Happy

I know I rarely update anymore but I thought it would be great if I took time out from studing for finals to thank my HP Laptop for being a complete piece of shit and dying right before final's week. All my notes and backed up work gone. Fuck you HP and your cheap shit computers. I knew they were bad when I got it but I wasn't paying for it and I had to have something to replace my Alienware after the video card's fan stopped spinning. On the upside I have tuned my PS3 into my temp computer until I can wave good by to my former PC self and become a full member of the Steve Jobs cult. Which using the PS3 means I am working on a much larger display then I'm used to. Sadly all I get out of the extra 50 or so inches is a large brower. No photoshop or video editing using all the ps3 cell power. It's like having the worlds largest dick and not knowing what sex is. This sucks can't I sue someone for HP making me fail a class? I'm out.

I got rick rolled by the mall today. None of the others knew what I was talking about when I asked "Did we just get rick rolled by the mall?" I guess my friends just don't pay any attention to memes.

I'm no stranger to love

It's amazing how even when you see something coming. You can tell with near perfect certainty what is going to happen and still get disappointed when your right. No that's not going to happen, there's no way but somehow somewhere towards the end you get your hopes up. "But as bad as things look it couldn't be any better or worse that's just the way it is so you might as well stop bitching." Not a direct quote but it gets the point across. Yeah so what this update says something but really only three people are going to read it and it's not preceded by a huge hiatus like I prefer but hey life's full of disappointment you'll manage. And if any of you that do read this and happen to think you know what I'm talking about and, I don't mean you feel a connection though similar experience, I mean what I'm specifically talking about your wrong because not one of you know all the situations I'm talking about. It's not about one set of people or events but just the whole collection.

Get used to it!

Edit: While I was typing this I was sitting here thinking how I missed my old life where I was "Happy" and younger. After thinking about how much I've changed over the years I went back and read some of my journals for pretty much the last 3 years. I haven't changed at all. Also I should post more for 3 years from now.

Hi I'm alive, Hadn't update in a while and I though you should know that. Also got a hair cut check the myspace for pics.

later

For over a year now I've held a LAN party at my house every Tuesday night. On some occasions my friends and I may have had a bit much to drink and my neighbors have been disturbed by the classic after game chatter held on my front porch that you'd expect after a good game of Halo or whatever we happen to be playing that week. Sometimes my poor neighbors have enlisted the help of the authorites to shut us up (I live next to, not in, an appartment complex). Two of us left for a walk around the block so we could talk and not have to yell to be herd. We noticed that we could still tell what song they were playing 100ft from the house but we didn't really think to much about it (again maybe a little bit to much to drink). So about two hours later I'm in the kitchen trying to set up a game of Halo 2 because some of us were feeling nostalgic when someone walks up and says I'm needed out front. So I go outside and there are two cops standing on my porch. They inform me that "my band" is too loud and if they have to come back that I'll be arressted. Now I realize this is serious but I couldn't help but be ammused. Him calling it a band was very funny to me. But also teaches me that my neighbors probably don't like Rock Band at 3:00 AM as much as the rest of us. On the plus side we did finish the band world tour that night. But I guess what I'm getting at is try to respect your neighbors when playing into the wee hours of the mourning if for no other reason than to avoid jail time.

WE ROCK

Starting work on a new project soon. I think I like doing effects test more then the effects themself. But I'm pretty excited about this one. Isn't that creepy?

It's late, I'm bored and I haven't added anything to this journal in months. I couldn't think of a better time to do so. I just don't feel productive today at all. I've wasted a lot of time lately. My moive needs work and other things in my life that I should be spending time on instead of just sitting around waiting on something to happen. I guess I'm just a little frustrated about my station in life right now. But instead of complaining about it I guess I should do something about it. So back to being more productive I guess. But that is for tomorrow because right now I'm at 6 of an 8 part Friday the 13th marathoon.

About my movie, I'm thinking about showing a sneak peak of the beginning of my film soon since it's looking like it may be a while before the rest is done. I think the opening works pretty good for what I have done so far so it could be shown with out the rest just to help spark interest. I'll let everybody know when I make up my mind about that.

Yes yes at long last I've gotten off my lazy ass and started filming. I haven't got much filmed yet but I did get some stuff done and since it needs to be edited a little goes a long way as far as getting it ready for being part of a movie. I did get one small piece of a scene finished already and I'm already working on getting more ready. I got one of the clone scenes finished and it turned out to be more work than I'm used to for a simple clone shot. Oh well I'm working on the what will be the first shot with an active lightsaber in the movie and the roto scoping on that is going pretty well. I'm taking my time so it turns out good and should have it finished in a few days. Tim and I are back to getting the fight planned out and trying to get the final script ready. The story and plot are set all we need now I better dialog. I'll try to keep you guys updated as best as I can. If I can ever get this damned thing finished I'll try to have a big party with a grand showing. But I'll leave you with a picture from the movie. It's a picture from the first shot I finished.




Are all clones emo???

So I really think I want to try to start my own company. I really won't be too upset if it fails but I really want to try it just to see if I can. But I've been sitting here working on stuff on my computer and working on my myspace for my movie projects and the more I think about the idea the more I like it. If nothing else I just want to be able to have it for my moives. To say hey my company / studio whatever made this. And if other people want to do a movie why not. I can help others make a movie and make some money on the side. But all of the sudden the intrest to do this is quite strong so I guess I have to go with it. I guess I'll start working on this on my next day off. Hopefully I can get some movie work done as well. I hope I get the name I want I really don't want to have to design another logo.

Heres to following dreams

One of these days I'll actully get this damn movie finished. I've kept pretty busy with work lately but at least I love my new job. I guess I need to go shoot my parts of the movie first then after I do all I can then I can yell at everyone else that hasn't been able to shoot yet. I understand they have work I'm not that upset I just want to get all the filming done so I can sit down and edit for what will probably take 3 months. I wanted a cool poster to show people and I tried to make one and it end up looking like dog crap. As many movie posters as I've done in photoshop I should have done way better on a first attempt. But I find that if I emulate the style of another movie poster instead of creating my own I normally get better results. So this mourning at sat down to give this poster a second attempt. This is what I came up with:



I think it turned out pretty good. Anyways thats about all for now.

Roommate Wars is coming.... Someday

Hello all. I know I don't post very offeten anymore but don't think I don't stop by and read stuff pretty offten. I'm working again. Directv now. Way better then SCI. I am really happy with my new job. I like the people, where I work, and what I do. I'm loving having a night shift job. I can finally stay awake all night and sleep all day and it not affect me in a bad way. However the nights are quite boring. No one else is up and there's nothing to do. For example tonight I worked on organizing my MP3s and assigning genre. Then after I couldn't take all the excitement from that I filed some DVDs. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal to you but I like my movies to stay in order. And for most people that also doesn't matter. But tonight I decied to count. I'm not really sure how to count series and multi-disc sets so I did it by if it has ever been sold alone or is a stand alone movie it counts as one. I counted 311. I know there are people out there with way bigger collections but I'm proud of mine. Those people have more money and have been working at it longer. Anyways lets stop geeking out now. I saw what used to be my two best friends saturday. Neither of them talked to me. Thats ok though. Ahhh so freaking bored. If anyone ever wants to hang out between 11 pm and 5 am let me know there's a good chance I'll be free during those hours. Alright I'm off to find some meaning less chore around the house I've been negelecting for months.

It's been so long since I updated I could barely remember how to make this damn red marquee

Well I planned on starting filming this weekend. However I really want to shoot everything in oder to make the editing easier. But the stuff I needed my mom to do for me to shoot at her house didn't get done so I didn't get to start yet. Also I still haven't finished the script. I assume most of it will just get made up anyways. We got a plot outline that's good enough right? Writing is hard. It's even harder when I'm writing for real people. Trying to mimic the things they would really say and not give myself to many lines. Although I didn't get started on my film I did show up in someone elses. There was a contest for editing. People are givin a song and have 24 hours to make a music video for it. I called this girl I wanted to hang out with and she invites me to come hangout downtown. I get there and there was a ton of people playing wall ball and people running around the group with cameras. I already knew about the project from The Toilet which is a site my roommate Tim works at. Well anyways that was the people shooting this video so I agreed to help. So I got to die in a music video. I haven't seen the video yet but I'm told it won the contest. To those who see it I'm the guy laying next to the wall coughing up blood. That was kinda fun. (Side note fake blood taste bad!). It was good that I ran into them cause I need to talk to them about making a cameo in my film anyways. Also today I tracked down Steven Latham. I wasn't trying to do it. I mentioned him in a conversation and they said they knew him. They gave me one of his friends phone numbers and I called it to see if I could get Steven's number. No answer. A little later they called back. I asked if they knew were I could find Steven. He was with them so I got to talk to him. So I guess he's not dead. Wierd day for me. He was busy and only talked for a second told me to call back I didn't yet though. Just thought it was wierd that I found him. So thats about it for today. Wow this has been more informative then most of my updates.

If I got in to a lightsaber fight with you I'd just take your saber away

Hey guys, I've been meaning to update since monday but I've just been busy. I guess I needed to. Monday my dad passed away. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning. It was an accident. But anyways. I'm okay guys. Don't worry about that. But yeah I just really needed to mention that. And for those of you who haven't herd I'm making a movie. It's going to star Tim, Erin, and me. That was the two big things I needed to talk about.


Trailer for my movie.

Ok so I never updated when I got back from my trip. But yeah it was great. I learned to snowboard. I found that snowboarding is a lot easier and less painful then skateboarding. We were gone about five days, we spent three of those days snowboarding. It didn't take me and John very long to pick up but Chris and Wes caught on too after a little more pratice. The best part is we all made it though the trip without any lasting injuries. When we got back I was met with a replacement to my dear Susan which I lost two months prior. It's nice to be able to drive again and go whenever I feel like it. I guess I still need to name the new car. Even though I can go places I seem to be pretty happy just staying home relaxing. I guess it's my job bothering me. I hate it. It is supposed to get better but I only see it getting worse. But I'm working on my own project to fix it. If all goes well someday maybe I'll be my own boss. I guess I really should go to school to learn what I'm doing instead of just learning from the internet but my way is so much more fun. Learn what I need and skip the rest. Oh well we'll see how it goes. At least I know what I want to do now. I just gotta make it happen.

I always thought about this job but never thought I could actully make it. I don't know why I do now.

*Yawn* wow it's been a while. I am so ready to go home already. My job is so freaking boring. There is nothing to do. Luckly someone left my computer unblocked so I can read LJ today. At least I was able to take time off to go snowboarding. That is going to be so much fun I can't wait to leave. I guess I'll be starting my film projects soon too. I just got my camera in last week and now all I need is a way to transfer video to my computer so I can edit it and I'll be all set to begin. I've got two projects already started. Deno's which he is taking care of the story I'm just helping shoot it and doing the editing for him and then mine which I can already tell is going to take a while. I don't know much about what Deno is planing but mine is going to be about me and my roommates sorta. It will also be kinda like a Star Wars fan film too. I've got a short trailer of mine done I just need to get it hosted so I can post it. Ok what else. ARG this doesn't kill enough time. Want to go now. Ok well I guess that's going to have to do. Wait did I ever talk about my car wreck I can't remember. Well if I didn't I totalled my car about a month ago so now you all know I lived though that. Oh yeah and about 2 weeks ago I caught my pants on fire. Yes I was wearing them at the time but I made it though that too. Ok so yeah snowboarding this weekend should be fun. There you guys know I'm alive. I'm done.

Blue jeans can't catch on fire........................*(blue jeans catch on fire)*....Ahhh ahhh crap

I finished my first Lightsaber test video and edited some other stuff in just for kicks. I think it really has that Star Wars feel I was going for. Please check it out and tell me what you think. Sorry about the crappy host when I find a better one I'll use that.

Click here to watch my lightsaber test video.

I told you lightsabers are cool

MERRY CHRISTMAS LJ!!!

Wow I just don't post any more. Busy lately. I'm trying to get work done around the house mostly. So update. not living with family is the greatest. Work is boring. Social life is questionable. Have a girlfriend untill the next time I talk to her when she will be dumped for lying to me. My old boss lives with me. Tim's a cool guy. It's Christmas time. Going to see family tonight. Bored a lot. Thinking about making a movie. It's been so long since I've made one. Me and Tim have been talking about doing a Star Wars Fan Film. Been trying to learn some F/X for that. Today has been spent finding photo's of friends and putting light sabers in there hands. Here is before and after of my saber.



What do you think?

Anyways got to go get ready now. The whole point was to post those pictures. Cause I thought it was cool.

Lightsabers are cool.

HA I FUCKING KNEW IT. But for some reason I just don't even care. Don't get me wrong I hope he dies but eh whatever. I knew that was why she really left I just wanted her to say it. Ok well time to go replace her now. I'm just going to say he may be fun and new now but so was I once. But he'll never be as good as I can be. So I guess all I can say is have fun that seems to be all you care about in life.

Ok so I brought my myspace accout back to life added new pictures and with in a week a guy hits on me. Why? So much stuff I have been meaning to come here and update about but this just needed its own update. I just changed the pictures three days ago. DAMN IT!!! Why don't girls always try to talk to me. I don't have a problem with gay people I have gay friends but I am not gay and I don't want to be hit on by guys. In other news my spending is going crazy. I have money and I love to spend it. I know I need to save but buying stuff for me makes me happy. I don't need to use it for anything else now. The number of movies I own is climbing very rapidly now. I bought seven movies this week. Need to catalog them soon. UMMM ok don't really want to type anymore now but more to say. OH yeah if your ever driving though Huntsville late one night and you see a two glowing sticks ,one red one blue, hitting each other alot and spinning around stop by and say hi. Its probably me and someone else having a light saber fight.

Just so no one feels left out... Hung out with Erin, went to eat, Saw Daniel Grace. I like when other people talk about me in there journals so I should too.
