Had to cut Sir Nathan loose yesterday. I don't know for how long but he did something that really pissed me off. On purpose and just out of the blue. He and I got into it on New Years because he kept calling some actors ugly and it got to the point I just let it drop because I didn't want things to escalate but then the other day when I posted a promo poster on social media about the new "Last of us" series on HBO he goes and posts "Ugly black man" This really hit me hard and it was at the worst possible time for dude to do something like this. I don't like the idea of calling anyone ugly because I am sick of preconceived notions of what or who is beautiful. This is why so many folks suffer from low self esteem and this body shaming bullshit. I asked him to remove the post but he didn't so I just blocked him on instagram. I'm actually starting to get good at cutting people from my life. Sometimes it worries me but I don't need people in my life who play games with my head and try to hurt or manipulate me. Thats what enemies are for right?
The whole thing with Nathan is messed up though because I had a meeting yesterday with the director who worked with me on a NWB episode and we are gonna go into production on Sasquatch and The Mythology Sisterhood. I'd planned some pretty cool stuff for Nathan but after we have released all the footage already shot as webisodes I will have to recast him. There are some other folks I have in mind for roles. Some I might ask. Some are flakes and we may need to audition some talent. There are a few actors I'd love to have come back to reprise stuff but some are SAG or union which might make things difficult. We'll see. I spent much of tonight tinkering with a six page script. Probably will format it or have homeboy do it for me over the weekend. Theres no rush because I gotta save up a GANG of money. The filming date is tentatively set for sometime in April yet May or June even might be more realistic. I was planning to quit my job in a few months but for the sake of this film (and my comic book projects) I gotta hang on just a little bit longer...
They started training us the other day on some new procedures since we have phased out the other security company that was helping us out. I was thinking of maybe changing my post just for a change of pace/scenery. I am so tired of having to deal with these kids. When I lived at a shelter and it was mostly all adults we never really had any problems. Here it can quickly go from 0 to 100 over some drama or questionable individuals hanging around trying to do shadey shit. Thankfully its been rainy and cold recently so folks are staying inside. The bad news is we got flooded and it might be awhile before all the elevators are working again on top of some other issues due to electrical damage. I really feel for the maintenance because they gotta go up and down the stairs to bring in or out trash. Ugh and I lost another damn laptop tonight. This is the second laptop/tablet hybrid that has died on me. The other one kicked the bucket back in Oct when I was in Florida visiting the moms. Perhaps these things are simply not worth having? I was uploading files and had the laptop playing Pandora as to not go into sleep mode which would stop the upload. When I couldn't get the computer to come out of sleep mode I had to do a force restart. Afterwards the stupid USB ports stopped working. I couldn't even get the damn thing to charge. Amazon told me they'd refund my money which is wonderful. Meanwhile I did a system cleanse that completed just as the power depleted. Luckily I had my chromebook but I need to get another laptop to keep here at work in my locker in case I ever don't fee like lugging a backpack to work. I have an older one but its not able to update to the latest windows and is LOW on storage/memory. It truly is always something.
