The Beginning
Currently Listening to: Artist- Say Anything
Currently Watching: The Godfather(part 2)
Currently Reading: The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
So I woke up this morning after sleeping in for the first time in approx. 2.5 months, when all of a sudden I had the brilliant idea of strolling down to the internet cafe(since saturday mornings cost less*woot*) and start a blog.
-because i can-
My name is Stephen Aaron Brock. I am 18 years currently occupying this planet, and it's been pretty nice for the most part. On July the 6th, 2007, its will be 19 years. I live in a city of 500,000 souls entitled Tver(Тверь). It is located inside the Russian Federation located within 2 hours by train north from Moscow City(9+ million souls). I am currently studying Russian History/Language, in preparation to become a part-time missionary here specializing in a Film/Photography/Audio ministry operation. My University major is Film, with a minor in Russian Linguistics. I speak English primarily, and a moderate amount of German and Russian. This blog will be primarily written in the English language. I am a son, brother, uncle(of almost 5 little ones), and a royal screw-up. Working with me is a pain sometimes because I have the memory capacity of a gold fish with alzheimer's, and i tend to procrastinate...alot. Although, I make a good omelet and have seen every episode of Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, The Office, and Lost. So that makes me cool....
Whenever I am behind on things--which is most of the time--I tend to bend the truth, or avoid a direct answer, or perhaps simply make an excuse as to why i cannot present my progress at the requested moment. So part of the reasoning for this blog is for my own accountability.
Confessions of the Week:
Fact: I am suppose to have a rough draft finished this weekend of the recent trip to Murmansk to show to my boss in moscow. Fact: I have completed the teaser(3min) of this project as requested. Fact: I have not even started on the 15 min rough draft. Fact: I am glade that I am not able to go to Moscow this weekend since it would mean I would have to admit to this procrastination.
Current happenings:
Aside from the Murmansk promo videos. I am working on getting through The Godfather. I am halfway through the second part, I watched 30 min last night before falling asleep from boredom.
I am looking forward to monday since I will able to start a torrent for the next episode of Heroes, Lost, and The Office.
I am moving out of my home stay on tuesday back to the student dorm. I am looking forward to it, even though i enjoyed my brief time with a host family, I am ready to get back to a more independent life again(and have the conveniences of living downtown =).
Oh yea....I study at tver state university and work in moscow on the weekends for AGAPE medical doing promotional video work.
anyways, im going home now. Ill blog after my move probably.
P.S.
I do not check spelling or proof read. So please no smart-arse comments on grammer! thanks пупсик!
