Where? I'm Low On Gas And You Need A Jacket

New York City that's where!! For those of you who haven't heard yet, I'm leaving "The City" of San Francisco in search of greater opportunities. A month from now I'll be in New York City sleeping on a friend's couch, looking for a place to call my own, and hustling hard to find the next film editing opportunity. If the last year has taught me anything it's that filmmaking, with editing in particular, is where my passion truly lies. Although if you've known me for any of the last 6 years you probably already had that figured out.
I've called SF home for the last 6+ years and I'll admit I'm going to miss it a lot but on the other hand it's time to move on and really go after my dreams (and yes, I realize that sounds corny, suck it). Not to worry though, I'll always be a California boy. And to all you California peoples, at some point you better get your asses back east and visit Melanie and I.

And yes, once I'm in NYC, Chris Iversen and I do intend to finally get around to making the long awaited music video for the Man Fest Destiny song, Alcatraz.

Happy Thanksgiving/The Onion has never been more right on

Here's an article from the onion that one of my roommates found. This happens every year, no matter what bar you go to.

This has to be a sign of the appocolapse, or maybe people just suck

Last night I had the unfortunate luck of seeing something on TV that is just too amazingly moronic to not dedicate an entire post to. The show is called Rockband Battle (or something close to that) and it's on (not surprisingly) MTV. And yes, it IS a show based on the video game Rockband. I changed the station after only 2 minutes but what I saw was so ridiculously idiotic that I felt sick, confused, hell I was straight up baffled. For those of you who hopefully never come across this atrocity, I'll tell you a little of what I saw in that 2 minutes.
What I saw was "members/contestants of a "band" (and I use that term very lightly here) practicing their "skills/moves/performances" as they prepare for the big show. This was inter- cut with close ups of these... (I won't say retards because that's not fair to mentally handicapped persons) it was close ups of these complete morons talking about how they just want to go out there and show a crowd what they can do. As if they are actually playing real instruments. The whole band was acting like they were really going to "rock it" on stage. That made me gag. Then some douche bag with a braided goatee walks out and begins to give these fuck-heads pointers on how to really rock a crowd. That was bad but not as bad as seeing RZA from WU-TANG walk out next and couch them on how to take it to the next level. Come on, how far has the WU-TANG really fallen that RZA needs to be involved in this puddle of oozing stupidity. I understand going after a pay check but come on, that may be going a bit too far.
Anyways this "band got on stage and played the video game Rockband in front of an actual audience. No real instruments to be seen anywhere, not to mention the fact that the singer couldn't sing worth shit. I felt stupid just for watching it that long before I turned that shit off. Granted, the "band" on the show is likely to be made up of hack actors and the crowd could have been just a bunch of teen extras, BUT I JUST SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE PUT UP MONEY FOR A SHOW BASED ON THIS CRAP. I really really hope everyone involved in that show has some sort of awful retribution waiting around the corner for them.

Thank god for the remote control.

Cheers.

Lincecum Wins Cy Young Award!!

Still one of the Best shirts I've ever seen, wish I could find it somewhere

Concering People Who Mistakenly Voted for Something They Didn't Mean To

The arguments: the ballots were confusing to fill out and that Proposition 8 was worded confusingly so I voted contrary to what I meant to vote, are both total bullshit.

First, there are instructions on how to properly fill out your ballot located towards the top of the ballot. Don't be Thick and act like you didn't see it. If you were confused or had a question, you should have asked someone for help because you clearly needed it.

Secondly, I'll admit Prop. 8 was confusing, the FIRST time I read it. Then I read it again and realized that because I'm for gay rights, that clearly I wanted to vote No for a proposition that would Ban gay marriage in California. COME ON PEOPLE, we only had about a month and a half to read up on these propositions and figure out which way we wanted to vote. If you didn't take the time and then got confused in the voting booth, that's on YOU. You blew it, no excuses, you don't get to bitch about how it was confusing and how you mistakenly voted the wrong way. I'll say it again, "Don't be Thick," take some time and be a responsible voter next time.

Tune in next time for something not so opinionated

3 Cheers for Not Having to Move to Canada!!

First off, I'm really glad to see our country is finally fed up with this mishandling of our government and has decided to do something about it. For once, young people actually got out and voted. Maybe this country isn't filled with as many intellectually blind people as I thought. Congratulations to President Elect Obama, Good Luck, I think we'll all need it.
