Does that mean that the storm can see you perfectly? Or are you extremely blurry. Well, that is unimportant. Rather, it's irrelephant.
So, I really enjoy having poetic/dramatic titles for my blogs. I like to feel like I'm writing something that has a much deeper meaning than just what I write (or type, but no need to be technical).
Anyway, right now I'm in Florida. This was a bad time to be in this part of Florida. This is Spring Break. There are a bunch of stupid, drunken college students. Of course, that really hasn't prohibited us from doing anything. We're doing the same things we would if they weren't here. Really, the only thing that we aren't doing is spending less time on the beach. Not a big deal, though.
I love figuring out little things through other events. Like, this week, I discovered the difference between Christians and secular people. It's pretty obvious anyhow, but it's the little things I discovered. I've compared the difference of how Christians have fun, and non-believers. Also, humor between the groups. I've mostly figured this out watching studio updates from bands on YouTube. Secular bands swear a lot, and sound very angry. Christians, on the other hand, have a clean mouth, and are like children. Really, they are. For fun, we like to ride Go-Karts, mini-golf, frolf, go swimming. Secular people (in general) go clubbing, tick people off, and drink. I'm not trying judgmental or anything, as much as it may appear. I have a problem with sounding too harsh.
New point!
No longer is it just a possibility of us moving, it's reality. We are moving to a small town about 10 minutes outside of Fayetteville, (North Carolina), called Stedman. Now, I will be spending a very small amount of time there. I will be sixteen next February, therefore receiving my driver's license. I will be attending The Academy of Arts at 71st high School. i am very exited to be going here because they offer two fantasy classes. The offer a Film class, and an Acting & Directing.
I'm going to stop while I'm ahead, because now I'm just rambling. I'll blog later, when my head is straight.

This Was Going to be a Tweet
Originally, I was going to tweet this. I decided there was too much to say, even with twitlonger. I felt it was blog worthy. Let's go.
Last night, at youth group, the question was presented, "If you asked God what he wanted you to do today, what would he tell you?" Eventually, we came to the conclusion, that it didn't matter. Whatever he tells you to do, you follow. I didn't expect that he would have me do something the next morning. This morning, I woke up at 6:30. I was curious, that is to say, I didn't understand why. I showered and remembered that there was bible study this morning. I had never gone to this bible study. Today, I felt like he was telling me to just go. Needless to say, I went.
There is another thing I believe he has told me done, in which I have not completed yet. That would be to talk to our principal, and talk to him about A Day Without Shoes.
If you don't know what that is, it's a "thing" started by TOM's shoes. You go a whole day without shoes, to raise awareness of all the kids, all the people in the world who go everyday without shoes.
If you don't know what TOM's is, it's a shoe brand. When you buy a pair of shoes, they give a pair of shoes to a kid in need. I, personally don't wear them. I don't like how they look, or how they fit. However, my brother has had about 7 pairs over the past year or two.
That's all I had to say. Where do you feel you are being led?

Digging Up the Past. Showing it to All.
Yesterday (March 6), I went through my dad's computer. Why, you ask? I was looking through all my old videos that I had made on his computer. It was great fun looking at videos I had made 1 - 2 years ago. Amongst all other things, I found a music video that I had filmed and never completed editing. Of course, I had about 1:30 of the 3:30 - 4 minute song. It was a pretty awesome piece of my film history. One of my better pieces. Even better than much of the stuff I have done more recently. It inspired me to make more music videos (and use my dad's computer for editing, but that's beside the point).
For youth group, we have a thing called "Canned Ham." It's essentially the Sundance for our Youth Group. If you don't know what Sundance is, Google it. This year, they decided to change it up. Instead of doing actual films this year (because of not-so-great films in the past), we are doing music videos. One of the leaders decided he wanted to do a video for "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top with a couple guys and I. That'll be fun. He has a vision in his mind of what he wants. Originally, I had no plan for doing one myself. Now, I am doing two! Two friends and I are filming two music videos. The first one is "Dog Like Vultures," a beautiful(ly brutal) song by Haste the Day. The second one is yet to be decided. It may be "And Shot Each Other" by The Chariot, or a song by Advent.
The first music video I had filmed was for "Dez Moines" by The Devil Wears Prada. There was no story to it, my friend just filmed my "lip-syncing" to the song (I didn't know most of the words). This time around, I plan to have a story going along with the lip-syncing ordeal (for "Dog Like Vultures," anyway).
The whole song is about protection. Basically, how Christians protect the secular world, and how (ultimately) God protects the entire Earth. I plan to do some shots with a dog, and a wanderer. Of course, that's all I have so far. My ideas aren't too in-depth for a while. Most of them come one at a time while shooting.
While we're on the topic of film, I'll tell you another film I have in the works. I'm writing a film (which is yet to be titled) about a man who has multiple-personality disorder. One personality is a detective, and the other, a cereal killer. Yes, you read that right. "Cereal" killer. It's a comedy. One of my first, actually. At the current time, he only has two personalities. However, I do plan on working in a third or fourth.
So, there was really no point to this blog, I just really like to talk about film stuff. I just really enjoy talking about things I like to do, even if no one is "reading."
