Hey Ari, checking to see what's new and how "Adventures in Power" is doing out on the festival circuit.
I've updated a lot of acting videos on my site to include a fixed link to my scene in "Transformers" ("Sir says here 4500X was shot down three months agon in Afghanistan"), "Breaking Bad" (I'm the cop) and the trailer to an amazing short we did out in Atlanta called "Expectations". Check it out and let me know what you think.
On the way to class I saw a bearded man handing out large black beverages from the back of a truck. Feeling particularly sporty, I took one. Drinking the syrupy green liquid abruptly took me back to when I was 16, watching the film Pearl Harbor with my girlfriend. I choked down half the can, feeling an odd mixture of nostalgia and self-hatred. Monster Energy Drink. Several minutes later, I burped silently. It tasted suspiciously meaty, like eating large quantities of lightly carbonated pork chops.
hey Ari. nice to hear from you. Morocco says hi back. i just watched your little boy video on youtube. really nice. brought back memories of prospect park, brainstorming song lyrics. kisses to you.
