Hello old friend.
And the rejuvenation of this blog begins.
To sum it up, i just finished my degree in Kinetic Imaging (video, sound & animation) at Virginia Commonwealth University. I spent May-August 2009 in Los Angeles interning and feeling out the tv/film industry. Then I found myself in Bristol, England at the Bristol School of Animation for my last semester, September - December 2009 . Both of these...

Carl Sandburg
here are a couple Carl Sandburg Poems I am looking at:
Autumn Movement by Carl Sandburg
I CRIED over beautiful things knowing no beautiful thing lasts. The field of cornflower yellow is a scarf at the neck of the copper sunburned woman, the mother of the year, the taker of seeds. The northwest wind comes and the yellow is torn full of holes, new beautiful things come in the first spit of snow on...
Love Me If You Dare
I just watched a french film titled “Love Me If Your Dare.” It was really wonderful. There were things about it that were beautiful both visually and in meaning.
It was especially interesting to me because the lead female was also in La Vien Rose, playing Edith Piaf in her youth, and there were some interesting connections between the two movies regardless of the contrasting content. This movie...
Halloween Weekend... at home
So i decided to spend Halloween at home with my parents. My dad works odd hours for NBC as a video editor, so my mom has to spend holidays alone pretty often, and this year i thought it would be fun to hand out candy with my mom, it ended up being a really relaxing weekend all together.
I have something funny to share though:

Next Video Project
After reviewing the choices for the next project i have chosen to take on the “One Large Project” option. I bought a light box a couple months ago and have had an idea for a hand drawn 2D animation for a while that i would really like to pursue. It is inspired by the documentary Man on Wire that i saw in September, i was so intrigued by the subject’s passion for tightrope walking...

Jewish New Year
Monday night was the start of the Jewish New Year. Its one of the more important Jewish Holidays, and focuses on starting the coming year off well and reflecting on the past year and things to improve about one’s life and practices. I’m not a very religious Jew. The culture and spirituality are important to me becasue of how i’ve been raised, and the values I have believed to be...

long weekends
i really like long weekends and nights filed with illegal parahphanaelia. listeing to over-played 90s and early 2000s songs and singing along. but not really singing. truly yelling. screaming. they are screaming at the top of their lungs. stumbling to the person in control of the iPod to request the next un-original over-popular song and then crunching empty beer cans on the hard wood floor on...
