Who Said?

Well, here we are. Sorry I haven't been posting regularly.  I always sit down to my laptop and feel guilty if I type anything other than scenes for the movie. So let me be the first to say: my bad. And let me be the first to say: you guys are all posting some awesome pictures. Keep it up (especially you Sis. I know Zabe doesn't like her picture getting taken, but keep pressing on!).

Well, as you may have guessed, this summer movie project is starting to suck up my life. The script which I thought was done suddenly got a lot harder to write, so I am continuing to work on it. I need to work out the financial stuff, too, but I won't bore you with that.

School is going just fine, no complaints. Not a whole lot to say, really. You see just HOW little I have to do other than that movie. It's getting annoying.

That's about it. Sorry that I don't have much to say;  I will try to post something more funny later this week, I promise.

Peace out.

I Got Nerve

This morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know!!

As the immortal Hilary Duff once said, "Life goes by, Who knows why?" So deep...

Life does go by here at Lindenwood Universi-tay. I am hangin out awaiting the awakening of my roommate and the start of a new Scrubs episode. Last week's episode was the best of the new ones so far, despite not having Zach Braff.

Today, I slept in. I probably should have put in some Work and Learn hours, but I'm not too worried about it. Tomorrow I get to sleep in again since my Thursday morning class got canceled. Which means after Film class, I jet back to KC for a 3 day weekend. Assuming, that is, my car makes it all the way. Vinny is not well...

I've been thinking a lot about how much my life has changed in the past 8 months. Got started in KC improv, finally picked a major (2 actually), and of course Radio Disney. And all of that is due to one guy, really: Clay Morgan. Dude changed my life. He won't read this, but I figure he should get a shout out anyway.

Well, I suppose that is about all I have to write about. Classes are going fine. I got an A on my last Chaucer test (verily). Have an A in Philosophy (if any of us are even here....). Have an A in Computer class (which essentially means I have an IQ above room temperature...). Have an A in Film class (yay! my eyes work!). Have an A in Video Production (I can turn on a video camera). And I have an A in Gender Roles (despite my crucial role in oppressing women). 

Peace out.

If We Were A Movie

New Post? Blogger say what, say what!???

So yeah. A new post. Thought it had been a while since I posted, so I figured I would B to the L to the O to the G. (Oh no he didn't! Yes, yes he did.)

So I am chilling here in LU, fresh off an amazing(ly cold) Spring Break. Started with snow, ended with hail. And somewhere in between, I felt the sun for a few hours. And I said, "Sunshine go away today. I don't feel much like playin." And when I said that, he went away... And he took his 2 scoops of raisins with him...

Over the Break, I accomplished several important things:

1. Watched I Am Sam--Several times. Check.
2. Went to IHOP--Several times.
3. Worked for Radio Disney--Several times.
4. Ate at Panda Express---for the first time.
5. Almost bought Scrubs Season 6--for the  Millionth Time.
6. Struggled with my car---Several times.

I think that's about it. Went to the doc to make sure I was healthy (I've been losin' weight for no reason---as if I should complain about that). I think I'm alright. No diabetes. If I had diabetes, I would have perfected my impersonation of the old man for Liberty Meds who has, as he says, "Diabet as....."

Workin' on my movie script. It is quite close to being finished. Of course, I've said that for a while... But this time I'm serious (I think). So yeah. That's exciting. Also doing some homework and writing some music. Having fun, chilling out, living life.

Heading BACK to KC on Thursday for Easter Break. Awesome. It seems like forever since I went home for a while.... I am workin for Radio Disney at the KC home opener, and I should get a really good ticket through that hopefully. Who knows? (Not I...)

Well, that is the extent of the happy-hap here in LU. 

Tune in tomorrow, same BatBlog, same BatTime.....

A Boring Post for the Sake of Posting

Wow. 2 weeks removed from my last post. Yet oddly, I'm not ashamed...

Well, not much has been happening with me. Lindenwood is fine, not bad, not great. School's alright, nothing much to say there. 

Spring break could not be more boring at this point. Hopefully it picks up a little bit in a day or so. But I'm not expecting that. I am enjoying my week off of classes.

In rereading this really short post, it occurs to me that I may seem depressed. I'm really not. Just not much happening lately... I'm not sad, just bored really.

Well that's about it. My improv troupe DOES have another event lined up, but I'm taking a few days to wait to post info about it on here for professional reasons. Later, later!

"When I got tired of running from You, I stopped right there to catch my breath. There Your words they caught my ear, You said, 'I miss you, Son. Come home.' And my sins, they watched me leave, and in my heart, I still believe, the love You felt for me was mine, the love I'd wished for all this time. And when the doors were closed, I heard no I told you-so's. I said the words I knew You knew: 
Oh God, oh God I needed You. God all this time I needed You. I needed You..."

Speaks for itself.

The Second Thought Machine

My roommate is currently singing improvisational Christmas songs in the style of African slaves...

Anyway, here we are, with the thoughts of the digital age coursing through my mind. Partly because I have a million different things to consider. But mainly it's because Jimmy is writing a paper on the digital age... (Ba-dum-pssh)

Second thoughts are not my friend. One day, I know what I'm doing, the next day, not so much. I think someone should invent a machine where you don't think when you lay down to sleep, thereby eliminating the time spent thinking about everything you did that day. And yes, I did just use the word thereby correctly in a sentence. 5 points.

My Philosophy teacher wasn't in class today because she had a migraine; or did she have a "migraine"? (notice the quotes). We all know she may not be sober. Ah well. It meant I didn't have class today, which was pretty sweet.

Got my Chaucer paper back today: C+, which is about what I was expecting, considering it's a 300-level class. It actually is not as boring as it once was, which is truly a blessing.

And Fundamentals of the Internet was unusually stimulating today. So I am happy.

Now, I'm getting ready to go take a test in Sociology of Gender Roles. Should be interesting to say the least. Well, I'm off. Peace out.

Carey Grant, Show Me Your Ways

"The man who wanders with purpose has no purpose to wander."

Yes, that was a line in a beer commercial. Does that make it any less wise?

Well, here I am at Lindenwood University. Pretty great day today, weather-wise. No homework either, which is always really nice. My 2 classes were Video Production and History of Film. How do I manage this work load...

For this week in Film class, we got to watch one of the better movies I have seen in a long time. It's a 1940's movie called "His Girl, Friday." It's a Carey Grant film, and it was funny and absurd in a really good way. 

In class, we watched a French movie called "Amelie," which was a bit vulgar, but also very hilarious. 

Apparently, MY FREE HYDRIVE STUFF ARRIVED IN KC YESTERDAY!!! Zach, you should pick it up and bring it up here when you come up tomorrow/Saturday. Yeah... Hydrive.

I am working on forming a band with my greatest friend in the world, Mr. David Doty. We are writing a few songs, and actually hope to find a way to record a few in the coming months. When we do, trust me I will post that on here.

Well that's all that's happening here. Oh by the by, the new section of Max and Joe was posted. I know there was quite a delay, but it is a little bit longer than the other ones, so let me know what you guys think of it. I'm out.
