Those tiny things falling from the sky?



Did I forget to post on this blog last Saturday?  yes

Did I forget to post on this blog this Saturday?  sadly yes

BUT- Did I make up for it by providing you with this homemade video?  YES!

The main reason why I didn't post on the blog yesterday (excuses excuses...) was mainly because I was working on this stop action animation video.  It's not exactly professional, but it's blog worthy.

You might be wondering why I'm so happy (can't you notice my smile?).  The reason is because it rained!  Now, if you live in Mobile, Alabama, rain isn't something you rejoice about and post on a blog.  In Texas, there's not much raining going on in the Fall.  When the rain first hit my dry head, I was a little confused.  I thought it was a kid throwing water on me, but I was wrong.  Thank you rain.

I recently discovered that making a film inside a high school isn't as easy as it sounds.  You have an hour and thirty minutes in a class period.  Thirty minutes is dedicated to set up the shot, and mostly get stupid kids to not interrupt the scene.  Another thirty minutes is used to film that one little scene to get it just right and the last thirty minutes is used to put everything away.  We have five class periods to shoot this thing.

On that note, thanks for checking out my blog once again.  I think that it's a good idea to have these cool little videos before the post, just in case I don't have anything too interesting to talk about (i.e- rain).

Have an awesome week, and follow the blog if you haven't already.  If you have any suggestions for the blog, shout them out as loud as you can and maybe I'll hear some.

Adios Mofo

To tell you the truth I had no better title for this post.  I'm not really going to say anything about Rick Perry, but no matter how much I disagree with him, he makes a good exit.

After much thought, and meditation (I'm kidding, everything on this blog is just impromptu, I don't even know what I'm going to say next) I have decided that I will be active on this blog every Saturday.  I know I've had a reputation for starting traditions that I don't carry, but I really don't have time any other day.

So, What's new?  nothing.  I did not capitalize the 'n' because not much has happened since my last post.  But fortunately, my life doesn't have to be exciting to write a blog!  On second thought, it probably does.  On that note, why don't I give you a heads up on what's going on at my school!.

I have signed up for the Audio/Video Productions class at my high-school.  This is great for me, because making movies (short or long) interests me.  I love creating the story and using a camera to get it across.  Right now I am in the middle of my first project: "The Film Festival".  It may sound like this project is serious and film festival worthy, but it's mainly a team building project to get the feel for making a film.  It's basically a movie about a group of kids making a movie.  At first the teacher didn't like the idea of a movie of a movie, mostly because we'd need twice the materials to shoot the scene where we're making the movie, but after looking at our script he was o.k with it.  Hopefully this experience will help me for future projects, and I might post some stuff on this blog!

Anyways, hopefully everybody has an awesome Labor Day weekend and I'll see you next Saturday!

The 'S' word...

Well, it's that time of year again, time for staying up all night studying, last minute art projects, putting up with the kid that sits behind you in history flicking boogers in the back of your head; SCHOOL!  I promised myself I would refrain myself from saying that word the entire summer, but what the heck.  Luckily for me, my school starts at 9:30!!            so I thought

Yesterday I was on a five hour road trip back from Oklahoma, and I got a call from my cross country coach.  As I was listening to the voice mail, I thought I heard something unusual, so I listened again.  The words rang in my car-sick head:  "Be ready on Monday at 6:00-7:00 to start running!"  It was probably the afternoon 6:00, but  I was wrong and that wasn't the worst of it.  I called back to ask about the schedule, and it turns out that every Monday-Friday I'll be up nice and early running.  I love high school.

Well, I hope everybody had a great summer, and hopefully school won't consume all of my life.

Peek-a-boo!

This is my cat. She's on another adventure to the roof of my house. The funny thing with Lucy is that she loves to climb on the roof, but once she's up there she forgets about the getting down part. She has this look in her eyes that says "oh crap". It's that same expression you get when you realize you just forgot something, and in her case it was her memory of the last time this happened. I love my cat.

You know you've turned up your amp too loud when all the bugs living behind it crawl to a new corner. I played one string and at least fifteen bugs crawled out of nowhere. I was afraid they were going to the police to file a noise complaint.

The cool thing about having a blog on Blogger.com is that you can look at how many people have looked at your blog. You can also see which countries have viewed your blog. Of course, Americans have viewed my blog the most because we are the best at everything (except Women's Soccer). But, I want to say thank you to all 77 Russians for making this blog 77 views more popular!

Well I have nothing else to say, except for what I just said and what I am about to say.

Bye

Another day, another post

Did you know, that some bloggers (I think that's what they're called) post stuff on their blog everyday. Also, for some of those people that's their job. Here is their average work day:

-Wake up whenever.
-Turn on their computer.
-Play a couple of games, and look at cats on YouTube.
-Grudgingly go to work. Of course it takes them a whopping five seconds to "go to work".
-Add something to their blog, maybe a picture but if they're really talented they might add a video!
-Shut off the computer
-People actually look at their new material, and unknowingly give that person money

Of course this is an over-exaggeration, but some people make some o.k cash with their blogs. I highly doubt that one can make a living with it, but it's still money. Maybe I should add stupid content to my blog just to make tons of cash... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

But I digress

I am feeling very jealous of myself right now. Did I get a new electronic device? No. Did I get a girlfriend? Sadly no. Did I get anything at all? Technically yes; SUMMER! I get to wake up whenever, do just about whatever and I have forever to do whatever whenever (say that five times fast)!

For kids, having three months of nothing to do is called boring. For adults, having a week of nothing to do is heaven. Most of the summer (so far) I have been doing nothing. Don't get me wrong, because that would just be the end of all humanity if you got me wrong, I've done some pretty cool things over the summer, but on weekdays when the parents are working I've had some trouble entertaining myself.

I've visited exactly twelve web sites on "what to do when you're bored". I'm creative enough to run a blog, but I can't even entertain myself for a day? Well, thank you for pretending that you actually care what I have to say and making me believe that I have followers. If you haven't followed my blog, then maybe you should. It's not a virus or anything. In fact you don't even have to look at my blog, just follow it. please?

Well that's all folks!

Oh I almost forgot! Today's post was brought to you by the letter G.
