Drunk: The Movie

is an idea that me and Seth have been thinking about doing for the longest time. Basically its a documentary about the creation of a 10 minute short film with the stipulation that the entire production has to be done under the influence of alcohol.

and what's considered drunk? we're gonna use that chart thing, and probably a breathalyzer.
First we would get a documentary crew to follow us around the entire time. (they're the only ones completely sober) We would write the script drunk. Auditions will be drunk. The entire cast and crew will be drunk during filming. We'll edit the film drunk. and have a drunk film premiere.

and all this started with the notion of making a regular film and doing a drunk commentary on it.

Our livers will hate us in the end. But I think this would be a really entertaining and funny documentary to see. Plus the short film too!

Craigslist

Firstly, I juts watche Hot Tub Time Machine. That movie is actually a really funny movie.

Anyways, Craigslist is one of the greatest inventions known to man. I sold some camera equipment today, I posted the ad yesterday and this German guy called me up. He was interested in buying my stuff, he had cancelled on me and his other friend called. He showed up today and we made the transaction. The buying and selling part of CL always gets me nervous cause dealing with complete strangers is always weird. This German guy pulls into my driveway and all I can think about is the movie Hostel. I'm always afraid of either getting robbed, or murdered. I remember the first time I sold a guitar on CL and this old guy came to my house and I swear I felt like he was gonna lead me to a corn field and shove me in a hole... But for once this guy was actually pretty cool. He's does this thing called kite surfing, and kite snowboarding. Here's his website below.

I wish I could talk to you.

Trying to clean this damn office, as usual. Pacing around the room. I get another one of those, deadly waves of lonesome regret. Thats the downside of not sleeping as much as I do. I think too much. I'm thinking about all the opportunities that passed me up. I think I have my life on track. I know all the right people. I'm really trying.

I got into a conversation with an a friend of mine about motivation. I said the things that drive me to do things are never for personal gain. I stand by what I said. What's the point in doing something amazing if you don't have anyone to show it to? The past half year was spent trying to impress someone. No matter the outcome, good or bad, (in this case the latter) it made me work. I need to find another reason to keep doing this film shenanigans.

But anyways, dude I'm feeling good. My surgery for my left eye is next week. I hope the lens takes. It better, or I'll be pissed.

The very first line of this post was meant to be down here... I do though. I wish I could talk to you. I wish I could say the things I want to say. Congrats. Hope that works out and that you're happy. I feel like I fucked up as a friend. I don't have any feelings anymore. I'm surprised at how much I really don't care anymore. And I don't mean that to be insensitive at all. I mean I thought I was gonna be all distraught about it. But I'm not. I find it cute actually.. lol.

hella just knocked out earlier.

So I went to the dentist today and took the best nap i've ever had. They didn't put me out, I actually fell asleep. They filled in 2 cavities on my right upper side of my mouth. I know, I should be taking more care of my teeth but I kinda have another health issue that takes a little more priority... i don't know why I'm feeling ridiculously chipper and happy lately. Like with everything thats been going on lately in my bidness and personal life, everything is looking good. I just hope its a legit feeling and not my pituitary glands malfunctioning and overproducing endorphins.

under your shoe

http://thekitchensink.bandcamp.com/track/under-your-shoe
We split a piece of gum on an Autumn day, it lasted us through the month of May
when i think about it i can nearly taste its minty flavor that we seemed to waste
the message on the package said everlasting but the message in your eyes was quite contrasting
it didn't take me long to get the hint that you weren't really into spearmint
i tried really hard to forget you i tried bubble yum and big league chew
if what you said was really true then all i am is gum under your shoe
just the other day we were blowing bubbles
now i hardly see you through the rubble
of the sticky mess between you and me
if only i knew you preferred sugar free
cause were a taste that i couldn't savor
and now i miss your artificial flavor
the thoughts in my mind kindly conclude
that you were the girl thats already been chewed
i tried really hard to forget you
tried bubble yum and big league chew
but you stick to my mind like gum in hair
the chick in my life that doesn't care
i tried really hard to forget you
you cat unaware without a clue
that the latest bubble that you blew
ended up under your shoe

another one of those confusing posts

I have to say it, but without saying it. If you knew what I was talking about then this would all makes sense. I thought I would be more affected by the current state of tempestuousness. The lethargy in my preceding allure's correspondence is astounding. Its actually cute, and I'm happy for you.
but anyways, its back to bidness for me.. Time to work my ass off again. I'm writing that short for Hawaii... damn, we keep having all these ideas, but its time to put them to use. My next week is gonna be insane cause sunday I'm heading out to Hollister cause Victoria has a photo shoot and I'm gonna go with her to help and possible do some live performance videos for the band Taller Than Trees. Monday is a dental appt. Tuesday is an eye appt. Friday is a live video for these indie bands @ the bottom of the hill in SF. And Saturday is a music video shoot for Galaga the Movie... damn I have a week ahead of me.

im really tired

I got back from the shoot tonight. I ended up being apart of the entourage. it went like this: Jamiel played a celebrity named Jensen, and we were all in the limousine. They doors opened, and Royal and Alonzo (the bodyguards) started working crowd control cause there were a ton of fans with signs outside. Jamiel stepped out of the limo and started waving to his fans. I exited the Limo, followed by Connie, Jensen's mom. Jamiel took off his sunglasses, which is a sign for me (his agent/tech guy/ right hand man) to hand him a sharpie. He begins signing autographs and after a while I have to stop him and direct him toward the building. jeez....

I finished another song, and im uploading it to our bandcamp site. these songs are pouring out. if only they got better though lol.
heres the song: http://thekitchensink.bandcamp.com/
I'm getting really busy with all this filmwork. I just hope I dont burn myself like I always do.
