I made a cheesy little Gnarls Barkley music video. I shot it in O'hare airport on the 7th. Enjoy, or not, lol.
Cutest video ever
if your heart doesn't flutter while watching this you are dead inside
now that was very, very touching, with the whitney houston track and all... i almost teared up.
but do you know how funny it would have been if they got both got mauled by his pride? you can't measure the comedy level of that scenario. off the chart. the cynical side of me was waiting for it.
yeah, it could have been the greatest lion attack video ever made
I smell a re-edit.... I'll keep you posted, lol.
oh snapula
very cool. but the real question is, why are you watching the view??
oh goodness no i wasn't watching the view silly. I found this video linked on another site.
Thanks, Sherri Shepherd (from the View) for mentioning that you were a JW
"Before I converted to Christianity, I was a Jehovah's Witness. In 1993, my mother was dying from diabetic complications. My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses. I was in a very physically abusive relationship. I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count. I had very low self-esteem and just wanted to die. I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn't even make a difference. But God showed me that it would make a difference."
so did everybody see Dark Knight this weekendia?
I think i was one of the last people in the US to see it, we saw it Sunday night. haha. By that time it already made like 200 million so everyone saw it.
it was amazing
too bad that instead of celebrating and swimming in all his money, Christian Bale is sitting in jail today, arrested for alleged domestic violence
violence against his mom! how could anyone do that?
she probably deserved it. Christian Bale can do no wrong.
HAHHA so you beat your mom when she deserves it? tsk tsk :P
i agree. she must have had it coming. he's patrick bateman, he's batman, he's john conner, he's that kid from newsies! mama musta been overreacting. or maybe he IS a total maniac. his role in American Psycho WAS very convincing.
50 funniest comedy sketches of all time. I don't agree with a lot of these, but it's cool that somebody did this
http://www.nerve.com/dispatches/nerveeditors/50greatestcomedysketches/01/
it's gonna take a while to watch all these.
watch the david cross "pre-recorded call in show" one, it's really funny
My all time favorite sketch is Chris Farley's Colombian Coffee Crystals switcharoo. The one where he goes totally berserk in the restaraunt. I also like various Dave Chapelle skits. The State, Kids in the Hall, Trigger Happy Television.
Ok guys humor me..I've been sitting @ the hair salon for 3 hours now. I'm so bored and impatient and have emailed' text or I.M'd with everyone and their grammas
Hey check out the Awake! on the bottom of this site
http://seapics.com/
that pic KILLS me. It makes me so sad. :(
yeah saddest thing EVAR
Hey can anyone recommend a reputable online backup system? Like mozy.com where I can upload things to back them up. I like the idea of off-site storage.
Anything your jobs are using, that I can trust?
Thanks
Kamila
Dear Kamila,
Are you looking for something that is completely free? Or are you willing to pay a bit?
I believe Microsoft's SkyDrive is free: http://skydrive.live.com However, it's not really designed for backups, but you could certainly use it for that.
There's also Microsoft's Live Mesh www.mesh.com which is similar.
And you could try to get into the Dropbox beta: http://www.getdropbox.com it's supposed to be really cool.
Those are all free.
If you're willing to pay, I'd recommend Jungle Disk which uses Amazon's online storage solution http://www.jungledisk.com It's $20 for the backup software, and then you pay Amazon low rates for the data storage you're using.
Sincerely,
Ian.
LOL wow
i didn't even realize i signed my name on that LOLOLOLOLOL
ooof i'm stressed this week hahahaha
thank you. I am willing to pay if it's really good and trustworthy
(my hard drive crashed last night, among like 100 other issues I am dealing with, dealing with brides sometimes is a little stressful lol)
oof, that sucks!
did you lose data???
jungledisk is really good.
No, chris was able to restore it all and I'm working on that hard drive right now and just double-backing-up everything
To "Lost Files in Philly" -
Might I suggest investing in 2 portable hard drives? The large file sizes used by photographers such as yourself can be quite time consuming for uploading - perhaps up to a week. Why not get two portable hard drives, leave one at a friends house and borrow it once a month to update it? Then have one for daily backups.
Sincerely -
"I backup my music religiously"
Dear Super Hero,
This is an excellent suggestion. This is what I would do.
Regards,
THE GOV'T
Yeah i have everything backed up to an external and on DVD's stored in a fire proof water proof safe
I like the idea of online storage even if I had another hard drive like at someones house or somewhere else off site because i could access it anywhere and (hopefully) they have backups ... what if my house and my friends house burns down at the same time and my fire proof safe fails?!?!?!?!?
LOL
Can a few of you please help me out? This is for a course I'm taking. It only needs to be a few sentences, just EZ msg it to me. THANK YOU!!
What are people doing on the internet? Briefly interview 5 friends, family or work colleagues and find out what they are doing and why? What are their experiences and how has it changed lives?
i think you should barter for people doing this. i'd take a nice bottle of wine or something.
i don't know if 3 sentences is worth a bottle of wine. how about i'll paypal you $1
so... my band was invited by max 106.3 FM / WNNJ to play in a battle of the bands a week from saturday. But it's my one year wedding anniversary and I'm already going away for the weekend.
The set is only 20 minutes long though, so maybe the guys can just do it without me. Anybody on here able to learn to sing and/or play a few songs in a week?
bump
There's gonna be an Office spinoff... sounds like a dumb idea
http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/02/the-office-spinoff-official-speculation-discussion/
I don't know now that there getting amy poehler, pretty funny. Ever heard of upright citizens brigade?!
Shameless. A new movie by BV.
Is it me or does youtube MURDER the quality of my videos. holy crap.
If you want us to see a better quality version, past the link to the video instead of embedding, cuz isn't there sometime a link under the video on the YouTube page to click for higher quality? I noticed that after posting my video...since a higher quality version of the one I posted was over a GB, I had to post a lower quality and when it transferred to YouTube the quality reduced even more, but then I spotted that link under it. I clicked on it and it did improve the quality.
yeahhh, but 96% of people are too dumb to do that.
well, not too dumb, so much as... they just don't care, lol.
blip.tv is better quality if you wanna try that out
NOOOO! I never want to try anything out ever! AHHHHH!
Hell Fellow NAIL BITER
(Hello)
noope noope i think you had it right the first time... haha
wow you're allowed to film in airports??
that was cool
actually, i brazenly walked around with my camera and no one said anything. even on that shuttle bus. that was chicago's o'hare airport, btw.
crazy. i guess you didn't look like a terro.
i, for one, am looking to be better friends with anyone who has a pool
I have one. Guess I'm your new best friend.
Terminator Salvation! Teaser. Wowww.
http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=20443
What're you doing, Christian Bale? You're working with McG!?
ice cream is good!
quick, we need more root posts so that google ads don't pick up on that comment before!
aw man i missed it
y'know? i'm not that into "hard" music, but glassjaw has always amazed me. it's not that this is stuff is evan that hard compared to what folks are into these days... it's this emotion is this kids voice. it's a queer species of insane. the opening words always gets me... and the drone-y guitar.
oh wow glassjaw i completely forgot about them.
Call me evil, but I love those work days where you give yourself that pep talk, "okay, buddy, you'll kick it into gear and get some work done after lunch."
hey let's all give ourselves a hand, we actually have more than 1 post today so far and it's only 10:28
YAYYYYY
haha
Saw a recent picture of you, D. Hill. You're lettin' the hair grow, eh?
whaa? where? you couldn't see the gray, could you? it's getting gray at a scary rate
i got it cut short a couple of weeks ago, but lauren likes it longer and more fro like
wow that was too much commenting on my hair, back to interesting stuff nwo
A friend showed me some pictures from a wedding. Kevin and some chick, I don't know her. Didn't notice the gray. You gonna use Just For Men?
oh yeah that was lauren's brother Ben (you know him?) best friend, Kevin. And also Liz Cooke.
i will not use just for men, unless i begin to look like george washington
Just quit the tiptoeing and get the purple mohawk over with already
yo guys are we down for another event where everyone gets together?
we should. that would be good times. also brian can make videos
yeah we live closer now, woot, we might actually attend
ha
I approve of this comment. I think most of the people on RS are funny, smart, and creative enough that we could film some really crazy stuff with no prep. If not... we all could just strike Dan Hall about the head and neck with sticks... that'd be funny to me.
Yeah sure... Pick on the red headed kid. ;oP
Kiddinggg. I wanna meet your wife though. I'm sure the drugs have worn off by now and she's gonna slip those handcuffs any minute...
Haha... How'd you know I drugged her!
oh and only if all the women are required to wear burkas
That's enough, Katy Perry
Thanks
Kam
yeah so my music PC is offline today
I guess I'l be checking out all your muxtapes
and pandora
yay
just put it back online
chris brokez it methinks
hey you know what's crazy?? The sex-offender registry. I am pretty sure i saw my local SO this morning while walking my dog! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY
good thing i could totally take him
haha
please don't OK? the last thing we need is to see on the news
"Local Photographer and Jehovah's Witness Caught Trying to Kill Local SO"
I can't wait to see what this does to the google ads
LOL
hey the recent Awake said that if you are protecting your famiy and you strike someone to end an attack and they HAPPEN TO DIE well it's an accident
(i'm kidding)
(besides the dude is my age and he got arrested 10 years ago... it was probably some hobag that looked 20 but was actually 16 or something)
Hey peeps from Hackettstown, when is our District Convention?
I hear Rachel and Chase will be in the drama...
Yeah that's swell... but not what I asked... :oP
it's Aug 22-24
Are you a Hackettstown peep... I think not...LOL! Thanks Matt.
no but i'm going to yours :)
I see how it is, now that your a married man again you think your all special....
I married a woman with an awesome name. Doesn't get any better than that.
Raven Hall. sounds like a gothic opera venue.
Oh so you're just ASSUMING she is going to take his last name??!??!?!?!
haha ok down inner feminist... down
lol. feminists are so boring.
feminism is funny. women are equal...hahaha, that's hysterical.
i know, feminists are so cute i can't even take it! thinking they have "rights" ...
It is hysterical. I am so not about feminism bologna. Woman should be home cooking dinner, cleaning the house, taken care of the kids. Yeah have a job do your little thing but your place is still to take care of those things. I can't stand feminism.
i want a feminism bologna and cheese sammich. with spicey mustard.
haha that sounds pretty delicious indeed
stuff like this would have ruffled my feathers like 8-10 years ago
not no mo, yo
8-10 years ago? c'mon. i'm thinking maybe 8-10 WEEKS ago. maybe that PA lifestyle has changed this feminist's spots.
eh sometimes i guess
i mean i don't think it's fair that women earn 80% of what a man earns for doing the same exact job
Or a guy at a recent wedding saying "you know i'm shocked there are actually a lot of women photographers these days" and I just nodded but what I wanted to say was "oh yeah you should see how many of us are DOCTORS" haha
and yea i don't want to have children but i certainly don't think there's anything wrong with popping out babies and staying home to raise them - whatever makes you happy haha
and i clean and cook and take care of my household
OH and I certainly took my husband's last name lol
AND the "weaker vessel" scripture no longer makes my blood boil
so, whatevz
zzz
Drama Queen...
whatever
oh and btw i totally have always said that if i ever have kids i would be a stay at home mom. i reallly think that is the only way to go. good thing i already work from home.
oh and i would totally get a nanny for when I'm working, even though i work at home
anyway
whatever
totally kidding with the "zzz" by the way. i totally understand where you're coming from.
I know you do flix mahy
ha ha Kam, I remember the days of you getting heated over feminism stuff. I would just be like What who cares go bake a cake. j/k LOVE YA
oh great pick on the fact that I cannot bake
MY ONE WEAKNESS
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
hahaha
The whole feminism movement to me is just a bunch of woman who feel they need to prove themselves.
Why do you need to prove yourself over anything get over it.Equal Rights, is not what your really going for your going out to prove you can do this or prove you can do that. So. Who cares.
I will give credit though because it is because of THOSE annoying woman that I can do whatever I want without getting beat up by the mens. However I think I would do whatever I wanted anyway. All with in reason and soundness of mind- I would hope. I like being the weaker vessel. But knowing if it came down to it I can take care of myself- Knowing I don't need a man to depend on.
hey, look, no feminism here!
ahhh, yes, a group of women who know their role. refreshing.
LOL- And how do we now if they are all not hidiuos looking or have boils or something contagious. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. They totally enjoy not having to think of what to wear every day. ha ha
I got married over the weekend for those who don't know. :o)
wow! congrats bro
Thanks.
yeah, no one really cares...KIDDING! congrats dude.
haha... Thanks.
WOW congrats! how long were you dating?
3 months. We just skipped the whole engagement period. Neither of us wanted that stress.
hey its what you both want that matters! good for you!! again, congrats!!
Thanks Gina.
aren't you a little old to be getting married?
LOL! Yeah, I'm decomposing as we speak.
then i hope your wife took out some life insurance for you.
Took this on Pensacola Beach. It rained everytime we set foot on the beach. Very odd.
wow, congrats, Dan. you're crazy!
Yeah I am. LOL!
Congrats, Hall! All the best to you and... what's her name, btw?
Raven.
woah! sounds like a super hero! score, dude.
Yeah, like the girl on Teen Titans.
yeah, awesome name! Congrats Dan!
Thanks.
that's all different kinds of hot
Yes indeed.
Raven. Where's she from? And what was her AOL Screen Name in the late 90s? hahahaha
Pensacola, FL.
Raven is definitely a rare name.
Florida you say? hmmmmm
::::Twilight Zone music::::
zuh?
A sneak peek of a scene from my upcoming movie
omg....so funny!
characters by the way:
main guy in the scene - jimmy, my cousin
guy in locker room - my dad
2 gym employees - kerlin (from my work) and todd
also - todd's feet in the bathroom stall, and alex is at the gym desk for a second but you don't see his face
yeah i lost it with todds expressions...the "im on the clock" and used his sandwich
honestly, if someone talks to me like that... pointing his sammich at me... i'd reach over the counter and ruin break time. that's for sure.
HA Nice
ahhh, nice! mad funny. todd corddry's part is mad funny. your pops too. can't wait to see the rest.
I was genuinly frightened in the first part of the movie that your pops was gonna drop his briefs. But besides that great job, very officelike and since cloverfield, the home camera style is the latest and greatest.
haha... just wait for the outtakes!
and todd! what a job was that improv?
we mapped out everything that had to occur in the scenes but all the dialog is improvised
haha i love it. can't wait to see more. and is it just me or is todd wearing a mustache in one shot and then the next one...not?
THANK YOU! SOMEBODY NOTICED!!!! But I'm technically still wearing it..
yeah it took turns on your face then on your shirt
dang i want to see this but it is not coming up for me :( tears :(
try here
aaahhhh MOV yeah that would be why. I have a codec on my windows media player courtesy of Charrisimo so I should be able to view it once downloaded....... trying now
dang, did not work
convert that to something like an MPEG or AVI for X64 people will ya?? lol
just download quicktime
it doesn'st run on my computer
it's just not good
upload it to youtube
haha, this is great! your dad is the man.
in one of the upcoming scenes some people on this site will have cameos. we filmed them incognito so they don't even know they will be in it!!
was it me at the district convention, working? that's awesome.
I just have to say that Matt did an awesome job editing this, because most of this was a vision, and was unscripted, so putting it all together and making it work the way it does.... yeah, it's a task and feat. Great job, Matty!
"i'm not even leagally allowed to talk to you". Good stuff Good Good stuff.
this is good. Todd, I like how you said you'll make sure she gets them (the "all-purpose" pants).
Piece of Meat - britney spears parody of "piece of me"
I did not film 99% of this but I edited it... i am not good at editing but anyway
here is what I do for a living
the behind the scenes of a wedding
and yes, i am awake at 5:26 a.m.
and i do not know how to make this video not blurry
blah
Haven't give a crap about anything Star Wars in years. I WILL be playing this game though. Wow.
Force Unleashed. You can ball up AT-ST walkers and throw them away... with the force.
I've been waiting months for this game... Was supposed to be out this past Spring.
wow, I got goose bumps!
Made a stupid new movie.
i thought V was really cool
this is really cool, can you do a video for me?
sure
great job!
i love how weird and creepy this is ha
Where is this... Canada?
close
My new laptop came with a basic version of PowerDirector...so, so far I finally have one video up on my YouTube and plan to make many more.
Allright, so this may sound really dumb that I don't know this..But someone help me out...There are currently 9 members of the governing body..who are they? I know Bro Barr and Bro Lett. Did Bro Herd pass away? Or is he still around? And how about Bro Barber? But those are the only ones that come to my mind. I know i'm awful. Someone tell me who the seven are now please!!!
don't sweat it, lol
wow, i dont know any of them...spiritual zero right here everybody :(
same here. i don't even see it as something we should be concerned with.
Bro Barber passed away.
Here's the thing, at pioneer school they told us that we should know this since they are pretty much "representatives" of the organization..but now i dont' feel so bad since i'm not the only one that doesn't know. so how about this...I was in chickfila today(like i am every day) and the manager comes up to me and is like, hey we voted and decided that you are a raging chickfila fan, and we are going to let you have a party on a wednesday night for you and 9 friends and we will give you all your food and drinks..haha..AWESOME!!! best day EVER!!
wow, that's truly amazing.
check out the beginning of your 2007 Yearbook. everyone pictured and named there (except Brother Barber) make up the current governing body.
this is fun. i remember when yay used to do stuff like this, but for real.

Wii Tennis = extremely addictive
I never thought my shoulder would be sore from playing a video game...
I need to be hit over the head with a blunt object today...
so check it! george lopez was at my meeting yesterday!!!
sorry sorry... turns out it was just some random spanish guy
You just let me know when a random Albanian femme that happens to go by the name Masiela Lusha shows up at the meeting, and give me the address of your Hall pronto. Comprende mi hermano?
oh man, the day he does, no one believe you. You're the boy who cried "george lopez was totally at my meeting the other day"
i thought i saw george lopez at your meeting too. then i turned around, and there he was again, talking to another guy that also looked like george lopez! weird.
you're all wrong...george lopez wouldnt step foot in the english...he'd be in the spanish....DUH! :P
i'm in a spanish hall! that was the joke!
I so wanna join a foreign language Congregation. (Who knows of an Albanian group?)
you should join a group for witnesses who are crazy.
i know it was a joke. but i thought you went back to the english.
nope, still in spanish
i just got a text from my friend from my old congregation that Oprah was at their meeting
WHAT THE
apparently this weekend would have been a good weekend to visit the old souf jers
pics + divx or it didn't happen
wow, that's cool
LOL FALSE ALARM
it was just someone that looked like Oprah
DOH
This is how rumors get started lol
haha yeah, i was told that she was such a good look-a-like, she could have won contests as her double
yeah so funny
lol
rainbow road: it's where you go when you die
you know who is NOT good?
Mariah Carey
like when she appeared on the scene in the early 90's it was like this voice no one ever heard and this clean girl next door image
now, she sounds terrible, all nasal and whispery.... and looks/dresses like she still thinks it's 1991 only more slutty
that's my rant for the day
UGH this woman needs to go back to unicorn land.
I made a new. It's very... latin.
Okay, REALLY! Who HASN'T had this happen to them? lol
i have to honestly say i have never had a white rectangle happen to me
HA! i should go to a costume party with that 'play' rectangle on my head.
"dude, what're you supposed to be?"
"i'm a youtube video, bro."
maybe not.
here is my dog's "please, please take me for a walk" face
No, this is Clive Owen.

dinglometer. that is all.
Silly New Movie I Did. . .
here I am at work alone again and trying to ignore my prickly heat rash. the AC and benadryl combo aren't helping as much as I hoped they would. maybe I should migrate to a cooler climate during the summer.
hi! Sorry I missed you on google talk yesterday! Good to hear from you! (it was a busy day at work yesterday with a big shipment of laptops)
aw! I was hoping to catch up with you buddy. I'll try again after pioneer school for sure. I start Monday!
*ghosttown*
At the risk of embarassing myself in front of some of the math pros on this site, I attempted to calculate the present-day worth of Solomon's 50,000 pounds of gold in our Watchtower study this week. I don't have the exact figure on me right now, but it was over $600 million. Imagine that times his 40 year reign: 30,000,000,000. And who knows if that figure accounts for other assets!
pretty crazy. nice work!
