I got a job!!! I am the new duplication technician guy at Video Labs. Very exciting, I know. It's better then sending spam e-mails all day, like I did at my old job. In other news: Emily, Shannon and I entered the cat show documentary in this contest for a Cine Golden Eagle. Quite a prestigious award. Well, actually it might not be that prestigious because it's not even really a contest. They give the award to anyone who they feel has displayed cinematic excellence. Whatever that means.


My friend Aaron (the guy who I made the Knowledge is Power video with), Emily and I are going to make a music video for one of my songs. The concept for the video is people communicating through their eyes instead of talking. One girl decides that she doesn't want to talk to anyone, so she invents sunglasses. A group of men chase her to remove the glasses and learn the reason for her secrecy.


Headline from The Onion (think about it for a second and you'll understand):
"African-American neighborhood terrorized by ask murderer

It's so funny how people in the DC area freak out every time it snows. Anywhere north of here, people would hardly notice, but in DC it's a major news event. The local channels have 24 hour coverage, saying the same thing over and over: "OH MY GOD!! TERRIBLE WHITE FLAKES RAIN DOWN UPON US FROM THE HEAVENS!! TAKE COVER!! STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES OR WE'LL ALL BE KILLED!! By the way, the following schools are closed..."

Year of the Monkey

Hurray for the Chineese new year! It is now the year of the monkey. I was born in the year of the monkey, which means that this is my year to succeed!

From my first website...

Stupid web site. I didn't realize that it had all the stupid banner adds screwing up my beautiful design. For whatever reason, when I looked at it on my computer or on Emily's computer, the adds weren't there. But, at work, I checked my page and it looked horrible. Maybe I'll have to actually buy some web space.


In other news: Why do so many people want to be the president. Sure you'll be included in all the history books and maybe some 5 year old with an incredible memory will recite your name along with the rest of the presidents, but who cares? You only have the job for 4 years (8 if you're lucky and less if you get killed) and the whole world criticizes your every decision. Beyond that, they pay is lousy and you get fired if you get blown by the intern under your desk.

First post

I love reading other people's blogs. I've been meaning to start my own for years; now that I'm lazy and basically unemployed (my current job does not count) I have finally gotten around to doing it. So here it goes...

Yesterday Dave and I spent the entire day watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy, because I hadn't seen any of them. That was like the best trilogy I've ever seen. It wouldn't have been that good if they didn't make them all at once. The Matrix went downhill after the first one, but LOTR stayed strong the whole time. It kind of pisses me off that so many movies originate as books. Can't people think of a new story idea? I guess the film execs would rather not gamble with $100 million.
