Ok, So in retrospect that last blog was mega dark. I think it was raining that day and rain + driving makes me nervous. Also the point of the story was actually to make mention of one of my favorite bands ever and it's weird connection. The band is called Thursday.
Connections with the band...
*We crashed on a Thursday
*I was talking about a dream involving Thursday before the accident.
*They have a song titles "Understanding In A Car Crash"
*Understanding In A Car Crash is the 2nd track on the album. We crashed on the 2nd of the month.
*In 2008 they released their 4th studio album on the anniversary date of our accident
Anyway, those are my nerdy connections to Thursday.
In other news... I saw Gogol Bordello on Friday at the 9:30 club and they once again rocked my socks off. So for your viewing pleasure I present a live video of them in 2006 and a fabulous Music Video. I'll prolly blog more about them again soon. <3<3
So I got a text last night saying I need to update my blog. They're probably the only person to actually read this thing but I'll humor them :)
So instead of rambling about how miserable my life is right now, because I've been pretty blue, I'm going to tell a story.....
It was the morning of May. A Thursday and it had rained the night before. Jen and I where on our way to school, we car pooled to the community college together. I'm going on about my dream to Jen about the band Thursday, seeing them in concert or something when my car hydroplanes. Faster then you can imagine, my jeep veers off the road, plows up a hill into a tree and... being a jeep... rolls down the hill into the middle of the road. The whole thing felt like being in a hurricane. The car lulled to a stop landing on the drivers side and then did the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I called out to Jen, terrified of every millisecond that there was silence. She answered and mild relief splashed over me. Everything smelled like dirt, we where covered in smashed glass and belted in sideways sitting in the middle of the road. No one would approach the car, sure we where dead. After unbelting ourselves and Jen sticking her hands out of car flagging people over to us we where free from the car.
This will be a 2 part story, seeing as I need to go work. I'll finish part 2 on Monday. Enjoy the weekend!
It's been a long time since I blogged, but I felt inspired to pick it back up. I'm always bad at updating these things, lets see if I stick with it this time.
So it's tech week for President Harding Is A Rock Star. We're also doing a Halloween special of Diamond Dead at the Warehouse Theatre Halloween weekend only. Two shows at once is always a tough one and I'm plenty tired. But excited for them, if the sound would cooperate!
So my crafting time has been limited this week because of Harding and Diamond Dead but i have 3 scarves close to completion so not a total loss. Now if only people would buy stuff... It'll happen in time I guess.
So it's been over a week since I checked in but since Panasit is the only one who reads this, and I talk to him almost daily it's not that big of a deal. Anyway the last few days I've been watching the appendices for The Lord of the Rings... They are so full of information and it just makes me more restless. I still have no idea how to go about it all. I've watched all the different department segments and there's so many tasks I'm interested but yet there's no "production" film schools per-say, well none that teach in depth. I don't know if what I'm searching for has past you know, because the brotherhood that was the production staff for Lord of the Rings is disbanded. Granted the production company's still work together just not under such intense circumstances. I need that brotherhood setting to function though... That's what really drives me. I'm not sure what the draw is, if it's still searching for a recreation of that fellowship that makes me desperate to go to New Zealand or if it's Peter Jackson himself and his accomplishments. I don't know if myself I'd want to head such a big production, I just like being a cog in a giant machine, if I'm not there it doesn't work as well, but where all working together. What Peter has achieved for himself and his country is amazing. Oi I keep getting interrupted and its hard to keep a clear thought. Anyway I want so badly to I guess plainly said "make" things props, furniture, costumes, trees, anything but where do I start?
In other news I've come to terms with myself and "him." What Panasit has told me was true, I deserve someone who wants to pay attention to me and talk to me and actually be with me instead of just constantly saying "we should hang out this week." So I'm locking my heart up again and looking only forward as I try and make something out of myself. Maybe being career driven is a cop out as Jason said but for now it's what I want. I'll take the fear and unknow of where my career path will take me over the fear and sadness of if a guy "likes" me.
