So like… and stuff…

Yet again, I can’t seem to get on the ball with posting a blog. I don’t know what on earth it is about writing in the blog that I can’t keep it up. It might be something to do with the fact that I don’t really think anyone is really interested in reading what I have to write, since it’s all just random bits of junk. I really should find a purpose for this blog, and work towards that. Like, film-making or something.

Speaking of filming… my knees are killing me today. We were filming from sun down to midnight with no breaks, on a concrete slab, no sitting down. I think it’ll be a good short, but it’s still painful today. We really need to work on story-boarding our shots out so that filming goes faster and smoother. We also need to think about our lighting a bit more…  we just kinda throw it up and call it good enough. It’s not really consistent between shots.

Holy poop. There was something else I was going to write about but I have completely forgotten what it was. Alas, I guess that’s gone.

Anyway, to keep up to date with our films, be sure to visit www.thirstydogproductions.com

How?

How has it been a month since I last made an update on my blog? I was doing so well there for a while, being sure to update almost every day, or at least a couple times a week. Then all of a sudden, I just went and dove into oblivion.

In my defense, it has been a really rough month. I’ve had a lot of personal things going on. A lot of nights I just sit there staring at my desk, trapped in my own mind. Really quite annoying.
Things are starting to get a little easier though. All it takes is time.

I’ll try to get into the habit of posting again, but I am not making any promises.

Day Twenty-Eight: A Picture Of What You Wore Today

Seriously? I have to get up out of my chair and take a picture of myself? Then remove the card and plug it in to my computer? Then resize it? I am regretting deciding to do a second one of these tonight.
I think I am going to pass on that and just try to find what I am wearing on google images.

Day Twenty-Seven: Favorite Television Program

Hey look at that! We’re getting really close to being done with this thing. Thank goodness! Then I can start writing about other things… what, I don’t know. I just don’t ever feel like writing anything else when I know that I have to do this meme thing. It’s like it uses up all most blog words for the night.

Anyway, favorite television program. This one is another difficult one, as I don’t watch much television. I guess I’ll have to settle with NCIS, as it was the last TV show I was watching when I stopped really watching TV. I still enjoy catching the marathons of it on lazy Sunday afternoons. I’ve seen most of the episodes more than once and it still never gets old.

I think I’ll do one more tonight and two tomorrow, finishing up the 30 days of Jon.

Day Twenty-Six: Favorite Form of Exercise

Hiking wins hands down. I’ll go for a simple walk if I can’t have a hike, but I enjoy hiking so much more than anything else I have tried. There’s just something about getting out there in the fresh air with the trees surrounding you and feeling like you’re the only person on earth. Unless you have a buddy with you, of course. Which is just as much fun as being alone. I love hiking with another person; it keeps me from talking to myself like a crazy person.

I would love to hike the Appalachian trail some day, but I’m not sure when that would happen. I’d love to be more in shape and somehow have the money to do it… but we all know how that goes. Maybe I can do the “in-shape” part, but I’m still waiting on that pallet of money to drop out of the sky that lets me dispose of it in any way I see fit.

Day Twenty-Five: A Guilty Pleasure Food

Oh man, this one is a difficult one. I go back and forth on this, just for the simple reason that I don’t really like food all the time. Sometimes I just get so sick of eating that I just stop for a meal or two. I find eating to be a rather disgusting and unenjoyable task in life. That sounds pretty ridiculous, but it’s true.

But if I had to say one for when I am liking food… probably raw cookie dough? I’m really not sure… I can never think of it unless I see it and start eating it. So, next time I have some I’ll be sure to post it on my blog (rolls eyes).

Day Twenty-Four: Favorite Athlete From Your Favorite Sport

Well, I don’t really have a favorite sport that I can think of, so that makes it a little hard to come up with a favorite athlete. I used to say that horseback riding was my favorite sport, but I haven’t followed that in the slightest for the past several years; so I can’t even claim that one anymore. Seems like the last sport I really watched was baseball, but I didn’t keep up with that either. Never had any favorite players. I’m just not a really sporty guy; never had any interest in them.

Day Twenty-Three: Favorite Name for a Child

This wasn’t actually the phrasing of the question, but I think it’s more in line with what the question actually was asking. I don’t think much about children’s names that I would use if I had a child. I used to think about it more when I was dating and talking about marriage, and did discover that there were two names that I tended to gravitate towards when thinking about what the names of my kids would eventually be. The names were “Gabriel” for a boy and “Autumn” for a girl.

I know many people think it’s stupid to think about names for kids before you actually have them, and in partial I would agree with them… but, for some reason it’s always been on my heart to have a family. Even since before I was really interested in girls, I liked the idea of having my own family and raising my own kids. I’m not sure why, as that defies all reasoning, but it’s the truth. Which can come across as me just being one of those stupid people who tries to have a baby as soon as humanly possible; that’s not true either (obviously).
Being wise about the time in which to have a family was also very important to me. I wasn’t/am not interested in having a family untill I know that I can provide for it. I still know that that’s years and years away. So, one day I might be able to fulfill that dream of telling my daughter how beautiful she is, or having a game of catch with my son, if that’s what God graces me with… but for now, I am content with where he has me.

Dang, I need to hurry up and get through this meme… it’s taking way too long.

Day Twenty-One: A Picture of Your Dream House

A picture of my dream house? I don’t think there is a picture in existence of my dream house. Maybe something similar, but I have never seen a picture of what I want. So, I guess I’ll go off to google and just find something similar. Maybe.

Alright, the picture I found is just a drawing, but it reflects pretty closely to what I would love to have. An english stone cottage with a large garden and walking paths. I’d love to find a way to work in a turret, but you know… whatever. And it’s got to have a secret library or something.

Some day… maybe… that’d be so awesome.
