big days, big nights

A few lessons learned during the last week: -The real heroes in movies are the extras. Getting paid 75 bucks for sitting around for 12 hours acting like & dressed like it's 80 degrees outside [while it's actually only 40] is not the ideal way to spend the day. It's still a pretty cool experience though. - Photo shoots for business magazines, or any other magazine for that matter, are awkward. - Jack & cokes at huge Halloween parties in old churches w/ tons of crazy people, vaulted ceilings, stain glassed windows, and balconies are extremely strong. - Helping kids make t-shirts at a picnic isn't the best thing to do if you still have fake blood streaming down your face from the night before...ideally. - Ga Tech is going to the ACC championship game. Jacksonville anyone? Oh, and UGA sucks. - Moving the shop a half mile down the road while still doing business isn't any way to spend a Sunday or Monday either. We'll definitely be shaking up Studioplex th...

shade & honey

Alright, this is just going to be a lame 'things I've done' post...nothing special, but at least it'll be recorded here for whatever that's worth, the children I guess. It's been quite an eventful week: Saturday night was the yeah yeah yeahs @ the tab. Large concerts are pretty much always disappointing, not nearly long enough and w/ way too many 'hip' folks that just came to talk about how they were such big fans and drink a lot of beer the entire time the show was going on. It's a blast to watch Karen O though, just so joyful and nuts - good combo. We made it to the top of the Westin for a look around and to a random quickie for two 22 oz. of high life before hanging out and talking to a homeless guy for half an hour. I do that way too much, it was def. a new experience for Constance though. I think she actually thought she could make a difference. I think we've just gotta be kind to them & try to learn what we can from them. That, ...

friends are friends...

Friends are friends... That's about it. Will Hoge was tonight but the only folks that I talked to about it were 'new friends'. It doesn't matter I don't guess, it's always been about the 'here & now', it just gets more apparent every day. GO THRASHERS!!! I LOVE HOCKEY!!!

can't get no satisfaction

I know posting videos is sort of lame, I just think this is cool as hell [plus I want to see how hard it is to figure out how to post video...turns out it's extremely simple] Jagger doesn't even miss a beat. - you show 'em, keith Anyway, went to my first real sierra club meeting tonight. It's always inspiring to see people committing so much of their free time to support something that they believe in, most often w/o much thanks. I was one of three people under forty out of like twenty, not much of a turn-out. I did learn that urban sprawl [I've always been very interested in sprawl] is a lot more interesting when your speaker can get his power point presentation to work [or I'm assuming it is at least]. There is always so much to learn, it's nice to see all these 'older' people still out there learning new things, making a difference, & shaking things up. I'm sure that's totally stereotypical and [whatever the word for elder prejudi...

maybe all I need is a shot in the arm

Oh Monday, you are the day w/ the most opportunity yet usually the day I feel that I waste the most of. I usually think too much anyway, especially when I have an entire day to myself while everyone else is busy at work. I did get to eat lunch w/ some of my family today since Rachel left to go to Indonesia for two years. There are so many choices to make in life, so many things that totally change everything. Once you take one road, so many more are cut off forever. I know that is definitely a problem that I have, always wanting to experience so much, such variety. Although I feel that I do a pretty good job w/ it & that there is def. no real hurry to have it all figured out at this point in my life [or at any point in my life], I still wonder if I'm making the right decisions. Everything is magnified on Mondays, when I have so much time to do my own thing and realize how 'different' my life is from so many other people my age, especially my friends. It's wei...
