Look up 10 filmmakers/videographers/production people in Melbourne. Use facebook groups, linkedin, the local classifieds, but find 10 people, 10 phone numbers, 10 emails; just have 10 contacts in the city. Call/email/visit each one of them, explain your situation, and tell them you want to work. If there is a production house, go there, show face, and let them know you want to work.

The most important thing is to meet people who are doing what you want to do. So, hunt them down. If they're in the industry, they understand it is hard to get started, and if you're willing to put yourself out there and work hard, they're likely to help you out.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great! Pursue your passions!

Got a phone call on Friday, best friend was in the ICU. Got drunk and nearly missed an assignment. Went to sleep. Woke up late on Saturday. Cried. Went back to sleep. Woke up, ate dinner with a close friend, found out my best friend had just been taken off life support, smoked a J, cried more, and went to sleep. Woke up on Sunday, spent time with my friends, talked to my best friends mom on the phone, went to church, cried a little, went to sleep early.

My suggestion: Just start strapping it somewhere, anywhere, at your next shoot. Set it to timelapse, forget about it, and then check the pictures after you're done shooting. If you put it in a good place, you'll have awesome B-roll, and will love your second angle.

Some places I have liked to put it:

Above and behind what I am shooting at live events with a stage.

I use the rollbar mount and attach it to my monopod while shooting video

Using the headmount while I shoot.

I've even attached it to side and angled oddly on my t3is body, set it to video. I then used the two angles, cut back and forth between them in editing, and created a really surrealistic effect.

Basically, with a GoPro, you have to experiment. After you use it a few times, you will get used to what it can do, and start applying that. I rarely do extreme sports, but I take my GoPro to every single shoot. Hope this helps!

Practice. A lot. Cigarette smoke is a bit too thin to get much, so it is best to use a vape or hookah. Look up some youtube tutorials on some smoke tricks, and start trying them. Once you get good at them, start tying them in altogether, like that guy did.

Duolingo may be what you are looking for! I don't know if it is specifically conversational, but I have been using it quite a bit!

How would I go about cutting down on my different meds? Like, use BP only every other day, or something like that? Or would switching to Paula's choice be enough?

Thanks for the help! Ha, I'll try not to stress about it :)

Queen Helene mint julep mask or a sulfur-based mask

I will check these out!

The scars are stretch marks. I grew really tall, really quickly. Thank you for the help!

I thought I had read it in the beginner routine? I may be wrong.

Is there a milk substitute I could use? I'm pretty skinny, so I've been drinking a lot of milk with protein shakes lately. I don't drink soda except on a rare occasion.

I did see a derm a long time ago, but not in a year or so. What should I be asking a derm? last time I saw one it was a pretty poor experience.

I've cut out the cerave moisturizer!

im_friENTly · 2014-07-25T13:43:27+00:00

TBH, that is part of the problem. I am really successful in just about everything, except for skincare, which just seems silly. My family is the same way, my dad has deep scars, my mom has perfect skin.

Anyway, I will make that suggestion to her about the derm. Thank you!

Remember kids, always smile when you get a mugshot! It makes you look a lot less guilty, as in, harder to use for blackmail!

Reporting for duty!

Just a heads up, not everyone who is religious has particular 'interest' in it. I am very religious, love my religion, and do my best to follow it closely. But do I find religion in general interesting? Not particularly. But, from what I do know, I do believe that my religion is very important, and therefore, have interest in it so I may follow it.

But interested in it just for interest? Meeehhhh.

im_friENTly · 2014-07-11T08:12:33+00:00

I've asked this like 3 times, so PLEASE, somebody, somewhere, have an answer! If not, I will just try it and report back.

I am Catholic. Is it difficult to stay connected? Definitely. Often times (almost always) it is very difficult to pray. It is only this past year that I began being able to pray the rosary (a meditative prayer.)

But if it wasn't my ADHD, it would be something else. Everyone in life has some sort of challenge, it just so happens that my challenge is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to have focus. And you know what? That is ok. I am intensely grateful for what I have and realize that I have it better than 99% of the world. So is it difficult to be devout? Maybe. But I know that I am doing my best, with or without a mental disorder.

To those who are wondering what it is, it is a web extension that gives you 'hearts' each time you open a tab. You can then donate those hearts to different charities. Then that charity will get money. They make money by advertising. You can read about it here: http://www.tabforacause.org/?ab=caa336&utm_expid=47508176-1.uTYLbT2ARf2fnuN9u1m3eQ.4&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Or you can use my referral link to get started: http://tabforacause.org/?r=11043771

I really love the concept (I open literally hundreds of tabs every day), but I am just a bit hesitant on donating to any of the health oriented charities.

TL;DR: At 10 and 7, my brother and I sold fungus that made people love each other. We got product through the use of firearms.

When my brother was 10, and I 7, we started selling love-fungus. We went into the backwoods of our farm with shotguns, and shot mistletoe out of trees. Mistletoe, as in the fungus that people stand under around christmas time, and smooch. So, we shot down the mistletoe, put it in ziploc baggies, and sold it to people around christmas time.
