THE UPSIDES

I saw the Wonder Years on April 24th in Des Moines.

They played with Set Your Goals and Comeback Kid.

It was one the best shows I've ever been to. The Wonder Years' newest release changed my life. The lyrics can never be more true.





From The Wonder Years:
More than anything else, The Upsides is a record about fighting back. I felt like the past year left me and all of my friends defeated. Our early-twenties had beaten us down. We listened to sad songs and we watched sad movies and we talked about sad shit. It was like everyone looked at the rest of their lives and decided that now was the time to start being miserable. A lot of the lyrics for this record were written on my bike while I avoided traffic and bad parts of the city. Before we actually started writing songs, I had compiled a notebook full of the lines that I pulled from the fog my breath produced on all of my freezing, snowy morning bike rides. I had given up, and this was going to be a record about just that, and then, one day, I was riding my bike down 19th Street on the way to work and from the top of Callowhill, I could see that the fountain at Logan Circle had been turned on. Something clicked in my head and I guess it was because this meant it was Spring, or maybe it was just because it reminded me of happier times, but I decided then that it wasn't okay to be this defeated at twenty-three. A few months later the band moved into the house I was living in South Philly with my girlfriend and roommate. They slept on the floor of our living room and every day we would wake up and walk down into the 15-square foot basement to write songs. We spent a very long, very hot month between May and June surviving on freezie-pops and Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee alone. Everyone, literally and figuratively poured themselves into this record as we must have lost a collective ten pounds from sweat alone. My basement still smells terrible to this day. There were a few times when we walked upstairs after an argument and I didn't think we'd ever come back down because every song was that important to every one of us. The result is a record that we're all very proud of and that I think carries a very real message. The whole world wants you to be miserable. It wants you to put your head down, sigh to yourself and give up on being happy, and I know just as well as anyone that sometimes, giving up seems like the only option, but if you take one thing from this record, I hope it's this: Don't give those mother-fuckers an inch. Stand your ground every chance you get because everybody deserves a chance to be happy.

There's just too much

There's a lot of information out there. My brain can't process all of it. I really can't organize all the thoughts going through my head, and I don't know how to priortize my list so I can study one thing at a time. I just want to know it all.

Funny how I have this problem when I'm not in college. I should have went to film school. The last few nights, I've stayed awake until 8 A.M. reading spec scripts and screenwriting books. On top of that, I've been researching innovative film angles and reading on how to edit different camera shots.

I also have to fit in my daily blog reads/ movie news/ music news/ and stand-up shiz.

I'm falling behind in my booking for SUB things and different errands I keep forgetting about.

Blah. Summer isn't long enough.

Tomorrow we start test shooting for one of the short film scripts I wrote. We'll see how this goes,

Bringing Back Old Shiz

So it's almost been a year since I've posted the blog I'm about to share with you.

I went back and read some of my earlier stuff and this entry ended up sticking out more than the others. There's no specific reason why. Well, maybe because I didn't read every post because I took a few breaks in the process. It was worth it though, I mean who would pass up the chance to take a shit on my younger brother's FIFA 07 on Gamecube's France team? I wouldn't, that's for sure.

Either way, this post from June 18, 2009 has never been more true.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up at 2 PM today, nothing unusual about that though. It's been really hot lately and the humidity makes me feel like my skin is melting. Whoever built my house is a total douche waffle because he put my ceiling fan in backwards. It spins so that all the air is blown towards the roof of my house. What a crappy investment. He probably did it on purpose. He's probably also a pedophile.

With the success of The Hangover, it looks like HBO nabbed Galifianakis right on time. Jason Schwartzman and Galifianakis star in a new HBO original series about an alcoholic writer (Schwartzman) who moonlights as a private detective and his comic book writer friend (Galifianakis)serves as a supporting main character. The new show is called BORED TO DEATH and is expected to premiere in the new HBO original series season.

Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifiankis rule. Those two, Jonah Hill, Lebron James, Megan Fox, and Re Runs of Thats So Raven will rule the world someday.

The new HBO series will be amazing and it's going to be one of those treasures that hundreds of kids own in a box set form and pretend that they're the only ones who watch it, making them cooler than the cool. I promise that this show will be more hilarious than a frat kid falling on ice.

Tease

Today I realized that children grow up too fast.

I've been told that determination and motivation will bring abundant rewards. Most of the time that philosophy is spewed to me, I know they're referring to money. Society yells and demands us to be greater than our parents. To make money and raise a healthy family.

One day, it was decided that a successful life was attributed to gains in a bullshit economy filled with bullshit politics. Society deemed it okay to prepare a future army. Modern day Sparta gave children Blackberrys and four-year high school plans before giving them a scooter or rollerblades.

Today, children dream of being chiropractors and nurses. A child told me at work the other day he wanted to work at the dream killer, Pella Corporation, when he grew up.

What happened to dreaming of going to space or becoming a professional wrestler? When did updating your Xbox Live messages become more important than a game of hide and go seek?

Dear dreamkillers,
I am 20 years young and I'm telling you to go fuck yourself. When I grow up, I'm going to the moon. I'm going to make a movie. I'm going to go on tour and be a rockstar. I'm going to be an FBI agent. I'm going to play ghost in the graveyard. When I grow up, I'm going to be better than you. Because I will feel better than you. Because I will outlive you. When I grow up, I will never grow up.
