Woah! Dude!

Sorry. I just had to Ted there.

So my story has been rejected twice now largely because of its similarities to Men in Black.

Now, quite frankly, I'm cool with that. I only recently started working on fiction after many, many, many years of no fiction writing at all, and though I know I can write a good research paper, my fiction needs work.

What's so funny is that the two aspects that the editors are finding MIB-ish are things that are semi-autobiographical with creative twists.

The other funny thing is that I saw MIB once when it came out, a couple scenes here and there when it was on cable, and have avoided it since then. I never even went near the sequel.

Someday this should make a *really* good story :).

BTW, check out Steve Burns' CD "Music for Dustmites" and The Flaming Lips, whose song, "Do You Realize" is fab-u-lous!
