I belong nowhere. I act like no one, but look like everyone. I’m the epitome of perfection, but I hate my reflection. Everyone I meet either likes me or hates me. I do everything seriously with inventive thought and concentration. My writing is beautiful. I have a constant need for attention and affirmation from every one, especially those close to me. My history is history, but every thing I’ve been through; I have come out on top. All bad situations I’ve been through, I have always gotten what I’ve wanted. Always finished what I’ve started I’m driven by confidence, but constantly self conscious. I’m aware of my surroundings – up, down and around me. I keep multiple journals and sketch books – but throw them away when finished. I can’t stop drawing; I am obsessed - with music, with art, with science, with math… I can play the Piano but can’t even read music. I can create beautiful and complex color schemes but I'm color blind. I’m the Devil. I’m a messenger of God. I’m narcissistic. My mind’s sadistic. My head full of mystic contradictions. I’m artistic. I’m self centered and selfish. I’m the greatest person to have ever lived. I hate myself. ---Sam

The Puppetteer I got an e-mail from my old friend Britt, it read: Dear Sam, remember our old neighbor Mrs.Tates? Well she died a couple of days ago, and they just found her will in her backyard. Anyway, turns out that she bought a huge house somewhere in Ohio. And she left it to us! So I thought maybe we can meet up and talk about plans. Please reply, -Britt McCullenI wrote her back, Dear Britt, Yeah I do remember her. It was so funny, it was like her cookies were infinite! Anyway, why would she give US the house if she had a son? Well, how about my apartment? You know the way right? -Samantha FosterBritt showed up about an hour later. We started talking about who's gonna get the house. We decided we would go see it together and then we'll see who gets it.A couple of days later we left for Ohio. We were about half way there and I was sleeping. It started raining and the sound of the rain on the windows woke me up. We were driving through a plain road, the sky was gray, and the road in front of us seemed endless...We were finally here, The house was HUGE! It was covered in ivy and brick. It looked amazing!It was pouring now, so we ran inside!We came in from the pouring rain and the house was so quiet. all you could hear was the rain on the roof and the windows. And as I stepped forward into the house one of the floor boards creaked under my feet and Britt screamed! I think she was just freaked out from how the house was decorated.I came in the music room and there were heavy drapes all over the room and a big piano. You could hear the rain drops hitting the windows all over the room. So when you played the piano the only other sound you could hear was the rain. It was amazing!I heard one of the floor boards creak behind me and assumed it was Britt. Then I heard her yawn and then lay down so I knew it was her. Then I stopped playing the piano and left the room so she can sleep. I wanted to look around the house some more.I went upstairs and found myself going through the first door I saw. It was dark and old with a very old painting of a ballerina on the wall. And there was a dresser in front of the bed. I looked inside and saw a very old dress. As I closed the door to the dresser something fell from the top of one of the doors. I didn't see it when I opened it. But it's on the floor now. I was looking on the side of the bed and it fell through one of the floor boards and I couldn't reach it. So I was going to leave the room and the bottom of my shoe slipped into a crack in the floor, and I tripped and fell on the bench that was in front of me, and one of the bench legs put a little hole in the floor. But if you move the bench a little bit then it's like it's invisible.I left the room and went down a long hallway. I saw a spiral staircase and went up them. The room on top had an eerie feel to it, but yet completely silent I walked through the archway into a library with a small bench like the one on the bedroom, and a desk with a chair by it. I walked up another set of stairs and found a door. As I walked out of it I could feel the hard rain water tapping on my head. I walked a little further and looked over the roof and saw a small garden full of flowers. I looked around some more and saw a little pond in it and a hammock in a corner. And when I realised that the garden was cut off by a bunch of hedges I knew that the only way in (and out) was the door. I went down to the backyard, went up to the garden's gate. It was covered in vines and weeds. I pushed on the door but it wouldn't budge. I tried again and again, But still th same result. After I had stopped trying I then realised that it had gotten darker and the rain has let up a little and my clothes were soaking!I came in from outside and I heard the piano (obviously assuming that Britt woke up) I walked in the music room and it was Max Tates. I had called him earlier telling him that we were gonna be here today and that he can stop byWhen I walked in I saw Britt sitting on a couch near the piano listening. He heard the floor creak and he looked behind him and saw me. He stood up and introduced himself (even though I alread knew who he was) and said he didn't want anything from the house and he lived a couple of blocks away incase we needed anything. Then he gave us the keys and left. As soon as I heard the door shut I remembered the garden. I practically chased him out the door and asked him about it. But he said that garden has been locked up for as long as he knew. Then he got in his car and left.We didn't want to call another taxi this late at night. So we were going to stay the night and then leave the next day to get our stuff so we can stay a little longer and see if we wanna keep the house.I woke up and realized that It was strange to see this house in sunlight. When we first got here everything was gray and now it's sunny. There were beams of light coming in my window that morning and I kept squinting. I looked out the window and blinked a fe

Because in the new one Sam say "Come here Gibson" so maybe his last name is Gibson and that is why they call him Gibby and his first name is something totally different his middle name is Cornelius.

BA to the B answerer who argues his case and gives me reasons! (sorry for the repetitions...system problems, ya know...)slew, you said: "The reason why healthcare is more expensive, is that there are more equiptment involved now to provide better care. Also Hospitals are limited to outsourcing their work. Cost of goods are held down by outsourcing, so peoples pay has not kept up with inflation and the cheap price of consumer goods mask it. ..." i wonder how many americans realize that x-rays (especially x-rays), CAT, PET, and MRI scans are often read online... by doctors in poverty ridden countries who issue reports online! american hospitals DO outsource radiology reporting!
why shouldn't obama-ites bail out the doctors who pay such high medical malpractice premiums rather than...?
My brother is wanting to invest in the stock market, but because he works full time, doesn't have the time to do it. He wants to open a Scottrade account and have me act as his broker. He would then pay me a commission based on how well the account does. How would the taxes work on this? Could he simply open up a savings account specifically to hold my commissions and I could draw from that every month? How would I report that to Uncle Sam?
What are the tax rules when investing for others/drawing commission?
I was thinking of some ways to earn some extra income while going to school full time. After thinking of my freshman year (and all the midnight runs to 7-eleven to grab snacks) I thought about selling snacks and drinks out of my room. So my questions are: Is it legal to buy food/drinks in bulk (lets say from Sam's Club) and then sell the stuff to kids in my dorm/at my college. If it is legal, what steps would I need to go through in order to do this. Would I need a permit/license to do this. Should I talk to or let the school know of my actions. Any other suggestions and or comments are greatly appreciated....

• Samuel Fuller (August 12, 1912 – October 30, 1997) was an American screenwriter and film director known for low-budget genre movies with controversial themes.
• He was born Samuel Michael Fuller in Worcester, Massachusetts, the son of Benjamin Rabinovitch, a Jewish immigrant from Russia, and Rebecca Baum, a Jewish immigrant from Poland. After immigrating to America, the family's surname was changed to "Fuller". At the age of 12, he began working in journalism as a newspaper copyboy. He became a crime reporter in New York City at age 17, working for the New York Evening Graphic. He broke the story of Jeanne Eagels' death. He wrote pulp novels and screenplays from the mid-1930s onwards. Fuller also became a screenplay ghostwriter but would never tell interviewers which screenplays that he ghost-wrote explaining "that's what a ghost writer is for".
• During World War II, Fuller joined the United States Army infantry. He was assigned to the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, and saw heavy fighting. He was involved in landings in Africa, Sicily, and Normandy and also saw action in Belgium and Czechoslovakia. In 1945 he was present at the liberation of the German concentration camp at Falkenau and shot 16 mm footage which was used later in the documenatary Falkenau: The Impossible. For his service, he was awarded the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and the Purple Heart. Fuller used his wartime experiences as material in his films, especially in The Big Red One (1980), a nickname of the 1st Infantry Division.
• After his controversial film White Dog was shelved by Paramount pictures, Fuller moved to France, and never directed another American film. Fuller eventually returned to America. He died of natural causes in his California home. In November 1997, the Directors Guild held a three hour memorial in his honor, hosted by Curtis Hanson, his long time friend and co-writer on White Dog. He was survived by his wife Christa and daughter Samantha.
• Hats Off (1936) marked Fuller's first credit as a screenwriter. Fuller wrote many screenplays throughout his career, but he is best remembered as a director. He was unimpressed with Douglas Sirk's direction of his Shockproof screenplay , and he accomplished the move to direction after being asked to write three films by Robert Lippert. Fuller agreed to write them if he would be allowed to direct them as well, with no extra fee for direction, to which Lippert agreed. Fuller's first film under this arrangement was I Shot Jesse James (1949) followed by Baron of Arizona with Vincent Price.
• Fuller's third film, The Steel Helmet, established him as a major force. One of the first films about the Korean War, he wrote it based on tales from returning Korean veterans and his own World War II experiences. The film was attacked by the Communist Party in the USA for being too "right wing" and by the American Legion for being "left wing". Fuller had a major argument with the US Army that provided stock footage for the film. When army officials objected to his American characters executing a prisoner of war, Fuller replied he had seen it done during his own military duty. A compromise was reached when the Lieutenant threatens the Sergeant with a court martial.
• Fuller was sought by the major studios to join them. He asked each of them what they did with the profits from their films. All of them gave advice on tax shelters, except for Darryl F. Zanuck of 20th Century Fox, who replied "we make better movies", the answer Fuller was seeking. Zanuck signed Fuller for a contract for seven films, the first being another Korean War film, Fixed Bayonets!, in order to head off other studio competition copying The Steel Helmet. The US Army assigned Medal of Honor recipient Raymond Harvey as Fuller's technical advisor.
• The proposed seventh film Tigrero, based on a book by Sasha Siemel, is the subject of 1994 a documentary by Mika Kaurismäki, Tigrero: A Film That Was Never Made, that featured Fuller and Jim Jarmusch visiting the proposed Amazon locations of the film. Film Fuller shot on that location at the time was featured in his Shock Corridor.
• Fuller's favourite film was Park Row, a story of American journalism. Zanuck had wanted to adapt it into a musical but Fuller refused. Instead he started his own production company with his profits to make the film on his own. Park Row was a labor of love and served as a tribute to the journalists he knew as a newsboy. His flourishes of style on a very low budget led many critics to call the film Fuller's version of Citizen Kane.
• Fuller followed this with Pickup on South Street (1953), a film noir starring Richard Widmark, which became one of his most well-known films. Other films Fuller directed in the 1950s include House of Bamboo, Forty Guns, and China Gate, which led to protests from the French government and a friendship with Romain Gary. After leaving Fox, Fuller made Run of the Arrow, Verboten!, and Merrill's Marauders. In 1959 he wrote and directed the The Crimson Kimono.
• Fuller's films throughout the 1950s and early 1960s generally were lower-budget genre movies that explored controversial subjects. Shock Corridor (1963) is set in a psychiatric hospital, while The Naked Kiss (1964) features a prostitute attempting to change her life by working in a pediatric ward.
• Between 1967 and 1980, Fuller directed only two films, the Mexican-produced Shark (1969) and Dead Pigeon on Beethoven Street (1972), which featured his wife Christa Lang. Fuller asked the Director's Guild to remove his name from the credits of Shark. He returned in 1980 with The Big Red One, which won critical praise but failed at the box office.
• In 1981, he was selected to direct the film White Dog, based on a novel by Romain Gary. The controversial film depicts the struggle of a black dog trainer trying to deprogram a "white dog," a stray that was programmed to viciously attack any black person. He readily agreed to work on the film, having focused much of his career on racial issues. Already familiar with the novel and with the concept of "white dogs," he was tasked with "reconceptualizing" the film to have the conflict depicted in the book occur within the dog rather than the people. He used the film as a platform to deliver an anti-racial message through the films examination of the question of whether racism is a treatable problem or an incurable disease.
• During filming, Paramount Pictures grew increasingly concerned that the film would offend African-American viewers and brought in two consults to review the work and offer their approval on the way black characters were depicted. One felt the film had no racist connotations, while the other, Willis Edwards, vice president of the Hollywood NAACP chapter, felt the film was inflammatory and should never have been made. The two men provided a write-up of their views for the studio executives, which were passed to producer Jon Davison along with warnings that the studio was afraid the film would be boycotted. Fuller was not told of these discussions nor given the notes until two weeks before filming was slated to conclude. Known for being a staunch integrationist and for his regularly giving black actors non-stereotypical roles, Fuller was furious, finding studio's actions insulting. He reportedly had both representatives banned from the set afterwards, though he did integrate some of the suggested changes into the film. After the film's completion, Paramount refused to release it, declaring that it didn't have enough earnings potential to go against the threatened NAACP boycotts and possible bad publicity.
• After Fuller's move to France, he never directed another American film. He directed two theatrical French Films, Les Voleurs de la nuit in 1984 and Street of No Return in 1989. He directed his last film, Madonne et le dragon, in 1990, and he wrote his last screenplay, Girls in Prison, in 1994.
• Fuller made a cameo appearance in Jean-Luc Godard's Pierrot le fou (1965), where he famously intones: Film is like a battleground... Love, hate, action, violence, death. In one word, emotion! He plays a film director in Dennis Hopper's ill-fated The Last Movie (1971) ; an Army colonel in Steven Spielberg's 1941 (1979); a war correspondent in his own The Big Red One (scene deleted in the original release, restored in the reconstructed version); and a cameraman in Wim Wenders' The State of Things (1982). He portrays an American gangster in two films set in Germany: The American Friend by Wenders and Helsinki Napoli All Night Long by Mika Kaurismäki. He also appeared in Larry Cohen's A Return to Salem's Lot (1987). His last work in film was as an actor in The End of Violence (1997).
• Fuller's work is generally included in the primitive style. It has been noted it is based in the narrative tabloid style of filmmaking. This was the result of his often lower budgets, but also reflected Fuller's pulp-inspired writing. The dialogue in his films has been criticized by some as heavy-handed or over-the-top.
• Fuller often featured marginalized characters in his films. The protagonist of Pickup on South Street is a pickpocket who keeps his beer in the East River instead of a refrigerator. Shock Corridor concerns the patients of a mental hospital. Underworld U.S.A. (1961) focuses on an orphaned victim of mobsters. The leading ladies of Pickup on South Street, China Gate, and The Naked Kiss are prostitutes. These characters sometimes find retribution for the injustices against them. White Dog and The Crimson Kimono (1959) have definite anti-racist elements. The Steel Helmet, set during the Korean War, contains dialogue about the internment of Japanese-Americans and the segregation of the American military in World War II, and features a racially mixed cast.
• Although Fuller's films were not considered great cinema in their times, they gained critical respect in the late 1960s. Fuller welcomed the new-found esteem, appearing in films of other directors and associating himself with younger filmmakers.
• The French New Wave claimed Fuller as a major stylistic influence. His visual style and rhythm were seen as distinctly American, and praised for their energetic simplicity. Martin Scorsese praised Fuller's ability to capture action through camera movement. Recently, Quentin Tarantino and Jim Jarmusch credited Fuller as influential upon their works.
• In the mid-1980s, Fuller was the first international director guest at the Midnight Sun Film Festival. The festival's hometown, Sodankylä, Finland, named a street "Samuel Fullerin katu", Samuel Fuller's street.
