Cross...

...as in your fingers, your toes, your legs, your eyes, your nuts...basically whatever the fuck is humanly possible to cross over for luck.

So anyway, at some point last year, I believe I alluded to having an opportunity to score an "independent" western of sorts. Don't ask me which post it was...I'm so sporadic at posting even I don't remember which one it was (and I'm too lazy to go back and check). Well, today at noon-ish, I'm meeting with the exec-producer of said western to try and convince him that I'm his man - there's something quasi-ironic about meeting a producer of a western at high-noon, hehe! I really don't know anything about the flick - aside that's it's on par with made-for-TV quality and it apparently has Wes Studi in it (Magua from Last of the Mohicans). Beggars can't be choosers - and at this point I'll take anything...I don't care if it was made for Skinemax!

Given the sound quality of what little of my work has been recorded, I'm almost afraid to hand out demo CD's. But what the hell, it's all I've got - it's not like I'm not proud of most of what I've composed, it's just that most of my recordings (be they live or MIDI) sound like ass. Hopefully he'll ignore the low production values and realize that, a: I've got the compositional chops to give him what he wants, and, b: he can't get a better composer for his money - what very, very, very little of it I would ask for (a strong selling point, in my opinion).

Who knows, maybe he'll really like me and be willing to fork out the dough for a 15-30 piece ensemble. And while I'm on this crazy train of optimism maybe I'll wake-up tomorrow with a 12-inch cock and finally get to start that career in hardcore porn I've always been dreaming of (Ron Jeremy can't be the fat guy with a giant schlong forever right?). At this point, I'll just settle for him liking me enough to give me a shot. My guy Rich who's been pulling me along through all of this did mention that the guy might show up with a short Quicktime clip just to test me out with...so that's got potential I figure.

At any rate, that's it for the moment. I figured I'd go ahead and share this what with the blatant hostility of the last post burning a hole in what's left of my soul...I could use a little positive thinking at this point. So, to my faithful following - all 3 or 4 of your or whatever I'm down to at this point - wish me well. Or at the very least hope that I don't come across as some blithering idiot - miracles can happen.
