Dear Sun,
I'm going to miss you. Why must you leave me at 5pm? We should hang out more. Maybe I'll see you this summer, take care.
Dan
Dear Readers,
Got back to the Rochester the other night after a stuffed thanksgiving week of traveling, get togethers and eating. Did stand up last night at the Boulder Open mic, was really fun. Did all new stuff making it up as I went of just true stories that happened to me over break.
Time to finish my movie and get out of here, to wherever, i'll tell ya when i get there.

on Twitter
Dear Readers,
So I tried to make a twitter for my movie The Last Actor, but it just reactivated my old one, so i just made some changes and now i bring you:
http://twitter.com/TheLastActor
Will be putting on daily updates on the ongoing adventure that is the The Last Actor film written directed and starring yours truly. A little shameless self promotion. If I'm not going to promote it, who is? Exactly. And I'm not James Cameron (yet) with 200 million dollars to promote my film, so we're going with the twitterverse for now, then an official website to come sometime in January.
No rest til this thing is done. I've had it with all this other crap getting in the way. It's movie time.
Rock On,
DAN

Comedy Club Show
Performed last night at the October edition of the Chet Wild Comedy Showcase as The Comedy Club in Webster. Did a pretty rockin set, heard a lot of "iwes" and "grosses" which made me laugh on stage. Got to meet some other comedians.
Went to Wegmans afterward and the cashier lady was definitely on Crystal Meth.

Into The Wild
Watched the 2007 Sean Penn film, Into the Wild tonight.
I tried watching it before a year or so ago but didn't finish it. So it was nice to see it in its entirety.
I enjoyed it quite a lot. I can definitely feel the main character of Alexander Supertramp as he calls himself, as I've been feeling many of the same things he talks about and feels in the film. It scared me in that I can see myself doing a similar thing in just leaving this whole society behind to venture into the unknown. Whats more scary to me is not doing something like this, and just taking things easy and not putting myself out there to experience new and dangerous situations. Idk. I still have a lot to learn, and going out there and doing something would help.
Technically the film is beautifully shot with amazing location photography from Arizona, South Dakota, Nevada, California to Alaska. The performances were all really good across the board as well. Emile Hirsch was great as the lead, and all the supporting characters brought something new and interesting throughout the film from Vince Vaughn, to the always captivating Kristen Stewart, and to the well deserved Oscar nominated performance of Hal Holbrook in one of the later segments of the film. There is also an interesting cameo with Zach Galifianakis where his accent is so good you can barely tell its him.
Overall, a really good film for anyone who as ever thought about leaving it all behind and going Into the Wild.

Today was lame
Worst part of the day: Not enough sleep. Midterm. Remembering I left my phone at home, felt off the grid, kinda weird. Had to run around to 7 different bathrooms to find one that wasn't either occupied/out of service/closed for maintenance/locked. Homework. No time for lunch. Class. Homework. Got pulled over by campus safety for going 30 in a 15, didn't get a ticket so it wasn't that bad, just annoying. No time for dinner. Oral presentation. Watched a terribly boring movie La Cuidad. I don't even know.
Best Part of the Day: After it all, eating a Hawaiian pizza at MacGreggors.

First of October
Dear Readers,
Has been quite a busy week for our lone hero Daniel. Classes are hitting hard with more and more work and he has started filming a short documentary on tomorrow's Red Barn Burner Competition II. This is a Bouldering Rock Climbing competition held at the RIT Red Barn (the best place on campus, and in all of Monroe county for that matter). What is Bouldering? What is this competition all about? Well readers, you will have to become viewers when this little documentary is done, and you will find all that out and much more. He has shot over 100 Gigs of footage in the past 4 days, and more to be shot tomorrow. I heard he feels good about the project and looks forward to showing it to people.
Dan tore a hole in his favorite jacket pocket. Not his favorite pocket, but his favorite jacket, don't want any confusion. But nevertheless, this made Dan very sad.
This morning Dans left pinky finger was swollen and hurt like a SOB. He did nothing to it the day before, thus it quite perplexed Dan to its current state. This made Dan angry. Even in sleep he can't help but get injured.
What will happen to Dan in the following week? The following month? The following year? The following decade? I for sure don't know, and neither does he and neither does anybody else. Anything could happen.
Until next time,
Narrator
