Scene 1

Fade In

Enter a young man, about 5'8 , short brown hair and light brown eyes. Walks slowly toward a bench as the camera zooms out to get the whole picture. The Setting: the boardwalk, the beach in the background.
The young man sits there quietly and looks up into the sun and stares across the deep blue sea. Watches the birds fly over head and squints his eyes in the sun trying to see the boats from a distance. With the sun in his eyes and the breeze brushing along his face, a tear forms out of his right eye. The tear drop falls down onto the wooden bench and the spot twinkles in the sunlight. The young man quickly wipes his eyes inorder for no one to see or assume he is crying. He did this because he was insecure or afraid someone might think differently of him.

Sometimes he wishes he could just wish upon a star...
so people wouldn't assume the littlest things are true. This young man had a lot of dreams and many people put him down. This made him fear more of what others thought.
The young man sat back and soaked up the last drop of sun left in the sky before it starts to set in the ocean's distance. He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. The young man was satisfied where he was. He had no fear except that tear drop that formed and people assuming something else. This made him realize that why should he be afraid of what others think. He shouldn't care. He should be happy that he is satisfied with himself right now. He's sitting on a bench facing the beach with the sunsetting in the distance and a perfect breeze hitting his face. Why should he fear anything?
He took one more deep breathe and quickly jumped through the railing that divided the beach and the boardwalk and ran toward the ocean. He quickly slid off his sandals as he continued running without falling. He took off his white t-shirt then took everything out of his pockets and wrapped it up in his shirt, he threw it to the ground and ran into the ocean. His feet slid right on the sand where the waves crash in. He dove his whole body into the water and floated ontop. He sat there laying on his back and let the sun sink through his body with the last light of the day. He smiled and layed there until it became cool and the sun's rays were slowly dissapearing into the distance. The young man walked slowly out of the water and walked toward the sand. He then turned around and faced the ocean, he sat down. He just watched the sun dissappear and waited for the moon and the dark sky to be revealed. He laid down on his back.

He was waiting for the stars to come out.

Currently Listening to:
Dashboard Confessional
- Dusk and Summer

I'm going to bed but I wanted to update real quick...

I've been hesitating on buying the new Dashboard CD because I heard such mixed reviews. But after finally saying fuck it I'm gonna buy it...its freakin dashboard. So I bought it and I realized I'm going to there concert in August so I should def. buy it cuz they are gonna play a lot of new songs. So I listened to it once and its alright...but then I listened to it a 2nd time and I absoultly love it! It is a little more mature sound then the old stuff but some songs are just as good and just as amazing. I'm happy I bought it, very very good. And I can't wait to go to the concert!...thanks jill :)

I was suppose to go see Roniie Day 2nite but I ended up not going...hopefully he'll be back in Jersey soon. His album comes out Sept 19th! I'm really excited lol. So camp is pretty good...I'm color war captain--we are winning ( we are the black team)...dont get me started on the colors (black and white..enough said lol)...anyways...i finished writing our color war song...I think it came out pretty good for what its. Pacsun--they have been cutting a lot of hours...which is good, cuz i dont like workin back to back a lot lol. I called out of work 2day but i was oncall and i dont think they needed me anyways. I'm not workin until monday which is good..so i have another free weekend. Hopefully city and beach...would complete some of the things on my list of things to do this summer...

I'm off to bed...but I'm gonna leave you with Dashboard's Dusk and Summer

Dashboard Confessional
- Dusk and Summer

She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers and she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer
And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers
She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer

But you've already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on

And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than you'd been before
She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer
And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap
She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer"

But you've already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on

She said, "no one is alone the way you are alone"
And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known
Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last

But you've already lost
When you only had barely enough of her to hang on

p.s. your a loser :-p haha

THE BEST TIMES

I was sitting on the ground with my best friends looking up at the sky...

My 2 days of summer were probably my two favorite days ever so far! haha I had such a great time these past two days...I was actually happy and couldn't complain! It feels good being home and summer actually feeling like summer. I went to Red Bank fireworks and Juanitos with David, Jillian and April. The fireworks were awesome, i felt like a little kid looking up at the sky with my mouth open..."WOW" haha....it was so much fun. Example of not complaining about anything...right before the fireworks started there was this little kid behind me and spilled his coke on my back lol. I seriously was like its cool...(i mean obviously I wasnt gonna yell at the kid or be mean to the mother lol) and I didnt even complain i was just like wutever...cant do much about it...so I just let it be...and it didnt even put me in a bad mood lol. I laughed it off and felt probably better lol. I couldn't complain...I was sitting on the ground with my best friends looking up at the sky watching fireworks on a perfect summer night...no worries wutsoever...i was so happy lol. Then a fun ride home in traffic and a stop at dunkin donuts to end the night...it was great! Then today....hung out with beth and leanna at beths cuzins and chilled by the pool, saw the freehold fireworks from far and just had a good time. Then me,beth,lee and alan went to see Click...good movie! It was fun. I am very happy with my 2 days off of work (both jobs) lol...it couldnt have been any better...it was fun!

I think I learned something these past few days...sometimes you need to do things that you know are for the best, as much as you may think otherwise....sometimes you need to be the one to start the motion of the beginning of something or the resolution to it. Sometimes we all need to play our parts for things to happen. Sometimes you just know you need to do the right thing and sitck with it....it makes you feel good and realize...you dont have to complain much and you actually grow a lot by doing this...you feel a lot more confident and you teach yourself something new.

I said this to Jillian and she agreed it made a lot of sense...I was so happy that the only thing I could complain about was that I was HOT...and i was like...you know some people would say things could be worse stop complaining...but hey...if the only thing that im complaining about is that Im hot...then its a good thing...give me this and let me be happy that thats the worst thing in my life right now is ....that I'm hot haha. I didn't even complain about being wet from the coke spill on my shirt...I think i'm learning lol

you should do the same
