who knows. I still have credits and formatting and titles to do. blegh

but it feels pretty good to have the whole thing coming together. Screening them is going to be so nerve-racking

I have so many pictures from the shoots! Here are a few! w00t! I'm high on not sleeping for more than 8 hours in the past three days!


DPing for Will's movie "A Little Slice of Heaven"

word





eventually I will put all of my projects from the film school up here or youtube or something

I've been attacked by angry spiders! or something.
whatever it is, it won't let me be.
it's been what, two weeks? yeah. two motherfucking weeks.

I hate the campus clinic and the crabby bitches that work there.

I call reasonable circumstances to yell "FUCK THAT SHIT."

so, fuck that shit.


I can't wait to get a break from school and people and myself. I just wanna wake up and have nothing to do all day.

I can feel my heartbeat in my ankle. does throbbing pain usually keep pace with the heart?






nap time before four hours of filming and then an all-nighter in the editing room. w00t

that subject line was just to upset a few people I love and a bunch of people I hate. but no one's gonna pay attention to it anyway, so it's okay that I think it's true

Film School is Awesome!

I believe I have been paired up with the coolest kids I could get stuck with for an entire year.
My BFA Production Group:
Courtney: from Pensacola, really cool, weird in the best ways, very smart

Donald: from Cape Coral (I think), reminds me of River Phoenix, very confident, very talented

Will: from somewhere in Kentucky, I think he wishes he was a pirate, but he's very laid-back and fun to hangout with

Bret: is my favorite, he's very smart and very funny, but I don't have a picture of him...and I can't remember where he's from

All of the other BFA first years (outside of my production group) are very interesting and cool people. I'm glad I have such crazy luck, I don't know what the the hell I would be doing if I wasn't in the Film School.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my first few shorts on the internet, so far no luck.

(Taken from Lene'io, somewhat altered)
Finish the sentences:

1. I've come to realize that : I think too much when I should react quickly and react too quickly when I should think about it a lot more. it happens not a lot, but enough to make me realize it

2. I am listening to : a lot of things that I love, but seem obscure every time I drive people around and make them listen to it (Dr. Dog, Caribou, Tapes 'N Tapes, so on and so forth)

3. I talk : nonsenical and irrevelant things and then wonder why I have to be the only one who doesn't agree that they are irrelevant and nonsensical

4. I love : eating food that I have to prepare, cook, saute, bake, stir, mmmhm

5. I have: not enough hours in the day to do the things I need and want to do

6. I can: be totally happy, but that would be boring. actually I don't think being totally happy is allowed, things have to go awry or not you're not really living

7. I lost : my flimsy self-confidence and have replaced it with something a bit tougher

8. I hate it when : I get a charlie horse in the middle of the night and while trying to nurse that leg, the other leg cramps

9. Love is : (brace yourself for some Common, word)
Yeah, yeah
How beautiful love can be
On the streets love is hard to see
It's a place I got to be
Loving you is loving me
How beautiful love can be
On the streets love is hard to see
Gotta reach that frequency
Loving you is loving me

Yeah, you know what love is
Even found it on the ground where the thugs live
My man had to dig deep to find his
Couldn't sleep 'cause on the real he had five kids
Live nig's, real niggaz express and taste it
At crap games, black dames and big faces
Cases in court, fam' showin' love and support
You and your baby's mom thought that love was a sport
As men we were taught to hold it in
That's why we don't know how 'til we're older men
If love is a place I'ma go again
At least now, now I know to go within
At time it can take ya for a spin
Heartbreak hotel then you're home again
I've seen love make a nigga soul pretend
Like a story that he don't want to end
Yo
It's all love where we come from
In the hood love we was told to run from
That same hood where the guns sung
We holla love, hopin' it would come on
Crack got so many lives undone
From lack of love many hide some run
I knew this girl with a son who dreamt of actin' in plays
Demonstration with her man had her trapped in a maze
Tryin' to find herself again, much of that she'd have gave
Love can free us, to it some of us react as a slave
Funny, we love 'em more when they're relaxed in a grave
Wonder if a thug is raw, is he actin' afraid?
Everybody loves sun, why do I attract shade?
Heard of the love of money, but compassion it pays
Talk about it with my youth so she'd understand
What it is to be loved by a man
Uh
Some say that I'm a dreamer 'cause I talk about it often
Seen the hardest nigga soften wit' his homie in a coffin
We walk and stand in, fall in it
With the right companion we all in it
Mary sang a song about it, having broad limits
In the game of life, it's the scrimage
Reminiscing on letters I wrote in my small days
A letter to the people, love always
Yeah
How beautiful love can be
On the streets love is hard to see
It's a place I got to be
Loving you is loving me
How beautiful love can be
On the streets love is hard to see
Gotta reach that frequency
Loving you is loving me
