I feel that I must take this time to comment about life lately. First: It has been really good, not just for me, but for the people around me (which makes it worth it on a grander scale). I've had time to rekindle a bond with a best friend, which is proving to be not just a step, but a giant hurdle in the direction of the future I've sought in film. I've lost my apartment in Florida, and in the process, I've travelled back to Florida with some great friends, ate a bologna sandwich upon entering the state, partied like I never had for the last two days that I had my place, swam in the ocean during a lightning storm in the middle of the night, had the time of my life and shared it with great people, felt welcomed, shamelessly puked on a perfectly clean carpet, and finally got to date that crazy sheep girl that I had such a crush on in high school. Yeah, I said it. Love ya, Max. Anyway, I only wanted to express that I am appreciative of all this. It seems that it is all coming together. The film, the friends, the love...the life, and admittedly a few beers/cigars/hot dogs a little while ago. Totally not ashamed, by the way. I only wonder what tomorrow will have ready for us. It'll be a good day. We have the camera, we're gonna go camping, the film is falling into place...and I'm gonna go drink some water right now so that I'm not surly and hung-over for the whole thing. Side note: A sample of the worst acting ever performed in the history of our planet can be simply viewed while watching the original Night of the Living Dead. It's terrible, and hilarious at the same time. Yep.
