Feeling Pitiful about Your Life? This will Fix That

Mar 9 2015

This is a boat from Cuba, that landed on the shore of the Florida Keys.

13 people on board travelled 85 miles in this mess to escape Cuba.

Apparently the deal goes – if a Cuban can make it across and set foot on US soil, they get to stay and the government gives them $10,000 to start a new life.

Imagine being stuck for days in this thing, not knowing you will make it, and even if you do, you what… start a new life from scratch, in another language, with what little belongings that fit on your back?

Feel like whatever was bothering you is less dramatic now? Good.

If not, try my line here.

What the Florida Keys Looks Like

Jan 31 2012

Neat filter on my photos, don’t you think.

I did it at the camera level with my PEN, it’s called “Pop Art”.

Florida has the best mini-putt courses.

The people who built the bridge to the Keys from the mainland, they lived on this little island in 1910.

The really really long bridge is here, the 7 Mile Bridge.

The one they blew up in the Shwartzenager movie , ‘True Lies’.

Manatees are the cutest.

Nickname: Sea Cow. An un-official mascot of the Keys. Everybody loves a Manatee.

It’s sad though, when you see them with chewed-up fins and gouges in their backs; they often swim too close too boats.

It’s not their fault, they’re too dumb to know better.

It’s the kind of place you can still leave your doors unlocked.

People don’t litter, people are friendly and funny, it’s safe, and all the nature is fiercely protected.

If you get to visit here, don’t be a d-bag.

Morning from the Florida Keys

Jan 25 2012

I’m here for 2 nights to visit old friends, arrived last night.
Enjoyed dinner with them, then I put my head down and edited.

I’m pleased to report I have finished learning the new Final Cut YES. What that looks like:

I was dragging my heels on learning it, not gonna lie. Then Saturday night I bit the bullet, sat down, and got up 8 hours later; that’s what it takes.

Ever seen what video editing looks like? Here’s a fast video I made last year showing you.
