Baron Von Blakula: March 2009
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. Five Albums That Shaped Me. So, I saw this on Facebook, and I figured it was worth talking about here rather than being another nuisance on that increasingly cluttered site. Redefined how I viewed music. 5 The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium. 4 Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun. After a free screening of The Life Aquatic. 3 Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People. 2 Mastodon - Blood Mountain. 1 Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? Almost made it: Mogwai - Mr&...

Baron Von Blakula: Actually doing
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2009/03/actually-doing.html
Saturday, March 21, 2009. Had some incredible epiphanies tonight. Most people would rather strive towards a goal than actually get there. Wanting. To do happens more than actually doing. We could be told we're great or that we suck, and we'll fall right back down. We cushion ourselves from the acme of success, we're always struggling. I hope the same sense of profundity sticks with me. I can't just write this off in some practical way. This comment has been removed by the author. March 22, 2009 at 8:46 AM.

Baron Von Blakula: July 2008
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. I tend to not pay attention to Sundance as it happens. It hurts too much, knowing I can’t be there. I’ve never been, but I would love to. So, the only film I’d really heard about coming out of Park City was The Wackness. And some movie about a Cuban playing baseball, or something like that. Good reviews and buzz and a blurb on an NPR podcast etched the film in the back of my mind. So, one lazy Saturday morning, I ventured off to the nearest matinee showing. Wednesday, July 23, 2008.

Baron Von Blakula: Top Ten Films of 2008
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2009/02/top-ten-films-2009.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Top Ten Films of 2008. What a powerful film. Maybe it's because I'm young, recently married, and thinking about my own future that this film was so painful for me. Kate cements herself as possibly the best actress working, and Leo finally gets a role that impressed me. I mean, he's coming off the screen at certain points, it's incredible to watch. Sam Mendes has crafted some transcendent cinema. And The Dark Knight. 4 The Dark Knight. Duh, this was just awesome. This was anoth...

Baron Von Blakula: April 2008
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. Wednesday, April 9, 2008. The 5th of April. So April 5th, as I have described it to people, was both the most stressful and the best day ever. Stress doesn't even begin to describe the great feeling that the universe was trying to stop us. I wouldn't be surprised if a big black smoke monster showed up to course-corrected our asses. The projector was a piece of shit. Long story short, we went and bought. Luckily, it was my DVD player, so I know when it's powered off, it will restar...

Baron Von Blakula: What's in store
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2009/01/whats-in-store.html
Thursday, January 15, 2009. 2009 is a very vague year. New president, yeah, of course. 2007 was the year of graduation, 2008 was the year of getting married. This year is blank and unwritten. It's a year without expectation, that's going to carve itself into whatever it is and be defined by that. Promise, yeah, but not the scary kind. When. Sorry, just had an awkward conversation with a coworker. I was in a good headspace, but I guess he wasn't ready for candor and a tinge of mania. Anyway.

Baron Von Blakula: September 2008
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 12, 2008. To be brief, I have not blogged in a long time because I am getting married. I will probably not blog for another three weeks. You understand. In any case, a night of drinking and needing something to not really pay attention to, we decided on Sideways,. A curious film by Alexander Payne. My favorite of Payne's work is his short that concludes Paris Je t'aime. For its incredible honesty and empathy . I haven't watched Sideways. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Baron Von Blakula: December 2008
http://baronvonblakula.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. The shape of things to come. I wonder what we could all achieve if we just focused on it. In a strange confluence of events, being slightly drunk and having just watched Dazed and Confused. Today, I sometimes find myself so scattered that I tend to fall back into vices to compensate, e.g. eating too much, not reading enough, drinking too much, not running. What if I really tried? Why do our minds, or maybe it's just some people, stop focusing on what we want? My mind is screami...
