and all we are are empty vesssels

searching for the things that make us who we are.
And all we are are empty vessels
we'll search far and wide before we fall apart.
And all we are are ancient beings.
leaving remnants of from our cause

I dont know about those lines.
Slowly but surely. I'm so bored at night. I've made all these songs, they're kinda funny to me now... I actually spent some time going back to the beginning of this blog and read some old posts. I think the beginning of this blog is amazing. I put a lot of thought in the early posts. I think when I started this thing I wanted to make something that people would return to, or actually care about my opinions on things..

Being called interesting is what I consider the greatest compliment anyone could ever give to someone. Cause the opposite of that is.. well.. who cares right?

I have Jury duty in themorning. I am so mad.

Saying a lot without saying much.

I love starting these random scripts. One of these days I'll make some of them.

I can't sing for the life of me.

But I try haha. So another sleepless night. I made it worth it though.
This song is called The Art of Ghosting.

make sure all of the doors are locked
make sure to stop allof the clocks
this poltergeist in my house will never leave

this ghost is my only real friend
its getting kinda hard not to pretend
shes starting to scare everyone away

I miss having people come over and stay
this ghost wont let anyone in the way
of me and her, she's a little too selfish

but its all my fault that she is here
she followed me home when she died last year
from the car crash that i saw across the street

i appreciate what shes done for me
but i think that its time for her to leave
but telling her to go away is dangerous

so now im hiding in my room
the walls are bleeding and i dont know what to do.
i should have nbever told her to get out of here

she bust through door to my surprise
she tore out my only good eye
she tore my arms off and gutted me like a fish

so now we're both haunting this old house
the two of us on unholy grounds
the afterlife seems perfect
for the two of us

I said I was done with narrative for a bit. I'm about to get into some serious music videos. right now I have two proejcts so far. On the 18th of June im filming a music video for this band name Galaga:The Movie. insane.


And then I also have been talking to this other artist called Thrill Monster, a little pop/electronica/ badass..

You don't learn to play music, you just do it.

I make music at night cause I can't sleep. its nothing new, people do it all the time. Sometimes I work on things and then dont touch it for months at a time. Then I wonder where it came from. As if someone during the day records music on my computer. I finally fixed the broken guitar that Seth's mom allocated for us. Its pretty rare cause I looked up the make and model and its made by some small guitar company out of Montreal. Its handcrafted and made entirely of Canadian wood. For some reason I can actually tell the difference in sound quality... or maybe its just the new strings. haha.

I've been playing guitar since about 2001. I remember when I was younger I wanted to be in a band and play music for a living. I had amassed a small collection of musical equipment but I sold it all to buy a camcorder. Sometimes I wonder what I'd be doing if I stuck with it.

I love Sarah Jane

I first watched this short film about 2 years ago. These are the kinds of stories I like. Of course its a zombie movie (who doesnt like those), I really enjoy that the writer of this short took the time to slap in a little meaning behind the gore. I always say that the best zombie movies, arent about the zombies. They arent the point . Zombie movies are about the human condition.

And I just love the pacing of this movie. I hate how music videos and youtube have completely destroyed the attention span and dramatic tension. Those two kids display so much emotion on screen, even though they're just sitting there looking at each other.. This film is amazing, just watch it.

I love internet haters, and MYSTERY TEAM!!!!

They make me feel great. I never care about questions like these on my formspring but I thought this one was funny. My only response to the person asking this that only fucking cowards ask anonymous questions on formspring. I always talk a lot of shit about other filmmakers, but I only do it cause my work stands for itself. wocka fucking wocka

Anyways, I just watched Derrick Comedy's Mystery Team. AMAZING. This sketch group has some of the best writing I have ever seen. Its a little bitterswet though cause I've been following Derrick Comedy since they first started, and all of a sudden I overhear people talking about Jerry, or Girls Are Not To Be Trusted. and I'm like, dude I've seen those videos millions of times. It was like a cult following that suddenly went mainstream, damn.

The only problem I had with the movie was that the cinematography was TOO good. I highly admire the fact that the film utilizes a lot of single take scenes that cover pages of dialogue, but for some reason all the steadycam and dolly work seemed too distracting at times. Idk that movie is hilarious.
