Accidentally in Love

  • Apr 25, 2008
  • Post a comment



Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

Or, to be more accurate :

What a wonderful world!

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

If you're still not humming, take this as the coup d'état:

When I wake up, well I know i'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you


But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door


When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home(When I come home), well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow-old,(When I grow-old) well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna Dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out(When I go out), well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home(When I come home), yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Yeah, yeah, I know your browser's got a back button, buddy. BITE ME! The Proclaimers yield to no man's hurry.

The magnificent point:

I (1) have mostly mastered a most EXCELLENT - insert Wyld Stallionz here- video editing programs, (2) saved several HUNDRED dollars - insert Pink Floyd Money here- during its purchase, (3) bought some long lusted after dvd Tv sets - insert Doctor Who theme here (yeah, I'm a nerd - I know already, kay?) - for half to a quarter their expected cost, (4) have met the most angelic gentleman - insert any Frankie Blue Eyes here - who takes time out of his day to smile and talk and wink at me, even though, technically, he could treat me like used toilet paper and I couldn't complain. I don't know his name and he doesn't know mine, all I do know is he makes my day when he drops by my store! He'll just be buying his paper and will come all the way across the store because he saw me and wants to say hi! A lot of customers who are - he's not ancient, just no longer in his forties - older than me seem to think I'm a "whippersnapper" or something to that effect and treat me so, but this gentleman is quite the contrary! He knows we WEE FOLKS are people just the same.

And it's looking like my doll of a sis and myself are heading for a two week stretch of asphalt, entertainment, natural wonders and GORGEOUS convertible top down weather!

Turning 22 in just under two weeks! WOOBA WOOBA!

Oh and I GOT PAID TODAY - Boom, bam, baby!

Oh, I do love Womble and respect Adobe, but Vegas ROCKS!

Expect much more intense videos soon - I had the power in Adobe to do these same effects before, but it took Adobe so damn long to render just the preview, that whatever I might earn in creativity I more than lost in man hours. And Womble, beautiful and simple as it is, had no support for multiple track processing- it's the basic tool. Like the arrow without which we'd have no projectile weapons.


Let's do it!
Let's
Fall
In
Love!

So I am accidentally in love --
with life!
People tried their damnedest, so very noble of them!, to break down my idealistic notions and optimistic big picture in a small town view on life - no need letting me set myself up for disappointment, right?
HAH! to you all.
You guys never laugh, so I guess I get the last and the first!
I say, HAH! again.
I didn't let you, and now my hopeful perseverance through a few tiny trials has paid off. Big time!

I gotta go to work at 6:43 tomorrow but I won't be able to sleep, so

Well... you didn't wake up this morning
Because you didn't go to bed..............

Got us a new car....

  • Apr 1, 2008
  • Post a comment

My twin sister and I purchased a previously-owned car on Monday. For what we consider a reasonable price, we got something good-looking, with nice power and excellent - so it seems - mileage, that is still fairly sporty- hey, we're only 21, and we don't believe young cute people with cute-ish cars can only happen in Hollywood. Cut some corners, tighten the belt a little, pray a lot and just plain ol' trust in He Who spoils those who-don't-really-deserve-it-but-are-very-grateful, it can happen. Yes, in this lifetime.

Pics coming soon, as are specs.

Excel Academy TKD work

  • Mar 25, 2008
  • Post a comment

I was commissioned to use my not-professionally-recognized, but definitely professional caliber skills to create, first a demo reel for my sister's TaeKwonDo instructor- 5th degree black belt. After the demo reel, he wanted me to work on his seminar, then create a promo for the demo reel, then create a youtube account that would be google-able.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ExcelAcademyTKD

That's my design, and my handiwork in the video.

Doomsday

  • Mar 18, 2008
  • Post a comment


No, Doomsday is not original, none of it truly is. But rather than being
straight rips or "better directorial" reinterpretations that claim to
far outshine the original - my main arguments against remakes and
sequels- these unoriginalities are tributes. You can tell this by the
delicate and almost reverent way Neil treats the scenes, with an almost
visible bow to the original genius he is honoring. Now you have to be a
true fan and very well-versed in the classics of the genre to even
notice what I’m talking about, but Neil does a masterful job of
duplicating and conglomerating, not just plot points or general scenes
but truly even the camera angles and lighting of the originals, giving
the older movies (not that they need any help) more attention by
drawing the uneducated moviegoer’s eye to the scenes that were truly
inspired. He does what I’d like to do- takes his favorite scenes and
music, creates a new plot in which they might bind seamlessly together,
and thus creates a NEW action movie that more than thrills you- it
inspires you and at the same time pays homage to the greats that went
before him. He’s an action movie junkie, like me. He has great
characters, wonderful style and - of course - tons of action. There
will be times in this movie the action junkie will lose his breath and
think, WOW! He’s trained with the greats! (Think of it like this- in reading a story, do you think less of the writer if he is capable of integrating the styles and themes of Homer and Virgil, or do you think of him as a masterful artist who hasn’t forgotten his roots?)

Now, I’ve loved Neil Marshall since his DOG SOLDIERS days, and am glad
to see him getting a bigger budget. I am also so thrilled he decided to
use it on Rhona Mitra and Bob Hoskins, two actors I greatly enjoy.
Tyler Bates seemed to be mimicking his director in this movie, by using
the opportunity to pay homage to the greats of his category - scores.
Several of the overtures will not only sound familiar- as a lot of
music does today- but if you have a really discerning ear, you’ll know
exactly what it is, and why he’s using it. Now, it’s not Scream 2
obvious, but it is fairly so.

All in all, I’ve seen it once, and I have every intention of seeing it
again.

Ten out of ten!

(PS. If you want original plots where you need a pad and pencil, and
guide notes and maybe even a chart, to follow it- try the Oscar winners
or some of those new kid’s movies. This here is an action child’s
movie, no apologies. It masquerades as nothing else. Don’t go in
expecting No Country for Old Men or Bee Movie. ESPECIALLY, Don’t post a
bad review because you misunderstood its point.)

Who I am

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt
Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt

I am .... many things, too many to express.
"Lemme 'splain.
No, there is too much.
Lemme sum up.

I work well with computers but just as well with people. Even though with people there is a greater chance, due to the inherent unpredictability of their nature, of a catastrophic system malfunction.
I work in customer service- but that's just my cover. Covertly, in the shadow of the night and the glow of days off, I'm actually a rogue videographer, crusading for a higher collective IQ in the current populace by encouraging the viewing of worthwhile and just plain better videos.
You could say I'm an anarchist, even a terrorist, though not in the conventional sense. I work against the media, which tries to convince us all various things are good and others bad. I combat them by simply but effectively saying No. I share my opinion with others, opening their minds to the fact that the media is more wrong than right, and showing them that there are other avenues available. As the media runs this country and a lot of the world, I assume this makes me an anarchist and more, though I am truly a patriot, even if what I'm patriotic to is not the state of things as they now stand, but what they used to be, what they originally stood for.

More later.
