Summer Darkness

The preacher speaks his sermon
the end is near he's certain
A cheating wife, she was not wise
she cannot look herself in the eyes
Another drunken kiss, politics
I don't see an end
The sun sets slow, now she must go
where she feels comfort

He says "throw your money in the river;
give your possessions to the poor
This world will be in flames
before the end of the day
And there's no salvaging,
no salvaging it."

Nature Videos

I would just like to announce that I have begun filming my nature videos as of Friday, June 17th, and am currently evaluating possible pseudonyms for my video collages. I am open to suggestions.

Tears Without a Title

The way this girl perceives me,
the look in her eye when she sees me
I trust she won't deceive me
God knows I'll be sad if she leaves me

A thousand miles from her
is less than she deserves
If leaving is loving and loving is leaving
then loving is letting her go
This I know, but it's so hard to be alone.

About Me

Water PSA

Completing this PSA gave me another opportunity to explore and get a better grasp on the technicalities of Final Cut Express. Though there were many ways I could have captured the footage better, or improved the audio, or any number of other things, I believe I worked well with my knowledge and learned some valuable things along the way (e.g. how to disguise mediocre lighting using numerous filters). It also helped me realize just how important each member of a film crew is, from the audio engineer(s) to the director himself. I now appreciate them more.
