Casual Distractions

Ahhh! Almost a week without a post. ><

2008-12-06T21:25:00.002-05:00

Alright so, what I've been doing? I've been playing through Saints Row 2 again, co-op...no idea how much more fun that is...even though it's already fun. I really should actually review a game I come acroos. Maybe Combat Arms, since I've been sending so much time with it. Recently, I've made this...even though it's not fully to my likeing, it's something. I should re-do it and try and get it to synce up more... God, either I don't know how to work Sony Vegas right, or it's a b*tch....it's probably me...and why do I censor myself?

Wow, a little cautious much?

2008-12-02T08:02:00.002-05:00

Alright, I was ready to ask the question when I got to school. Took me awhile to well, get prepaired mentally to what may come when I ask her. When I get to school. No ones there but a sad kid left there at school. I held up two fingers at him and recieve a nod. I head home. WTF? It's bearly snowing, no ice as I could see. So what is it? I think someone's messing with my Life.

Oh to add to that effect, check out....The Zombie Chronicles

It's a great Zombie story and If ya know me, I'm a huge Zombie/"The Infected" fan.

If for those who don't know the name of the girl I'm going after, listen to this series. You'd know when you'll hear it. I just hope it doesn't go the same way though....

....Irony.....I fking hate it.

We've had I think our On and off days here. Some days that snowed like a blizzard but never stuck. Days that ended with a fair amount of snowfall to wake up the next day and find nothing. Last Night? Nothing. I didn't even think about the snow. Well if you stare into the distance you could pick out a few tiny slow falling snowflakes, but my cousin said it was just my dandruff. ****-ing A-hole. BUT HA! Check this out. ^^
Still kinda dark out...

Don't bull**** Me....

2008-11-30T00:30:00.002-05:00

My bads, I kinda lost track of my blog since the death of Casual Distractions, but, now I'm back. And I'm ready to blog....Mostly about games....

2008-05-18T12:58:00.000-04:00

I'll be using both Blogs, though this one I'll be more commited to, since the Myspace one, anyone could read and no one really keeps track of this one...Hehe.

I have lost the Myspace battle...

2008-05-18T12:53:00.003-04:00

You: "Do you have a Myspace?"
Me: "No."
You: " Why not?"

You:"Do you have a Myspace?"
Me: "OH MY GOD! FINE I'LL GO FRIGGEN MAKE ONE!" *Grumble*
You: "Jeeze, what the hell is his problem..."

Heh, no pre-order premium...

2008-05-11T14:45:00.002-04:00

Well, the title says it all. Looks like next weekend will be free. Fun times in Cedar Point then.

I'm really friggen happy.

2008-05-05T21:12:00.002-04:00

Got my pre-order on Age of Conan Collectors Edition. I've called nearly every game store on the list at the main page. But Game Crazy was the only one that had one. I better get that premium stuff for pre-ordering. They wern't on the list at the main page. So, I'm a little worried... But at least I have a collectors edition, eh?

I've got 4 buddy cards available, anyone care to take?

My review on "Forbidden Kingdom"

2008-05-05T20:53:00.004-04:00

Ah, spent some quality time with a Dad today. Went to see the "Forbidden Kingdom". All in all it was a great movie. Though people who arn't fans of Jet Li and Jackie Chan might be in for a disappointment.
This movie is probably going to end up as one of my favorite since I'm a huge fan of Jackie Chan Movies and Jet Li. Another reason is this movie is very loosely based off of the Monkey, Priest, Pig and Sea god series that I grew up watching. In the opening scene where the hero wakes up, an episode is playing on the TV. I'm not too sure if you can find it subbed or even dubbed for that matter. But if you really want to, check it out. Also, another thing I saw was a Sega Dreamcast under the T.V. Nice touch. Though there are no games or controllers in sight. It might have just been me though.
The meaty part of the movie is just like any other kung fu movie. Training montages, trainee whining that he's not learning any real kung fu, and all that. Though if you really nit-pick at this movie. There are a lot of plot holes. Like how the people can speak English, and in the beginning the guards happen to walk in just as the inn keeper is paid with US currency. Also, in the beginning there's a girl that he seems to be fond of but you never see her again for the rest of the movie.

That's all I'll say about the movie. I'm short on time so, yeah. So, fans of kung fu movies, Jackie Chan, or Jet Li, go watch the movies. If you're none of these, buy the DVD or rent it.

Yes, yes we are lazy asses.

2008-05-04T21:41:00.004-04:00

For those who actually pay attention to us, we sorry. ><
Yes, I know we haven't updated in awhile. But we're really time constraint... with sumer almost here. We'll start making episodes again. This time around. Out quality of our episodes will be greatly improved. Writing, camera angles and better acting. (We hope.)
We won't be releasing episodes right when summer hits though. We need a big nice long break from school. BUT I would expect we'll be releasing something about our new actor. I'm also learning web design. Expect an awesome layout sometime in... 2011. Hehe...

P.S: So there isn't a mix-up, I'm not the one who's in the beginning of the podcasts. I"m the geeky looking asian.

We're lazy asses.....

2008-02-09T12:18:00.000-05:00

Well, it's the Saturday we've all be waiting for. With a small problem. Richard and Kenny won't be here all day and Kenny is a bit sick. But let's see what we can do about it...

Behold the second episode...

2008-02-06T17:48:00.000-05:00

What is sopposed to beheld..

Kids grow up like their parents...

2008-02-05T20:48:00.000-05:00

Funny thing today. I would have had so many ways to win at ALL the arguments I have with my mother. If I opened I mouth to let out what I had planned and win the argument it would have been a great disrespect. She yells all day and critisises everything I do. Even when I don't do anything wrong. She finds something I do in the past and lectures me on it. I CAN'T FRIGGEN STAND IT ANYMORE! She wonders where I get my anger from. From her. I'm sopposed to take after my parents. But she hasn't given me A SINGLE good charateristic. Every single one of my bad habits is from her. When she makes a mistake and I critisise her. He give me an excuse. The smae one I give her when I mess up. Crisise her on that and she yells. Yells and yells and yells. She won't friggen shut the hell up. After she's gone though every tiny little wrong doing of mine. She yells some more about he things I've done in the past. But the thing is. I FIXED THOSE THINGS! God the only thing keeping me from calling Child protection services is that she's my friggen mother...

Episode updates

2008-02-02T21:56:00.000-05:00

The Valentines episode will be filmed next week. With an actual camcorder. YEAH!

The second episode is finished filming. I'm editing it. XP

"Graham Cracker Gone!"

Mesh up of posts

2008-01-28T22:59:00.000-05:00

I've got a lot of Writing to do, so let's start this.

First, news about our next episode. This should be done this or next weekend and you can expect the episode up by Valentines day. Since that'll be the theme. This time I'll be writing the script and I'll try and write a reasonable script. Opposed to the one Richie wrote, witch was fun, but got bad reviews. Expect a much better script and better video. We'll have a tri-pod this time. ^^ We're expecting to have females actors for our Valentines episode. Name will be mentioned later as of now, I have no confirmation that'll they'll actually be participating. But expect them.

Now, for me. Yay! Well, today, I signed up for high school and it's classes. Looks like I'm going for academic honors. But honestly, I don't see why they make Computer applications mandatory. by this time of age. Everyone is pretty much tech saavy.
I've also got a new computer. a FX7020 Gateway. I'm pretty damn happy. Though I haven't gotten much time wiht it though.
In my spare time. I hope to be able to play some Lord of the Rings Online. At the moment I only have the downloaded trial. Looks like I'm shelling up 20$ for it. 20$ that is almost all I have at the moment. I'll have to wait for Chinese New years for some cash.
Server: Wind-something I can't remember due to sign ups for High school.
IGN: Naiomi
Ehhh.... Let's see... I think that should be it. Until next time guys!

A moment of my life to watch as it speeds on by...

2008-01-22T23:42:00.000-05:00

At the time of this writing. it is 11:45 A.M. on a weekday. Another night of Algebra cramming. Stuck on a problem. I began to think of how my life is unfolding before me.
I see rips, creases as if refusing to stay open. Regretting and not accepting the responsibilities that are being forced upon me. But one of these rips are larger then the others. I stare at it... I began think think of my relationship as a family with my Mom and Dad. I recall at of those times. My Mom trying to help, being over protective, seeing me as something dear to her. Not ready to let go. And me yelling back in frustration when she tries to do the little that she can. Not realizing that She doesn't really understand that growing up here is so much more different then growing up in her home country. I know what I want to do with my life. but I don't what path to take to get to my destination. She's just trying to prepare me for what's to come and it's surprises. All of these extra curricular activities that I am taking. Is just her trying to reinforce that mysterious path that I'm trying my best to tread on...
My Father. Is the kind person in my family. Always understanding. Never angry, or maybe he can just keep that anger away from me so well, that I never notice it. It must be hard for him. Trying his best to be a dad. Trying to help with me with my homework. Yet, I always just brush his advice off and try and take it all on my own. not too long ago. My dad has tried to help me with my Algebra. With no avail. I know that he knows these things. It just shows that, from my understanding, that half the things we learn in school is a complete waste of our valuable life.
Both of them work so hard to provide me with what I have. Yet, I don't think I really appreciate just how much they're doing for me.
At the time of this writing, I am still working on my algebra, tired, and... a feeling that I really messed things up with the relationship with my parents. I take a look around my room, all the things I have. All the hours my parents have worked since they've gotten here, started from nothing, and now a successful restaurant that takes up so much of their time to provide me with all the things I have now....

Well, the script is done....
The Filming is done...
Now for editing...

Congratulations, you've completed "script"

2008-01-18T21:16:00.001-05:00

Well, script is done, we'll start filming tommorow.

We are IDIOTS!!!

2008-01-15T16:09:00.000-05:00

Well, we scripted our first episode. Which by the way, takes place outside...a lot... and well since we've been having very nice weather lately... we forgot it was the middle of winter. And currently, it's supposed to be 12F this Saturday. The day we will start filming. So, first episode might be a bit delayed since we will need to rewrite the script or ditch the whole episode and start from scratch...

2008-01-12T22:17:00.001-05:00

I've been messing around on Windows movie maker. Expect a Movie on youtube next weekend.

It's great day outside...

2008-01-12T11:25:00.001-05:00

Too bad I'm staying inside...

P.S: I took this picture through the wire screen...

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction...

2008-01-10T18:28:00.000-05:00

Ahh, I may not get as many "paydays" as the normal person, but when I do...

P.S:I didn't know how to turn the image...

Here we go...

2008-01-10T18:16:00.000-05:00

Well, this is me. Seem kinda like I would pick MySpace, Facebook, Or Friendster. But nope, I picked Blogger. Why? Well, I'm not really the "popular" kinda kid. So I tend to stay away from Myspace. I would've picked Deviantart, buuuut, I'm not too artistic. Just like to doodle.

That a fraction of information about me, but hey, you'll see what I'm up to so, you don't need a full history of my life.

I'll be posting often...if I feel like it. But you can always count on a post a week, probably from Friday- Sunday is when I'll post.

I know my page looks plain at the moment. But my cousin will bee adding his Photoshop/Anime pieces and his sister will be adding a comic relief to the blog every one in awhile when she feels like it. Though we end up "wasting" her time making her play co-op games with us.
