BBCode is turned off, so don't expect any pics anytime soon. I'll figure something out soon. Promise.

C. has been wanting to kill things again, so if he rants about that or animalism or killing puppies for fun or some other sick something... well, sorry.

In terms of religion, I (C.) am agnostic, Zack is either Christian or Catholic, were not sure, Nic is forced into Christianity by his mother, David is (I think) Catholic, JR2 is atheist and TK is atheist. I believe God exists, because nothing makes sense without some sort of explanation of a God. Why are we here? Big Bang. What started the Big Bang? Swirling dust. How the ###$ did the dust get there? WE DON'T KNOW!!! But I can't side with one church or another. If I side with the Catholics, well, the whole boy-rape thing doesn't exactly work for me & Zack (the raped, mind you), and we can't side with the Christians because they're ######6 extremists who have no idea what the ###$ they're talking about, and I like a group to have a basic goal and a leader smart enough to guide them to it. They have so many issues with so many things I cannot side with them because if I agree with one thing, another thing of theirs crops up and I go back to being stuck in the middle. I am stuck in the middle, because until I fully understand Hinduism or Islam as well as we know Catholicism or Chirstianity, I refuse to go near them. Its not a race thing, its just that we'd rather play it smart and join the side we agree with most, and although we love Muslims, their religion is kinda crazy.

But HuffPo put out this article today on why young people are leaving the church. "New research by the Barna Group finds they view churches as judgmental, overprotective, exclusive and unfriendly towards doubters. They also consider congregations antagonistic to science and say their Christian experience has been shallow..... One in four 18- to 29-year-olds said "Christians demonize everything outside of the church." One in three said "Church is boring."...One in six young Christians said they "have made mistakes and feel judged in church because of them." And 40 percent of 18- to 29-year-old Catholics said their church's doctrine on sexuality and birth control is "out of date." (Huffpo, link below).

I agree with most everything there. EVERYONE in my church is a Republican except me. EVERYONE. EVERY. ONE. I cannot stress that enough, its ######6 everybody in my "Church Family" is right, or far right. The ######6 Pastor is the only one with sense to see both sides, and I love the guy for that, but the ######6 congregation is so stuck in their ways of hating gays and loving wars, saying they love the bible while saying that someone should be executed if he or she commits a crime, young people are looking at them, then looking at facts brought up by Jon Stewart & Bill Maher and such, and all these contradictions and say "###$ them! They're ######6 stupid!" And I know that for a fact, because that's why Nic's best friend is agnostic. He won't touch a church EVER because of the hypocrisy.

But we still go. Every Sunday. Nic goes because he has to, and likes to talk to some of the churches older people he's gotten friendly with, like Wilma L., who eats pizza with us every 3 weeks or so. He does love her like a Grandmother, and she loves him too. But EVERY TIME we are over there, Fox News is always on. And when Politics pops up in a conversation, its always "Obama is the great Satan" or whatever. So, on one hand, he gets to see her, but on the other, she doesn't see the truth.

I personally like church. They hand out this SUPER FAR RIGHT (Caps because damn is it biased) magazine called "Todays Pentecost Evangelical". They hate on everything for no good reason at ALL. But thats not why I love it. They contradict themselves more than Lindsey Lohan in an interrogation room. They have this section in the back called "World View" that has quotes from this week on it, all of them gay hating or anti abortion or what-not. Then they have these statistics in the back from Pew Research and $#%^, and its all like "How Many People hate #######1?" and such. But the BEST is...

I just found out something. If I say C. Nic and just say "Hey, C's here", it looks a lot like "Cher E." So Cher, plus E. "C here"= "Cher E." Cherry or faded pop star? YOU DECIDE.

Construction to install sewage lines into our neighborhoods has gone awry, as the backhoes have nicked the telephone wire, knocking out all internet to my neighborhood. I'm writing this at College.

Its been raining ALL ######6 day. We ######6 LOVE the rain. Its awesome. And quiet,too. If you just walk outside (like we have to on a ######6 to hit the bus stop on time), its the greatest feeling in the world. Your head gets lighter, and you hear that one tone in your ears, ringing. And as you keep walking, the only sound around is your footsteps across the gravel. So good.

I kill for moments like that, being all alone. My dad lives alone, and he's becoming very successful. He's a guitarist, or a musician who plays various guitars. He's been doing it for some 25-30 years now, so hes VERY good, and people are now starting to see that. He actually had an eHow video made on how to play Spanish Guitar and Arabic Guitar and such (See here: http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_11762_acoustic-guitar.html). He's great. He is literally the only adult friend I have that I can trust entirely. Hell, we even watched "The Aristrocrats" together. (NOT THE ARISTROCATS, ARISTROCRA-, JUST CLICK THIS LINK: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436078/).

So, anyway, tour starts tomorrow, will be showing you around. We can't be in it, for anomininity reasons apparently. Its fine, but I am showing you around work tomorrow. And a GIF, for those who care. Enjoy today, and ###$ with what you can do tomorrow. (Thats like my Lawerence Welk signoff, he had a show that was super clean and fun, I curse and sometimes flash people at parking lots in Spokane, WA.)

I feel like I should write something, so here it is:
-Started work on Project Seku, so expect updates on that.
----For those with a technical mindset, we have taken over a doublewide trailer outside our church that used to be used for youth group and converted it into a MoCap studio with 5 PS Eye cameras attached by USB to my laptop, so we can track movements in a 360 degree view and get the highest quality MoCap achievable without buying a $6K MoCap tracking setup from OptiTrack or Vicon, etc.

-Will be showing you around TVcTV on Thursday, since we will be directing another episode of OOPS.
------So, essentially, we'll try to get pics of the facilities and show you the average work day at TVcTV. At least the average day while were working there.

Anyone know how to get pics "In-Journal"? I'd like to make it so I don't have to link out to Photobucket every time. Thanks

The gig for tomorrow was cancelled, but I do have cell phone footage of the place while I work on the switchboard as director.

In the meantime, I just hired my first employee for... work, I guess. He needs cash and I have a semi-steady income, we can work together and make something.

The main problem is motivation. I always seem to want to do something real bad, but when the opportunity to do it arises, I don't want to go near it. I just want to stay home and watch Netflix on my computer, jerk off and sleep.

So, I'm hoping that paying this guy (A dear friend, by the way, who does like my work) will help motivate me to actually do $#%^ this year. He helped push me to get a cast and crew together to film our first feature, which fell apart due to scheduling issues from practically everybody, but at least it was a start.

Wish us luck! Were going to be trying SOMETHING.
