I'm excited for the trip- I agree with ya on NY- My original plans were to go there for film school back in 03' but stuff happened, ended up staying in Omaha. You ever been to Seattle? If you like Portland, you would love Seattle...I was supposed to go to Portland the weekend i'm going to Cali- but I decided Cali would be a little bit "further" for me- What do you do for your "Job"? Thats awesome that you have things rollin! Good luck!!
I hope your out conquering the town tonight- I did all of my drinking for the next 2 weeks on Thursday- haha.
it sucked.
Shannon, Dec 22, 2007:
Hey- I had to delete my myspace- but it says that you and I are friends...hmmm
I love school- i'm on winter break right now, 3 weeks! I just bought a plane ticket to California...i've never been, and I am really needing out of Seattle right now.
Todays the first day of partial sun in about 3 weeks...I love cloudy weather- don't get me wrong- but sometimes you just need a break from your surroundings...
what are you up to? working on any projects?
_micah., Dec 19, 2007:
it goes as it goes. day by day. nothing new really. got some free time for the next couple of days so i'm gonna get some drumming done. how's it goin for you?
Shannon, Dec 18, 2007:
Hey-
I don't even know where to start! I've been falling in love with cinematography and film since i can remember. I've been making films since i was about 12, and doing photography for probably about 8 years. What about you? Did you go to school for film? Or did you just kind of fall into it? What side of the field do you prefer? I want to focus on directing , but right now I'm working with a bunch of random cameras.
This is a lame question- but do you have a myspace?
haha
Shannon-
Shannon, Dec 12, 2007:
I never check this thing- but you sound awesome- let's chat!

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know."
Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!

i should say slow evolution because that sounds distinctive
but really
i didnt even ever consider myself an activist until i read that
hm. i just believe in a better standard
a better way of living
a better perspective
smart americans and clear uninfluenced and unimpressionable minds
and i have a passion for helping people
i like progressive culture
so i suppose i woke up
opened my eyes
and decided to do some things?
nicole, Apr 28, 2007:
that's funny, because the first thing I thought of were the bitter waters of Marah, but that was with an "h" so I wasn't sure. Awesome.
