Life....The Movies, the game and congrats

Its been a while since I made my last entry, I haven't been on that much, because I have a few things to take care of.  I recently finished my job application, as a writer to bioware corp, I sent out the proper forms and my alternate submission that is required, now all thats left to do is wait.  I have entered two poems of mine in a state contest.  One went to the finals and the other went on to the semi-finals, but I didn't win.  I did however enter the poem that went to the finals, in a international poem comptetion, here are the two. 

Finals

A Warriors Poem

               A warrior who is caged by his own dreams

Maybe this man is bound by fate

Walking around the world for nothing it seems

He only dreams of being great

A loner, who never wanted a part of a team

Driven by the flames, which fuel his hate

Semi-fianls

Fate?

A simple twist of fate

Is it a god on the rise

And how do humans rate

What determines who lives or dies

Maybe he’s watching and waiting

Listening to our every cry

But what really makes a man great

Is the fight worth a try?

What if, all it takes is a simple twist of fate

I did however what to enter the developer for a day contest, but didn't have the time to do so.  I have been revising my script that I wrote, once that is finished, I am going to enter it in a screenwriting contest, the ten finalists, will pitch their scripts to hollywood producers, for a contract and the studio will buy the rights to produce the movie.  I did find the time to go shopping, but I did get one game the movies, after reading the news that the consle verisons were drop, I decided to go pick it up for the PC.  It's great game, I made a mud monster movie, but it looks like a chessy 1950 monster movie, but its fun.  I mainly updated my movie collection, heres what I brought.
