'Tis the Season

It's Christmas. We show up at my grandmas house. I'm 14. It comes time to open the presents, she brings out this little square-shaped flat present, wrapped in Christmas paper. I wonder what it is, what joyous gift from grandma could be so small in volume? I open it, and see the words "AOL Internet Trial CD" on the cover of a cardboard disc holder, with a 14-day AOL trial CD inside. Confused, I asked her what it was. She proudly proclaimed "I've bought you fourteen days of free internet!"

And that's why I hate Christmas.

My Favorite Caption

Tonight, I flipped through the pages of an old notebook. Passing by class notes, poems and lyrics to songs long forgotten, I happened upon this:

When are we going to have this conversation about Jesus?

That is what reads at the bottom of a page in my notebook. I don't remember writing it, nor do I recall ever reading it before. Either way, I cannot help but note the applicability of its placement directly beneath a sketch of me saddling a Tyrannosaurus Rex attacking my high school.

Everyone back home should enjoy this - this is a video I helped Mark Anderson make in one day before I left for Los Angeles. The famous Drama class music video project was underway and he asked me for a hand. Of course, by "hand" he meant for me to direct, film, puppeteer, and edit.

This project is possibly the most well known feature of any class at my old high school - probably because it's the most fun to do, and even more fun to watch the presentations. I'm told that they still show my video I did my senior year of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen for inspiration. I'll upload that one when I get the chance. Until then, here's mine and Mark's video to Here in Your Arms, by Hellogoodbye. (This will probably be a dead link soon due to copyright law, so if nothing shows up, it's your lazy fault for not reading my blog soon enough.)
