Livejournal? Nov. 276, 2003
It is today, November 276th of 2003, and I find myself wondering "Why not go to Livejournal? (No link, I'm too lazy)
A lot of my friends have Livejournals,(Steimel, Merz, even Avery. See above for why no link-y) so maybe I'll be cooler if I'm over there? Actually, as fun as coding my own stuff is (That isn't sarcasm, I love HTML) it would also be nice to have the simplicity of post-n-go - ness. I could choose my own colors/style, and be a part of the crowd over there. They have a comments function for after you post, so the tag-board-ness would only be slightly altered to comment-board-ness. Hmmm. *Contemplates*
Thoughts/suggestions discussion in my inbox! Getoffmylawnstupidkids(at)hotmail.com Hope to see your words there.
Fine Nov. 6, 2003
Goddamn you! You're making me update again?! Fine. But don't expect much. Oh, and you're adopted. And your "mom" hates you. And I pissed in your cereal this morning.
Let's do some linking!
Someone has a lot of free time on their hands. ASCII Babes is a site with an archive of these...these pictures. Someone creates an image using notepad. It's hard to explain. They fill the screen with different characters that, when viewed from a distance, make a picture. Some of them aren't so great, but most that I saw are FANTASTIC. Unfortunately, they butchured Kirtsten Dunst. Those animals.
The Death Clock will tell you what day you're going to die. Appearantly, I have until Saturday, February 4, 2079 to live. It's pretty cool...except the "Seconds to Live" countdown is kindof morbid. Even if it isn't real, it gave me a chill watching 15 seconds of my life tick away. *shudders*
The Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything is a really big button that doesn't do anything. But I wouldn't post a link to a button that does nothing...would I?
Still bored? Did you forget about Atom Films? I think you may have.
That's it. I'll update more at some point. maybe later, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day. Who knows. Bleh.
Of Things Nov. 6, 2003
Fine, I'll update. Why don't we start off with this: Have a free cat.
Bwahahahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that. It still makes me chuckle.
So people bitch about all the Matrix movies. They bitch about how the movies sold out (as in to "the man"), they bitch about how the special effects in the second two sucked, they bitch about how the films contradict themselves, and they bitch about how there wasn't much in the way of philosophy in Revolutions. Wah. Cry my a river. I thought the movies were very well done, even if I didn't really like Reloaded. The special effects that I've seen in the trilogy are mind blowing. Saying they suck is like saying cars can't really take you anywhere. You're wrong and you're a retard for saying it. And I stab retards for fun, so watch your back. Who cares about the philosophy involved? In the end, I just want to see a guy punch another guy. And if they're both flying while it happens, all the better. I'm going to stop talking about The Matrix because I don't want to end up with an 8-page paper on it.
I'm sortof tired. I just slept for three and a half hours and it was great. Now I get to go to work in half an hour. Work is still bullshit. We don't like work.
I got my sketchbook back from my drawing teacher. You know, the midterm sketchbook. I got a 4.5 out of 5, so that is awesome. An A on my midterm will pull my grade up toa high C or a low B. Either way, it is cool. I think I stopped hating my Drawing teacher all together, but we shall see. We shall see...
I don't have anything to say, so this is going to be the end. Don't forget to pick up your free cat on the way out. Hahahaha.
Revolutionary Nov. 5, 2003
Wow. I just got back from seeing The Matrix Revolutions and I'm pretty pleased. I'm going to give some thoughts on it, but I thought I should let you know that the first part will be spoiler free, and the second part will have spoilers. I'll seperate the spoiler thoughts from the non-spoiler thoughts by putting the spoilers on another page so you won't accidentally read them. You've been warned, now read on:
No Spoilers
I give the original The Matrix a 9 out of 10. I give Reloaded a 7 out of 10, but Revolutions gets a 9 out of 10 from me.
Reloaded was filled to the brim with philosophy that I just couldn't wrap my tiny brain around the first time through. Another viewing will fix that. Anyways, Revolutions wasn't so heavy on the philosophy, which was awesome and helped a lot. The fighting was pretty cool in my opinion. The movie's end came as kind of a pleasant surprise. I did not, ina million years, think it would end like that. I don't think this non-spoiler review tells you a whole lot, except that I liked it. If you got turned off of the series because Reloaded sucked or because you thought that The Matrix sold out, I still think you should see this movie. Also, something happens at the end of Enter The Matrix (PS2) involving Niobe and Ghost. I thought Revolutions brought that into the story, so that non-gamers would know about it, really well.

And Then Nov. 5, 2003
Remember yesterday, when I vomited links all over my post? I forgot that my buddy Matt is just as awesome as anyone else, and his purchases show that. Long live the D, Matt. I also have a buddy named Robbie- oh, but wait, he's a fag and doesn't have a blog or site or dick or anything. Hahaha, just kidding, Robbie. You probably have a blog somwhere.
I'm going to see the new Matrix movie now.
Note To Self Nov. 4, 2003
*Stop calling jesus a fag.
*Don't make fun of black peoples' names around other black people...or anywhere else, for that matter.
These tidbits may help you on your way through life. I predict the number of times a day my life is threatened will decline now that I have adopted this advice.
Work is goddamned awful. I fall asleep a lot there. People piss me off. People with phones. People who have phones but don't know how to use them. I want to stab them all. Lately, I've been having fun when little kids reach me while playing on the phone. I tell them Santa Claus doesn't exist. It's awesome. I want one to cry.
I spent an extra two hours at school figuring up my schedule for next semester, then I found out that I can't register for spring until next week. That is bullshit because I'm dumb and I didn't read that on the little thing they mailed me. I could have come home for a nap instead of wasting my afternoon. Bullshit.
I only have 2 midterms left. My 8 page research paper and my 3 page research paper+presentation. Neither will be that bad. I can't wait til I'm done so I can get back to the important stuff, like playing Warcraft 3.
I feel like linking a lot today, so here we go:
Emma, over at Caoine, inspires me to be a better writer. I just really like the way she writes and hope that one day I can be that smart sounding without sounding like an asshole. Steimel, Sarah, and Merz are cool. I haven 't talked with Merz in foreverm but he's in the Air Force and he kills people with his bare hands just for not wearing deodorant. Wear your deodorant, people. Steimel is playing Final Fantasy XI. It may be cool, but I don't need to deal with another Multiplayer Online RPG again, not to mention World Passes. They were a goddamned stupid idea.
This is a funny picture. And this is something I doodled at work one night. That would be a road cone eating cars. Yeah, I don't know either. I do know that I should scan stuff witha scanner instead of a webcam. Instead of a shitty webcam. Fun stuff.
I haven't italicized a word in this post yet, and that just feels wrong. Ah, much better. Goodnight, everybody. Tomorrow at 8am, Robbie and I are going to see The Matrix Revolutions. It's going to rule. if you don't think so, you can go to Hell and join *-------- ----------- ----- ------ ------------- ------- ------- ------ ---- ----- ------- -------- ---------- ----- ---------- -------* (I thought better of saying that, and I'm glad I did. Instead, how about a nice joke?
How many babies does it take to paint a house?
Actually, that's a trick question. It really depends on how hard you throw them.
Oops Nov. 4, 2003
I would update, but I have no time for what I want to say. I'll summarize for now: Midterms are bullshit. My art teacher isn't so bad right now. Work is bullshit. I'm hungry. The end.
Phase One Complete Nov. 2, 2003
I goddamn hate midterms. Appearantly, my four classes are, like, the ONLY classes on campus that gave midterms. They wouldn't bother me so much if they all hadn't assigned 247-page papers at once. At least I finished my sketchbook. I was getting sick of drawing all these little knicknacks around the house. At first it was cool, cause at least I could pick what I had to draw, but it got old because most of the "little things" that she suggested had more detail than I wanted to mess with. I didn't want to put a lot of effort into it. Anyways, the sketchbook is done, so my art teacher can choke on my dick. Ha. I'd draw THAT, you bitch.
I miss my old GIF archive. I thought about trying to start another one, but that fucking GIF editor sucks now. I liked the older version. now it implements some tools from Flash, and Flash was hard. I'd say I'm about 20% done learning Flash, but that's at a standstill since Real life(tm) started kicking my ass. I've got a job, I'm going to school, I have to try to keep my dog alive by feeding it and walking it and stuff. Oh shit, I forgot to feed my fish this morning. See? Even if I do get through school with some kind of degree, it will be a fluke. They just don't notice that I'm getting passing grades for half-assed effort. Not even half-assed. I put no more than a quarter of my ass into anything I do. And I've got this skinny little white ass to begin with, so there ya go. There's gonna be Hell to pay if I end up running something important. Like, if they ever put me in charge of a water filtration system, for instance. If that happens, the town I'm filtering for can just kiss it goodbye, ok? I'll screw something up somehow. "Oops, wait, they said NO paint thinner in the water? Shit." After that, I would go to warn the president, or some such, that I was diligently filtering the water, when some crazed terrorist ran in with open cans of paint thinner strapped all over his body and did a swan dive into the supply tank. He was screaming "PRAISE BE TO ALAH!" and other kooky Arab shit. I swear.
I wouldn't make it to warn anybody, though, because the president is, like, really far away. I don't want to travel that far. And I can't call anyone because I'm too lazy to pay my cell phone bill. I don't want to write a check. You have to fill in all those lines. on top of signing and dating it, they want you to write out the amount that you're...checking. With words, and stuff. That just doesn't fly, and I can think of 20 things I would rather do than write. So old Greenville, USA is fucked with saturated drinking water because I screwed up, and nobody is gonna find out until they're all sick/dead because I'm really too lazy to care. Way to go, America. This is all your fault. No, dicks, don't go blaming it on me, because you should have known I was a fuck up when you put me in charge. If I'm a fuck up, and you put me in charge, then what does that say about you? That's right, it says you're a dumbass and that you should have known better. You should be ashamed.
Oh, yeah, Bash.org rules. I just found them this weekend. They archive all these hilarious conversations from mIRC, AIM, and all those other messengers. There's some funny stuff on there, but then there's also some stupid stuff. They need mods to help decide what is funny/should be posted and what gets rejected. I applied, cause I'll have time to do that after Thanksgiving Break, and I referred them here, (They need some kind of proof that you ahve a sense of humor) but after reading over the last few posts, I don't think I'm in. None of my most recent posts were funny. They were just filler stuff so I could say I've been keeping up with updates. They should scroll down and read my Adventures With Computar or something. I liked writing that one.
I think a shower and some food will round off this day nicely right about now. I'll come back and fix all the typos later tonight or something. There are always typos.
>Happy Halloween! Oct. 31, 2003
It's early in the AM on Halloween, everyone. I hope yours is going to be better than mine. I get to do more homework! Hooray! Though I did finish 8 sketches instead of the sought-after 4 sketches today, I still need to keep up the pace if I hope to make all my deadlines. My Composition 2 teacher scheduled conferences for thie coming week. We have to show him 4 pages of work. My plan didn't allow for that. I wasn't even going to start my Comp. paper until next week. Now I have to rearrange, and thanks to my quick sketching today, that may be possible.
Well, anyways, after my sketching, I decided to carve up my pumpkin. What did I carve into it? Only the most important figure in history...
That's right. Mario, of Super Mario fame, graces my pumpkin this year. I'm glad he turned out so not-shitty. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it off. Pfft. Just goes to show how awesome I am.
I'm so awesome, in fact, that I'm going to bed.
>Something To Think About Oct. 29, 2003
For me, that is. The other day I went to the administration building and officially changed my major to Art. I talked with old, fat, grey-haired counselor guy (Think Colonel Sanders, I do!) and he gave me some info on The Art Institute of Schaumburg. ( I want to go into their Game Art and Design program.)
I'm going to run this down for anyone who doesn't know yet. Here's my plan:
I'm going to finish up this year at Lake Land. Then, I'm going to go through another year. That will secure me the Associates in Art I'm chasing right now. After that, I want to get into the Art Institute up in Schaumburg. I'm psycked about that. But Colonel Sanders says the Art school looks for a GPA of about 3.0. My GPA crawls around in the mud at about 1.8, but that will go up this semester. Next semester, it's going to go up some more. Starting two days ago, I'm going to be more focused on school than something that's focused really well...on...something. This Schaumburg thing means alot to me, and it's the closest to being sure about what I want to do with my life that I've ever been. I was just talking with Robbie, and he asked what I would do after the AIoS. Well, I hope to be picked up by one of the major game developers. Not that I can be picky right now, but I want to join up with one that will be more fun and comical than serious and realistic. I'm thinking Naughty Dog, at the moment. They made Jak and Daxter as well as Jak 2. Fun games. Rockstar would be cool, but I just don't think I would enjoy it. They stick with more realistic things like the very awesome Grand Theft Auto and the upcoming Manhunt.
Anyways, I'll need to really pull my weight in class, especially my Drawing class and any future art classes. Changing my major to Art also meant that my current Drawing teacher, whom I've referred to with some...well I've called her a whore a lot in the past, is now my advisor. I'll be dealing with her for the next two years. Not to mention the fact that she is one of only two art teachers at Lake Land, so I have a feeling I'll be in more classes with her. I've been thinking and decided to give her the benefit of the doubt as a credible art instructor. I think I just got pissy at her beccause right now, I have to draw on these giant, elephant sized sketch pads and I'm not comfortable with them. Also, we're just drawing eggs and shit. Eggs don't interest me and I'm not going to do well on them. I prefer mine overeasy, not sketched in tones. I do not like them in my pad, I do not like them, they make me mad. I do not sketch eggs art, I do not sketch eggs and I'm going to stab my art teacher. Oops, that didn't rhyme. Dammit. I've got to start being nice to her too. You won't see anymore Dr. Seuss in my posting, either.
I no longer endorse 1up.com. I liked them for news and strategy guids and funny articles, but when it came finding a specific game on their site, well, there's no doing it. Unless they have some new tidbit of news on it, it isn't there. I've always like Gamespot, however. Aside fomr that stupid advertisement everytime you try and reach their main page, the site is solid. They archive everything they ahve ever had on any game, so that's awesome. I love you, Gamespot. 1up suck.
