"It took on Clinton to clean up after the first Bush,
it may take another Clinton to clean up after the second."
-Hillary Clinton on answering a question during the Democratic Debate in California tonight referring to how she would bring about change as President of the United States (when a Bush or Clinton has been in power for over 20 years).

The transformations in your life right now could take an unexpected turn, SHEIMA. Actually, it might be that this bend in the road has already passed, and you are still trying to figure out just how you got here. Perhaps you are working to accept the fact that things are going to be a lot different than the way you originally expected. Don't be thrown: such is life - so go with it.
I hope this bend in the road isn't the one that leads to the land of "Oh Holy Fucking Shit, I Have No Money to Pay My Cable Bill."
"Can't start a party without antifreeze."
-Tony Bourdain on drinking homemade moonshine poured out of a plastic spare gas tank in Crete.
| My most rocking
friend ever, Brian Wood, sent me this link on "How to Throw a Great
Party" as designated by the lovely citizens of the City of Boulder Environmental and Zoning Enforcement Office. |

I am going to share with you, dear reader, the so-called myths of throwing a great party. In my book, these myths = reality. You decide for yourself and let me know how you like to rock out. You can check out the myth vs. reality here.
UNIKFREK'S SUGGESTIONS FOR THROWING A ROCKIN' GOOD PARTY:
|
We need loud music so people will have a good time. |
|
Let's start a live band at 11 p.m. (We need to wait until 11 p.m. because no one goes out before then.) |
|
The outdoors is one big bathroom. |
|
If a lot of people show up, some can just hang outside. |
|
We can be as loud as we want if we invite the neighbors. |
|
A keg is the cheapest way to go - it doesn't matter if some of our friends aren't 21. |
|
If I don't know the people, it's not my fault that they are under 21 and drinking at my house |
|
If the cops come, well just run. |
This is Deep Purple, a band I really have never remembered listening to in my lifetime, but some of you may have. Anyway, I found this video to be pretty rocktastic because it was made way before Adobe After Effects was even created!
>>After Effects was originally created by the Company of Science and Art in Providence, RI, USA. Version 1.0 was released in January 1993. Version 2.1 introduced PowerPC acceleration in 1994. CoSA along with After Effects was then acquired by Aldus corporation in July 1993; this company was then acquired by Adobe in 1994, and with it PageMaker and After Effects. Adobe's first new release of After Effects was version 3.0. <<
So, someone tell me how they did all these effects? Maybe I should know this, but you know, I haven't made time to read the history of motion graphics...is there even a book on this? I bet I have one in my library...
I know a bunch of people are gonna give me mad shit for posting this and asking such dumb questions.
Whateva to yo howeva.
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take apples from the ground that are not as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right person to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Now Men.... Men are like fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it is up to women to stomp the s*%# out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
[I know....this came from an email fwd today. I don't have anything better to post. I'm sick. Fuck off :)]
Show us what inspires you to create.

My therapist.
Or perhaps, Barb, who just walked out the door of my place, telling me I had to spend two hours on an experimental animation tomorrow.
I haven't been in school for years, yet I'm still getting homework.
Wow. That's pretty strange karma.
I was on my way out the door when I heard the breaking news on CNN:
"Heath Ledger found dead in New York City apartment."
whaaaaat?
I hope to God that this is just some silly gruesome mistake.
