the great commercial debate

This commercial really bothers me

Ego?

However, this is one of my favorites :

Lonely

The VW one is just sad and sort of mean and depressing. I also find it sort of haunting.

The Sprint is amazing. So adorable.

I can't find my favorite commercial though. The Sprint one with the little white boy that belts out "Seven PPMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

Brings a smile to my heart

My life, the music video

So I'm walking home last night at like 4am, turn on my mp3 player and the recently added "We can be Heroes" by the Wallflowers comes on (thanks for Alex for getting it to me).

And it just flowed, beat wise, while I was walking down the empty sea port.

"I...I wish you could swim" - look out on to the river
"I...I will be King" - A construction worked turned and looked up at me with an American flag helmet
"Nothing will drive them away" - cockroach skitters about the ground

Then at the big finale, I overlook a great skyline of the city. It was very fun. And weird.

So, to pat myself on the back --
The semester ended, and I have completed :
- A feature screenplay "The Contingency 4"
- A spec for My Name is Earl "Earl the Artist"
- A 1 act play "The Gaucherie"
- 5 short films, ranging from crap to crappier to decent. "Little Chinatown", "Buzz the Bug", "Poker", "The Artiste", and "Roulette"
- 2 One Acts, "Frozen", "All In"
- Rewritten feature "In"

Busy bee. For the summer - shoot "Contingency 4", make sure "In" goes well, finish writing "HFStival" OR write "Untitled Asher Novek project", possibly shoot another short in August with good man Jesse Garrison possibly written by Dan Moyer.
This could all change if I go to Africa, which isn't possible...unless you're reading this Nick Kristof. In which case, hi.
