The website is officially here!!! it took a long time of procrastinating and staring at an empty page. Since I did the site on my Mac, I really couldn’t make it look like the original drawings i made a while back. It doesn’t really matter, as long as I got it started. The website features all of the projects I am currently working on and more pages will be coming soon. The main reason for this site is to display all of my ideas and the progress of them. I will “try” to upload new items everyday so I can keep people entertained. Other than that School is a little over a quarter done and my filmmaking skills are increasing. My first project for class didn’t come out as I expected but that’s the beauty of film. It can look a certain way but I can always say “I purposely made it look like that as the director” haha we’ll there’s some more cool stuff going on this week so I’ll try and keep you readers posted as I am usually awake 21 hours a day lol
K BYYYEEEEEEEEE

Baseball season is here, I can smell it =)

Spring time is here ladies and gents. To me that means baseball season is at hand, and the Mets will be taking Citi Field soon enough. I’m really looking forward to the beginning of this season because most people know how devastating the Mets season was last year. For the past 5 years i’d start off loving the Mets and hustling to be in front of a tv or at the field for every game but my hope for the team would eventually fall off. I really didn’t know why but I hope to change that this year. So I just wanted to say that I will be attending opening day at Citi to see the Mets take on the Marlins and hopefully this year I can hold on to being a true fan of the New York Mets. K BYEEEEE

New Hobbies are Cool in 2010 lol

I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph. That’s a line from this Paul Simon song I grew up on called Kodachrome. I say that because I recently picked up a new hobby, photography. I’m not the flash in the pants picture taker and I don’t believe i’ll ever take a class or anything to improve my skill. The sole idea came to me when I would just see something in my mind would look cool and just take a phone picture of it. Of course what I saw in my head didn’t come out nearly to what I wanted on a camera photo.
I knew I just had to get another camera to use so I scooped up a Nikon camera and called a friend up and said, “dude this city has so many random places I haven’t seen and I want to take pictures of them” He was all for it so one weekend we just went to different neighborhoods and started shooting away. Turns out, my friend i’m shooting with has an amazing eye plus his camera was a lot more expensive than mine lol but I was seriously impressed.
Now, last week I come to one of my first filmmaking classes and we are discussing why are we in film school? So the convo went on and when it was our teachers turn to speak he said “ALL FILMMAKERS NATURALLY HAVE THE HOBBY TO TAKE PICTURES” so he encouraged everyone in the class to get a camera and just start taking photos. Immediately after class I called my boy and told him about what my teacher just said and we had been taking pictures for the past few weeks prior to this. Of course I got excited as I always do about something cool like that but who would of thought that about filmmakers because that’s exactly what I want to do.
I thought that was just a little something cool to share about what’s been going on lately. Now the weather will start to be nice again and darker a little later so don’t be surprised if you are in the city and see a large blackmaiin with a tiny camera strapped around his neck skippinG around, it’s just me with one of my new hobbies having fun on my free time.
K BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

New School, New Chapter, NEW DREAMS!

It’s been a while (Aaron Lewis voice from Staind) since I last posted something. I really have to get back to the blogging on a constant bases but things have been hectic over here for the most part. A lot of cool things have/are going on from my first day of filmmaking classes to the 4 day birthday celebration extravaganza. Once again I want to give a special shout out to the people who contributed to an excellent weekend and who are involved with my liiiife. The people I am constantly around and who I talk to almost every day have a huge part to do with my motivation and inspiration of creating films and television shows.
I understand that I have a very very long way to go from where I want to be. It’s cool to be doing this now after figuring out mostly about myself because I can’t establish anything until I know what I want and who I am. The coolest thing about going to film school now is that I get a chance to work with people from all over the world who have the same dreams and ambition as I do. Maybe one of us will be the next film god and go on to create horror, action, sports, drama films because everyone has to start somewhere.
That’s all for now, I promise “as I always say” that i’ll be trying to keep up with the posts because the lord knows I LOVE to write but the blog is a non-paying job to do so of course i’ll shy away from it time to time. Stick with me people, i’m going on to do great things and if things don’t go as I plan in years to come i’ll know that i’ve had a hell of a ride =)

K BYEEEEEEE

Path 2 The Draft

Now here we go again. Yes everyone the film is still in production. There have been a lot of questions from people asking if the film was still going to happen and the answer is YES. It has been over a month since we taped anything because of schedules and location differences etc. but we’re going to finish this film as long as it’s on my watch. I’m currently down in Tampa, Florida soaking up some sun and getting to see first hand what it takes to prepare for the NFL Combine. I’ll say one thing, if you are trying to advance to the next level in anything you have to understand what sacrifice is. I mean it’s dedication and will consume your life in order to learn and perform/work with the best. I think it’s great for DC because he gets to work with a retired NFL quarterback Steve DeBerg who literally “knows his shit” haha. As I said before, this film is completely different than anything that has been done before. If it hits national screens I just want to be the one to entertain and show what kind of effort it takes to be a leader at one of the most prominent positions in sports. When I said that this documentary was going to be done by May, I didn’t have the slightest clue of what I was talking about lol. Perfection takes time and I am putting all of my heart into my work here so I wont disappoint.
Well anyway, within the next 3 weeks we have my moving in to the new apartment day, my birthday and my first day of classes. I can’t ever take on too much and thats the truth. “basically i’m complicated, I have a hard time taking the easy way” haha yeasth. Well i’ll get back on when I get a chance...K BYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEE!
