WATER WARS!!!

BEHOLD!!!  Here it is, the official video for Calvary UMYF's Water Wars, and my first real venture into Final Cut.  I quite like this one.  Check it yo.

I want an army of Digeridoos, 50,000 DIGERIDOOS!!!

So here I sit, it's monday night, technically tuesday morning.

  Anyway, I'm only 50 seconds into editing the video from the Water Wars last night.  I'm still figuring out Final Cut, but I tell you the 50 seconds I have are quite the kick ass.  Anyhow, now I'm facing the decision to goto Solomons island with the family tomorrow, or stay home and finish this, it's a war between my personal priorities and that feeling that I should go for the sake of being with my family outside of this house.  OH THE AGONY, I honestly have no idea what to do.  

Other than that, nothing to new is going on.  The guys at Totally Illogical Films have been throwing around ideas, and we have a plan for a photo shoot to help officiate the company, but nothing's been put into action yet.

I'm planning to see Cheech and Chong on Sept 13 at the warner theater, should be a fun time.  While in celebration of Brad turning 17, we're going to have him buy his first R rated ticket to see DEATHRACE on Saturday night... DEATHRACE!!!!  It doesn't even look good, but it doesn't have to be, a movie by the name of Death Race sells itself.  

That is it for tonight, I leave you with a nice song by Flight of the Conchords...

Welcome back Mr Cole

I have returned from work camp, with a roof about 80-90% completed (as other people worked on 4 other houses).  So yeah we accomplished a lot.  I had a good time (minus the restless nights, but what would I be if I didn't stay up late thinking about things? (probably well rested teehee)).  

So yeah, I'm back, I've been listening to Jackson Browne a lot lately... there's just something about his music.  I don't know how to feel about things that go on, and I've felt kinda numb lately, but at the same time not as much... I'm like Andrew Largeman, but probably more stressed (watch Garden State for crying out loud!).  I'm downloading an episode of Scrubs as we speak... It's one that I've been looking for for a long time now.  

We finally got Digital Cable... Which is sweet for my Summer of movies as we now have on demand, and I can watch free movies whenever I want... I think I may take advantage of this tomorrow.  

SPEAKING OF TOMORROW... I got a call from Sam while I was bowling last night and now I'm working the day shift tomorrow instead of the night shift... I'm not sure how to feel about it, seeing as the day shift is often more stressful, which seems to be my minds favorite thing these days.  But hey at least I have a free Saturday night for once, of course I'll probably be doing the same thing I'm doing now, so it's not that exciting.  

Yup I think that's a good update for now...  I get paid tomorrow, so that's more money to the sasha fund... Woo!  This is the one I'm looking at getting. Either in blue or green, I have plenty of time to figure it out.  

Side note... my family thinks that the scene with Steve Carell in Get Smart on the moped encouraged me... but they're wrong... just check this...

HOLY FRICKIN' UPDATE BATMAN...

Same site, but a scooter that looks just like Sasha!  I may now have 200 higher goal in the sasha fund... but 100% worth it!

Hello...

Well as I said before, I'm home, solely because I couldn't get someone to cover for me.  I'm basically running on less sleep than usual, as it always takes me extra time to get adjusted to a new bed, and throw in my restless mind, and you have a recipe for maybe 5 hours of sleep.  I maybe got another half hour on the ride home though, hopefully I won't fall asleep at work.

So I'm DEFFINATLY going to do the moped thing, dad just needs to open his eyes, and realize I can work on my license and have a moped.  Honestly... the nerve of that guy to tell me I can't get a moped, and then tell me I have to walk to work today (in like 100 degree weather), while I don't mind walking when I 1-have my ipod, and 2- the weather's not hot...  both of those aren't happening, might I add the walk usually ranges from 20-30 minutes.  So a moped would get me there in the same time it takes a car.  Seriously, it's really annoying!  Sorry to bog you down with my problems.

Now as much as I plan on working, and could use the money for my moped fund, I wouldn't mind getting a call like I did last week saying they wouldn't need me tonight...  but that's just wishful thinking.  I will say that if given the chance to go home early, I'm totally up for it.

As for work camp, this morning Rusty and I formed the ALL-STAR team when it comes to roofing, I was the wing man, lining up the shingles, and such, and he put the hammer down in the timeliest of fashion.  Rusty and I room together, with the addition of Ban Marshall, we stayed up last night answering questions from my "would you rather...?" book.  My work camp mixes are quite the hit, so much that I need to throw together another one tonight... I'm not sure if I can, but we'll see what happens.  

So here I sit on my mac, as Meat Loaf plays in the background...  I have to admit, I really like his music, but it's pretty depressing at times... especially on Bat Out Of Hell 2.  So it's like good music, but it not the best thing to get stuck in your head.  Yeah that's it for now, maybe I'll throw together another post before I leave tomorrow at 7 AM to head back to work camp.  But in case I don't... goodbye until Friday...

Victory shall be mine...

So I was wrong, I can get a MD Moped Operators Permit... they're like $45.  And it looks like I shouldn't need to take a test or anything... check this out...

Moped Operator Permit: An applicant may obtain a Moped Operator Permit if the applicant is 16 years old, does not possess a valid driver's license issued by Maryland or any other jurisdiction, and provided the applicant's privilege to drive is not revoked, suspended, refused, or canceled in any jurisdiction.

So this could be it, I can afford the permit, and I'm pretty sure I can afford a moped...  The thing is my learners expires on the 6th, and I have doubts that I'll be seeing a big increase driving more frequently.  This would make things SO much easier, I take the back roads, and this gives me a way to get around when my family can't drive me themselves.  This just makes things so much easier on myself, and my parents, they just need to recognize that I can do this and work on my driving when possible.  Seriously MOPED=GOOD IDEA... besides, gas mopeds get good milage.

---

So that's my story about Mopeds I leave for work camp at 3, and need to stop by work at 1 during the shift change to see if anyone can cover for me tomorrow.  If they can't it's no big deal, I have it figured out to get there if I can't get covered, so it's a matter of will I make my dad drive out an hour tomorrow to pick me up or not.  

Yeah, Hair cut picks probably won't happen, which just makes me look lazy because I'm on my mac, and I could just open photobooth, but you know me... so either wait, because I'm sure there'll be work camp pics with my hair in them, so just wait a week.

So incase I don't come home tomorrow to work I'll see you all on Friday night, Enjoy your week.  And to all my friends at Rehobeth, do me a favor and don't get eaten by sharks.

UPDATE... well I couldn't get covered for tomorrow night, so it looks like you'll be getting a post to some degree Monday night...

IMPACT 08 is LIVE

This the chronological video, if I make more, they won't be in order as this is.

ENJOY!

It's like some wretched curse...

Of course, when I finally get the cables to upload video from my camcorder to my computer it works. And I make quite the spiffy video for the UMYF Bonfire, and I put it on my USB card and bring it down stairs (to the only computer with internet) to upload the thing. When of course I can't get it on Youtube because I can't get passed the "Connecting..." part of the Upload process. This happend when I tried to Upload the Super Mario Galaxy Review for the site, and it never stopped, I had to get Danny to upload the video. Well now it's doing it again, and since it worked for Danny, before I'm going to say the problem isn't Youtube, but this Crappy computer we have downstairs. I've tried uploading it on all the Web browsers we have, MSN, Internet Explorer, and Juno, and of course none of them works. Long sotry short, my family either needs to get Mr. Perper over to fix the internet so it connects to my iMac, or we need a new computer down here.
