My First Editing Job
Well, my brother needed to do a creative sample for George Wythe College. I filmed it Tuesday and took Wednesday off and had 8 hours of editing to get it good enough. Originally I had done a full 15 min video, but for this decided to cut it down a lot. Here are the highlights and bloopers.
I also switched to using You Tube because the feed and quality are faster and better.
So I guess that means my bro is POPULAR! LOL

The Dark Knight
There are few movies that leave me speechless at the end where I just want to absorb it. This ranks among the honored few. I am constantly stunned at the phenomenal ability of the writer/directors to weave in such profound themes, make it real and have it hit home. It's all subtle but powerful. Many other movies make it campy or trite. The Dark Knight tells the story and lets you glean from it what you want. Everyone goes off about performances. I say bagh! It is the story and the way it's told that makes a movie for me. Given... the acting must be a part of that but it doesn't ever cover for bad writing production. I love it. I will own it.
Heather was creeped out by Joker, who did great. (I really can't think of him as Heath Ledger it was that much different) I thought the Bat bike was going to be a -hey look at my toy thing- but how it comes into being really worked. :D -A MUST SEE.

Do Something Weekday! YAY!
So I took Wednesday off- I needed it. Tuesday I was asked by Nate's wife to tape him for a creative sample to submit for George Wythe College. I happily tromped over and taped him in his various elements.
I knew editing would take a while. hehehe.. about 8 hours. It was fun and the time whent FAST. I belive I will post just some parts later. (with permission of course) I need to take a day to do the hike! wow....

Kitty wants some candy.....
I thought the Cat would have been a better contender in the poll. I did figure 2 would go to the chicken. heh heh heh... Have fun with the new Poll btw. My plan is to put some photo's on later today. *crossing fingers* As long as there's not too many honey do's- I know I need to mow the lawn.
So, I've been tinkering around with the idea of being a Seminary teacher. I know that besides real estate investing teaching is my ideal job--- I think I inhaled too much pixie dust...
From what I know (which is limited) it'll be easy to get certified for it (i.e. less than a year) and will probably pay more than where I'm at now (customer service). Really, I just need to finish getting a degree and I'll get a pay boost where ever I'm at. But I just really like teaching-it's fun. I'll look into it in detail to night so hopefully it won't also delay photo's

Wake UP!
Aerosmith keeps goin' though my head buy just this part.
Wake up kid, its half past your youth
Ain't nothin' really changes but the date
You a grand slammer, but you no Babe Ruth
You gotta learn how to relate
Or you'll be swingin' from the pearly gate
Now you got all the answers, low and behold
You got the right key baby but the wrong key ho, yo
*shrug*

All You Need is a Little Pixy Dust.
I got one of the best complements ever on the 4th of July. Bailey, my wife's niece, said that I was just like one of the grand kids.(meaning Holly's grand kids) Basically she was saying I was like one of the kids.
Suddenly I had flash in my mind a picture of myself wearing a green tunic and shorts with a fairy hanging around. I laughed.
I don't think I'll ever lose the youthful perspective. How that'll work with my own kids I donno... but I thought it was cool. It's sad when adults can't relate to youth. They were one once anyway! Do people turn off their brains during childhood and so when they're adults, and turn them on, they have sprung forth fully formed like Venus from the head of Zeus? OR... Do they turn off their brains and never turn them on so they only see now and themselves?
VOTE! I'm calling for a Vote on that! Leave your vote in the comments!

Sumer Fun
So I did it. I got a bike. A cheep bike.
Wal-Mart Full Suspension mountain bike for $99. Other stores for the same thing was like $150-200. I hate twist shifters and regular tires but this is easily remedied. Special order the trigger shifters, get thorn resistant tires *the ones that are thick- NOT FILLED WITH GOO!!! evil stupid goo....* plus tire protectors (thank you Mr Tuffy!) and Viola! A good decent bike for $200 less (at least).
I'll have to wait 'till tomorrow for the extra stuff but- this will be how I get to work!
Personally I like the idea of just riding around parks and trails at night in the cool fun summer air. Ahhh......
BTW enjoy the longer time for this poll and sorry for not getting it out earlier.
