Really, It’s Me

So my brother Jordan, lives in Washinton, D.C., our nation’s capitol. Well, they’re about to be hit by the biggest snowstorm in years… He’s making a joke about it, and it’s even being satorialized on area blogs like The Wonkette. Man, all this buzz and general jolly attitude just gets me giddy for some reason! They’re about to be pelted and destroyed and they’re getting psyched up like it’s a party. I can’t wait to hear all the buzz to come out of this one, stories like this just get me. Anyway, just so you know, be ready for pictures from my brother and such.

Also, follow these hashtags tonight and this weekend, if you will:

• #snowmageddon
• #snowpocalypse
• #weatherswaronchristmas
• #dcblizzard

COMPLETED.

That was the “Say Something Stage.” Turns out it went really well. I can’t say better than expected, because I expected it to turn out exactly like it did. I only wish now I had a better plan to proceed. The Intentional Stage and all that needs to be next, but being me, I tend to think a lot and I don’t want to be a nuisance, you know? Sigh, where’s the win in this? I know what I want… Why can’t it be that easy? Or is it?

COMEPLETED!

You all will have no idea what I’m talking about to be sure… but I’m transitioning into the next stage of my life. I’ve completed Stage 2 at this point… before I’ve even completed Stage 1. We had a great time at LifePoint’s Christmas parties, which were both awesome. Saw some jugglers and cool tricks this past week at the Next Gen volunteer party, and then again at the staff party we had a great time playing white elephant and eating some grub/deserts. Jolly!

Anyway. Mental note of this stage. Swish. Count it.

So for a school project in my TV Production class, we had to take a topic and make an instructional video on it. Me, Philip Elliott, and Riley Vasquez chose shot composition and made this joke-filled video. Weighing in right at 10:30, it’s a quick watch that will make your movies look awesome. If you don’t care about knowing anything about our professor, skip to the 4:00 mark!

Take a look, and see what I’m doing in school this semester.

I wrote a paper in my Woody Allen film studies class, and I figured I’d share it with you all. If you’d be willing to read it, have a look, and maybe think about things, because they’re WAY interesting.

If you haven’t finished Match Point yet (and I can think of at least one person in particular!), don’t download and read this. Otherwise… enjoy!

Imagine a cute, little puppy dog. Imagine it running around the living room, or maybe out in the backyard… how the fur moves and the saliva drips from their mouth sometimes. Imagine how real that dog is. Think about it running and jumping over the fence in the yard. That’s real, right?

Now imagine if monsters were that real! Imagine that same realness you just perceived of the puppy dog and imagine all that on a hairy monster jumping over your backyard’s fence and running across your yard. Wouldn’t that just be the scariest thing in the world? I’m so glad monsters aren’t real.
