say whaa?

gonna get a milkshake with vic on thursday. should be fun haha.

I finally just watched. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Fucking Michael Bay. I don't know why I don't like any of his movies. Don't get me wrong. I fucking LOVE transformers. G1 fan all the way. I even grew up on Beast Wars. But theres just something about Bay's commercial blockbuster style I just don't like. Everyone knows he's an asshole in real life, and the self references like the Bad Boys 2 poster in Sam's dorm room is just douchey. I won't even get started on the 360 shots that are literally in every Bay film. yuck. With that said. Transformers are still awesome.

Great Horned Owl did a cover of MGMT's "Kids"
This is pretty badass. I'm still discussing with this group to do their music video. I'm looking forward to being Oregon bound.

more editing

ehhhhh. this class is gonna give me an ulcer or something.

The Adjustment Bureau

I finally took the time to lock down a copy of this film. This is a damn good movie. I'm gonna go out on a pretentious limb here and say that this film was beautifully crafted. Matt Damon as an actor in this role was perfect for his range. I'm really taking a liking to the actor Anthony Mackie. I remember first seeing him as the main antagonist in the film 8 Mile. And then did a badass job in The Hurt Locker. This guy is the next Denzel... possibly. haha. I remember seeing the trailer to this film and automatically thinking this was the pretty much a rip off of the 1998 Alex Proyas film Dark City. Almost the same concept but with modern effects and include the romantic story outline. I really like The Adjustment Bureau. This is one of those films I should have took the time out to see in theaters.

It really makes you think about the choices you make in life.

True Grit

Just finished watching True Grit. This is a damn good movie. The Coen Brothers know what they are doing when it comes to directing.

Earlier today I helped shoot a short. Pretty simple stuff. Mare Island is always a good location. Went to eat at Pelayos afterward and got me a burrito. I always like the burritos there cause you cant pick them up.

Fruit and Nut Meddley is the shit.

Watching Jackass 3d. without the d.

New song in the works. all i gotta say is that its really aggressive. and not of the passive kind.


I remember my friend Tristan showed me this a really long time ago.

Got a hug from a friend today. That felt nice.

Oh my god!

"There's so much blood! I don't know where I am. I just blacked out! This isn't my blood. This is Jaime, please call me back!"

I don't leave regular phone messages when I call people.

the things you own

Tyler Durden said "The things you own, end up owning you." Without a doubt, books are a dying medium. I like owning books. Absorbed into my brain and instilled as an everlasting knowledge. I don't actually read any novels or anything with a story to it. I don't know why I'm not really into fiction. I'm not sure if a part of me doesn't like the fact that fake stories don't really have a purpose. Cause in reality, theres truth in most fiction. So why not write about real things? It would be really messed up if a hundred years after the end of humanity, aliens will find a copy of George Orwell's 1984 and use that as a base of their assumptions on the human race. Most the books I own are textbooks that encompass the many facets of the entertainment industry. Also a ton of Shel Silverstein. What does that say about me?

some side action


I do real estate videos as another source of income. I have to say its some of the easiest video work out there. I actually got the job cause me and the real estate guy worked on a short film together almost two yeas ago. I think the hardest part of these things are finding the music for them haha.
