I'm BACK! I've been super lazy!

2012-09-10T07:24:00.001-06:00

Alright, this is like 6 months since I've said anything!
I have graduated and I am a semi-free man from school. I am working a job that I am okay with. Not the best deal, but pays my bills!

This summer have been filled with stuff... First I went to San Francisco! It is one of the most AMAZING places I have been so far... It is beautiful and very open minded... Why I say open minded? Because when you are in city center, on the main street there are LGBT flags on every poll. It made me giggle.

San Francisco the biggest China town outside the actual China, pretty impressive. If you ever go to SF and wanna buy souveneers, go buy them in China town. The prices for all the junk is like 50%-75% lower than downtown or by the piers.

What else...? This has been the hottest summer I have experienced my entire life... Average temperature was like +37°... +42°C (98°... 105°F). Too little too much for a boy from Northern country!

Now It's fall and I feel like I am regressing in my knowledge and skills, because I am no more in school.
I have realized that I love learning and I love perfecting my skills.

Radio is doing awesomely great! I got a music store powered by AMAZON and you can buy the best Music on it! :) http://europeansuperhits.com and go to section MUSIC STORE and get the best Musak!

If you are starting school this fall or just continuing, remember, be yourself and don't let anyone make you think you're no good... YOU ARE THE BEST you can be! :)

Till next time,

Hola,
One workmate calls me Mantekilla (Butter in Spanish) because of Butters from South Park. That is not exactly what I wanted to tell you, but this was the first thing that's been kinda cool lately.

I am still working at the HELL DESK (Helpdesk at the college). I had a promising job, but it doesn't seem to work out. Maybe someday I will get a better job. Even better would be a permanent residency, so that I can work wherever.

Last Saturday (February 4th) we finished filming first episode of Wrong Memories (check it out: Facebook - Wrong Memories) and it looks awesome. Now waiting on some people to work faster so that we can continue on with series!

At school everything is usual. Study study study!

I am ready for summer and some warmer weather, even though, we never got the winter. Yes, it's still 40°F = +5°C outside. Not cold, but I want it to be maybe +20°C, I have no idea how much it is in Fahrenheit and I am too lazy to pull up converter. If you really wanna know ask Jared from work, he knows!

Life otherwise is full of sh**. One instance, Zion's bank reported that I had two overdrawn accounts with them worth 497$ total. I haven't had an account with them since August 2010. WTF? Why? I called everyone and talk to couple people who understands law. Apperantly they have sent it to collections and they keep records of accounts only for 6 months. Seriously? So nobody could help. Douche bags! Made me pissed to be sent to collections.

My Tax returns look nice approximately $ 1200, however stupid collections require 500 bucks. so that will end up being 700 for the rest of the bills. Life is all about bills and paying them. Seems, that you live, breathe and eat so that you can spend money. Sounds absurd.

Alright, I must go to my class and learn something new... hopefully interesting.

Hasta la Vista (Vista in latvian means chicken). So Hasta la Chicken.

Bye...

Here's our trailer!

A little slow...

2012-01-26T16:12:00.001-07:00

For an international student the U.S. government has put so many restrictions... I can't work full time while I'm taking my last 8 credits of school at the college... I have to get approval for employment off campus and have to make sure it matches with my major... Hm... It's tough and sometimes boring to work 20 hours a week and taking 8 credits of classes. I'm used to something more busy. I can't wait to graduate that way I can do whatever the hell I want for a whole year. Then... Back to the same old unless something changes - I get a green card, get married, find rich sponsor, get an awesome job that pays for my work visa. :)
So many things... I just have to be excellent and have to show myself to world why I am good at and what I can do best.
Anyway, for now I'm excited to work on Wrong Memories our upcoming WebSeries. http://www.wrongmemories.com

Later,

Last few weeks have been stressful and at the same time happy. I finished working, we are waiting for editors to have trailer ready for the Death Canyon! I cannot wait for the trailer to be out... I saw some parts of it, it's definitely fun and somewhat creepy! :) I will definitely post it when it comes out.

Also, only 4 days till I fly out of Utah (aka Mormonville). Time for real world culture. Lmfao...
I will have a couple of stops before I arrive to Latvia! NYC and Moscow... Two of the biggest cities in the World.

So, shortly that's it!

P.S. Death Canyon will have a special fundraising showing, so anybody is welcome to help us out!

Love,
Hell

Continuing on....

Dear all,

Today was a crazy day! I didn't hear my alarm, so I overslept pretty bad, so I was late for work. It turned out okay by the end of the day.

I am way excited for next week Jun10... I am going to Latvia! Ha! I am so freaking excited!

Officially, the filming of Death Canyon is DONE and I am very excited I got to work with such amazing actors and crew. We had an amazing make-up artists Travis & Whitney Cox. We also had incredible improvisation experts - Megan Rees, Alisa Garcia, Brett Blackham, myself and of course Travis and Whitney Cox. This cast was incredible and fun. We also had our crew which was a huge support and help in EVERY aspect of filming.

We were taking care of pretty well and I am excited to see the final result of our project.

Interview

2011-05-10T11:44:00.000-06:00

Today I had a privilege to be interviewed regarding my project Death Canyon! Honestly the project is going to be so fun and scary.
All I wanted to say is that I got up to 107 followers on Twitter and I and ready to show the people that believe in me that I can do good in the front of the camera as actor and in the front of the camera as director.

Some exciting news!

2011-05-09T14:00:00.001-06:00

I have only 32 days left till I am leaving for LATVIA! If you do not know where Latvia is... Well the best idea would be looking in Google maps.

Only a few days left till we film Death Canyon - the thrilling film about 6 college students who went missing in some ghost town! Stay tuned and know more about it! :)

Thanks guys,

MONDAY

Break

2011-04-19T09:14:00.000-06:00

It is not that exciting for everybody, but for me these are the bestest news ever!!! It is Spring break. No classes anymore.

Now it is time for me to focus on projects such as Death Canyon and possibly new one Wrong Memories.

Death Canyon is a movie about college students that decided to go to abandoned town in Western Utah to find some gold; however, they found something they never wanted to find.

Wrong memories is a possible TV-show/Web series, depending on how it goes. It is about three siblings who's parents were killed when they were young and now after 15 years it comes to collect the rest of the family.

So basically I have a bunch of stuff to do. I am excited to be exhausted from this and get everything done.

P.S. I am going to NY, Moscow and Latvia this Summer! :) Woot!

Help Death Canyon happen!

2011-03-22T01:33:00.001-06:00

Hey,

I am seriously excited about Death Canyon and I cannot wait to film it.
