Video Camera... I have some wide & varied hobbies. One of them is video editing. This scan is one of my old video cameras. The sad thing is, I haven't flourished this hobby in a while. Is it the fact that I don't care about it anymore? Is it that I am getting older? Is it that I am lazy? Or a combination of all of those things.
When I bought my new computer, I made sure it had a huge amount of processing power and a great video card, and I have never used it. To this day, I use this computer for ... well, this. I need to get myself involved in it again. You don't want to lose the talents that you have worked so hard on. I am sure some of you remember some of the titles that I have been a part of in the production:

Daddy's Little Friend
Chance of a Lifetime
It's Orphanage Time
Kid's News
Power Puff Girls (1&2)
Schmidt Happens
JFK
KFC
Tornado

As I create this list, I am laughing, because some of these videos are hilarious. If I wasn't too embarrassed, I would post one of these movies.... someday (maybe).

Support Our Troops... I am confused. I keep receiving these "Cell Phone For Soldiers" bags and I am completely miffed as to what they are trying to say. It states that their mission is to "help our troops call home." So wait, the troops can't call home unless we donate old cell phones? You're telling me that our troops are out there fighting and they aren't able to make a phone call to talk to loved ones unless there is an old cell phone to do it? Am I just completely misunderstanding the concept or do we really not support our troops as soon as they get out there? Do we need to send them our leftovers too? I certainly hope they are being fed and that they are able to call home. That's all for now.

Change... See this scan? It's 5 pennies... not 1 nickel. Last night, to make a purchase, I used cash. I rarely use cash... but, I did. This is the reason I never use cash. My wallet bulges and bulges until I finally empty my change into a bucket. What good do coins do in a bucket? Nothing. In fact, if anything they loose their value. My bucket is almost full. Time to head to the coinstar where I will empty my bucket, pay the fee and get more cash.... It's a cruel, cruel cycle.
