I Spoke too Soon!

my post regarding
I can bite my tongue, it finally is going to come!
but unfortunately the movie doesn't look as dark or morbid as the old test footage and the kid looks different either he has gotten older in the two to three year time span or its a different kid. It just sucks cause you won't get to see Spike's real vision of the movie as seen in the test footage and succumb to watch this new lightened Wb'd shit. Watch the Trailer below and then watch the test footage which I will repost again and let me know what you think.





Bioshock 2



I just found out will be out this year as well, Wow! maybe this is going to be a good year after all with all these new releases.

How My Weekend Went

A usual weekend, got really boring at times trying to find something to do but nothing was happening and if there was, which there was. The drive was jut too far of a drive to go and I didn't feel like camping. Although Friday I did goto some party in La Cresta at this big ass house. Pretty bougie, but it was a weird mix of dirt nasty ass bro's and black people. Which I do not understand how that worked out without a conflict arising. Everyone just coexisted and got along or at least while I was there not sure what happened after I left if anything did or not. I would have rather probably stayed home and do what Im doing right now, be on the computer and blog or make music or read a book. I got more books in the mail so I now have a box full of new unread books to keep me occupied.

Last night searching music I have found a new band The Amity Affliction, they are really good

Past Thoughts

Tonight game me some time to think about myself, hanging with a friend, reminded me of the past. How and who I used to be, I was fun up for anything and never boring, now look at me dreadful to say but it sounds like I've become something I didn't want to be...boring? Or is it this town? It seems dead. I thought of things that we all used to do to have fun and we never had to think about something to do. We always had fresh fun ideas or stuff to do, there was never a dull moment. We used to arrange grand dinner parties at the Olive Garden and we would all caravan down there just for fun. What happened to this? What happened to me? Have I changed?

Good Day

today has been an exceptionally good, maybe tonight will follow the same path! I sold my Fender Twin Reverb now I can finally pay that card off that it's on, slowly good things are coming my way, I wonder what's next? Tonight there is going to be a party in La Cresta I can only hope there is a good ratio, and maybe get some felatio hahaha only kidding. It seemed funny at the time since it rhymed it with ratio but never mind that.

What Have You Done for Me Lately?

I Haven't done much the past couple of days, just been a hermit in my room. Wishing i had a new deck so I could get out and skate. Yesterday I spent a lot of time updating my blog here and when I mean a lot I mean it! I'm still not done either. So I'm sure you have noticed older posts getting longer and being edited. I Just started watching Heroes and its safe to say It is my new favorite show, hook line and sinker! It's sooo good, yea I'm a little late on jumping on the band wagon but who cares? I sure don't, I'll soon be caught up. I have been thinking about music a lot the past week or so, I have a couple of original names, really good ones at that! I will be doing a post-rock, electronic side project inspired by The Album Leaf and American Dollar. Then I will be playing a acoustic show sometime in the future.

I thought this video was pretty amazing

Picture Day!

About two weeks ago i made a post about in which i talked about The Fling show I attended. You can check back on the post here: http://imgarrett.blogspot.com/2009/03/yet-again.html
What was really cool about that show besides them was the band before them "Tape Deck Mountain." The music was hipster experimental and some other genres, not really my style. The main point being the drummer Paul Remund of the duo just so happens to be the ex drummer of Letter Kills R.I.P. funny to have two of the same guys who used to be in Letter Kills now in two different bands both play the same night. Coincidence I think so! More Trivia, I just learned, Dustin Lovelis ex guitarist left due to lack or artistic freedom with the label to start, well what do you know? The Fling! Which led to the break up of Letter Kills.

Letter Kills-
Paul is in the middle and Dustin is on the left.


Still don't believe me?



Tape Deck Mountain-
there's Paul drumming away


Here are a just a select few photos from the show, they are straight from camera so no corrections have been made in ps.





you can check out the rest at my flickr, all of them are not up yet so be patient! I would have loved to talk them, but I doubt they would be very apathetic or excited talking about, I guess sometimes the past should remain in the past. Also here are some photos that I said I would upload of the stuff I got framed

My Grandma's water painting finally framed! Soon to be hung too!



She even signed it! How cool is my Grandma!?



Then here is all my fortune cookies framed, its not pretty, it was just throw together. The left top one kinda shifted down afterwards I'll fix it to be neater later. Reason I didn't glue them was incase I get more fortunes so I'll be able to easily rearrange them but I might have to get a bigger frame too sometime in the future.



Also I would like to state that Bourbon Chicken is awesome!






Just thoughtI would let everyone know, I can't get enough of it. Im an addict, it is probably some of the best chicken I've had too! Best if oven cooked and Served on rice with kikkoman soy sauce and a nice cold arizona your choice of flavor. Mine just so happens to be Red Apple Green Tea, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.



Ps. Why is every girl obsessed with Twilight?

Shit Day! A Big Update

Today was going to be a normal average every day day but now it went from that to shit. I was down at the Farm, no not where horses, hicks, pigs and rednecks hangout. Taking pictures of my new favorite spot, its a pond with a minibarn with a waterwheel attached to it then bridges that go across the pond and a waterfall! It's a really cool awesome relaxing spot. So I was doing some long exposures of the waterfall which unfortunately probably didn't come out good due to being handheld and not tripod mounted since about two weeks ago my tripod broke :/ but its okay cause it was a cheap tripod, nothing fancy or magnificent. As for my next batch of camera equipment will probably include a fluid head or ball head tripod with quick release, a wide angle lens (10mm maybe?), fisheye (12mm), Nikon D70 body, and various lighting equipment, umbrellas to soft boxes.

Off subject now, I've been meaning to post something this for a while and trying to find how to word it. I get to thinking sometimes how important I am and influential to some people and realized there is no one. Not even remotely probably, now why is that? What is wrong with me? Just thinking that makes me feel below average cause I have a friend that I find as well as the other 100 people that constantly call him wanting to hangout and etc look up to him thinking he's this cool dude, which he is. Like I just wish I could be more like him, cause I hate myself sometimes, which the more I think about it, its my personality...? I think I should stop worrying about everyone else and worry more about myself they will come later, I need to look more into doing what I like, want or love while not worrying about impressing anyone. My personality will change as i grow and I will find myself to be a better person than i thought not like Im already not already good hearted. But enough complaining for now.

I was at the grocery store shopping and decided to check out the magazine aisle, found a few things that caught my eye. So I plopped down there in the middle of the aisle and started flipping through the pages. I found out from Geek Monthly that you can make pound cake out of any soda. Like for example Orange Crush Pound Cake!



Also me and my friend came up with the idea the other night to have the worlds largest dog pile and hopefully get it into the Guiness Book of World Records which I am not sure if it has been done before. I searched around a little bit and didn't find much. None the less it would be cool.

One last thing I went shopping for picture frames and it took me like over an hour and a half to get the task done. I went from Target to Walmart to Aarons Brothers where I finally found some better quality frames. I've been meaning to frame this water color painting my Grandma made a while back and gave to me, glad to know thats out of the way now. I also framed all of my fortune cookie fortunes which was a neat idea I thought of. Who knows what luck they may bring, maybe they will all turn out to be true which I hope they are. I'll have pictures up tomorrow.
Stay Up!

I Dreamt Last Night

as the title explains all, I had a dream last night don't remember a whole lot but my wallet was full of money. That is the only thing I remember as I was surrounded by people, could have been friends, not sure. But I went from having a empty wallet to it being abundant. Instead of having paper where it belongs in the cash area it filled with pocket change which probably weighed over 5lbs. Does this dream mean someting? Is money coming my way? Is there symblism? Maybe I should get one of those books on analyzing dreams yea?

not sure what to do

I need to better myself with knowledge that or money, I might be going to bum fuck Utah for a job, its a long shot but it might be good for a change. Since i don't have anyone that really cares if I stay or go and im not involved in any relationships might as well go meet new people. i had a conversation with my friend and its basically true, fuck your friends if they are going to off somewhere with you out you in a heartbeat then why shouldn't you do the same? It is mean and cold hearted by you can't live waiting on your friends you have to be your on man doing what you want and need to do to get by.

Yesterday's Shenanigans

Yesterday was pretty funny, we finally got around to testing our cardboard street signs. We filmed at a few locations, but it was too slow we weren't getting enough response. So we will have to hit up more of a metro populated area next time. For now that is all I am going to say about them till we either get some photos and/or better footage. I have been meaning to pick up some props for a while that are going to be used in our next skit. So the three of us head down to the 99 cents store and grab what we need. I dont want to reveal the just details of the video but just know that it will be spectacular when it is done. Aside from props we are also currently looking at a wireless lavilier omni mic setup. Due to a lot of our stuff is going to be hidden camera, to catch the unsuspecting and oblivious it always gives better reactions compared to those who know they are being filmed.

Now for todays update, I was searching google and realized how disappointing about the whole status of "Where The Wild Things Are" movie. It was set to be out last year in or around October, but my thoughts since I haven't heard anything new about it I don't think the movie is going to see the light of day unfortunately. It really bothers me cause the clip that was hovering around the internet looked amazing. If any masterpiece a movie could have been it would have been that but thanks to those bastards down at WB.

I came to thinking the other day if they should make an adaptation from book to film they should do "Wayside Stories From Wayside School." I absolutely loved those books when I was younger although there is more than one book they should just write a screenplay consiting of the best stories combined into one film. That would be great, no wait thats an understatement, Genius!...Not really but it would be nice to see.

All Nighter

First I would like to say Wow! Probably one of the longest and most dragged out nights in my life, I swear I thought it was never going to end. Now here comes the story of how it all came to start. Bored, sitting in my room playing guitar for fun when I get a call from this girl Tayler. "Hey! Theres a party in Temecula Blakes coming and I want you to come, Blakes gonna call you in a bit." "Alright?" So are you gonna come? You better come!" "Okay, I will" forty-five minutes pass and Blake calls. It goes on from there. He rolls by my house to pick me up, then we try to get directions on how to get there. Meanwhile we find out our other friend is now having a last minute party and all the boys (close friends) are going to be there. We were at a fork in the road and needed to make a decision. We decided we would visit the Temecula party for an hour tops then head out to our mates. That plan never got executed properly. I am glad I stayed though overall, everyone has their reasons good and bad alike. I get tired of partying with the same people every time, even though I didn't know many of the people at the party I met new ones and thats what it's all about. So we get there and shake hands, take names, meet people. Time passes, Blake is being begged to stay there while Im just kinda there for the ride although I was put in the middle of things by being asked by both sides what I wanted to do. I tried to stay neutral but that didn't work. So we were in for the whole night there. Played beer pong, cranked tunes then had three rounds of some hardcore ping pong. During all of this the parties inhabitants are now complete intoxicated and its about two in the morning. Another hour passes during that time more people show up. Next thing you know-knock-knock, I exclaim the cops! This moment was the make or break of the night, it was going to be the first party shes going to have and the last party haha. I knew it was coming, I had suspected it all along with the music blasting and noisy kids at three am. Well what do you know it was a noise complaint and underage drinking. The door opens in which kids then realize, oh shit! its the cops after they disregarded my statement they all run out the back door. I stay in the house and hide in the bedroom where I pretend sleep. They then forcefully say We're coming in and walk in, under pretense you have a right not to let them in the house. But I just read up that they are allowed to enter if there is probably cause with exigent circumstances. In our case it was the underage drinking. So they search the house for remaining kids, and ask if they is anyone in the bedroom. "Yea" she states, which there were two people sleeping in the bed. I was on the floor fake sleeping with a pillow. Funny thing is I was trying to hop in the closet but they started to open the door before I could get in. So I quickly dropped to the floor. He then shined his flashlight across the room where I felt it being pointed at my face in my eyes. I remain there still, and lifeless, they close the door behind them. I thought he was going to wake us all up and make us go home or show him our identification although it wasn't as big as a deal as it seemed at the time. Immeadiately after I open the door and walk out into the hallway the cop looks at me , since I was just pretend sleeping but I don't think he realized it was the same person cause he didn't say anything me. He barks his orders about wanting the place cleaned up and everyone gone blah blah blah he will be back in a couple of hours. Not likely, Me and Blake head out the front door and jam up the street on foot hiding behind some cars in a driveway awaiting for them to leave the residence. There really was no point in this, it was just for fun and to get our adrenaline pumping I guess. We wait a couple of minutes no sign, so we make a dash for his car. Hop inside and wait, the cop finally exits and enters his vehicle. As he was leaving he drives slow shining his squad car light we change positions in the car to the floor, which was really a whole 'nother task itself in his tiny Miata. The cop continues shining his spotlight on Blakes car then makes a uey (urtun) whilst checking out the surrounding area. Weird thing was there was two officers, we didn't see the other officer leave the house. Our guess he was probably in the car waiting and saw us the whole time making our mad dash. We finally get the go ahead that its all clear and head back in, the house is empty except for a select few. Everyones trying to get a hold of those that left hoping they all return safe, that nothing happened to them. Minutes pass and one by one they all start showing up, friends of the owner take control and let everyone know they have to go home and keep the noise down. Then drama ensued the owners purse had gone missing during the flee from the cops, oh no! People start suspecting people, maybe it was so and so, the finger pointing and blame game had begun. I'm sitting there listening to the bickering, in my mind I knew the purse was at the house still that no one had taken it. It will show up eventually, and what do you know it did, they found it locked safe in another bedroom. The house starts getting cleaned up, while the remaining few leave. Its now down the the ones who are staying, which whom being us. Its about four-thirty now. I'm tired and ready for bed and have no where to sleep. I walk around the house in search of some comfort, everyone around me is passing out or already asleep. Im at the point where I'd rather go home now. It comes to attention that that Tayler is hungry for Del Taco, money gets bummed and a car gets borrowed and I find myself in the backseat. I decide to tag a long for the ride since my GPS navigation skills were needed. The time is now six in the morn give or take a few minutes. The three of us are all situated in the car ready to leave, we open the garage and turn the car over. Next thing I know I see a light shining in the garage pointed at the car, the only thought comes to mind, "are you fucking kidding me?" He came back? So now the officer is in the garage with the flash light pointing it at us asking what we are doing. Did everyone leave? how many people are here still? is everything cleaned up? What is this twenty questions? It ain't your house, so scram don't you have better things to be doing I thought to myself. We pull out of the drive way carefully shutting the garage after us, the cop is now standing in the drive way radioing shit in. We get a call moments later in the drive-thru the cop came back! We could have told you that, I guess he walked in again and woke up the few that were sleeping there. Blasting music on the drive there I realized how much I love the morning, the coldness of the air on your skin and how its the most beautiful part of the day. The calmness and quiet of a city sleeping. We get back to the house, to find out we are going to get driven home. Whoo! Slumber at last, I spoke too soon. I was strapped in for the long ride. Loud music the whole trip trying to sleep and be woken up every ten minutes. Two hours later after driving around everywhere doing miscellaneous errands I arrive at my residence, it's about eight-thirty. Tired eyed weary I say my goodbyes and I drag myself upstairs hop in the shower and pass out till two. Well, that concludes my story for the weekend. Hope you enjoyed it or not, no bitching!

I have been wanting to make a post about this for a while as well as other stuff I will get to in later updates. For right now I will talk about this, the internet, communication. It's pretty crazy how people communicate through craigslist like finding something of yours in the lost in found section or even just the missed connections it's almost heart felt. Everyone out there is looking for love or something. I mention this since last week my friends found their dogs in the lost and found section and picked up the same day the lost them. How lucky can you get, that someone who found the dogs would of thought of posting it on Craigslist as well as my friend looking on Craigslist and happen to find them. It's a great tool, thats for sure.

There's also a place where people can blow off steam at society in the Rants and Raves section here: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/rnr/

lots of funny posts, pure comedy.

Then here, I like this one, especially the last sentence:

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mis/1086261284.html

I just realized it will probably expire so I will post the sentence myself below.

You were at the Stater Bros on LaSierra and bought "March of the Penguins" because it was on sale. You were cute, but I didn't have the heart to tell you that you should have gotten widescreen and not full screen. But call me if you wanna watch the movies. Penguins mate for life.

and this one is just plain funny:

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mis/1086246548.html

again, this will expire so i will post the full thing below.

Dear In-n-out guy,
I was driving my car talking on my phone- you, well you were an amazing piece of man meat. Let me refresh your memory: you welcomed me to In-n-out, with a hello, my name is "insert-the-most-important-name-evar here, how are you doing today?" I said, "I'm doing great, how are you?" Could this be? I'm actually talking to another human being, furthermore, I am actually talking to a man?! Yes, indeed. I was awe struck by the way you can say such words to me. I said, I would like a number two protein style, with a larger lemon aid. I was so parched that day, that I needed a larger drink to quench my thirst. I pull up to the window to see this amazing beautiful man in my presence, I was so struck by love that I couldn't turn my attention away from my phone. I handed you my money, of course, you took it- I couldn't believe it! Why would you take my money, I think- I think he likes me I thought to myself! I then asked, can I have extra thousand island?? You said, of course. You turned around and pretended to stretch to put your ass in my face. You handed me my drink with a here. I was so excited!! You gave me a drink?! Why, I thought- why would this god among men hand me a beverage?! It was too good to be true, but there was more coming. A burger and fries- and wait could it be? You gave me extra thousand island like I asked?! Truly this was a day to be remembered.

Seriously dude, you're not God's gift to man. You work at in-n-out. Next time cut the crap and pretend to be happy. We've all been there and done that. Don't pretend to stretch and put your ass in someones face, because honestly it ain't that cute. I thought your huge ass was going to consume me, and my car. Just because I'm on my phone on an important or unimportant call doesn't give you any right to be rude to the customer. Further to the point, I have never seen you in my entire life, what gives you any justification in being rude? You chose your job! You don't gotta love it, you don't even have to like it- but you've gotta tolerate it. You basically threw my food at me, and my change. Stop being a douche and do you job.

Short Update

This is gonna be a short update, if you could call it that? Does anyone know that site Exploding Dog? It's pretty amazing, you should check it out the creator/artist Sam draws pictures from titles you email him. So today i came up with a good four or five titles hopefully he will choose one of them or maybe a couple and them to illustrate and then I will post them up on here for everyone to see!

St. Paddy's Review

Hope everyone had a fun and safe St. Patricks day mine was pretty crazy and fun filled. To start the night off we ruined some ones
backyard bonfire suspecting it was a house fire and called the fire department haha. They came and put it out, those people were probably pretty bummed, better safe than sorry though. The remainder of the night entailed with some awesome shortcake cookies with four leaf clovers printed on them and the enjoyment some fine malt beverages "Mickeys" and Irish Carbombs! What more could you ask for? Kiss me I'm not Irish! The party ended up slowing down, we left around 12 o'clock I believe and headed over to our other friends who tried to steal the party, only kidding, for some beer pong. That lasted til two or three then ending up passing out there with a belly full of Del Taco. Then to wake up with the smell of cigarettes on me and stale taste of Del Taco in my mouth from the night before. I really hate that when you don't get to brush your teeth before you pass out when you stay elsewhere because your mouth feels gritty and gross that following morning. Anyways I don't have much planned today besides hydrating and recuperating. Stay Updated!

The End is Near

so I totally forgot but supposably the world is going to end in year 2012. Kind of a scary thing to think about you can learn more youtube. I will post one video up of the five parts, you can watch the rest through that one.



It is definitely a sore subject for me, I hate to think about stuff like that cause of how well thought out it seems as well as their supporting evidence to back the theory and it's just plain scary to think about! and if the hypotheses is correct we'll I guess we all will know. Until that time I will just keep living my life as well as anyone else.

I actually just searched google for 2012 and saw that Columbia Pictures is coming out with a movie. You guessed it, called "2012" it might have already come out I didn't check the date as far as I know. Just do a google search on 2012 yourself, you will find hundreds upon hundreds possibly thousands of articles on this controversial topic. Also search up Planet X, cause it ties into the 2012 Armageddon theory. although it could just be a flop when people thought the world was going to end years ago and the theory about y2k it's still crazy to think about. Thats all for now

How Ridiculous

So yesterday I needed cardboard for some props I was going to make and I have no idea where to go and get cardboard. So I headed down to the back of stores in search of trash cardboard. I made my rounds, found some at the back of Pets Mart, but it wasn't sufficient enough. The pieces I had were too small for what I needed to create and I had bigger fish to fry. Slowly running out of time I kept on trucking searching high and low until I found the ultimate piece at the back of a Rite-Aid near my house. I load it up in the back of the truck laughing all the way to the bank. I get home and begin to start my project which when finished I will post pictures. The sun is setting and I'm losing light in my garage there is not enough light from my overhead bulbs so I call it a night. We all go out for ice cream and come home to relax. Ready to spend the rest of my night indoors, I decide it's best to shower. While in there my Dad comes in and tells me the cops just came to the house looking for me. My first thought, "Oh how funny Mr. Jokester." Turns out he was serious, three cops came to the house asking for me. Rite-Aid had managed to get my getaway vehicles license plate thus being my Dads truck, from one of their cameras. From the sound of it they must have been pretty pissed if they went this far to report stolen cardboard. The cops wanted to know what I wanted cardboard for and said that the employees of Rite-Aid accused me of literally trashing the place. I couldn't believe my ears, 'Are you kidding me?" I just took cardboard I did not destroy or make a mess of anything. The manager or someone must have been on a power trip, and figured i would get in more trouble by saying that I trashed everything. Well guess again Bitch! what a waste of the Police's time, not like they have anything better to do than the three of them show up about a cardboard robbery? Anyways that concludes my ridiculous rant of the night.

What a Bust

came up with some original ideas for shorts and skits to film that will be funny when we get the time. It was a boring night, big party got blown off I guess there was some drama bullshit so the night was a bust. Although I did get some production time in, shot our short reintroducing the comeback of the schools tv which was news reel themed. So I am currently editing it to air next week and we will be shooting the music video next Friday for sure I can't be any more sure than I am this time. This last time there were multiple reasons but I will just list the main important one, No one to operate the camera. But anyways I have family coming down from Ohio for a week. So I'll probably be spending time with them for the week.

Yet Again

So close to finishing and having everything ready for the shoot, yet it all falls down and had to postpone once again. It's so irritating cause I tried hard to get everything done just so it could get postponed again. We'll I guess I have time to shoot the intro to inform everyone that we are going to do weekly shows, so we'll probably shoot that sometime today hopefully. I failed to mention last night that I was going to a show. The Fling to be exact! Saw them at their seven Inch release party/show down at the Prospector in Long Beach. Good show besides not playing The Breaks being one of my favorite songs. Ended up getting in for free since we arrived extra early so I didn't have to pay the five dollar door charge. Im such a cheap ass, no not really I actually never planned that. It was an accident that happened, the show was supposed to be on at like nine or ten according to myspace and it was two hours later. Crazy thing happened too, we were sitting at a table by the bar and this guy walks by and throws something. I look down at the table to find a little green nug. Weed!? Wtf, I wonder if it was laced, I would never know since I don't touch the stuff but I did sell it haha. I was skeptical about the show since it was going to be at a bar cause most shows are 21+. Thats a known fact, but myspace nor the flyer they had anything about 21+ so I didn't get hastled at all. Funny thing is I think It was cause they were asking for everyones I.D. and it seemed that I was the only 19 year old there at the show. It was a much older crowd, everyone dressed a lot different down there, like a hipster indie old school style. Kinda hard to explain but it was an enjoyable show. I had also found out that night that one of the guys playing used to be in Letter Kills, pretty cool fact. You will probably hear more later in another post as well as see pictures from that show when I get around to doing so.
Thats all for now

Got Inspired

By looking at cool sites, so I'm trying to be creative at the moment and think of cool things to make and do. Wether its a D.I.Y. project to a cool video of some amazing creation. Bcause I really want to create some cool deco for my room to put some color in it, and make my living space flow with creativity. What I need is a mood light that changes color to set the mood with creative juices.

Here are a few sites I enjoy:

G.R.L.
Instructables
Makezine

Then I found some amazing videos I thought I would share with you, I'd love to do some public events like these.




all these are brilliant and I suggest if you liked them to definitely check out their site, where there are more to watch. I don't know what it is about these videos but I always enjoy stuff that involves the public, making a scene, having people wonder what's going. You can check out their site here.

To Assume or Presume

The assumption of me being right all along, proved to be true. As the saying goes nice guys finish last, who would have known? Why do girls lie? Why do they lead you on? Why are they whores when their drunk? Why, why, why...a million why's could be asked but every time you will get the same exact answer, it is in their nature. I will defend those who are innocent not every woman or girl is the same, but for the most part of the demographic I am saying yes. Others can grow out of it, it seems to be a teen thing. I kind of give up on chasing girls, because it gets you no where in the end most of the time. Leaving you with a broken heart and your dick in your hand. Most girls are crazy now a days though, faking pregnancies and just being straight up crazy bitches. It irritates me sometimes how a girl can be this way, everywhere I go now a days wether it's a party or myspace I constanty hear about guys or girls having problems with the opposite sex. It's a constant argument, girls are dumb and guys are dumb but I guess they are both equally dumb when it comes to the details of the situation. Try this scenario on for size, your seeing someone and while your seeing them the other person is playing the field and your totally unaware. This can be a guy or girl, it doesn't matter. Now when your seeing them exclusively don't you think they should be stop fooling around and see if the two would be a compatible match? To see if things work, they say opposites attract but not in all cases, I have seen some weird matches and it just makes you wonder how they came to be together. Then why do girls have to lie to you wether its about another guy they are talking to, "oh he's just a friend." Guys as well as girls have the sixth sense and 1. Know when you are lying 2. Know when he's more than just a friend. This situtation actually happened to me and I'm sure its happened to everyone or at least a lot of people. Usually you could be wrong, you could be too over protective, over bearing, and just flat out paranoid when honestly maybe he or she just maybe a friend. This is why a lot of people are not in relationships or want them they can be very stressful for both sides because it takes a lot strength to maintain them. It wears you down, jealousy is a huge factor that contributes to the paranoia and the insecurity of others. Trust is a huge also a contributing factor in relationships now a days, because it is so easy to get away with anything. Then even more recently I was seeing this girl for about three weeks and she finally decided to call it quits. "Oh your a nice guy blah blah blah we can still talk, I just don't a boyfriend right now cause my life is to stressful." It goes on, she puts the blame on her family speaking of household problems. Like I said nice guys finish last, its like that Green Day song you should listen to it. What would be nice would for a girl to meet me half way for once. Like it's so hard to hold out for the one you want or picture in your mind because it feels as if you'll never find that dream girl. You think to yourself how could there could be a girl that innocent and so sweet, there is but its like a one in a million thing. What's irritating about it is how she or anyone can make up an excuse of saying how you don't wan't a relationship or boyfriend right now because of family problems, (insert fabricated lie here), etc. Only doing so a boyfriend would add onto your stress. One, I think thats a bullshit excuse. A boyfriend does not add on to stress, it is his job as the "boyfriend" to relieve stress and belittle everything making it not seem as bad. It's almost saying, "It's not you, It's me." But what really hurts (since word travels so quick). Two it's unreal how you could move on to see someone else so quick. Try like two days or less. It's really frustrating and nerve racking letting that happen, and guess what? There's nothing you can do about it. The real reason I think behind this though is I believe she thinks I was too good for her. I really don't care if I was or not, that doesn't really matter. My friend also came up with the same conclusion when he talked to her. That I am too much of a good kid, no I am not conceded or full of myself, which was probably the first thing that came to your mind when you read that. Then whats up with people, specifically girls I have seen date guys younger than them I mean younger like the girl was nineteen and the guy..erhhm I mean kid was like sixteen what the crap is that all about? That kid scored on that deal but it's also been the other way around where some younger girls date older guys. Like the girl maybe seventeen dating a twenty or twenty one year old it comes to my mind. Can you not find someone your age? does it have to do with maturity? or what?... I know age is just merely a number but come on. I mean I definitely would not have a problem dating a younger chick, which I have. Just as long as they are not gold digging and have good morals and are LEGAL.
This concludes my rant. Hope Everyone has a good night.

Weapons of Mass Destraction

I have come to the realization which is a known fact, that computers are a mass distraction especially if your hooked up to the internet. You can not get shit done cause you always get sidetracked by useless crap like Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, etc. social networking sites and such. It honestly is hard and I can speak from personal experience, I know everyone else out there feels the same way too. Every couple of minutes I constantly check on my myspace and email. I really need to break the habit, its weird to go back and think about how it used to be before all of this. When there wasn't a myspace, like what you used to do online
like maybe take a couple days away from it to realize, wow I really don't need it look how much better off I am now without it.
The only good reason I see in me keeping my Myspac. 1. Friends far away to keep in contact with, friends with no phones. 2. Networking, meet new people that can better your career as they say its not about what you know, but who you know so go out and make your resources endless. I brought this up for reason of today I spent the day trying to finish up the shot script for the music video I have mentioned in previous posts. Another day closer to the shoot and it's not done yet, but rest assured it will be. It is slowly but surely nearing completion. I have talked to the candidate that I had in mind to run the camera and basically be D.P. of the shoot. I will contact him again tomorrow since he was unsure if he had a shoot he had to do that day. So my fingers are crossed, if not I can have my close friend run the camera but I was just hoping for someone with experience and the knowledge of shot framing and what not. Lately I have been in movie mode, getting inspired, watching good indie flicks to major that I have been wanting to see for a while but never got the chance too. I made a list, so I am making sure too check it twice! Well anyways, there is a party tonight down at my friends, so I am going out to have a breath of fresh air. Stay posted, more soon.

It Came to My Attention

last night when I watched The Go-Getter which by the way is a good movie, if you have not seen it I suggest you pick it up. Watching it, it reminded me of how much I like Dome the geometry of it and the design is just really neat. There was this scene in the beginning when this band is jamming in this dome in the forest and I thought to myself how much I would like to have dome in the forest. Oh, and get your head out of the gutter I'm speaking of geodesic domes.





I don't know what it is, if its they're sweet look thats got me hooked or that it could be my own private sanctuary out in the woods while having my indie band practice there!

Yesterday's Adventure

was fun, I wen't riding up in the hills, did what I used to love most...Ride. Rode up through the beautiful community of La Cresta, nothing but mansions sitting on acres of property. It's ridiculous I really wish I was that wealthy. Although I'm not worried that much about it, since someday I will be in that position sitting comfortably atop of my private ridge. My own "Private Idaho." I ended up taking a lot of photos and found out while viewing my pictures on the computer how dirty my sensor was. Little speckles and hair were showing up ruining some shots, not dramatically but I will have to spend time photoshopping the debris out. Thing is, its only visible when I have the aperture closed up small which is usually when you can tell when you need to clean it. With me though, I already knew it was that time since it hasn't been cleaned nor serviced since I've owned it. Which the sensor is supposed to be cleaned every six months. I just didn't realize it was as dirty as it was. So it's basically time to send it out to Canon to get it cleaned, since I don't want to risk scratching or damaging the sensor whilst trying to clean it myself.

Last Night

another conflict with Olga ensued, go figure, I knew it would be a couple of days before something else happened. I got into trouble from not cleaning the cookie sheet the night before. Since I wasn't home to clean it for her my dad had to clean it. Just goes to show how handicapable she is of doing so. It just so happened that she needed to use it for baking cookies, what a coincidence. The one time I don't clean it, she needs it, the story escalates from there. I arrive home, my father is gone working. She is speaking spanish on the phone watching tv as usual. I have things to do tonight, and I am starving so I decide to cook up some Bourbon Chicken and Rice. There are two cookie sheets, so she can share especially if she is not using them right now. I pull out the tin foil and start to lay it down on the one sheet. She quickly hangs up the phone and jumps to her feet sprinting to the kitchen, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" "I'm making dinner, your not using them right now." Quick to reply "YES I AM!,I'M MAKING COOKIES!" Oh really? where are they? I saw you chatting on the phone and watching tv is what I wanted to say but I didn't. She rips the cookie tray out of my hands like a bat out of hell. "THIS ONE IS GREASED!" "Why are you so hostile, calm down, I'm sorry I didn't know it was greased." So I just end up using the other one. She immediately picks up her phone and speed dials my Dad. Your Son (insert story here) while she babbles on I exclaim, "Grow Up!" "DID YOU HEAR THAT? WHAT YOUR SON JUST TOLD ME!?" she tells me this constantly and gets mad when she gets a taste of her medicine. What really irritates me that escalated this situation, was that this whole confrontation could have been avoided. If only instead of her being lazy that whole hour and a half between the time the cookie sheet got cleaned and the time I got home the cookies could have been done and baked but she decided to procrastinate. Too bad, I am not gonna sit there and be starving now that she decides to make cookies when I decide too cook food for myself. After the phone call she placed to my Dad, I guess I ruined her night. She cleaned up her mess in the kitchen and then stomped her way up stairs and slammed the door. She even went to be bed early. Wow! All I can say is grow up! The End

I'm Still Up

Its now 1 o'clock in the mornin' and I'm still awake, why? Because I just watched another awesome movie. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Last night was Sex Drive and the night before was Zach and Miri Make A Porno. I'm just on a roll, Nick and Norah and Zach and Miri are both really good movies. N&N reminded me of how much I like indie music and how much I want to goto New York to party every night goto shows, the night life. Give and let Live, be spontaneous and at the same time have fun. It sure made me think of life, how much I have to live for. What's in store for me as well as what I am going to achieve and accomplish.

Current Update

So I've been working on the shooting script today, and i have had some great ideas which will continue to flow out of me. But I think we're not gonna be shooting tomorrow yet again unfortunately, FUCK! Because no matter what if i get everything done tonight. 1. I havent heard from my buddy in a couple of days. 2. Didn't contact the teacher and talk to resources at the school for what we need to do, and have done. 3. I don't have someone to operate the camera. 4. My friend hasnt recorded his part for the song, which I am guessing he probably won't. Aside from all that stressful stuff with deadlines I was thinking a bit today about all the run-ins with Olga I've had recently and in the past and I think I am goin to start writing a movie script and send it to View Askew and hope that Kevin Smith picks it up. Its still an idea in progress but the synopsis of the film is basically going to be about the daily war between me and her and my ultimate plan to get her out of my life and out of my house. It shall be interesting. Although I am sure there are like hundreds of scripts send to Kevin Smith daily but just maybe I might get lucky.

Boring Day

didn't accomplish much today, woke up late... try 12. Although I did get the opportunity of getting a hundred dollars for selling my friends truck on craigslist but i don't get the money till it sells. Tomorrow I will be writing out and drawing the shot script for the shoot on Friday. The day is growing close along with the deadline so I need to get it done. None the less there is this big project in the works that i am closely involved in called Vendire. Its a creative common where anyone and everyone can meet to talk about whatever ranging from the latest fashion, movies, music, art, etc. Bookmark the site here and sign up for the forums here.

Todays Update

besides the last post regarding the woman who must not be named. Here is a meaningful update. Regarding my post on the As Tall As Lions show i have found some footage from that exact show on youtube. So everyone take a gander at this oh so joyous event. Although if you try and look for me you wont really see me unless i point myself out...big whoop haha but I really enjoyed that night. I didn't just hear the music I felt it how it was supposed to be felt.



also check up on my flickr I have posted the a hope for home show pictures, the link is here. I will also post up the ATAL flicks, from their show too when I get time later in the week. Me and my buddy went shopping this morning and finally got our costumes for the music video shoot on friday, I just need to finish editing the song and start writing/drawing out the shot storyboard. Aside from that I went on an awesome hike today with some friends up at the plateau hopefully will get to go on another one soon next time I will bring my camera cause it is really beautiful out there. I have also been patiently awaiting my damn tax return wondering if its ever gonna come!?

This Shit Has Got to Stop

I am fed up with Olga's bitching, nagging and over excessive complaining. How rude and immature can you get? I go downstairs because I need to eat really quick before i leave to go hiking and she happens to be in there making a sandwich. I pull out a pot to cook my food in when she turns around to blab CAN'T YOU WAIT TIL IM DONE! I DON'T WAN'T TO BE AROUND YOU! YOUR SO HATEFUL! "Excuse me!? How am I hateful?, your the one being rude and need to learn some manners." YOU NEED TO GROW UP AND GET A LIFE, YOU NEED TO GET A GIRLFRIEND, WHY DON'T YOU GO HANGOUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS! not sure what a girlfriend and friends have to do with this conversation and where they come into play but her lame attempt to try and get me out of the house failed. I have stated this before in other posts about her but she is a contradicting hypocrite. Here are a few examples of how she is. 1. She gets mad when I bring friends over to hang out in my room and then complains to my Dad while he's at work complaining about me having friends over and how shes never seen them before. In which I bring them over all the time. if she cared to open her eyes and observe she would know that instead of being ignorant and the first thing coming to mind is tattle on Garrett. 2. How do you expect me to have a girlfriend in this hostile, and unwelcoming environment I live in. You make people feel unwelcome with your bad, hateful vibes. You expect me to have when I can't even bring one home to hangout with, without you getting your mind in the gutter and thinking that my room is a "sex pit." Exact words. I have quotes from previous girlfriends that have said the same exact things about her. Pure Hypocrite right there. Don't make me break it down for you. I mean what really irritates me is that she acts like owns everything, is there seriously not enough room in the kitchen for two people? oh so your the queenie now, oh im sorry your highness I didn't know you were such a bitch. Yet she can come off with the odacity saying what she said. Then continues expell gas and words from that thing on her face she calls a mouth. Telling me to grow up and get a life (which she constantly says because thats all she can come up with as a retort) IF I WAS 19 I WOULD BE DOING THAT STUFF, we'll guess what your not you had your one chance just because you didnt have a joyous childhood or upbringing doesn't mean you can parade around being snobby and bitter for what happened in your shit life. I am not trying to be hateful when I post this stuff about her, I am just hoping that no other form of life such as an innocent child meets her cause she will eat your soul. She is basically a sucubus, and the fakest person you will ever meet. The End

The Want to Create

A lot of people out there want to create something artistically, wether it being a painting, self-portrait, skateboarding, photography, music, etc you get the idea. But there are a lot of people alike inspired and uninspired because everyone is being given and shown the same thing. They are ideas being put out everyday that are unoriginal and
The wolrd needs more people who can think outside the box of standard thinking
Everyone needs to open their eyes and take notes of the world around them and take that into effect. From their personal lives to heartfelt moments to
you can be inspired by anything, anytime, anywhere, you just have to open up your mind to accept it.
I guess the point i am trying put across is that i myself am one of those people who want to create, but due to my nature of being one, lazy at times and a procrastinator its hard to. It's almost like the thing with responsibility where the parents give their child a dog or animal of some sort and have them to take of it to prove them self worthy of being responsible. I have already failed with that, trying to keep up blogging is my pet in a metaphorical sense. I am trying to do better and will do better in the future. This is just the beginning so be prepared to hear a lot more from me because I am not done crowing yet.

This Maybe Contradicting

but I have felt uninspired but inspired at times lately. So that is a reason for lack of updated posts and posts left with one or two words. I am currently editing them with the content that they should filled with. Eventful weekend, some good, some bad. Everything happens for a reason sometimes I guess, things will get better, gotta stay up, stay positive, have hope and look up to the sky. i basically have a new favorite word, "Gregarious." It just sounds cool. Its defined as someone whos in enjoyment of company (socializing) and also like a flock or herd of animals. Anyways you will hear more from me about inspiration in a later post. Thats all for now
