my time in st. george wanes

This is the view of the moon from my bed last night. my window gave me three moons at the same time.




Here is someones lost photo that I found on my walk with my puppy "Nibler"




and for no other reason my puppy looking cute.


Sneezing
and Stretching

holy crazy weather Batman

we had a lightning storm with nearly 1,000 lightning strikes. so I set up my camera and got a few strikes.

cade trying to be too cool playing guitar hero

saw Pee Wee hermen

and thankfully I had a camera.


and then thankfully I got to edit the video.

Enjoy

I hope it works out for him.

enjoying the park

My Puppy's favorite activity: a day at the park with me unleashed.



plus i really like this song.

here is the whole thing.

My Harry Potter night

I got to put together a package for the news on the Harry Potter opening night. It was pretty fun but it made me miss Rachael a bit more. I hope her harry potter night was even more fun.

just some stuff I did

Some video I took of a suspected Bomb inside Albertson's in St. George.



what a day.

Also today this headline made me smile. I gets better with every word.

Two Mexican Midget Wrestlers Killed by Fake Prostitutes

there you have my day and now it is over cause i got to get up early to go film some political protest at 9 am. this will not be as fun as watching a bomb blow up.

my co-workers

This is my boss. his name is Carl Arky he has a pretty good sense of humor. he thinks this is Gangsta.
This is Rachelle (i am not sure how to spell her name correctly). she is the only girl in a production truck full of boys. she is very patient. she also has to deal with the anchors who can be very very childish at times. her job is one that i want.


Trina here is our five o'clock anchor and another producer. she has a very good sense of humor as well and her child is too adorable to not mention. (no pic of child)


Ian Cole is a news/sports reporter for the station he is great at going between the serious world of news to the entertaining world of sports. and he does a good "bro" voice dude.



Our Director Gerri is excellent at what he does and is not afraid to admit when he makes a mistake. he is teaching me a lot about camera work.


Alana Brophy is another anchor (for the 9 pm show) she has a new york accent that she hides a lot of the time but it does leak out once in a while with words like boston and coffee or apperently when she is angry but i have yet to make her that angry yet.
Chance is Alana's counterpart for the 9 show the two of them together are like two 5 year old brother and sisters. it is fun to listen to them bicker at each other.

here is our Graphics girl. if it a picture or words on the screen this girl did it she does a lot. and she likes "Night Rider" the television show a little too much for some strange reason.


Lastly our Weather man Jared this guy complains a lot but he gets his job done and adlibs stuff all show i respect that.

my new best bud

this is a video of my new doggy she is a pug.



I call her Klinger because well 3 reasons

1. I love mash and klinger is a great character who is a crossdresser

2. my dog is a girl but everyone (including me) keeps referring to her as a boy/him so she is kinda like a crossdresser

3. and finally she is very clingy she is currently cuddling up with my toes.

she is very good dog she is house trained and on walks stays right by me and does not bark a lot.

she is kinda winey when left alone but only if she can hear someone and can't see them.

well i hope you enjoyed your introduction to my new buddy.

5 oclock in the AM

my AC is broken and in St. George that can be a freakin killer. it is currently 92 degrees in my room. so as you may well imagine i can not sleep.

I am just lying here annoyed and lonely. I am tired of being lonely. I sit here a lot of nights thinking about whether other people are thinking about me or whether they think of me at all. when you are isolated geographically from a lot of the people your mind can be your worst enemy. planting ideas in itself and filling your thoughts with strange quotas.

it really is difficult to explain but let me just say that I am lonely. It seems to happen mostly on the weekend, but the disgruntled feeling i have towards the crazy heat (that is only going to get worse), my broken AC, my inability to sleep, and other negative thoughts are all combining to a very un-Bryan like "me" at the moment.

or maybe it is very Bryan like and i just only see it at times. If it is I apologize to all those who have to deal with my disgruntled and angry ways.

either way: I need sleep. I am off to jump into a quick cooling shower then try this whole sleep thing again. thankfully I don't have to get up early. wish me luck!

my week so far

This week i got ot film my boss get his blood draw.


I also got to do pet of the week and just today i got to meet and interview this really good and fun artist. she is going up north to do the street chalk festival up at the gateway mall. so if you happen to go the the chalk art festival this friday/saturday try and find her this is the painting she will be recreating at the festival.


tell her i enjoy the reprint she gave me. this is a picture of it.



kinda creepy but i think its beautiful.

start off with something simple

I could explain why its been so long but instead I will just put this up with a promise to blog more often.

my new job

so i have been workin at KCSG for just over two weeks and they have finally let me start doing stuff on my own.

I have done a lot of video for weather, sports and other news stories so i decided to put some up to prove that i really do work.

here is a video that I took for a protest of a road closure now the one hear you will have to forgive the weird audio on the reporter outside the BLM that is a live shot and i had nothing to do with but the audio being sent via satellite was just awful.

"the video is here"


kinda cool is that the video and interviews i shot was requested by KSL. KSL is a larger television station in northern utah. so my work was on two stations the audio on this one is much better.

Video Courtesy of KSL.com

I have been doing lots of video and today i will probably going up to Cedar City to meet and interview Mark Eaton. an ex Utah Jazz basketball player. woot. I can ad another to the tally of famous people i have met.

He is over 7'4" so i might come up to his waist. this should be interesting i will have to stand on a table to meet him.

first week out of school and at work

being graduated feels pretty much the same as not being graduated. I started working at KCSG so far I am just shadowing watching how they do everything. I have been doing most of it for the last few years at the college so it is just me learning how they do it. I am pretty sure mostly I will be doing audio on the live broadcast of the news and being photojournalist for the anchors. so pretty much making the anchors look and sound good.

I have been really busy all week all the way up til Saturday when i got up at 6 am to drive 2 hours both ways to record a protest. i sent the story up to KSL in salt lake for their broadcast as well I don't know if they will use it but they asked for it.

so far work is pretty fun and pretty busy.

so busy that I didn't get to really talk to Rachael until Saturday night. she told me she is planning a few trips with friends. I am happy see is getting to see old friends and visit seattle (if she does get to go) but part of me is a bit jealous, st. George can be so boring sometimes.

I am really looking forward to the cruise we get to go on. i have never even been on a boat before. ever. thinking about that is kinda funny. i have never stepped on a boat before. not that i can remember.

so that is my week pretty fun and lots of new things.

lastly I still have a big portion of the ice cream cake Rachael bought me if anyone wants some i can't eat it all by myself.

My live camera work reel

child hood memories brought to life

i have been searching for pics and news about this film since i heard that is was being filmed. i have read this book over 500 times (and i am not exaggerating i read it once a day for about year when i was 7). i always wanted to know how other saw this relatively short story and now i can share it with other people. i don't care if it is not exactly as i pictured it growing up but it will be nice to have a shared experience like this.

and hearing Arcade Fires "wake up" over this trailer was beyond perfect. i felt that chill i got as a young boy again imagining what my fear and adventure would be come to life.

finally to have spike jonze direct it makes me happy inside he has doen work for beastie boys, daft punk, weezer, and many other bands that shaped the Bryan you know today.

i could say 1000 things about this movie but i will let the preview do it for me.

Where The Wild Things Are - Theatrical Trailer |

i am

Sometimes it takes a moment as simple as riding down the road on the bike and feeling the wind on your face to make you realize you are actually happy. I have been pretty happy lately and have less worries.

I have accepted all things i can't change including how people feel about me.

i have decided to change the things i can like how much time i spend reading.

i was returning from a trip to the gas station and traveling at full speed down the road and suddenly felt the wind and the rest of my senses dulled and i was just enjoying the moment. the world went slow motion and i just felt completely happy.

its been a weird week

so far this week I have

1. forgotten my wallet at home twice
2. lost and found my USB drive
3. worn my underwear inside out a whole day without noticing
4. had a DSC Camera package in my car for 36 hours without even realizing it was in there.
5. walked into a heated argument at work and had to stand there dumbfounded the whole time so i could get the teachers signature

and along side all of this Rachael Visit.

Rachael's visit was a strange one. she talked more about us ntot ending up together than us ending up together and me being a believer in "Self Fulfilling Prophecies" that makes me worry.

it did on the other hand require me to face the idea that me and Rachael could end up not together and subsequently become ok with the idea. i don't like the idea but sometimes there is nothing you can do and all i can do is be like Bryan used to be.

Living my life and letting things fall the way they do. so if I seem a bit different I apologize (sorta) but facing that idea made me realize that I can do no more.

as far as the otehr things this week I feel a week off for spring break will do me some good. i get to go to vegas for a night to visit old friends and then i get to go help the Mickelsons begin the remodel of the restaurant, and hopefully I can get a hair cut from my favorite stylist Becky back here in st. george.

tonight i am off to run audio for an orchestra for the CEC television station. this is something i have never done audio for so wish me luck.

today i treated myself

with one of these:

trying to blog more often

so if you want to hear the station i run here is the link to listen over the interweb thingy.

D-91 Radio

the luxor vegas trip.

for valentine's day Rachael and I went to Vegas for two nights. Vegas is a pretty common trip for us but it is just so close and such a great place to visit.

we stayed at the Luxor hotel and got to stay inside the pyramid. (i personally had no idea that there were even rooms outside of the pyramid but Rachael showed me to second tower so i guess it was an added bonus)

Here is a picture of the view from just outside our room on the inside.










pretty frightening and dizziefying.















here is the view from the other side otherwise known as the outside.

it is hard to tell but the window is slanted. both Rachael and I hit our head on it while trying to see farther down outside the window.









We didn't do much it was a pretty lazy trip to Vegas. lazy trips can be nice.

this is Rachael lying in one of the two beds we had in our room.

we slept on each of them one per night.









Lamby guarded the door some times (or maybe just the last little bit.)

i like this pic it looks like lamby is trying to open the door.












that is a summary of the trip to Vegas. i have noticed that i only have been blogging lately after a trip to see or with Rachael so i need to blog more often sorry i will get on that.

my weekend

It was a usual weekend in Nephi except nothing was usual.

it was Michael, Rachael's brother, and his fiance's wedding so everything had to be perfect. EVERYTHING we spent at least 4 hours hanging drapes yep i said hanging drapes and we could still find imperfections.






i got bored half way through and took pictures of my feet.




Rachael got bored too and took pictures of me testing out my new camera





in return i took a picture or 2 of her making a very typical Rachael face:





in the end the wedding seemed to go ok. everyone seemed to relax shortly afterward and the feeling was nice.

It was a short visit I left on Sunday but before i left Rachael performed an I-health treatment on me i found out i was an Earth which probably means nothing to most folks but means a lot to her and her family. i will learn more about it too.

me and her dad talked about stuff that happened in the past with me and for the first time in a long time i had memories about it.





from here on out it gets reaallly honest so be prepared.

i was lying in bed after my session and i had very distinct memories about the past incidents not just memories but i remembered things like how we (me and the girl when i was young i won't go into details about this) got into the sexual part of the friendship/babysitership side of the relationship. word for word detail. i even remembered how everything felt. i was a little embarrassed because it felt arousing and kind of exciting, but nothing gross just mentally i felt similar things that i was feeling at the original time. it felt good to think about this it made the incident more real, not just a story i tell people to help explain my obsessions. i remembered how she felt how i felt it was a very real experience but it felt good to experience it again. i don't know how to explain it but i feel just a little bit better about the whole experience knowing that i have some control over it even if that control is just the ability to remember it.

i don't expect anyone to understand just know that i feel ok about remembering it. enough of the serious stuff i had a very fun trip up north. me and Rachael had a good chuckle at one of her cousins referring to herself as a "fluffer" on a photo shoot she meant dress fluffer though. hehe

i also got to meet her old kinda friend blaine and i say her actual friend Linlee (i apologize but i have never spelled that name before).

all in all a good weekend in the little town of Nephi
