I Wana Try

I didn`t really have a new years resolution, but I did realize the opportunity to do what I want in life is kind of passing by. For me pursuing my goals isn't entirely about a lack of inspiration. My life kind of sucks, I don`t really know what to do to feel better and accomplish everything I want.

A lot of things didn`t work out after I graduated high school. And before that things were pretty rocky. Simply, I had a concussion that no one really believed for some reason, and I got heart failure later on. I failed in college, there was just too much medication, and experiencing something entirely different than High school. All of this happened a while ago. These things relate now, because I sit at home not much to do. Just playing games, trying to write things, and imagine doing more with life.

I have different desires than years ago though, I used to wana be a veterinarian. And make comic books. But with all the free time, and a failed attempt at trying to do a welding training; I`m looking to roll the dice on my art and story telling skills. I set aside a few story lines, developed characters. I even started a spec script that I'm almost finished with. A few things happened last year that made me ask myself two hard questions. Some of my ideas are kind of good, and I really want to express them all eventually.

First question was, what would I do if no one was paying me to do it? And the other question was, what do I want to do before I`m not alive to try it anymore? The main answers I gave myself were, expressing things I`ve experienced. And creating all the things I want to see exist. The spec script is basically just, if I were to write Hancock 2. I`m going to complete it this year, and start writing other stories I want to produce. Plus I have a few game ideas that I want to flesh out. The video game ideas are more like, making something I wish I could of played.

But the main thing that got me wanting to really just do it, and see how it goes was talking to Miley Cyrus last year. At the time I was pretty much just trying to express some ideas. There are many things that I want to do, and leave behind in this life. They won`t happen if I don`t start with what I can do now, and plan for a better tomorrow, tomorrow. If I ever talk to her again, I want to be proud of what I accomplished after 2021.

I also have an Idea about cups, the way I think about it is pretty simple. Basically, we use paper cups, and plastic straws because they are a pretty profitable thing. Not because anyone at any point in time has ever actually needed a disposable item to hold a drink, and to drink with. And they can be reproduced in a large volume while not using a difficult to find material. And the pollution that accumulates from throwing them out is actually completely avoidable. I got this idea because I thought the paper straws, and metal straws were a super dumb idea.

But basically its a 3 part cup, that you purchase from restaurants that has a straw built into the top. So it would be made of a cover, a mid section, and a base. The bottom and cover would be metal, and you could switch the center out with a thick plastic piece. Just incase you want something hot like coffee, or anything else. When you go to a restaurant, you just bring that cup to them, and pay for a drink. This would completely remove the use of paper/plastic cups and straws, in restaurants.

People complain about pollution, and all that, but there are so many ways to moderate the issue. Simply because some things we use in society are just plain up unnecessary. Like fake finger nails, many things produced in society are literal garbage, because of the fact that you buy it, use it and throw it away. As its only purpose. A lot of things produced, if they disappeared tomorrow, no one would realize. But I don`t really have much of a way to market, or produce this cup idea, and I think about things similare to that. Along with me trying to write stories n what not, those kinds of ideas are something I`m going to be fleshing out, and writing about this year as well.

I wanted to talk to Greta Thunberg about the cup idea. Because she seems pretty big on co2 levels, and climate change. So if she backed an idea like the replacement for plastic/paper cups and straws in restaurants, it would atleast become something floating around in the idea pool for society. When you look at reality, most people who buy from McDonalds, Applebee's, and all the other restaurants. Would be completely capable of owning a cup that they clean out and take to the restaurant for a drink. Not being allowed to purchase a drink if they don`t bring the cup. No one would die of thirst or anything like that; starving people don`t eat at restaurants anyway, and for anyone who claims to be an adult, this isn't really a big change or responsibility. And it would have a 100% chance of helping pollution a little bit. I put a lot of thought into it, like the money made from it could go to art classes in poorer schools first, and give those same students a chance to make designs for the cups yearly. But I could talk about that stuff all day, hopefully by the end of this year it will be; one small step forward for society, one large leap for Joseph Wilson.
