Religion Project

This is the religion project we put together, it is our backup in the event the DVD doesn't work.

group final

This project was an interesting one to do. It wasn't that tough for me to come up with ideas for our comercial or the interview and my group ended up liking some of the ideas I had. This project was easier this time because out schedules corresponded much better for all four of us than it had with my last partner alone. We got together a few different times to do shooting and editing. I'm glad the project is done, not that the class is over, but that I just don't have to worry about it anymore. The video turned out pretty well, and I think our comercial could have been better or had more humor in it, but 30 seconds is really short!

When writing a blog about a movie isn't enough

it doesn't matter that you're the only one reading my blog... or the only one I'm sure is reading my blog. I still write... almost every night... so why wouldn't I want to get a blu-ray video and put my own commentary to the whole thing? Oh yeah, because this is for a class and the other is to irritate people that have sense enough to know that this idea is terrible!

It's not fair!

It's true... I don't know any person, not just parent, in America that hasn't heard this... children never understand that the world isn't fair... But teaching your dog his tricks by making him jealous? Now that's genious! I guess some people consider their dog as a child. It works in some respects. I think I'm still considered a child by those standards... shit.

Final Project

I decided to bitch about my job... again... because I worked all weekend... yeah, all weekend, like 20 hours over the course of 2 days... and I am so tired of hearing, "then why are you even answering the phone if you can't help me?!" Because, if your card is lost or has been stolen, wouldn't you want someone here to cancel the card before someone else finds it or uses it? Yeah, that's what I thought too, people are assholes sometimes and a lot of days I'm so tired of my job I can't do anything else but cry... or have a cow about how stupid and rude people are in this country... But, to end on a up note... I only have to work 6 days over the next 3 weeks.

Must be rough

She's, what? 15, maybe 16 and she gets to be surrounded by, not only men that are gorgeous, but dance amazing too! I don't really like Miley... but those dance moves at the end are sweet!

It's that time again...

Finals... Fuck I Never Actually Learned this Shit. I haven't ever actually felt that way... but I feel how this guy looks... this semester it just seems like everything keeps piling up and pushing me closer to insanity than ever before. I'm working all weekend this weekend again, and 3 of my 6 finals are already due this coming week... not even finals week... which stresses me out and puts a little unneeded pressure... at least that's how I feel about it right now... so between projects at work I'm trying to study for tests and plan for how to finish projects, writing papers and scheduling times I can find sleep... and my planning skills aren't really that good... yeah... this is going to be hell for the next 2 weeks. Look forward to updates on my mood and breakdowns, because there are bound to be many of each.

End of Ze World

Oh please, please, PLEASE let California break off from the US... that would be so sweet! They can go sit out in the middle of nowhere and tell themselves how great they are... haha. So stupid, completely unrealistic, but I loved it! This is nothing like Monty Python... although its said to be comparable... but Monty Python isn't funny, it's stupid, and I really liked this... not comparable... and Australia is still saying WTF mate... yeah, they'll never understand this kind of humor... and I think we should take the nucs away from all other coutries in the world... we may be stupid... but everyone else is stupid AND dangerous... yeah, I'm kidding, that would never work... but you know stuff is bad when the meteor won't even come near us... damn, we're screwed!

Truly an Idiot

Wow, that's all I can say. If it wasn't 'in' it was up. And did she ask for an 'F'? because that's obviously what she got in spelling in school. Education people. It truly IS important. My God I am shocked.

Lame!

What is it about negativity toward other people's work that makes us feel better about ourselves? When I went through this, I was just happy my name wasn't included on the list. Don't get me wrong, my blog probably sucks to most people, but I think I'm funny, and I don't think that my blog sucks that bad. I was just more than happy to know they didn't find it... but I have a couple blogs I would like to nominate for this 'award' hahaha.

Oh Please Please PLEASE let this happen!

http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/05/verizon-alltel-merger-would-form-largest-carrier-in-the-us-by-f/

I use Verizon, it's on my dad's plan, and I have a limit of 500 texts a month. All my friends use Alltel, they have unlimited texting... and when my bill is $27 over due to an extra 270 texts last month, daddy wasn't happy. So if this merger happens at the first of the year it will be a late Christmas present Verizon didn't know they were giving me! So if this happens... my texts will jump from 500 text a month to closer to 1300 where it should be. Just kidding, but not really

This is unbelievable

She thinks she's such a Christian and can say what God's word is. But I'm just sad that it's illegal to kill stupid people today. She is part of a family run cult. I truly believe them when they said she was an abomination... This is sick and wrong. How do people get so messed up like this? I can't imagine the hurt that family is feeling to lose a family member in a war, but then to see, "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" outside the church where the funeral service is taking place? That would be too much. I'm glad the legislation passed, I only wish they would have pushed it further away. And who knows, maybe one day their judgement will come in the form of a 9/11 incident, what goes around, comes around.

Shitty Decorations!

I can't believe they think they will make money on this! Who seriously wants to buy animal shit? I wouldn't be jumping up and down buying them for all my friends! eventually that shit is going to start falling apart and then you just have a shitty mess on your hands... literally... but I guess if they want to try it to help raise some funds for the zoo, to each his own. But the economy is too shitty right now to pay for riendeer shit.

My new best friend!

http://www.picnik.com/

So I found this site through a friend and I've been playing with it most of the weekend. It makes messing with or adding to pictures a breeze! I'd show you some of what I've done, but it doesn't work to send the link, and you're not my friend on facebook... sorry. I've made black and white pictures with bright red or blue accents, I've added weird text, I've put in graphics and pixelated a few pictures... This is a fun site to work with... and as long as it stays free I'm happy with it!

These companies should pay us for such bad products!

These 'ideas' and 'gadgets' are ridiculous and worthless. Technology at it's finest? I think not! Why is anyone dedicating technological resources to this? Go study cancer or something! I realize that's medical, but it ties into technology, or at least they should try to make it... it would be a better use of their time if they did! I'm appalled!

I need this

http://www.petergillham.com/product-line/peter-gillhams-natural-calm.php

I have 9 of the symptoms listed... I think this might help, and at this point, it can't hurt. I'm looking forward to feeling better, and I hope to God it works... this last 3 weeks of getting very little sleep has nearly killed me, I'm irritable and I just want to sleep all the time. It's amazing how we're supposed to balance all kinds of things, but our diets don't compliment those things. I hope I can get this stuff fast, and that it will work!

Cribs

So, I hit a few snags with this video. What with my partner not working with both our schedules and then informing me on Sunday night, 2 nights after it was due, that he wasn't going to let me use 'his work' because he didn't give me a chance to help. Oh well. I got to do my own, and I learned more about editing and myself in this process than I would have otherwise. So it came out alright. I actually really enjoyed shooting this. I liked being on camera, and putting together something that was mildly entertaining... I also learned that I don't like the way I stand or carry myself a lot of the time, and decided it's something I'll work on. I'm happy to have had the extension time to put together my own video, and thankful I have such a great friend that was willing to help me clean my place up for short notice (aka: 5 minutes) shooting. I pretty much took most of the video before I even knew if I could have the extension on the project, all I could do was be prepared and wait for the answer. Drew was really great about helping me shoot this, being flexible with his time and days to get all the shots I wanted at the times I wanted. When I shot the original video on Sunday night I hadn't decorated for Christmas, and when I did my reshoots on Tuesday night I had... so that was an obstacle, but I overcame it pretty well I think. This video process was a lot of fun, with it's speed ups and slow downs... I enjoyed going through my material and really thinking about the show to get a general feel. The music was an obstacle as well. I felt as though I couldn't find music I liked for each of the scenes, I spent hours looking, but still never found exactly what I was looking for. What I have in the video works pretty well, but it's not what I wanted. Oh well. I'm really looking forward to the ad we're doing next. My group members seem to be excited too. It's nice to finally be with a group that appreciates funny ideas and is openminded and inventive enough to roll with a crazy idea instead of making it dull or just plain sarcasm that no one else understands. This should be awesome!

Economie's tanking... where do you turn?

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2008-11-24-daily-joy-websites_N.htm

Now, I know these sites don't actually help anyone's situation. But if they make you smile for 5 minutes a day... that's 5 minutes you wouldn't have felt good or smiled right? It's generally a good idea, but I hate cats! I know that you do... or might... or have wierd feelings that flux... but anyway... I like the idea... and I really love puppies!

Would men really like to get this stuff?

http://www.christmascarnivals.com/christmas-gift-ideas/christmas-gift-ideas-for-men.html

So, I have 3 little brothers ranging in ages from 11 to 19 and a father, obviously, and I have no idea where to begin looking for christmas gifts. They aren't helping a lot either. The boys all asked for gift cards, and my dad gave the usual, save your money response. This site was no help beyond the basket full of sweets idea, dad would love that! So I guess they are getting gift cards, so impersonnal but the boys are no help! I was excited when I stumbled upon this site, and I was sorely disappointed!

Betcha you can't figure out what I'll write in this one!

This says it all. I'm pissed off, people are stupid and immature. This isn't high school. If you can't budget your time better to work with the people you choose to work with so it works okay for both of you... man you've got a long life coming. Telling someone that you want to get a job done and do it together and then not utilizing the time available to both partners is pretty pathetic. You had the resources, you took the video, you didn't give me an option to help. I did what I could with the time you allotted me, and it's not my fault that you are too stupid to figure out that when I say I have one week open and one week handed over the the devil (aka: my boss) I mean serious business. So keep your piss poor video, if you want to act like you're in the 5th grade and cry that i didn't help as much with this video as you think I should, all I have to say is, you didn't stand watching cats, that you're allergic too, for two hours to do the last video. I took one for the team, I guess you're not a team player.
