My first taste of reality

2011-08-14T18:25:00.000-07:00

It is there after I smell the sent of fuel seeping through my skin itching its forever judgement. Tire treads cross my chest slowing my heart to disappointment as I gasp for deep breaths trying to maintain life. I try to stretch the length of my toes only realizing that my calfs have weakened from utter hate bottling up my ability to underrate my senses. My shoulder picks up my arm and places my hand in my focal sight, I cannot squeeze, my hand is shaking, and its covered in oil spills of dark oceans past. Breathing becomes a blessing as I start to hint laughter knowing that this is it this is the time that will forever be lost, My lips fatten up simultaneous with my eyes turning to glass. Blood spurts out of a cough and the back of my head starts to tingle, I spread my legs further apart on the ground and gently lye my arms spread apart as well. My eyes soon become closed and my body go's limp, The pictures in my head soon become reality and all I can think about is how comfortable I am. I see everyone, I see them young, beautiful and Happy, Dancing and joking lovingly with me and each other in a world of great color. What ever we wanted, it showed up...a glass of wine...sushi....a kiss...and her. She is laughing with me about our future and how we are going to be amazing but then she turned quickly toward me with seriousness, she lets go of my hand and repeats "you have to go" over and over, Its like I stopped walking and she continued. My eyes open and she returns but its very noisy and to many people are talking I hated it there it was painful. She was there... She was there..... and thats all I knew and thats all that mattered. I visited two different realities and she was in both, I come to realize one thing, there was nothing I could do to change my fate and I wouldn't change either for the world.

The inevitable fight

2011-07-15T08:33:00.000-07:00

Its constant, The fight against ourselves and the protection we surround ourselves with. The pain process from our imaginary battle to live will take over the movement with in or bone structure preparing us for the end. Its over and there is nothing we can do about it,Unless, Unless we strain or thoughts through the filter of emotional angst and wipe our hands of the failure we once endeavored. It's no longer scary, It's no longer the time to stop, the time is now to remember where you came from to see where you are going. The fluidity of our blood should flow flawless from our ancestry to our future so wrap your faith around your knuckles and charge the evil that holds you down, strike your fist through the heart of the walls that trap you and break free of it claustrophobic dust, set your self free, set your self free from you and you will be surprised of what you learn about yourself. Just remember you can only change your self if you love yourself the way you are.

Family at its finest

2011-07-09T17:14:00.000-07:00

I once had a family that I saw one time a year, I now have a family that I see everyday, although I love them both sometimes I wish they would trade places for a while. Unfortunately, I would say the same about the opposing family and I would make them flip back. After things are the same I would wish upon my families to do so again. What could it be that I want to do this? Is it that they are of a bad family or is it that they are of a good? I am going to let them both know their options and let them decide my fate......I Let them know.......I am unfortunately writing this blog.........ALONE.

It's Time

2011-06-27T11:34:00.000-07:00

Life as we know it has come to an end. We are no longer the young, strong, and the powerful people that we once were......We are parents....And there is nothing more amazing then that. There is one problem with being a parent in this day and age and that problem is us. We were raised in a so called traditional manner of living where morals are more important than feelings and stopping something is more important than trying to figure out why its happening. Our society has grown so fast by finding out why something is happening verses how to stop it i.e. medical and computer technology. Its time, Its time to take a step back from our selves and realize that when someone is hurt or someone is crying that we are not here to stop it but we are here to help that person find out why its happening. We are parents and not just parents to our children but to each other and there is nothing more amazing than that.

On April 10th 2011 at 8:00pm a mini series on the discovery channel premiered called "Human Planet". With a voice over by Mike Rowe which we all know from "Deadliest Catch", amazing writing to compliment the outstanding display of cinematography made this mini series overwhelmingly superb. Now normally I wouldn't write about a mini series on the Discovery channel but this one reached out beyond our world and collapsed in our hands to provide a real life reason why the world is not going to end anytime soon.

I know, I know it sounds pretty silly but if you think about it why would any of us or even GOD want to take away such a beautiful gift such as life from the people who fight and train so hard for the well being of their families. Everyone in there own little way does do this and 90% of the time (not a statistic) it works out amazing but these people, these people have tradition, morals, life, love and most of all respect.

We as a people learn to adapt to the society we have to live in, bottom line, everyone knows and understands that but, We make our surroundings adapt to us: We need more space, well buy a bigger house, I need to get around quicker, well buy a faster car, My clothes don't fit because I've been going out to dinner at the stake house to much, well go out and get new clothes. The families they documented in this mini series didn't have to buy bigger houses or fast cars because they didn't change their surroundings instead they adapted themselves to what was given to them and survived with it and did so in such a way that documentarians took 2 to 4 years documenting their every day lives, THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES, Thats it, nothing special, them going fishing and feeding their family thats it, the only difference is they did it in powerful rapids or deadly seas or with home made spears or on top of 700ft water falls so gators can't eat them....THATS IT...

What are we doing competing against each other for nothing important? Why is it that if you have the most money, fastest car or biggest house you win....WHY?

Look real close to your family and be proud of it. Look real close to yourself and be proud of you. This is it this is what you have so love it, cherish it and make it strong because if the world does end you can at least end together.

Blood runs Black

Passion is the unified sacrifice that is shot through the veins pricked by the thin metallic metal called doubt. Abrasions form across the inner joint bubbling purple, red and blue pain but shadowing the strength forced behind the mentality of nothing. A shoulder raises an arm, A wrist follows its form while five phalanges grab the attention of the uncommon. Uncommon to most it is still aspiring to form the reign once noticed by none now forming the rank of common by all. It is imperative to brake the needle of doubt for failure is just to common.

eye, hate, life,

2010-11-16T15:50:00.000-08:00

Its almost invisible with in the front of your face even though you know its there. It complains when you disrespect yourself but it constantly shows you who you are with in your reflection. If it disappeared so would the rest of the world and there would be no way of getting the world back. The best part is each and everyone of us have our own interpretation through it.

EYE

The only thing stopping us is the pain we assume might come to knowing each other. The only thing stopping us from doing what we want is other peoples pain we could create. The war around us is taught and its all because we think we are right. If doing the right thing is pain we create to others then I want to be wrong.

HATE

Its the only thing pure and natural, For it to end is the only thing that we know of the future. It is taken advantaged of but it takes a blink of an eye to loose it. We can take others but refuse for then others could end at the same time. I am spending mine with yours and we created the most beautiful one. Remember there is only one so take what you know and what you want and do what ever it takes to have one.

LIFE

IT IS WHAT IT IS

2010-10-24T21:18:00.000-07:00

So its official, the feature script is finished, sent to the copyright offices, IAMNOW, is almost finished and the season for Filmmaking in the south is poppin in a few different ways. Im super stoked on a lot of these things that are going on. I think the biggest inspiration is the creativity and passion that my wife portrays and of coarse my daughter who everyday develops more and more of her natural personality which is absolutely amazing. So I just fixed up my VIMEO site which I would love for everyone to check out become a friend and comment or critique if you must or would like. Here is the link http://www.vimeo.com/funkryan

Make sure you check out the my albums section of the Vimeo thats where some old stuff is. anyway Im going to end it there so Im going to go with a fortune I got at the chinese joint in winter park: "Your Mind can make your body rich"

Try not to think of "rich" being money.

Peace everyone

WHat the fish fry freddy

2010-09-20T15:43:00.000-07:00

Well its evident that things are getting hairy. Crime is at its highest, no one can buy a house, drug cartels are running our country and Racism is every where once again. WHAT THE F#*k are you going to do about it? Nothing thats what your going to do....Your going to sit around and soak up a bunch of negative energy and pity like the little pity sponge you are and cry about it until its over then your going to talk about how you "thought they should've done that years ago". Listen people, No one gives a fuck about what your not going to do, people care about what your going to do, its simple. Problem is the people that are going to try to do something are either going to do it for a profit or do it to hurt other people i.e. New Black Panthers, K.K.K. or all the gangs that are selling our kids drugs and making it hard for us as actual patrons to survive. Lets think about what's going on-

First,

We are all complaining about other cultures or religious groups basically telling them that they are wrong as we are being told we are wrong as well. I have an Idea.....Ready!!!!!

Lets not try to control the acts of others for we are only responsible for our selves. In other words-If you disagree with someone else's morals or beliefs simply SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

Second,

Try to do what's best for your surroundings-In other words If you are Drunk DON'T FUCKING DRIVE!!!!! not because we don't want you to get hurt more because I don't want my daughter,wife, friends, family, students, or anyone else who had no choice in your action to get hurt. If you decide to get Drunk then Drive Do us all a favor instead....Take your gun put it to your temple and pull the trigger, It'll help us all out.

Third,

AAAAHHHHH!!! My favorite....Racism....good ole racism.....Why the fuck should anyone be judged of the color of their skin, Its got to be the stupidest thing ever. There is an old saying I want to express: Racism is a state of mind,Prejudice is a fact of life. Let me break it down: Racism is against a whole people as a race Prejudice is against a person or click for instance: If you hate white people as a whole its racism, If you hate rollarbladers or skiers.... Prejudice.

I don't know what you people are thinking, If you make things worse its bound NOT to get better so if anyone reads this hopefully you can comment and pass it on. We need to work together and everyone will succeed, If you want to fight each other then everyone dies. Its up to you.

What you think

2010-06-30T15:10:00.000-07:00

I know many people out there are to busy to worry about other peoples lives. I completely agree with the theory that if you tend to yourself and your family with out complicating anyone else around you then we would probably have less murder, rape, and hate so why not fend for your self right?

SO, on that note I want to break the mold and Im going to wish upon who ever has the time to simply write the answer to the question's I want to ask. I promise it won't be hard questions but, I just want people to know that I want to listen and I would love to learn about people other than my silly ass self. So, lets try this, you ready?

If there was one thing that you would do different with your career what would it be and how would it effect your life as you know it?

O.K. lets see if this works out and don't forget to hit the follow button at the top left to stay tuned for future stuff coming soon, I'll give you a hint: Feature Film,

film festival updates and Job opportunities. So hit the button.

Can't wait to hear from everyone

Unjust frequency

A level of saturation has become the fate of one mans kind. The blunder of all is now personal as I smash my fists to the ground to create organisms destroying angst. I will proceed past you fate and I will look back at you with memories of sorrow laughing briefly to my self as you wither away. It means nothing this settlement, It means nothing this it is, If our hearts drove us to its strength we would all be prosper and prosper would be life for we would religiously worship each other. The dimension seeded is with in the vein while blood seeps with tear drop splatters underneath the fingertips of true experience. The blood that flows livingly is the footsteps in which creates its own path to harmonize well crafted lines shading what shall be shadowed. It is not a job for one to set the goal for other ones self being, It is the job of I and I equals experience.

And it will begin

Up dated information is for people who are interested to be enlightened by. I know for a fact not a lot of people pay attention to what is happening in the world I live in but, I also know that I don't really give a fuck about the people that don't care because if I did I would be wasting my time writing this. Thats why I still write, because of the people that browse through what I have to say sometimes and again its not that you have to pay attention to what I have to say in particular its the fact that you are making the effort to read what somebody not just me but, anybody is writing. Hopefully you will start writing your self and inviting me to your world so I can live vi-curiously through you for a moment. I want to know about you I want to hear what you have to say. On that note I want to up date everything real quick starting with movies. The writing of the feature film Two sides of the moon is going well its still not fully completed but, very close, A short film called "In A Pinch" which was written and directed by myself and shot by Johnny Kosik with the amazing crew such as Jason Boyette, Leo Jarimillo the infamous T.J. Doctor, Jeff Woods and Tim Mather, Shot on super 16mm about 6 years ago was selected in the top ten finals for a short film comedy festival over the last couple day so Im super excited about that, A Television show that was written and Directed by Frank Sapapunto called "Popular" That Jennifer my wife was lead makeup on and I Shot and Lit (D.P.ed I hate saying D.P.)won the excellence in Filmmaking award in the Honolulu Film Festival and is now competing in the hoboken film fest in jersey is a great honor to be apart of. Full on productions gave me the blessing to invite some of my co-workers and friends to join them on a five day show here in Orlando so Im excited to introduce a few of my connections to see how it works out, hopefully the different armies connect and create a massive army so we can work together and succeed together and last but not least I had the pleasure of working with NEP broadcasting for the SAP convention with some great people for five days thanks to my good friend Anthony Ricci, Thanks again Anthony that was a great time. Now one last topic, and one of the most important topics......My family. My family is about to become complete very soon when my baby girl arrives on this earth to finally meet her mother and father. If there is anything in this world that is going to inspire and push the envelop of success with in Jennifer and I's dreams its going to be the princess that will soon come to be. We are very excited to meet you baby Jadelyn and hope its very soon. Well good night everyone and again thanks for your support.

P.S. If you hit the Follow button to the right of this blog you will be able to get up dates strait to your e-mail (I think) and I love comments good or bad so hit me up cool.....peace and god bless

Once up and coming.

SO there are major things going on in the life of the Funks. My beautiful wife is super close to having my baby Girl (Jadelyn Rose) who will be the Boss of this family and everything will be, because she told us to. So watch out anyone thats listening if you need something you might get the infamous "Well Im going to have to ask the Girls first". The second thing that we are working on is a feature film that is in major preproduction but, looks like it will soon be in the next stages of preproduction which is feedback...The motion Picture is the inspiration of my daughter to be, If it wasn't for us committing ourselves to having a baby we probably would not be so focused on our future as Filmmakers. If anyone wants to join us on our adventures (If you are attached to this blog you basically already are) Lets chat and shoot movies baby. Come hang with us here at Cineblogger. WHOO HOO

The one second time stands still

2010-04-22T09:45:00.000-07:00

Its impossible for us not to Die. Once you realize that, a heavy burden will be lifted off the pain you inherit through hard work and inferior demand. Don't limit yourself to settle because in one life and one blink of an eye your dreams will shatter when your heart decides to stop. Remember the person you dreamt of being and be that person, don't let anyone get in your way but also remember you have to produce signs of accomplishment as that person or you will stop yourself. I am a filmmaker thats who I am, Thats who I dreamt I would be and I am that. If you try to stop me I will only get more powerful because I understand that when people doubt me or hate me for who I am that just proves Im doing my job right. With this in my head and the knowledge I have accumulated over the years of trials and tribulations it will only lead to one thing....Success. Its impossible for us not to die, atleast when I do I will have left a path for my children to strengthen and that path is limitless.

WE WON

It is evident that people in our industry are going to state an opinion upon what belief they achieve through their young career. One will say that Canon is the best while the other one is Nikon. One states that Film will die and H.D. will live forever but, what the people in our conversation don't realize is we are stating an opinion related to the sector of life you are in at that time and at that moment. For instants: If you live in Florida, you are a student and you are telling me that because you shot a music video on H.D. that film is going to die I seriously think Im not going to listen, Im going to let you and your blinders run away to your stable. When major Directors and Cinematographers state that if Film Dies then that will be the day they quit making movies I think I'm going to listen and I'm going to support their response by Teaching and shooting Film as much as possible.

Lets do this, Im going to shoot some film in the next couple years if you want to come along then show up if not then thats fine to but, remember one thing:

YOU HAVE TO SEE WHERE SOMETHING CAME FROM TO SEE WHERE ITS GOING

The Path that ends limitless part two

2010-01-01T16:58:00.000-08:00

Growing up in a small town shadowed by big cities, Its easy to think the residents in these small towns are ignorant to what happens in Big-city living, thoughts like this are miss leading as a matter of fact small town people are very over protective of their territories. The summer before I started High school I knew I was going to have to prove something for the next four years so for that whole summer I pushed myself to the limits, beat my self up and skated day and night, I realized I had to mark myself as what I was, Independent. Because of all the skating I was able to loose a lot of weight and I ended up growing about a foot more in height before I started High school. Once I did start high school I realized it's not going to be hard to find myself ,ironically, all I had to do was be myself. There was a gang of skateboarders in our high school, kinda those guys that would walk in late and the teacher wouldn't say anything or the guys that look like their old enough to graduate college not high school, but they where the ones that us as freshmen wanted to hang with. The front men of this crew consisted of Bob who was the thief, Brian who was the crazy one, and Rick who was the chilled out leader type one, they had a lot of followers but, these three were the ride or die guys. This crew called themselves the "balls out posse" I know, I know its kind of a lame name but this was the early 90's and that my friend was a really cool name for back then. The one reason the Balls out posse had followers was simple..... because they could SKATE.

Christmas blessings

I hope everyone has a blessed christmas and a great new year.

Your only killing your self

2009-12-21T07:18:00.000-08:00

To the people of motion imagery, We are killing our selves with the speed of technology. I am asking everyone why I am seeing movies that have potential to be amazing and the means of a good story get murdered by the Rock star theme of just getting it done. You are not at all cooler than you were when you just had a script I promise you. Take your time, shoot the movie right, Use the proper resources and equipment and for god sake pay your crew.

ITS SIMPLE, If you take your time and shoot it right you will be able to present a piece that people can actually watch, and

NO ONE GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU SHOT IT ON, let me repeat that

NO ONE GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU SHOT IT ON

It's going to ruin the face of filmmaking if you can sell a script just because you have a follow-focus that fits a photography camera, You are killing yourself and you don't even know it. If you are able to shoot on cheaper shit and Producer don't have to get a-lot of money that just means your rate will get smaller.

Look I understand you'll do anything to follow your dreams but, Take your time, Learn your craft, Learn from the Veterans that where here way before you and another thing:

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A FILM STUDENT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN SEE IN TO THE FUTURE.

I can tell you this right now. If I wanted to know what's going to change the face of filmmaking I would ask the people that make movie's not watch them.

Cameras

2009-12-06T06:41:00.000-08:00

To shoot Film is like being on top of the world. The noise it makes when it roles through the camera, The shutter passing through your view finder, and best of all the footage when you get it back.

But, when Arri Comes out with Cameras like these then Im ready to open my mind a little.

The path that ends limitless part one

2009-12-01T07:33:00.000-08:00

My whole life I have been following something that refuses to end. I do this out of pure boredom, in other words, I want to live a long time and experience creation through all medium. Growing up in some pretty bad parts in Tampa, I was an ugly little fat kid that got picked on for being who I was. You might think that Im trying to collect the pity water with my pity sponge but, I actually liked it, not for the torture but, for the challenge. I wasn't a very smart kid and I knew it was going to be a struggle no matter what it was I was going to do so I decided to do what ever I wanted, Bottom Line. For two years in Middle school I prepped my self for my future, I disappeared from almost everyone I knew to figure out what it was and then I found it. It was beautiful, I had never seen anything like it, well, I saw a lot of them but, none like this one, It was blue with a bird skull on the bottom of it, tracker trucks and bones wheels, thats right it was my first skateboard. After seeing this board I had realized that this was the answer and I found the answer by basically not asking the question all I had to do was be happy with who I am and never let anyone change that.
