Life: Sometimes I miss the old one.

It's 5 am and I'm awake. This happens more often than I would like to admit. I stopped fighting it and just get up to write. This morning, I'm blogging to admit what's up.

I got blasted again for being too active on Facebook. I just started using FB Check In and I might as well be playing Four Square with how often I use it. I just like looking back on my busy weeks and being like, "What the fuck was I doing?" That game is so much more fun when I'm not balancing my checkbook. Anyways, add my Twitter account to the mix and it's a pretty constant stream of "Isaiah" for anyone with a few friends. I'm thinking of cutting back and only using Google+ from now on. It still feels awkward whenever I'm on it though, like I'm being too loud/drunk for a mature party, so we'll see. Either way, I might unplug myself from FB like I did to MySpace. Lame, I know but these days the less people know... the better.

God, my dreams have been crazy. Actually annoying, because all I want to do is sleep. Tonight, Donald Glover and I painted the town red and got in a fight when he broke the gift I bought for a girl. Like I got really mad and I don't even know the kid. The night before that, I was seriously dating a coworker AND before that I was sleeping with an old roommate! Like seriously, vivid dreams... like I ate some whack food before bed, which resulted in dreams! Usually, I'm like... bring it on, but I'm fried and need my rest. Totally fighting off a cold, which I know will hit me this weekend and ruin everything. It's bad, because I don't get sick but when I do... the world ends.

Ok on to the good part. Sometimes I do miss my old life. Like "DAMN, what the fuck happened?" miss'n it. This photo quote I found sums it up basically. I know what happened and only get frustrated with the parts that I could control, which turns out to be a LOT less than I thought. Having these kind of situations in your life are practically unavoidable, but give you cracks which help mold you into an adult. I'm so much more interesting as a person now, because of it. I have perspective, which I hope I never lose. Right now, my life is awesome. If I went back in time and told my 17 year old self that I would be living in the nation's capital. That editing videos is my day job. That photography is my favorite hobby and I'm good at it. That I drink, eat and go out all the time. That I meet a lot of people, I work with awesome creative individuals and that my friends actually rock. I'm pretty sure there would be a mile wide smile across my face. That vision keeps me sane. BUT because inside I'm an emo hipster, I'll give you a moment when I find myself doing something wishing you were by my side. It's when I go grocery shopping. (Twenty bucks she hates grocery shopping and finds this comment stupid...haha)

Augh, another day another dollar. I haven't worked this hard as an editor in a while. It's probably one of the best projects I've ever worked on, just because of the impact it will have. Guess I'm not just here to create pop art for the next generation. I'm here to remind you that life is precious, so live in the moment.

Well, I'm out of here. I'm sorry about the lack of posts. I've got some new music coming soon and a lot of photos to upload. Stay thirsty my friends.

Love & Peace

Video: tsurufoto

Tsuru managed a music blog I followed until he stopped to focus on his photo/video stuff. As it turns out, it's entertaining if you like Suicide Girls. Actually this is a rediscovery, because I stumbled across his first video a while ago. But I'm kind of excited that he stuck with it, because Isabella Misery is something special.

Photo: "White Out"

Stephen Thompson models for Christos Karantzolas's "White Out" series in Schön! 11. It's chilling in a Greek god kind of way. The dude is living marble, but so sharp. Definitely, questions whether the subject makes the image or the photographer?

Ad: Summadayze Colourfornia

I'm not sure what the ad is for... a concert maybe? But if you know how much I love color, then you know why I posted this.

Something about this makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I'm loving life, but I feel ya.

Music: "Drop The Other "

I want to sample the chorus for a rap song. I'd drop everything but the beat and her vocals. This song is kind of sexy.

A Classic Beauty: Anne Baxter

Her charm, attitude and beauty is forever captured by the wonderful films of the 40s. Plus she's clearly the best part of The Ten Commandments.

"Anne Baxter was an American actress known for her performances in films such as The Magnificent Ambersons, The Razor's Edge, All About Eve and The Ten Commandments." -- Wikipedia

"It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes." -- Anne Baxter

Photo: "Through the Looking Glass, Darkly"

I'm not sure if I'm in love with Brendan Zhang's "Through the Looking Glass, Darkly" series or his model, Nastya. Either way it's dark, fun and beautiful. I definitely appreciate it's shady tones of blacks and blues.

Film: FROG CROSSING

I love the simplicity of the colors. Plus the transitions between the scenes fit the concept so well.

Video: "Physique 3D in 2D version NSFW"

They're suppose to be releasing a 3D version, but it's still hot in 2D by my standards.

Music: "Breathe"

The music video I directed is finally live for the public, so check it out. The guys from Ketura have the talent to back it up.

Photo: "WAR"

I'm a fan of Sebastien Vincent's photography. The guy does sharp, colorful and bold, so well. His series WAR is proof of this. What great colors and style. Plus, he makes a video with every photo shoot, which I want to do SO bad.
