.....and I'm back
well helloi don't even know the last time i updated this thing. i never get online anymore.anyways, i went to florida last weekend. that was pretty cool. weather-wise, it rained alot, but that alright cause florida has some kick ass lightning storms. friday night we had this big get together, meet the family sort of thing. oh yeah, i forgot to mention that this is a family reunion. but not just aunts and uncles family. like, i met grandchildren of my grandma's second cousins. thats how big a deal this was. more than half of them were from france, and couldnt speak any english. good food, though. saturday night was kindof like a big family prom. we all dressed up nice, went to a swanky restaurant, ate some food, and then the dj played dancing songs while everybody got jiggy with it. i don't get very jiggy, so i opted to film the whole ordeal with my camcorder. it was nice to be there in the middle of everyone without having to shake like a moron. if only my real prom had been that easy. that was a good time. sunday night was the big goodbye bbq. had some chicken, had some beer. i learned that i have some really cool cousins, and i got a little plastered with them. the highlight of my trip though, i think, was me showing my final film to all my relatives. try and imagine "night of the peeps" with an audience of hyperactive 8 year olds and drunk old people who dont speak english. it was interesting to say the least:Robin (4 year old cousin): are you the one who made the scary movie with the chickens?Me: yeah, did you like it?Robin: I dunno, gramma was covering my eyes the whole time.heh. i liked that. other than that, the trip was pretty normal. i had fun. too bad it took me so long to loosen up and enjoy myself. oh well.i saw "magnolia" the other night. interesting movie. ive kinda wanted to see it since it came out, but never got the chance. ive heard two reviews from friends before i saw it:Adam: Yo, this movie will change your life, bro. It is the best movie I've ever seen, you won't believe it. Awesome. You need to see it.Jeff B: That movie sucks. Its very long, and very stupid. After about twenty minutes, you want to turn it off. It sucks. I hate it. So I watched it. I liked it. It's one of those movies where there's a bunch of different story lines that cross back and forth and tie together and stuff. very well made, kinda long, the ending's really really funny (but then again i have a sick sense of humor). some people might think its a little disturbing, but heh, after watching "happiness" i have quite a tolerance for fucked up movies. maybe i'll buy the dvd.what else did i see? oh yeah, "the score." really cool. not like, amazing. the plots alright, almost forgettable, but friggin robert de niro and edward norton are awesome in it. brando's good too, even though he seemed a bit crazy. ah well. i guess i recommend you see it, be it the regal, the dollar theater, or whatever. heh, listen to me, i sound like a film critic. no! bad bad! well, i've got other things to do. 'night.and yeah, this got posted twice kinda. i don't care though. so there.
