Termite TV - Life Stories

My life story in five minutes I think would easily be defined with movement, I guess, maybe. I think I've been on the move since I've been born. I don;t even live in the state I was born in. I was born in Wisconsin and I kind of moved out into Michigan, I think, and I think and I was there for maybe, almost what it seems like two minutes and then we moved to Tucson, Tucson, Arizona which was really hot so I really wanted to move out of there. Then I moved into Virginia, which is a busy place in itself which I think you could define with movement 'cause it's just.... 'Cause it was right there near Washington D.C. which was really cool and then really not so cool after 9 PM 'cause then you're moving 'cause you're dodging bullets and stuff like that which was an interesting experience because it's not anything like out here in Oklahoma. And that was like a really big shell shock to come from like Virginia which is like on the east side of the U.S. and then move all the way to Oklahoma, move to the Bible Belt. And I had these notions that Oklahoma was nothing but grassland and it kind of proved me right where we moved. but there are places in Oklahoma that I think are really pretty. Especially after 5 PM in the Autumn. If you got to the Wichita mountains it's really nice out there. you get a lot of purple colors and orange colors and blue colors that are like in the sky and they mix with the mountains and you actually see purple mountains which I think is really, really beautiful. And it's really odd that I use that word because I never used that word before I moved to Oklahoma. I didn't think anything was really beautiful. Go to Virginia and everything's just busy and people just don't have time for you. Which was a disappointment I think because my parents didn't have any time for me. So I kind of found time to do other things which is what I'm majoring in right now I'm in film and in architecture, which is kind of an odd combination, everybody keeps looking at me like film and architecture? Why'd you do that? I'm still trying figure exactly why I'm doing that but I'm doing it and that's kind of killing em at the moment because they both take as much time about of my life. I think I really have to live film and live architecture when I do it. So that kind of consumes everything. It kind of turns into me, or I turn into architecture or I turn into film. I kind of balance out each semester 'cause since it's a double degree, one semester I'm mr. film and one semester I'm mr. architecture. So it kind of consumes me and I'm the building guy or the film guy. But I think that it's really interesting that I can integrate both techniques, both thinking worlds. One's really, a free world, you kind of think differently in film 'cause it's in the art school and you start thinking about more abstract things. Whereas in architecture it's sort of like a science, more of an engineering, it's very technical and I bring that over to film, I'm starting to learn more about the technical side of film but I'm also learning more about the aesthetics of architecture and it's really interesting how they just kind of just (-) together. And I think it really helps but then it really hurts because I'm gonna be here for another three years, I'm already a senior, and I've been here for four years so I'm gonna be here for three more years 'cause it's a five-year architectural program which isn't really all that fun. Plus I think I need four more years if I want to be an architect. And then film is just, it's just a really impossible journey, I think it's really rigorous but if I stick to it I think I will at least get a ground job somewhere. But my life in five minutes could be explained with an exhausting sigh maybe. I could do that for five years, and I think that's what I'm gonna be doin' for the next three years is just sighing and crying. I guess that's about it.
