Oliver & Company

good afternoon?

this is the latest blog post ive had in a while. i dont think i will be blogging anymore at school because after all the bullshitting my old teacher did, he finally got the cut. So now the 3d animation class and my after effects class have converged into one ultimate class. The teacher is this dope ass asian dude who learned all his skillz at NYU. I came in late today only to see that my seat was jacked and we had a new teacher. I learned as much today as we usually would in 5 days with that old teacher we had. so now i have a good reason to go to class on time, not sleep in class, and not walk out of class to get a drink at AMPM, and that reason is… education.

gonna keep this one short and sweet. lots to do on the agenda list.

Another start of a new week.

for some reason, to me it seems like the week goes by super quick. Sooner or later it will be hump day, then after a quick blink its friday.

As for this past weekend, you can only tell if i am drunk only if… i am knocked out when we go to alvaroes and i wake up not even knowing we even made the trip to alvaroes. well that happened. I highly recommend to get your party started with 2 ULTIMATE LONG ISLANDS at TGI’s. Ask Ojay. Oh by the way, thanks Ojay for throwing down the bill. We chilled at TGI’s, right across from HEAT at like 845pm. That laid the way for the rest of the night for me and the buddies who came out a tad bit earlier.

We watched “… Chuck n Larry ” on saturday. A good chill night after a drunk night is highly needed. Its a good movie. Not the best. But as long as it keeps me laughing, its all good. I love Happy Madison Productions.

Sunday night i went to the gym. thats it. i went for my workout at 1230am and it was empty. I stayed up the night until 6am only to get 1 hour of sleep. I woke up for school not tired for some reason. I think im just used to it. driving to school with no music, the window down, & driving the speed limit can be very calming. O, and the best time for your parents to drive your car is when your on empty, cuz they will fill that shit up to the top! Thats an easy $55 gas coupon.

As for class today, i finally learned something. Im getting this After Effects program pretty good. I think i can learn more than my teacher teaches us. Im so far ahead of the class that ive been watching video tutorials for the past 30min and i already learned how to add blood splatter effects and some other cool special FX.

Our school has break at 10am but since theres no time to drive around, everyone just walks across the street to AMPM. I leave at 950 to beat the rush and grab a little bite to eat. AMPM has some bomb as food. Its just like microwavable foods but you gotta grab that shit when its fresh. They make it fresh by the time every break comes along cuz they always run out of food from all the students at my school grabbing a bite to eat.

My ranking of AMPM food:

1. BBQ Rib Sandwich
2. Double stuffed cheese crust pizza
3. Beed taquitos (seasonal)
4. Breakfast Burrito

When im in the mood for chips, they have 99 cent bags of…

1. Tims Jalepeno chips
2. BBQ Maui chips
3. Maui Sweet Onion

PURPLE HAZE 1 & 2 both have playoff games today at 8:25 at AIU. So we hope you all can make it tonight. Super Kronics have their game on wednesday so keep that night open.

And just for a reminder of how much fun we had in vegas… Magic trade show is at the end of august, so if anyone is down, holla! …

FYI, and i GUARANTEE i dont look like this anymore.

Enjoy your start of the week…

The title is dedicated to Jennys last blog entry years ago which is still there.

its another friday, another week, another blink of my life. i dont really have much to blog about to today… a few things i can mention is that my fucking car radio is jacked. it plays static no mater what is playing, cd’s, ipod, or even my satellite. it has no pattern, it seems like it just wants to turn on whenever it wants. ive been so pissed off that i pretty much broke the face of my receiver. it feels weird driving in a silent car.

im done. over this post. have a great weekend.

gud morning everyone.

i hope you got over the hump of the week alright. i spent my day at the beach. i havent been to the beach prolly in 2 years. well actually, i went once last august to film my “september” youtube video, but that doesnt quite count.

it was nice to forget about everything and just relax with your feet in the sand. only if seaweed was good to eat straight out of the ocean, the ocean would look a lot cleaner.

tuesday i worked at the mira mesa shop. i happily to say i am way over L&L, well… unless they hook it with the BBQ beef. the new spot is sushi hut.

our friend jeff and his girlfriend came by the shop with Rocky their pet pitbull. he’s one of the best and nicest dog ive met. ive seen this dog when he was just a pup and he is now huge! he will only get bigger.

i wish i had a dog again. especially one like rocky. i need a companion and best friend. he was only $150. maybe i should be looking…

oh what a lovely sleep.

it feels so much better to sleep after winning a basketball game and consuming alcohol to go along with it.

yes we did it. we won our last final regular season game. who knows, we might have a good chances getting into the NIT tournament. since my first game playing on purple haze i can say i feel more comfortable being on the court. the basketball court is my football field. i scored 4 more points than last season but my stats say i only scored 1 more point. i love my team. please dont cut me next season.

After the game, i had to film this project with my classmates. we need to redo a scene from a movie. we chose the movie blue velvet. its a strange pick out of all the movies clips we could do but aw well. the scene was all inside a car and it was easy to get by. i think im going to re-edit fatcho libre and show the class tomorrow. it is perfect for this project

as for school, tomorrow is my last day in class tomorrow. heres my remaining school schedule…

7/19/07 – 8/22/07 Effect & Comp MTWThF 8:00AM
8/23/07 – 09/27/07 Genre Production MTWThF 8:00AM

i cant wait for the effect class. we learn adobe after effects which is the main thing ive wanted to learn here at platt. they may have used this program in transformers. you can do special effects like gun shots, smoke, green screen, and other dope shit. all i can say is be ready for the ultimate wildboyz film. and that last class is a screenwriting class. ive heard a lot of bad things about that class, and some classmates have put in their input to the dean.

since this is a small school, you can easily talk to the dean. shes really cool. i guess thats the worst thing a teacher here can worry about, some kid ratting them out.

*an off note topic: The Workshop/ Willy website
with the new workshop site layout and all the marketing with the “Film This” premiere, we doubled the daily unique (new visitor) hits. when we first launched the site we’d get 200-300 new hits a day. then it bumped it to 400 the past month. but yesterday, the 16th, we got a total of 1050 unique hits. incredible.

not only that, but i got some insider info that notes us at 56 out of all, OF ALL, skateboarding websites and we were noted with a rising arrow. we beat some big time skate companies.

the best good night remedy are 2 ULTIMATE LONG ISLANDS from TGIF’s during happy hour. sleeping on a good buzz is the best thing you can do. if not 2 long islands, then 2 large sakes.

have a terrific tuesday.
