Well folks, it's been fun. I have too many blogs, I have this blog, two myspace blogs, and I don't keep them updated nearly enough. So, in the interests of keeping myself writing and removing clutter, I've started a totally new blog. So fans of this blog, and god help me there seem to be quite a few of you, just click over there and you'll be able to groove to the same jive you've come to know and love.

Plus I can keep a blog that my real life friends can find. Weirdly that seems important. Actually it's not weird at all. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.

I'll still be patrolling the forums here from time to time. Be excellent.

Howdy folks! I, ah, I really haven't had much interest in blogging the last few days. I mean, the thought's crossed my mind a couple times, but I haven't had that much to say. It's not that there hasn't been a lot going on. There's a lot going on, potentially very grand things are going on. It's just, yanno, I don't want to talk about it just yet. I just want to do things and not talk about things until things are finished anymore. If I fail miserably I'll pick myself up and try again and if I do well you'll know I did well because I shall share my jazz with you.

Speaking of failure, though, Antibaby's been up for a couple weeks now and still hasn't cracked thirty views. Well, the version without the introduction, the first one did better but I didn't feel like an intro added anything to the film at all. I thought I'd emulate old shows like the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock presents and it just sort of fell flat. Of course maybe the kids, they like having a fat guy talk to them before his movie starts, but it just didn't work for me.

I did, however play with the sound a bit and there's a new version of Antibaby with better sound posted now. Of course if you've already seen it you don't have to click again. Unless you totally dug it and want to watch it again. If you haven't seen it yet, well, there you go, watch that mother****er!

Oh, and ah, Fins, that isn't a real baby. I got a doll from Wal-Mart and had my mom make this killer red and black satin baby blanket. It doesn't show with the lighting, though, but if I was a baby I'd totally want to be wrapped up in that thing.

I can't wait until Election Day. Not so much that I'm eager to vote, as it is I want this damned thing to be over. I swear these campaigns have been going on since Reconstruction. Both candidates have been saying the same thing for months now. I knew who I was voting for a month ago, so let's go ahead and wrap this sucker up.

I'm going with Obama, if it matters to you. It doesn't. Other than that I'm following Fins' lead and voting against the incumbent in everything else.

Be excellent.

I really ought to learn to be more patient, huh? *sighs*

I think this here blog has jumped the shark a little bit. Maybe we should have, like, hula girls and astronauts, that would jazz it up a bit, don't you think? What, you got a problem with hula girls and astronauts? I happen to think they're pretty swell, myself. I bet if we had more hula girls and astronauts we wouldn't have such a ****ty economy. That's just my opinion, though.

I'm still learning all the ins and outs of sound editing. I didn't know there were all these different tracks I had to keep track of. Just because I raise the volume in one track doesn't mean every bit of the same section follows suit. Of course I get all gung-ho and I want to show everybody everything as soon as I get it off the camera and onto my computer. Anyhow, I'm always better off when you just sort of drop me off in the woods and let me experiment and figure things out on my own. I've always been more comfortable teaching myself. I'm just that way.

I still can't play a guitar solo, and that bugs me. I also suck at Guitar Hero. What are you gonna do, though?

Yanno sometimes I think having this stream-of-consciousness blog where I broadcast whatever happens to be going on in my head at the time gives too much away. How much do you really need to know about me, when it comes down to it? Then again, that's the very thing that folks seem to like most about me. So, I dunno, I guess I'm just random.

I need to find me a hula girl.

Be excellent.

A Portrait of the Antichrist as a Youth is now live on Youtube. Click the link. Watch the movie. Feel refreshed and jazzed. View again. Tell your friends. Repeat. Thankee.

Be excellent.

*now there's a link. Watch and be jazzed.

Have a grand weekend, folks. The family and I are sequestering ourselves in our ritual of purification for the OU-Texas game. The weekend shall be grand, grand indeed.

On that note, I shall leave you with the Good Reverend. Be excellent.

So I quit my job. It might not turn out to be the best decision I've ever made, all things considered, but Oklahoma's economy is still better than the average so I should be okay. I don't know. I'll be there through the end of this month and after that, I'll do something else. My house and truck are paid for so there are two worries that won't be on my plate, at least for a while.

I'm seriously thinking about going back to school and teaching art at some little school somewhere. I'd be perfectly happy doing that.

The happy part is way more important than the perfect.

Be excellent.

Howdy folks!

That exclamation point looks a little out of place but oh well. We'll just deal with it.

Anyhow, I had to work last night and therefore didn't catch the debate. I did see bits and pieces of it after and I was disappointed to see that Sarah Palin didn't answer any questions like a fembot with a wonky language chip and Joe Biden didn't go off into some weird dreamland tangent comparing Barack Obama to Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of San Juan Hill after crossing the Delaware. Sarah Palin still wore a power suit made of kitten taints, though, I saw that much.

I'll watch the whole debate later on but I won't do a review, because really, who the hell's gonna read that?

I'm filming my uncle's wedding later today. Then I'm going to re edit the Antibaby movie and mess around with the sound a bit and hopefully within another week or so I can get it online. It's actually pretty good, considering that it's only the third thing I've ever shot. I think I've finally got something worth showing people, so that's a win. Even if my family from Nebraska ripped it a little bit.

Until then groove to some Frank Sinatra. Be excellent.

So guess who's team is #1 now. Just take a wild guess.


Just let me bask for a while, I'll inevitably be jazzed through the regular season until the Sooners get their asses handed to them in their bowl game so just let me have my moment, k?

So if everything I've heard and read over the last few weeks, our economy is based on debt. Which is really ****ing stupid, don't you think? I was taught really early on that you can't spend money you don't have. You'd think all these financial people, who are supposed to, yanno, know about finance and what not, would know that too. You should also maybe not buy and sell things that don't exist. I'm just saying.

What I'm talking about are these credit default swaps, which was a kind of insurance that said that if these mortgage bundles that were being sold to investors went bad, the companies selling them would pay a settlement. So, people were buying debt, and buying insurance on that debt that wasn't regulated and not backed by anything, so when when all those mortgages defaulted the whole scheme fell apart.

That's just me talking, though, and I just put things together based on what I hear off NPR and a couple of the news stations, and reading the newspaper a little bit.

I could be completely wrong. I'm wrong a lot.

Now that I've got all that bailout talk out of my system I think I'll be fine. Really. Promise.

Be excellent.

Been kind of a dead week on the blogs, huh?

So there's not a lot to blog about today. I'm itching to get something filmed, everything's really hectic lately so I don't know when I'm going to be able to schedule anything.

It's all a bit of bleh. So I'll leave you with Fat Charlie doing what Fat Charlie does best.

Be excellent.
