yeah, so, anyway

Yeah, so, anyway, that was a sorry way to start off a new year, wasn't it? Hateration thinly veiled as constructive criticism. When all it was was Hate- straight up, no chaser. But, that's okay. God don't like ugly, so you can be sure that no amount of makeup can save her trifling ass. But I digress.

So far, the year has been fabulous! I'm still working from home, doing my government contracting thing as well as working in a clothing store at the mall (yech!) about twice a week. This government contracting thing has gotten me down as of late. See, it's a small company (I'm used to either working for the military or Fortune 500) which allows me to work from home, but many times it just seems like a huge ball of clusterf*ck that I spend a lot of time trying to unravel. Today, after speaking with Sgt. "Duh? I dunno?" at the Pentagon for about 20 minutes, I decided to call it a day. I mean, how am I supposed to get stuff poppin' if I don't have any backup? Work with me, people!

This morning, I received this in my inbox:

Dear Fantastika,

Just a quick note to thank you for letting me take a look at THE BEST SCRIPT EVER which I read over the holiday.

Unfortunately, this project is not going to be for us. I just didn't have a strong enough affinity for this particular plot to develop the project further here.

I do appreciate your giving me the opportunity to see your work and I wish you the best of luck with the project elsewhere.

Best wishes,
Professional Ball Licker Jones

Okay, so he may not be a quote-unquote "professional" ball licker, but sending out bunk, dream-crushing messages like them marks him as maybe an quote-unquote "apprentice" ball licker. Maybe a ball tickler...It's neither here nor there. Why? Because 2009 is my year, baby! It's all about getting my movie made this year! You know I'm gonna let ya'll know how it turns out, right?

Of course, dahling. Of course.
