refreshed

Its been a while since I've really written an actual blog post about anything relevant. I took a little vacation. I didn't go anywhere, I just took a break from all the filmwork I've had on my plate. My vacation ended with a trip to southern California to film some bands. Not bad for my first gig back. Lots of music, good friends, and the lack of sleep rounded out the trip. I did a little personal reflection and I thought about the paths I wanted to take in my career. And after a week's worth of playing Call of Duty: Black Ops, I came to discover that I really don't want to do that much narrative film anymore. I'm talking about short films, sketches, and documentaries. I just don't have fun doing them anymore. I've never made a successful or popular sketch. And I'm starting to loathe actors. And not the real actors like the nice people I met while on TTBC. I'm talking about the no name, nothing, community theater, egotistic, non appreciative actors. Those people. I pretty much figured out that the most success and fun I've had involves music. I've played music for damn near a decade and theres something about the chillness of a musicians personality that I'd choose over any actor any day. They're just better people I think. So in conclusion, and ever so definitively in the matter... I just wanna do music videos.

I went to the beach with my very lovely girlfriend and we sat on the beach, ran from the waves and fought off the seagulls. It was just what I needed. My sister said that me going to the beach was of of character. I'm fine with that.

I finally went to Sacs Hotdogs on Springs road in Vallejo. The line was out the door and apparently that place has been there forever. I took a girl from Vacaville to take me to a classic hometown staple.
