A little of this, a little of that...

Sooo...it's definitely been a while since I last post on here so I figured it was time for an update. It's definitely been a long, fun and interesting month out here in the FL. First off, editing went smoothly (although I'm not a fan of AVID) but we got our edit for class done. Although mine didn't get chosen (partly because my partner and I didn't take it seriously and also partly because we're not used to using AVID) but the one that did was very well done! As soon as it gets uploaded to VIMEO or Youtube i'll be sure to link it so everyone can see what the past three-months was all about!

As for other school projects, I've been busy with getting prepared for 35mm which starts in May. Today I turned in my script entitled, "God Speed, John Glenn," based on...you guessed it John Glenn...

A part from that I'm currently being linked to 5-scripts total. The original amount was greater, but due to issues with some groups, things never materialized. But the scripts I'm attached to, for the most part, are interesting and perceivably fun to work on. Hopefully one of them will be chosen, but until then, it'll be busy work as usual prepping each script to be ready for pitching at the end of April.

Apart from school, I did help out on a music video shoot earlier this month. Because the production was being held up and there were delays in filming, I kind of took over the shoot and made it a model shoot for the models who were there. I figured it would help pass the time, give the girls some pics and also help me continue to learn about shooting model photography.

Overall some of the pics came out great! although, I cannot post the pics until N'Finiti is done touching up hers and gives me the go ahead to post them. As soon as I can they'll be up here and you can tell me what you think.

Apart from that, everything is going extremely well! It was Abby's birthday on Sunday and I can't hardly believe she's 2!?!?! how'd that happen?? it seems like yesterday that she was a tiny bundle in my arms and now she runs around everywhere and calls me "Uncle Bubblegum"...wow, I must be getting old - but like always I'll REFUSE to acknowledge it!! haha...

The Power We Bestow

This is probably going to be my most random and off topic post that I'll have on here - but it's something that I felt warranted mentioning. As almost everyone knows I'm obsessed with all things USC, especially 'SC Football. Why this is? there are many reasons - but regardless of the continual hazing and slander I get from my friends back at ASU, it's something that I love and I will probably always follow.

It came to my attention, sadly through of all things TWITTER, that a young man by the name of Ryan Davidson passed away nearly two-weeks ago. Now you might be wondering who is this boy? He's not a Heisman Trophy recipient, he was not a person capable of greatness on the football field...heck he wasn't even a member of the Trojan Football team. But who he was, was a integral member of the Trojan Family and someone whose inspiration and heroism is a microcosm for how special life is and the power we have with our attitudes and how we can affect people.

I would like to write more - but my words would only do a disservice to the special nature that this boy had on his community, his family and the Trojan Football team. Instead I would like to leave you with a link to Tom Mulhern's article on who this boy was and the special nature with which he lived life and impacted others.

Enjoy!
