Some writers and directors dream of winning a Golden Globe or an Oscar.
I just wanna be on the IMDb top 250…
Oh yeah well, I just wanna be interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air.

Working on it.

What if the outfit you’ll be wearing on the day you die is in your closet right now
Honestly, I wake up every day and at some point it crosses my mind that it could be my last day or someone I love’s last day on earth.
And yet I do not change my behavior. Something must change. Actually it’s me. I need to change. And stop being a bitch.
But not being a bitch when you’re inherently a bitch is pretty difficult.
To all those Pixar moments that have made me who I am.

Pessimists and hating. I hate pessimists.
To a small degree, it pushes my buttons when people say that they’re not pessimistic. “I’m just realistic., that’s all. The world is a bad terrible place.”
Ok, ok, yeah I know. The world really is a hole of scum, a really terrible place. I’m a realist too! But I think that you’re forgetting how much good is in the world as well. How can you not look at inspiring moments that have changed mankind’s history or look at people who have overcome tremendous adversities or even your family and friends who love you and think that in the end, life is bad?
I think that the world probably is 70% bad and only 30% good. With the benefit of the doubt that’s the REALIST’s perspective. But WHY do you focus on the bad? We exist on this earth so we should make the best of it. Our job is to TRY. You can’t try without hope, and you can’t hope without optimism.
If dogs teach humans anything, they teach them about personality and what it means to be human. Our dog Beethoven taught me to be strong-willed, protective, and persistent. Smokey taught me to be gentle-natured, loving, and to be a humble friend. Today we said goodbye again… we’ll miss you Smokey.
Know-It-All
I want to bypass this twenty-something phase where I feel like I know how the world works and replace it with actually knowing how the world works. I have striven to be smarter every day while at the same time keeping my arrogance in check. I am not so naive to think that I am not trapped in a narrow-minded spectrum of intellect, however open and liberated my mind may feel.
Strive.
The semester where everything changed.
This is for the future Jose, who should remember what just an average day was like at this part of your life.

I do love to learn. It’s all I feel like I’m ever doing. It’s really the best you can do in life, is learn. You can’t really do anything right. You can just learn.

We saw him do this live in Durham! It’s a shame it’s an outtake.
Never ever listen to statistics. They don’t apply to you, because you will never give up.
Becoming the luckiest guy in the world
has actually very little to do with luck.
