Beat the cost of dying - Buy your casket online! →
My favorite part of this is the user review. “We buried Uncle Joe in this casket last Spring. You won’t go wrong on this one. Beautiful ebony exterior, and luxurious velvet within. And roomy? Heck yes! Uncle Joe was not a small man, by any means. But we were able to fit him and three cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon (his favorite) into the casket without any problem whatsoever. In fact, I...

This is why I like Vimeo rather than youtube. Look at that aspect ratio! Very impressive. You would never get to see something like this the tube.

A Perfect [WED] evening.
Getting off from work while the world is still asleep and going to my balcony, throwing some tunes into my headphones and digging up some ideas for movies and bumperstickers.
Ok so I watched Deliverance.
… it reminded me of this movie. It was pretty messed up, but its not to be missed. Check it out!
Call me a baby if you want...
…but I watched “We Are Marshall” last night and, as campy as it got at points, I cried like a baby at the end. I’m a sucker for a good sports-drama, and if you know what happened to that team, it just cranks the emotion up. You should also know I was watching this by myself. I wonder if this helped with the waterworks….
I felt like such a dork. Anyways, Tonight...

WatchMy view from 5pm to 6pm. I love my new place.
Goals for a Wednesday night.
1. Finish and upload 2nd Timelapse video I shot the day after the “White Lines” one.
2. Get a good chunk of editing done on “The Fish Video.”
3. Sleep before the sun comes up.
Since I work in post-production, It can be hard sometimes to fill my time off with sitting in front of another computer.
I’ll let you know if it goes well or if it ends up like this....

Meat Puppets=todays pop-culture atmosphere
One of Nirvana’s inspirations was the band Meat Puppets. And the Vasolines. I really want to get into the music that inspired my favorite band. Its kind of like dissecting a movie and seeing what it means. I think if I starting listening to the music Kurt Cobain listened to when he was writing his music, I think I would be taking my understanding of nirvana to a more real level. It would kind of...

Green Notebook
Today, as I often do, I was looking through an old green notebook that I used to write in randomly (and sometimes still do). Sometimes I would just jot notes for work, but more often, I would write privately as one would in a journal. In addition to private rants, I would also write about other mundane or otherwise-non-private items. But there they were, being all private and hidden away in my old...
