Demo Reel Production Center Head Quarters!

I am getting ready for my portfolio show on Friday.
I need to burn 50-100 copies. 100 DVD covers, resumes, breakdown sheets and business cards stuffed inside the DVD lid.
Busy busy busy with printing and stuffing and burning...
I am soooo excited!

Isn't an agnostic just an atheist without balls?

Stephen Colbert wrote on his Twitter "Isn’t an agnostic just an atheist without balls?"

I consider myself an Agnostic or an Agnostic Buddhist, well aspiring Buddhist or...it changes, all the time, which makes me think that I am an Agnostic?

Agnostic:
1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable ; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god2: a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something

Buddhism:
Buddhism is non-theistic, having no particular use for the existence or non-existence of a god or gods;
Buddha's Dharma is,
as experience and as a way to practical realisation, a religion;
as the intellectual formulation of this experience, a philosophy;
and as a result of self-observation and analysis, a psychology.


Hey I have balls! Big ones! I at least talk about religion. Most people don't,
like it's a secret. I think secretively most people are Agnostic, but THEY DON'T HAVE THE BALLS to admit it.
It would go against everything they were ever told and the fear of God! and hell and what ever else could happen if you ever doubt your God or his/her existence.
yeah, guess what, there might not be a God!



...not easy to put a lifetime of thinking and changing and evolving into one word. For some reason we need to define our believes in one word ...why?
People ask.."so what are you?"
I think that is a tough question, at least for me.
I often envy people that know exactly what and how they believe. Often people were raised in a certain religion and that's what they are..that's what their children are going to be...
I don't really know what my parents believed when I was growing up?

The journey continues...maybe I've given up. I will know when I am dead, or not know at all, because I am dead and everything I was is gone. There might be no such thing as a spirit and ...does it matter?

Opa with some colour

video

we had our final critique of our demo reel yesterday, which was pretty intense. We found out if we are going to pass or fail...I passed and was told by my professor, the head of our department and carrier services that I am graduating but I have to make a few changes to my reel.

They sounded like no big deal, but they are actually a lot of work and are going to occupy my weekend which was going to be a celebration...But I want not just a good but a great demo reel.

So the first thing, I had to add some colour to my Opa illustrations. I did this in photo-shop because I think this book should be in graphite because it has such a "dark" subject.
