Back in the Big D..

That was a really boring drive back home.  It was windy as FOCK!  Anyhoot, I had a great little Thanksgiving break.  I got to see most of my family and some old friends I haven’t seen in a long while.  Watched some interesting football games, BOOMER SOONER!!! WOOT WOOT!! Going to the BIG 12 baby!!

I really didn’t do much for shopping because I woke up around noon due to all of the tryptophan (a amino acid found in turkeys that causes the human body to be tired) in my system. DAMN TURKEYS!!!  Revenge is bliss for the turkeys I guess.  I did however purchase a 320gb pocket hard drive for $90 after taxes.

I didn’t get to shoot my short film, due to the weather and time frame.  I guess I will shoot it somewhere here in Texas instead.  I will do the mini biography short of my home town over Christmas break I guess.

Back in my home town..

It was the longest drive back home ever!!  A 3.5hr trip to 4.5hrs.  I didn’t expect to see so many people on the road today, it wasn’t like this the past couple of years.  I guess since gas prices are at $1.65 a gal, everyone can afford to travel this year.  I got stuck in 4 traffic jams, one was because of an accident, I really hope they are okay.

My 3 yr old cousin Taylor and I just got back from blockbuster.  We rented Wall-E and Space Monkeys, because she hadn’t seen either one.  She is the most dorable little girl ever!!

Well I’m off to watch some DVD’s, have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!

New project.

Producer Vu Nguyen of Bluelight Pictures and I have been talking about teaming up and doing an action short film.  We are currently calling it the “Untitled Action Short”.  The project has now set in motion and I will keep you guys informed with the project details once it is all finalized.

Being published..

I just recieved and email that a few of my photos have been chosen to be published in a book of photography.  The publishing company wants to see some more of my work and have an interview with me for the book.  This is just awesome!!  It makes me really feel that I have achieved something in this field, because I didn’t go out and contact them, that they contacted me personally for my work.  Yes I have been published in many magazines, but a book!  WOW this is awesome!! :)  That is all, I thought I would share that with everyone.

Nov. 25th 2008

It was a slow day at the lab, but I managed to get some work done.  I left the lab around 6:30 today, went home ate a snack, grabbed my gym stuff and headed to the gym.  My right shoulder had been bothering me all day.  I believe it was from KFM Monday night, but I managed to get a good workout it.  I was a little upset, that I maxed out a 410lbs on the leg press.  I really really need to start working on my legs more.  I remember doing about 600lbs when I was 20 yrs old.  I guess I have another challenge to conquer in the next couple of months.  I started helping Kristen’s cousin Brennan out , with his workout routine since I had just completed mine.  The boys got a lot of potential to get really defined and muscular.  I believe he is like 6′4″ or something to that extent, I just hope he doesn’t quit.

I just got a text of Jac, “GTA4″.  I texted back, “Found it, only problem is its for the xbox hahahaha”.  That made me giggle a bit lol.

The rest of the week is going to be long and slow, but I will have time to write and film a quick short film while I’m back home.  Well I gotta finish my laundry and pack.
