The old is gone. The new is here.

The last three weeks have been a complete turn around.

Enough with the depressing shit Warren Michigan serves me up every summer. I have finally returned to East Lansing, and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

Metaphorically speaking, Warren is to death as MSU is to life.

I have never been in such a slouch of depression as I have been this past summer, and I could figure out why, and being up at school has easily made me realize everything. I just simply hate Warren. I hate being in it and it is the death of anything interesting to me.

My life is really up here now at school, especailly after spending two years up here, and now a third, I feel like this is my home. I love the people up here and I love my freedom up here. I love having a jam packed schedule. I love being able to call people at midnight, and go to hang out. I love constantly getting phone calls and constantly being on the go and filling up my schedule with dozens of people to hang out with ever week. I get that all up here.

I feel like this freshness is just what I needed right now. I've already been away from directing for three weeks now, after wraping production on my previous film, and I can already feel the itch to get back to doing it, which leads me to my current excitement for my new piece.

The city and campus are also beautiful and I feel like these are all good things for my creativity to thrive on.

But, as far as things up here are going, everything is great.

I love living with Alayna. We have a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing her when I open the door to come home, and it's good to have that feeling. The apartment is really beautiful and has surpassed even my wildest expectations for what it would look like. It really is classy.

School isn't bad. It's the same, so I don't really have to go there.

Today I came home and Alayna and I decided to retaliate against our neighboors downstairs who play bad rap music at all hours of the day and night. We basically blasted Hung Up from our TV with the 1000 watts speaker system, and Alaynas labtop with her speakers and subwoofer, and my computer with my speakers and subwoofer. The apartment was shaking. And then we danced. It was sweet.

I had a thrilling time at Lisa Gibes' barbaque earlier this week. Another thing I love up here is that there is so much to do. I feel like every day I get a call inviting me to a new barbaque, or party, or anything. I have infinately more friends up here than I do back home, so I really am never bored.

Supposedly I am tailgating this Saturday morning at 7a.m. My friend Matt invited me back to his house. It's a really cool place I went to last night, and all his roommates got along with me, so they invited me for this weekend. That should be fun. And I'm trying to find a party for Saturday night. We'll see.....

Oh, and I met my twin at his house. His roommate Grant is like another version of me. We both were wearing almost the exact kind of outfit, both with glasses, both worked at Beaner's, and we had some other stuff in common. It was kinda cool to meet somone really similar to me though.

I'm excited to start my new project. Last year in screenwriting I took one of my professor's short screenplays he wrote for us, and reworked it, adding stuff in, into a feature length piece. He shot his this summer, and I'm in pre production on mine right now. I'm getting my cast and locations together. He flew his cast out to Europe to shoot though, but I'm really interested to see how our two projects are going to compare. And, I'm not going to lie, I really want to try to make mine better. I'm thinking they will both probaby debut at the film festivals in March. Both films are titled Dreamgirl. We'll see what the audiences and cirtics say. It should be very interesting though.

I do believe that is all I have to say for now though. I have to do Spanish homework and I have a coffee date tonight, so scream off my LJ and read someone elses.

Adious.
