I’m finally on my own. It’s been about a day and a half since I’ve been on my own. My friends and family helped me move in yesterday and it was a pretty easy process although I had to endure it all while maintaining a hangover. But that’s neither here nor there. There weren’t many big items to move; just my desk and my bed. So even though I’m not in my old room anymore, at least I’m still sleeping on my same bed that I’ve had for a while now. Honestly, it still hasn’t hit me that I’m on my own. Well it has but it hasn’t. It’s all hitting me little by little. The biggest jolt by the fact that I’m on my own was when my family was getting ready to leave to go home. I actually cried a little. Not sobbing crying, but a tear left my eye and fell to the ground. That happened when I was saying “goodbye” to my mom. I asked her one thing before she left. I asked, “Mom, are you proud of me?” She said, “Of course I am. I‘m going to miss you.” She said that right before she hugged me and squeezed me tight, reluctant to let go. It really made me sad. I tried to hold my emotions in but I didn’t care. At the same time it made me glad to know I had emotions, to know I truly felt something. It’s good to feel something. It shows you have a soul. It shows you are a human being with compassion and a heart. But overall, I was more sad than happy. I was going to miss these people. My family. The people I’ve lived with for 18 years won’t be there the next morning when I wake up. They are only an hour and a half away. But it’s not like we’ll be making that trip all the time. I’ll probably try to visit as much as I can though.
<br />
<br /> I’m actually tearing up right now just thinking about it. Isn’t that what life is supposed to be? Making your parents proud? They give you the gift of life and all you can do in return is make them proud to have had you. It sucks when parents don’t feel proud. You do something in hopes of getting their approval and they dismiss it. Everyone should be proud, because everyone is good at something. That something doesn’t have to be what someone else is good at. Everyone must find their own thing. I’m still looking for mine. I’m good at school because I’m good at doing things other people tell me. How awful does that sound? I don’t like to teach myself anything because I’m probably to scared to fail. I give myself the excuse that I want to learn from the best so I can be the best, but that comes from shear fear. I honestly don’t know much about anything. I don’t know much about life. I feel that the school system has failed me. School is just regurgitating facts back out at the teachers so they feel that they taught you something, even though you forget it all a couple weeks later. I think school is just a test. Well everything up to high school is anyway. It’s a test to see whether or not you can handle the forcing of information onto you. Most of the stuff we will never see again. They just test us to see that we are capable of learning something and progressing as a person. Once we pass the test, then what? After years and years of listening to someone tell you everything and you repeat it right back to them, what do you do? They’re not always going to be there telling you what to do. That is what is so messed up about school. All your life, you’ve been told what to do. Then at the end of all that, they just throw you out there and say “go do it.” But do what? No one is going to hold your hand forever and guide you through life. One day you’re going to be on your own. And it’s going to be scary. I’m scared right now. Scared of the world. Scared of the people in the world. Scared of what will become of me in my life. Will I succeed? Will I fail? Will I be happy? Will I be sad? Everything can all end in an instant. It’s scary to think that, but it happens. Mistakes do happen, some more damaging than others. I’m afraid to make mistakes. But good things happen from mistakes. Hopefully. Because you can learn from those mistakes. If you don’t learn anything, you’ve wasted an opportunity to grow.
<br />
<br />So I’m sitting here in my studio apartment on my laptop all by myself with my half-empty Bud Light can next to me. Yes I said “half-empty” because “half-full” just doesn’t fit with the tone of this essay. I don’t think that thinking the can is half-empty is a bad thing because it just means you miss what was once there. You enjoyed what was there and now it’s gone. As long as you enjoyed it while it was there, I think that is a good thing. I’m talking right now as if I’m high on medical marijuana or something, but I assure you I am not. I’ve been in this room all day because I don’t know what to do outside. I’m not the type of person to go up to someone and introduce myself. For those of you who know me know that this is incredibly true. I’m not going to jump in the pool and swim next to some random people and say “Hi, can I join you?” I’ll probably wait to meet people in my classes. Other than that, it looks like I might be in this room for a while. Actually early this morning I talked to the management because roaches showed up in my apartment. Yes I am living in a roach-infested apartment. Fascinating, right? Anyways, I reported the bug problem to them and the bug guy will come here on Wednesday. It’s Sunday today. You do the math. So instead of wait while bugs crawl by the soles of my feet, I went to Target to buy some bug spray and other essential items; which reminds me, I need to buy one of those shower hanger things to put the soap and stuff on. It’s a lot of effort to bend over for soap. For those of you wondering, I do shower alone. The only downside is sharing the bathroom with the apartment next to me. Oh well. As long as he doesn’t rush me while I’m taking a shit, I’ll be fine. I like sitting on the toilet for a long time. I know it’s bad for you, but it’s enjoyable. I can read my books and magazines and catch up on my thoughts. Sometimes I’m on it for so long that my legs fall asleep. Is that bad? Probably. Do I do it anyway? Yes, I do.
<br />
<br />I think that this is it for now. I have other things on my mind but I’m not going to share them with the internet universe. Some things should be kept private. Anyways, tomorrow I’m going to try to explore the town around me. I plan on visiting my future school again and locating the buildings where my classes are. Sounds like a good plan. I’ll let you know if I follow through with them.

I need something to do. I need an idea. (inside joke). One more year hopefully. One more year till I hopefully move out to a school that is far far away. Well not too far. Still in California, but not commuting distance. Nothing seems to be new anymore. Seeing re-runs and remakes only makes it worse. Doesn't anyone try to think of something new for a change? No. Why you ask? Because it's not worth it. There's always the risk factor. What does it come down to? Money. Why take the risk with something new when you can redo something that was already popular once before? No imagination. No effort. Laziness. I am writing this to you because I need something to keep me busy from writing my personal statements that I need to apply to UC's. For you foreign students (you know who you are), UC stands for University of California. With Cal States, we just fill in the blanks. What classes have you taken, and what grades have you gotten. Now for UC's, they want to know what makes you, "you." (I'm probably going to have a bunch of punctuation errors so go screw yourself for caring. This is a blog, not an editorial in the New Yorker). One more year... dot dot dot. New challenges. New excitements. How great, right? Not really. I'm sure I'll just fall back into routine one I get things going again. It's all a cycle. It's all a bubble. Once that bubble bursts, we're all screwed. I quote a lot. So forgive me. I have nothing or no one to write about, but for those of you with a 20 second attention span, you probably haven't even gotten this far on this blog. Why read right? Why not just be told everything? Follow directions and stick to them. Don't do things for yourself. No. That's thinking outside of the box. That's going against everything that they teach you. Read this. Write that. Think this. Do that. Blah. Blah. But wait. Wait a minute. Once you come up with an idea, an idea that can actually sell. They want it. It's then that they'll give you some consideration. So let's not celebrate the creative, let's celebrate the lazy. I'm not saying I'm the hardest worker out there. Because I'm not. I'm blogging for Christ's sake. I'm not out there working my ass off to support myself. Because I am already supported. I'm sheltered. And there lies the problem. Everyone's sheltered these days. (Now until we're 26). I haven't re-read this thing or proofread it, so if it sounds ridiculous, I apologize. But let's face it, maybe 1 person will make it this far. And for you I say, "thanks." Until next time, keep your head up.Brian Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04867650578979028594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749764698116592597.post-55724552482849477962010-08-04T13:51:00.000-07:002010-08-04T16:05:34.748-07:00Day 54I've been having pretty weird dreams lately. So I am taking this opportunity to document them to have them saved for years and years to come; well at least until blogspot goes under. Let's be honest, with the economy where it is right now, anything can go.<br /><br />But that's not the point. The point is that my dreams have been pretty crazy the past few nights. Must be the drugs. Just kidding. I don't, nor have I ever, done illegal substances. For the record, this blog does not condone, nor does it encourage the use of harmful drugs.<br /><br />Back to the point. Here is a story of one of the dreams I do remember quite vividly. You don't have to read it if you do not wish to, but it's for pure entertainment purposes only. So let's begin.<br /><br /><br />The sun is beginning to rise and I can see it's light pierce through my window shades. I think it's morning so I try to get enough energy to get myself out of bed. I lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling. It's summer time, so unless I have something truly important to do, I take my time in bed. Finally I bring myself to my feet and walk towards the door. I reach for the doorknob and slowly turn it. A lady is standing on the other side. A little startled, I ask who she is... No answer. I ask what she was doing there. She responds, "Hello, Brian. How have you been?" I say I'm doing just fine. She asks me if I would like to feel ten times better, as if I have just awoken from the best sleep of my life. I say, "Sure, that sounds great." She begins to tell me about this procedure that will rejuvenate my body and give me tons of energy. It will make my body look great and make me feel even better. I ask how it works. She says, "All you have to do is go back to sleep and we'll do everything for you." So I do just that. I walk back to my bed and get under the covers. I don't mind trying to fall back asleep again. She leaves and closes the door.<br /><br />I am awoken by the feeling of someone pulling on my arm. They have a long needle that they stick into the side of my shoulder. It was the same lady I saw earlier. I get a little woozy but my eyes are still open. A man with a doctor's suit and one of those old-fashioned reflector's on his head walks into the room. There's dry blood around the chest of his suit, with wet blood dripping down his stomach. The lady notices I can still move so she sits by my head and puts her arm around my face, her right palm covering my mouth.<br /><br />From his tray of supplies, the doctor brings out a circular saw and revs it up. I'm still trying to fight my way out of this, but the lady continues to hold me down. The doctor comes closer to me, and begins cutting into the right side of my stomach. I feel the pain but I can't scream. Organs start falling out; stomach first, and liver after. I feel myself throw up inside, but I can't do anything about it. Eventually I pass out from the sight of this awful situation. <br /><br />I wake up once again for what seemed like hours later. I put my feet on the floor but still sit on the bed. I see marks all over my body and feel the ridges from the cuts. I stand up to try to walk to the door, but another lady storms in. She says, "What are you doing here?!" Confused, I say, "I don't know, but I want to get out!" She says they do this all the time. I ask, "Who?" but she ignores me. All she said to me was that if you wake up before they finish the procedure, it'll be like it never happened. I say, "I'm asleep right now?" She continues her explanation of how none of this is real, and that she has the right drug that can wake me up. I tell her to give it to me quickly so I can get out of there. She shows me the needle, and tells me that the only way to take it is for her to place the needle in the gum behind my lower teeth. By this time, I'll do anything to get out of here. So I lay on my back. She hovers over me and brings the needle out. Slowly, she lowers it into my mouth. I can feel it pierce my gums. I twitch a little. She begins to push down the needle but something goes wrong and it slips. I hear a crack. The needle breaks off. I get worried but I have a feeling that she has another syringe she could easily use to inject the drug. She sits up with her back against the wall, looking terrified. "That's it. There's nothing I could do." I ask, "What do you mean?! I can still get out right?!" We hear footsteps coming towards the door. She says, "They're coming and I don't have anything left. It's over." I get mad. "You have to get me out of here! I can't be stuck here forever!" She keeps repeating to herself in a loud whisper, "It's over."<br /><br />The footsteps get louder. My adrenaline pumps faster. "Help me!" I'm practically shaking her head off her body. The footsteps reach the door. I turn around and see the doorknob turn. I get up and run towards the door. Right before I get to it, the door swings open and I jump through it. As I'm in the air going into the darkness, a giant force shoves me back and I go flying into the wall behind me.<br /><br />Right when my back hit the wall, I woke up. This time in real life. It had to be real. It felt real. It was morning the next day. I made it.Brian Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04867650578979028594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749764698116592597.post-31341662524379755122010-07-18T20:16:00.000-07:002010-07-18T21:31:22.937-07:00Fifty-Third DayI look to my left and turn the handle. The door pops open and I slowly get out. Walking through the parking lot on that dark Summer night, I could physically feel the invisible heat passing my face with each step. I walk alone towards the building, noticing that the large "W" on the side seems to be a bit brighter than the rest of the letters. Not knowing how to handle the situation, I carefully pull out a shopping cart from the lineup and begin my quest. I think to myself how could a place like this be this crowded this late at night? Kids were running everywhere as parents tried to get a hold of them. Toys were strewn on the floor, their packages half-opened and items missing. It wasn't a few steps away until I was brought to a halt by a woman in a nursing outfit bringing a half-gallon bottle of milk up to the check out counter. I politely say, "excuse me" and adjust my path to avoid running into her. She smiles and gives an approving nod. Barely making my way through the crowd, I notice the magazine stand that holds all the unnecessary periodicals of the week. Preparing for what I was about to purchase, I reach out for the latest issue of People Magazine and place it in the top part of the shopping cart where children are supposed to sit. I pull back and twist my way towards the main path. I was here for a specific reason; something that has been on my mind for months now. Still a little insecure, I casually turn into the correct aisle. I try to draw as little attention to myself as possible by keeping quiet and pretending to fit in. Spotting what I wanted, I reach my hand out to grab the second one in line; a little superstition of mine. I place my item under the magazine and turn around to face the front of the store. Step by step, I'm lightly sweating underneath my baseball cap. I take a minute to remove my cap and wipe my forehead with the side of my right sleeve. I get to the self-checkout line. Empty. Perfect. Push start. Scan item. Place in bag. Insert cash. Remove change. Place item in cart. I leave the People Magazine in the cart as it only served as a cover up of my real reason for being there. I take the bag out and return the cart to the excessively long line of unused shopping carts. The lady at the front of the store witnessed me pay for my item in line, so she throws me a grin and waves me across. Once outside the store, I felt accomplished. It was like unwrapping the golden ticket and running home to fully witness all the power it held. Trying not to get overly excited and cause a scene in the parking lot, I slow my pace down just a notch. A quick brisk walk to the car and I'm in. Not even a blip on the radar. Completely unnoticed. Perfect. Keys in the ignition. Turn and go. Another day. Another job well done.Brian Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04867650578979028594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749764698116592597.post-68432053114362623922010-04-25T18:20:00.001-07:002010-04-25T18:38:50.365-07:00Day 52I thought I'd share some facts with you about myself.<br />So here are 25 quick facts:<br /><br />1.

It's been way to long haha. I figure I'm going to write in paragraph form now. No point in hittin' the enter key over and over again. But anyways, getting back to the point. It's been a while. Nothing new has really happened. Been busy with school, once again. That shit is so pointless. I really want to transfer. Go to a cal state. Get my own apartment, and live on my own. I wonder how that would work out. I really have nothing much to say. So this post might be pointless. I'll try to think of the things that I've done over these past few months as I write this. Holiday's aren't holidays anymore. They're just normal days. Family dinners. No one celebrates Halloween or Christmas as much anymore. I guess because we're not 6 years old again right? Oh well. I finally got shit for my camera. A wide angle lens, a mic, and a light. Super legit. I can't wait to film stuff. But I just don't know what to film yet. Maybe I'll try writing my own little script for like a 5 minute movie. We'll see how that works out. I've tried before, but my scripts sound too fake and corny. The dialogue just sounds too 'scripted.' Oh well. I will work on it. I haven't used any 'networking' sites in a while. I deleted my myspace and facebook. All I have is a twitter now. I saw the other ones as pointless. Twitter is also a waste of time, but I want to have at least something. I forgot all my passwords for my other sites like this blog one and ebay and photobucket. My e-mail is filled with password resets now. Haha this post is so boring. I need a deep thought. Something that'll make you ponder for a bit. When I think of one, I'll quote it. Just wait a minute though... Just finished the winter session at Citrus. Took college algebra. Got a 108% in the class. Eazy Peezy haha. Now I get about 5 days off and the Spring Session starts wednesday. Damn I just want to get out of there. It's so boring. No one talks. No one does anything. All they do is complain how much work there is and how the teacher talks on and on about anything. Oh well. That's their opinion. I think that's about it. Haven't done much else. Went to a benefit for haiti show last week starring it's always sunny in philadelphia and family guy. It was so great. I really wish they have another one again. It was one of the best shows I've been to. It sucked when it was over. Was so sad. haha oh well. We'll always have the seasons to watch. Great shows. That's about it. I'm done for now. Off to find something to keep myself busy. Until next time.

48son of a biatchhh man<br />originally i was supposed to be at six flags right now<br />but something happened last night<br />that prevented me from attending<br />would you like to know what?<br />well i'm telling you anyways<br /><br />anyone know where nogales st meets la puente?<br />well i do<br />so i'm in the lane to make a left turn onto la puente<br />and there's a minivan in front of me<br />and normally the left green arrow comes first<br />meaning a protected left turn<br />but i guess not this time<br />so i'm anticipating a left turn<br />but the lady in front of me stops in the middle of the street<br />cuz of on-coming traffic<br />but i couldn't stop in time<br />and rear ended her<br />so we pull over<br />and there's no damage to either cars<br />none<br />but she says she might have whiplash<br />and she was a little startled<br />so we exchange information and all that<br />and went on our ways<br /><br />so i report it today<br />and i guess i'm losing my 'safe driver bonus' with my insurance<br />so i have to pay an extra 50 bucks a month<br />bulllshittttt<br />people make mistakes right?<br />oh well<br />bastards<br />we'll see how that lady turns out<br />i hope she's ok<br /><br />anyways<br />i was planning on renting taxi driver<br />its an old movie starring robert dinero<br />but they didn't have it<br />so i rented star wars<br />cuz i've never seen it<br />it's pretty legit<br />i watched it last night<br />and i'm watching it again right now<br />i don't know why it's so good<br />haha<br />people think of star wars fans as big nerds and losers<br />oh well<br />i like the movie<br />i'm not gonna memorize it though<br />or dress up like them<br />that's another thing<br />i wanna see episode 5 and 6 now<br />i probably

Daybored<br />second post of the day<br />just got done cleaning my room<br />waiting for my laundry to finish<br /><br />this post is entitled<br />"if i won the lottery"<br /><br />first off let's take a look<br />at how much i would get<br />if i won the mega million lottery this friday<br />it says 207 million dollars<br />but estimated value is 130 million dollars<br />even with that tax cut<br />it is still a ridiculous amount of money<br />for one person to have<br />130 million spread over 26 years<br />comes out to about 5 million a year<br />so for 26 years<br />that means i'll be about 46 years old<br />i'll be getting 5 million dollars a year<br />for doing absolutely nothing<br />ridiculous<br /><br />now<br />let's say i happen to win that money<br />what would i do?<br />what would you do?<br />i'd like to hear your plans<br />but here's mine<br />first off i'd buy a nice house for my mom<br />so she could retire and relax and enjoy her life<br />because she's worked hard all her life for my brother and me<br />but it wouldn't be like a crazy huge mansion<br />cuz there's only 4 of us in my family<br />so that would be unnecessary<br />so i'd have a big house for my family and me<br />maybe with a nice pool<br />and baseball field or something<br />then a few dogs to run around the yard<br />have to have a corgi<br />look it up<br />awesome dog<br />then i'd supply my family with cars and blah blah<br />one car each though<br />that's all you need<br /><br />thenn we still have what?<br />like 110 million dollars left<br />ridiculous<br />hmmm<br />how about i open my own movie theatre?<br />cuz i freakin love movies<br />anyone who knows me would know that<br />so i'd open a nice ass movie theatre<br />that would supply many job opportunities<br />and have my own theatre for my friends and me<br />theatre number 1<br />for like midnight showings and stuff<br />awesome<br /><br />but life's not all about fun and games my friend<br />you still have to think about others<br />so with this ridiculous amount of money i have<br />i'd donate more than a million dollars to feed unfortunate kids<br />kids who don't have parents to take care of them<br />kids who don't have parents to buy them a car<br />or take them on a vacation<br />or do something for them that we see as normal<br />but are we grateful for it?<br />i'm sure they would be<br /><br />that's all i could think of at the moment<br />i've thought of other stuff too<br />but i cannot remember it all right now<br />one thing i wouldn't let happen<br />would be to let the money control me<br />i'd still go to school and get a degree in something<br />maybe film<br />cuz what's the point of having the opportunity to go to school<br />if you don't take advantage of it?<br /><br />that's what i'd do<br />again i'd like to hear your thoughts<br />any will be fine<br />thank youBrian

44quick post right now<br />busy day yesterday<br />woke up around 8 ish<br />got ready and left for ucla<br />got there a little after 11<br />worked on a show called 'how i met your mother'<br />it was pretty fun<br />the only bad part was that there were about 300 people there<br />it was for a college classroom scene<br />i guess the main character of the show becomes a professor<br />and we're his 'students'<br />you'll see why i added quotes to that if you see the episode<br />it was fun though<br />took about 10 hours to film<br />but we just sat there<br />they told us to bring our laptops<br />i couldn't get wi fi though<br />cuz i needed a ucla account :/<br />but i just played solitaire and a little of rollercoaster tycoon 2<br />and read my book for a little too<br />the main guy is funny<br />he was pretty chill<br />and we all had a few laughs<br />good stuff<br /><br />however i wasn't expecting to get out so late<br />i guess they had to get many different camera angles<br />so it took a while to film a section<br />then cut and move the camera to get the reverse angle<br />so we ended up getting dismissed at 10:18<br />and i had to rush over to chino hills<br />to meet the friends to see the midnight of district 9<br />i made it and let me tell you<br /><br />that movie was a trip<br />at first you're like ok this is dumb<br />aliens walking around with humans and talking<br />but it actually gets better<br />the main guy was a great lead actor<br />and it's funny how he says 'fuck'<br />he always says 'fook' or 'fooking'<br />but the movie was cool<br />not cheesy effects<br />decent action that was necessary and not over the top<br />it actually fit into the story<br />which was good<br />it's a trip<br />you gotta see it to know what i'm talkin about<br />i won't say any 'spoilers'<br />but it's cool<br />kinda gross too<br />and unintentionally funny<br />like they weren't going out of their way to make it funny<br />they kept the seriousness of the movie<br /><br />anyways i'll stop for now<br />i'm watchin the 1989 Batman movie<br />with my boy J nicholson<br />i'm out for now<br />good day....Brian

Daywow got a lot to write about<br />where to begin<br />apparently i haven't updated this thing in a while<br />let's start shall we?<br /><br />hmm not a very big exciting weekend<br />saturday hung out with joseph and christina and her friend laura<br />and her out-of-town new jersey friend caitlin?<br />i think that's how you spell her name<br />we didn't do much though<br />met them at petsmart<br />looked at rats<br />then went to best buy<br />cuz i wanted a little mouse for my laptop :)<br />too bad it doesn't make sound effects though<br />cuz that's what everyone was doin when they saw it<br />after that event<br />we went to fazoli's<br />which is still really bomb<br />got a lotta food for about 7 bucks<br />and unlimitied breadsticks are back :)<br />oh yea<br />and it upsets me when people mock my parking skills :(<br /><br />after that<br />went to joseph's to chill<br />he watched entourage online<br />i rented 2001: A Space Odyssey<br />that movie was complete bullshit<br />i don't even want to get into it right now<br />i get all the messages it was sending<br />and how it's trying to make you think about life<br />but shit was way too boring<br />and i read up about it<br />and apparently it's a stoner movie<br />that was popular in the 60's<br /><br />moving on<br />monday morning<br />woke up at 4 AM<br />to get ready and be in LA by 6 o clock<br />why you ask?<br />i got booked for a show called the mentalist<br />never heard of the show<br />but apparently others have<br />anyways<br />i had to bring crutches to pretend like i had a broken leg<br />and it was a scene where we were walking through a hallway<br />that leads into a courthouse<br />it was alright<br />they didn't feed us though :(<br />but we only stayed for like 3 hours<br />but i got paid for the full 8 :)<br /><br />after that<br />since i got done so early and i was in LA<br />i decided to visit my mom at work cuz i never have<br />the last time i went there, i was probably 10 or 11<br />so i meet my mom in front of her building<br />and we go down the parking structure to park my car<br />and my front axel broke as we were driving down<br />we just heard a loud pop<br />and at the bottom of the hill<br />i tried to give it gas<br />but the car would just shake and not move<br />so we called AAA and they came about 2 hours later<br />and they took my car to my mechanic<br />about 200 bucks to fix it :/<br /><br />that's about it for the week<br />oh yea<br />and i got some news that is pretty sad<br />as you all know i am friends with joseph and rick<br />and today they board a plane for tokyo for 10 days :/<br />what to do for ten days?<br />i have no idea<br />have fun my friends<br /><br />that is all<br />wait<br />while at my mom's work<br />i

Dayjust got home about an hour ago<br />from my little extra work<br />pretty interesting day actually<br />lets start from the beginning<br /><br />so i get booked for the show called cougar town<br />its a new show coming out later this year i think<br />buttt before we get to that<br />on my way to the show<br />it was in van nuys<br />so i'm on the freeway driving in some traffic<br />and i look over<br />and see a weird classic hot rod type car<br />and as i'm driving past it<br />it's jay freaking leno driving it<br />it was a trip<br />i should've taken a picture of him<br />but that would be dangerous<br /><br />anyway so i get to the high school<br />where they're filming a football scene<br />i'm in the little crowd sitting next to the actors<br />so i figure i'll just be a random person far away from everything<br />butt noooo<br />in comes courtney cox<br />monica fucking gellar<br />excuse the language<br />but i'm sitting about three people away from her<br />it was

40just feel like sending out a post real quick<br />did a lotta nothing today<br />finally watched harry potter and the goblet of fire<br />i could've seen it awhile ago<br />but someone misplaced it with treasure planet<br />i won't mention any names though<br /><br />hmm what else happened today<br />got a lotta sleep in<br />which is good<br />because i feel like i'm getting sick<br />strange because of the hot weather<br /><br />on friday<br />the family and i drove down to san diego<br />to see a george lopez stand up show<br />it was cool.<br />he's basically repeating his 'why you crying?' act<br />which is the funniest show he's ever done<br /><br />well let me tell you a story<br />of what happened before the lopez show<br />well we went to san diego during the day to hang out and eat there<br />we went to a restaurant called dick's<br />it was cool<br />i've been there before so it's no surprise<br />their trademark is that they treat you like a dick<br />they'll cuss at you or talk shit to you<br />it's pretty funny<br />then down the street from the restaurant was the san diego convention center<br />and what was going on there you ask?<br />it was comic-con weekend<br />so we see all the little nerds dressed up in comic book costumes<br />walking around the streets and taking picutres<br />i saw a guy dressed up as wolverine with his home-made claws<br />i saw the joker<br />i saw bender from futurama<br />and some other cool cats<br />annddd for some reason<br />hugh hefner's new twin girlfriends had a truck set up on the street<br />they were signing autographs and taking pictures<br />pretty neat i think<br /><br />well that's about it.<br />hopefully sleep will cure my headache<br />oh and i just finished alice in wonderland right now<br />finallyyy<br />never seen it before<br />happy un-birthday to me!Brian

Daygood evening...<br />tired.<br />sleepy.<br />lazy.<br />wanna know why?<br /><br />so i wake up today around 8 ish<br />that's in the morning<br />for a day full of raging waters magic<br />it was a lot smaller than i thought it was<br />maybe cuz the last time i went<br />i was probably 9 or 10<br /><br />so we get there about 10 ish<br />its about 100 degrees outside<br />but it was fun<br />we covered the park in like two hours<br />first ride was thunder rapids i believe<br />jordan tried pushing cupid out of the raft<br />he failed<br />then we went on many other rides<br />the best one in my opinion was raging racers<br />there's like 8 lanes<br />and you go down on a single raft on your stomach<br />it was a rush<br /><br />hmmm what else happened?<br />oh yea i got some good news<br />i finally have a tan line<br />there is finally a noticeable color difference in skin tone<br />it is amazing<br />didn't get burnt though so it's ok<br /><br />umm jordan's bro josh almost got into a fight kinda<br />remember the little thing where you walk across the lily pads<br />and you hold yourself up with a rope?<br />well josh and i tried to race across it<br />but some asian guy was having trouble in josh's lane<br />so he got stopped from winning the race<br />then later the asian guy comes to confront him<br />saying he gave him attitude when he was behind him<br />i guess he has little insecurity issues haha<br />oh well nothing happened...<br /><br />so 9 hours of walking around and getting soaked<br />it was fun<br />we might go again<br />some bombie girls there<br />too bad they're like 16<br />so they can't be bomb<br />cuz it would be illegal<br />or they'll be like 20 something or 30<br />but hey who doesn't like a challenge<br /><br />well that's about if for my day<br />got home a little while ago<br />rented smokin aces<br />never seen but hear good things<br />i might watch that tonight<br />or just pass out<br />we'll see how that turns out<br />until then<br />stay classy.<br />goodnight...Brian

38hello there<br />my name is brian<br />the weather is hot outside<br />the taco guy just got here to set up his station<br />and i just finished watching a movie<br />wanna know what movie?<br />one flew over the cuckoo's nest<br /><br />one of my favorite movies ever<br />everything about it is great<br />great characters<br />great direction<br />great story<br />great message<br />but wait<br />it's based on a book?<br />no wayyy<br />how could that be<br />it's true though<br />director milos forman managed to tell us a great story<br />that is derived from a novel<br />written by ken kesey<br />the only noticeable difference is that<br />the point of view isn't of chief bromden<br />but instead of mcmurphy's<br />still good in many ways<br />that's all i can say about it<br />go out and see it<br />or i might let you borrow it<br /><br />well today is saturday<br />very chill week<br />been swimming at loyo's a few times<br />gettin tanned<br />fired up the hooka last night<br />turned out pretty well<br />we decided we might get season passes for raging waters<br />i miss high extreme<br />that was the shit<br />but they took out raging rivers :/<br /><br />what else happened this week<br />on thursday<br />i spent all day at the universal studios lot<br />worked on a beatles rock band commercial<br />but due to contractual agreements<br />i can't say anything about it<br />seriously haha<br /><br />well that's it for now<br />nothing else as exciting<br />we'll see what's up for next week<br />later....Brian

Daykinda disappointed with the harry potter movie<br />not too badly<br />but not my favorite one<br />seemed kind of a pointless story to me<br />the whole thing was a set up<br />for the next film<br />like this just filled up space<br />took up time as we wait for the next movie to come out<br /><br />the little love scenes were too much<br />seemed a bit overkill to me<br />they spent too much time on that<br />not much on the story<br />no interest in the characters<br />the characters that were big in the old films<br />were just like background characters now<br />even if we do meet a new character<br />they're done after one scene<br /><br />i feel like they could've spent more time with the bad guys<br />those villains were mentioned in the beginning<br />and we find out their purpose in the end<br />but they don't spend a lot of time with them<br />i liked them<br />and feel like they had a lot of potential to do<br />many things with them<br />but i guess having the main characters drugged out by love<br />was more important<br /><br />the film had its subtle comedy<br />which ruins it in the end<br />because you don't feel sad by the fact<br />that dumbledore has died<br />he was harry's great friend<br />but it doesn't seem like a big deal that he's gone<br />and it seems they get over his death real quickly<br />because they just discuss their relationships right after<br />but that's just the feeling i got<br />they also could've added his funeral like joseph said<br /><br />i thought the scene with harry and dumbledore going to find<br />the part of the horocrux was great<br />they did that well<br />that's where the movie started to pick up<br />but this movie just seemed to be made<br />to inform us what a horocrux is<br />and to kind of bring all the films together<br />and give a purpose to them<br />now it sets it up for harry to find all 7 pieces of the horocrux<br />in order to kill voldemort<br />which is what he has been doing all along<br /><br />and we also learn that snape is the half blood prince<br />but then what?<br />does that change anything?<br />is anything different?<br />or is he just claiming possession of the potion book?<br />i feel like they should've explained that a little more<br /><br />but oh well<br />it was entertaining for a while<br />then the horny kids jokes got old<br />regular harry potter fans are going to like this movie<br />just cuz it's harry potter<br />i like the other movies better<br />can't wait for them to complete the series<br />goodnight....Brian

36Legit day today<br />woke up around 5 ish<br />had to go to hollywood this morning<br />worked on a show called heroes<br />ever heard of it?<br /><br />it was cool today<br />cuz cheryl and i both got booked<br />for the same show<br />andddd<br />they only needed 6 people<br />so out of everybody in the bizz<br />they put us on the same show<br />crazy right?<br />i thought so<br /><br />so we get to the studio<br />and we go to wardrobe and get everything<br />and we set up our little holding area<br />inside a fake room made in a studio<br />no doors<br />no lights<br />no plugs :/<br /><br />but it was fun<br />for 8 hours<br />we played uno, chinese checkers, and apples to apples<br />i lost to cheryl in apples to apples ):<br /><br />but it was still cool<br />they called me up to the set<br />first off let me explain the scene<br />it was a college dorm room<br />and hayden panettiere's character was walking through the halls<br />then she goes inside her room to talk to someone<br />sooooo<br />i played the guy that walks passed the door<br />searching through my backpack<br />looking at the bulletin board in the hallway<br />andddd<br />if u didn't put it together<br />i got to work with hayden panettiere!<br />before the director yelled action<br />we stood literally 3 feet away from each other<br />it was intense<br />she's short in person<br />and really muscular<br />she could kick my ass<br /><br />and cheryl was all star struck the whole time<br />not me<br />i kept my cool<br />cheryl would watch every person that went by<br />just to see if it was her<br />and then hayden finally passed by her<br />and she got all nervous and said hi<br />then she got all excited cuz she smiled back<br /><br />it was a good day<br />that's all for now<br />we'll see what's up for this week<br />goodnight.....Brian

Dayspeechless<br />nothing to say<br />modesty<br /><br />i can already tell this post is going to be confusing<br />just random thoughts going through my head<br />don't even know how to start<br /><br />anyone happy with everything today?<br />no i don't mean your favorite tv show was on today<br />or you got a free sandwich somewhere today<br />i mean with everything going on around you?<br />the big picture<br />the place beyond your shelter bubble<br />we see all these things going on<br />some you don't care about<br />some you do<br />it's not important if it doesn't matter to you right?<br />that's our thought process nowadays<br />if it doesn't concern me<br />why should i care<br /><br />lotta shit going on out there<br />some good<br />some bad<br />some caring<br />some greed<br /><br />what can we do about it?<br />absolutely nothing<br />wanna know why?<br />we're one in a million<br />many millions actually<br />would take a lot to make a change<br />also wouldn't matter if you wanted to change<br />because no one would care enough to put in effort<br /><br />then we got big brother over here watching our every move<br />can cover up anything with a few bucks right?<br />i'm not an anarchist<br />i'm not anti-american<br />i just think<br />i disagree with some things<br />and agree with others<br />but i'm just a kid<br />what do the lawmakers or congressmen care about<br />what a kid has to say?<br /><br />didn't mean to get all political<br />just my thoughts for the evening<br />why sometimes good things happen to bad people<br />do good things happen because they work hard for them?<br />or do they sometimes just get things handed to them<br />believe in luck?<br />fate?<br />destiny?<br /><br />now i'm getting philosophical<br />again i apologize<br />not really<br />because i shouldn't apologize for my opinion<br /><br />it's 1 in the morning<br />july 8th, 2009<br />make a changeBrian

34got home about 40 minutes ago<br />it's 5:30 right now<br />i'm watching saved by the bell on tbs<br />i've been coming home this late<br />for the past three days<br />going to sleep at 7 AM<br />waking up around 3 ish<br />to go back to work at 7 PM<br />wanna know what i do?<br /><br />remember the post about iron man 2?<br />well i guess they needed more people<br />for a different scene or something<br />so i called in and got booked<br />it started on thursday and went over to friday<br />for those days we filmed at some LA high school<br />then i had the weekend off<br />and we continued filming monday tuesday and wednesday night/thursday morning<br />on these days we filmed at some dam area<br />it's in van nuys<br />they have a whole set up there<br />let me tell you about it<br /><br />it was fun<br />a great experience<br />today was the last day<br />it was really sad<br />for 5 days we got to meet new people<br />and they were about 12 hour shoots<br />so you get to know them very well<br />because for most of the time<br />you are sitting and waiting to go to the set<br />while they prepare it<br /><br />you get fed the whole time<br />once we get there it's hamburgers and hot dogs<br />then around midnight we break for lunch<br />which is like chicken fish roast beef and all that<br /><br />man i'm gonna miss it<br />made new friends<br />and i got to be filmed!<br />the whole scene they needed extras for<br />was for a crowd running away from 'drones'<br />i guess we're at a tony stark expo for new technology<br />and drones attack it<br />and we're screaming and running away from them<br />lotta running but it was fun<br />i had to put on my scared face<br />and cover my head<br />pretending there was an attack from above<br />then iron man comes in to save the day<br />it was cool<br />they had huge green screens surrounding us<br />some explosions in the grass<br />fun stuff<br /><br />this extras thing is a trip<br />all different kinds of people<br />different races<br />different ages<br />there were old ladies running through the crowd<br />i felt so bad for them<br />because some would push them out of the way<br />and for some people<br />this is their only job<br />they make the effort to call in<br />to get paid minimum wage<br />one guy said he was homeless<br />but at least he's working<br />he's not on the side of the street<br />begging for a donation<br /><br />the thing that bugs is when<br />these people think they're hot shit<br />just cuz they're on a movie set<br />they're in the freakin background<br />dont act like you're the star<br />but that's only a few<br /><br />once again<br />it was fun<br />i got paid to sit around and talk<br />we played cards and uno<br />i'm gonna miss it<br />the food<br />the people<br />the cameras<br />the special effects<br />oh well... just a story now<br />we'll have to wait and see<br />what show i get next<br />i'll keep you updated<br /><br
