ALL FOR ONE 2006 A COMPLETE 2006 ARCHIVE PAGE |
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22nd, 2006 It's that wonderful time of year again. The time of year when political correctness runs rampant throughout our lives. "Happy Holidays, sir. Thanks for shopping at XYZ Brand Store" Happy Holidays? This is not just some holiday that was chosen at random. This isnt Labour Day weekend, or Thanksgiving. This isn't just a way to get people to spend money and have time away from work. This 'Holiday' is about Christ. Christmas is a Christian Holiday. It is the time to celebrate the birth of our lord Jesus Christ. Here in Ottawa, I hear it at least half the time. "Happy Holidays, thanks for shopping at Loblaws". You know what? Holiday this!!! I respect those who immigrated to Canada, or the US for that matter, and their values and beliefs. But you have come to a country that was founded on christian principles and beliefs. In the US, the currency still states "In God We Trust". The Canadian school system was started by christians. We celebrate CHRISTMAS, not a non-denominational holiday. And to the next person who wishes me a "Happy Holiday"? MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! Here's a tip: Don't eat yellow snow!

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15th, 2006 Well, its been a busy week that has gone by, and an even busier one to come. I have been hired to shoot two corporate videos, on a very tight time frame. The second, again for Bell Canada, is more of a gift to a select group of their employees who just recently left to look after their newest call center, in India. Many of these guys and gals spent a better part of the year there, opening the center, training them, evaluating them. Now, they're heading down again. Only this time, they will be there, away from their friends and families, over the Christmas holidays. So I have been asked to design, direct, film and edit (Yes, Im a one man concerto) a video greeting card, that will include their colleagues, managers, staff, friends and families. In other news - My driver's ed classes are going well. Ive been on the road quite a few times, with Larry, from Young Drivers of Canada. I now have my confidence and trust in my own abilities. By the spring, Ill be a fully licensed driver. Fear me. Love me. But at least pay attention to me dammit!

Happy Birthday Aremis! 36 years ago today, asylum refugee, Jeff Orange, aka Aremis, was born into this world. The second child of Sandra and Winston, it was soon apparent that Aremis would cause great waves. Honestly, jeff has had a filled life in just a short 36 years. In his musical day, he got to perform for and with some of Rock's biggest stars; Ace Frehley, Tracii Gunns and LA Guns, Aerosmith, Joshua Kadison, to name just a few. Although his career in music didnt pan out, he still went on to enjoy the life that God intended for him. Now working as a multimedia designer and training manager for the largest Telecommunications Company in Canada, Jeff keeps himself occupied with his 3D work, animation, film work, and most recently, launching his newest endeavour, photography. Send him a happy birthday message. He'll love ya for it =). And remind him that he's THIRTY six...not TWENTY six.

NEW SITE GOES LIVE Millions of people from around the world...what?...Too much?...OK... Without any fanfare or witnesses, sitting alone in my office...For crying out loud...OK...fine...alright...sitting alone in my small apartment with my computer desk crammed in one corner, Muskateer Graphics, as is traditional at the Year's end, relaunched today with a new look and a new attitude. "It's been a very busy year, both personally and professionally, and I havent had much time or energy to keep the site updated with news, information, or new files" Jeff Orange told this reporter. "I have had many requests from people to add new files, to assist with their projects, or come out with new tutorials. Alas, time was always a factor." he rambled on for about another hour about his latest invention, the Time Machine. But this reporter thinks it was merely the fact that the clock on his desk had died, and he lost track of time. Jeff has been busy recently taking on some new photographic accounts, dabling in various new mediums for his artwork, and trying to keep his head above water, all while trying to battle high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and one friggin' huge headache. His biggest project has been to lend a hand in the graphics world to a local band, Moneyshot, by offering free photographic services for their shows, designing a logo, and trying to think of a cover theme for next springs EP release. Now with the holiday at hand, Jeff is looking forward to a well deserved rest from it all, and will be partaking in many a joyous occasion with family and friends. Keep your eyes to the sky...And you'll wind up stepping in dog poop! Back to self medicating!
