Films/thoughts/ and the things that occupy my mind

Ok, so I have put together a couple of films in the last couple of years and they have unanimously been horrible. I think the main contributing factor is that they were not conceived by me and therefore they lack big time. There just isn't a story to be told, it is just a camera set up somewhere and the people don't act or move or do anything that can build the film I've been using a nice program to work on it all, but i don't know how to use it and it runs slow because of vista hoggin' down 700MB of my RAM. Anyways, I wish that I could have a nice camera and then just think up a good short movie and do it, but I'm always stuck with the lamo projects. The latest project was for my Russian class. We are all just sitting on a couch singing with random bits of film thrown in and some of the worst singing ever. I think that it is funny, but it is only painful to everyone else.

So, I was thinking that I'll get another Gig of Ram and install that to help my program run well and then I can watch how-to videos about filming. Then I think that I will write a movie idea and stuff down. Who knows? It could be a hit someday.
I've really wanted to study up on html and customize my blog, but my friend Tyler is already ahead of the game and I don't want to copy him...I don't know. Maybe I'll think of something fresh and do it.

On another note, I've been trying to work out in the mornings and go to bed early. It hasn't been going well because I've been sick and Nyquil( or whatever) just knocks me out and I wake up late. The other thing is that I have so much school work left before the semester is over. Tonight I am working on a MCOM 320 group project, tomorrow morning= Microsoft excel and Stats221 homework. I then need to work on a paper for my religion class that is due on monday.
I've been thinking about the lure of a bachelor's life this morning. Here are the factors that led me to this topic:
1)I have a "shallow girl filter" aka a mustache and that has shown me that there are alot of stachists disguised as women.

2)I do homework and I am with Cindy all the time(Time with Cindy is good, but time with homework stinks big time).

3)I really haven't just sat down with guys and played games that last for 3 hours in forever and I feel like the older I get the less apt I am to be a bum that plays computer and makes things(what things? I don't know). This is probably a positive thing, but it is a difficult transition for me into a real life.

4)I have some lazy habits and it is difficult for me to focus on the tasks at hand when there are so many back to back to back. I'm gonna try hard the rest of this week to focus on what I need/want to do and get things accomplished. Somehow I've got to find enjoyment and relaxation in the things that I'm doing. We'll see how that turns out

SO that's it. I still really enjoy being with Cindy. I just don't like finals and final projects and lame movies. The lure of a bachelor's life is nothing when compared with the lure of married life!

On another note, I really want to sleep well this coming spring and summer.(meaning I want to exercise so I can be physically tired at the end of the day). I hope that happens.
Happy day- I got a free pair of jeans the other day and they rock!
Happy day- Conference was great! Even though I can't remember alot of it, I felt like it will be important for me to review online those talks.
Odd thought- does anyone else want to just have a job that they love and that doesn't take up the whole day and gets good pay?! Good pay being anything upwards of $50,000. I do, but I don't know what I'd be interested in doing that would keep me competitive or that I would feel satisfaction from. Life stinks not knowing.
Odd thought- I made a dollar bill with pres. Samuelson's face on it. It looks too much like George W. so it isn't going to work out. ( I did make it with the help and expertise of Bruce and Jonathan).
I thought that I had Aced a test, but I ended up getting an 84 because I didn't understand one rule correctly. If I had known that 1 principle well, then I would have had a 94. Lamo.
Odd thought- I like my mustache because I feel like it satisfies my need to rebel from the hollister/tight jean community.
Odd thought- sometimes I want to live in Antarctica and work on computers while I watch a satelite screen monitering something worthwhile. Maybe I should go into the CIA.
I have also forgotten the difference between it, its, its', and it's. I have no clue, but I plan on looking that one up soon. Don't you hate when you feel like you are not gaining, but losing knowledge.

Last thought- my life is good, but I know that I can make it better with help, I just need to work on that for a while.

I hope you had fun reading my thoughts and stuff.

Goodness, this is quite the post.

Cindy said...

Yeah, see the thing is, he talks about how he now has this shallow girl filter...and I don't like his mustache...hmm...

I See Badgers said...

1. At first I thought you were breaking up with Cindy, and then I thought about how breaking up on your blog would probably be the worst way possible. Worse than text, worse than facebook.. yeah. It kinda makes me laugh

2. Interesting, I am wearing tight Hollister jeans to rebel against the stache crowd.

3. Yeah, I'll help you with your RAM. Come over sometime so we can open up your laptop. We need to see what it has inside.

Jonathan said...

Umm... just remember that the guy who gave you those rockin pair of jeans could probably be placed in the "hollister group"(though he tries his best not to be a walking advertisement).

Jonathan said...

Oh... and I guess you can group me among the shallow girls too because I don't exactly dig the stache either. (wink wink Cindy).

Dianey Face said...

You know what, Badge? Usually I hate mustaches. But you can actually pull it off.

DOH! I got rick roll'd! I'mina get you boy!

Jana said...

Eric Badger. You're a good man. Must run in the family. I-T-apostrophe-S always means 'it is.' ;)

You have a point on that rebelling against the status quo thing... Just remember that the lure of a (clean shaven) married life will also beat the lure of sticking it to BYU drones. :)

Desirae Badger said...

Eric,
I would love to compete with the stache, but alas I have a job where I must remain clean shaven and in a suit. Maybe when I have a good week vacation we can see who grows the nastiest mexi-stache...anyhow,...did I see someone winking at your girl????

Desirae Badger said...

I See Badgers said...
