| Wow. I can't hardly believe I haven't posted anything here in so long. I will probably be writing more often. Life is good. And I have grown since the past posts. Amazing how much a person can grow and mature in such short time, wow. | | |

Well I just got back from seeing this movie. My initial feeling was
excitement. However its amazing just how powerful media is on the mind.
IMO the movie was really dark. I'm not being light about this movie, it
was really dark. And I'm not exactly at the spiritual level I should be
and I was weirded out. One part was the strangest/ most demonic
reference I've seen in any mainstream movie of these times. The main
bad guy who is satan's son calls upon 1,000 souls to be his slaves. And
once his body has absorbed the souls he calls himself "legion, we are
many" Like the writers read the Word and took the text right from the
pages There were some people I wanted to see this movie with, but now
I'm hesitant they should see this. Aside from the fact the whole movie
was based around making deals with the devil, the movie was
predictable, and in my professional opinion, not very pleasing to the
eye. The story could have been told much better. But enough of my picky
side speaking. The really scary thing was as I walked out of the
theater people were like, "yeah I liked it". They weren't phased at
all, while my insides were on fire. There were little kids I would
estimate 7-8, I'm sure they weren't 10 yrs old and they were saying how
they thought it was awesome. when I was their age that would give me
nightmares for a week. Its insane the tolerance to evil the next
generation has. It really makes me wonder.... I know my calling and
through this I can see how powerful the media is. It is controlling.
Kids that will eventually come after me are at a critical point. They
are surrounded by sex, drugs, satanic presence, and they are numbed by
it. And I want to be a part of the team that changes that. With that I
am realizing that if we as Christians in the media are to succeed we
have to be the best. People will pay for movies that are good, not
lame. Our movies/TV has to be top quality and have some kind of high
entertainment like the classics. People still talk about those movies
that used minimal special effect and more storyline and heart. I just
never thought that media was such a powerful tool. And before I ramble
on to the point that you won't want to read anymore just think about
it. Movies and TV, you watch either one or both. What are you watching?
And be honest. I'm reassessing what I watch and how much junk I'm just
letting in without thinking about it. A couple Fridays ago I went out
with some people, and since then I have been really listening to my
music. And I'm beginning to see what I'm letting in my head. And its
not all that great, now that I really listen to the lyrics. So to
Ashley and Amy thanks a lot, its true, music is really powerful.

| Take me,
The body, soul and the mind,
The past and the future and put it aside,
To see,
What's standing right in front of me,
The chance to change who I want to be,
The right and the wrong,
Separated by my sanity,
And I am,
Ashamed of the secrets inside,
Yet I still let them hide,
Deep inside the wounds and scars,
Growing until they have gone too far.
* * *
I will,
Stand up to the fear,
Screaming in my ear,
Saying she will never appear,
I can,
But sometimes feel down,
Yet I know I will come around,
No matter,
What words they might say,
It will never push you away.
* * *
The music flows through my veins,
As it blows out my brains,
With ideas and thoughts to digest,
To bring out the art is my true test,
I am,
The everything you want me to be,
Now its my choice,
To accept my destiny.

| So I guess its time for another view into the window of my life. I am addicted to another game. Dofus, yeah silly right? Well not if you like tunr based 3-D cell animation strategy games... well I do.... Drinking tea while my dog is sleeping on my bed waiting for the parents to get home. And my iPod is blazing the new FOB album. Its pretty good, better than the last one. So what will this post have to say of importance? Nothing. Just things on my heart. Last night was quite an amazing night, one of the best in a long time. It was great just to be able to spend some quality time with a good friend and not really be relegated by time. These last few weeks have really begun to take a toll on me mentally and physically. Most every day is scheduled to the second. And when I['m not running around to work or a class I'm trying to pump out ideas for productions. Not only for TV prod, but for movies beyond my college years. And last night I just stepped away from that person. I could relax, talk, laugh, and just enjoy the surroundings and conversation. And to Ashley I want to say thank you for a wonderful time. (Except for the cold winds) In fact I am enjoying just sitting and typing this post. I have only one plan. To write a thank you letter to my aunt for her plane ticket to LA in May. w00t!! Disneyland for my 21st here I come!!! So as this post continues I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I sure am. Sometimes I wonder about the people I know right now. Will I still know them in the next five years? Do I know my wife, even though I don't know who it is? Why ORU instead of a film school? Why here and now? What lies in store? I don't know. Perhaps time will tell.
