Week 8: I Want To Do Nothing

Okay okay okay.  This video is a little different.  

I ended up going to work on Tuesday without having recorded an interview yet for my weekly video! That was yesterday! I didn't have time to setup some pretty looking professional interview with an overpriced camera and a very difficult to use mic kit.  So instead I just filmed myself walking to work at the studio.  I also ended up filming at lunch and on the walk back to my car just so I could get it sounding like I wanted! 

This video is the product of spending an incredible weekend in Malibu with friends, just getting back to the basics and disconnecting.  

You will also notice this music is not the typical overly cinematic piano (sometimes boring) piece that I find on Soundcloud.  For me, when I think about doing nothing I think about being in early high school listening to Mac Miller's mixtape K.I.D.S.  So I thought it would it would be a disservice to not use a beat off of that album.  I don't care how it sounds it's gotta be from K.I.D.S.!  And thus we have the Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza beat!

I will be back next week! Sorry I have not been responding to comments, I've been working more than I anticipated but I still read them and I enjoy them very much (they are good for my health and your's too)!

If you read this far you are the best! Not them, only you!  Well maybe them too. But only you.  (Don't think about this too much)

Week 7: Dating Apps

Week 6: Things Change

This past week the plan was to make a video about my hometown.  As I went around the city and visited places I hadn’t been in over a decade it hit me how much things have changed. How much I have changed! And yet I couldn’t figure out why I had changed.  

In this week's video that is what I discuss.  I talk about how working at a sandwich shop really helped to shake up my life and how I ended up taking an improv class in Hollywood at The Groundlings.  

I found myself getting emotional when I was reliving all these memories all over my hometown.  It was very unexpected.

I hope you enjoy!

I would be wrong not to mention where the title came from:

Week 5: Camping

I’ve been in San Francisco for the past week.  And those of you in America you know it was Super Bowl Sunday this past weekend and the game took place in San Francisco.

So as people flooded into the city to either go to the game my friends and I realized none of us really care about football! So we decided it would be a good opportunity to get away from it all.  

We went camping up in Northern California at a place called Pomo Canyon.  The campground ended up being closed so we hiked around and found a good spot off site to camp for the weekend.  It was a beautiful place with great views of the coast.  We made some amazing food and I have to say this was probably the best Super Bowl weekend I have ever had!  Who won the Super Bowl again? Nah just messing it’s not worth it.

And for those of you that are wondering the song is a Billy Joel cover of Vienna played and sung by Larry Fisherman (aka Mac Miller).  The key is that the song is slowed down.  I found the mood of the song and the words that Billy Joel wrote to be very appropriate to how I was feeling this weekend.  

Living just a couple days without my phone was a very refreshing feeling.  It has provoked a couple ideas for some videos, so watch out for those!

Thanks everyone for watching and I will see you next week!
