this is exactly why i came to brooklyn college. to make films. i am so pumped. i'm more than halfway done with outlining my whole project. and the more i think about it the more i want to put in it, it's just been evolving by the minute. i told myself before this semester, i am gonna kick ass in film production. i am gonna make the best fucking film i can possibly make. and why not. i don't want to be a filmmaker just for shits and giggles. i want to make the best possible films i can. why not you know. jacob burns two years ago, one of my film mentors saw that i was having trouble in the editing process. he told me, "just make the coolest shit you can think of, it's yours". ah yes. this is the real deal. this is anything i want. and i'm doing it. "just do what you love, and fuck the rest". nothing else matters at this point. these days life just tastes a little bit sweeter. i can't wait to make this thing. hopefully filming will start within the next two weeks i want to jump right into it. be well.

so for my film production class we have to make a short with no dialogue and shoot it on actual film. i have sort of an idea what to do. it involves two skateboarding gangs with matching outfits. i want it to be like tragic as fuck, and i want like the only narration to come from abstract messages on a sign made by a homeless guy. influences include kids, a clockwork orange, and requiem for a dream. i am pumped. its gonna be sick.

don't you, forget about me. no don't, don't, don't, don't. tuesday i get the internet hooked up. full time LIAHs coming back. i hope everyones doing well in school. i've got my acting class monday. gonna kick some thespian ass. being that i watch a shitload of films, and i want to do this for a career, it would only make sense that i should know a thing or two about acting. may i remind you all, 3rd grade musical. who was the lead? leo the lion? yeah thats right yours truly. and for those who have good memories, yes i shared it with lauren bernstein. and yes she got to do the fucking performance that was on tv. but there was 3 performances. and i did 2 of them. so they needed me to hold it down. and i did. while we're on the subject, i am very disappointed about these oscar nominations. the dark knight, no best picture, ridiculous. the wrestler, no best picture, ridiculous. bruce springsteen, no best original song for the wrestler, ridiculous. nolan or aronofsky, no best directing? ridiculous. all i know is if heath ledger doesn't win best supporting actor, even though he will guaranteed, i will riot. same with rourke for best actor. cheers.

FLATBUSH. BROOKLYN. lot of pride there. what else. i'm taking an acting class next semester. kind of excited about that. being that i'm gonna be a filmmaker acting is important as well, and i always considered myself quite the thespian. 3rd grade anyone? who was the lead in the school play, leo the lion? yeah that was me. i kicked ass, and i took names. its how i live my life.

This break has been pretty fucking long. A bit too long. I'm kind of ready to go back to Brooklyn. But hey, its gonna be like another 2 weeks. Might as well make the most of it. I'm lining up my next occupation for the semester. It's all preliminary, but could turn out nicely. so far what have i learned this winter break, a man's best friend is his beard. i'm definitely ready to take on my second semester. lets do it.
