"Hey kiddies, guess who's back with a brand new rap"

Ok i know it's a stupid song, but hey that line is kind of catchy. It's been a couple of weeks, long weeks...really long weeks. Tonight i am going to an AIGA meeting in Castelton at Borders. Kind of boring meeting tonight but hey ya never know who you will meet at these things (AIGA: American Insitute of Graphic Artists). One cool thing that happened was my birthday was last week Hurray Hurray, my mother got me the misfits box set. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME over 4 hours of misfits music, i am literally in heaven. Andrea also bought me the new tim burton movie "courpse bride" once again AMAZING. OH we also had a date night and went and saw "walk the line" (movie poster is amazing), good movie, great movie....but i am tired of movies where men run around on their wifes..."where did all the coywoys go" or in this case where did all the good guys go. But now we know where all the cowboys went...a little place calld "brokeback mountain". Right now i am working on corigated boxes that have to be printed for my company. And I am hoping i don't have do deal with any more superman stuff today (I am seriously praying). Anyway hopefully i will have some new quotations for the week tomarrow.
Untill then kiddies

"a quick one while he is away".....that is a reference to The Who....if you didn't catch that

Anyway I was not able to udate the blog this weekend.....we were celebrating my sisters bday and mine this weekend....anywho....it's been a long day. I have been working on packaging for some toy cars...I have not had a good idea in 13 hours...I basicly stared at the screen all day...getting nothing accomplished. But that is how design goes sometimes. Let me know if you have any ideas..
Love Me

Disney guidelines........man their picky......seriously

It's been cool to hear from all of my old friends. It's neat to see what everybody has been up to. I have really missed talking to everyone of you. And oddly enough I have enjoyed updating this blog or whatever you call it. Anywho, it's been a good week. I spent most of it at work (what else). Guess what I worked on....that's right SUPERMAN STUFF AGAIN! I am really getting tired of superman but what can you do. Although I have got to work on some stuff for the new Disney/Pixar movie called "Cars". I think the funniest part about this one (of what I have seen) they have a tow truck named "Tow Mater".
WORK QUOTES OF THE WEEK!
-Let your love fly with the wings of a bird, "Oh Maya kiss me"
Tim (my boss) when describing how he made out with Maya
Angelo

-I love my house but my kitchen is small. But I guess that is ok since it was built in 1930. (kristin) Yea when people were smaller. (Tim) My boss believes people were no taller than 5 feet before 1930.

-Why does the restroom smell like oranges and poo. (Emily)

-George....Shaq Attak on line one....Shaq Attack..line one... (front office)

-If Superman is the man of steel....does that mean he has buns of steel? (Tim)

-My computer has ADD. (Canaan)(got to respect the macintosh though)

Anyway one great thing about this week is I got to spend a whole day with my wife. We don't get to spend a lot of time together because of the opposite schedules but hey we make if work! Almost finished a book...a great book....The Fair Tax by Neal Boortz. Great book, but stray far away if you are not fan of non fiction. But I have not accomplished my goal for this week yet. I planed on finishing my portfolio website, but it's still not the end of the week, so I guess I have some time Saturday. If anyone knows how to center a flash document in Dreamweaver please give me a call!
One last thing I want to say before I go is, Thanks. I know I met most of you that are reading this at FC. I would have to agree that I prob was not the most calm and patient person in the world and was hard to deal with. I am truly sorry, if I offened anyone, but know that I have changed a lot and am a better person because of the change. Hey I would love to hear from all of you email me or give me a call or i'll call ya if you email me your #. Also watch out for me and Andrea's childrens book we are starting on it and hopefully we will have it published soon. email= shaffners@insightbb.com 317-985-5778

Another Fine week at Novelty

Ya know you never really know what to expect from your co workers. Nomally when someone thinks of an office enviroment, it would be a pvc walled prison made of "cubicals". But I would have to say the "offic" enviroment is very different when you work with a bunch of artists. I would have to say say the days are filled with random movie quotes, sudden outbursts, conversations about PANTONES (OHH LA LA),and the sudden smack in the head by a SUPER BOUNCY BALL. But hey it's all apart of the gig. This week the whole team was greeted monday by a deadline that was not so exciting lets just say you can buy new superman movie merchince real soon (because we worked our butts off for new designs) By the way don't go and see the new superman movie. But we would have to say the best day of all is TEAM B "ROCK OUT" THURSDAY, we all make a playlist on itunes and we make jokes about eachothers mix. Most of the jokes originate with Ben Folds lack of singing, Josh Groban's pretty boy look, or Chuck Norris (i don't understand the chuch norris, but hey anthing to do with Chuck Norris is funny). Any way that is the ramblin for now.
  • jenn
    so you don't recommend the new superman? Even though you designed the stuff for it?
    by jenn at 02/04/06 11:30AM
  • craigdusher
    chuck norris is hilarious. did you know that when chuck norris does a pushup he's not actually pushing himself up? he's pushing the earth down.
    by craigdusher at 02/06/06 10:29AM
  • canaan
    well.....The only thing I have against the new Superman movie is the way that Superman actually looks...imagine Dustin Dimond from saved from the bell?....now add about 20lbs and that is what the new superman looks like
    by canaan at 02/06/06 11:47AM
  • caty
    YES YES YES!!! YOU'RE HERE!!! chuck norris bores me... josh grobin is very pretty, though... i agree with that.

the start of a new begining.....on pleonast at least

Ok.....after many a messages of pleading and unattractive groleling (by Craig D Usher) I am finally a register user of Pleonast. I am basicly doing this because I do really miss a lot of my friends from FC. I hope to hear from a couple of you soon. Anyway to let everybody know what is up, I recently got married and to let every body know getting married is actually a wonderful thing I love my wife and am greatful to God for giving me her as a best friend. I also graduated oh......I can not remeber all I know is it's great not having to cram for test anymore. I am a designer, and work for a company called Novelty Inc. I design packageing and in product development (right now I am working on new stuff for the new superman movie, i am so tired of looking at superman let me tell you). And I attend services in Greenwood IN with some of the greatest Christians I have ever know. Well my lunch is almost finished so I have to go (look at superman some more).
