Buzzards?

Today I came home and found some buzzards flying around my house. It was the weirdest thing. I don't think I've ever seen a buzzard up close in the wild, so this was a new experience. I decided it would be a good idea to snap some pics. Some of you may be wondering how I knew it was a buzzard. Well, because shortly after I began snapping shots, my neighbor "Tommy" (that's Tommy #1 for those of you in the know) came out and began shouting to my other neighbor to get them dawgs inside cuz the buzzards are can fly down and pick em up! I thought this was strange but Tommy probably has more experience with buzzards than I do. In the end, no mammal was hurt, human, dawg, or buzzard. Here are the pictures.

I also took some video with my cell phone so its not the greatest, but if you listen close...you can hear Tommy shouting for us to take cover.

Go Bills.

The Bills are 1-3. This is the point in which most fans would hide underneath their blankies and dream of better days. But, I for one, am not most fans. I am not what you would call a "bandwagon fan". I have been a Bills fans my whole life. 24/7/365. Yeah I used that awful cliche. So what? It fits in this instance. So while fans of other teams desperately try to hide their fandom or search for another team, I wear my Bills colors proud today. Not because they are doing well, but because they are doing poorly and need my support. Even if they don't win another game for the rest of my life, I will still be a fan til the end. GO BILLS.

The Gospel According to Mark

Yes. I said it. For those of you who don't know, which is most of you, two summers ago, I traveled to Mountaintop, Pennsylvania to make a movie. The movie was based on a short story by Jorge Luis Borges by the same name. It was a subpar screenplay. It had its faults. I was merely a first year film student, not knowing what the hell I'm doing. Unlike now, where I've mastered the art... Anyway, I drove to Mountaintop in hopes of creating a masterpiece. My collaborator was none other than my good friend, Kurt Warner. He introduced me to Borges' work and was very enthusiastic about the chance to create something like this. Partway into production of this movie, Kurt needed to leave the project. I hold no grudge against him for this. I knew that he wasn't feeling himself.

However, needless to say, I encountered many problems on this endeavor. It was my first attempt at a movie and I struggled throughout. Despite all these problems, my cast/crew and I finsihed all the scenes and had a good time doing it. Recently, I got the desire to edit this movie together into something I can show.

But while I was digitizing my footage, I realized that the outtakes were by far more entertaining than the editing piece of crap i would be working on. So I plan on releasing to my viewers one scene at a time, each take, uncut. Moviemaking is tough stuff. Especially for those who don't know what they're doing.

Our first scene was actually one of the last scenes in the film. I blocked out the scene in about 20 minutes right after we got there. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy.
