Strawberry Fields

Peter's Principle #3: "Never invest in any idea you can't illustrate with a crayon."

I've spent the hours that I ride the bus back and forth from work reading books mostly about finance. This is probably one of the best quotes from this year's reading list. I just wanted to put it out there.

Lately I've had trouble writing my notes. I've been too tired. To unfocused on the simple things. I miss it. Putting my ideas down for myself to read later. I documented so much of my college life. So I thought why not continue. Why not prove how much I suck. I'm so emo.

Football. (Sorry I'm just not that into baseball) Fantasy Football is not my friend right now. I'm in two leagues and I'm choking. Also it was slightly annoying that Payton Manning was in that many commercials last year but now this year. Its just beyond stupid annoying. TOO MANY!! Seriously, I will refuse to buy products that he promotes. Besides Tom Brady is Jesus.

I just want to say to that pretty girls make the world go round. I just want to thank you for brightening my classes, bus rides and web surfing. If you are a pretty girl pat yourself on the back. If you used to be. Well....shit happens. Get over it.

Have you noticed on the classic Star Trek episodes that the women are smoking hot. Maybe its just the lightening but I'm usually impressed. I mean seriously the original Star Trek is about frat guys in space, but wow...to be Kirk with all those hot mamas.

Does anyone have great stories about their perfect one night stands? I'm writing a short film about it. Hopefully I will get to make it for class. Come on someone be my MUSE!

I'm thinking about switching my cell phone plan from AT&T to Verizon. Please let me know if you have Verizon or not cause who I call the most will play a major factor. Oh...and my current phone is broken. I can't answer calls. So leave a message or text me. Right now my best form of contact is Facebook. Isn't that sad.

Well I had lunch at Chipotle with an old friend last week. It was good to see her since it had been a couple of years. The conversation was more questions and answers then anything else. I guess its something I should expect. Its about catching up and not so much experiencing life together. How are things? Good I guess. I thought about how it would have gone if we were both single. I'm sure something about meeting up later would have been offered. A chance to walk down memory lane, yet in that moment. It didn't cross my mind. We're truly friends.

I like how I tried to go to bed at 1am and then Cowboy Bebop comes on. Great. Now I have to stay up and watch this. So irresponsible. I stay up too late, therefore I am tired.

I'm upset with some of my ex girlfriends right now. You guys are not taking care of yourselves or playing like champs and its making me look bad. Most guys appreciate it when another guy points out a chick and you're like yeah I used to date her and he high fives you. It's not a good thing when people find out that we used to date and they laugh at me. Claiming that I lost respect points with them or that I have no taste in women.

Reason #42 - She's the kind of girl you can bring home to mom.

For all you haters out there. You don't get it. I get along with her. I want spell it out for you but I think its a waste of my time. You're too quick to judge and I shouldn't point out your flaws. Its unfair. In the end...what you think really doesn't weigh much. It's a relationship between two people. Not 400.

My birthday is less then a month away. I'll be 24. Peace.


PS> When I heard about the news. All I wanted to do was give you a hug. The world seems too small these days. How fragile we are, yet I see brother you are strong. My prayers are with you.

Welcome my October

"Spock's Beard - A slang expression used mostly by Star Trek fans to indicate a concept that's so outlandish as to belong to another, warped universe. The term originates with the episode Mirror, Mirror of the Star Trek original series, where four Enterprise officers are exchanged with their counterparts in an alternate universe; the alternate version of Spock has a goatee." - Wikipedia

On Sunday, in the background I had a NFL game playing loudly. The announcer said something I thought I would never hear. "Next week...they play the undefeated Green Bay Packers." I was instantly sent into shock. I guess hell will be freezing over soon and I thought, "Spock's beard!"

Well this is the part where I suck it up and die trying. I've been too busy. Like at the point where you miss family events and stand people up who you were supposed to meet with weeks ago. I wake up sore and tired these mornings. Even right now I'm sore. Thanks to a diving interception I had at football practice last saturday my knees are killing me. I'm not sure Pi Kapp Mountain Day is a good idea, so I may need to train this week. Fellas, we're getting old and its only a sign that I cannot let my foolishness get the best of me.

I just want to say that the Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon gags have been hilarious. I love them so much. Such boyish humor.

NEW MUSIC MONDAY: Well sort of. I'm a little slow. Feist, you know the woman from the nano ipod commericals. "1...2..3..4..?" Well, thanks to MTV2 I saw the music video months ago and loved it. Music videos filmed in one take are the best. I LOVE Feist. She's bringing sexy back to Canada. Her music is amazing. Basically she is doing her own thing and rocking at it. But seriously "Let It Die" is one of those albums you should have bought like two years ago. My favorite song right now is "One Evening" and I've been watching the music video on repeat. I'm even writing a script based off the music video! Wow that's crazy! Yeap, so go buy here new album, "The Reminder." You won't be disappointed.

I shot another film this past weekend. 16mm black & white. Once again the reasons to shoot with video out weigh the reasons to shoot with film. I'm sure everything will come out great, but when you are shooting action packed Pakour chase scenes you need more then two cameras! Film is expensive video is not.

Well, today is the 11 month anniversary of my relationship with my girlfriend. Pretty soon I will have to buy her something expensive and still have to take her out to dinner. Oh what fun. We celebrated this morning over microwaveable breakfast sandwiches with OJ and toast. Honestly, it doesn't feel like its been 11 months. I'm having too much fun. I was looking back at my past relationships wondering why they couldn't break the 3 month barrier. I guess it takes two to tango and when one party is just not that interested in a relationship, people get bored and leave. You got to want to seriously try. I guess I'm just looking forward to simpler days where the bull shit of being young doesn't affect the morals of others. Right now I'll just continue to enjoy her company and input in my life. Life is too short to make things complicated and she's perfectly simple enough for me. I hope I am for her.

Let's go Titans.

Peace.
