The real world...year 1.

This time last year I was walking across the stage and beginning the next chapter in my life...Post undergrad, welcome to the "Real World"...

I can't believe it has already been a year...and its crazy how much has changed since then...

Do I miss the days of undergrad...yes and no...the social scene was cool and I had a lot of fun...but I hated the homework, test, papers, long nights in McNair studying...basically everything I did in school that was graded on a scale of 100.

times flies...

Why is it 60 degrees out and raining and not 30 degrees out and snowing...its December.

"The Greatest"

One of my favorite movies, Ali, by one of my favorite directors, Michael Mann.

I always find inspiration when I watch this movie. Don't worry it doesn't make me want to pick up a pair of boxing glove...I was thinking more along the lines of filmography.

Great movie...check it out!

Mirror's Edge

The video below is in-game footage of a game that came out last month called Mirror's Edge. A lot of hype surrounded this video game after this vid premiered at E3. The game's instills a freedom of movement not yet seen in the first-person genre. Its physics and movement is based off of a form of training called, Parkour.

Watch the vid to see what I'm talking about.

I tried to do something like this when I was 14 yrs old. I jumped off my friends balcony and I thought I was cool until I tried to stand up. Foot broken into pieces!!! Thats when my dumba$$ thought I was invincible...never again!

Electric Life

I need a vacation...Tokyo and its bright lights sounds nice...
