Success = Finished Goals

Damn you Milt and Edie for being so right. Why are you so cruel in your eight words? Because you probably know your audience. Struggling screenwriters pounding the pavement in Burbank sipping their coffee at Priscilla's wondering why no one will hire them and their half completed screenplays.

Who is the master sign maker behind the voice of Milt and Edie? Someone with a PhD in get your butt off the chair and finish that damn thing. Maybe it's a nagging mother. Or a stage momager.

That's what I picture now, a frustrated stage momager. Like one of those crazy ladies on "I Know My Kid's A Star". The signmaker at Milt and Edie's is actually making these signs for one person in particular that they are trying to motivate to finish a particular project.

Oh jesus, I got. It's actually an elaborate plan to motivate Axl Rose to finish Chinese Democracy. I think Geffen might be somewhere near Milt and Edie. What if they are hoping Axl sees the signs? Or maybe even he picks up his leather jackets at Milt and Edie's?

And did everyone hear about this? Dr. Pepper will offer a free can of Dr Pepper to everyone in America — excluding former Guns N' Roses guitarists Buckethead and Slash — if the band releases Chinese Democracy in 2008.

I hope I can get a can of the Diet Cherry Vanilla stuff. That stuff tastes like candy.
