Grand Theft Travel Writer

grand.jpg
Blogging's been great, but I think if I really want to bring in the BIG bucks I need to come out with a video game. Something along the lines of Grand Theft Auto.

Grand Theft Travel Writer will feature a travel writer, Swicko Peregrino, who arrives in a country hoping to learn its innermost secrets. The streets are steamy, the sights exotic (think Leonardo DiCaprio at the beginning of The Beach), the locals laconic.

Suddenly, gunshots rip through the humid air. Cars swerve up onto the sidewalk, sending pedestrians fleeing. A man who bears a striking resemblance to Christopher Walken lunges at Swicko's shoulder, grabbing his bookbag - which contains his notebook with all of his contacts - and flees down teeming alleyways.

Swicko chases after him, running into a voluptuous temptress ...

Sorry, but for more you'll have to wait till I sign with Rockstar Games.

Yeah, you should definitely come out with a video game. You can still be Swicko Peregrino, or maybe Dirk Swickler or something to that affect, so you sound more like a porn star. Christopher Walken won't do, because he's less of a villain now and more of a dude that looks like he has no idea where he is anymore(check SNL a couple of weeks back if you think I'm lying).

It's funny too, because I for some reason always thought of you as a guy that would be more into those really skinny all-limbs European chicks rather than a voluptuous lady! So to me, your lady friend would look more like Mischa Barton or Audrey Tautou than the lady pictured above (but only Audrey if you go all out with a weird overlong waxy looking coif, like Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code-you know he turned into synthetic material years ago, right? There's been articles on this). Kill a local tour guide for points, and cash them in for local diction.

Jason works in gaming, he can help you! hahahaha
