Damn Idea....

Anyone who has lived a life knows what an adveture it can be, face everyone has problems, granted some people more than others, but everyone at some point in their lives has come across troubled water. hell even rich people have problems, like which half a million dollar car they should buy next, but seriously i'm talking about real problems faced by people like you and i. Some people can fake throug it, falsifying their reality to make it through each day, ehich is basically like what i've done. i've tricked myself into thinkng that everything is alright at the current moment, when, only the opposite is true. I know that's not healthy, and it will make my reality only harder, but maybe that's the idea, whatever gets you through it all. some hide behind flimsy beliefs, like everything will sort itself out, others seek religion, whatever gets them through it. So while faking my present state, zach is going through yet another tumultuous turn in his life, and i have been reading on his blog, as you should be right now. So he IM's me today and we begin to talk about how much life sucks, when almost immediatly he mentions the idea, and i whole heartedly back him on this idea. now let me explain what is going on....zach and i have always had this idea to write a book, mainly on political structrings, organizations, philosophies, etc etc. Then last year zach started with his crazy ideas to travel around, becoming this sort of drifter, moving to canada and other things. So i ran with this idea, coupled it with an idea that was running in my head, and then the "idea" was born. What it is exactly is just this; we would travel across the country documenting our interactions with people from all over. we would find out basically what makes them them, their beliefs, ideas, values, morals, everything. and of course we would be writing in journals, videotapping, recording all that happened. it would be the sociological study of the century, maybe even never ending. we would be able to write a book, and of course i'd foresee a movie deal out of it. it's original as all hell, don't you think so. all i would want is some financial backing on this, maybe a publisher, producer, unniversity, anything really, we're non profit.

zachjb42 (3:28:06 PM): I know.
zachjb42 (3:28:12 PM): We should really start writing our book.
zachjb42 (3:28:17 PM): Just our observations about things.
Blue35Tuesday (3:28:28 PM): ha, that'd be bad ass
zachjb42 (3:28:34 PM): Yeah.
zachjb42 (3:28:43 PM): We could publish it through one of those DIY publishing things.
Blue35Tuesday (3:28:46 PM): i'd love to be able to sit around and observe shit like that
zachjb42 (3:28:47 PM): It's realitivily cheap.
zachjb42 (3:28:54 PM): Plus we could sell it on Amazon.com
Blue35Tuesday (3:28:57 PM): if only we would have win the lotto
zachjb42 (3:28:58 PM): Yep.
zachjb42 (3:29:00 PM): And get paid.
zachjb42 (3:29:01 PM): I know.
zachjb42 (3:29:09 PM): I would love to travel the country and just chat with people...
Blue35Tuesday (3:29:20 PM): hell yes
zachjb42 (3:29:36 PM): Yeah.
zachjb42 (3:29:40 PM): That would be awesome.
zachjb42 (3:29:52 PM): I was looking into starting a non-profit organization.
zachjb42 (3:29:58 PM): Getting some grants and the like.
zachjb42 (3:30:04 PM): I would love to just research things.
zachjb42 (3:30:10 PM): Write papers or discuss my findings.
zachjb42 (3:30:15 PM): Just how felt about certain things and why.
Blue35Tuesday (3:31:10 PM): yeah, i wonder if we could pitch the idea to a company
Blue35Tuesday (3:31:18 PM): both a book company and movie
zachjb42 (3:31:22 PM): Yeah.
zachjb42 (3:31:27 PM): I wonder...
zachjb42 (3:31:31 PM): That would be pretty cool...
Blue35Tuesday (3:31:32 PM): they could make a movie out of it, and they would pay us a bit to do i
zachjb42 (3:31:48 PM): Yeah.
zachjb42 (3:31:51 PM): That would be awesome.
Blue35Tuesday (3:32:58 PM): i wonder...
Blue35Tuesday (3:33:06 PM): i would totally be up for it if we had the backing
Blue35Tuesday (3:33:18 PM): i mean, what do we have to loose, really
zachjb42 (3:38:03 PM): Yeah.
zachjb42 (3:38:04 PM): I know.
zachjb42 (3:38:06 PM): Nothing.
Blue35Tuesday (3:43:37 PM): so do you think it is possible to pitch this idea to someone?
zachjb42 (3:44:12 PM): It might...
zachjb42 (3:44:18 PM): We could investigate it.
Blue35Tuesday (3:44:25 PM): i think it is worth it
Blue35Tuesday (3:44:29 PM): the time has come
Blue35Tuesday (3:44:40 PM): this is our opportunity
zachjb42 (3:44:50 PM): Perhaps...
zachjb42 (3:44:54 PM): Let's investigate it.
Blue35Tuesday (3:45:05 PM): doors don't close without windows opening, otherwise the presure in the hosue would be too great
Blue35Tuesday (3:46:15 PM): you see what io'm saying is, our lvies suck, doors have closed repeatedly on us, and unless you don't take this chance, what may be our window, we will end
zachjb42 (3:47:02 PM): True.
zachjb42 (3:47:33 PM): Let's go for it...
Blue35Tuesday (3:47:47 PM): :-D
Blue35Tuesday (3:50:50 PM): hell, we may even get some unniversity and their sociology department to back us
Blue35Tuesday (3:55:35 PM): sorry, my computer restarted
zachjb42 (3:56:25 PM): That's OK.
zachjb42 (3:58:28 PM): http://www.pitching.com/pitching_secrets.php
zachjb42 (3:58:50 PM): Perhaps he could teach us how to pitch...
zachjb42 (3:58:58 PM): LOL
Blue35Tuesday (3:59:05 PM): :-$
zachjb42 (3:59:23 PM): LOL
zachjb42 (3:59:29 PM): But seriously, here is a good place: http://www.ifebp.org/bookstore/pbinfobk.asp
Blue35Tuesday (3:59:44 PM): that was the only face i could think of appropriate
zachjb42 (3:59:56 PM): LOL
zachjb42 (4:00:26 PM): We need to find a publisher that publishes books like ours.
zachjb42 (4:00:33 PM): What are some books about traveling America...
Blue35Tuesday (4:01:05 PM): hmm, i'd say it's more a sociological type book as well
Blue35Tuesday (4:01:14 PM): i'm not into books so i have no idea
zachjb42 (4:01:24 PM): Neither do I.
zachjb42 (4:01:29 PM): I like books, just don't read'em.
Blue35Tuesday (4:01:50 PM): i think i will take a trip up to barnes and nobles in a bit
Blue35Tuesday (4:01:55 PM): maybe we should call G as well
zachjb42 (4:01:59 PM): http://www.blackwellpublishers.co.uk/asp/sociolog.asp
zachjb42 (4:02:05 PM): Yeah.
zachjb42 (4:02:10 PM): What's his phone number?
