You want to know me. But you can’t. I don’t know me. I’m a shapeshifter – constantly changing to adapt vicariously through others. I live in the awkward moment. That moment you show your true self – when the wall comes down. Because all the other times are meaningless. Apathetic. Uneventful. I’m fearless - destined to make you laugh, cry, and even sometimes bored. Not because I have to, but because I want to. I’m chaos -- because we are only capable of seeing the beautiful through the ugly. For every time I’ve had success, I’ve failed fifty times. I’ve made poor decisions. I’ve disappointed. I’ve lied. I constantly live in the past, wondering how I can change the future. I’m inspired – by you, and those more talented than me. I’m someone you will never be.

Movies I Want to See Now (Not Later)

1. Inception - Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and directed by Christopher Nolan. It was like someone asked, “What does Brandon Smith want to see in a movie?” And then they made it.

2. Robin Hood - Starring Russell Crowe, and directed by Ridley Scott. This has a lot of live up to, as Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood is an all time classic to me.

3. The Green Zone - It’s been confirmed that there will be no more Bourne movies made by Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass. That’s fine, because we have The Green Zone, which is pretty much the same thing, and I’m ok with that.

4. Ironman 2 - Robert Downy Jr is the shit. Enough said.

5. Alice in Wonderland - Here’s one that I will be able to see now, because it comes out today. To my surprise, it’s also getting decent reviews, not that I judge a movie by reviews (ok, sometimes I do, unless it’s Land of the Lost, which I think got shit on by everyone and deserves a second look.)

Doing Things the R/GA Way - BusinessWeek »

“You have to embrace that randomness and realize that people do things in a swirl. You can’t expect them to be funneled down a nice neat path.” “You have to design your experiences to be flexible—and that’s one of the biggest impediments to the traditional advertising world—that’s the way they think.”

EPIC BEARD MAN - THE DOCUMENTARY

Some of you might have seen the video of, what I think is this old guy (though this old guy seems 10x crazier), fighting a younger man on a bus.

Well folks, here is a documentary of this man. Let me be the first to say that this guy is EPIC. Unbelievable. Seriously, you will not regret watching this. Possibly the greatest thing I’ve ever watched. You can view part 2 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRkeSjn5Dv8

Super interesting talk about gaming, facebook and people - a little long, but worth it. I love how he see ‘beyond the technology’ - sees the inherent human need for gameplay and the psychological undertones for the way we consume technology today.

I’m not sure about the “authenticity” thing though.

I do like the picture of the future he paints towards the end - not for the fact that he says our lives will turn into a series of games - but for the possibilities that lie ahead of us. Also, the concept of metadata as an inspiration to be a better person - fascinating.

This is pretty awesome. I’m not sure how real, or how possible it is. But none the less, it could totally change movie theater interaction.
