i’m going to delete this blog so go here!
oh crap it’s tuesday. again.
i went to choose a title and i was going to do something along the lines of Oh…and i already had one that i’ve used before that came up in my auto-complete so decesion made.
Lessons.
i found this. and i love it.
#3 is most applicable to me. When i read this i was like. YES! yes, making mistakes is okay and yes, having no idea what i’m really doing is okay. i’m doing it, i’m doing something.
Update this week.
1. I edited my short script.
2. i woke up this morning feeling like i was hit by a mac truck
3. spring is coming to new york city
4. i have a paying gig to film someone’s first vlog post. I will post the finished project here.
5. i finally took a class on the iMovie software and i don’t want to brag, but i totally impressed the guy with how much i had figured out on my own.
This next week. what will i do…what will i do…my hope is to have a final draft of my script and then to start storyboarding/shot listing the script and casting so hopefully, the last weekend of february i can film it. It’s also the week leading up to my birthday so my goal is to not have a nervous breakdown about turning 25 and still working at a big coffee corporation that will remain unnamed.
What do you think about the picture posted above? Which number can you relate to most?
and the beginning of another month.
February 1st.
fun fact of the month. i’m turning 25 on the 20th.
Growing up. i’ve been thinking about this a lot. i’ve been thinking about how i got to where i am and where i want to go in the future and how i’m going to get there. in this train of thought i’ve been thinking about how when your younger it seems like everybody is invested in your future. everybody is willing to help you get to college, pass the test, but then there comes a time in one’s adult life where you realize that the large group is gone.
Not in the sense that i don’t have people supporting me, but in the sense that i should have my life figured out by now. that i should be in some career already, on the track to get married. But here i am turning 25, and i feel the same about the rest of my life as i did at 16, actually i feel less uncertain about the future than i did when i was 16.
So here i am an adult. it’s official. i’ve got bills, obligations and back pain. I really never thought i would grow up, i never thought i’d make it this far. i never really thought past my 21st birthday. for some reason i didn’t think what life would be like.
Now i’ve got to find the strength inside myself to make my dreams come true. i don’t have a coach helping to make it to the Olympics, i don’t have a school system helping me to figure out what i would like to do with forever.
It’s just me and the future. It will become what i make it. no excuses, i can’t point fingers.
Therefore, here i go. This month I WILL edit and shoot my short film. I will have to change some things around, because it was originally set during christmas. but i’m going to do it, even if it sucks.
February will be a month full of life and not missed opportunities.
Where did you think you would be? Are you where you want to be in life?
oh crap it’s tuesday. again.
i can sum up how my whole month of january has been.
“oh crap it’s…”
i seriously cannot believe it’s going to be february in a week. i have done nothing productive this month. what happened where did it go? i’m turning 25 in less than a month and what do i have to show for my 2011 so far?
NOTHING.
This will change.
Today and now.
stupid copyright laws.
okay. so i thought that youtube would do this to my video…so that means that i will replace the audio and have it up tomorrow. in the meantime. eat a cookie.
Happy New Year.
Last year was my first year in New York City. It was a year that i had no expectations for going into it. It was a year i produced my first short film. it was a year filled with new friends coming and going. it was filled with a lot of things. but 2010 is done and now out with the old and in with the new!
This year. I predict amazing things will happen this year. Something big is coming, i’m not quite sure what it is or when it will happen, maybe it won’t even happen to me, but something is going to happen. 2011 will not be a dull year. I don’t have a lot of plans for this next year, except do something big. fulfill a dream. i’m tired of waiting around for life to find me. I’m jumping in, this year will be filled with adventure, i’m sure of it. I’m turning 25 this year, and i’m terrified.
where will 2012 find me? there’s only one way to find out. i’m going to chuck norris 2011. get ready NYC. you ain’t seen nothing yet.
p.s. Anyone have any resolutions?
things have changed.
i am now the proud owner of a macbook pro. which means that all my dreams have come true! THANKS MOM! but what it really means is that i’m going to be learning final cut pro and putting up wicked awesome video’s. but it might be a while because i have to learn everything about final cut pro.
i’m not posting a video today because i’m posting one on christmas. well…christmas eve. it’s like a virtual christmas card to my family, but i’m going to share it with you!
so until next week…Merry Christmas!
for my mom. and autumn.
okay. so remember when i said i would be posting every tuesday. and then i didn’t. good story. now here’s why.
1. i’ve been working on my first short film script. (i need to re-read it right now)
2. i’ve been trying to get together stuff for christmas (i’m sending a video card to my family in oregon)
3. i got lazy.
but i’m back!
Next week i promise there will be some sort of video or you can punish me in someway.
also, i went to my first ever roller disco skating party and I FORGOT MY VIDEO CAMERA. i didn’t even think that i should tape it. that’s where my mind’s been.
goal before the end of the year.
film my short film. whether it gets edited or anything is another story.
my question.
did you miss me?
