I don't write much on here - I guess because I don't really know anyone personally on this site.
So I'll just write to fuckin' write.

Life is good. Still editing at Digital FX here in Baton Rouge. Going to be working on the new Avid Symphony very soon, all the while a new studio will be built in our existing parking lot, as well...

(Again, I'm sure no one reads my blogs, but whatever. If you do happen upon this, hope you enjoy - and feel free to let me know anything - I'm a glutton for attention!)


Several years ago when Rolling Stone magazine listed the 500 greatest albums of all time, they had the good sense to place Rum Sodomy and the Lash by The Pogues at...

Aaron, a co-worker of mine at Digital FX (he is our absolutely brilliant 3D animator and all-around reservoir of information on just about any subject), today, told me that today is the first day of the rest of my life. And, you know I have to agree with him - although I guess technically it could have been last year about this time when I...

According to the Christian calendar we have entered into a new year, and in said wake arises a slew of high-profile athletic matches (i.e. "the Bowls") as well as entertainment awards (Oscars, Golden Globes, ten best lists, etc.). Now everyone knows my feelings about sports (actually it's not really the sports match in and of itself that sends me into a murderous rage - it's...

How things change in a year's passing. Last year, my top-of-the-list home entertainment provider as well as former employer, and haven for all-around useless French Quarter dregs, Tower Records was rebounding from the square-to-the-jaw punch of Hurricane Katrina, espcially being that the Virgin, the primary source of competition in the immediate market of home entertainment, had been sent packing. Now, one year later, I walked...

Something that I have been meaning to do for a while (actually, it really hit home when I was doing the shoot with Dan Rather) is get a still camera and document some of the more interesting shoots that I go on. Finally, I got my mind straight and borrowed my Mom's old 35mm film camera (by choice - I'm old-school and I like the...

I did a job in New Orleans this past Saturday that probably alot of poeple in my profession would love to have been a part of - I ran teleprompter for Dan Rather. He was in town doing a story on the people affected in the aftermath of Katrina and Rita. We shot down in the lower 9th Ward just over the canal near where...

Been busy as hell of late, although things might be slowing down a tad thankfully.
Been working on filling my new iPod with the remaining CDs in my collection that wouldn't fit on my previous one (right now I am ripping this Tony Joe White box set I just got in the mail - great stuff). I'm nearing the end and I still haven't filled...

So I just got myself an 80 gig iPod to replace my little 30 gig. The 30 did it's job but I only managed to cram around 8,600 songs into it - and needless to say I needed WAY more than that.
When I went to go buy the 80, the salesman tried to steer me toward a Nano or a 30 to which I...

It was a year ago this past Saturday that I came to Baton Rouge from New Orleans to avoid any unpleasantries from a certain Category 5 Hurricane called Katrina; and only expecting to spend a week or so here too. Well, here it is exactly one year later and I am still here. I know my Mom likes having me around (I never did make...
