Animusic-Pipe Dream

From the first Animusic DVD. Pipe Dream has been voted one of the 50 greatest animation projects ever (by 3D World magazine). A group of percussion instruments perform music by way of metal balls that fly out from pipes.

I feel like I've wasted my life... this is what I'm sure I'm called to do

.. or not.

Ok, you heard this analogy here first. Here is something I came up with off the top of my head when talking to my friend about getting his car towed. "Here's what you should have done: Tell the tow truck driver that he has no right to tow your car, even though it was parked illegally. First of all, you have put thousands of dollars worth of fines, tickets, taxes, charges and other fees that go with cars. This money has gone back to the local and federal government. In addition, you have had lots of work done on your car which supports local businesses. You were taxed for the charges that were incurred by having your car repaired or maintained, which again went to federal or local taxes. That car of yours has driven you to work, church, and businesses. It has provided you with transportation that contributes in a great way to the national economy. Not only that, but you have put GAS into that car of yours! You were charged taxes for that gas as well! That car that is being towed has contributed GREATLY to the American economy! It has DEEP ROOTS in the American soil and deserves the right to stay where it is. Your car should be given amnesty because of it's contribution and sacrifice to this country. It shouldn't be towed, even though it was parked illegally." Spread this around, be sure to link back here.

Could you ever forgive me? Could you ever cast my past into The sea of forgetfullness Where riptides pull away my sins of the flesh Deep undercurrents destroy and suffocate all the evil I have done High waves crash my sins upon the rock of God where they are shattered into a million little jagged pieces This sea Stretches forever into the distance As far as East is from West I feel my faults could fill this ocean I see the beautiful, blue water Tainted As that which I cast off of me Is cast into the ocean At the bottom of the sea Lies a graveyard of broken chains Many of them the same Many of them broken many times Only to be picked up again Then cast back into the sea My soul stinks of salt water My lips are parched and cracked I know you are tired of the ocean You are weary from the trip to the sea How many times must I cast these things away You ask Must I beat a path to the ocean for as long as I live? We met And I brought the sea

*dusts off the cobwebs* I'm still alive!

By the way, I did an interview with KVEC the day we arrived. Much of what we went through on the way out was described on the interview. Click here: http://savefile.com/files/1224794

Danielle and I are now safetly at the Berk's home. The apartment is safe. Rita didn't damage Houston. I'll explain everything later. Tonight we're going to rest and decide when we want to setup the apartment tomorrow.

Yesterday I said to Danielle: "This April I'm going to give you the best wedding anniversary you've ever had!" I'm not proud of it, but that's what I said. If you don't get it, Danielle and I got married this April. So, silliness.

It's been too long since I've posted something. Danielle is still working with Jill. Things are going pretty well although she feels frustrating at times. I haven't gotten fired from my job either, so that's good. Actually, we recently purchased two new workstations and two new digital cameras. We also purchased a DVD duplicator/printer, camera bags, mics, and lots of other stuff. I'll be using this to train people and produce more videos. I am nervous about getting the process started, though. I need to get my volunteer resources more organized so I know who I have available and when. I also need to know what they know so I can train them appropriatley. It looks like they will be moving our offices to the new building sometime in October. Either that or they'll find some office space close by the church. That will be exciting stuff. The next few weeks or so I need to focus on finishing a video for the men's ministry and focus on preparing for this new equipment and these new people. I know how to work with interns and train, but working with volunteers will be alot different. Clay came to visit us Monday and Tuesday. He had a layover from his flight to Florida from California so he had his travel person extend the layover. We had a great time. We went to the gym, got some food and a bunch of fun stuff. It was great to see Clay and to hear that he's doing well. Danielle and I are doing really really well. I feel like I'm doing a good job of not working late and she's doing a great job of supporting me. At Action House I would work really long days, but I can't afford to do that anymore now that I'm married. I'm totally ok with that because I'd rather be spending time with her, anyway. We have developed some good friendships with people in Houston, too. We're going to have dinner with Jennifer and her fiance Justin tonight. We've started hanging out with them in Friday nights now. We also see Jon alot. We hang out with him about every week or every other week. He's been kind of busy latley but I know we'll hang with him soon. Work is going pretty well. I produced seven videos for the youth group during this month. Seven videos! It's been crazy. Things will slow down for me, though. I have to make them slow down. I have to focus on other aspects of the Media department besides producing videos for the youth group. It doesn't help that they are going to start a weekend service as well now. That means they will have services on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. When we have the new computers and stuff I totally plan on training people to produce videos for youth at least twice a month. We'll pump more out as more people and equipment become available. Danielle and I have joined 24 hours fitness gyms. We started last week and we're doing really well. We work out Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. When we signed up I asked to work with a personal trainer since I don't know what I'm doing. After our first sessions my arms hurt for two days. It was nuts. I know that I have to start where I am and I'll get better as time goes on. I'm eating a 1,600 calorie diet and doing great at it. I really am glad that I'm able to adapt so easily to things without too much fuss. That's about it for now.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8565629/ New building! We can only go up from here!

It has been while since I've written anything and alot has happened. Danielle and I are doing really well. We will celebrate our 3 month anniversary in two days! My God how the time flys! Last night we had dinner with Paul and Jennifer from church. They were asking us how things were going and what problems we've run into. It was a really good feeling to tell them that we were doing really well and there hasn't been much that's come up. Of course there are the occasional flare ups or head butts, but it's been nothing we can't talk about later or resolve somehow. Danielle really is more amazing than I could have ever imagined. She is so much more than I deserve. I really appreciate how she is patient with me and belives in me so strongly. I really feel like I can do anything because of her. The best thing is that we have a good time together. Yesterday, after dinner, we walked around the nearby mall. While we were in some cooking store we started dancing to the music together. It was awesome. A really awesome thing happened recently. Danielle got a job! She'll work this Thursday and Friday to get herself acquainted, then she'll work Monday - Wednesday. She'll be working for a lady by the name of Jill Reno (http://www.jillrenocollection.com). Jill is a jewler who designs for mostly celebrities. The amazing thing is she is a Christian and hires Christian women to work for her! I've talked with her on the phone and she's an cool lady. It's the perfect blend of creativity and work for Danielle. We might even end up doing product photography for her. Work is going very well. I'm in the process of putting together a proposal for an equipment order. It's my first big purchase so I'm a little nervous. Danielle and I are still living in the apartment, but would like to get a townhome or condo sometime. I don't think it's a good idea to rent, personally. It's a waste of money. More later.

Will blog soon. Dreading the 800+ mile trip! AHH! It'll be good.

So much has happened! I'm married, still living in Texas and... married! I'll explain.. I flew out to California on April 13th. Danielle and Mom greeted me at the airport. Danielle was wearing these awesome very "Los Angeles" glasses and looked amazing. I was so nervous coming off the plane, but I was also so excited to see her. I was really glad Mom was able to drive us so we could spend some time together. I knew the next couple of days were going to be nuts. The next day we met up with Danielle's Dad. He took us in his van and drove us all around the Central Coast doing this that and the other. We got our marriage license, talked with the photographer, had lunch with him and met with Chris. I'm sure we did other things, but that's what I remember. After we met with Chris for our pre-marital counsling (which went very well), we headed off to Mom's house for dinner with everyone. Danielle's whole family was there, Clay (my best man) showed up and we had a great time. Just as Clay and Latecia (our friend who Danielle stayed with and co-ordinated the wedding) showed up Clay and I took of to the bachelor party. I hung out with my groomsmen, Jeff, Chris, Justin, and Clay at Jeff's house. We played poker and had a great time. Everyone arrived home safetly and it was totally fun. The 15th we arrived at Camp San Luis to setup for the wedding. This was the most stressful day. Thankfully we had Action House interns and staff there to help us out. There must have been at least 20 people there from Action House to help us. Danielle's whole family was there, my Mom helped, the Berk's show up and Justin helped out as well. We spent the afternoon setting up and moving tables and chairs. We then re-setup and moved them all again and again until we got it right. We place napkins, cups, plates, silverware, candles and a whole lot more as well. Finally, we moved to the chapel. A smaller number of people helped in the chapel, which was good since it would have been chaos with everyone. Danielle did an amazing job setting up the chapel. She arranged the candles in such a way that blew my socks off (and everyone at the wedding, too). We finished just in time for Chris to arrive for rehersal. Chris was my youth pastor from back in the day. I also want to mention that Latecia was amazing through the whole process. She was so kind and understanding as all the craziness was going on. She did such an amazing job. The rehersal went very well. Everyone was really patient and it went smoothly My Dad and Becki showed up all the way from Santa Maria and I really appreciated that. It was great to see all my groomsmen there and to hang out with them. After the rehersal we all went to Player's Restaurant in Atascadero for the rehersal dinner. Danielle and I didn't show up until a little later because we had some transportation situations at the camp. When we did arrive everyone gave us a warm welcome. Danielle didn't feel very well after such a stressful day so we got her out of there pretty quickly. Before we left, Danielle's parents gave us some presents. They gave me a picture frame so we could put wedding pictures in my office. Danielle's Grandmother gave Danielle her wedding ring set from when she was married. Danielle was so suprised and it was really touching. Her Grandmother was so sweet. I made sure we thanked everyone for coming out to help. One last thing about the 15th, Glen at Player's totally hooked us up. We had the rehersal dinner and he gave us free pitchers of soda. He even laid out cheese plates and extras we didn't even ask for! Not only that, but he gave us an amazing rate for the food at the wedding. Glen really treated us well. The next day was the wedding. I'll write about that tomorrow. Until then, everything is going very well. We are getting settled still and I think it's going well. I'm so glad and blessed to have met Danielle. I'm glad I'll be spending the rest of my life falling futher in love with her. More later.

Will post tomorrow (05/06/05)

Now that I'm thinking about it

I was just reading over an old post. Here's an quick work update: I have completed the following videos for the church: Volunteer Video 1 Volunteer Video 2 Kid's Life Chef Animation LSM Opener/Countdown Love Languages Video Koinonia Love Languages video I have shot these videos and am waiting to edit them: Angel Food Ministry Outreach Men's Ministry Graduation I went on the Joel Osteen tour to the following cities: Dallas, Texas Charolette, North Carolina I will not be going on any more tours at this point. I had a meeting last week about the current state of "In House Media". In that metting we decided that I needed to start equipping volunteers to help out. I am currently looking at buying 5 editing stations, 3 new cameras and all the software/equipment that goes along with that. It might cost around $30,000 depending on a few choices. This is an AWESOME thing because it will start the ball rolling in teaching volunteers and duplicating myself. I found a honeymoon for Danielle and I. We will be going on a cruise from Long Beach, to Catalina, to Ensenada, then back to Long Beach. This is a great thing because on the cruise we can do everything or nothing. Today we had a ministry fair at the church and they were showing three of the videos I finished. It was such a weird feeling to see the videos playing all over the room. I'm working with the Portico media team right now. Mike is my main guy for that. He and Harold did a shoot on Saturday for me and that allowed me to move into my new apartment. It was a great feeling that I could send these guys out to do a shoot. Great feeling.
