My fault: Ben Folds Landed Adaptation
All I do is lay here.
I think about her, how did we get here?
Wait!
It was me, I pushed her away. It was my pride, my ego. She was far from perfect but my head was somewhere else. I am the reason for my endless spiral into nothing.

50 Word Story: Dont Leave Me This Way
All around me I see cold, white, sterile, walls. Wrapped in white chains and bands. I lay helpless scared, this is where you left me. Insane, shaking, without my sense. I never knew you were so heartless to leave my mind blank like the walls that surround me. Typical you.

Lyrics and Five Elements
Title: Landed
Artist: Ben Folds
Landed Lyrics
Plot: It seems to be about a relationship between a guy and a girl. It seems to be toxic and the guy leaves. He moves to the West Coast and realizes it was his fault all along. He finally gets his act together but when he figures it all out it might be too late.
Character: The guy who left, the girl who the guy left, it refers to everyone so I think its his friends or family, the lyrics also refer to a girl who didn't let the guy know his ex called him (a sister or an old friend).
Conflict: Him leaving and trying to get her back also not getting the call.
Theme: Don't just assume your right about everything. Sit back and take a look at everything around you before its too late to change.
Setting: From all I can tell he started in the East and moved to the West then back to the East for the girl. I think it is set in modern times.

Her skin is so soft and delicate reflected by the sun, truly edifying her beauty. I look at her and the love I have for her runs deep inside of me. Then a thought enters my mind and it hits me like a truck, don't get involved with the target.

50 Word Story: Beginning
Frozen In time. Eyes Locked on hers. He sees the glossy shine of her blue eyes with a fiery passion and desire from underneath. Her presence sucking him in like a Blackhole. He steps into the overall glow that encompasses her. He grabs her hand and they begin their journey.
Lets talk...
In the first impulse James was expressing his feelings to his close friend sky. No matter what he did he couldn't get her to feel the same way and she ended up getting back with her ex boyfriend Jake who is a total tool. I think instead of fixing the conversation between James and Sky James is going to go mix stuff up with Jake.
Jake: Jimmy buddy looks like you lose at every turn.
James: Just wait she will realize who you really are and change her mind.
Jake: Just face it buddy she is always going to run to me and there is nothing you can do about it. I can do whatever i want she will always come crawling back.
James: That's not how its going to be anymore. Leave town get out of here.
Jake: Or what?
James: Lets leave that to your imagination shall we?
Jake: She isnt even worth it! why are you fighting for her so hard?
James: If I dont who will? you? I dont think so buddy
Jake: I'm not going anywhere.
James: Ha we will see.
James drops the bar that was hidden under his sleeve into his hand and before he goes in for the hit sky enters the scene.
Sky: James don't!
Jake: See? Its always going to be me.
James: I guess your right.
Sky: Hey I'm a big girl i can take care of myself.
James: did you not hear what he said?
Sky: I did but watch he will change.
James: They never do sky! Fine you stay with him but I'm not going to stick around and clean up the pieces.
Sky: James... don't...
James:Good luck Skylar

50 Word Story: Tick
Like three gummy bears stuck together by the binding glue of justice. Standing on the rooftops of righteousness taking leaps of pride from righteous building to righteous building. Like a linebacker tackling the reciever of deceit. Pulling your pants up after fear has pulled them down. He is the tick!

50 Word Story: Another bottle
Awakened by another bone shattering nightmare. Everyone says time heals everything but sometimes things are written in stone and can't be erased. When you have had the one and only person you have loved ripped from you all you are left with are your nightmares and your rum soaked pillow.

The Beat
My script was about a boy who really wants this girl. He thinks about her all the time but he is stuck in the friend zone. They're really good frends and he treats her really good but she only has eyes for other guys. I dot really know what to do to improve my script.

50 Word Story: Rocky
Leaning against the ropes blood and sweat dripping off his tattered face and body. He stood there in a full body paralysis thinking about all the people he was letting down. A giant bilboard was in front of his eyes flashing failure. It all changed with one simple chant, "Rocky".

50 Word Story: Flawed
Rain beating on the rooftop with malice. Clouds empty. The lightning bolts without electricity without meaning. The fist of Zeus pounding in the sky looking down, disappointed. Hatred and a firery desire in our hearts not love but to fight. That Is our fatal flaw. Why we dwell in sorrow.

50 Word Story: Internity
His hands were shaking and sweating yet they were firmly set in the form of an unmistakeable fist. What he was about to lose was more than what he prepared for. The only force standing between him and darkness was the glint of her light, her beauty. Stronger than him.

Shake The Dust
I dedicate this to the orphans and the lonely. Not only for you this is also for the small, the weak, the insecure. This goes out to the people who think they cant do something and the people who told them they couldn't do it. Shake the dust. This is for the outside looking in. Shake the dust. This is for the uncles, the addicts, and for the dead beat dads. Shake the dust, shake it hard, be firm and be strong. Fighters this is for you, this also for the unprotected, for the unguarded.. Shake the dust as it falls from the skies and gets caught in your hair, your lungs, and in your eyes. Before it consumes you and everyone around. Like the unloved who this is for and also for the thugs who beat the same kid everyday until he went limp just to get what they wanted. This is also for he boy who stood and shook the dust and helped the helpless. R.I.P. Be not afraid for the fallen who have shaken it for they set an example for us all. Shake the retched hollow, shake the endless in between, and shake the dust.

Direct Orders
Your alone no one is looking and you have been given express orders to rock out! Rock out like Friday and Saturday night, like hopping into the caddy stereo blasting my song. Rock out like catching Smokey The Bear smoking a cigar. Rock out like life like breath like your first kiss and every single one after that. Man rock out like your first car. Rock out like you just set a world record for rocking out. Rock out like Ghandi came back for one last party. Rock out like rubbing Buhda's belly. Rock out like na na na na can't catch me! Rock out like your free, like on my own. Rock out like your eyes locked with her's for the very first time and the chemistry that flows. Rock out like running through the sprinklers at three in the morning! Rock out like the party doesnt end. Rock out like you found the elixir of life and have the girl who you want to drink it with. Rock out like riding shotgun. Crack a bottle and rock out like finding change in the cup holder of your car. Rock out like those weird phenomenons that make me look like freakin batman. Rock out like God just gave you a second chance. Rock out like she loves you back. Rock out like tonight is your last because it very well could be. Rock out like your dreams. Rock out like skipping into eternity. Rock out like if dad showed up in his corvette and got the chance to meet your best friends. Rock out! Rock out! Rock out like your the matrix. Rock out like escape from the matrix. Rock out like you have been paralyzed for twelve years now your walking, running, jumping, and rocking out. Life is short so live and rock out however you can.

Thinking About You
You, you, you, only one on my mind. I can only think about you. I mean I'm going crazy! I swear I'm thinking about you like Topanga thinks about Cory, like Tuesdays think about Morie, like Bron thinks about glory, like west side thinks about the story. I'm thinking about you like cars think about keys, like bees think about knees, like achoo thinks about sneeze, like salesmen think about fees. Why can I only think about you like mermaids think about ocean, like hands think about lotion. Cant keep my mind straight because I'm busy thinking about you like destiny thinks about fate, like regret thinks about too late. I miss you like an empty vase misses flowers, like a clock with no hands misses hours, like a homeless man misses showers. Stop! Try not to think. I'm trying not to think about you. Like heart tries not to think about heartbreak, like earth tries not to think about earthquake, like syrup tries not to think about pancake. Like Angel tries not to think about Buffy, like Hagrid tries not to think about Fluffy. All useless. I'm sitting here and I am thinking about you. Like acid thinks about the Beatles, like shots think about needles. Like life thinks about breathe, like gloom thinks about death, Like kids think about recess..... like I think about you.

Intro to me
I chose James Caan as my pen name. For those that dont know he is the actor who played the cool guy guy from The Godfather (which I've never seen because its R) who is also kind of a douche bag.
So what you need to know about me is that I'm a movie buff just like my dad. My favorites include Rainman, Godfather, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dumb and Dumber, Lord of the Rings, and Matrix. When I was young I played football another thing I picked up from my father but stopped when I hurt my back and never returned to the field. Now I spend my time with my friends, Snowboarding, and Wake surfing.
P.S. Unicorns and dragons are real!!
