plane rides, camera's & some things I love

Hello! So today I started my directing class and after about an hour and a half of having everyone (83 students) introduce themselves we were all let out. Before getting released she handed out our schedules at which point I was ecstatic to find out that I'm done with class at 1 next friday. Of course, I quickly hopped online and changed my flight so now I'll be getting in a day earlier then originally planned :) Needless to say I think I'm going to like this class. In the time that I did spend in class pretending to listen to where everyone came from and why they got into film (which is becoming such an annoying question) I also started doing some research on the Nikon D90; it is now my new obsession.  Here's a couple of ads I liked...

                     

So with this new obsession to explore I decided to bring up one of my old accounts on an imagine hosting site; probably the best thing I could have done. I found some great photos that I haven't looked at in a while.

 

This is Ziggy, he was one of the puppies my older dog Diamond had. He was sold into prostitution against my will, thanks mom.

This is one of my best friends, Lellean, she's beautiful inside and out and I don't know if I could be where I am today without her. She's crazy, spontaneous, caring and truly blunt (pun intended) A long time ago I think we both realized that the world just wouldn't be as fun without the both of us in it. Anyway, I really miss her and can't wait to go back home and enjoy life.

As far as the rest of my day goes I think I'll start working on my story pitch for tomorrow's Digital Cinematography class. I have no ideas as of now, but I think I'm going to try and write a comedy piece. Once I get done with that I'm thinking about working out for an hour or so. Then I suppose I'll finish off the night with some friends and some greens.

Peace & Love.

weird week

this week everything felt really off. I'm not sure what it is really but I feel like it's going away. Besides that I really can not wait until I get to fly back to Mass. This Tuesday is when I'll finally have my full schedule for these next two months so I'm pretty much just waiting around for that. Until then catch me keeping it real,

Peace & Love.

interesting pictures

so, I recently discovered there was a rumor going around that some risque pictures of me were circling the inter web... for clarification there are no half-naked pictures of me in existence; therefore, the photograph is simply someone who resembles me I suppose. I'm not mad at all, just a bit disappointed that my guys couldn't bring it to me. It's cool though it added a bit of humor to my night. Next time someone isn't sure about such matters, please just ask.

Peace & Love.

surprise, surprise

After a long week, me and a few friends decided to hit up independent bar last saturday over in downtown Orlando. To my surprise the bar was mostly marketed toward the gay community. Not that I'm against being gay in any way, but seeing my math teacher Stacy there making out with a girl wasn't anything I was expecting. Needless to say it was quite an eventful night that ended with some ganja and chocolate cake :) If anyone knows of any clubs in the Orlando area that play some sweet 80's jams and/or some new wave shit you can dance to let me know. As for this week, it should be another Full Sail jammed schedule, yay.  I've also decided not to smoke all week; so far so good but talk to me on Saturday.

Peace & Love.

no sleep

So the next 24 hours are going to consist of little to no sleep and all film. After this storytelling class ends at 5 I'm going to try and get some sleep, then wake up at 11 maybe sneak in a quick smoke sesh then off to the 35mm shoot. That should run from 12am until 8:30 and then i'll be off to class at 9 until 1 then finally back to bed. I know what you're thinking, crazy right? Hopefully I'll learn something and pick up a few contacts, all in all it should be a good experience.

Peace & Love.

making sense

I recently made the decision to no longer follow the beliefs of Catholicism. Why you ask? Well, growing up Catholic was fine and all, it gave me some morals to live by and something to believe in, but now I can't find truth in it. In no way do I regret being Catholic and in no way do I resent my parents for raising me Catholic; I merely  just want to seek out something that makes more sense to me.  I still believe in an ultimate creator and I believe that after death something happens, whether it be reincarnation or going to a heavenly place I'm not sure. I've been looking into Taoism and next I plan on looking into Buddhism. The ultimate goal for me is to find something that I truly believe in so any advice or encouragement will be taken in with open arms. Thanks again for reading, as always,

Peace & Love.

lua

I can't sleep. I just had a thought about relationships. Whenever you meet someone new your like wow this person is really great and then you start dating. Then, even though you both are crazy about each other, somehow things get bad and then that's it someone gives up. So question, if you can pin point the moment right before it went bad and get back to that couldn't you just fix it? On the other hand, couldn't you see that before it happens in a new relationship and just fix it so nothing ever goes bad. Is mankind turning into a species that is so distracted by technology and being pleased that we forget how to fight for something we love? We let "work" come first or whatever pathetic excuse it is we come up with. I just don't get it, why hasn't anyone figured this problem out yet, do I have to do everything around here haha. I don't know maybe it's the reefer check ya later.

Peace & Love

one more month

Finally, we're in a new month. Glad to be out of Lighting and even more glad to be out of Public Speaking! Now we're on to Sound for Film and my personal favorite, Story Telling! WOOT WOOT!!! I'm excited for these next couple of months hopefully the other half of the September film students will stay with us :) I miss having class with my roommate, Brooke. Looking forward to learning some really cool stuff with some really cool people. Soon we'll be in April and I'll be heading back to Massachusetts for my birthday; I can't wait to see my family & friends. By then I should actually have a new cousin, baby Zoey! March needs to go by fast, well, maybe not too fast. 

Peace & Love.
