"My life is like it was directed by Hype" -Jay-z

Photobucket
Today I met other aspiring directors. We sat and chilled. Well, actually we were walking around really fast. Feels like I live in Vegas again. lol. But they made me realize that there are plenty of jobs that go with the Digital Film Making and Video Production Major.I kinda knew that being an extra all those times in LA because I'm really observant. I remember wandering where I wasn't suppose to and asking the people that looked important a lot of questions. Sh*t, I even got kicked off set once.

But after doing plenty of listening, the only other thing that was interesting to me other than directing was being a cinematographer. I know I spoke of this before. About how Hype Williams cinematographer is/was Malik Sayeed, and in my personal opinion, Hypes videos are/were only good when he uses him. (I know I'm talking hella circa right now)

So here's my pregame dilemma. Do I want to be the guy that helps the director hit the right angles and lighting? Or do I want to be the guy that comes up with the whole idea? That be hella fun to do both but I want/need to be good at one specific thing. (Kinda like how Michael Jordan was on the White Sox too lol) I know that I'd be a great cinematographer but how do I know that I wouldn't be a great director??? I guess that's why I'm here.. *talking to myself*

Porsche Panamera TV Commercial (60 sec version)


When I recently heard about the new four door Porche Panamera I started to doubt it from the jump. Personally, I felt like it was taking away from the point of getting one. But when I googled it and youtubed it, it quickly changed my perspective on how I look at four door coupes... "I'm too tall for two seaters anyways." lol. Hopefully I can get one one day. I wouldn't even show off. I would really stay out the way then :)

The Hurricane

Photobucket
My friend asked me today what inspires me and who inspires me and the very first thing I thought about was this movie, "The Hurricane" played by one of my favorite actors Denzel Washington. This movie right here, to me at least, is hard to watch. And if you do, you better watch it all the way through or it's just gonna get you mad. You think you're going through something??? Watch this movie. I highly recommend it. & what's crazy is that when my friend asked me, I was going through a lightweight problem that I created in my world and shortly after I thought about it I realized and told myself, "stop cryin'." lol. But yeah, watch this movie if you haven't yet. & if you have already, think about it and cut the net off the rim. Peace

I posted this because gloomy weather can easily adjust your attitude. I been fighting it and fighting it and fighting it. Like, listening to songs, watching movies, and reading books that lift my spirit. Not to sound like a corn, but for real. I know first hand being ina "bad situation" and having to do this in order to look passed it. Plus, it makes it easier in the future

Hov & Swizzy! lol- On To The Next One


I know you seen it duh. I know you heard it duh. lol. When I blog music, I'm not showcasing it or anything. It's just "my song" at the moment (or still my song at the moment) and I play it a lot. I even answer my phone saying random lyrics from the song and they always finish it. "So don't be mad at him when it's on to the next one" lol

Rice Rocket

I never liked stickers on cars. Ever. But when I seen this it quickly grabbed my attention. Iono if it's the color scheme, the font, or the line style but I actually would push this. The only thing I didn't like about it, is that it was a four door. Other than that I was on it

Drake- It's Been a Pleasure

I haven't had a computer for a while that's why I haven't blogged in a hot minute. I was determined to purchase a Mac Book Pro. I hella almost copped a PC hella different times. But I was like, if I just wait a little bit more I can get what I really want. And right now I'm at the internet cafe hella hyper! lol So I knew that I hadda throw up a blog from my new ooh whopp. Here is a song that's been out for a minute. It's hard for me to like a song that I can play on repeat and rap every word with passion. Shouts to one of my location A's @TAJ_MAHALL for putting me on this song. You can check out his blog at www.sleepingonmars.com. Get some inspiration in ya life!
