Mike Milo’s Journal

A Priest and a Rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.
After a while, the Priest turned to the Rabbi and asked, “Is it still a
requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?”
The Rabbi responded, “Yes, that is still one of our beliefs.”
The Priest then asked, “Have you ever eaten pork?”
To which the Rabbi replied, “Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to
temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.”
The Priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.
A while later, the Rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, “Father, is it
still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?
“The Priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our

faith.”
The Rabbi then asked him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the
temptations of the flesh?
The Priest replied, “Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke
with my faith.”
The Rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for
about five minutes.
Finally, the Rabbi says, “Beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn’t

it?”

Here’s a couple of pics from a Flavio screening I had at my house recently.

The crowd goes crazy for Flavio… seriously look at the joy on their faces!

My daughter Melissa and her friend enjoy some tasty hors derves!

Me trying to open a beer. Drawing Flavio has made me weak!

Even the little kids love Flavio or so my niece tells me!

To: YOU

This is God. Today I will be handling all of your problems for you. I do NOT need your help. So, have a nice day.
Hugs and Kisses

-GOD

P.S.

I love you.

-The Big Guy

P.P.S.

And, remember…

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself !! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!
Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
Now, you have a nice day,

-THE MAN UPSTAIRS

I made Swaroop way back in 2000 and I have to say other than Flavio, I think it is my best film. Anyway, check it out!

Here’s a final image from the Mind of Mencia segment I did last week and the clients were so happy about it, they’ve written a special animated segment for Mind of Mencia already that they want me to do. It’s gonna be a lot of work but it should be fun! I delivered the final file with a blue screen background so it could be edited in with an After Effects bg, but the funny thing is that I also exported it out as a .png file (which is a lossless file format much like a jpeg only it doesn’t degrade the picture) and .png files have alpha channels so we didn’t need it. If you actually understand what I just said, you’re a geek just like me!
I will post the final clip as soon as I can digitize it. In the meantime, you can see the final animation here.
