To Sum It All Up...

2007-07-31T20:17:00.001-06:00

I sent this E-Mail to Joel, and I think it expresses my feelings on Daft Punk quite well:

Dude, I was in the largest HMV in Canada and I couldn't find the Iron and Wine CD I wanted!!! How retarded is that? I ended up buying an embarassing amount of movies though (all great ones, rest assured).

and yeah!!! the show was soooooooooooo killlllerrr!!!!! I've been telling everyone "It was like a religious experience... But without the religion" Which totally sums it up perfectly! I was super close to their mountain of lights, it was CRAZY!!!!!! I actually saw Daft Punk with my own two eyes!!!!

For the last like 15 minutes, I went to the very very back, to the top of the bleachers or whatever, and I would have rather been there the whole show, the view was AMAZING! There was a huge sea of at LEAST 3000 people!!! SO surreal!!! There was this girl standing up there with me, and we started dancing together and it was great!!! SO amazing!

I almost regret going, because any concert I go to after this will immediately be less enjoyable than it could have been. All because of Daft Punk.

I am turning into Ermin Webster.

It's Summertime

2007-07-07T17:28:00.000-06:00

A look around Swift Current.
This is my first try at colour-correcting the finished product. I still think some of the shots are a wee too dark.

Song is "It's Summertime" by The Flaming Lips

Took some of my old videos and threw a bunch a filters and effects at 'em in hopes of achieving a cool look. What do you think?

I followed this tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcWBIcbhMRo

So Today At Work... (Part 2)

2007-06-18T22:25:00.000-06:00

Exposition: When you take someone's money at drive thru, you have to press 'cash', and then it goes off the screen. I was taking an order to the window, and the order was still on the screen.

Me: Hey, have you paid?
Asshole: Of course I've fucking paid! What the fuck do you think I'm sitting here for?
Me: Well I didn't take your money, how do I know?
Asshole: Well of course you've got to fucking pay before you get your fucking food!

*Snatches bag out of my hand*

Me: What's your problem?
Asshole: FUCK YOU!
*Drives away*

The Future

2007-06-13T17:39:00.000-06:00

The Future is an electronic noise experience chronicling the past year of artist Kevin Kirkpatrick. In one year you can find yourself, and realize what's important. You can put it all behind you, and open yourself up to the world and it's infinite possibilities.

How are we defined if not by our past? What prospects are laid before us without the graciousness of the future? This is how we find out who we are, by what we've done and where we're going.

The future is what you make of it. Learn. Experience. Discover.

Coming July 29th, 2007

I didn't know which side to root for.

2007-05-31T18:08:00.001-06:00

Last night I had a dream the entire cast of Heroes was battling two giant robots over control of A&W.

A Stretch.

2007-05-28T21:02:00.001-06:00

Likes: Returning to your bed after getting up and finding it still nice and warm, and falling back to sleep.

Dislikes: Having a workplace that is so unorganized that you don't know if you're working at 7 am or 7 pm.

So Today At Work...

Hilarious Anecdote

2007-05-16T01:05:00.000-06:00

Reference to something seemingly ordinary during my regular day that quickly and uproariously goes astray and turns into something un-ordinary and irregular.

Close with clever witticism and sarcastic insight.

Your new version of Blogger is ready!

I got this message awhile ago, and it's still there. Refusing to leave my sight until I succumb to their wishes. I refuse to! I feel I'm getting along just peachy keen without these new shiny fancy options they have for me. Be gone foul message! Except I can't make it go away, it will continue to be an eyesore. I am just too stubborn and conservative for my own good somedays.

Today I ran into who was the last person I wanted to meet. And by run into I really mean, I didn't make eye contact or acknowledge him in the slightest, but he still managed to anger me to no end. Great. Good self control there.

I also embarassed myself on the phone with a girl, but I'll try and not be too obsessing about it. So far I'm not doing a good job, as that call was made like 7 hours ago.

Christmas was great, I got some super stellar presents. This year it was definately quality over quantity, which suited me just fine. I got some books I've been wanting a LOT, Scene It?, and a shaver. Not too stoked on the shaver situation when I get back to Calgary, 'cause I always made fun of brandon wiebe for owning one.

Highlights of the past coupla days: my uncles friggin DELICIOUS sasuage he made himself. I've never had anything like it, out of this world. Making my little cousin a bunk bed in the middle of the night as a present from Santa, and while doing that dropping a plank of wood on the fish tank and breaking it and having to salvage the fish without waking him up; wow. Watching my grandparents' old 8mm film with the rest of the family. And buying some stellar movies on boxing day; today!

that's all for now. More as this develops.

The Show Must Go On...

2006-11-26T01:23:00.000-06:00

...rocked! The play was great, I enjoyed it very much. Good job y'all! You blew me away. My only wish was wanting to see it again and again and again.

Today (saturday) I hung out with the group, and had a gay old time. We made two couch speed up videos, of which were a metric ton of fun! I've been having a really good time since being here, just loving it. I stayed at the cast party for about four hours and forty minutes longer than I had intended, but I don't think that people minded near as much as I was afraid of (I hope). I was afraid I was gonna give off that vibe like "he's such a loser in calgary that he has to come six hours to go to a party" or some crapola like that. But whatev! I'm told Andrew Martinoski was watching me across the room and doing that thing where he was talking "for" me, and making apparently hilarious remarks! Sweet!
Dillon Riel was the life of the part, as usual. Trying to orchestrate the crowd to sing to Boulevard of Broken Dreams was a definite highlight. Right on.
I got to teach a lot of people the ol' pop and lock, which was rad.

I find that going back like that, EVERYONE suddenly wants to hear your life story. No one really seemed particularly interested in what I wanted to be before I left high school, but now that's all they want to hear about. You're pretty much obligated to have at least a fifteen minute conversation about yourself to EVERYONE.

I'mma wrap this up, I need some sleeping. To reiterate - great play, great time, great friends, not-so-great for wanting to go back to calgary. That last one didn't make sense, but that's ok.

K out!

I know Devon still reads this, at least.

2006-10-14T14:41:00.000-06:00

I've decided this will officially be the blog I post on while in Swift, while keeping Zombie Mayhem seperate, and only post on that while in Calgary. I'm not actually in Swift right now, but I had this epiphany and I just had to announce it. So this still won't be updated for a time. But I will be updated it. Certainly no sooner than November, at least.

Ok bye!

'the haps'

2006-06-08T18:43:00.000-06:00

certainly not in the mood to blog. I have too much homework!

EDIT: I saw this on my feb 6 post

"A recent girl I've taken an interest in is seeming to take an interest in me. "

Who in the world was I talking about? I'm such a loser.

"Keep the change, yah filthy animal."

2006-05-29T22:51:00.000-06:00

Well gang, my last shift is this up-and-coming saturday, and I'm super stoked. I don't know how enthused I am about going to West Bank this summer, but I'm sure I'll have a fun time. At the very least I'll still be able to go canoeing everyday. The school installed some anti-theft walk-through things, and I've never seen such poor quality. These things are clunky and unnecesarily huge. The worst of it is that they emit a super high shriek that it seems not many people can hear, EXCEPT ME. I could never see why people couldn't sign books out anyways, it's in no way an inconvenience. If you were going to be late for a class, you could just tell the teacher for the next class "I was late because I was signing out a book." No big deal!

I'm actually super-excited for the final band and choir performances.

I've also decided on a release date for The Best Of... It's whenever everyone gives me their pictures for my album and my album is complete. Because so far I have a grand total of ZERO.

and to end on that note, farewell!

Update!

2006-05-26T10:27:00.000-06:00

Major breakthrough in the making of The Best Of. I'd have to admit, it was looking pretty bleak. In order to ensure your complete confidence in me, here is the opening to The Best Of. Never mind the 'official' part, this is still liable to change. Especially after I realized that I had accidently omitted some people. By accident, I assure you.

The Official Opening to The Best Of

Never mind the horrible quality, both audio- and video-wise.

This is the only reason I'm excited to live in Calgary next year:

I first went to Denny's, one week ago. Everything at Denny's is the greatest thing ever. The food was super good, it was cheap, there was so much of it, the staff were friendly and it had a great atmosphere to it. Even the view was nice!

My initial experience with Denny's led me to go there three more times that day. I can not wait to go to Denny's every day and spend my student loan there.

You stink

2006-03-12T00:53:00.000-06:00

I'm going to blog about my fabulous day at Gregory Muszkie's house.

The end.

3:19, drinking a 2 litre pepsi that's two thirds finished by now, eating a doughnut in one hand while i'm typing this. a bag of munchies to my left, and tucker max. now i'm going to finally leave this computer and watch wallace and gromit.

THIS IS THE BEST BREAK EVER

Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?

2006-02-06T22:54:00.000-06:00

10 things of recent happenstance that demand noting:

1. The new semester is in full swing, and it's lookin' pretty awesome. Except for info pro 10. I HATE it!!! Don't get me on why I'm taking that class, I don't like to think about it.

2. I auditioned today. I went in saying I wasn't going to hold back because it was my last audition of effing high school! I mucked up a few lines, but I didn't get embarassed at all. I think they liked my reading for the Escape From Nemotex one better.

3. This weekend I went to Calgary for SAIT's open house. And it is the school for me, I swear. I'm willing to do anything to go to that school. Upon telling someone this, they asked if the only way I could get to that school was to lick Mr. Thingelstad's balls, would I? I said yes.

4. I've gotten a whole wack of new movies recently. Some I got at Calgary, one was a super late Christmas present from the Girl of My Dreams, and the other was one I ordered from the Internet. I wish I had like a thousand dollars to spend at the HMV in Calgary, they had the sweetest box sets you could possibly imagine. Every Ed Wood movie. Every Stanly Kubrick movie. Every Alfred Hitchcock movie. The list goes on, baby!

5. A recent girl I've taken an interest in is seeming to take an interest in me. I sound like such a huge loser always talking about girls like this, but it's just the way I am. Hopefully more as this develops.

6. I'm sure CPT would be way better if we didn't have to STORYBOARD. I hate storyboarding.

7. I've got some solid script written for Sorbate and Skagway: Unleashed. It's looking really awesome, I'm really happy with it. For Sorbate and Skagway, I'm planning on just taking pictures with my camera, and printing them out. Imagine doing this ten years ago, it would be super costly.

8. ph34r

9. Ms. Selvig asked me to be the DJ at the drama dance party during regionals. I leaped at the oppurtunity.

10. I also applied at SAIT for machining also. Just because at open house all applications were for free, so I applied in the only other thing I think I could excel at.

That's all for now, kiddies!

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb
