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.

Tongue Tied

Came back from LA last night. One of the many videos from my friend Luis Mendoza of Taller Than Trees.

Off to the beach today with the most beautiful girl in the world. +5 cheese factor.

if you don't get any criticism, constructive or not, then you cant evolve in your craft. thats why I like telling people they make crap. Some people just need to be told that their work sucks, cause if you go around babying people they'll never want to get better.

Im on vacation. I want nothing to do with anything related to anything that even resembles filmwork. If you need something filmed. Call Seth. He has all my equipment for the time being.

Burnt out. Its about that time of the year I guess. fighting off a cold and sleeping all day. then shooting all day. I just wanna do music videos. That way I don't have to deal with actors.
