I am from nowhere

My summer vacation

2006-08-30T20:53:06Z

I promised Victor an update. My last five-four-whatever months could be summed with this.

FRIENDSHIP

I promise someday I'll make a real update again

What more can I say?

2006-03-23T06:04:45Z

I'm sorry, but the Grey Album is way better than the Black Album.

I shoot tomorrow. Also Friday.

KAPOW!

"If I had to I could clean out my desk in five seconds and nobody would ever have known I had been here. And I'd forget too."

It's moments like this that makes me believe that The Office(U.S.) is the most human show I have ever seen.

Sorry. No laugh track every 15 seconds.

Hooray for Greg Daniels and not messing it up.

Anyway... I'm working on a new script for Directing 1 at the moment. I've trashed my last script. I'll save it for when I can make it happen(too much production, but it is very possible and not that expensive) and when I know how deep I need to go.

Well, my Spencer's gift mug speaks for itself...

2006-01-26T04:25:48Z

Well the past week has been crazy. Directing/Shooting/Acting in/Editing movies like crazy and I just can't get ahead in this game.

Let me give you an example....... Thursday I acted in a film and then shot my film 3 hours later. On friday I shot a movie at a party with Brett (I will say: best film shoot I've ever been on. Being kinda drunk and shooting a movie is the most wonderful experience. Especially when we've got 40 drunk extras who will not listen to us at all!). This weekend I went in to edit on saturday and sunday. On monday I was editing all day until 1:30 am. Went to bed around 2 am. Woke up at 5 am to go back to campus to finish. Then during class was assigned something else to shoot due by friday. Yay! I'm shooting tomorrow after class...

I will say I was really bummed after the film I directed, you know, the actual shooting process. I thought everything went wrong and I didn't feel like I got all the shots I wanted to get. But you know what.... It turned out pretty nice. Way better than I would have expected. My editor did a great job(Brett).

Well, it's all done and on tuesday I showed it in class. They laughed, so I was pretty content with just that fact. I mean... I don't know if I could have taken the soul crushing defeat of no one laughing at my movie. With all the work I put into it I would have died a little inside if no one would have laughed at the jokes.

I'll burn another DVD tomorrow so I can spread that around shit like a wild-fire.

With the little free time I've had, I've been watching the U.S. version of The Office. I can really say now that I love it so much more than the British version. I think it's definitely the fact that Steve Carell puts the funny up my ass everytime he comes on screen-- you know... even though it's not REALLY funny (Stupid funny?). But, I'm beginning to like the guy who plays Jim a lot more then the guy from the British version(he was in Hitchhiker's Guide...). I think he's a pretty amazing actor. He plays the "nice guy" and he actually comes off as a... convincingly nice guy with no quotes involved.

Don't get me wrong. I like both versions (and the actors in both).

I'll leave you with this: The Best Cyber Sex

Best thing that would be forwarded to me and deleted before I would even look at it ever!

My little brother just discovered rock n' roll. He's only 22 and he's out of control!

Oh man. The band Boris is like the Deftones. Except not shitty. It's amazing.

Check out their album Pink. Fucking metal.

Oh and they're Japanese. I don't know what the hell they're saying.

Eric says...

2005-12-29T06:15:53Z

In Eric's triumphant return to listening to tons of fucking music, like he used to back in the day, he's realized that the band Animal Collective is not how he left it. The band is so much bigger than it once was and gaining a much wider audience; while producing the same tripfolk it once and always has. That and they have a new CD out. Eric missed them in concert with The Black Dice around 1 year ago. He should have gone. Oh no! When they come back they might be at the House of Blues!

Eric also noticed that Coheed and Cambria's(a band Eric should be ridiculed for listening to) graphic novel has come out and is supposedly available. He's gonna buy that shit as soon as he can find it-- no matter how bad it is!

Will Eric continue to write about himself in 3rd person? Find out next month in the next installment of Eric's Livefuckingjournal!

clap your hands and say "yeah!"

2005-09-12T07:44:19Z

My to do list...

1. Make an appointment to get my left wrist x-rayed. I've got some kind of swelling/bump/bone-growth/something.
2. Get my AC fixed sometime this week (I have money now!)
3. Make sure amazon.com got the address changes for my order (I ordered two books for my foundations of story class, Fight Club (the book), Rodger Dodger (New York indie film), and Bottle Rocket (of Wes Anderson fame).
4. See 40 Year Old Virgin for free at work. Feel free to tag along with us.
5. Write my 3 minute personal oral story.
6. Begin work on my monologue for my acting class. (Honestly numbers 5 and 6 are the only homework I've had ALL SEMESTER)
7. Watch season premiers of random TV shows.
8. Find someone to work my shift on my birthday (Sept. 16)
9. If 8 occurs: Get wasted on my birthday :D
10. If 8 does not occur... Get wasted anyway :D (I didn't buy a liter of vodka for nothing)
11. Mess with the music program Reason 3.0 more. I've actually been able to get some crazed beats going. ROCK!

Comment if you're alive. You can even comment even if you're dead.

It's okay. I'll allow it.

Facts

2005-08-20T17:03:37Z

1. I had my film orientation the other day-- However, I was not even aware that it was happening. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time on the UCF campus to find out about it.

2. (blank)

3. Work has brought me no money. I've filled out a bunch of applications for places in waterford lakes. I need to turn them in soon.

4. My film schedule has me on fridays off! I think that's pretty cool. And the only day I have more than 1 class is wednesday.

5. I'm at my new apartment now. Everything is pretty situated and has been for a couple weeks now. The only thing left to buy is a dinning set, which I can't afford because of #3 on this list.

6. So with the film orientation yesterday I realized something: I may never meet any new people ever again at UCF. It's a scary thought. Technically I met everyone I will know for the next 3 years yesterday. Apparently adding a minor into your schedule is almost impossible (I want to do Psychology as a minor) and this really bogs me down. I'm sure I'll figure something out.

the smallest update

2005-07-29T03:07:14Z

1. My iBook is broken. Took it to some place on fairbanks. This makes Eric a sad panda.
2. My air conditioner in my car is broken. They would like me to pay 675 bucks for a new compressor. Not gonna happen... at least at that place. I know I can get it less than that from Steve.
3. Got a new monitor. 21 inch widescreen dell monitor. 2005FPW. OM teh G.
4. Gradually moving into my new apartment. I could have moved in a week ago, but lack of furniture, bedding, couch, ect, stopped me from doing that. I expect I'll be moved in my at least saturday if not tomorrow. It's really nice.
5. Film orientation Aug. 19th. Hella!
6. SEXY PARTIES!
7. I'm gonna quit my job, but only after I find a new one.
8. Need to decorate my apartment.
9. Need to listen to some new music.
10. My final exam for AMH2010 is on wednesday. I'm not dreading it. I want this class to be over. Right now I'm actually working on an essay that is coming along very slowly... It's due in an hour on WebCT.
11. Although my AC is broken in my car-- my tire/oil/belt has been changed!
12. Never go to Mattress One. They said about a week ago they would ship my mattress on saturday from 4-7. They didn't come. I called them the next day. Said they would come monday from 5-6. They came(3 and a half hours late).... AND BROUGHT ME THE WRONG MATTRESS. Needless to say my mom did some research on them and found out what a terrible company they were. Apparently the owner is a child molester and many of the other managers/owners have numerous felony charges against them. We promptly canceled the order and got out money back. So the up part: We went to Original Mattress Factory on wednesday and I got the mattress today. It was that simple.
13. No paintball tomorrow. I've been waking up at 6 am almost everyday this week because I've been so busy with waiting for mattresses/dropping ibooks off/getting cars fixed/waiting for brighthouse people to install cable. I need snooze.
14. Crazy party at Mike's place on Tuesday. Two really hot quiet girls were there... they got louder once they started drinking. I left before the blonde one started puking everywhere. Man... she was gone. :rollseyes:

this song is a mess, but so am I

2005-06-28T22:50:45Z

I dropped my physical science class 10 minutes after the first session. I have no real desire to be in school right now... or maybe it's no real desire to take more General Education classes. I mean my film classes start in the fall... I just wanna fast forward to those.

I'm thinking about dropping my American History class, but I think I may just do it anyway. The problem is, if I have no desire to be in the class then I'm going to do poorly in the class as well. So dropping it may seem like the thing to do. I'll give it a day.

and all the things that went wrong

2005-06-14T21:21:38Z

So many things seem so completely normal now that I've been living in a college area. Things like, having a hose dragged through your apartment, during a party, to hook up to the Slip n' Slide outside so that all the drunk UCF'ers can holla and say "Yeah!"

It's completely normal. When the cops come to stop all the drunk jocks from fighting (on top of your roommate's car) and everyone runs into your apartment; it's a typical event.

(of course when everyone runs into my apartment I just say "fuck, well this is interesting" and jump in my bed to try to get to sleep / then my car's alarm goes off / "fuck" / more scratches on my car / more dents from fights / I was drunk / but not that drunk)

I wake up to find beer still in the freezer. Bubbling over. Great. You should be able to smell it from where you are now.

Asides from this I've been playing a lot of World of Warcraft and the Battlefield 2 demo (which is great fun if you can run it).

I've got a few things I'm trying to figure out in my head right now. Deconstructing problems: trying to figure out what just went wrong and what I can do about it. Nothing important or dramatic.

I'm working on a new script. It'll be for a short film (15 mins max). Low budget. No problem except the setting (a city). I only have one line written.

So much more has happened in the past couple weeks (chrisapoolza), but I'm just not gonna mention them here because... I won't.

Welcome to summer.

I gotta stop partying like this... I think I've got a cavity

2005-05-20T18:25:10Z

I love when my mom is out of town. It never ceases to amaze me how much fun I can have with her house and some friends. Monday I threw a bit of a party. Alot of people came. It was damn fun. We gotta do that again soon. To bad my mom gets back saturday :sadface:.

Last night was way more interesting though. I went to Independent Bar with this girl Erica from my speech class and her friends Matt and Lisa. We're all underage except for Matt, who was buying alcohol. So Lisa and Erica both want him to buy them stuff at iBar to drink. We're sitting out on in their outside lounge area and then Matt walks away to get them some drinks. He left an empty can of his stuff their and Lisa picks it up to put her gum in. This is where the fun starts: a bouncer walks up to us and tells us that she can't do that(we all have X's on our hands to show we're underage and can't drink). This guy is pretty nice so he doesn't kick us out or anything. Of course, Matt comes back with some drinks while the bouncer is still there... how obvious is this? The bouncer leaves and we sit discussing out little situation... Erica figures if we go upstairs where it's harder to see she can probably drink her smirnoff.

Let me tell you... it doesn't work. We go upstairs sit down... she takes a quick sip when we make sure no one is looking and then another bouncer comes from nowhere asking for her ID. She says she doesn't have it and then tells her to follow him. He leads us outside where a cop stands. I thought this was gonna get pretty bad. Luckily, the bouncer just tells us to leave. So that's the story. Technically, I didn't get kicked out... but what would have been the point of staying?

After this we just decided to go back to my mom's house. We drank there and had some fun... I went to bed at like 3 am and here I am now. I actually got cut from work but I have to go back at 3:15... bleh. I just wanna go back to sleep............. dotdotdotdotdot.

Saturday, I'm suppose to do something with Erica again... this time I think we'll skip getting kicked out of iBar and try something different.

It's amazing what kind of terrible converstations you hear you're roommates having when you happen to live right next to the common room...

So without further ado, here are some great converstation starters:
(Totally different topics though)

Rachel to friend #1: Do you ever think that YOU were an accident?

Rachel to friend #1: THAT JUST PROVES HOW IMMATURE YOU ARE!

Friend #2 to Rachel: I bet he's big...

Friend #1 to Rachel: SHUT UP YOU STUPID WHORE!

Rachel to friend #1: You have terrible converstation skills...... no offense!

Rachel to friend #1: SERIOUSLY GET THE FUCK OUT!!! (friend #1 didn't leave for another 30 minutes after she pissed Rachel off)

What great friends! I <3 my roommate (only concerning Rachel). Yes, hang out in front of my door longer. Thank you!

I've been putting off exam studyage for tomorrows composition 2 exam. Guess I'll get started on that... it's not really studying, more homework. We can use everything we write down and it's pretty simple... so whatever.

between you and me.... they never cared for us anyway(omg how college of me)

2005-04-10T05:23:12Z

I'm completely drunk right now, but I figured I could probably write an entry anyway...

The past two days I've felt like I've been in some sort of Frat... very collegeish of me.

Yesterday me and my some of my friends(chris/mike/steve/liz(LOL!)/tasha(my manager at work)) ended up going to a hot tub at Heather Glenn Apartments at 4 in the morning in our boxers(thongs and bras for the girls)... they made a bet that if any of us took off our boxers they would get naked... naturally mike took off his pants(took one for the team, but i'm scarred for life) and they took off: everything(OMG). So that was interesting. A few minutes later a cop(A SHEIRIFF ACTUALLY) came to kick us out. I thought we were going to get arrested. He told us next time to try being quieter. Nice guy. He totally could have shot us. Maybe not. I'm so paranoid.

Oh man... I never do anything like this. But it's always refreshing to know you've seen your manager at work naked.

Anyway... did I mention we were drunk? Probably not.

We drove home(intoxicated... but sobering up) and tasha sat in liz's lap. Of course then, a cop pulled up next us and turn on it's sirens(did I mention at this point they were putting their shirts back on while we were driving???). We all completely freaked out, thinking he was going to pull us over. ALTHOUGH IT'S ALL GOOD! Apparently he just turned them on to run a red light and go in to Arden Villas(the place where I actually probably will live next year... great to know there is crime.)

Note: Budweiser SELECT is not really that good. Just stick to... anything else. Don't bother. Really.

I'm done with the drunkenness ranting. Today hasn't been the best day, hence my state of mind.

I'm done have a great evening. I normally don't do any of this, which is why I feel so collegeish. Did I miss "SPRING BREAK!!!!"? Answer: yes.

OUT and I apologize for all the gramatical errors.

My wireless network is working. Steal my interweb while you can!

Just got back from work... had a cop trailing me until I got to Wendy's. I thought he was going to pull me over, which would have been terrible(my liscence is going to be suspended on April 18th... well... it technically SHOULD BE, but I'll make sure that it doesn't happen). Anyway... he kept following me... freaking me out. Of course he pulls into the Wendy's drive-in in front of me. I figured he was buying some stuff for himself and not the people he had in the back(which I assumed: arrested).

Naturally I'm dead wrong about everything. He wasn't following me. He was buying food for two young homeless girls and their babies who hadn't eaten all day. I usually hate cops. This made me feel a little bit better.... I guess they're not all terrible.

But, my point is: we have it easy. Everyone who is reading this has to have it easier than two girls who have no where to live and have no food.

We've got it easy.

I wish I could write it more elequently, but it's late and I'm tired: Remember to smile you fuckers.

we was just boys, living in a dead-ass german shepard

2005-04-02T22:15:32Z

Okay so go see Sin City. It's beautiful.

Better yet... see it at Aloma Cinema Grill and tip me well.

Now back to researching for my Core 3 for Composition 2.

OMG SPRING BREAK!!!!

2005-03-15T22:27:32Z

I'm not sure if I like where this SPRING BREAK!!!! is heading.
(Note: When spelling "Spring Break" you must automatically put it in ALL CAPS, as if you were a frat boy getting laid in Cancun. Spring Break automatically translates into "SPRING BREAK!!!!". You must only use 4 exclamation points. Any more will result in a fine of $20.)

Negatives:
1) I lost the nice wifi connection in my room. The people I was getting it off of must've realized that people were connecting to it. So it's time for me to spend the $50 bucks to buy a wireless router for my room.
2) The weather has been uber-shiety! It was perfect this weekend... yeah....... when I was working!
3) Number 3 is that there is no number 3.
4) Everyone went home... it's lonely here. I've never found myself actually wanting to go to work more often.
5) Headaches due to playing World of Warcraft for 5 hours at a time with Amy.
6) Next year when I say I'm going to New York for spring break... I'm actually going to go to New York for spring break.
7) I have homework. Homework that I most likely won't do.
8) The UCF gym is closed... I feel so lazy.
9) No hot dates. :(

Positives:
1) No school.
2) I found a nice apartment for next year called Heather Glenn (two n's or one? I don't know). It's not student housing which is great. It's a bit farther away and I have to buy furniture, but the place is so nice. It's got a porch... :) LKJDFKJSD OMG A PORCH!!!!
3) I'm selling my iBook to my boss at work for $800. I'm making a $50 profit! So that's pretty sweet. If I make enough money this week I'm going to buy a brand new PowerBook...... otherwise I'm going to go with the original plan of just buying a faster/nicer iBook.
4) Seriously, I am glad it's SPRING BREAK!!!!
5) Mint chocolate chip ice cream with Krisna.
6) Enough time to make my apartment hella clean. Not regular clean... hella clean.
7) Time to play guitar and write new songs. I'm a rocker. I rock out.

Don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying my SPRING BREAK!!!! more than I make it seem like I am. The second the weather stops being so crappy I'm going to the beach. If you want in... tell me.

-Eric(kison) out.

I slept with The Daughters and all I got was this lousy song written about me

2005-03-06T20:07:52Z

I seriously hate my LJ. All of these entries make me cringe when I go back a month or a couple of a weeks...

"Did I really say that...?"

I think I may just start a new LJ eventually. New pictures, new layout, new everything. I need my digital camera to start working again so I can do that. I won't do any of that "friends only" crap, so I'll just post a new link here if I actually do it.

Okay anyway... I'm sitting here trying to edit my script(the one that apparently helped me get into UCF's film school). I haven't touched in a month or so. Mainly for the fact that I don't know what to do next, but I think I've figured it out. I realize, looking back on it, many of the description sentences need some tweaking. Overall, right now, the dialogue seems to be "okay". It's first screenplay worthy I suppose.

Last night was fun... blahblahblah. I should probably do my homework.

Out.

Annnd the winner is...

2005-03-04T02:28:30Z

The unexpected has happen...

ERIC GOT INTO UCF'S FILM SCHOOL.

"There were more than 200 applicants to the program this year, but only 22 will be admitted."

I was one of the 22.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!

Now to finish my homework to insure I don't fail... so then I can actually go to the Film school.

I'm so happy even though I have another 600 words ahead of me!

Death letter

2005-03-02T03:30:13Z

Film rejection/acceptance letters are mailed out today.

I'm terrified.

Hello again

2005-02-20T15:03:37Z

Constantine sucked

Facebook totally OWNS Livejournal

2005-02-12T17:45:08Z

The Facebook is quite addicting. When you least expect you often end up typing "thefacebook.com" into your address bar without even thinking about it. It's strangely tempting and I don't know why...

Anyway, I've been sleeping alot better(courtesy of new medicine and modern science breakthroughs, such as earplugs) and feeling so much better. It's damn amazing.

I dropped 50 bucks on World of Warcraft and more than 50 on an iBook. I have so much homework this weekend, which won't be done because I'll be leveling up like a nerd instead.

That's the course of this update. I'm out.

and I thought earplugs cured cancer

2005-01-23T09:59:30Z

Sleep is hard, but I've managed to start.

I don't give a shit about wood, I'm no chemist

2004-12-30T21:58:00Z

So I finally finished my Film Portfolio today and sent it off. I was actually kinda proud of it. Although I did realize after I sent it I was suppose to use a shipping service that would give me a tracking number... apparently the shipping method I used at the UPS store may of been the wrong one for what the Film department wanted. Oh well... I don't think it'll matter. If it does at least I tried..... then failed. I just hope everything goes well. I would like to know they at least got it even though I doubt I'll get into the Film school this year.

I think I'm going to start doing alot more writing on the script I put in the portfolio. I think it'll be feature length(1hr 30mins). Seriously-- that would unbelievable cool if I could finish it.

All I've been doing lately is working on portfolio/going to work/working on portfolio/going to work. I'm working tomorrow too, and then next day. Wheeeeeeeeeeee.... at least I'll be rich.... biatch.

Off.

damn those blood suckers and their good qualities

2004-12-18T06:10:31Z

Yeah so I figured I'd update randomly. No one ever updates these LJ's anymore since Myspace.com has taken over. Either that site or thefacebook.com(which I have been on for the past hour)

Thefacebook.com is crazy... finding random people from high school. Then your like OMGLG)MOGMOM!!!!!!LOLZ!!!!

Hah... no. I really don't feel like writing what I've been up to. Mike got a livejournal though and I find that immensely hilarious.

Bonfire tomorrow at Mike's. That'll be fun like whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.................... I enjoy sounding like some sort of person that speaks to synchronized beats. Bitches.

I'm writing a script and I promise it's not as bad as my LJ. I promise. I also got my grades back-- I kept my 3.0 average at least. Let's not get into why I got a "B" in CGS2100.... let's just not bring that up. Asshole.......

I'm at my mom's right now. I like the apartment. But I don't like it all at the same time. I'm actually pretty sure I hate it-- Especially when Rachel wakes me up everyday with the GODDAMN TV AT 9:00 AM WHEN I'VE GONE TO BED AT 3:00 AM! I've actually been sleeping at my mom's house. Rachel went back home today for the break so now it's safe to go back.

I think I need a band again. I'm getting really bored and playing guitar alot... I think that's a sure sign.

Film portfolio = due DEC 31st. I'm screwed.

Bye bye.
