As you may have noticed, the page has a had a radical overhaul in the last few days. Gone is the theme of old, the header image my old roommate worked over, and a lot of unnecessary things. If you are anything like me, you might freak out over the majorist of minor cosmetic changes. I kid you not, I went on a extremely long rant about the Tropicana change from above. Unlike Tropicana, I will not waver and resort to the old, because in are a few new things, chief of which is lovely drop down menus. You now have every one of the 100 days at your finger tips, and a quick, easy way to get to any article on this page that I have done. The second addition is updated/edited (mostly typo free) versions of every single one of the 100 Days. So, I invite you to reread them, sit back, and enjoy the new site and new content headed your way.

With Michelle, I told her I loved her, and I meant it. I told Kate I loved her on the second date, and I meant it.  With the last ex I told her I loved her, but I didn’t mean it.

Funny enough, I thought I heard her say those three words on our third date. Of course this was when sexual activities were going on, and I might have imagined it. But I thought I heard it, and it was enough to cause me to snap out of the mood. I almost ended things then and there in a moment of panic, but I pressed on.

I don’t really remember the specfics of the first real time we exchanged L words. I will say this: for the first time in my life, I wasn’t the first one to say it. I heard it, and I shot it back.  A kneejerk reaction and an out of body experience.  And the ex was great. She was pretty, smart, hilarioius, and knew the way to Mordor. I had no reason not to love this girl, but I didn’t.

I had no reason not to love this girl, but I didn’t.

The second time I told a girl that I loved her, I meant it in all kinds of the detrimental ways.

After a week of binging on talking until two and missing each other after our first date, I purged her from my life for another week. This was because it scared the hell out of me how much I liked this girl, and how from that first interchange of saliva, and awkward hello, I knew it was over. I even said so after our first kiss. After an hour of hand holding and walking around a snowy Midtown, we decided to go to the movies. We stopped in the corner of the lobby and that first kiss just kind of happened. All I said was a simple three words.

I’m in trouble.

But I  tried my best for a week to really try and not let her ruin me. I couldn’t fight it and after two weeks we had our second officially official date, and she spent the weekend visiting me at school.

We were cuddling on my couch watching Seinfeld and we shared a look. We both just knew what the other was thinking. We couldn’t contain it from our voices, let alone our faces.  Because in that first month together there was their weird psychic bond between us. In three years, that bond would be of an unspoken despising of one another, but in that moment we knew that we loved one another.

I’m not gonna say it.

This was all I had to say to her to confide in her what I wanted to say but wouldn’t. And I didn’t. Because you don’t fall in love with a girl on the second date, after of barely a month together, and you certainly don’t tell her about it. I held my ground for a solid forty minutes.

Screw it. I love you.

I love you too.

10 Years BP: The First Four Letters

When I first said the word love to Michelle, I meant it in a friendly way. It was in a phone conversation and it just slipped out. She said it back. And then over the course of weeks we stopped meaning it in a friendly way. We meant it in the way where it transitioned into that kind of love you thought Romeo & Juliet had. Of course, I mean that instant intense infatuation that only teenagers stumbling with feelings could possibly mean it. That one day we just stopped being friends. I don’t know how it happened but our friendship died, and I was magically in love with her.

The first time I said it in the deeper way, the words just bubbled out and I couldn’t stop them. And my God, did I mean those words. I was eighteen and was convinced she was the soul mate, and the storybook princess.  She reciprocated and we kissed, and it just knocked me flat on my ass. And then we just held on to one another never wanting to let go.

Here are yet even more, 100% factual  emails  I have received over the course of the 100 days.  Read the rest of this entry »

Long before I embarked on telling the tale of a hundred dates of Dillinger, Dillinger was a character in something else. And I liked the name so I transposed it onto something else.  Here is a twenty page sample from that screenplay. It’s called The Girl In Between, and if you try and steal it, it’s WGA registered.

So I’m still in flux with a few production companies in regards to putting my fair Dillinger on the big screen, and let’s face it I’m a guy with a website, a following, and wide-eyed idealistic casting ambitions. And to me nobody = Travis Dillinger more than Joseph Gordon Levitt.

So heres my goal people: Let’s use the power of the internet to help JGL’s career, as well as my life’s ambition. Facebook this, tweet this, retweet it, message him at @hitrecordjoe tell your mother, your mailman, your editor, your sister, your puppy. Let’s do whatever it takes to get JGL to at least acknowledge and take a gander into the world of Dillinger. And if he wants to bring Zooey along for the ride, all the better.
