Our New President

Barack Obama, the new president of the United States of America.

I've heard all over the place people are finally proud to be an American. I've always had faith that this is a great country, because of the potential we have to make a difference, but can't deny that in recent years that faith has been tested. 

We are finally going to be able to change the things that need to be changed, and prove that we live in a new world.

I can't even express how happy and excited I am.

Pooped

I would say that today is the first day in a long time that I'm actually, honest to god tired. I've gotten about 5 hours of sleep over the past few nights, due to fun movie making. I always forget how much I like something until I do it again. I'm even willing to sacrifice my free time/sleep to help out on these projects. 

Yesterday we went to Cedar Point to shoot some scenes from one of the movies that I'm production designer for. The park was closed and we were pretty much the only people there. We got to drive through the park to the Mantis (the ride we were shooting on). It was odd being there when nobody else was. It was also weird playing around on a park ride where we had full control of when the ride went out. I wasn't feeling so well but I still rode it once, which was enough for me. Some of the extras that made it out rode it 8 times...which is the direct cause of their recent loathing of the Mantis.

After we were done shooting yesterday I drove back by myself so I could surprise a friend at his 21st birthday partay. I stayed out for a long time even though I was extremely tired. I only got a few hours of sleep last night because I had to get up early to head off to work on some last minute Art House shoots. It was pretty relaxing, but still, didn't get much sleep and now I'm starting to doze off. Oops, probably should have taken a nap today, but, I'm not very logical sometimes.

Recaping this weekend so far:
-Movie Making
-Cedar Point Adventuring
-Driving...Lots of Driving
-Halloweening
-Surprising Friends
-More Movie Making
-Sleeping in Espresso Royale

AND the weekend's not even over yet. I'm back in town to go to another friend's birthday dinner, and then off to Wiard's Orchard to go to some haunted houses. I don't normally like haunted houses but I thought, hey why not?! Mmm, I'll probably pee my pants, but hey, that's why mother nature invented laundry detergent, am I right?
