Scott Lawn Appreciation Day/Apocalypse Now/Hard Boiled

In just a few more days, it will have been 24 years that I have been alive. January 26th! A Saturday! I'm pretty excited, and thankful that I'm still alive, healthy, and ambitious to do many big things in my life. I have a feeling that 2008 will be THE YEAR of Scott Lawn, as well as the rest of the years after that. Seriously, it's a great year to be a Scott Lawn supporter! I'll be celebrating my Birthday on three days:

This Friday night will be a family thing, I'll be hitting up the Kowloon with them to dine with my parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law, and my two nephews. All while being in a restaurant filled with Chinese food, dim lights, and possibly some type of band playing music.

This Saturday night I'm getting trashed. Plain and simple.


On Sunday, I'm hoping to see the new Rambo film in theaters, and I also have to celebrate my nephews birthday since his is near mine. He's having a Pirate themed party for his 5th birthday, so I'm gonna give him his cake while dressed up as a Pirate, haha! I'll have pictures of that up at some point down the stretch.

While trying to figure out what to do with my life now that the Super Bowl is not for another two weeks, I found this video on youtube. A scene from one of the best war films ever made, Apocalypse Now. It's the scene where they fly in on Helicopters to attack a Vietnamese village while playing The Ride of the Valkyries through the speakers as they get there. After that, even when the area is still very hostile, the colonel just wants everyone to start surfing the waves in the ocean nearby. It's very bizarre. It also has one of the most famous quotes in all war movies, I love the smell of napalm in the morning! Watch the video, you might want to just skip to the 2:34 marker, as that is when it starts to get good. Be patient and watch!

I have to send the link directly rather than embed it on this blog... the asshole who posted the video disabled that feature!

And to end this blog entry, I have here a website that someone made: The Things I Learned From Watching Hard Boiled. It's pretty funny, seeing as though it's probably one of my favorite movies of all time.

Thanks for reading,

First Entry Ever!

Hi, I'm Scott Lawn.
This is my first entry on this my newest blog. In time, I hope that everyone will come to know this blog as THE OFFICIAL blog for Scott Lawn. I'll be making identical posts from here onto my Livejournal and Myspace blogs after this one gets the update (the links to those are on the right sidebar). There is a short-but-sweet description of what this blog will be about on the right sidebar, and I'll start this blog out by talking about myself a little bit.

About Me -
People would describe me as "a typical guy", but I think I go beyond that. I believe myself to be the manliest of all men. This is due to my interests. Yes, I have friends who may be into a few things that I am into, but could TOTALLY care less about anything else that I'm into. For example, a friend of mine that shares my interest of film making couldn't care less about football (which I love). I have all sorts of interests, and the people that surround me share only a few. What are these interests? Here, I'll tell ya...

• Film Making
  
• Movies (Watching them)
  
• Video Games (Especially online)
  
• Football (New England Patriots)
  
• Baseball (Boston Red Sox)
• Mixed Martial Arts
• Cooking (Yes, the way I do it is very manly)
• Music (Hardcore, Metal, some Rap, and some weird shit)
• Blogging (Hey now!)
• Partying
• Surfing (Just started, still learning)
• Anything to do with the beach
• Anything to do with hot chicks (That doesn't involve in me getting walked on because Scott Lawn don't love them hos)
  

Just the stuff that I can think of at the moment. You get the idea.

More about me; my dream is to be a film maker. Not really the rich & famous Hollywood type (even though I wouldn't mind that), but I'd be content having my films shown around the country, and hopefully one day the world. I'd be content with a cult-following, and would find myself extremely lucky if I can make-ends by using film making as a way to make a living. I want to write, produce, direct, edit, and act in all of my movies. The more control I can have over my own film, the better. I don't mind that it will take a lot more work, as long as it's my own, then I'm willing to put forward whatever is needed. Don't mistake me as a glory-hog though, I'm speaking about my own films. I wouldn't mind working on other films that are not my own, and would do my best not to take any control in that instance, ha!
Until then, I'm just working a slightly-above minimum wage job at a place that I don't like very much.

That's it for now, after this post I am going to post some more entries that I had already made on Livejournal, just to give this journal some substance. If you have read this far, thank you very much and I hope to think that you will read/see what I have to offer, as well as leave me a comment now and then.
