So that’s why you bought that plastic axe that’s in your closet

An “Autobiographical photo series” for the first project Jean Dennison assigned in her Visual Anthropology class Freshman year (2005). Apparently, I didn’t understand the assignment.

Lens flare? Ewwwww…

Now that I think about it, this really marks the beginning of a trend for all of my video and photo projects:

Making people dress up in silly costumes.
Prominent American flags
Tongue-in-cheek attempts at looking cinematic
Implied cartoonish violence

Something to think about I guess.

Thanks a lot for everybody’s help: Matt, Bailey, Beth, Skeet, et al.

So I watched this movie yesterday that reminded me of this post, your first swiss commercial, and “gang bam”. It was called “Six String Samurai” and at one point a guy that looks like buddy holly fights the russian army with a sword.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Internal Battles Divided McCain and Palin Camps
Finger-pointing at the end of a losing campaign is traditional and to a large degree predictable, as Mr. McCain himself acknowledged in a prescient interview in July.

“Every book I’ve read about a campaign is that the one that won, it was a perfect and beautifully run campaign with geniuses running it and incredible messaging, et cetera,” Mr. McCain said then. “And always the one that lost, ‘Oh, completely screwed up, too much infighting, bad people, etcetera.’ So if I win, I believe that historians will say, ‘Way to go, he fine-tuned that campaign, and he got the right people in the right place and as the campaign grew, he gave them more responsibility.’ If I lose,” people will say, “ ‘That campaign, always in disarray.’ ”

O come, O come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel.
And ransom captive Israel.
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny.
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

...

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come, Emmanuel by God - #
