Visions in the Desert XXXVII: Film Maker

Fri Dec 4, 2009, 12:03 PM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: film audio
  • Watching: Dailies

The last time I updated this thing I wasn't at school. Now I am and it's almost the end of the semester. Needless to say, I've been busy doing a lot of filming and editing. I've for certain failed three classes, but those classes didn't involve filming at all. They were drawing and history and shit I don't care much about. I've made two films. Working on my last one. I'm also production editor on a graduate film. Funny story how that happened. I guess they didn't know that I was just a beginner, seems I don't come off as one. Story of my life.
Am I in over my head? Not even close.

Visions in the Desert XXXVI: School II

I should probably clarify some things.

Yes I am still going to SFASU. Yes I am still getting a degree in cinematography. Change: instead of a BA in cinematography, it has now been changed to a BFA. Cause I'm a hard ass.

I've also been helping a friend out with a screenplay she has been writing. I'm punching it up a bit. She's a rookie so she's still green to everything. I think it's a cool idea. Horror genre, I'm trying to help her keep it from being cliche as fuck, easier said then done though.

The screenplay I'm writing is a comedy, so a completely different mind set, and I've hit a snag. That sucks but at least it's not like Transformers 2. What happened O&H? Also, fuck you Mr. Bay.

That's about it really. Follow me on twitter if you want actual updates.

Visions in the Desert XXXIV: Whore

See the above ^ yeah, I'm that site's whore. Four separate ways to enter a tweet, I'm a total tweetwhore. Text, Web, Firefox, Desktop, there isn't a way I can't really send one. It's become addictive. Let me tell you why:

It's better than Myspace because: I don't give a fuck about your fucking games, quizs, new song etc.

It's better than Facebook because: If I wanted to be your friend still from high school, I would be.

I don't have to see your latest pictures of your retarded children, play bumper stickers with you etc. You have 140 characters, not words, but characters, to say what you need to and shut the fuck up.

It's minimalistic and I like that.

In 140 characters or less:
Because it satisfies me better than your worn out mother.

Visions in the Desert XXXIII: Tagged

Sun Feb 1, 2009, 5:58 AM
  • Mood: Anger
  • Listening to: As I Lay Dying
  • Reading: Beethoven: The man who freed music
  • Playing: Guitar
  • Drinking: Soda

1. I'm smart, really smart. Too smart for my own good maybe. Last IQ test was in freshman year in high school, I scored a 130 on it, haven't been tested since. I realize people say IQs don't matter, but how many people with low IQs do you know that truly are fucking idiots? I rest my case.

2. I watch movies, and lots of them. Normally I am watching 4-5 movies I've never seen before in a week, especially with a high speed internet connection at school. I admit to being a pirate. If you want someone to trust on movies, come to me, I make no qualms about if a movie is good or not, regardless of what it is.

3. I smoke a lot as well. It will be the death of me. I'm annoyed by people that tell me it's bad for my health, as if that's something that is unknown to me.

4. I condone smoking weed. I however do not condone hard drugs, my opinion comes from the experiences I have had, and what I have witnessed. Also the commercials on t.v. about weed are false. Marijuana is not habit forming, however hard drugs are. You do the math.

5. Music is my life's blood. I've tried other disciplines but I always return to music. At my age group, I can still hear better than other people around me, and I believe from test taken that I am more susceptible to frequencies than the average person. People think I have exceptionally good relative pitch. I don't, not that I know of anyway.

6. On the subject of music, I have an affinity for sus2 and sus4 chords and the pitches of D for some reason that is beyond my comprehension. My favourite scale is the D Major/b minor scale and I compose in it a good chunk of the time, regardless of what instrument it is for. I play a lot of guitar, violin with an occasional venture into piano for the pretty things that need to voices and a single player.

7. I help people when they ask, even if I don't like them, I will still help them, because some times people just need help and have no one to turn to. I'm far too forgiving.

8. I write every day, even it's to no purpose I still write.

9. I consider myself a renaissance man, especially in the area of the humanities. I am an accomplished writer, artist, musician. I am skilled in the sciences as well as philosophies etc.

10. My ocd consist of being slightly germophobic. I won't drink out of a glass if I think its dirty, it doesn't have to be dirty, I just have to think it is, same goes for silverware and china etc.

11. I've had the same best friend for 18 years. I form long-term relationships with people, and when I'm curious about something it's genuine. If I'm curious about you, indulge me, it's the best way to get rid of me, let me figure out what I want and then I will leave you alone. In that vein, I am a philomath.

12. I dream in color. I know all women dream in color, but to this day I have not met another guy that dreams in color other than me. They aren't vivid colors, mostly consisting of reds, blues, some greens and yellows.

13. My favourite number is 52. I find it looks balanced.

14. I'm an introvert with a persuasive personality. Once I do leave my room, I can generally convince someone to do something with little effort, however, the introvert in me doesn't like bothering people when I am out and about.

15. I do not like crowds, I hate them, and I won't go to big parties as I find it has too many people and that makes me nervous. I prefer small gathers, 4-7 people at the most. The last big party I went to, through out the night there were over 100 people at it.

16. My mind never shuts off. I can be wide awake in less than 3 minutes given a cigarette and a soda and I'm good to go.

17. I hate talking about myself, and I find this almost painful to do, ask any instructor in college and they will tell you, I don't like talking about myself, I'm prideful, yet humble to the point this makes me feel bad.

18. I know the difference between "wonder" and "wander" and "farther" and "further" and I use them correctly.

19. I'm a music major who has been confused for an English major.

20. [intentionally left blank]

Visions in the Desert XXXII: So fond

Sat Nov 22, 2008, 3:45 PM
  • Mood: High
  • Listening to: The Human Abstract
  • Reading: Breakfast at Tiffany's
  • Drinking: Water
For those that have known me for a while, that I speak with on a regular basis, should by now know I have a fondness for The Divine Comedy, especially the translation by Allen Mandelbaum.

As of late I had 3 copies of the complete poems, Cardi's in 3 volumes, Mandelbaum's also in 3 volumes and a final version in a single volume with another author's interpretation.

I am happy to say that I recently just purchased a copy of Mandelbaum's translation in a single volume, as well as hardcopy. It's an excellent edition and I look foreword to purchasing other editions in the future.

It is my fondness of The Divine Comedy that even lead me to read the whole of The Inferno to a significant other at the time. I rather enjoy sharing the story with other people. So if you ever happen upon a copy of it in a book store, think about getting it, it offers some pretty cool stuff for such an old story.

I also purchased Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's. It has a collection of other stories in there, and I've read one and I've enjoyed it.

On a final note, someone I'm not fond of is Kid Rock. He's a douche. Stop acting like you are from the South you cunt. You were born in Romeo, Michigan, not fucking Alabama. Stop pretending you are cockjock.
