Being that its LJ...I should post something emo. So here are some new lyrics to a song called "Miracle on Gillingham".
Verse 1: What became of paradise? Reality...a dream. Love unearthed from ashes was bursting at the seam.
Companionship discovered Lovers all the way Friendship first, then soulmates What did we always say?
Chorus: A miracle on Gillingham, As Canaveral launched the sky The Central Florida moonlight, ignited you and I Several years of longing, delivered now in bliss... In what I'd learn to treasure as the world's perfect kiss
Verse 2: The heart doesn't know zoning A fact I've often fought Believe in our connection Right now its all we got
I still can feel your heartbeat Im closer than it seems Despite my self destruction You've never left my dreams
Chorus: A miracle on Gillingham, As Canaveral launched the sky The Central Florida moonlight, ignited you and I Several years of longing, delivered now in bliss... In what I'd learn to treasure as the world's perfect kiss
Verse 3: From Georgia to the Ocean, I see you at my side Some things should be forever, despite chemical pride.
Never forget that moment, right when you kissed me back. As long as we can feel it, We'll always have a chance

I am currently on the job hunt! If anyone in Orlando has a lead for me, please drop me a line! Thank you! :-)
I'm looking for something around $10 / hr full time. Commission-based sales jobs are also something I am good at!
I've done lots of call center and customer service jobs and I like that sort of thing. I'm pursuing jobs in my field as well (digital media) but for now I'm working on just getting something to pay the bills! Thank you!
Its currently 8:15am as the sun rises on a majestic Central Florida morning. As I write this right now, I sit in a giant room with 692 (give or take) other people. Myself and these other strangers have been selected as Jurors on this glorious morn. Thankfully some of our tax dollars are put to excellent use with the addition of free WiFi for the use of jurors, attorneys, and probably the felons here too I'd imagine. As I look around the room at the cast of characters sporting matching JUROR badges, I have to wonder if some of these people are the very felons on trial today. If not, some of them likely will be in the future.
I figure its been a long time since I've made a LiveJournal post, so my plan is to use my downtime today to update everyone. Also if this becomes the next "O.J. Trial" this will become the first chapter of the book I will pen from my experience as a Juror in a legendary court case. Juror #355 is gonna cash in, yo (if possible)!
So here I sit reflecting on life. Sipping my bottled Starbucks Frappuchino (poured into a styrofoam cup that retails for 35 cents per the request of the bailiff. Glass is dangerous, evidently). I must currently save & stop for pledge of allegiance.
Ok that's over. I feel more American now. I also had to raise my right hand and say "I do" after some woman rambled undecipherable rhetoric into a microphone. This either means I promised to be an honest juror, or I've just married a slightly overweight hispanic woman standing next to me. I'm hoping its the former. Here I sit. The 6 plasma High Definition TVs are showing a "Sony DVD/Video cassette Recorder" splash screen. We could watch either format. Efficient.
VHS it is. How about that government technology, eh?
This video appears to be shot on VHS as well. It lacks any vision. It appears it was put together by a middle school TV Production class. In a non-magnet school, no less. The biggest fallacy is that in the video everyone is smiling. Guess what? Nobody who REALLY has Jury is smiling right now.
"Please don't feel ashamed or embarrassed if you are excused as a juror." Oh yeah it'll be a trail of tears back to the Centroplex II Parking garage (Validated parking, btw! score!).
We have a new woman speaking. I like this lady! She looks like Condeleeza Rice and speaks as if she's preaching in an "Urban" church. Amen, sister! Preach it!! MmmHmm!! Praise da Lawd!!!! She's cracking jokes and actually getting laughs. She's pretty good. She'd make a great radio guest.
Okay. Now we get to sit around like pawns on a chess board. Awaiting our digits called out over a public address system. Nobody has a name. Just a number. It seems so...governmental? That's the best way I can explain it.
Here, I sit. I wonder how many hours I'll be here. I wonder what types of life changing excitement and experiences I will be lucky enough to enjoy in these next few hours? My curiosity is peeked and its only been 1 hour so far!
Two hours.
Three hours.
Four hours.
Lunch time now. Every half hour or so the humorous black woman would bark numbers into her microphone. However, so far I've been spared. Its as if a "get out of jail free card" resides in my pocket. I tiredly wander out of the Jury room to find sustenance. Justice makes my tummy rumble.
I never thought I'd miss the jury room, but as the surprisingly piercingly cold gust of Central Florida wind whips across my face I find myself wishing I was sequestered. Temperatures outside of our beautiful court house have dropped significantly. As has my interest in serving as a Juror. I want to get the hell out of here. I'd love to hop in my car right this very minute...
But instead I hopped over to a deli for a sandwich. I put it in my backpack (like some sort of a King's Quest inventory item) and scurried my freezing little ass down the block and back to the Jury room (or Tank as I've decided to call it from this point forward).
I arrived back to the Tank to find something quite hysterical. An old man has fallen asleep in his chair. Understandable. Hell, its even normal in this circumstance. However what makes this occasion humorous is the fact that the man is the loudest snorer I've ever heard. Out of the 100 people in the room, 50 of them were giggling uncontrollably at the unconscious gentleman who was doing an incredible impression of a buzzsaw. A sight like this cannot be wasted.
Fortunately for me, my MacBook Pro is equipped with an onboard web cam as well as state of the art video editing software. Its time for my inner Digital Media-man to go to work! Rather than bore you with the details, I'll just post the final product right here:
So thats the snoring man. This video is also how I spent the final two hours of Jury duty before being told that, "I am officially dismissed".
What? Are you serious? That's it? No major trial? No book deal? Judith Reagen is not calling me? For shame. Yes, folks. My first summons for Jury duty was a waste. I'm thankful to not be stuck in a trial for weeks on end. But I honestly would've rather had a little more of a taste of the justice system. They gave me a nibble. I'd prefer a bite. Hell, maybe even two!
At least I got the pleasure of laughing in unison with my peers at a mans supposed narcolepsy. That in and of itself is pretty rewarding I suppose. Go Justice!

I was the editor of this film! We are an official selection of the Brouhaha film festival in Orlando. We're being screened in the first session at 11am on this Saturday (Dec 8th).
Come see my work!! It'll be worth it! Plus many other films will be shown that morning as well! Tickets are only $5
Billy Joel has (somewhat) come out of retirement and written a new song! He wanted to write a song about the Iraq War. He also wanted it to be performed by a younger musician so that it could be appreciated by a younger generation. Long Island born Cass Dillon was chosen as the artist by Billy himself. Dillon shows similarities of a young Billy Joel. Their voices certainly bear resemblance.
This song is so powerful. Billy did some classics about the Vietnam war back in the day. The man still knows how to write about wartime, thats for sure.
I've come to the conclusion I'm gay. Sorry guys, I've been holding out for far too long. I love pee-pee and I love to rub it all over my body.
Its good to finally say the truth!
YAY!
p.s. you should check out how amazingly awesome and talented I am on youtube. Not to be narcissistic, but my familiar face is beautiful.

One day Matthew Rex Downham (godmoney) will be strong enough to make his proclamations himself. Until then he'll have to live his real life through 3rd party means. Its ok, pal. It must feel somewhat freeing to get this stuff out in some way. ::hug::
I'm going to leave this posted for him. Poor bastard.
