its been awhile

2005-12-12T03:22:49Z

So its been something like half a year since i updated. Since then I've been involved with shows on MTV, MTV2, Comedy Central, I've created a ton of art and short films, and I'm been overall alot better of a person.

Now I'm letting you all know where I will be living out of, in hopes that you frequent the site.

http://www.uber-street.com

It will be the new portal of not just my work, but my good friends such as dan pinto and matt gaston. It will feature new films and animation in the style I hope that we can make our own. and theres a short video i made in 10 minutes to tide you over til it opens.

It should be up by mid January.

Thank you,
Bryan

P.S. hopefully I'll update this before this summer?

todays journey.

Michael: (Micheal Jackson)Why are you doing this? Stop it!
Mr. Big: (Joe Pesci)You wanna know why I'm doing this, do you? I just wanna get everybody high, Man. You know, some good drugs. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

-------------------------------------

Today, me, matt, and jeff daniels watched Micheal Jackson's Moonwalker. I childhood favorite of mine, which i found for $3 today on VHS (at the Italian Market along with Uncle Sam, and Spaceballs). Moonwalker is Pure Magic, Micheal Jackson wishes upon a star and turns into a tranformer that shoots machine guns. Need I say more.

this summer so far

2005-06-23T23:46:31Z

So far this summer, Ive lived in philadelphia. Ive worked two jobs. I worked at saladworks for 2 weeks. Now i work at 8th St Music. I love getting paid. I bought a mixer, a guitar and cables. I wanna learn how to play piano, guitar, and everything else. I wanna learn how to tap dance. Im currently making an animation about a cop shooting a plane. I thought of it after smoking weed. I smoke too much now. I want to quit, but i feel like im probably addicted inside. I feel the same way about caffine. I feel like all i do is work and sleep, and not accomplish much. I feel like im accomplishing more than almost every other uart student. Sometimes I feel like i could accomplish alot and be considered genius. Sometimes, i think i will fail at life and die unhappy with the choices i made. Sometimes I fear falling off of my deck. Even when im inside. I really like music right now. The new ben folds album is a masterpiece. i also am into tilly and the wall a ton right now. I keep getting bug bites. I feel like I never get enough sleep. I hate the sound of the city. Sometimes i think i might be depressed, but othertimes i think I might just be bored. I dont want this summer to end without something new and exciting happening. I miss some of my friends from omaha on occasion. I miss not worrying about money. I constantly feel like im sick. I feel very unhealthy all the time as well.

most of all.
Everything feels like its happened a hundred times already.
Thats my summer so far.

arrested development last night

2005-03-21T17:34:30Z

arrested development is by far the most intellegent show to hit the air in a very long time, last nights reveal of Gob being Steve Holt's father is so ridiculously great. The chain of cousins being in love continues further somehow. I just thought i would comment about that.
