There was a huge argument this weekend with a booty girl about my writing process.

She was even stepping on my foot during the two-step because I kept saying that even in my new book I am writing, I felt comfortable paying homage to movies, but not to other books.

When we did the tumble-dip, she was like, “Whyyyyyyyyyy!! It’s the same thiiiiiiing!” and I would just like wink in a way that meant, “Nope”.

This morning on my hot and sweaty run I decided to answer her via email.

I’ve been thinking about why I am willing to crib from movies but not from books, and have determined it’s because I feel comfortable knowing with film where the line is between a nod/homage and just ripping someone off.

I’m not as well-read in lit and thus don’t feel secure that I have a gauge for that.

So I made an email to the babe and her email address is iheartbrianspathe@gmail.com, so maybe give her your thoughts on where that line is, and then also if you know where it is.

Be that hardcore novelist you are.

Here is her response, and it came in a handwritten note from a doggie. It was in his cute little mouth, and he had a tag that said his name on it.

Well that makes perfect sense. And I appreciate that you’ve taken the time to figure it out rather than just dismissing it as a legit question.

Well the joke is on her, because I did dismiss it as a legit question. I only answered it because it was a nod to The Hunger Games.

Now you know more about how I write and also how I create different blog posts so much.

Do you live in an aquarium. Yes or no is fine, plus some extra info so that it’s more interesting than just yes or no.

It’ll happen, because I’m doing it all at once.

I hope the police are reading this so they will try to stop me.

I stole it off some infomercial on Fox Sports in late 2004, and it’s stuck with me ever since.

I stole it off some infomercial on Fox Sports in late 2004, and it’s stuck with me ever since.

I know this was a little odd and not so story-driven, but that’s because it was so deep.

The key is like, “Oh man, what happens next – will he get his email.” That’s like the biggest mystery of the story.

Good job reading it so much.

Well, I was watching 30 Rock last night, and look at what happened to me and my keyboard and my fingers.

EXT. [...]]]> You may remember last time I did the thing where I steal a line of dialog from TV and write a quick script from it, it was about a police station.

Well, I was watching 30 Rock last night, and look at what happened to me and my keyboard and my fingers.

That is really something as far as drama. I hope there’s a part two.

What show do you think that line was from.

After all this, I get it.

And yes, I watched last night. (I happen to be back in Cleveland for a few days, as well.)

A lot of people ask me how I got to be so big time. lol

No for real – sometimes people are like, “what’s the first thing you ever wrote?”

I usually don’t like to show it to anyone, since the truth is it was the pilot for House.

In a case of irony or karma or whichever one that is, once the producers stole it and sold the show to Fox, they cast an older version of me as House himself. Here’s the entire spec script.

That was the whole show – as I conceived it, they were these 1-minute shows with 29 minutes of commercials.

There’s how I got my first agent.

Go to Spaeth Day – we gotta get those bikes for Kiana!

There are no non-trilogies around here, so this follow-up post was inevitable.

Am I right or what.

Establishing shot. It’s pouring rain – it’s the saddest, least romantic place ever.

There are no non-trilogies around here, so this follow-up post was inevitable.

TO BE CONCLUDED.

Pretty much I’m the one always saying this, so let me take a stab at it and see how it goes.

This just kinda formed itself in my head over the past 36 hours. It kept making me cry, so I thought, [...]]]> I know the big word on the street is I can’t write drama.

Pretty much I’m the one always saying this, so let me take a stab at it and see how it goes.

This just kinda formed itself in my head over the past 36 hours. It kept making me cry, so I thought, “Hey, maybe I can make drama now.”

The part that makes me cry is how she mocks his shoulder tattoo, and then again when he selflessly gives her his shoes.

A third time is when the bill for that door comes, but that was a deleted scene. How much crying was in it for you.

I’m actually conducting a new experiment where I turn on the TV, listen to the first line of dialog I hear, and then write a super short script about it.

I like that.

Wow.

Can you guess which TV show the line of dialog came from. Here is a hint – it wasn’t Dancing at Some Stars.

There’s no way I can make an explanation of this deep material happen so here is Blue Shirt Forever.

EXT. EGYPT – MORNING

Establishing shot. Only [...]]]> Maybe you are one of the viral video fans of my big Blue Shirt series, and if so here is Part One and Part Two.

There’s no way I can make an explanation of this deep material happen so here is Blue Shirt Forever.

Okay so now that you need something to make you stop crying, have a watch at @worstfan reading to a cat animal from The Christmas Bridge: A Timeless Excitement Fable.

I will play the guy and also I will do the voice of the shirt and the shirt will be a cartoon shirt with real fabric subtext.

How fun does this movie sound.

Gum is one of those which is why I have so much gum all the time.

Gum is one of those which is why I have so much gum all the time.

Well there’s another way things make me give away my money dollars and I wrote this short screenplay about it and it’s called the thing in the title and that’s The Man Who Liked Blue Shirts and this really happened to me yesterday.

Do you think I could stretch that into a whole movie and sell it to Lifetime if I made a find/replace for Brian and Brianna happen.

The backup plan is the main plan – that’s those movies and you already know that.

Well one is in [...]]]> Well in case my new book doesn’t make that crazy money happen to me because of how I forget to market it again, maybe the backup plan will be the way to go.

The backup plan is the main plan – that’s those movies and you already know that.

Well one is in the works in a way that is looking nice and here was part of the big online internet chat about the next steps in making it happen with these guys and they are guys that are making the movie.

I changed their names because right now that movie is still a secret movie and not a movie for you to know about just yet.

Guy has joined
Tucker has joined

Tucker: hello everybody
Tucker: can this be voice?

me: I’m in a starbucks

Guy: lol

me: lol I really am why is that funny

Tucker: like moby dick
Tucker: what did i miss?
Tucker: good news i hope
Tucker: are you on your droid?

me: no my netbook

Tucker: can you send that budget?

me: I did
me: he did a first pass – not meant to be a hard breakdown of the script – just a “yeah this is a realistic ballpark number”

Tucker: hmn
Tucker: interesting numbers
Tucker: i didn’t see where it said how many days the shoot is…
Tucker: nevermind
Tucker: 50

me: does it say that lol

Tucker: haha
Tucker: no 20

me: I thought he had it at 18
me: which doesn’t seem like enough

Tucker: yeah, that’s kinda short
Tucker: are there any weather stages/transitions in OH?

Guy: yeah, winter and not winter

Tucker: the biggest issue is finding covered sets in the event that there is weather then

me: if it’s snowing can I still take off my shirt
me: lol oh that is going on my blog

After that Guy was like, “oh you are such a narcissist!” and Tucker was like, “guys stick to business!” and then I was like, “lol” and then lost my internet connection and went to go make my muscles happen at the gym.

Hopefully those guys worked it out I better email them to check in. btw I am Team Tucker between the two of them.

Here’s the jib.

One of the cool movie guys I know was having a read on my new script and yep you guessed it [...]]]> I know I am being bad about how I’m so racist with this post but you should read it so you can have a life lesson happen to you.

Here’s the jib.

One of the cool movie guys I know was having a read on my new script and yep you guessed it there’s another uppity olde tyme British kid in it like the little fella from Who Shot Mamba?.

Well he made a note for the script that was like, “what is with you and young British people,” and also another note was, “what is with you and tents”.

I did a response note and I wrote that note in magic marker handwriting and sent it to him in the mail so he could know how serious I was.

If you showed me a bunch of proper young Brits in a tent I’d have a heart attack from laughing so hard.

There was another version that went out UPS and it was the same note but in a different color.

That was my day yesterday; what were you up to.

Oh if you’ve been missing that guy Timmy from WSM? he shows back up in that new Christmas book that I have coming, and now he makes his words happen on his Twitter.

One of those was to learn how to type proper English again. I also quit energy drinks for good, wrote an entire screenplay, and finished formatting my next book.

One of those was to learn how to type proper English again. I also quit energy drinks for good, wrote an entire screenplay, and finished formatting my next book.

People say Twitter, et al can be a distraction.

Another thing I did was leave hundreds of Google reviews for various places I’ve been, and a lot more for places I’ve never been at all.

I did one for this high school and it was like a real drug addiction from there.

Was this review helpful? Yes – No – Flag as inappropriate

You’ll note some of the other reviews also have things about kites. Maybe you can go leave some kite-based reviews there if you have some time.

The faculty must love kites.

I have more reviews – that should be good for about two years worth of blog content, right?

Missing my silly-talk blog already, and best wishes, your friend,

Okay let’s get real for you about the book. The story is a cool one and maybe you can find the Christmas meme Brian put in it so you can learn about yourself and how deep you can be.

That’s how we grow and save the poor people from those mosquitos the internet nerds are always complaining about. How come they can’t fix that one again?

LOL!

I hope you like the book when you do your reading with it.

Nothing was really coming to mind, so I looked in the DRAFTS thing in WordPress to see what I had.

Here’s everything:

What Ever Happened To madpropstobakedpotatoes.com
What PTSA Also Stands For
On Being Deceptively Muscular
I Watch Sober House Every Week Now
My Final Word on LeBron to the Knicks

The Monopoly Movie
The Leg Tattoo

None of those are striking me, although they’re all things I still want to touch on.

The last one reminds me I need to go get my shoulder tattoo maladjusted. Maybe I should do that this week, so it’s fresh for the fun summertime and the big election.

I wish I could tell you what I was working on right now so you could have some heart attacks.

Might be on another social media break soon. : /

So upon return from my big-time Twitter/Facebook/whatever hiatus, the question becomes, “what now?”

To answer this question, I need to make a bullet-point list, and then put the bullets in little digital disguises that make them look like numbers.

For example, take these bullet-points:

*

Once I’ve finished getting their espionage clothes on them, they’ll look more like this:

1)
2)
3)

You see?

As the alleged numbers explain the positives and negatives behind why I should and/or should not be an avidly aggressive Tweeter, nobody will even know that they’re really bullet-points, and that’s how the logic starts to come into place?

Anyway, in the two weeks I was gone, I wrote a complete screenplay, two full movie treatments, did good on the other thing I do, and got in six fewer I’m-Tweeting-while-driving based car wrecks.

Take that for what you will, and please let me know where to buy little hats for those bullets, because that will look so cool on them when they’re doing their spy work.

I also have a script to finish that requires some underwater research – eliminating all distractions and not getting electrocuted is essential.
