It feels great to be in Chicago again. I feel really free here, especially since I'm not here for school. It's just the city and I. It's a really natural place for me. I'm kinder, sharper, I relate to people better, the women aren't mean here. Chicago is happy world. An escape, yet at the same time, real. I go back to Austin and am not too excited ( Read more... )

Originally I filmed a scene in my new short movie "Rough Rider" where a character is shot in the neck but I decided not to use it because it wasn't too original and I didn't get enough shots to make a good edit. (The replacement scene I filmed for it is awesome and you'll see it when it comes out.) Anyway, I decided to go ahead and have some fun ( Read more... )

What kind of people use car accidents or anything bad to feed their ego? Off to Dark Knight at the IMAX again, not exactly going to be how I planned it but when you see the Dark Knight, the part where Bruce drives his sports car under the el tracks (filmed in Chicago), that's where I did my valet work in heavy, heavy snowfall.

my new film, has been hard to put together. For some reason casting has been difficult. Lots of drop outs.

I'll get it done but it's been difficult. I guess "Shotgun!" was a case of ( Read more... )

I hope one day the whole "that's gay" will stop. To me that's like saying nigger. It's so trashy and disrespectful, associating gays with something lousy or lame.

My parents aren't too hip on my lack of motivation for school. My friends probably think it would be a bad idea to not go either. But it shouldn't be mistaken for arrogance, it's a scary time and usually I'm alone on everything but that's how it is. It's just ironic because I learn so much outside of school, more so than I do in school. I write ( Read more... )

I found out the fireworks were at 9:30 pm, not 8:30 pm, so I hopped on my skateboard and went to see if I could catch the #20 downtown. I wanted to go to Erin and I's secret place to watch (she's out of town) but on the way I ran into my cousins who live in my neighborhood. They were heading downtown and I jumped in the car with them. We went to ( Read more... )

Things haven't been superb with my plans lately. My first shoot for my movie was planned for Sunday at Taco Xpress but that's most likely not going to happen because G's mom had a stroke Thursday night. He went down to South Padre where they're from to take care of her. He said he probably won't be back in time. We'll move the date but it's ( Read more... )
