the continuity

prior to entering college, i was having a hard time with the school's housing. they first told me my roommate's name was milton. then i got concerned. from my experience with miltons, ahem, i was hesitant, of course. then it so happened that this milton was supposed to be roommates with 8 other students. and so i got shafted out of my to-be fantastical remake of office space.

housing, 2 days before school started, told me my roommate's name was zach. after some quick facebook stalking, i found that this man was actually a full-fledged man. that is, he is a senior. now, there's really only one reason a senior would dorm with a freshman: it's because he's a loser. like, really. why would anyone want to dorm with clueless, insecure freshmen. freshmen suck. also, his default picture on facebook showed him in front of some chinese monument. great. one of those "world traveler" bullshit types. so, i was not too stoked, to say the least.

for some reason, he didn't come to the dorms until a week or so after school started. during this anticipatory time, i casually referred to him as my "missing bitch." yes. i referred to him as my bitch. zach, if you're reading this, well, if you ever confront me, i'll deny it all. 

finally, i met this man, and, to say the least, i now really respect him. he is fun to be around and he's quite ridiculously smart. he has some questionable antics. like walks on tightropes. and doesn't shave. but i digress.

zach is exceptionally talented at longboarding. and so, me being the filmmaker and all, i decided to make an artistic skate video. it turned out swell after 2 days of shooting (1 day where i was completely soaked) and about of a week's worth of free time editing. i then threw it onto youtube.

this man named adam colton, who happens to be one of the leading figures in longboarding, contacted me. he wanted to use it for the loaded longboarding newsletter. of course i said yes. what you see before you is the first skate video of many to come. congratulations. you are a winner.

another beginning

i've just started college. the next 4 or so years are supposedly the prime years of my life and here i am wasting them away as a biology/film double major, theatre minor, pre-medicine emphasis. yes. you heard right. quite a mouthful,...no? when i'm not studying for my ridiculous biology tests, i operate, supposedly, as a normal college student i.e. hanging out with friends, participating in "healthy" activities, and anything of that boring sort. 

truth is, i have previously dabbled in blogs and podcasts and things of this nefarious nature. really, the only reason i'm doing this is so that i have a journal of kinds to read when i'm however old and am feeling slightly nostalgic. 

one problem is whether to tell people i have a blog or not. see, if i tell people i know, i can't write anything i want without fear of being reprimanded. and who knows what the professors will do when they see that dear little peter is writing bad things about them. again, here is the problem: my chances to get into medical school are drastically lowered if a professor of mine sees any insulting comments towards them. perhaps i should stay away from that matter all together. perhaps. but really, if anyone who knew me read this, they would instantly know it's me. biology and film double major? i'm pretty sure i'm the only one in the western hemisphere.

writing kind of relaxes me. problem is, my handwriting is shit and so i resort to online journaling. how gay is that. man, i am such a dweeb. 

as for my future, people ask, what will you do with a film/bio double major? and then they all say, "hey you should film national geographic" usually followed by a disgusting gargle of a laugh.

no. i'm going to be a doctor. and a good one at that. i've known it since i was 3. 

film is just for shits and giggles.
