DIAL A SHOT

One of the best things about traveling across the country is meeting new people. We took a long trip across the US. Easily the best night on the road was in Cincinnati, Fat Cats/Top Cats was a special kind of bar. This night gave us both the Front Butt, and the Dial a Shot, special, just special.

Will Google Colonize the Moon

A friend of mine is in the business of being a futurist. He's big on space being the next international battlefield between China and the US.

This is a very pressing issue, but I'm into movie logic. Will there be explosions, will people be shot out of space, why would we want to do that?

In the days of MOL space missions, the goal was three inch resolution. Now we can achieve that with Google maps. They have trumped all governments with their Google Earth project, and make arguably some of the most money in the whole world.

As Brin prepares to voyage into space, he pulls into the lead for civilian contractors with the most experience in space. When they build the first office tower on the moon, it is a given, and by given I mean if they are still around, that google will have a majority share in the construction project, no government can do it alone, nor should they be allowed to.

So this leaves me with a burning question, who will build these moon settlements. Most will likely be prefabbed on earth, but one has to imagine that in the future, the first commercial flights to the moon will need to land somewhere, and airports don't come prefabbed. So, I salute these yet unknown workers of the moon. Will they have to pay taxes on their moon earnings? Ahh, so many questions for the future.

The Never Ending Edit

The Lyfe Movie seems to go on forever, I've been editing on and off for about eight months now. Editing can leave you so disheartened some days. Tonight for example, I only managed to squeeze three hours of editing in. Not that I was busy all day, it's just some days I can't force myself to trudge forward anymore. The sad part is the work has to get done one way or another, and by not working tonight, I'm only tacking on an additional day to the end of the process.

This project has been costly to me, like every project I've done, it's hurt and left it's scars. This one cost a few so called friends. The tough part about this one was we set out to make a movie that was all illegal, and some of my friends are more or less retired from this work. Yet they still want to be up in this new flick, so they put me in the situation of having to say no. This particular friend, I made an exception for and I planned to film them. I even invited this friend to my sold out sneak preview to show him what kind of film I was making. But things hadn't moved fast enough for this "friend." And they decided they were too important to wait anymore.

Guess what asshole, you didn't even deserve to be in the lyfe.
