It’s Jimmah Time!

I think your up J dog. I expect a video with an accompanying sound track that I can purchase on I Tunes

My Update - (the real one)

Someone, must of hacked Ryan’s account and impersonated me doing such an act. :)

I live In Bolivar MO, and work at a place called Duck Creek Technologies. We do insurance software. I’ve been working there for almost 4 years now. During this time, I have moved to Bolivar, bought a house and a Toyota Prius.

I went on a mission trip to El Salvador last July. It was the first time I’ve been out of the country. It was quite tiring, but a good experience.

I am still single. Not the happiest update in the book. (Please no comments about “you’re better off that way.” I’ve heard them all)

I do quite a bit of weight lifting and play some sports, including basketball. (Speaking of) the old team needs to get back together and play some bball.

The first day of May, I plan on taking a week off of work to either go tornado chasing, or if the forecast is good, drive to Alaska. Anyone want to go? I usually get a no on this one because everyone’s married, and well you know the rest.

Next winter I am hoping to go to Australia to visit a friend of mine that will soon be moving there. My plans are to go into nature there and try to survive.

Lewis!

I’m going to Stone you if you don’t do an update!

“Baby Grace’s ‘Bee FF’”

Hey guys,

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year Celebration!

I just wanted to give all of you a link to one of the video contests I’ve entered this month. It’s for an organic honey throat drop company called “Bee MD.” The idea is, “Who is your ‘Bee FF?” Sure, it’s a little more cutesy than I’m used to, but if you all wouldn’t mind logging into YouTube once a day and rating the video 5 stars, that would help me out immensely as the judges say they’ll consider the winning videos at least partly based on YouTube views/ratings.

Here’s the URL to my video in the contest:

Baby Grace’s “Bee FF”

It’s called “Baby Grace’s ‘Bee FF.’”

Also, please feel MORE than free to tell other people to view and rate it as well.

Thanks and more thanks!

VISION 140: A Day through the lens of Jacob Walter Snyder

Hey dudes,

I’ve entered a really big video contest! You can view my video (its title is the title above) and other videos at www.nikonfestival.com. There you can create your own account and even upload your own videos. 50 finalists will be voted for on I believe the 16th, so if mine gets picked, be ready to start voting for my video so I can win the Audience Choice Award ($25,000). It’s kind of scary, cause there’s some really slick-looking stuff out there, but it’s worth a stab or two. I’ll update you once the 50 finalists have been chosen (pray I’m one of them!). Also, if you login to the website, you can start commenting on my video, which could help it get recognized a little.

Thanks, guys!

VIFL REUNION - JACOB WALTER SNYDER

vifl_reunion_snyder_final.jpg

01) Got married to Rachel Luise Lehenbauer on the beach in Hilton Head, South Carolina on June 2nd. WOOHOO!

02) Had an awesome honeymoon first in Charleston SC and then in the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts.

03) Living in a little white rental house near the corner of 3rd and Elm in downtown Washington. Rachel just received her Master’s Degree in Piano Pedagogy and is teaching a few students at home. I was full-time editor for a nationally syndicated bass fishing show, which was cool experience, but the show lost its title sponsor and bombed. So now I’m unemployed, but Rachel and I are getting by and keeping busy.

04) We bought a piano! We spent a bit more than we had originally planned, but it was such an insanely good deal for what it is that we had to get it. Rachel’s very happy with it.

05) We have a cat named Pepper. She’s pretty cute. She sleeps, poops, jumps on things, bites us, makes out with fleece, and eats our food.

06) BABIES! I’ve never been much of a “baby guy,” but I’m proud to have my new nephew Henry, and my nieces Grace (Rachel’s sister’s baby) and Kylie (Rachel’s brother’s step daughter).

07) I’m applying to film schools again, to get my MFA and to hopefully jump start a professional career in film/video production (as opposed to videography). I got an acceptance call from one in San Francisco yesterday, and am expecting to hear back from one in L.A. and two in Chicago. If God wills it, Rachel and I will be moving to Chicago or California in Fall 2010.

08) I’ll soon be trying my hand at online film competitions. There are prizes that range from $1,000 to $100,000. Could be time well spent if I pour thought and energy into it.

09) I’ve been jogging and doing some weight lifting lately, trying to keep myself at a healthy weight. It seems that ever since my colon surgery, it’s been easier for me to get fat. But I’m very, very thankful to have a well working “semicolon.” My Crohn’s is well under control right now.

10) The summer after graduating college, a few friends and I dressed up in heavy monk robes and all got heat stroke in the woods to film my zero-budget epic “Tale of the Unfinished Song.” And what was more and more becoming “Tale of the Unfinished Movie” has finally reached a point that I can call “finished.” Despite one special effects scene, which my friend Tim is going to start working on in January, The Unfinished Song–though far from the multi-million dollar production I originally imagined–is now at least watchable. Struggling with the film for the last 2 to 3 years has given me a much deeper knowledge of storytelling, and I look forward to remaking the movie someday.

And that, sirs, is my VIFL REUNION 2009 UPDATE!

Question

Where the heck is James Wright?
