Mid-Summer Goals

I know it is already July 16, but there are still a few things I want to before its all over.

  • READ! - I started reading a great book about Jim Palmer and Earl Weaver over my vacation in North Carolina. It is an awesome read, but I’m just a bad book reader. I want to finish it soon and I have a few other books I would like to read before I go back to school.
  • Modify my car - So far I have tinted the windows and added an antenna and a German plate to my 04 Passat. I’ve got lots of ideas of what is next, I just need to financially be able to do make them all happen. There is a VW Show in York, PA on August 2nd that I plan to attend and a huge show on September 28 in Ocean City that I would like to go to.
  • Save some cash - This might conflict with my second goal, but I would like to put away some money for the school year. So far I have been pretty good about saving, I just need to continue it.
  • Learn to cook - When I first moved into my apartment I ate horribly, because I had never cooked a decent meal in my life. It was frozen burritos and canned foods for quite some time. It drove me crazy. So I have been learning to cook a few little things as I go and I hope to keep that going. I make pretty good chicken quesadillas, chicken tacos, and have even baked cookies. I don’t expect to be an expert, I just want to have a good foundation of meals for the next school year.
  • Keep zamwi moving - I have a lot of goals for this blog. It took a bit of time off but I want to make sure that does not happen anymore. I would like to do more video work on the site, because that is where the internet is moving and an area that I love. I want to try and post good information as well as keeping my friends who are all over the world updated with what is going on in my life.
  • Document - I bought a Flip camera about a month ago just for fun. I have been carrying it with me everywhere and it has become a part of my day. I want to film some of the exciting parts of my life and share them right here.
  • Take advantage of every free second - I stay up late and sleep in, but I want to make sure that any free time I have I take advantage of. So far I’ve been to North Carolina, New York City, Washington D.C., and Hershey Park twice. I’d say I’m off to a good start.

So that’s where I am. I’ll check back at the end of August to see how I did.

What do you want to do with the rest of your summer?

4-21 Update

I’ve been up to all sorts of stuff lately. Lots of video work.

Hopefully you have seen my experimental videos, Garage, and Say it ain’t so.

I’ve been working a lot lately, but today the Orioles are finally off.

I just had a tease for the Yankees series on our show at work. I would publish it but I don’t want to be sued by Major League Baseball.

Right now I am in production for a mocumentary about a secret society much like “Skull and Bones“…look them up they’re scary….

I’ve also been looking at stuff for my 04 VW Passat. Pretty much everything you could imagine.

You should expect to see my film in a few weeks, we just started.

You can follow my updates on my twitter, I’ve been keeping that up to date. I have also embedded them into the side bar here at zamwi.

=)

Garage

This is an experimental video I shot on a Panasonic P2 and Canon GL2. You can definitely see the difference between the two cameras. One is the best HD camera on the market and the other is a low end 3 CCD camera. I did my best to match it up. Essentially this project was just to give a location a certain feel. I chose a garage and went with a dark/lonely idea.
