Call it shameless self promotion or just another announcement. Since I guess there are some of you out there that enjoy my work, I thought you'd like to know that this Friday I'll be on the Montel Williams show with 5 other very talented young people doing many various things. The show's entitled, "Young People Making A Difference". I've been on local San Diego stations a couple of times but nothing national. So I guess this pretty cool. It'll be on at 2pm in the San Diego area but I'm sure the time varies throughout the country. Best wishes to everyone on the site, I'm really impressed with some of new films that have been coming up. It's so great to see. My dream is to just be myself and inspire, and I'll tell you, when I see other people working harder then me, it inspires me in return. Thanks guys. Best wishes and happy holidays. Stay well.

I'll be at school when it plays, but I'm going to try and record it, if my VCR can manage. Best of luck, I hope that you gain some exposure for this, as I think you have real talent and will go far.

We can't stop here, it's bat country!

Congrats JP! Be careful it's not a trap to try and send you to bootcamp though.

That's what I thought it was at first. Just some joke or something. Like I got a girl pregnant and it's a who's the father or something. But I was happily relieved to see the show really was about young people making a difference.

Apparently they saw my website and called me right up. And that was it, I was on my way to New York. That's how most things tend to happen these days though. You try so hard for something and it doesn't come. But when you sit back and forget about it, it does. Weird.

Ok, my VCR didn't work so I murdered it. Having said that, is there any way you can put up a quicktime version of your segement?

that's horrible jeff. good thing you murdered it though. there's nothing worse then a stubborn vcr with an attitude. my school is eating up every bit dignity i have left and showing me off like i'm a puppet, so i'm sure they'll be posting it up on their website very soon. www.guajome.net

and if they don't soon, i'll make a quicktime of it and post it on my website just for you jeff. hope you're well.

Ah much appreciated JP, I'm ready to see you caress that great man's shiny head. Recently, I submitted some stuff to Channel One for their "Student Produced" Week, and the winners get a 10 day trip to LA. So if that works out, we should definitely get together and just talk for once, because I think doing a project with you would be an ideal set-up for surprising things.

We can't stop here, it's bat country!

well then best of luck with the channel one thing. i'm sure you'll rank high up there. you'll have to let me know when you might be gracing the sunny state. i think any collaboration would be amazing.

Uh ok someones got to tell me and I guess JP would be best, what the hell am I missing here? I checked out Jp's site and encountered a kid whose entirely in love with himself. Hey I'm not knocking it I just felt there was some strange "elelphant" in the corner that is being elluded to in the site and even in the posts. Ok he's an artist, and yes thats enough for me to repect him, but what's the deal?

Mcrukker, you have every right to state your opinion, just as I have every right to be myself. The sad part is I actually still let people's comments get to me sometimes and I get disappointed and feel I should change myself and make myself look miserable to accomodate others feelings. The truth is I do like myself, I like a lot of people. I'm also proud of myself and yet disappointed many a time. I wish I did more sometimes and feel I'm the most lonely and pathetic individual around and I should just give up and **** everyone else. But I take a breathe, I relax and remember how wonderful life is. I love it and hate it. And my website is just a little insight into that. I never asked for anything, but when things come, people like to know. So I made a website to accomodate to those wanting to know. Don't feel alone mcrukker, you're not the first to have that opinion of me. What's even worse is I have friends that think that. How do you think that makes me feel? I didn't know it was a crime in the public's eye to enjoy one's life. And this pondering thought has always been plaguing me. Until after I got a couple e-mails from people I don't even know, and say that I'm am inspiration. And that my friend, is worth more then anything.

Self absorbtion is painfull to watch and even harder to read. Stroking your own ego isn't art, just as masterbation isn't making love.

I just thought there was an aspect to your life that made your story "inspirational" but I guess I was mistaken. Sorry if I came off negative, I know how important believing in yourself is in the filmaking process but c'mon man you seem driven by fame.

Tell me about it. I know the feeling, man. Once, I got an email from someone saying that I was an inspiration to them, and it felt nice.

...And then I found out that it was a joke and that they were being sarcastic. So I kicked their ass... Because I'm really really strong.

(sorry. just felt like lightening up the mood somewhat)

well mcrukker, if you think i'm driven by fame, you've got no ****in clue about me. it's shocking how far off you are. hey why not instead of bashing, at least make an attempt to understand me instead of spouting out thoughtless accusations.

that must have been annoying. like if i found all the e-mails i got were from friends at school, i'd be very disappointed. but hey, i've seen your portfolio on the site and it does seem like you work very hard and are probably an inspiration to many.

Its funny how your "inspirational" tone flys out the window when someone hits a little close to home. But anyway what I see in your work is a continued focus on yourself,in that new music video your head takes up the entire frame for most of the video,(even your mom did a biography on you). I just was wondering if there was some sort of reason for the focus or if its just some sort of parental indulgence gone wild. Its just funny to see someone take themselves so damn serious. Even that flash intro on your site focuses on you and not your art. You're funny, very very funny but hey ego, is energy and more power to ya!

nerve strike? obviously you weren't listening to my last post. keep the comments coming though, i'm getting great amusement of your picking apart my life. what's the fascination mcrukker? hey you know what, just for you i'll give you a special on the book just because you seem to be so enthralled with me. what do ya say?

I'll wait for the lifetime movie of the week version. Ok here we go. I thought maybe you had Cancer, or your mom was a hermaphrodite, or maybe your frontal lobe was missing something to explain why your story is so inspirational. I didn’t want to tear into your self absorbed “art” in the fear that I would be misunderstanding the context. But it turns out your just a home-schooled child of overindulgent parents who refuse to cut the cord. This is the best part,

From your website:
By the end of seventh grade, JP had had enough of school and wanted to home school. During eighth grade, he did. And he also collected Beanie Babies with another collector, Phyllis Adrian, a beautiful blonde taxi driver / body builder, who took him on excursions to get the latest, hottest Beanie Babies.

I’m not sure what’s more amusing the words hottest Beanie Babies or the fact you wrote your own biography in the third person.

I'm not even gonna give my opinion on this.....but I think we all know where I stand.

As far as the beannie baby part. I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing.
