Petey's First Time

My first blog. How'd ya like them apples? Well, I may as well spiel to get shit out there. I'm 19, in second year in college, and am currently, desperately trying to get some shorts in working order to shoot, preferably starting before crimbo. So flat out writing some seriously McGannesque (i.e., lots of drinking bouts, arguments and irrational women) materiel, with an eye to shoot something featuring the DeNiro to my Scorsese (for want of a more modest example), Stephen "Rory Furey" Considine. Maybe him in a Santy outfit is appropriate imagery, no?

Anyway, I've got one script that I've begun writing. I'm not 100% sure where I'm going with it, which is a dangerous idea but one that has me jazzed. It'more a collection of themes, images, and character bits than a set narrative, following a couple of sorta unlikeable, sleazy, but loveable characters around Galway at Christmastime. Short, sweet and dark. With willy jokes. It's been born of countless Bruce, Pogues and Sinatra songs that have been pumping through my ears lately, as well as the sheer alcoholic swagger that the City of Galway gives off. In other words Irishness.....

Anyway, that's the intersting part of one's life pour le moment. Kepp gandering, laydees and gentos
