Default The Total Miniature Football Experience

You get up at 3:00 am and began to add things to your miniature website, knowing you've got to take about 100 pictures in several different scenes to get shots that you want. Then you film a commercial showing various formations that you know you can implement using zone blocking, screen passes, and the power sweep. Because you've done this so often, this becomes second nature. You then find yourself looking at pictures of athletes online and start thinking to yourself, "I can do this guy. Can I make him functional and unique in what I want?" That takes another hour out of your day. Only to remember, you've got a evening football game that you've got to prepare for.

By this time, it is only 5:00 am and the day still has not arrived for most. But you know, you've got a team of New York Jets that you've set aside for a completion date, a Yankee Stadium that you have promised a great customer yet still have not gotten it to him, and so many other projects waiting at your beckoning call to finish. This brings you to 7:00 am and now, people start go move around and life begins for most.

Not to mention, at 4:00 am, you had to make a quick run to Walmart to get some "supplies". Every MF'er know what "supplies" are in the MF world. While in the store, you wonder about other things you can get. And just think, this is all before 7:00 am and on a Saturday.

The family is usually very understanding on game day so they don't bother you a lot. You go eat morning breakfast with them at the local IHOP and quickly you get back to work. At 8:00, you get a call from a buddy out of Michigan wanting to spend some time discussing painting techniques. That conversation usually last about an hour. In that hour, you're still working on Yankee Stadium to change the lighting out because it is not quite what you want.

Also, you've got that 308 Gameboard over there that you've got to finsih putting the graphics on and completeing it. By this time, its only 9:30 am and you remembered, you have a paralegal class in 2 hours and last week's assignment is due today. Fortunately for you, you were up previous nights researching for this class and all you've got to do is express your thoughts. It takes total concentration and respect when studying any facet of law, from any perspective, and you know that the knowledge that you learn could have grave implications. So you pour your heart into it. By the end of cramming, you ask yourself, "How do I do it?".

I'll be back!

Default Putting In Work

Reg,

I am with you. Similar things are happening here at Electric Coach Studios. I am working with my photos, videos and my audio equipment for the YouTube production. Along with this I am creating teams as well. This piece of work is the most exciting and challenging project that I have ever done with the electric football theme.

All of you that havent been to Reggie's place just dont realize what goes on.
He is a "one man gang" and its all done in his home , not a factory setup.
I know how much time he puts into his projects and even gave him a hand when I visited and enjoyed every second I spent with him. Its a experience Ill never forget , and I learned so much even in that short period of time.
I could tell alot of times when we were talking his mind was always spinning in a creative manner. His imigination and creativeness are so impressive , when you get to tour his "world" its just incredible. I cant wait to go back and enjoy it all again. Especially the peanut gallery , I miss you guys.
Joel

RD or the "Don"
Get the crowd ready and tell them to bring their appetite. Cause the Black Hole is going to turn into a place for a feast.. Panthers style and southern style. We will be serving up "Raider Hash" , even though I may have to spice it up enough to stomach it.

All I can say for sure is, when it comes to cooking, you the man, as the song says "nobody does it better",,,,mmm when it comes to MF we'll just have to wait and see, if you play as good as you cook, you will be alright. And one more thing those emotional post are almost to much for me to handle, please tone it down a little, it took me almost 2 hours ot get over it.
