I am so freaking nervous right now. I need to go to bed so I can wake up because call time for my first time directing an HFC(Hofstra Filmmakers' Club) film is at 6a.m.. I am like shaking. I keep thinking something's going to go wrong. I keep thinking it's going to rain or one of my actors won't show up or I'll oversleep or freeze up or something. I need to relax.

I really do not like where I am right now. I can't remember the last time I had all my thoughts straight. There's so many thoughts and desires and emotions constantly running through me. I'm starting to feel like there's something wrong with me. I feel like this must be how crazy people feel. I'm like spit between several sides. They all want something different and they are tearing me apart. In the morning I will be wanting something completely different then what I want right now.

People think I'm confident. They do. I don't know why. I have no confidence. I really don't. I'm constantly questioning everything I do.

I'm friends with seemingly everyone. I really am. I say hi to so many people when I walk anywhere. So why do I feel like there is no one there?

There's a phone call I've been wanting to make. I don't know if it's the best idea. I just feel like it's something I should do... eventually.

I don't know what I'm doing here. I'll probably delete this within a few days.

I had a dream last night, a certain person that I haven't seen in years and I became friends again. There were a lot of other things happening but I don't remember and I'm pretty sure none of them were as important as this.

I don't know why but after all these years I still have dreams about this person. I wonder what they did to have such a lasting effect on my mind.

I did this to myself.

2009-10-17T03:36:07Z

I guess a night like this was bound to happen sooner or later.

I love being a film major. Last week's shoot was a ton of fun, even though it was long, cold, and everyone was cranky. I mean it was two nights. Saturday's shoot started at 6 pm and didn't end till Sunday at 5:30 am. It was cold, we were cranky but I still loved it. Plus, and I hate to sound like I'm in middle school but I'm now friends with all the cool film kids. Haha! It's no big deal except for the fact that they run HFC(Hofstra Filmmakers' Club) and it's definitely going to be beneficial being friends with them. My nickname is apparently Buddha.

I'm seeing Where the Wild Things Are with HFC tomorrow. It's like a big club trip so that should be pretty cool. I'm acting in a 47 film Saturday morning and then I'm going bowling that night and possibly dinner. I'm really looking forward to that one.

Oh! I've been greenlit to make my first HFC film. It's going to be awesome. I need to get to work though. I still have to make a shot list, a crew(although I'm already getting a lot of requests to help), and a budget/schedule but I don't think that will take to long. I want to get it shot soon though because two characters are wearing nothing but a sheet for the whole film and it's completely outside.

Had my meeting with the people running Birthright. With any luck I'll be spending New Year's in Israel!

Ahhh, this is the life.

Just finished shooting my first RTVF 27 film, "Lessons in Love". I'm a little worried about a few shots because I can't edit this project and I know the light was overexposed on some shots but there wasn't really much I could do about it.

Now, I'm just enjoying a PB&J, a beer and the Patriots game.

Got a Drastic Measures rehearsal in an hour and then I'm doing stand up twice again tonight. I totally killed last night. It feels so good when you have a great set. I even had a few jokes that I came up with that day that people loved.

Then I really should revise an HFC script and write a treatment for my Screenwriting class. I've been putting those off for a little while now.

I've also been meaning to make a joke database on my computer. It's probably better than saving the napkins I write my sets on.

Maybe I will fast tomorrow. Not for religious reasons but because the idea of Yom Kippur seems to have a bigger meaning for me this year. It seems appropriate to cleanse my soul and start the year fresh.

More details about the rape incident.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/twisted_motive_behind_rape_story_niSXmOMgjcr2RTJiRkacXJ

Yeah. I wanted to give this story the benefit of the doubt but it's become pretty clear that the girl lied.

In the wake of the gang rape incident I am really surprised that this place isn't more of a madhouse today.

I don't know how far this story is stretching but apparently it's become a national story. What happened was this past Sunday a girl reported that she was lured into a bathroom on the eleventh floor of the building I live in and was tied up and raped by five guys. One of the guys goes to school here. This past week has been crazy around campus. Everyone kept talking about it. My facebook was dominated with statuses about it. Two other incidents happened this week too. On Tuesday there was an armed robbery and yesterday there was an alert of two separate sexual harassment cases.

So anyway, yesterday the girl who was supposedly raped recanted her statement. Apparently, she was lying the whole time. Again, within minutes my facebook was littered with angry statuses. I received an email this morning from Hofstra that said to call public safety if anyone was being harassed by the media.

Now, no one believes that this story is over. It's possible that the girl wasn't lying and there is something fishy there but the story was pretty weird to begin with. One detail that I found strange was that one of the guys asked the girl if she wanted to get something to eat after they finished.

If it really is a lie though, I feel really bad for the guy on campus who's name was dragged through the mud because of this girl. Everyone on campus(myself included) acted as if they hated this guy. One of my professors actually told the class that he was a monster, which would be true if this happened. I didn't know him but I think he was on the football team.

What really concerns me about this whole thing is the impact it's going to have on future victims around campus. Now, if a girl gets raped on campus no one is going to believe her.

As for the sexual harassment charges, an email was sent explaining them. One was a situation where a guy tried to kiss a girl on the cheek and she freaked out. Another was a guy hit on a girl and put his hand on her back and she also freaked out. Lol, be careful if you're single is all I can say. It's going to be really tough to hit on someone now.

Wow, Hofstra! Gang Rape, Armed Robbery and Sexual Harassment in 4 days. I really feel safe.

Edit: So apparently the gang rape was a lie and the sexual assault turned out be a kiss on the cheek and a pat on the back. What was the armed robbery? A squirtgun over some skittles?

That is the Bible(Both Testaments) with pictures made with Legos. I just spent like an hour reading stuff. I learned quite a bit and I have to be honest. I am shocked by some of those stories. I thought I knew them but I guess they were a lot worse than I thought. And the Catholic part of my family/Rabbis on campus wonder why I'm not religious. Honestly, after reading some excerpts of the Book of Revelation, Scientology doesn't sound quite so ridiculous anymore.

Gotta love this surround sound in my room. I can blast my music and the neighbors barely even hear it. I love my room all together. It's the same room as last year but with all new furniture and paint. That combined with the way I arranged it makes it feel like a completely different room.

I'm really happy with the way this year is turning out. I was worried since my buddy Eric graduated I'd have a harder time finding people to hang out with since I used to spend so much time with him but it hasn't been bad at all.

I do have my work set for me. I realized the other day that I'm pretty far behind considering I am a Junior film major. Everyone else seems to have gotten so much more done by now. I mentioned this to a guy I know who is actually the president of Hofstra Film Club. He said it wasn't bad at all. He pointed out that this year I'll be taking RTVF 27 and 47 and I'll probably make at least one HFC film. By the end of the school year I should have plenty under my belt. Other than that I also have two classes designed for creative scriptwriting(each with a project due this week) and two production classes which will require tons of scripts and then two regular classes, both with homework of their own. At least creative writing is fun and I already have like five scripts already written on my computer.

Other than that I have a lot to do as the Director of P.R. for both Drastic Measures and Haha Hofstra. Haha is going to have an awesome year. We got like 300 interested names at the Clubs Fair last week. It was my job to find them all on facebook and also put their emails into an address book for the haha hofstra email address. We already have our first celebrity comedian booked for the end of the month as well as several other events set up in the next month around campus. DM doesn't seem to have as promising of a year but it still should be good.

I like to think about how different I am now from when I was in High School. I tell my friends how I was this scrawny kid in High School. Not into sports, big into musicals and looked like Harry Potter. How did I not get my ass kicked all the time? Haha! Now, I'm doing intramural football, I go to the gym everyday and I'm listening to Pink Floyd as I write this with only like two showtunes on my ipod. I don't even know anyone from High School anymore. I always tell people that the only friend I have from High School is a girl I met in college.

Hmmm, I don't remember the last time I did anything really with my livejournal. I don't even know if anyone will read this. Lol, I'm so talkative that I talk even if no one's going to listen. Haha! I should get going, though. I'm seeing Up with a friend in like a half hour. Well, it was good talking to you livejournal. Lets not wait for the next funeral to have another reunion. Lawlz galore.

Well, that was a nice little fantasy. Guess I really got blue-balled. I really wish I had come to this realization sooner. Like why didn't apply out there when I was actually applying and not when it was too late?

Gah! One more reason to wish I hadn't been the person that I was in High School.

Haha, I remember watching him when I was a little kid. He was the chef for Lamb Chop's Passover. Not my first experience watching the Dom but it was great nonetheless.
