god’s candy

let’s all just be thankful for a minute

out of mind, in of sight

sometimes i like to go a little nuts.

bonkers you might say.

it’s the best.  i mean come on.  there’s nothing like embracing the madness.  it’s fun magnifying those insanity pepper type thoughts that sometimes swim around up there.  why the eff not?

i spent much of my youth having to restrain myself in this regard.  my parents used to call me “wild.”  i think i sometimes scared them a bit.  they told me that girls didn’t act so wild and crazy like i did.  i realize there were a lot of factors that influenced their belief of my wildness, including, but not limited to:  my parents being first generation immigrants from taiwan; growing up with an older brother; moving and changing schools A LOT; and we musn’t forget – our best friend – SUGAR (a.k.a. “pure evil”).  i will touch on this sugar thing again in another post i think, but right now i will just leave it at pure evil.

now, you might be imagining me tearing through life like a little asian chucky or something.  but it wasn’t so much like that.  i loved being girly and graceful too.  i fell in love with the image of ballerinas before i can even remember.  the lessons started at age 3.  i loved it so much.  i was good.  i learned fast.  my teachers noticed.  my little 3 year old ego was pumped to be leader of the goslings in our Mother Goose recital.

i could be light.

i could be gentle.

i could be poised.

but most importantly, i could walk like a cat because cat paws are like ballet feet.

meow.

see, a part of me will always see some weird benefit like that.  cuz ballet brings us THAT much closer to becoming pure feline.

obviously.

what was my point?  oh right.  well, i think i might be going through a weird spell.  no wait.  it’s not a spell, more like a surge, or a spark.  or an electrical anomaly.  not sure.  regardless, it’s happening and i refuse to fight it.  how all of this energy will present itself, i don’t know, but some of it is bubbling over into silly videos with mah gurl TAY TAY.  we’ll see what else spews out too.  BEWARE!

so come on!  pop a pepper or two, and get weird with me.  or you can just watch me and tay being weird in our second PATTAY video (here’s the first one).

can’t get tired of this

Da Reel

I love performance reels.  You get to go total Frankenstein action on your footage.  In mine you’ll see clips from PASSENGERS, which I am excited to announce will be premiering in Australian theaters in May!  The music portion of the video is a self produced pet project with over 70,000 hits on youtube.  I’m waiting on footage from a Sci Fi Channel film i shot in December, but it ain’t ready yet!  Until then, enjoy this sucker.

cruelty can be adorable

OMG THE TORTURE!!!  But how freaking cute is this???

There is also an article in the New Yorker about the original study led by Stanford University professor, Walter Mischel.  Walter’s three daughters were all part of the study that took place at Stanford’s Bing Nursery School, so as his daughters grew, he would learn about the academic and social progress of the other children from the study.  He found a direct correlation between the kids who couldn’t resist the marshmallow and behavioral problems and low test scores, and continues to follow these now adults.  Pretty neat.

What do you think you would have done?
