The End of a Long Silence

So campers, I'm sure at this point I'm keeping this journal for myself, so I suppose it doesn't matter how infrequently I frequent this place. A lot has happened in the time between my last post and now, and still nothing has really changed. School as of now is FUBAR. I can pull everything together, but I'm going to need the time and the desire to finish on my own. My brother's band is kaput and so far he has been nothing but discouraging about my desire to enter the entertainment industry. I can understand why, but I'm certainly going to have to go without any familial support on this one.

As far as my film career is going, it's not. No shorts, no nothing. Plenty of ideas, but I have neither the equipment, nor the time to do what it is that I'd like to do. What I have been doing is watching a LOT of films. To date, I've rented something along the lines of 70+ movies since joining Netflix, my DVD collection has grown beyond 150 movies and TV shows, and I've enjoyed quite a few that I had never been exposed to before. I know a lot, and I've seen a lot, but my technical knowledge is nearly non-existant, I'm moving toward more the role of the film critic than the filmmaker. But I will make several films in the span of my lifetime, even if I need another vocation to support my avocation.
