FREESTYLE

2010-03-03T04:23:00.001-08:00

I karate chop for fun, I fist pump the air cause I saw it on Jersey Shore, and if you don't like that show I understand but that's beside the point.

Who trains you to graduate college and go on to lead a life? Not anyone I know. I still feel like I'm 10 and I'm just happy to not be confined to that room with desks and monotone instructors. In a way its like a prisoner who just got let out of jail and doesn't know how to function anymore; last time I knew freedom like this I was breast fed and speaking in a makeshift language that consisted of more slobbery vowels than anything. Now what? Lots of people ask me that and most of the time I do the *shrug* which means way to remind me.

WHAT I am realizing is that when you graduate/ed college your mistakes paved my way. My goal in life is to _________________ who knows fill in that blank. I want to make movies, I want to be happy, I want to be like Christ. Pick one of those. While we're at it no one trains you how to love properly either. I def. love myself a lot and when it comes to doing the God thing, selflessness is often hard to acquire, how does that work?

My mind is swimming with possibilities, the earthquake in Chile knocked the Earth of by 3 inches shortening the days (maybe that relates to the story in the bible when the sun never set; a giant earthquake in Thailand hit and the Israelites were oblivious.)

Another crazy epiphany, you don't know anything. I know just as much about why I'm here now as when I did at 3, maybe I knew more then and the more we search the less living we have to do, because reality is way too much to handle, thats why I'm sitting here blogging in front of my computer. Its way cooler online (The Matrix.)

Dolphins are water humans (watch the Cove) and we're jerks to them. The world itself is simple and we don't get it because we're idiots, there is no secret, we just make them.

Insight, if God is real we can do anything, if science proves it all we can do anything. If you are Christian because you want it easy and have hopes of "doing anything" you're in it for the wrong reason, Satanists have it better and sex out of wedlock is okay to have in their religious circle so go do that. I do it for the gratefulness at least I hope I do.

Try standing in someplace quiet and think about how much you don't know and by the way your going to die, thats comforting because if theres nothing there thats probably just as relaxing as heaven. Do you remember life before you were conceived? You've just comprehended the concept of nothing.

We are masses of tissue given color, shape, and texture by light.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST (A LESSON IN EARNESTY)

2009-11-01T17:36:00.000-08:00

THE DEFINITION OF EARNESTY!

We all know this as the title of the classic book by Oscar Wilde, but I haven't read it. It came to me while sitting here looking at that picture, just those words: the. importance. of. being. earnest. SO I looked up -- the definition of earnest, one of those words that we all know and probably use, but never stop to think about. (Earnest: 1 : a serious and intent mental state
2 : a considerable or impressive degree or amount .) So what is the importance of being earnest (or earnesty as I've just decided to call it?) why be serious and intent, why have a considerable or impressive degree or amount?
Earnesty is what dreams are made of, its what you have between the ages of 0 and children. It's what you loose because of money or responsibility, forcing you to forget to smile, or loose your goals in the shuffle. What is the importance of earnesty? It's setting your sights for whatever makes you happy and never loosing heart so that you don't have to say "I wish I had..." and you always smile back on "remember whens." It's living life to a considerable or impressive degree or amount so that you can be filled with sadness, joy, excitement, and fear. It's loosing count of the laugh lines and counting the crows feet as medals of honor.
The importance of earnesty is the meaning of life.

When I was a kid I never thought I'd make it to this time in my life, HONESTLY I can remember thinking 21 is way too old and I don't see it BUT I'm here and its awesome. We're instilled with this idea that we're owed life and we're wrong, this is one of those moments when I realize that every second I have is a gift from God and life is fragile (WAY MORE FRAGILE THAN WE KNOW!) So celebrate with me and live it up!

MY GOAL!

2009-09-04T13:18:00.000-07:00

So I had the first class of my "last" session today (psychology) and I said my goal aloud. Outside of film making I've always wanted to go to space, be apart of the program, and spend some time in the ISS, but haven't known how to go about it. Recently I inquired and discovered that in order to be considered you have to have a degree in math, science, or engineering, and three years of practical use. Of course my ultimate goal is to make movies BUT my dream (the kind little kids refer to when you ask them what they want to be when they grow up and they respond "a doctor!") is to go to space! So when I get the money I plan on attending another accredited university, studying science or engineering (cause math is STUPID) going through the process and applying for the space program! I mean if the opportunity's there -- WHY NOT? Here's a photo from the ISS.

"KING RAT" MODEST MOUSE

2009-08-27T18:40:00.000-07:00

Modest Mouse - King Rat (directed by Heath Ledger) from Johann S. on Vimeo.

The King Rat video was directed by Heath Ledger, co-directed and illustrated by Daniel Auber with lead animation by Norris Houk, animation by Jade Taglioli and produced by Sara Cline of THE MASSES.

In January of 2007, while visiting his homeland of Australia, Heath Ledger presented Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse with an idea to direct a video for their yet-to-be-released song ‘King Rat’. Heath’s vision, brave and unapologetic in its nature, would marry his love of bold and original music with his impassioned stance against the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place of the coast of Australia each year. Always one to operate from his heart and take a stand for what he cared deeply about, Heath's intention was to raise awareness on modern whaling practices through a potent visual piece without having to say a word. It was his way to let the story, in its candid reversal, speak for itself.

The video was fully conceived down to the last detail but unfinished when Heath passed away in January of 2008. In the interest of fully realizing Heath’s final work as a visual artist, THE MASSES (a film and music company which Heath was a partner in) finished the video in his honor, with the support and advocacy of Isaac Brock.
