Half a Day Off School

Like-a-What?

We get half a day off school because OTHER people are doing work that we don't have to do?

Well, that's excellent!

What am I gonna do tomorrow? I think I'll run or read or relax or do something on the guitar or som-

Wait.

I gots to do homework.
Damn.

Why, homework, do you always have to ruin everything that's good?

A Brain-a-louge

What's this lying on the side of the road?

Disjointed, disquieted, writhing, screeching, pained.

And there go all the cars. Whizzing by an hour, half an hour, a minute too fast for the rest of the lives on this world.

Where goes the disquiet? Where goes the lost? Each hour upon the bulwarks on the earth, risen, rising, drifted upon the broken shattered waters of this discomfort. My words are lost in the blazes, in the miraculous, in the quiet dells and dips of an average humdrum living style, where I sit and ponder upon my decisions whether real or imagined.

Lost are those who don't see the beauty in the flight, who don't see the running as well as the escape and the follow through and the relentless racing, racing past the obstacles and through the illusions and above the adversaries, the adversaries, oh the adversaries great, settling upon the fact that life lives upon each leaf, each quiet, broken item on the side of the road.

VEDA

Hey y'm rascals!

I'm really enjoying VEDA this year, even if my videos aren't getting all the recognition that I hoped they would have gotten. But still, it's nice to hone in on your vlogging skills, even if I only do it for 1:08 at a time.

In other words, watch my videos and be pleasantly surprised.

Film Fest & ODS

Well. That went well.

Despite all of my misgivings, the Film Fest tonight went remarkably well.
And people liked my movie, despite its flaws. Huzzah!

Quotes:
"Jake's cool. But his movie was deep."
"Did you use an echo for your voice?"
"Jake, if they do a movie about my life, can you narrate it?"
"It reminded me of Trees in the Wind."
"I didn't understand it."

High praise. Especially from the Seniors.

And ODS is tomorrow! Which means I have to pack RIGHT NOW!
