The Opening Door Fiasco

Every morning I get in to work and I’m confronted with a pain in the ass social obligation. The whole Holding-The-Door-Open-For-The-Person-Behind-you thing.

Being that I am a socially awkward person, I have difficulty judging just when my obligation ends. For example, if the person walking behind me is tailgating me on foot, then the choice is clear, you hold the door open. Two-three steps behind, same deal.

The tricky part is the middle ground, where the person is just far enough that you have to wait at the door while holding it open. But some people are worse than me, they’ll hold the door open when I am ten feet behind them. So now because they are holding the door open, the obligation has returned to my court where I am suppose to speed up to an awkward jog to ‘accept’ their open door.

Then I have to say ‘thank you’ for something I never wanted and really, inconvenienced me so this person can feel good about opening a door for someone.

It’s bullshit. I don’t like holding the open for someone and don’t want someone holding it open for me. I can open my own damn door, don’t fucking make me increase my footspeed to make you feel good you indolent fuck.

Woah I gotta calm down. I’m just a little on edge trying to get everything together so I can start my new job.

On the acting front, I haven’t done anything since my 3minute film thing. I’ce organised to meet a ‘producer consultant’ for my tv pilot I’ve written, so I’ll keep you updated on that.

Also, I’m re-writing a zombie movie script that I should be able to show an agent through my screenwriting class in April supposedly and I’m looking to apply for a master in media practice so I can get a job where I actually get to write crap.

Also, don’t know if I mentioned this before but Gilbert Arenas should just keep his mouth shut when it comes to politics. a) he initially didn’t endorse Obama because he would have to pay more tax (his perogrative) but then b) Baron Davis owned him by calling him out for looking out for himself over the poor.

then c) He jumped on the bandwagon when Obama won saying he was ‘joking’ before. Sorry, didn’t see the humour in it. and then to really put the nail in the coffin d) he actually hopes Hillary and Sarah Palin will be the candidates in 2012. Word?

I mean, I love Gilbert to death, and I try really hard to justify the stuff he says, but this shit I really can’t put a spin on. It’s just pure idiocy. But we’re all humans, and we all write or say shit we regret. So let’s move onward and upward.

Right now I’m reading the comments on Gilbert’s blog, check out this wankjob: “GIL, my wife has a crush on you and wants your jersey on the March 17th game AT UTAH. We’ll be sitting front row, center-court. See you there.”

Who the hell do you think you are? If your woman really does have a crush on Gilbert maybe you should let her suck his dick.

And that’s all I have to say about that.
