So. This video is about my day.

I dont have a bunch to say but I’ll give you a little update on the old life. Wednesday I hung out with a friend Hannah. Watched a whole episode of American Idol her. It was good times. Paula Abdul is crazy.
This morning had a great run. I may have ran past your home. On thursday after work I’ll be by Samford track if anyone wants to come.
Had a meeting. No fun
Had a meeting. Some fun
Had a meeting. hmmmm
Re-edited something…not so much
Had a headache that start this morning. Sucks

You know I’m feeling a lot better. Tomorrow is Thursday it’s going to be a great. Going to give the staff a surprise tomorrow.

Wiggans

So here I am sitting in the room wiggans turned off the Internet. So I’m on the phone let me tell you about some kids. I met Ashley who feels like the mom of the family and tons if obligations. I spoke with christina who told me her adoption story. I’ll tell you about Trent he’s a good just young kid doesn’t want to be treated like a kid. Jordan who is thought of as the leader but doesn’t always want to be it. I had a short talk with Parker who I think gets it. Good times with these kids. They are all getting back to the rooms for lights out. Red head kid just came in the room. Someone farted. Four kids just came in after a run so it smells like a locker room. Ah to room with kids. Ok I’m out

Edit
Statement of the day “y’all geet in there and start screwing”

What a day.

Not really. Today on the menu I had creamy tomato soup. The blender blew up a little bit. It seems I need an immersion blender. yeah I had to look that up. Its one of these. Anyway now I know. This happened to me the last time I made butternut squash soup. They recommended it then also. Any way good soup good times. Then I sat down and watched Tropic Thunder. yes I did laugh. Tom Cruise I didnt even know that. I guess now I know.

They have been playing marathons all weekend right now im watching a Dirty Job marathon. What a great job. Not so much the host but the crew. They look like they have a lot of fun. I guess they could hate it. I realized this the other day. I don’t know celebrities. I don’t even know reality tv starts. You watch enough shows and you think you do. You think Aaron Sorkin is a nice guy John luke Picard is really the leader of a starship and I know what the Hippies who won the Amazing race is like. It’s weird I don’t know why I think about that stuff I just do. I think this all came out of Tropic thunder. I guess thats not the other day. They were dudes playing dudes playing other dudes. Robert Downey Jr. Character actually sounded sane. I’m at the end of the line. the thoughts are gone. going to see Button with a friend this week. looking forward to that. ok back at it.

Last class

drew — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:06:34 +0000

I know many of you have had to endure as I complained about going to class and etc. Well Tomorrow is the last class and I’m ready for it to be over. I took last friday off so that I could write a final paper that is due thursday. A buddy of mine Andy (sorry andy until update I can’t link you) is editing it for me. Its good to have friends like that. Since Tv has started to bore me I have taken to watching netflix movies on instant watch. Mostly documentaries. Real good times. In fact in just a few minutes I will retire to my bed to take in a good time at the movies.

I’ve approached Taylor to see if he would be intersted in working on a project with me this year. Something to do in the off time. I told him not to humor me in it if he wasn’t interested. We will see how that goes. I think he’ll be honest with me. What else. On a side note something else I would like to work on this year. I bought the url changed by one the other day for this reason. I know that many of my friends and friends of friends sponsor kids with World Vision or Compassion or by some smaller outfit well I’d like to tell those stories. What I would like to do is create a place where we can tell those stories you know. Even if it’s not sponsorship. I think many of us have changed the life of one person or have been changed by one person. There is something about the power of one on one interactions. We’ll see how that goes. I guess I would need to set that up soon. Last class and a new day. Maybe I should study? Naw Signing off. oh and here is your monday moment of zen.

i’M not dead

drewfrancis — Sat, 10 May 2008 14:24:29 +0000

I’m not dead just have been going and going and going. We are building up to send off teams so my mind has been on other things. I do though have some projects that im working on that I will be asking some of you for some help. So the lawn is mowed there is a banana nut muffin in my stomach and 30 rock on the tv before I head to the office. Oh this is something new. I had to do a devotional the other day. I’m always really nervous when I do them because many times I kinda babble. I never study as much as I should and I end up reading three chapters and saying “mmm isnt that good” Well this time I shortened the amount of verses and actually studied. I felt pretty good about it. Good times. I saw Lion for lambs. Robert Redford is an actors actor. Very good. When he said “Rome is Burning” he is real good. I wonder if Im a flaming liberal. I think that’s the term. Hmmm. Dont know what my bosses would think of that. I need to think about that. Life has been grand. Spring is in the air. Ok this was just a short note

good times

If you dont have a group of friends that you feel safe around get one. It will change your life.

The A-team

drewfrancis — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 00:22:23 +0000

Ok folks this is a shout out to this team. We’ll start from left to right. That’s my friend Nick. Nick and I have disagreements all the time but most of the time its because I’m trying to understand what he’s talking about. He’s real smart and knows more about video than most video guys who know video. A trait that he likes to talk about is that he directs like he’s directing choir. Next to him is Ben. Ben I started calling granola. He’s not really like that I just like to call him that because he likes to hike and hang out outside. he’s one of those straight funny guys or a least he makes me laugh. Next to him is Andy. Andy… I can never really put my finger on it. He has quirky sense about him. He loves texting. Wait let me repeat he loves texting. Next to him is Jarrod. Jarrod is married and I would say is the papa of the actors. Not just the oldest but I would say a really cool uncle. He used to be a youth minister. Its good to have him on the other side. Next up is Shorty. Shorty is a good guy who tries really hard to be a good guy and ends up doing it. Just a second ago he brought us water and one of those flavor things. He’s just a nice guy. Next to him Is Jo Lynn. I always say she is older but she’s not she’s just more mature than I am. From the moment she started with us she has been a joy to be around…even when she gets on me. Next is me so I got nothing to say but aint he sexy. Hey ladies I love it when you ask me out. i dont look down on you. Ok after me is Stacie. Stacie just got a nose ring and it looks great. Stacie is a full throttle kind of girl. She loves big. She is one of those girls that I would say is just cool. It maybe because of the nose ring. Kurtis is the guy next to me. I would call him a big teddy bear. When you hear big laughter somewhere on tour its probably him. He’s they guy you want sitting at your table because you know you’ll be having a good time. Infront of Kurtis is Lonnie or Lauren. Lonnie shows on her face when she’s thinking. She can go from 0 to 100 in two seconds. Lonnie makes me nervous because she’s cool so you dont want to act stupid around her. Next to lonnie is a girl named Whitney. Whitney and I have a running joke about how much we don’t like each other or that we have serious problems with each other. Its all an act. Whitney has been in love with me for so long. Ok folks Im just kidding. Whitney is really cool. I’ve enjoyed getting to know her. Like Andy she loves something She loves working out. I mean she loves working out. Behind Whitney is Jason. He has been my technical savior. I rarely have to worry about if something is not done. I don’t know about most of the things that he does. We have become good friends I think. I trust him and I hope he trusts me. Next to Jason is Geoffrey. Geoffrey is a guy I had always wanted him to work for us. From the first time when he did a short film for us I wanted him to work for us. I always like what he does on stage call me crazy. Ok I’ve wanted to get to her. Infront of him is a girl named Kayla is a Joy to be around. No matter what she says she is a pick. Whoever makes a move on Kayla will not be disappointed. There are girls that I meet that I say. Wow you’re great. Well she is one of them. So guys you better be pretty good. Next to Kayla is ball of energy John. John goes a hundred miles a minute. He also goes above and beyond. He’s that guy that fills in the gaps. When you are wondering who did that i twas probably him. Behind him is Matt. He’s our FOH sound guy. He has a quirky personality about him. I like him. He cares about what he is doing and never really gets that upset and that’s what I like about him. Ok folks we are almost done. Next to Matt is Ross. Ross is our monitor engineer. So he has seen the program from back stage most of tour. He’s a good kid who is finding his way. I like it when people come to work for us and find a new passion or they get energized about an old one. Check out his blog from my blogroll. Last but not least is my friend Jared. Jared is our resident abercrombie dude. Loves people and what he is doing. I hope he finds his way overseas. He has a been a joy to work with and I look forward getting to know the kid more. Ok well that’s the team. A great group of young people that gave up their weekends to do what we are doing right now. They have shown me how to serve and I would not do it with any other team. Getting back in it with these guys is great. A little update. Whitnety just came up and we played the same thing. She says why arent you working and I say you will feel bad when you find out what I’m doing . She went away laughing. Fun times.
