Mulva The Vulva

Here's a video I did for my friend Ian Mulvaney at Connxtions. I'm going back there tonight so I can get shot from another angle and add them to this video. Also I was playing around with the title tool... I think I am going to change it in the next video.

video soon

Hey, long time no see...

I've been really busy trying to get a video editor to work and be able to export my video as HD. There's no point doing the video in low quality because I wanted this camera so I could shoot in HD. So I am working on my friends video for his comedy show. It's looking alright, I just wish I could have gotten the show from different angles. If he likes this video then I am going to ask him if I can come back and shoot him again. So I could add on to what I have and make it look better. I just hope my computer doesn't crash exporting this video. It kept getting blue screen when we did this, then we realized my new mother board was over clocked. We fixed it and tried it again, but the computer crashed... I am trying the second time, so hopefully it works. I'll post it when I'm done.



Half way through this semester! Can't wait to be done! Hopefully I can find a job in my field sometime soon, I really want to get out of Jimmy John's and fast!

By the way... how often am I suppose to update my blog? Everyday? Once a week? Or just whenever...

Recycle Jar Plant Hangers

So came across a couple extra jars a while ago and I didn't want to throw them out. I felt like I could still use them. I then came across this idea on the internet, to make plant hangers out of them. So I did! I couldn't find the original place I found it, but I did find this blog: http://releasemecreate.blogspot.com/2011/05/diy-hanging-mason-jar-planter-with-air.html

I super glued the twine to the jar's just to be on the safe side. :D

Good News Everyone!

I will be updating my computer over this weekend! Which means I will be able to finally edit my clips and post them online! Also I can edit my old projects to make them look better, which will be awesome. I am SO excited! The first thing I am going to do is start working on those projects. :D The memory has been shipped and I will be getting the rest of the stuff on Friday! Hopefully I will get my loan in time. =X

Yes, I am spending my loan on these upgrades... but its something I need, so I can get myself to the next step.

I only have nine more weeks of school left. That's it.  I can't believe how fast this semester is going. However, I am beginning to think that I work too much at JJ's. I need to work harder on my projects and not get lazy after work. I won't get stuck in the same cycle everyday. I'm not going to see what I worked so hard for, go down the drain. I will have my associates for Motion Picture Directing and I won't waste my life away to be nothing.
I can't wait till I have that diploma in my hand in July.... It's funny how a piece of paper can mean so much to a person.

I ran Super Bowl 5K last Sunday. Didn't beat my personal best, but I didn't gain any real time either... just a couple seconds around my last time at the Dino Dash. :) I was pretty happy since I haven't been running that much lately. I am going running tonight though! l

Also I am going to post pictures in a little bit this craft idea I found! It super cute and good for the planet!! I think you guys will like it. XD

This last week

Wow, this week went by SO fast! I was really busy working on my portfolio when I got a chance. I had so much to work on with it and I still do. However, this is my only class and my last semester, so I'll be fine. :D

I actually started to write my script for my webisode. I am now done with brainstorming and getting background of the characters. I figure I could just write it and figure out how the characters to be as the story is unfolding. After I am done writing it I am going to go to LCC and talked to some theater kids I know and see if they are interested in being in it. Hopefully the story of my script will sound interesting with them and some will want to join. Sure it would be fun if my friends were in it... it's just I need decent actors in this.

Adobe is till not working! So I am going to try to new program called Cyberlink Power Director. I did some research and I think this one sounded pretty good, so I thought, why not. I'll let you guys know how it goes. That way I will have some new work to show you guys! XD

Yesterday, Tuesday, I delivered for work for the first time in months. I miss it, a lot. I made like 30 bucks which was awesome. However I did get a parking ticket on my 1rd delivery!  I thought I was only going to be five minutes, but the women took longer to get down stairs and meet me then I thought. I knew I should have put a dime in. BUT no... I had to play mister cool guy and not put money in. :( The parking women was on the next car when I came out too. I was so upset, 5 bucks out of my tip money. I mean come on, you guys know I work for JJ's I'm going to be freaky fast. Grr Oh well... what are you going to do....

Thats all for now... I have a lot of work to do... btw does anyone know where I could find a decent but cheap domain name? Thanks!

getting my dipolma in July and screw the homeless

Last night I got an e-mail from Lansing Community College stating: "Congratulations!  Your Application for an Associate Degree has been approved for Spring semester.  You may view your degree status by accessing your academic transcript online via LCC’s Banner Student System.  Your diploma will be mailed in July.  Name and address changes must be completed prior to the end of Spring semester.". 


I could not be any happier right now! I am so happy to be almost done! I just have to pass my portfolio class and I will be done. Which is an easy class, I just have to show up and do my work. Basically all I have to do is work on my portfolio, online portfolio, mock interview, and get ready for the real world. @_@ I don't think I will have any problems, I got this in a bag.

Still haven't figured out what is going on with adobe... but then again I haven't had time to work on it. Been working a lot of hours at JJ's and my homework for my portfolio class. I'll mess with it this weekend...

I went to kick boxing last night with my room mate Lizzy. I am so sore today. My back is killing me! I'm thinking about going to a chiropractor to get it looked at, because I feel like my back is really messed up. I can't lay flat on the ground. My lower back just curves up, I can fight both my arms under my back. =/ I should look up some stretches or something for it. I need to fix this soon, or its going to cause me lots of problems in the future. 

So today I deiced to walk home instead of taking the bus from work. It wasn't too cold and it sounded fun. Plus its only like a 25-30 min walk, so it's not that bad. I was walking by the Nuthouse when I saw this women asking for changed from a man. I thought to myself, 'Shit, I better book it or she's going to ask me'. So I started to walk faster and sure enough I heard behind me, "Mam, excuse me". I ignored her and kept walking. Then I heard it again, 'God dang it' I thought to myself as I turned around. She then introduced herself and told me she was homeless cause her boyfriend left her for another women, blah, blah, blah. I never saw her before so I believed her and gave her my day old I just bought at JJ's (this was going to be my lunch). I also gave her 60 cents, that was my bus fare, just cause it was in my hand. She then had the nerve to ask me about the bread, "Does this have meat on it?". I was so upset... I mean really, really?! I just gave you my meal for the day and now your asking for more... wtf?! Then I told her, "Hey, it's better then nothing and that's more then what I have at home" and walked away. That is the last time I do something nice for a homeless person...


Thats all I can think about to say right now... 
Hopefully I will have a new video up this weekend. I did post an old/new video on youtube. Just another trailer spoof about zombies, you should check it out! 

Well I have to get ready for work. I work 10pm to close (3am)
peace out

Being a grown up.. sucks!

I can't stand adobe premiere right now!! I've been trying to figure it out the last couple of days and its so annoying! For some reason all my video clips in the source window move very slowly. I don't know how many times I've changed the settings. Ahh! I just want it to work so I can make more videos and post them on here. I made this blog to push my career, but it's not helping when the software I'm working with, wont' work. I was going to try to work on it when I got home from work tonight but I was a half an hour longer at work then I thought it would be.  We were so busy tonight and we didn't get out until 11pm. It sucked. So I'm just going to relax...

The last couple of days I've been trying to be more productive at home. I feel like all I do is sit on my computer and surf the web, and that gets boring pretty fast. =X So I worked on my memory wall for a little bit last night. Then messed with adobe for hours!!! Still haven't gotten anywhere. I volunteered for the Great Lakes Broadcasting Conference happening here in Lansing. I get to be a Broadcast Excellence Award Program Assistant. This job involves setting up for the BEA awards program, assisting attendees to available seats, and then assisting in the distribution of the awards during the program. I'm pretty excited for that. :D I also worked on my resume today. Adding new things to it and making it look a little more fancy. It's part of my homework for my portfolio class. Yay! Go Rudi!

I can't wait to be done with school, but I am also really scared because I don't know if I'll find a job. Hopefully I will so I can pay back my loan.  Thank god I only took out one. However my main focus are my stories that I want to share with you guys.... But I do need something to pay my bills... =/ Being a grown up.. sucks!
