So we’ll see how long this rambles on…
In no particular order:
A little over a month ago at my grad party, I had the enormous please of forming a band with the incredibly talented Mike Voldemort, the amazingly sexy Tony B, and the wonderfully gifted, but still very Mexican Victor Valdez. We called ourselves AquaFox, and after the first week, Victor left the band.
Not important. Either way, AquaFox is thriving now with Adriano taking my old place and me taking Vic’s old place. Recording is happening soon, and I can’t wait to get it out to people.
On another note, I’ll be moving, probably within the next month to East Chicago to live with my homeboy Victor, we’ll be straight up Fred and George in this bitch.
I’ve decided I want to do as much as I can, art-wise. I want to be in this band and write stories and make zines, but most importantly, I have declared my major! Well, I’ve really only declared it to myself, but either way…
I wanna be a film major! There’s something about film as a medium that has always intrigued me. I’ve loved doing the small films that I do with Tony, and I really only see there being more to come. I just dropped some dollars on a firewire port for my laptop so I can shoot using MiniDV camcorders, so obviously I’m serious about this, right? I want to go to Columbia for film, and I really really hope that doesn’t fall through.
Also, I’ve recently come up with an idea for a movie, and I’m not sure if it will end up being an actual movie or a short film, but I’m excited about the concept.
Also, I’ve gotta start helping with another movie/project, but it’s top secret and I can’t talk about it.
Things on the home front are kinda terrible, to be honest.Things between my parents have gotten worse, and it looks like it’s to the point where a divorce is the only option. I’m tryin’ not to worry about it too much for a few reasons.
One: I have a lot to focus on as it is, and I know that sounds kinda selfish, but it’s true.
Two: I know, in the long run, this will be better for everyone.
I guess I really only had two reasons on that one.
School is starting up now, and it seems that everyone I know will be heading back, except me. I don’t regret it, though, to be honest. It’ll cost just as much next year as it would this year, but in this year I’ll be able to do so much. Play shows with the band, work/make some money, go to shows, make videos, write some stuff, learn some stuff, ride my bike a lot, there’s just a ton I can do.
The future as of right now seems kinda scary, but at the same time, I welcome it.
