Sub par

My life is absolutely sub par as of late. Work is shitty, which is kind of unusual because I usually don't judge my work, I just take it at face value.

My classes are alright, it's just that I need to manage my time better so that I get to do something fun and productive when I have free time. I mean, I'm really starting to want to get back into art related stuff, start writing more, for fun, music, and blogging, and finally learn FL Studio so that me and my brother can get our group up and running. I don't care if anything I do goes anywhere, I just want the experience, and there's always a chance we could do something new and make a name for ourselves.

Other than that, I'm up to nothing. Besides waiting for the new Smash Brothers of course.

Oh Fields of Clover!

its a strange kind of terror
work 5-11
ITS A MONSTER

Cloverfield was an absolutely fantastic movie. Of course, I was already psyched about it, plus there are hardly any cool monster movies like that, so that made it so much more rewarding. Some of the major complaints I heard about the movie were that it was too short, the camera made people sick, and that you couldn't see the monster. Surprisingly, I didn't seem to have any of those problems.

Now, don't get me wrong, the movie was short. About 71 or some odd minutes of actual stuff. Really though, not at all a problem. I think that with what the movie had to offer, the length was perfect for telling the story in semi-real time over the course of one night. Secondly, the camera was shaky, but not sickening. Maybe because I play so many videogames I'm not at easily nauseated by shaky camera movements as other people. I don't know though, thats all I have. Lastly, you do get to see the monster. Yes, parts are brief and you never get a perfect view of it, but it's just enough to keep you wondering what the hell is going on.

Worst Day

prty n bllshit

Yesterday was probably the worst day in recent memory. My internet kept going in and out, I felt like shit, my knee is all messed up, we were short 2 people at work, and I got a flat tire. Awesome.

Work was especially shitty because of the kitchen manager. She said she'd work my stuff for me while I did all the cleaning stuff for the other people. I was pissed, but at least I didn't have to do my normal stuff too. Wrong. Right at 9:00, the time when I usually leave, she leaves. The fucking twat didn't do anything the whole night, so I had to go back and do a whole mess of other stuff. Damnit. I didn't leave until around 10:45, and I got to walk up to my car with a flat tire.

I think I'm gonna go take out some rage on people in Rapture.

Down!

AFK TO THE MAX!!

Yeah, my internet died for about 4 or 5 days last week, so it was actually really rough for me not being able to do email and such for a while.

Looking back at the last month, it's ridiculous at how much I've started gaming again. I always thought of myself as a "gamer", and I like keeping up on all the industry news and new releases and games, but I never really play all too many, and I complete even less. This last month however, I really started playing seriously again. I sat down and played like 7 hours of Bioshock, did some single player and LAN on Diablo 2, started loading up The Orange Box, and did some Smash Brothers. Needless to say, it was fantastic. Once I complete Bioshock in another day or two, I'm thinking about jumping on into Super Mario Galaxy.

Now, I like Nintendo, but I don't really like any of their games, or the main ones at least. About the only games by them that I've actually sat down and played seriously are Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Wii Sports, Pokemon, and Smash Brothers. I'm not too big of a Mario fan, never got into Metroid, and I can't play more than 30 minutes of a Zelda game for whatever reason. Super Mario Galaxy however, is a completely different story. The first time I saw it in action at home, I was completely blown away. Everything about it is beautiful, unique, and fun looking. The music is spectacular, and everything else just ties it together into one awesome looking spacey-platforming adventure.

Now more TF2!

Happy New Year I Guess...

its ALL WRONG

less than stellar

So it's a new year, 2008 to be more specific. Anything new? No. Not yet at least, but hell, it's only been 5 days. As if for some reason I haven't said this before to myself and/or others, I plan to keep my resolutions this year and make something of myself. I want to do an album with my brother, get some of my other music released with other people, get on track with school, start my artwork making back up, and start getting out there in the world. I want to meet people through parties, my music, and my drawings. I want to be part of a social scene with anyone I can get with. I figure, it's time to start getting my name out there, even with random ass nobodies just for the publicity. Maybe someday I'll be able to use my creative abilities for something great.

Maybe that could be a reason why I've felt like shit lately. I have great, original ideas, but never execute them. I think that it's time that my ambitions started to take form and I work my hardest to make whatever dreams I have come true. Yeah, I know for a fact that I tend to be pessimistic and cynical most of the time, but I know for certain that what I have to make and share with people is great shit. It's often time weird and out there, but entertaining nonetheless. I fly all my ideas past a couple of people like my brothers and a few friends, and although I'm usually met with some sort of exasperated sigh because my ideas usually begin with some sort of pun or play on words, I always get good some kind of good feedback.

I know that anyone could say "They're only telling you what you want to hear!", but I know better, and I know that it's not true. My brothers and father rip my ideas apart piece by piece because of how "stupid" they are, but always end up 20 minutes later going "hey, even though we just made fun of it, it is kind of interesting and new". I get laughed at all the time for the ideas I have shared, but people usually end up feeling that they are overall well developed and intriguing.

Anyway, I could talk for hours about my other ambitions with art/design and music, but I think that's for another time.
