the journal of Peter John Ross

Overall, still jamming and happy. Much like a chicken nugget, I’m fried on the edges. Although it is the weekend, teaching a lot during the week means there are no days off on the weekend. There’s some part of the Read more…

Big decisions to make. So much going on, that my iPhone is barely keeping up with my schedule. What I really need is an army, a Sonnyboo Army. I’m up to 4 interns right now. I’ve created a whole slew Read more…

One of the things missing from the last 2 years was the desire/motivation to edit. I feel compelled to edit more these days. It may not be the most expedient but I am without a doubt more inspired. The muse Read more…

I feel terrible. I burned myself out and I’m crashing and crispy today. Last night we did a massive shoot for the intro’s to 35 episodes of a new webseries I’m putting together. We went about 45 minutes over the Read more…

So I have even less time than I imagined. Sometimes life puts enormous roadblocks in front of you and you have to decide how to get around them. Every single time I get a little bit ahead, either with health Read more…
