This life and whats in it.


I have been busy filming new projects and getting through this semester of school. I have hit a point where i am beginning to get burned out on school again. I think i can make it through but you never know whats going to happen in this life. Recently I went down to Utah to visit my brother Abe and his family and also to go to a festival in Salt Lake called Crucial Fest which was put on by Exigent Records. I had a great weekend and enjoyed seeing my niece and enjoyed seeing some fantastic bands! here is a little bit of what my trip consisted of:

The time from then to now...

It's been awhile since i have written a new blog. A lot has happened since the last post but noting really dramatic. I have finished another semester at college and i am off until January. Since I have been out of school it has been a time to catch up on movies that have come out in the past few weeks/months. I finally saw Thor, X-men: First Class, Harry Potter 7 pt. 2, and a few others to get me started. I still have a lot more to see this summer.  Not much is going on right now since the town is dead since all the students have left town. This time of year is amazing because of the break. Its a little warm but the green all around is amazing! I need to start filming more things too. I have a lot of free time and i am just sleeping most of it away. Hopefully i can keep things up to date. But for my final in one of my classes i had to give a personal ethic statement, so i wrote a poem. Here that is:

Who will I become or will I just settle for what this world
Expects of me. If I cared about their thoughts I wouldn’t
Be the man I am today. Oh the things the world would have
Me do. To diminish the life of another because of a choice
They freely make? Much was the same for the Founders
Of this land. Freedoms ring but only for those who meet
The expectations of the Greens that rule this wretched world.
No one gives a damn about the child crying in the street
Who has dreams of a Mother and Father to love them and to be
Understood by those around watching the crystalline tears falling
From her cheeks.

So we don’t allow children to have dreams? Dreams will
be crushed And just like rivers, we rush the lives of the children,
leaving them  dying in this pain filled world Where Green is God.
We complain about the circumstances but continue to send glass
children out to shatter in the streets because of the first sight
of failure all hope is lost.

There is no tolerance for free thinkers or a new genius
unless it makes Kings stronger with every slipper green
bill sliding into their abyss Like pockets. They say
we need money to survive, which is true.
But do not define our children’s lives by their worth in cash.
We are not crops. We have worth and morals to keep us alive
and progressing  towards the heavens.
The media wants our children to be lab rats.
To do what they are told like zombies in an uncontrollable apocalypse.
We choose our lives.We choose what we want to define who we are.

The truth is not what we hear but what we seek after
and find out for ourselves. How many days must go
by before the dark curtains are lifted from the eyes
of all of those who surround us pleading for help?
We must stand for truth, justice, and act for ourselves,
 instead of blaming others for our own insecurities.


The truth is what is lacking for many in this world.
They continue to think deceit is descant. Knowingly
Knowing what the consequence will be we lie.
How can we stop this? With truth! Nixon felt
He was clever and would never get caught, as
Did Judas but both lived a fate they never planned.
Liars will lie and those who choose to stand for something
Will sniff them out like a bloodhound in the muddy bogs
Of a hunt.

We can not tolerate pride of a generation who stands in our
Way of justice and freedoms paid for in blood. You are being
Charged to become beacons to the rest of the world and blind
Those who are not looking down on us. Find something to believe
In, whether it be someone or yourself. Be absolute with your choices
And have those choices bring forth fruit and spring a well to
Those searching for truth.
