It's been a while since I've updated...

Life is grand. I'm 23, single, and doing just fine. I have a cool car, a great apartment near the ocean, great friends and a wii...what else could a studly asian boy like myself want?

So I got a freelance video gig working with a football team...you may have heard of them. It was a two day shoot...Saturday was in Brookline, MA...Sunday was at Gillette Stadium for the Steelers vs. Pats. My job was to do whatever I was told; the traditional PA Job. It was a great experience and I met some awesome people.




I'm the dude in the yellow hat.

I'm in the yellow hat...cuz i'm asian don't you know. anyways, attached to the jib is a 35mm film camera...pretty sweet to work with an official film crew.

Enough about that...

In case you don't know, I work at a TV studio in a retirement home that houses 1600 residents. All of the residents have our channel in their homes. The coolest thing about our studio is that we are entirely resident driven. What that means, is that we have residents camera operate, produce, host, stage manage, tape operate, mix audio, and even edit...I'm 1 of 3 staff members that runs the studio and teaches the elderly how to do all of this sorta stuff...really, I have a kick ass job.

I want to do more youtubing. I need to buy a new firewire cable, since I let my roommate in Brighton borrow mine...and then she apparently packed it up and left...At times, I'm too nice...Goodbye to that $30 cable!

It's odd. Sometimes I feel really down. I don't know why though. It's possibly due to the fact that I never get to see the friends that I want to. Or that I have to drive all over the state to see them. Really, I'm living my prime. I'm 23, with a consistent cash flow coming in...I should be going on a date with a different girl every night...but I'm not.

I went grocery shopping today and thought about how difficult it is to meet new people. I have the confidence to know that if I could just make pleasant conversation, that I could make them smile and laugh...and walk away and both live great lives. Breaking the ice is always tough. I mean, you can't really just approach someone and be like "oh so how about those canned beans?"

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to tell a hot girl "I'm fucking crazy about you. Let's throw all caution to the wind and just do something about it."
