    Awesome…….which makes me think

    I would imagine that most of the superhuman elements attributed to Chuck Norris could also be applicable to our very own BZ.

    I retired from the Air Force 15 years ago at age 40. Now that the technology has caught up to my imagination (and budget) I have put all govt type work behind permanently as well as any self-loathing and agonizing over age. With resources like The Cow, I am now building my machine to run dream products like CS4 web premium, AE CS4, and a slew of Red Giants products, amongst others. A pile of tutorials from the Master Library here and I will be on my way to another more enjoyable career. I have thousands of drawings and photos from all over the world to draw inspiration from. With sites like this, I should be up to newbie speed in no time. With the drive and training I possess, I hope to post some nifty crackin eye candy. My wife thinks my Adobe bills on the credit cards are for porn online! Wait till she sees the wedding footage after I have played with it!

    Shut up and quit your stupid whining, Zelin. At 54, you are barely past your fetus stage. With your experience, you probably started working 10 years before you were born. And you say you are scared? Just wait until that first social security check comes in… then you can claim a right to be scared. Wow! Tired and cranky when you can still whip and snap with the best of them? Don’t you know that “old” is someone five years older than you, and “young” is someone five years younger. I look with nostalgia at the stand-up Moviola that Moviola uses as a conversation-piece in their lobby while someone waters the plant they have growing in it. That’s old. But I have my Panasonic Hvx200, my cutting edge Avid bay, and am taking delivery on my Panny Plasma… just in time to be put out of work by some high-school kid cutting from the cloud. Really, the only answer is that we all take the Kool Aid now, and beat the 2011 rush, because it is common knowledge that fossils can’t shoot or cut.
