Day -1

It's quite sad as I sit here looking at my apartment as I am about to leave for what I hope will be my future career. I'm leaving for Philadelphia and will be there until around Christmas of 2011 or maybe even longer since our intended release date is 12/25/11 for SFC. But intended release dates sometimes don't happen.

I remember the first day I moved in here, I was with the women I loved and my Father had actually left a town he rarely leaves to help us move in. At the time I was working as a manager for a company I cannot mention since they forced me to sign a confidentiality agreement... so I will refer to it as Pizza Hut just to be safe. Pizza Hut was ok in the beginning, but then the years of working food service management began to eat away at my soul. For a billion dollar company, they don't pay their employees SHIT! I worked for a four store franchise for Buffalo Wild Wings and I made $12.50 an hour as a SHIFT MANAGER! Pizza Hut only starts around $9.50 for shift managers. The last position I held was "Assistant General Manager" which I was promised a salary of $32,500 and ended up getting $28,500 and also they neglected to tell me I was going to get blamed for shit that occurred at that location before I ever worked there! Every day I would show, I would get blamed and screamed at for something new. My General Manager used to also use me as a scapegoat to the big boss just to take attention off him. So this, in turn, got me a "Performance Improvement Plan" for absolutely no reason.

Needless to say, it was time for a change. So I confided in a few friends and they all mutually agreed that working for Pizza Hut was bad for my mental health. That was when I called my friend Stamper and told him my situation and he had me call Mr. Fulp and inform him of my situation. Coincidentally, Fulp had desired to make a feature length animated film for a long time but only wanted to act as Producer. We talked for a long time about it, and I think he is still unsure of my talents. He enjoyed the SFC script and Stamper of course put in his good word for me so he agreed to let me do this project. Immediately, he put me on the NG payroll so I would have a source of income, but this came with a stipulation... I had to WORK on the PROJECT. Which meant he wanted numerous drafts, me seeking out someone to do the musical score, and find and locate an artist (since, at the time Stamper wanted to no part of the project... but I'll get into that later). So as long as I turned in new drafts, wrote complex character biographies, proved that I talked to people, I would get a more than generous weekly allowance.

So That's what I pretty much did from the end of July until today (technically last week). As I type this, I am about to head out to the airport and hopefully begin what will hopefully be a rather entertaining animated film. Sorry that this post was boring, I had a time constraint and I promised someone I would do this blog. Thanks for reading.
