I just need to rant a bit. I'm trying to finish my 3D modeling project that is due tomorrow morning but the stupid program Maya keeps crashing. It's probably because of my crappy modeling and lame attempt at texturing....(how do you spell that?)
I hardly know what I'm doing and the darn thing is due tomorrow. BAH! I don't even care if it's not finished. Yup it TICKS me right off.
I finally got around to listening to the new Taylor Swift album.
It's good, I legit like it. But dang is it emo.
"I like emo music. My favorite emo artist is Taylor Swift." -My Facebook status.
Listening to the album I thought that the songs could definitely be covered in a post-hardcore alternative punk style. Anyone wanna join the band? Yeah some songs made me feel sad :( HAHA!
"Better Than Revenge" is like Paramore plus a bit of country... I like that song.
I'm great at wasting time when I should be doing homework... oh wait, Maya keeps crashing!! Dang son!

LOVE
What is LOVE?
...And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because LOVE is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.
...And storms will surely come,
But true LOVE is a choice you must make and you are the one.
That I have set my heart to choose
As long as I live, I swear I’ll see this through.
-Thrice (The Weight)
LOVE is our weapon.
LOVE is more than a word.
LOVE is the Word.
LOVE is the way.
LOVE is the Truth.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life" -Jesus
JESUS is LOVE.
The Beatles didn't lie when they said all you need is LOVE.
But this world doesn't know what LOVE is.
Show the world what LOVE is.

Film.Winter.DELETED!!
"So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night"
-Relient K
Today my film group, Team Cool Beans, started shooting our film. It's certainly not how I usually shoot video. Apparently there's this thing called lighting that's very important. Yes, none of my videos have ever been properly lit and it's actually a lot of work lighting a film set. Besides that, shooting was fun. We get use a professional Sony HD camcorder that is just phenomenal. I want one. I started editing it already because I love to edit video.... It's rad. We'll be shooting the rest of the movie tomorrow and the final product will be ready for viewing by December 13th. That's when it's due.
So after shooting, me and Lauren (who volunteered to act) played some Call of Duty: Black Ops (we got owned) and after Lauren left I was relieving myself in my bathroom and thought "I should see if I can log and transfer that video I shot on Tuesday into Final Cut Pro". It was then that I realized that I had formatted my camcorder to shoot behind the scenes footage of my film.
I spent at least on hour and a half filming a video by myself this previous Tuesday and I DELETED IT! AHHHHHH!
It was a rather random and stupid video but I thought it was cool... dunno if I'll feel/have time/want to re-shoot it... It didn't take much time and I think I have a decent amount of free time. But I shouldn't. I should spend way more time on homework.
Oh yeah. It's all snowy now... and cold. Not a huge fan of the cold.
I should do homework, I should eat, I should sleep, I should actually tell someone I have a blog so that this will get read?

College and Nap Time
It seems like I could always use some sleep. I'm always tired. I can fall asleep in mid afternoon while I'm trying to read but at night my brain goes crazy and thinks about seemingly EVERYTHING. The last two nights I didn't sleep much and lots of what I thought about was things I could write about on this here blog. Maybe I'll do some of those things some time.
But right NOW. I'm in my "boring" class.
It's not actually boring, we just do nothing but listen to the instructor talk. I believe it's called a "lecture". I may be mistaken. We don't have to take notes, which is awesome. Especially for the people who play games or do homework OR update their blogs. I don't mind this class, it's alright. By the way I can't multitask so I have no idea what the instructor is talking about... I just need to study my notes anyway. And the tests are easy multiple choice deals. I've had one so far and only two more and that all my marks.
The best thing about this class is attendance. There are two David Ms in the class and pretty much every time attendance is done I need to say "here" twice.
"David"
"Yup"
"David M"
"Yup"
"Um, McDonald"
"Close enough"
And there's this guy who ALWAYS walks in after attendance and the instructor asks him what his name is EVERY.SINGLE.CLASS.
I should maybe pay attention....
I'm tired... I usually doze off in this class.. I wish the people in front of me were taller... WTH (wut dah heck!) is he talking about?
Later!

The Birth of a Blog
Hi there. My Name is Dave but you probably already know that. I am starting a blog. Duh. I've tried this jazz before but never posted regularly... I'll try to do that this time. Why am I writing a blog? Cause the cool kids are doing it? Cause I feel like I have something to say? Cause I want to? Maybe a combination of those.
So what can you expect from my blog? Um... stuff. What kind of stuff? Well hopefully I will type some words that are insightful and will make you think and/or laugh. Preferably out loud but if you laugh on the inside that's cool too. I like to shoot videos with my friends (who call me Dave, by the way) so I will probably post links to those and other videos I find interesting. I like to make music as well.... My friends and family think it's good so I'm gonna assume, who ever you are, that you'll like it too.
Have a good day/night... you know, when ever you read this.
