The post title’s pretty self-explanatory, but I guess I should probably give some sort of an introduction or forward (forewarning?).

I’m Owen Bates. I mostly make movies and write little things, among other stuff I do too infrequently to count. This blog is basically a place where I can put up videos, humor pieces, and musings that I’ve made and written for anyone who wants to see or read them. Perhaps I’ll also post some pictures.

There might be diary-like entries about my personal life, but that probably won’t ever happen; if it does, I’ll try to have it be something exciting and “un-morose”. Besides, a lot of that kind of stuff gets into the reflection pieces, and that’s really much too boring for anyone already.

Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank Edward Appleby for setting up and hosting this blog, as well as the entire Rushmore Academy/Yankee Racers community. Who knew being a Wes fan would pay off?

Anyways, take a look around. If you want to, go tell your friends about this little corner of the internet. Mostly, I just hope that anybody who’s stumbled across this little corner of the internet finds something enjoyable, amusing, or otherwise “worth it.”

Thanks, and have fun!

P.S. Oh, and for those who were wondering: The title comes from the Métro stop in Paris in that banner above. It is serviced by the 13 Line. “Ouen” is related to “Owen,” so hey - golden opportunity, right?
