God I am sooooo full

March 21, 2008

So its noon on a Thursday morning. I seriously regret my decision to get up at 11:00 today. After last weeks LA adventures, these last few weeks of school are going abso-fucking-lutely kill me. I’m over school, I just wanna get real paid man. Though I’m sure that a few months into living on my own, especially in a city as expensive as LA, I’ll want to enroll back in college as soon as humanly possible.

Oh Shit! Interesting stuff!

Hulu is pretty much one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The thing that amazes most is the load time. The clarity is fantastic, but the load time makes youtube look like shit. I’m not too impressed by the selection, I know it’s just Fox and NBC or whatever, but some shows and movies are just clips, rather than entire features or full episodes. I can forgive the lack of complete seasons, but at least give us complete episode.

30 Tips to Rejuvenate Your Creativity

Pretty interesting stuff, it all seemed like common sense, but at the same time, just a bit of effort is needed to keep the juices flowing. Last week I had an old friend tell me he needed five or six drinks to get the creative juices flowing before writing a paper, I think he needs an intervention, but then again, I go down to the pond to feed the ducks a few too many times a week, so who am I to talk.

I need some creativity rejuvenation, I’ve been in what feels like a lull for quite some time. Though, I think you have to actually be productive in the first place, and then sink into a lull, but I don’t know. Either way, I need to get my ass into gear and start producing actual good ideas that come from a sincere place, and not ones that I think people will think I’m cool for having. I feel like I’m getting close to having some sort of style that I comfortable with. Though I have only acknowledged this style through movies I watch, the recognition of certain themes and ways of telling a story, both with the characters and with the cinematography, has really helped me develop what I like to think is a personal “style”.

Now comes the hard part, to turn off the TV, put down the bong, and actually start producing ideas like the ones that I have come to love. I might need a while…haha. This is where the move to LA comes in handy.

Anyways, read the list, see what you think.

First post…of many?

February 29, 2008

So, this is my first blog in quite some time. It’s been about four years since I regularly sat down at my computer and updated random strangers with the monotonous details of a boring straight edge bass player’s life. Well, a lot has changed in four years, and this round, I feel I might actually have something to contribute to the blogging world. Since I no pretty much know no one who blogs, it’ll be interesting to see how long (if ever at all) people start reading this. I guess, if it gets too pathetic, I can get my girlfriend to sign up and start blogging. Or, better yet, I can sign her up and start blogging as her, then read hers, and comment on hers, and then comment as her on mine! But, then again, the point was to become less pathetic, and that takes it to an entirely new level.

This is nice, I rarely take the time to sit down and sort out my thoughts into cohesive sentences. Hooray!

I plan on pretty much talking about anything I’m interested in on here. I love movies, pretty much all kinds. Pulp Fiction is probably the best film ever made. Music is cool too. I like straight up rock like Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, The Old 97s, The Kooks, but I’m down with anything funky and hard hitting.

That’s all I got for not, I’ll talk more later.
