Space, the second to last frontier

Well here it is the first ever blog post for Mr. Berto B himself. Ive got my writing shirt on (yes i have a writin shirt) my roommates with his girlfriend (i think) and ive got The Biv playin in the background. So this thing that i call a blog will be updated weekly. Im not the kind of guy that could keep this up everyday since im not that interesting enough to have something new to say everyday. So ill talk about the BIG items of the week past. Today will be a little short seeing how i want to see its greeted into the lives of the millions of people out there. Well I guess ill get into it since we arent gettin any younger. Saturday (ill work my way backward throught the week) was a good day since i got to go to a concert with my new good friend Sydne (thats not how she spells it) and a new friend Lauren. All in all both guys reminded me of Keane. Im thinking its because of the keyboard but who am i to judge music. I feel that a music critic is such a hard and unnecessary job. Really im going to listen to what i like and if someone doesnt like it, well then SOD OFF. Now movies thats another thing we need movie critics. Im kidding im not as hard on movie critics seeing how ive lived my life infront of a theater screen. Back in high school i was such a closed off kid that i wouldnt party or go do what regular kid should do (sex, drugs and rock & roll) no i was at home watching Amelie. Which brings me to my next point of the blog (i only have three tonight). I'm finally reunited with AMELIE. For those of you who dont know what im talking about, Amelie is a french movie that was just ter magnific. I would have to say that it is in my top 10, and thats saying alot for me. Anyway if you havent ever heard of this movie, then dont deprive yourself of a well made movie.

"Amelie grows up lonely and alone, a waitress in a corner bistro, until one day the death of Princess Diana changes everything. Yes, the shock of the news causes Amelie to drop a bottle cap, which jars loose a stone in the wall of her flat, which leads her to discover a rusty old box in which a long-ago boy hoarded his treasures. And in tracking down the man who was that boy, and returning his box, Amelie finds her life's work: She will make people happy. But not in any old way. So, she will amuse herself (and us) by devising the most extraordinary stratagems for bringing about their happiness." Roger Ebert

All in all a great movie. Ok so about the reuniting, a while back i was going out with this one girl and i was so in love. I thought she was the one, as you can tell by the past tense it didnt work out. So while we were still going out i ended up giveing her my only copy of Amelie and wnd then i never got it back. So here's my pearl of wisdom: Guys if you love a girl dont give her anything that you really love. Get her new stuff, your old diry stuff is better left in you room. Well since were on the topic of movie, and will prob end up on the topic of movies almost every suday, I want to bring to light the title of this blog and why its called the way it is. The Blue Cup is a made up movie making company made up of myself and my best freind Chris made up. mind you it wa one of many companies, but this one three word phrase was for a artsy fartsy movies. We were getting tired of movies that had something to say. A running joke we use to say was that "This blus cup means the trouble and pain the people felt post WW1" And I tried my hand at writing a film that could convey a meaning through simple objects. Its hard. It really is hard. But i still think its silly. Why cant you just say what you mean and mean what you say. Im still in the later camp of thought. Im not the kind of person whos enlightened all the time. So ill stick to what i know and that is when a blue cup is a blue cup on the table, then ill use it to have a glass of water. Well i guess this is it for tonight Im glad you are here following my inaugural start. Im pretty sure ill have my friends read this which they have to or ill pound um, but to all you who just happen to be stopin by, well your more then welcome to stop by again.
