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.
I know, I know, its been a long time but i come bearing gifts. My friend Brian Merritt told me about this website that is pretty stinking awesome.
imeem is an online community where millions of fans and artists discover new music, videos, and photos, and share their tastes with friends. (I might have just copied and pasted that from the website)
Here is the skinny--You can listen to specific songs, music videos, or playlists by users in really good quality in its entirety.
What this means for is that I can listen to music that I didnt have to buy and If I like it I can click the download button and it sends me to itunes.
It also means that when I am sitting in a creative meeting and we all want to listen to a song we are thinking of using, we can listen to the entire song instead of a random 30sec preview.
It is completely LEGAL! Most record labels have signed on with this website for the exposure aspect alone. Check it out and enjoy.
Many more posts to come

So I separated my shoulder the day after thanksgiving playing flag football. Still really hurts. I wish I was 18 years old again because I would probably be up and running around.
This may be the start of a quarter life crisis.
Maybe I'll go get x-rays on it tonight...
This morning I was driving into work and very much like every morning I went to change lanes to let a more "urgent" driver pass on my left. As I turned my directional on and began to drift over into the lane to my right, I spot, out of the corner of my eye, a giant mini van. I think we have all had those types of situations and your reaction was probably a lot like mine. It wasn't until about a mile down the road when it hit me. Incoherent images of a life lost flashed through my head and lead me to giving thanks to God that I didn’t have to leave this world, this life, my wife because of some freak lane-changing catastrophe.
How long does it take for us to turn our thanks to God?
I started thinking this morning how our prayer life and our thanksgiving our so tightly woven. If I were praying for safety, than I think my immediate reaction would have been thanks. How often do we pray that God would help us with a financial situation and we accept that $100 check in the mail from the tax commissioner’s mistake as mere coincidence? Or how about your prayers that work would "just get better", and you completely miss the new person who just got hired that will change your outlook on why you are at work in the first place.
Do I think God gets glory by doing things that go unnoticed? Yes. I also think that he becomes so much bigger in YOUR life and the lives around you when you are super sensitive to how God is answering your prayers. And after those prayers are answered, making the biggest deal out of him for doing it.
This is pretty awesome. I had never seen this until this morning and it has made Sunday better already. Check out the Voltron reference. Enjoy.
So while on my trip through Orlando, I stopped by the school I went to study film, Full Sail. They have made a ton of improvements to what was already a pretty stellar facility. One of the not so great improvements is a gift shop. In fact, if you take a tour of the school, the tour ends at the gift shop. Kind of like every ride at Disney or the Georgia Aquarium. Weird. Anyway, they sell these slammin' Full Sail Jerseys. I almost bought one but they didn't have my size.
Check out the school at www.fullsail.com.
