A Toast To Taylor and Courtney...

I never got to make a toast at the Taylor and Courtney wedding. Though I had one prepared. I didn't want it to go to waste i guess so I typed it out so I could give it....through my blog i guess. So if I had given some sort of a toast or speech, it would have gone something like this....and just for Taylor... it's in Helvetica...

I have known Taylor for only about 4 years. Not terribly long in terms of a friendship, but the relationship we have developed over those short years has made a lasting impression that will echo through out my life. I consider him my best friend and maybe the best friend I have ever had. I love him.

However, that is nothing compared to the friendship and love I have seen in his and Courtney’s relationship. I think it might be safe to say that I, above everyone else, have had the privilege of seeing their relationship grow the most. I can’t precisely remember when I met courtney or how our relationship grew but I came to love her as quickly as Taylor. Living with Taylor for the past years there have been many times where I have been the 3rd wheel in our room as we all watch a movie, a TV show, eat dinner, or play games. Needless to say I have been with Courtney and Taylor quite a bit and never in my whole life have I seen such a wonderful, godly, and inspiring relationship.

I have gone to church with them and seen there passion for the Lord. I have watched them selflessly help with many events and organizations that benefit the poor and the poor in spirit. I have had them pray over me and bless me with encouragement. I have seen them map out their lives in order to live it to God’s will. I have witnesses their capacity for love and seen it played out in their actions and words.

I don’t know if I will ever see a love more powerful than theirs, but I can only hope that mine might equal, even if only, just a fraction of what they have. If I could achieve even a portion of what they have I know I would be happy the rest of my life. They are the love that inspires me. They are the love I want to model my own relationships after.

Though I lament relinquishing him to his new roommate, I know I wouldn’t have it any other way. Courtney is who he is supposed to be with. No question. I would wish them the best of luck, but I know they won’t need it. They have God, a blessed relationship, and each other and that is worth all the luck you could ever imagine.

I have no advice to give because anything I could ever say about this subject will never be as beautiful, accurate, or eloquent as the words written by Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes always perseveres. Love never fails.”

I love you Taylor and Courtney Walling.

With All the Love I Can Give,

The Longest Weekend...

It has been a week since I have adorned anything upon this blog. This past week was pretty busy. I filmed on monday and that went alright. I'm not very happy with my outcome because I wrote the script in haste and its not very good. So we will see how it turns out. I don't even know what I did this past week.... I just know that today was a long day. I was the director of photography for a film from 10 til 5 and then an actor in another from 5 til 10. Whew. Tough stuff.

The acting was great fun. I got to dress up in a ridiculous superhero outfit...very tight spandex. The story was I'm with my girlfriend and she takes me to go meet her dad and it turns out its my nemesis... Dr. Nefarious! So then we have this great like mystery men slash Dr. Horrible type dinner and stuff and it was alot of fun. It too from 5 to 10 when it should have taken 5 til 8. It was very short but me and the other Jeremy kept making stuff up and laughing every take. So it took along time. Also the script didn't make sense so we rewrote it...I came up with a twist ending! YAY me! haha.

After that we went and got slurpees at the 7/11 that DOESN'T sell gas....but i have forgiven it for the slurpees. Also because i bought Monsters VS. Aliens from the redbox outside. Seven bucks baby!

I have 2 papers and a project due on tuesday. However, i have to help filming tomorrow and then go gander at a location for another shoot AND then go to a concert...that part will be fun. But it kinda leaves me no time to edit. Because i have to go to my internship from 9 to 5 monday! woo! looks like late night editing for me!

I will be so happy when these next 3 days are over. After tuesday I do not have to make another film. So thats kinda sad actually but on the plus side we don't have to go to class on thursday afternoons any more. So thats free! WOO! Now we focus on our big project in groups!

Have a good night. I think I might sleepy sleep now.

By The Powers Vested In Me...

I caught david blogging on my computer so I thought it

was as good of a time as any to do an update.

If you were wondering yes, I put that cufflink on so I could show it to you and yes, I got very teary eyed at the

wedding and i cried a bit. What of it?!

It was romantic and beautiful and I will not apologize for

my actions!

ugh I gotta film tomorrow! goodnight!

My Weekend and Near Future...

Kyle Turman: Friend, Lover, Graphic Designer....

This post goes out to Kyle Turman! Last night we were talking and he told me he was bored earlier so he whipped up something for me in like 5 minutes. Just for no reason and out of the blue!

So now you can see my new logo banner deal at the top that Kyle made for me!

He is a beautiful man. Thanks buddy! I can't wait to come back to OC!

My Buddy Buster...

Hey great news every one! I start next week at my internship at the creative advertising department of Overture Films! Thats exciting! I am really looking forward to it. Thanks for all the prayers.

Also Tuesday a film that I acted in showed. I was really flattered because the teacher singled me out in front of the whole class and out of the 5 films showed and said he "always enjoys my performances." Which I was really flattered and surprised me because I have only really acted in one or two other films so far, while other people seem to be in a lot more. So that really made me happy.

Other news?

Tonight was awesome. I got to hang out a bit with none other than Tony Hale or as all of you might know him as Buster Bluth. It was awesome. He told us a bit about how he got into the acting biz and told us some fun stories and such. I had him sign my Arrested Development disc.

Here is me chillin' with good ol' Buster.

Yeah, so you can start being jealous whenever you want.

Hope everyone is having a good time back home! See you soon!
