I'm moving again. Hopefully in the next few days. Every time I have moved I have gotten rid of more and more stuff. But, like losing weight, the nearer you get to the prise the tougher it becomes to shed more. ewa ewa Shred more! lol textboxing.

N E WAYZ...

I am about 70 or so percent down downloading Total Training for After FX CS3 essentials. SICK!

I'm off the next two days! Sick! I'm on my way to getting promoted at work! Sick! I am moving in with a new footbagger who a lot of you met at Worlds 07 named Jay! He ordered Lavers and learned his clippers and some stalls and working on moves... SICK! heh.

My current room mate is a crazy psycho bitch LOL!

I can go ANYWHERE! It's so COOL. LIFE IS AN MMORPG OMG!

I LOVE PLAYING OUTSIDE!

SICK!

heh what else. Oh yeah there are so many ideas swirling around in my head for the movie! I really want to accomplish so much on this 10-30 minute video!!!

SLICK! jk I'm in a crazy mood.

Girls girls whereverywhere!!

Had a nice long talk with Ashley on the phone the other day! We are really building up a nice foundation for a friendship I think! I guess I wanna say I hope she finds a new boyfriend before I find a new girlfriend so that I can feel that sadness and not the otherway around. I love Ashley Danowski sooooooooooooooooo much! I would leave where I am and travel with her to wherever for a crazy life if she ever wanted to. Even though she probly won't, she really appreciates that I would! She inspires me so much with Art!! And even though the things she works SUPER hard at arent the same things that I would. Her work ethic inspires me to work so much harder at the things I believe in and that one of the highest praises I could give her! Cutie!

Dude I swear to god when I'm near her I'm so ATTRACTED TO HER omg shes so fine I feel like Ive never been intimate with her and I have that little teenager feeling of omg that girls so fiiiiiine holy crap omg!!

She knows that I mean that in the higest regard as well and I strive every time I talk to her now to reinforce what an amazing person she is!! She isnt perfect but shes so damn AMAZING!

I love that fact that I am getting older and more mature. When I look around I see people just... not learning lessons. Its just crazy! And I know that I didnt learn a lot of lessons because people wouldnt take the time and respect to teach me things in a fair and respectful way. But with a lot of people even when you try and do that they don't attempt to expand their own horizons! That's CRAZY TALK! No really out in the parking lot thats my brother Crazy Talk.

Ahhhhh amore!

I hope everyone out there in cyberland is having a great life and enjoying every moment! Please remember to help people but also Help yourself and be TRUE TO YOURSELF and be OPEN MINDED!

I love you all!


Especially you hotties!!!

Why do you think so many people write songs about womens beauty? It must be because it is so amazing! I love how not just with women, but with people in general, a lot of individuals glow! Like their consciousness just radiates out and affects the lives around them.

I love striving for that!

SUPER SAIYAJIIIINN!!!!!

Alright, thanks for letting me express myself.

I've always liked the Samurai alias best. Sam you should put out solo videos again, I remember I watched tons of them when I was first starting footbag, your solo vids were really cool.

Just finished capturing the footage. 24 tapes in all. I overwrote 3 clips by accident, I pretty much have no idea what they were. 246 clips created, some of which are a few minutes long. I have tomorrow off. It's 8:37 am and I haven't slept yet. I'm not even going to. I'm about to stretch, snack, and watch some after effects cs3 training videos. I am pumped and in the Zone! I plan to have the video finished in 2-4 weeks. It will be my obsession but I will revise it multiple times and have multiple layers of editing before it is done. I can't wait to watch it for the first time and be like... it's finally finished!

Didn't do much today. I mean.. I guess I did. Made a breakthrough in this thing I was trying to do in editing. Made 55 dollars for a few hours at work. Oh yeah I spilled a freakin TUB of ranch dressing in the walk in fridge. o.. m..g.. it EXPLODED all over the ground and all over me and I was FUCKED! The only saving grace was that we were dead so I was able to tell the hostesses to not seat me for 30 minutes while I cleaned it, and myself, up. But, I mean, I cleaned it all up myself which actually impressed the cooks because they said normally they would have had to clean it. I can still see the tub of ranch falling in slow motion... noooooo! Man I gotta decide where I am gonna live I have like 4 choices!!

I want to post a letter I just wrote to a friend. I feel like it might make some people better appreciate the things they have and even their lives. I am in no ways trying to be egotistical or pompous. Enjoy!
Superior Curt

I just wanted to let you know that the statue I gave you has significant meaning to me. I am very happy to pass it on to you, and I do not regret giving it away, however, I thought telling you what it means to me would help you appreciate it more, and maybe even allow you to utilize some of its power.

Buddha in the Lion's mouth:
I was 18 or so, with my Dad and his girlfriend, at an outdoor flea market in smalltown, USA. I don't know how much money I had. Somewhere in the vicinity of a hundred dollars.Well I walked up and down this street looking at all the antiques and trinkets, pretty much unimpressed, not with all of it, but with most. And then I came upon this vendor of hand carved, Asian looking wooden statues. I don't recall exactly, but I know that this one stood out. It's like I was impressed with everything but I just picked up the Buddha in the lions mouth. It cost me 40 dollars (this number is meaningless to me now, but at the time it was surprising for me to spend that much on something like that.. not like me at all). But I knew it was hand carved and totally worth it. I knew that it had no purpose, but I also knew that I would keep it with me. I don't know what it was. I actually believe, after a few LSD experiences, that even inanimate objects contain energy, and that, at one time, that energy was probably part of a sentient being. So, in essence, I feel like there was some sort of kindred spirit to this object. I promptly put it in my pocket and have carried it with me ever since.

At one point in my life I only owned a backpack, a closet full of clothes and my computer. It was here in Lakeland. I had just left Los Angeles to return to Florida, having been kicked out of my mom's place; my life a swirl of uncertainty and upheaval. I still kept my little wooden Buddha close by. I think I set it right next to my computer a bit, but then returned it to my backpack as not to lose it. Curt, every time you have ever seen me at work, just arriving on my bike, with my backpack, that statue has been with me. Years ago, when I attended class at Glendale College in California, that statue was with me. Further back still, when I was born, it was fated that I would travel with this statue for a time; that stars aligned and the forces of gravity weighted for the time to be right. I wish I knew who carved it. Rather, I wish I could youtube the video of that person carving it, a synopsis their life, the reasons why they made it, and what inspiration they passed on. It was made by the hands of a true artist, that much I know. The skill is so evident, so evident that a simple piece of art has touched me so deeply and been something that I held on to so tightly.

Curt, I want you to know the reason I gave it to you because I had not planned to.

I remember your house... The colors. The mangas. The closet of action figures. The art on the wall. The mesmerizing swirl of the TV. The allure of the laptop. The broke ass stationary bicycle (lol chuck that ish!). I didn't check it out, but I'm sure the kitchen was stocked with scrumptious healthy delicacies to whet the proverbial whistle. ... The couple of times I have been there really affected me. It was a warm, happy place. Not too happy, lol! But, strong and worthwhile. That's it! It had a worthwhile aura because of the effort you put into it. Hah! You can't respond! Well, I know you would say you wish you could put more effort into it. Or, it's not as worthwhile as I am saying it is. But.. you can't say anything :) You have to just read.... anyway... Regardless of your anti-ego, the place made an impression. Not because I want to have the same things as you, or as much as you, but because I want to work hard enough to make something as rock solid (in this world of impermanence). You really inspire me. When I ask my self what good has come from me moving to Lakeland, one of the top things has been meeting you. Actually the most important even I believe has been when I came to work with a thrown out back and you told me to 'man through it'. I became more of a man that day. I'm sure I would have still made it through the day, but I'm also sure I would have complained a lot.

Just as I know a bit about you, you know a bit about me. You know that I strive to make beats that inspire. I also strive to make videos, and now art, that inspires. I hold laughter in the highest regard like you. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of consciousness and searching for limit breaks in our physical reality. Something different about me is I wasn't man enough to not leave my family. I wasn't man enough to be a cool kid, I was the nerd. Something different about me is I really do believe in having less and less things until I have almost nothing. I feel like when I have as little as possible is when I will be the most happy and when I will probably be the most financially well to do. I feel so distracted by the objects that I own. Weighted down... Stuck. But, my little wooden Buddha has always been one of the objects that was as light as a feather and kept me happy. The reason I gave it to you Curt, is I finally feel like I am strong enough to really make it to that next level. I think attempting to stand up for myself to you when I kicked you that night and then taking the time to keep talking to you about what happened, aligned with all the other ways I am trying to better myself and my life lately, and caused me to reach a level, where when we finally did come to our understanding, I suddenly realized I wanted to give you Buddha in the Lion's Mouth. The crazy part was, after I offered it to you, I felt like you would not accept.. but then you did, and it made me happy. The reason I am writing this is dually to make you aware of the significance you have had in my life, and the significance of what I have given you. Now, if ever someone asked about it, you can tell them something you have learned from me, or about some crazy time we had together.

Oh yeah, when I was back in Los Angeles, I was getting into photography and I made a white screen in my room, and used photoshop to make the attached image. So, I will still always have it with me, :) Digital art rules! Basically, this is what the statue looks like to me, on acid!

Also in my movie, at 1 hour 3 minutes and 40 seconds, you will see Buddha in the Lions mouth, on a rock, in a valley, in a forest, near a stream.

Sweet! Well don't get all mushy on me lol jk you big destroyer. It sounds like I'm about to leave lakeland or commit suicide or something, but I'm not! Also, if you try and give it back to me I won't accept because it's place is no longer with me.

Thanks for reading and be well,
