Amazon.com

I just bought some things on amazon that I'm excited about. You'll probably be jealous and want the same things if you are anything like me.
I pre-ordered Beach House's new cd "Teen Dream" it comes with a dvd that has a music video for each song on the album! I'm totally stokes! That should get here on Tuesday, January 26th.
Next I purchased a clear cover for my cell phone and a car charger (necessities) I will soon drop my cell phone and think, "wow! could call, william!" in which case I'll air high five myself which will look like me clapping my hands to anyone on the street. Or it could look like I'm killing a wasp in front of my face.
And maybe one day my sweet sweet phone will all of a sudden become empty of battery and I'll have my charger right there in my car to charge it!
The final object that I just purchased was a capo for my guitar. That way I can play those songs that are octives higher like Follow You into The Dark or Will You Return or Oh love that will not let me go. Or I Love the Rain the Most. Or any song by Joe Purdy for that matter.
I can't imagine why you would care about any of this but its important to me so. You know that feeling you get just waiting day after day for you online goodies to arrive in the mail? Its like waiting for christmas, only the date it comes is all general and not specific. You try to track it but that never helps because it could really get there on any day. And it always comes one day later than you expect it. You look on your front porch and see nothing. But when you least expect it it appears as if it had been sitting there all along.

Wonderful Painting

Mark Rothko

Here is a painting by Mark Rothko. I saw one of his paintings in the film Following by Christopher Nolan. I didn't understand what was so great about it, but in reality its freaking huge.

Short Film "The Journal"

This is a short film that i wrote, filmed, directed, and scored.

Cast: Hannah Waid as Female Ben Watson as Male

Further Analysis:
This film is about reading someone else's journal. It was filmed in black and white to give the feeling of reading a page of a written journal. Black pen on white paper. The non linear flow and segmented sections are meant to be abrupt yet descriptive. This is to also signify a journal. If you had found someone else's journal, it wouldn't be explained, and it might sound a little creepy. The orange falling of the table is a metaphor for the following action. The male following the female is meant to represent a love. I descriptive love from a distance. As if the female were being followed as shown in the film. This was completely an art piece that was written from a journal I had been keeping. Please enjoy.

Film by the band Noah and The Whale.

Good quotes:
"...at fifteen you had the radiance of early morning, at twenty you will begin to have the melancholy brilliance of the moon, and when you are my age you will give out, as i do, the genial golden warmth of 4 p.m."

"Sacrifice by its very nature was arrogant and impersonal; sacrifice should be eternally supercilious."

"All life was transmitted into terms of their love, all experience, all desire, all ambitions, were nullified-- their senses of humor crawled into corners to sleep; their former love-affairs seemed faintly laughable and scarcely regretted juvenalia"

Diego Velazquez
