...or "our trip to new York" has finale been approved. I like the way it came out. It was a lot of fun to do. But I wish I would have shot more sound bits. When I was shooting I was mostly thinking of getting good shots, and neglected the idea of perhaps telling a story with narration or soundbits. Perhaps narration could be added in the future, with some minor recutting. Regardless, I mainly made this video for my family and friends...Nothing serious, just a fun video, I mean, it was my vacation afterall. Enjoy...

browsing around the internet, i found a Marienhof Quiz. I got all the answers correct. pretty pathetic i think. they should turn college classes into soap opras. I finaly uploaded "big Apples" (or trip to NYC) und is now being verified by google.

...since i have made a post. first of all, Germany lost the world Cup... they did not manage to beat the italians, but at least made it to 3rd place. I still got my hair cut. i am not sure if i like it or not. but everyone around me seams to like it. Last week, I bought a new canopy for my moms boat. it matches perfectly with the boat. I also bought a fish eye lense. always wanted one, and now i have one. i have adaptor rings where i can fit it on my 35mm or my video camera. it takes great pix.
I have been boating alot. vollyball class is still fun, even though my body is sore constantly. thank god that we have a hot-tub to relax in. i also finished the video from our trip to NYC. ill post it soon... what else is new...? sheila and i are going to germany next summer. May 14-28th to be exact...
bengers video has had 267 hits as of yesterday... that surpasses the hindenburgers current hit count.

today is going to be an exciting game. Italy vs. Germany. I know it is going to be a close match. italy is a tough team. in a way I want germany to loose, because if they make it to the finaly and they win the world cup, i am going to shave my head. I have not defined "shaved" yet, but it will not be in its tradisonal meaning. my nice and short. a buzzz cut with about 2 to 3 inches left on my head. on the other hand, i am kinda looking forward to shaving my head, but i am nervouse obout it, because i have made it known to everyone already, so it is pretty much expected of me if germany happens to become world soccer chapions.
excuse my disrecard of propper spelling and gramer when writting my blogs
i just typ and don't bother ready my entrie till after i click submit.

...of this show. I have been producing this cooking for the last 2 years and it seams like there is no end. we started shooting the first two seasons in the fall of 2004. it was great, sponsors donated food, cabinets, stove, sink, preety much everything that you need to build a kitchen inside a TV studio. after the first 26 shows have been shot, they have to be edited. I had to experience the joy of editing 26 cooking shows by november. you would think that that would be the end of that. far from it. next thing was that johnny wanted to make and marked a DVD from his program. producing a cooking show like this is a full time job, year around. that would be fine and dandy if that would be the only project i would have to work on. but since my department consists of a skeleton crew and a couple of interns, it can get pretty overwelming and frustrating. the efford is paying off though. last fall, we pulled the cabinets back out of storage and reassembled the kitchen in our studio to shoot 13 more shows. this set of shows came out alot better than the first set. New the show has been picked up by some mayor markets in Texas. I am proud of that, but we pretty much commited to produce more shows now. In september, the show should be distributed nation wide through PBS. But now I am busy dublicating and producing promotonal material for the program and the DVD. I can't hear that song anymore (paying my dues blues, from the Killer Tracks music Library) off coarse, everyone has to be happy. I don't know how many photographs we took. how many times johnny changed his mind about the picture he wants on the cover. Then I misspelled Cheese on the artwork for the DVD cover. Luckly I noticed that when Discmakers sent me the Proofs. (Setup charge down the drain) Now we have 1000 DVD's that we are trieng to sell. My boss does not like the quality of the "web quality video" we have on the website. I told him that i would resample the clip from 400k to 800k. well the frustration that prompted me to rant on the show was to discover that there is no visual difference between the 400k and the 800k clip.

just like all the othe myspace loosers, i decided to do a face lift my myspace space. it was simple. really that is all i have to say about that.
CTC bought me a new I-mac that i wave been waiting for for the last 4 weeks. now it is on campus, but i can't set it up yet, because they need to add it to the inventory. what a pain in the ass. I really need to get started on this project, but i refuse to use my personal computer to do work related stuff. just like work does not like it if i use work stuff for personal use. i guess i have to set up the i-mac tomorrow. it is going to take like 4 hours to install final cut studio, photoshop, and stuff.
chris is back. he spend 6 month in saudi to defened our freedom. yesterday i took a personal day off from work, so we could watch the world cup (germany equador 3:0) it was a great time. this weekend, sheila is off, so we are going to visit chris in san antonio
chris has a new apartment, and he wants to buy a new TV. he wants me to set it all up so we can watch worldcup on saturday.

...or maybe not. I have been working on the video from our trip to new york. I made alot of progress, and i like how its comming together. Ther is something missing though. I realized that i apear in only one shot. and i dont have many sound bits at all. so the video is going to be just a series of montages with great music. this is not going to be the bast thing i have been working on, but it will still be fun to watch.
Chris is going to be in town on tuesday. we are going to watch Germany vs Equadore WM game. He has been in saudi since december. before he left, i asked him to bring be something back that was middle eastern, but he was not able to leave base during his entire time there. I wanted some middle eastern music, but he did'nt get me any. does anyone know any good middle eastern music that i could download from I-tunes? I think middle eastern music is soo cool.
last wednsday Poland and Germany were playing in the WM. man, that was a fucking awsome game. you had nose bleeds, yellow cards, red cards, gernies, and 150 soccer holigans arrested. germany was the only team to score in that match during the 3 min injury overtime.
it is raining today in central texas. i hope it clears up tonight. because i want to go to the boat. I am thinking about surprising my mom by buying a new canopy top for it.

...i had my first volleyball class. man; am i out of shape. i have not had a "side-sting" since i was in middle school, and all we did was practice the "forarm pass" and the "set". it was alot of fun, but i do dred doing a real match. another middle school flashback i experienced was when we all had to get a volley ball out of the bin, I ended up with no ball. I am just glad that i am not the fattest person in class. and i do not mean the phatest, because that's what i am.
Texas is hot, and summer has not officaly started yet. tonight, sheila and i and some friends are going to have a little party on the boat. we wanted to do it tomorrowe night, but mom wants to use the boat on that night.
what a game. i left work early today to catch the first game of the 2006 world cup. I have all right to do that because i am german, i would be commiting a mortal sin if i were to miss any german game. germany played costa rica, and germany won 4:2
