Rude Boy

March 9th, 2010

So I’m kinda obsessed with Rihanna’s new song and video for “Rude Boy.” (If you haven’t seen the video yet, you won’t understand.) And I’ve been hearing and seeing it so much, I seriously hear it at least once a day blasting for some young lady’s cell phone. I guess it’s all y’alls new lady anthem or something… Anyway, I’m completely in love with the song now, SO much so, that I was considering just making my own video for it. I mean, that’s what I’m trying to go to school for anyway, so why not get my balls wet now?!

I was planing how and when to shoot the video when I realized, I have SO much extra footage of ladies and fun art and shit from the past year and a half of making videos on this blog, that I was just going to sit down and string something together. And in typical me fashion (and this is how I know I want to be making videos when I grow up), I spent something like 3 hours last night, and stayed up till 6am, gathering all these little shots and editing them into THIS!  If you’re a lady and you’ve been in one of my video before, chances are you in here.

Hope you enjoy!

Blizzadelphia 2010

February 11th, 2010

Philthy Paul here,

IMG_0627Im pretty sure we have hit record snowfall here in Philadelphia.  I recently moved into Center City and today I armed myself with my trustly compact-able  shovel and a car tool and set off into the night.  I encountered many stranded vehicles which i helped out, a cbs news crew, and many downed trees… The streets had minimal traffic, with your occasional taxi or PGW truck with plow.  The only businesses that were open were bars and a few restaurants.  PARC was open serving high society onlooking the penn students having a snowball fight in rittenhouse park.  Mayor Nutter has declared that all government operations closed thursday ( and i believe friday as well ).  Everyone that i saw in the streets were holding plastic cups of alcohol.  This is truly a state of emergency.  The PPA rakes in millions of dollars yet there is no snow removal services in the city.  I helped out a Philadelphia police car stuck in the snow while uncovering my bm-dubew.. My roommate mike is a city firefighter.  I called him and they have been out on assistance calls all night.  They were even called to a house that collapsed on itself.  Where are the plows?  Trees are collapsing from all of the snow falling.

Here is a picture feed of my exploits tonight:



A Word On Blogging While In School

January 27th, 2010

Photo-1575-1-1

As many of you who follow me on Twitter have already been apart of… I have decided to go to, and am currently in, college. Going to college was originally something I planned to do after, “I took a year off and explored myself, and the world.” Well, that year turned into 6, and while I can’t say I explored too much of the world, aside from a few trips to the Jersey Shore as a teenager. I can say that I have landed, quite gleefully and with much surprise to myself, on something I’ve been experimenting endlessly with on this blog over the last year, and that I have now decided to make a focus in my life/career going forward. And, I couldn’t have done it without your help. No, seriously…

The videos I’ve been making for Philthy Blog, and there within the hours of shooting and editing and posting, and the comments and love you have all shown me, have all been so inspiring to me. I believe, truly, that this experience has helped me find an area of art/communicating that I want to envelope myself in. Put quite simply, making these videos and talking with you all visually, telling stories, has made me very happy, and I want to go to school for this, and eventually a career.

What does this mean for Philthy Blog? I have no fucking idea. With school, and working full time, I’m finding it very difficult, if not impossible, to find time enough to even get a drink with my friends, let alone shoot/edit a F1rst Friday video for 8 hours. That said, I probably will have time to do small things now and then, so if your interested, FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER and you’ll be the first to hear all about it. So, until May…

TTLY, Conrad

P.s. I’ve been asked so many time what, “TTLY”, is supposed to mean… It’s supposed to mean, “talk to you later”, or “TTYL”, but I misspelled it for so long that once someone made me realize it, I said fuck it. I like it misspelled… Just one of the reasons I will not be going to school for journalism. :)



Comcast Center 3-D Holiday Spectacular

December 22nd, 2009

The Comcast Center 3-D Holiday Spectacular (which didn’t really seem like it really was 3-D at all… most of the people watching just took off their 3-D glasses halfway through), was at the very least completely fascinating to watch on that huge screen, but at the very best just something free to do if your in a 2 block radius…

To The Top Of City Hall

December 15th, 2009

The other day my friend Alex and I went to the top of City Hall… WHY have I never done this before? It’s so amazing up there, I can’t even explain. Luckily I don’t have to, I took SOOOOOOO many photos.

After the trip to the top (video above is from the elevator ride down), Alex and I started walking around the building. Sneaking up staircases, into weird little old hallways. Took photos of all that too!! Anyway…

See all the photos (40+), full sized and non-translucent on Photobucket HERE.

BTW, have any of you been up there or plan to go soon? Let me know…
