Chicago is finally realizing it needs to be summer. High of 80 today. It's 7:45am and there is a car alarm going off right outside my window. Let's get naked and dance in the streets.

So a squirrel chased me inside today. A tiny squirrel. Before you laugh, you should know that the last people that laughed at me for it, were the people that were walking by on the sidewalk, and he quickly went for them too, causing them to scatter. He was a squirrel full of rage and would not listen to me as I told him "Baby...

It seems like the more money that is spent on a film, the more fucktardary I have to deal with on set. Although I do wish I had a picture of us pulling a white wooden door out of a dumpster and putting it on c-stands to act as a bounce card...That was pretty badass.

Not badass: Getting stuck on prop gun wrangling duty. Not...

Apparently I am in demand these days which feels pretty good. I have been getting calls to work on other people's films every weekend. The past weekend I had to choose. I ended up doing a music video with my friend Pete for this band called Rosaline. They are one of those poppunk/screamo bands with some breakdowns and vague lyrics. Their songs are decently catchy...

Sure fire way to turn something sexy into something ridiculous.

Step 1: be obviously high or drunk when a girl comes over.
Step 2: get your first nosebleed in two years, while eating her out.
Step 3: Sit back with blood all over your face and her looking worse than post-period fuck, put a kleenex in your nose, and go back to work.
Step 4:...

Holy shit. Just got a call that the film I shot just won first place in it's second festival. So far we have won Best Picture at every festival the movie has shown at. So excited!

People apparently love it and maybe you would to!

In a way I gave up my spring break. The day after it started I was on a rooftop till 1am setting up lights. I'm working on an incredibly ambitious film that two grad students from my school are making. We are using an incredibly complicated camera for the first time to pull of ridiculous stuff. This pretty much means that we wrap about 4-6...

I am almost home free from school. I have only to score two films and then I am done. Now I just need some inspiration. One is a promotional video and the other is the famous stairway scene from Battleship Potemkin. Putting on Stravinsky and grabbing my keyboard now. Time to make some motherfucking music.

Well it was a rough start, but it has been a good birthday. I managed to see all the wonderful people I have been missing, and finish off copious amounts of booze, beer and wine. Celebrations were had. And now I must try and recover. But at least I have pretty things to look at.

Ah It's my birthday. 22 is possibly the most unexciting year ever. It's the first year that you have to face the fact that you gain nothing. There are no new benefits. So just keep spinning up that vinyl for me and give me some King Cobra. I plan to keep shakin' and dodging my way through this junk.
