WatchI’ve been on a filmmaking/editing rampage this last week because I filled up my quota on Vimeo and had to wait till now to upload. So I have three videos I made this week that I just uploaded. This one is for Nathan.
WatchI miss Eddy, Peter, Eugene, Peter, and Gabe.
WatchHappy 25th Birthday John! I love you.
The end is so near.
So I finally got around to watching Once. It was really wonderful. At first I was distracted with the moving camera in and out of focus…etc. However the story and the songs won me over. The story ended as happy as it could have, but still felt really sad for some reason. It reminded me of a situation I was in at one point in my life. But there’s no need to go into detail with...
Random mail warms my heart.
I got the following in the mail over the last week and they have really warmed my heart… The most incredible book I’ve ever read/looked at about Polaroids by Tarkovsky…who I already adore so much. This was from Chad, I love him so much…there’s always a special place in my heart for him. This package of a beautiful assortment of goodies is from my best friend...
I really do love polaroids...
now if only they weren’t so expensive.
Speaking of underwear, John left me this message. ...
Juno.
I just saw Juno and it was quaint. I enjoyed it. I had forgotten what it was like to see a movie in a “mainstream” theater. That sounds so pretentious, but there is a different vibe and atmosphere watching films in colleges or independent cinemas. The mass general public laughs at the stupidest things. Or they don’t get the subtle humor that the director has carefully crafted...
*Here we go....
So I just printed up all my stuff to take to court tomorrow to start this whole process. I’m really scared about it, or well I guess exhausted at the idea of it. Do say a prayer for me or light a candle or something so that hopefully this will go smoothly and not interfere too much with my life. Thanks…much appreciated.

Merry Christmas indeed!
It is Christmas Day, and I am alone in my house eating a bowl of corn and mixed vegetables. For some reason, this feels great. I have my computer and music to keep me company. Merry Christmas indeed! I hope everyone’s having a great day with their families.
Beep beep boop boop
I feel like I’m 5 years old hiding out in my room feeling indifferent about Christmas Eve and Christmas because I can hear my dad yelling at God knows what. This is what it feels like to live in this household every holiday season. Yelling. And me in my room. My music is so loud it is competing with his yelling. My toys are shaking and falling off of my speakers. This is pleasant. ...
The Holiday Season.
Now that school is out, everyone is excited about the Holiday Season and Christmas. I, personally have no sentiments towards this time of the year. I see it as one giant masturbatory consumerism extravaganza to see who can buy who the best presents. I don’t say this because I’m bitter or because I don’t have any money to buy obligatory presents for everyone. The Holiday...

Editing Concepts is finished.
Yesterday was the last day of Editing Concepts. I am really going to miss the people in that class a lot. We became really close. I have a feeling I will be working with a lot of those people on film related endeavors in the future. I spent this morning making a video for my friend Iain. However, I’ve reached my quota on Vimeo so I have to wait until Sunday to upload it. Boo. ...
WatchThere are a couple things I need to fix up on this but I’ll have to wait till the weather gets better.
Missed connection.
Last night, in a drunken stupor, I called a friend from undergrad and told him that I had liked him my last semester of college but was too scared to tell him…well that and he had a long term girlfriend. Turns out he liked me too at the same time. Haha cool. Anyways…sums up the story of my love life.
I am a sad and tired person.
I hate editing. Editing hates me.
UGH!
Explosions in the Sky is playing at Calvin this April. UGH!!!!!! BLAH! Okay, they are playing in San Francisco in March….I WILL see them.
The Week is Over.
Thank God. I am exhausted. The past 3 weeks of constant everyday filmming have been so exhausting to me and have definitely made me postpone working on my own short. Now I’ll have time to work on it. Tonight we film the final scene and hopefully I can edit it into something incredible. It feels like my life is constantly going through changes. I guess that makes it exciting, but it is...

Much needed weekend.
So things are going really well. I am sitting in Travis and Joe’s apartment right now on the corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco and it is incredible. The view of the intersection and street is amazing. The shooting of the documentary has been going well. Travis and Joe have been incredible hosts and I love them so much. I am glad that I am friends with them. Travis is so...
