Christmas is Hard

admin — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:58:07 +0000

As I have grown in age and knowledge, holidays have begun to mean less and less to me. Christmas was my favorite holiday as a child. I have so many amazing and magical memories. The reason Lovely, Still takes place during Christmas was for that reason. But now, as an adult, Christmas has its supreme bummer qualities. The whole consumerism thing is ridiculous and I don’t really think people should be kind and jolly to each other only one time during a year. You should always be a good person right? Right.

Getting presents for people has become the most difficult. As I don’t want to give some standard consumer gift that means nothing (Like a candle or coffee maker or something). I have to spend a lot of time figuring out the best, personal gifts for my parents of significant other. But I suppose it’s a good way to keep you focused on the people you love and the things they care about.

I’m also starting to understand the “Time of year for peace and love and being jolly” thing. Maybe the reason this was created is because the winter time is so freaking miserable. Omaha has been in the middle of a horrible snow storm for a week now. But everyone still tries to be jolly. They help each other push cars and always smile when you walk by them with your face freezing. It’s pretty rad and, as a cherry on top, people make their houses really pretty and covered in light. A big beautiful distraction for this horrible winter weather.

Anway, this entire post was just me procrastinating and distracting myself from actually thinking of honest “real” gifts to give the people I love. I also don’t have money so I have to be really creative.

Hey everyone. HERE IS A TRAILER for a new doc my friend Robb directed. I went on tour with them and was a CAMERAMAN.

Reserve it, check it out, feel it. CSS and TILLY both are the kindest, most inspiring bands I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. And we all are really great at freaking out together.

GREAT BAND!

Just saw Melt Banana again. Truly one of the funnest bands to see live. They are from Japan. Really really amazing and loud and mind blowing. I can’t stop thinking about the show. The first 1/2 hour they played in complete darkness with flashlights on their heads. RAD!

Check out the live video Higgins took.

Lovely, Still has a spring release in the US.

Finished the final touches on my Tony Millionaire script. hope to be shooting a new feature soon.
