the pirates gospel

we're all big bellied whales

reinvention and taking the courageous path

around this time of designing these big sites, i found myself just wanting to get back moving images, and i was lucky because prosumer cameras were finally becoming affordable. at first, i left all the settings on auto because i didn’t know how to adjust everything and instead focused on just making movies. i had a tripod, a boom mic, and a bicycle and i would ride around manhattan doing these short films on different creatives like milton glaser, stefan sagmeister, lawrence weiner – i called it the ‘artist series’ – and by doing so, I learned the craft of filmmaking and the technology along the way. most everything i’ve learned in film or otherwise has been by just diving in and doing it. - hillman curtis

Friendship Categories

I have decided to categorize everyone I know into friends and acquaintances. My friends will include people who can be described as the following:

 Categories

“A Class Act” - maintains their dignity at all times. No drama, no flying off the handle.

“The Real Deal” - follows their own path. Doesn’t worry about what others say. 

“A Stand-Up Guy/Gal” - there for you. Keeps to their word. No flaking out.

“A Straight Shooter” - Honest, no B-S pal. Never blows smoke up your ass.

“The Total Package” - This person has it all together, but is still down to earth. 

My acquaintances will be people who can be described as the following:

“Hot Shot” - Thinks they’re the total package, but they’re not down to earth.

“Ball-Buster” - Thinks they’re being a straight shooter, but they’re just giving you a hard time.

“Brown-Noser” - thinks they’re a stand-up guy/gal, but they’re not doing it from the heart.

“A Drip” - thinks they’re being a class act, but they’re really just BORING.

“A Gadfly” - thinks they’re being the real deal, but the individual path they’re following is designed to annoy other people.
