Ok, one of my new years resolutions is to stop looking like Frank Blacks evil twin, or good twin. Someone told me yesterday that I looked like Frank Black from the band the Pixies. www.myspace.com/pixies to go and see for yourself. Wow, yeah well…
Yesterday was messed up. I was out shooting the snow storm when I came upon one of the fatal car crashes on 212 just east of Chaska. I did not shoot any video of the crash itself but I did shoot a lot of the traffic jam as as result of the crash. I got some great footage of people slipping and sliding that I’m going to post this week to the site. I focused mainly on stock video since I knew that with Denver getting hit hard again, TWC was not buying anything with the flood of footage out there from around the country from the TV Stations.
When I was leaving the Flying Cloud area after filming the traffic jam from 212 being closed, the drive into downtown was insane and I almost was hit head on. A driver who was fleeing the scene of a accident was driving down the wrong side of the road on 212 in front of the Eden Prairie shopping center and missed me by inches after I swerved to get out of the way. My first thought was not oh shit here comes a car but it was Oh Shit, my laptop is hooked up on the Jotto Desk and I got airbags and if this idiot hits me, my laptop is gone.
Oh what are my other resolutions? I plan on getting the weatherpaparazzi.com site done in the next few weeks. Almost all of the photos are now edited and on line. I just have to review some stuff that is going to be photomerged together for stiched photos. There are some other photos I need to work on as well but nothing that important. Right now, I just have to work on the site layout.
The other one is to slow down and take more time off from chasing and settle down. Maybe get back into the dating scene and have some fun.
The last is to finish college. I want to get the 2 year degree out of the way this year. I know I’m going to have to work on the math stuff but I think I can go back and knock it all out this fall and get the 2 year out of the way then go for my 4 year degree in mass communications. Yes, I settled on a degree, mass communications.
Why not get the degree for the crap I’m already doing.
Here is the video from yesterday.
