Why I Hate [American] Football - A Compendium of Knowledge Oct 6
I recently saw a commercial for something called 'Sunday Ticket' which will allow the cable subscriber to watch an unprecedented FOURTEEN football games on one Sunday. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
My name is Josiah.
I am a Christian - I'm trying to find the right balance in that. I don't want to run around sporting W.W.J.D bracelets, knowing all the words to 'Jesus Freak', and hitting people in the face with an NIV (Teen Edition) bible. Neither do I want to blend into the world and hide my faith behind numerous allusions and smoke-and-mirrors tactics. Also, I HATE (yes, I know it's a strong word, you don't have to point that out) cheesy Christian T-shirts (which is mostly all of them).
I'm a graphic designer. I design things. I over-analyze things like the typographical structures of menus at restaurants. I can't sit through a movie without silently (or audibly) critiquing the logos I see. I also can't stand when people use Photoshop filters and act like they're hot stuff. I've spent a lot of time learning good design principles that I will apply to web stuff later on (instead of what appears to be the going trend of learning a bunch of web tricks and skimping on the learning of actual design). What I'm trying to say is this - I don't know enough CSS to make my profile look super fancy yet.
Random Tidbits: I like learning things; I get a kick out of people-watching sometimes; I usually start laughing in serious situations (which only compounds when people try to express the seriousness of the situation); when I was a kid I really wanted to go on Legends of the Hidden Temple.
If you run across this profile, go ahead and introduce yourself and we can try to be friends. (But, please tack on a message so I know you're legit.)
Jurassic Park I-III, Back to the Future I-III, Indiana Jones I-III, Shrek 1+2, Gladiator (Extended Edition), The Three Caballeros, Encino Man, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, Alice in Wonderland, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Series of Unfortunate Events
MxPx, Pax217, Brave Saint Saturn, Ace Troubleshooter, Mute Math, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, the Pogues, Side Walk Slam, Switchfoot (I like their old stuff the best), Andy Hunter, Weezer, Flatfoot 56, Huey Lewis and the News, FallingUp, Philmore, P.O.D., John Reuben, MC LARS, Lightheaded, Mashups that are interesting and sound good, a lot of stuff actually.
I'm fairly certain I could teach a college course on Lost. (Also: Heroes, sometimes The Office, and anything on the Discovery/History/Nickelodeon GAS channels if I allow myself to be sucked in.)
anything by Dr. Seuss, Mere Christianity, the Horse and His Boy (or anything else by C.S. Lewis), Lord of the Flies, a Confederacy of Dunces, And Then There were None, Kingdom of the Cults, Imagineering, Designing Disney, Dinotopia, The Looking Glass Wars, and The World of Art by Henry Sayer (4th Edition).
Learning. Designing. Gaming. [Art]Raging. Antioch (not anymore). Reading. Powersurfing.

Your project looks awesome! You never told me you were making clothes... how could you?? I guess we're even for the goofy movie thing now. I must say I especially liked your shirt with the animal sacrifices. I wish you had more close-up photos on the graphics themselves and the storyboard next to them.... but hey, I understand. I was up for 34 hours straight working on my stuff.... I was slapping myself to stay awake driving to school.... not safe - I wouldn't recommend it to anyone...

Hey, so i'm thinking of getting a tattoo, but obviously have zero skills in designing such a thing. If I were to send you some ideas, any chance you could fashion several designs for me? Take your time, i know you're busy what with school almost being done and all. ALright, peace!
