Never Enough Time

I know it's been a while since I've updated my blog. I've been preoccupied with trying to figure out what to do with my life. I think this is why I haven't been able to sleep all this year. There's too much activity in my brain, too much stress, too many things I want to do, and places I want to go. I have two more years until I am 30 and already I feel like time is running out. It's hard to feel productive when you are unemployed, broke, and living in a huge city where you know absolutely no one.

LA is a strange place. Time slows down dramatically here, so you feel like you have all the time in the world to do the things you want to do. Over the last two years, I've been living on little to no income. Still, I can afford to buy organic foods at Trader Joe's, go to Disneyland (thanks to the So-Cal Select Annual Passport), see movies at the Drive-In, and complete my stop-motion films.

My goal for the end of the year is to complete at least four shorts. I already have one down and you can see it here:


I am currently finishing up my second animated short entitled "Frogs, Toads & Love" written and co-directed by Barbara Parks in NY, a friend whom I have never met in person. The internet is amazing that way.

After that, I will be finishing up two music videos for my friend Imelda de la Cruz; the first is live action for "Do or Die" and the second will be animated for "Stay".

I guess this is why I like it here. For the first time in my life I feel like I can stop to enjoy the good things in life and know that I can still pursue my dreams.
