Shooting with Matt

Shooting with my brother Matt is wrapped for now. Good stuff was said during the conversation. Excerpts will be posted as soon as I am home.

PS- I think we'll be going together to Korea, so that will be fun

FLORIDA!!!!

About to venture down to Florida to visit with family but more specifically my brother. He is an integral part of this doc and I'll be down there to film with him next. So I thought I'd recap our relationship and simplify it to show the kind of love I have for him now.

1) Just only weeks (or a month) after he arrived from Korea, I asked, "when does he go back?"
2) On a family trip to Disney World, I tossed him into a crib that was in the room (no asian was harmed during this stunt)
3) While waiting for the bus, I tossed his eyebrow into a brass door handle. Stitches were required, and he still made it to school
4) I once tossed him from our bunkbeds to the floor (that was quite funny and only a blood nose followed)
5) The running joke of "Your mom!" did not apply, instead it was "your birth mom!"
6) One of my favorite memories- Disney a few year ago, the two of us walking around Around the World in Epcot

Now for the bad stuff
1) He's the only person to know all of my secrets
2) He's the only person to tell me (the older brother) what to do in life
3) He's the only person I'm willing to hear me sing (with exceptions)
4) He's the only person I'd want to do all of the following above with over and over again.

Be thankful for family. Now a few photos.

What is Family?

A new video i made from an old interview about what family is to me.

Did curiosity really kill the cat?

11:40pm Monday night November 9, 2009. Sitting here talking with my brother, Matt, wondering about what Korea is like. He has some memories, but not fully formed ones. He was 18 months old and can remember things like a large office with filing cabinets and a toy horse.. I sometimes envy that. I can't recall a damn thing, although you can't blame me since I was only 5 months old.

I would like to think that a wave of emotions will fall on me when I get off the plane in Seoul. Back in Korea after 25 years, something should be felt. My biggest fear is that nothing will connect. I guess why should it, but there should be something visceral when I land. I want that experience.

Here's to you Matt, this post is in honor of you. At least one of us can remember some distant memory of the motherland.
