End of the Month Comments

Hi all. So it's the end of yet another month and I have some things to comment about considering I havent posted on here for a while.

- First off, I have officially decided to cancel my "Honoring the Authors" segment on my blog. I realize that you guys are very busy with school and among other things, which is why I didn't receive any nominations for August, so it's all good. I would like to apologize to Josh P for canceling the segment since he was the next baiter to be authored. Although the segment will not continue, your legacy to being a great and notable writer in the contest will continue Josh P, especially after your great month of August.

- We are shortly near this months competition being 10 days away, and quite honestly I'm a bit afraid. Two biopics have won back to back Best Picture in 2 months, which to say the least is why I'm quite hesitate to send in "The Good Guy" for October. Now, I know most of you, and myself, would say that it doesn't matter what genre it is but the quality of the bait. I can agree with this, but I guess you could call me a supersticious man. I know a few people have been looking forward to it, and it has been put back for a few months now, so I'm just going to let the chips fall where they may and send it in. I hope you all enjoy it.

- Next, as many of you know, the awards for September were announced a short time ago, I would like to congratulate all the winners and nominees this month, it was yet another good and developing month for the contest. The new writers are becoming monthly vets, new stories keep being told, and I would just like to say it's been an honor to associate myself with everyone in the contest and to compete as well. Speaking of the authors, I just wanted to give major "props" to the baiters that give more to the contest then their own baits. I'm talking ceremonies, award shows, blog segments, golden globes, the festival, the sag awards, everything. Your creativity and dedication to the contest is a big part of what makes this internet activity what it is, and that is the best activity on the internet that I've ever been apart of. Great job guys.

- And finally, Hugh Jackman is one of those actors that always puts my ass in a movie theater. The guy does nothing but entertain me. He's a fantastic actor and sincerely underused in the contest. The point of this paragraph is to simply ask this.....what the hell was up with Van Helsing? I remember seeing it in the theater and wanting to leave. Honestly the actors that play Frankenstein and Dracula could not overact any more, it really brings my blood to a boil. Now I'm watching it on TV as I type this blog and I'm trying to answer myself the same question I asked when I saw it in theaters. Shame on you Hugh.

Until next time baiters, also don't forget to tune into my October baits, "Tabula Rasa" and "The Good Guy".
