The Elves Occupy

cuzzoclay — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:14:48 +0000

I had a little creative spurt for Christmas and came up with a little jingle for the holidays from the Elves perspective.

Enjoy,

Hey Sorry for the audio. It happened when the video got compressed for the web. It sucks but Oh well like the elves, “I ain’t gettin’ paid 2 do this sh##!”

A Christmas Confession

A Christmas Confession
Christmas is that time of year when even the most hardened soul succumbs to the spirit of the holidays. Just take a look at Old Ebenezer Scrooge and I’m sure you can find a version of that character right in your own circle of acquaintances.
Well, I AM that guy. And yet I just received a Thank you card (actually an email) praising the deliciousness of my Christmas baked-goods package. It can really make your day when someone appreciates the little things.
However, With the compliment properly enjoyed I found myself slightly confused by the addition of, “We especially enjoyed the pecans in the peanut butter cookies. That was a nice touch!”
You can understand my confusion concerning the compliment much better when you are informed that I have not made anything with Pecans in quite some time. In fact, I can’t recall the last time I’ve even touched a friggin’ pecan!
In a situation such as this one asks one’s self, “Self, what are you going to do?”
And this is the point when – if you are paying attention – you get to witness the duality of your own personality.
Maybe it’s just me.
Anyway – I had the presence of mind to remember the thoughts that immediately ran through my head.
And here they are:
Do I confess the truth.
Do I even know the truth
were they being truthful
perhaps it was another basket and they just got confused
They may have just eaten – which could only be described as – quite a large bug.
But then again, They liked it
who am I to relieve them of that enjoyable experience
I think everyone would be much happier if I just kept quiet
What kind of BUG could that have been anyway
I’ve never seen a Pecan sized bug up in this Ma*%$3er before!

Screw it.
Merry Christmas
and
Enjoy your Baked-goods!

Photoshop Tutorial Masking Text

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the delay in posting anything. Here’s another tutorial for Adobe Photoshop on “masking” text. This video will show you how to change the background of a masked area to display a graphic image instead of the boring color. I’m changing this text from black to Brick text.

Check it out!

Photoshop Brush Tutorial

cuzzoclay — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:08:39 +0000

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to create Brushes and Patterns in Photoshop. The reason the video appears lengthy is due to my adding a few of the patterns I’ve made. Underscored with a tune by yours truly.

You know I can’t help myself.

Two and a Half Men Punked

cuzzoclay — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 13:01:53 +0000

I saw a clip announcing the new season of Two and a half Men. I was wondering about the show Sans Charlie Sheen. What would the show be like with Ashton Kutcher in the mix and (BOOM) it hit me.

This is the Ultimate “PUNKED” episode!

The show begins and at some point Charlie Sheen pops in the scene and the cast turns to the camera and tells us all that we’ve all just been PUNKED!

That would be SO cool!

Remember, if it happens, you heard it here first!

Hell No – The song

cuzzoclay — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 18:53:31 +0000

I received a call today that got under my skin but I turned it into a little fun. Lemons intoLemonaide and all that.

In an era of glaring Government inefficiencies and their wasteful ways I leave you with this song I wrote. (wanna hear it? here it goes)

WARNING – ADULT LANGUAGE

(ya that works – I tried though)

A little diddy I call HELL NO

Monday Monday

Whew, a break in the heat!

Finally. Fresh (well) air. It’s nice to be able to open the windows for a change. That hum of the air conditioner was killing a brother. I managed to knock off a little funny during the heat wave though. I should say one that’s acceptable for public consumption.

I called it Homeland Security (wonder how many hits a title like that’ll get) If you wanna check it click HERE

Sunrise in Windsor, Ontario

cuzzoclay — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:42:29 +0000

I was up and out early today. What a sunrise!

I felt like Louis in that movie, Interview with a Vampire, it was like looking at a Sunrise for the first time.

It has been a while since I’ve been out of the house at that hour though (LOL).
