If you where to try ti find a non-NKJV way of saying “there’s nothing new under the sun”, I guess you’d end up with “Everything’s a Remix”.
As an artist, I crave originality in my work, to push the limit, investigate the unexplored, reach new heights, …and of course get famous for doing it. But the truth is, everything has been done before. Even some of the artistic works we’ve praised for its originality and success have merely been a remixes. Watch this.

And that’s not to say remixes are wrong, everything we create comes from an experiences we’ve experienced! And yet I know myself and a lot of other artists can place originality as the god-head of art, which seems pretty backwards. Over and over I’ve heard, “Well, that’s been done before.” or I’ve had artists with complete lackluster over a project that was merely “an assignment” that wasn’t their idea. When we put aside originality and focus on knowing ourselves as artists, what we’re good at, bad at, impassioned by, then our authenticity can speak loudest, and the originality with come from within rather than from outside.

Please tell me this is for real!! ZOMG!!!

Even though I shot this short back in the Fall of ’09, I never did anything or even posted it anywhere. I think my intension was to completely re-hash the embarrassingly amateur audio (which was my 2nd time to use Soundtrack Pro). But after a year, I obviously haven’t made the time to re-do it, so I post it now. I still love the fantastic cinematography and the performance by my amigo Richardo C Jones. Watch, Absorb, & be Changed!

We made this video for last week’s XXX message // Four individuals deal with why do they felt like sex is such an important experience to rush into and how that played out in their lives.

It’s only sex from Gateway Church on Vimeo.

So my wife informed me that the Olsen Twins video was a little too long, and slightly on the creepy side. So I revamped to another awesome video!  I just want to know why all dogs can’t do any of these cool things, and mine is currently scratching at my arm for some form of attention.  Dumb, non-parkour’ing dog.

…and you always have been (expect for that one time in 1941), and you always will be!

This is a video I found at my friend, Vince’s blog. He’s got a pretty cool thing going on there, so be sure to send him some follow love!

Saw this awesome video and liked it, I then validated that emotion by clicking a button that read “Like” so that everyone knew how much I liked it …I then posted this video here for your perusal.

Great music video by one of my favorite songs Broadcast 2000′s “Get Up And Go”
