HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO (THE STORY OF A SIGN)
Its pretty awesome.
BTW...Never actually made it to Africa. Got all the way to the gate and after about 7 last calls for passengers, everybody showed up. We are going to try again in mid September when everybody stops traveling and gets their butts back in school.
Okay, so...I am making my triumphant return to the blogging world with a post about South Africa. My wife Talie and I are going and if you click on this link right here> www.imagine-if.org you can find out all about it. So here is the deal. I am tagging along with Imagine Foundation to film and take pictures for the marketing material to sell the products and to show how you can help these women's situations. 
Here is where it gets hairy. We have been trying to fly out on standby for the last 8 days. We have been packed for a week now and have made about 4 trips to the airport. Thats right, drove down, parked, lugged all of our baggage, stood in line at the check in counter, and turned around and went right back home. I am now writing this sitting in the Atlanta airport at Gate E3 eagerly awaiting to find out if we will make it on the flight.
So here is some positive thinking:
If you have ever been to Africa, do you have any tips while I am there? Is there anything I should avoid?
Let me know and IF I leave today then I will keep you updated where we have internet access.

I love this guy.
It took me until about half way through to get it.

Has anyone ever told you about a youtube video and said, "Oh dude, just type in ... and just get ready to laugh dude." and when you type it in you get all the way through a 4 1/2 minute long video without laughing just to say to yourself, "Im not sure if thats the video he intended for me to see."?
Just wonder'in.

Freeze Dirt Bag!
I promise this is the last facial hair post for a while.
So here it is...the Hulihee. Thanks for all who voted. I think as a consolation im going to rock the Magnum PI Mustache tomorrow. So tonight, I am off to small group and possibly the gym after that. If I can make it over to see Sammy at Walmart that would be great. Its been a great day as Uncle Hulihee. Most of the feedback has been positive. BJ even said that if it were a little shorter he thinks I could pull it off for real
Thanks again for the votes.

The Hulihee!
It was a close race and there was a three way tie for the victory until the last 15 min before the poles closed.
Here is where everyone weighed in:
Hulihee-7
Chin Curtain-4
Handlebar with chin puff-4
I can tell you that the work has been done and yes, I can pull of the Hulihee. Check back later for pics of me going throughout my day as Uncle Hulihee.

So my wife Talie and I were at Walmart and as we were checking out, the guy ringing me up (broken english, native African) said I look like the guy on tv. Of course my next question was which one, fully expecting someone awesome like Tom Cruise or Luke Wilson. He then said something that neither Talie nor I could make out at first. After closer investigation we realized that he said that I look like the guy from the Cave Man tv show. Now I personally think that my beard is pretty rad and I was really holding out for a Jesus role in our church production this Easter, but after todays planning meeting I realized that they are not going to ask me to play Jesus this year. Now there is no reason after Sammy's (Walmart guy) comment to keep the beard any longer.
Which brings me to this post. I will wear whatever style of facial hair that gets the most votes.
Here are the rules:
1. Voting will last all week and will close next Sunday night (March 16th)
2. I will then wear the most popular style all day on Monday to work and to small group and probably to the gym and maybe back to walmart.
3. You can only vote once
4. The straight up Mustache is not on the list but is fully welcomed in the voting process
Below are the before pictures and even further down are the options/styles
VOTE NOW!!!

So my friend Brian Korosec just sent me this listing under the "free" category at Craigs List Nashville. Click on the image to enlarge it if you have trouble reading it. Thanks Brian
My friend Tremain is promoting his first concert this friday night at Vinyl in Atlanta and I am helping him out with the whole process. The headliner is an amazing artist named Sean McConnell. He has toured smaller venues with just his acoustic guitar at his side but this Friday night he is coming back to Atlanta with his full band.
Listen for the radio spot that will be playing on 92.9 Dave FM this week. More to come about the show.

I truly stumbled upon this today. Even if you're not a graphic designer or a photoshop person, please watch all the way through.
So whenever I am looking for a graphic for a title package or a photo for a design project I always start here.
Yoto Photo
This website searches the world wide web and many strong image and graphic sites for High Resolution images that are free for you to download. It uses the high res parameters so that you dont have to sift through all of the small and medium size images that are too small to do anything with.
You can also search by color which is a great jumping point when you have designers block.

So every year I look forward the Super Bowl. Not because of the awesome games or the wardrobe malfunctions, but for the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. I promise I am very cool even though I watch this awesome gridiron match.
In searching Youtube for clips to send you, I came across this nice little gem. Who the heck is this kid and where are his parents?
Check back for some super bowl commercials.
.
These new Domino's Pizza commercials have got to be my favorite commercials on TV right now.
I love the guy's smile in this first one.
So what would you do with your 30 min?

So with all of this great snow, I decided to go back to my roots and break out the old 35mm film camera and see if I could hang with those guys shooting photos in the digital world. Here are some photos of my lovely wife Talie and our dogs Oscar and Olive
Nikon FM10
Nikon 35~70mm Zoom lens
Fuji 400 speed 35mm film
No Color Correction at all
So here is the latest title package I filmed with my production assistant Brian
Don't make fun of my lame drawing skills in the storyboards.
