zoo york
going to nyc tomorrow. generally when i'm down there i get tons of ideas for movies/just stuff to record. i think i need to adjust to my mindset, and just things flow and stop being so stressed out always.today was a day that i honestly never thought would come, something happened today and i could not stop, and as much of a negative it is, it still has its positive sides. in response to the post below, it take take breaking up with someone again to realize alot of things but at the same time i realize now i know in a year we're back to square one and no matter how many miles seperate us you got my heart.man i should write a movie based off of this...sorry if that seemed really fragmented ,it just kinda all hit me at once. ya know?ill maybe post pics from ny or something here. idk
progress!
we worked on jimmys dreamgirl for the first time in a year!it felt goodmore updates as they come!
time to play catch up
seeing no one reads this but chris, well i don't post the link for it everywhere anymore i can basically communicate to him via this. or to anyone else who reads this in general.anyways seeing its august, the worst month of the year every year i guess we should get talking about whats going on in the life and times of jackishaggard....well we can brush up on key subjects. so lets do it!
1) projects: well i wanted to work on jimmys dreamgirl this summer but its not happening at all. the most filming i've done this summer has just been filming kc skating and giving him the footage. i had an idea for another autolux video but thats on hold for now... so who knows
2) college: it only took me 2 years of taking non film classes to realize that i should have stuck to film in the first place. i guess thats partly why i did stay here, but i cant say i want to work at the ice rink my whole life. i need to get out of here in january, i like cant take it here on so many levels. not graduating from acc im fine with mostly because ive taken no classes that are really relevant to a major/if i had a major right now it would be english and who wants to be an english teacher. well not me atleast. anyhoot after actually looking at schools im going to apply to suny purchase, its close to nyc, not in the middle of nowhere and about 5 hours from ex girlfriends (plus ill prob get accepted) (oswego you can count out i can tell you that) my safety net is boston and neia because im already accepted there but if i go there i'm a freshman and all my suny credits are wasted parents money. so im thinking no. after getting into ithaca and going there for a day i realized its not a school for me, the whole middle of nowhere thing did nothing for me plus it was like saratoga. no thanks. although thats old news.
those are the only things i guess ill post. another summer has gone by and for once i think ive learned some lessons this summer. maybe it did take breaking up with someone to realize alot of things around me but its so werid how time passes by and you somehow find yourself in the same positions you were in 2 years ago. i think we all seem to get that sense of urgency that we all got to over come a certain period in your life and just walk away from it for good. its almost like you hit that cross roads to where you've finally matured don't want to be a kid anymore. maybe i am over thinking all of this but it's time to move on from everything i know. i think ill use a quote from gabe saporta and good ole midtown "fuck what you know"
its time to let go and its time to take over.
wish me luck.
august
its always the worst month of the yearno movie progress on anything which is okay considering i should be taking my time looking at places to go to college not in the 518. i might have found a winner... ill keep you updated on 'where in the world will nick end up!"

dream
last night i had a dream that would make a sweet movie, its kinda on the dramatic side but i think it would be a winner. im writing down all my ideas now! wish me luck, if i get a script going ill let you know!
