End of July and into a whole new chapter of my life….

You might think that just because it’s end of July, I’m saying it’s a whole new chapter, wrong. July has been more crazy then i could ever imagine and much more of it is on it’s way soon. To recap for this month I not only got 4 awards/scholarships, I received one scholarship from the Dublin Alumni Association but I was picked by the lead guitarist from Motor Head which is soo legit. After that we had all our Senior events like I already talked about but we GRADUATED!!. CLASS OF 2009 we did it!l_6e4d7c889caf4a24916f7eac3f98b107

Graduation was soo much fun throwing beach balls, cheering for friends, and everything in between. Had lots of grad parties and they were a blast, I also picked up a nice stack to deposit to the bank ;) . Needless to say I have enough money now to finally buy the camera I want/need but just need to figure out which one would be the best for me. Not only that I have to buy a new car soon and start making payments on that. But anyways, after graduation we had Grad Night.

I was the first one in of course cause I wanted all the action first! Ran upstairs with Mac Myers and hit up the Sumo Wrestling. It was a blast. Ran around all night, hanging with different groups and it was just a very fun and chill time. People afterward still went and got drunk but its sad that our generation can’t have a fun or complete night without alcohol, kinda ridiculous. But what ever. Love me, hate me for saying it, I would love to hear your argument.

Anyways, after all this fun stuff i went to Disneyland with my good friend Anthony Mckee. Shit we had a blast, 5 days of us running around the park doing what ever, when ever, and could literally walk out of the park and be at our hotel, amazing!! Ran into JVD, Alex, Drew, Jered, and that whole group as well and Mel/Tangay, and saw even more people. We had alot of fun without and even more fun with the parents. Dinner conversations were hilarious to say the least. Mckee is still kinda mad that i wasn’t backing up and join with his parents but dude I’m sorry, their right and everyone knows it. The trip was great and got me ready for a nice relaxing week and then off to my camping trip.

IMG_0884It was pretty ridiculous and adventure to say the least. I FRICKEN READ A BOOK. For people who REALLY know me know i don’t read. I told myself i would read this book and wouldn’t and couln’t put it down for more than an hour. It was a fantastic book and NO i wasn’t soo bored that i read it, i actually ditched out on doing some fun stuff to read it.

Sadly I have to go but some movie reviews to come soon!

Best 4 days of my life

Posted in High school, life on June 8, 2009 by killertapehead

Wow what can I say about the last weekend of high school! It has been the craziest shit I could have expected. Hopefully their is alot more to come soon.

Thursday started out with a normal but chill day of school. 4731_106563132779_559792779_2756860_6042348_nPowderpuff game followed and we played a decent game. Personally i felt we did alot better last year against the 08 seniors but we still had fun. Luckily we racked up enough points to keep the lead even after there final touch. Follwing this fun event of me losing my voice, Enrique and I hopped into my moms car and drove to number hill for senior sunset! It was a touch climb especially with no water to cool my throat from yelling. The sunset was gorgeous beyond belief and made up for senior sunrise. PoseEveryone up their were all the coolest people too so it made it even more special. After this fun climb we decended down the mountain to all meet for some great food at Athens which closed 10 min after we got there so felt kind of bad. Jerking in the middle of the parking lot with thizznick and people was fun as we all went into broom ball(ha i didn’t have to pay). Broom ball was chill as it turned into dancing on the ice, red rover, and table toping people. Finally the day came to an end as I took Enrique home and went to bed.

Friday started off early at 7am at the High School after going to bed at 12:30 pm…Kinda crazy. Then off to Water World 40 min late thanks to the stupid ass bus drivers. We went back to old school mode and tried to get trucks to honk! Brent stuck his head out the window and the truck did it but Brents glasses flew out the window. Water world was fun in our small group and we hit everything before lunch. After lunch I played alot of volleyball and tanned with some beautiful ladies. One had a nip slip which was hilarious for me and Dan cause we didn’t know what to do. Later that night after sleeping we played a massive game of zombie tag at shannon park which was decent but way too many newbs.

Saturday was legit was Baccalaureate and i thought everything was amazing. People responded very well to the senior video and I’m glad about that. Rubio and Waynewrights speech was 40 fricken minutes but it was hilarious and amazing. Chuck and I did great on our speech and it was well recieved. My leg wouldn’t stop shaking which was ridiculous because I wasn’t fricken nervous! The night was good too hanging with my family and seeing Up with Hannah and well seeing Joe lol.

Sunday was a jam packed day of Grad Party. To make it short, thank you to all who came and especially brought gifts. It was very appreciated, as well as the parents for putting it all together. Mrs. Baumann got us all legit ass towels which are soooo cool. Thank you again!

The fun continues and hopefully we can get a good senior prank out lol.

So 5/10

Posted in Uncategorized on May 10, 2009 by killertapehead

It has been a very long time since I have been in a relationship.

I want to write alot but it’s hard for me to right now. I have so many ideas running through my head and it really sucks because i don’t know what to do anymore. I REALLY have strong feelings for Hannah and i feel like she completes me in a certin way but at the same time it’s like wtf is going on with us?

Then there is Eliza who seems really cool, chill, and my type but i have no clue what’s goin on there and really can’t expect much cause she just became single and shes probably going away for college so it’s like i have no clue what to do.

My life seems almost meaningless at times to me because i feel like i’m im just living because i have to. All I can do it pray to god and wait to see what comes. I’m not the type of person who just wants sex, i need initimacy and a real connection with someone.

Guardian Angel: Day 1

Posted in Uncategorized on April 15, 2009 by killertapehead

Well today was crazy to say at least. got up at 7 to get stuff ready. Had my DP (Perry) come drop off some more equipment early and Chet lol.

Mitch and Perry who had all the rest of the stuff were late getting back, and perry was my DP so i couldn’t do anything.

Started shooting an Hour and a half after we wanted to get the first shot off which made things hectic. Things started to get better after our amateur crew started to learn what to do as well as what terms meant.

Mitch, Tito, and I had to skip out on lunch to set up for the bedroom scene because Sam(Anthony V.) had to get going back home to S.F. by 4pm.
Somehow we got all those shots and lighting in only an hour!! Which trust me, is amazing because of how long shots take to set up and shoot.

Even had some time to get some of tomorrows shots out of the way and made my room look like a bathroom! lol.

Tomorrow should be fun with some pyrotechnics and HUGE crane/dolly shots!

Thursday is the big day and we are still welcoming extras to be apart of it so just message me on here and ill put you on the list.

Update tomorrow too!!

Junior iron maker

Posted in adventures, film with tags on March 30, 2009 by killertapehead

Right now I’m outside of justins house getting ready for our shoot of our film for the junior iron maker. Honestly I don’t think we will win because of all the groups doing this.Sean’s idea is unbeatable if he does it right but chuck’s animation is hilarious!!

We shall see but I’m more focused on doing my film in 2 weeks!! As well as the real iron maker (actually 24 hours) which is the day after we wrap shooting our film. It’s going to be crazy, hectic, exhausting, but so exhilirating!

Should be posting alot during then.

Until then.

Update 3/2/09

Posted in life on March 3, 2009 by killertapehead

Well back again on this blog ha :D

Every thing’s going good this month just working on pre-production of my new short titled “Guardian Angel” written by Tito Hamze, Mitch Eason, and myself. All three of us are working hard on getting cameras, dollys, cranes, actors, and I’m rewriting the script right now so its easier for me as the director to outline shots and everything. It should be a very exciting and humorous. I can’t go into much detail but it’s a bout a Guardian Angel and his person who somehow falls out of a window. I find the script to be creative, fresh, and humorous as the Guardian Angel with be played by my funny friend Chunk (Andrew Kathy). We are planning on shooting and editing everything before spring break so that we can enter it in CIFF (California Independent Film Festival) in Livermore California.

On top of all that, the festival also hosts the Iron Maker Film Competition which I was thankful enough to get first place in last year and hope to take first again this year. New this year is also the Junior Iron Maker which is for 14-18 year olds and instead of 24 hours you have 14 days!! I mean for god sakes 2 weeks to do it! That’s just ridiculous but I am taking up the challenge and hopeing to get first within that compeition as well.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, I’m working on my portfolio and making a music video for bay area rapper B.B.S. in either March or April. Maybe even a music video for other bay area group “The League”? Who knows? It’s a great time to be alive (besides our economy). I’m loving the hustle and all that great stuff and there is much more on the way soon, more reviews, shorts, music videos, and blog posts.

Until Next time Much Love.

Slumdog Millionaire

Posted in life with tags , , , , , , , on February 17, 2009 by killertapehead

Well first I would like to say how i should be in bed right now, even though I am but of course i meant sleeping, anyways.

Today i would like to talk about the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” Directed by Danny Boyle and Loveleen Tandan. I have to give amazing credits to the writers Simon Beaufoy and Vikas Swarup for slumdog_millionairewriting such and inspirational and memorable film. When i was first told of the story line to the movie someone said it was about an Indian guy who lives in the slums and becomes a millionaire on India’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. But here’s the real one- A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.

I could analyze the shit out of this film but i don’t have the time for that. This movie has amazing actors, a great score, and a story that grabs you and never lets you go. It’s a complete adventure thriller and a refreshing story that is inspiration to all who struggle or someone who dreams. In a way i see it as a Disney movie because of it’s amazing message but it’s for sure not a kids movie.

To me there are two types of films, one you eat popcorn and candy and one that is so good that you don’t need anything else because it hooks you. This is a movie where you don’t need anything else except maybe someone else to see it with so you can talk about it after. I saw the movie 2 weeks ago and i still get chills when i hear the soundtrack or see its’ trailer.

This is a must see and amazingly a 10/10 for me.

Much Love.

Stepping Into the Future

Posted in history, life on January 22, 2009 by killertapehead

Starting off the new year by coming of age and finally becoming an “Adult”. Finally 18 even though I don’t feel any more special than before. I haven’t suddenly become more mature because ive always been mature but at the same time i act like a kid because it’s fun. Even though i will get older every day though, I promise myself that i will NEVER lose that spark of being a child. I value that as one of my biggest things in life.

The second thing to start off the new year is the history that was made January 20, 2009. The 44th President of the U.S. was inaugurated which of course was Barack Obama. It was a historical moment and of course i saw everything live EXCEPT the swearing in because of my stupid teacher. I mean my god, history is being made and you want to do stupid review that we don’t need!? What ever, i eventually saw it when i got home and

Barack Obama

Barack Obama

was glad that i DVRed it. The speach was very good i felt but not as inspiring as some of his speechs. I was proud though to be an Ameirica because I have hope that he can change our country around and it was amazing to know i was part of history being made. I had never seen such a site around the U.S. and the world that ONE person being elected to any position had or could have done. Obama really to me is inspirational! As I prepare for the future and worry about what is to come, i pray that he is able to lead our county to a better future so that we as a nation can become stable again and live without fear or terror. The night tis young but sadly i have school tomorrow so i need some sleep for it.

In the Final world.
