Okay I screwed up not performing all my tasks today. It wasn't completely in vain I got to work on my friend's film. Working on student films at this point in my career has always been pretty hit or miss, but today was a good one. I was actually given plenty to do, I even got to film small segments. Whenever I'm working on a film I feel like a spend a large amount of time selfishly thinking about my own projects. The paradox is I always walk away with a more valuable experience if I actually devote my energy to said film, because working hands on and not with my head in the clouds I learn that film is something attainable. And this is even if I'm doing something as simple as setting up some lights or giving input on a shot. Something I was also thinking about was that is actually well timed to find myself working on a film. What I always think on the set of a small film, is when I look at all the people helping out and I think its awesome that the director has this many people behind him. That or he did a lot of sexual favors...For so long I think I was worried that I didn't have those same amount of resources, but in the past week its become more and more apparent that people want me to succeed. I just hope I can remember that.
Three positive memories from yesterday. 1. While playing pool downtown with my friend, she is someone friends with almost every bartender we come across and the bartender prepared us some shot that was extra spicy. Which I how I prefer my drinks. I have no idea what was in it but maybe its better that way. 2. Me and two other friends, while on the way to a show, had lots of laughs. The best however was when we stopped at Publix and I jumped on one of the motorized scooters and rode it around the parking lot. 3. We brought my buddy Mike a balloon instead of a flower to celebrate his performance, of course he lost it as soon as we gave it to him.
