Just Some Pictures

I’m catching up on edits from non-paid events and such. Things are a little slow for me business-wise right now, but I do have some engagements that are still being edited at the moment.

Going out with Style!

(NOTE) – This blog post by no means attempts to trivialize death. Please don’t misinterpret this poor blogger’s intentions.

Internet Awesomeness

Several Internet memes have really taken off…and have been driven into the ground. But some of them just keep on being funny, like LOLcats, Rickrolling (okay, maybe not funny), and of course…the FAIL Blog (calling Nathaniel Hurst to the blog, please).

Do You Still Believe?

The story of the Beijing Olympics was not the opening ceremonies which featured over 15,000 Chinese performers working perfectly in sync (especially the syncing of lips) and costing over $100,000,000.
It wasn’t the Free Tibet protests, to which the Chinese government reacted aggressively despite their insistence that there would be zones set up for the demonstrations. [...]
