Wow, lots of interesting people here. Here's my bit ...
- 36 years old
- Clinical Social Worker on a military base by day ... event videographer by night and weekend
- 13 y.o. son, 15 y.o. stepson; in committed relationship 4 yrs
- Goal: Figure out if I still want to be a therapist or try to sustain my finances doing what currently brings me passion--creating lasting digital mementos of special occasions.
- I love Starbucks Mocha Java ice cream--especially when I find it at half-price in the local grocery

Hi, I'm Keith, and I'm an alcoholic... whoops- wrong room 
I'm 41, been doing graphic arts since cut and paste meant using real glue. Got interested in the internet when it first came out and got into web design. Got an AS degree at a crappy little school, where I had to help the teacher to get her frame exercises to work. Picked up a little experience in everything, including a brief glossing over on video capture and editing. That was what got me on the road to video and film.
I started editing surf and interview clips for SurfGuru.com, learned to shoot so I could show the camera guys what I wanted. Then I started doing band videos, corporate seminars, freelance camera, just about anything that doesn't involve kids or animals. Right now, I'm working on creating an hour long opera... of sorts.
On the hardware end, I started with an XL1s and a GL1, dropped the XL, and just recently replaced the GL with a HD100u. Working on upgradeding the audio now.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby-Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis. . and I stole this from Hugh Gallagher who wrote this for his application for admission to NYU. He got in. His last line being "But I have not yet gone to college."

LOL. Yea, its tough to find enough people. I couldnt- no free iPod for me.:crybaby:
But, I have to say, its a whole lot easier to get free money another way... its called asking. You send a nice letter to a local branch of a business (not big box stores) and they usually are very nice to you.
