WOW! :D
SO yesterday I became a YouTube Partner, which means I'll start making money for my original content on YouTube!
I've been wanting it for a while and finally they asked me to become a Partner!
I get all sorts of special customization options like cool banners and info boxes and I don't know, it all just looks really cool. ;]

In other cool looking news, my website is like 50% finished!
The coding is a bitch and I need to organize the folder with all the files in it, but it's coming out exactly how I pictured it so thats good.
Check it out at the following link!

Christmas

Okay so yesterday was Christmas and it was great. :D
I got ALMOST everything I asked for but I'm gonna buy the last thing today when I go out to get my camera.
They didn't have the camera I wanted to so we're going out this morning to a different store to get it.
So yeah all in all Christmas was great!

Hopefully Kathleen is coming over laterrrrrrrr :]]

Oh and I'm getting pumped for 2008 when I'm going to manage my time better, I swear ;D

Perez Hilton is back!

He featured my video on his channel!
I'm hoping lots of people will see it because all it's good for is getting more views.
As much as I love how it came out and I laugh everytime I watch it, it's just a dumb video.
It should get me some extra views and subscribers though! :D

Where is Perez Hilton?!

Perez Hilton has had his YouTube account SUSPENDED! :O
I immediately knew I wanted to make a video about it before the fiasco got popular (which I would assume that it will). Check it out right here! ;]

Do you believe in Global Warming?

Well I'm laughing at you from my computer! :]
I've finally found the big articles from Time Magazine from 1974 when the big thing was, get this, GLOBAL COOLING.
I'm not kidding.
GLOBAL COOLING was as popular as Global Warming is now back in the 70's and 80's!
Don't believe me?
I'm not surprised, being that you all try to defend your precious Global Warming theory to the point that you can't tell fact from fiction!
Here's something to help you see how silly it all is.
This is one of the big articles that was all the rage back in the 1974!

Another Ice Age?

In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada's wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy spring has delayed planting and may well bring a disappointingly small harvest. Rainy Britain, on the other hand, has suffered from uncharacteristic dry spells the past few springs. A series of unusually cold winters has gripped the American Far West, while New England and northern Europe have recently experienced the mildest winters within anyone's recollection.

As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.

Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F. Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. When Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the ice and snow cover had suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase has persisted ever since. Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for example, were once totally free of any snow in summer; now they are covered year round.

Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds —the so-called circumpolar vortex—that sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world. Indeed it is the widening of this cap of cold air that is the immediate cause of Africa's drought. By blocking moisture-bearing equatorial winds and preventing them from bringing rainfall to the parched sub-Sahara region, as well as other drought-ridden areas stretching all the way from Central America to the Middle East and India, the polar winds have in effect caused the Sahara and other deserts to reach farther to the south. Paradoxically, the same vortex has created quite different weather quirks in the U.S. and other temperate zones. As the winds swirl around the globe, their southerly portions undulate like the bottom of a skirt. Cold air is pulled down across the Western U.S. and warm air is swept up to the Northeast. The collision of air masses of widely differing temperatures and humidity can create violent storms—the Midwest's recent rash of disastrous tornadoes, for example.

Sunspot Cycle. The changing weather is apparently connected with differences in the amount of energy that the earth's surface receives from the sun. Changes in the earth's tilt and distance from the sun could, for instance, significantly increase or decrease the amount of solar radiation falling on either hemisphere—thereby altering the earth's climate. Some observers have tried to connect the eleven-year sunspot cycle with climate patterns, but have so far been unable to provide a satisfactory explanation of how the cycle might be involved.

Man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend. The University of Wisconsin's Reid A. Bryson and other climatologists suggest that dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth.

Climatic Balance. Some scientists like Donald Oilman, chief of the National Weather Service's long-range-prediction group, think that the cooling trend may be only temporary. But all agree that vastly more information is needed about the major influences on the earth's climate. Indeed, it is to gain such knowledge that 38 ships and 13 aircraft, carrying scientists from almost 70 nations, are now assembling in the Atlantic and elsewhere for a massive 100-day study of the effects of the tropical seas and atmosphere on worldwide weather. The study itself is only part of an international scientific effort known acronymically as GARP (for Global Atmospheric Research Program).

Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years.

The earth's current climate is something of an anomaly; in the past 700,000 years, there have been at least seven major episodes of glaciers spreading over much of the planet. Temperatures have been as high as they are now only about 5% of the time. But there is a peril more immediate than the prospect of another ice age. Even if temperature and rainfall patterns change only slightly in the near future in one or more of the three major grain-exporting countries—the U.S., Canada and Australia —global food stores would be sharply reduced. University of Toronto Climatologist Kenneth Hare, a former president of the Royal Meteorological Society, believes that the continuing drought and the recent failure of the Russian harvest gave the world a grim premonition of what might happen. Warns Hare: "I don't believe that the world's present population is sustainable if there are more than three years like 1972 in a row."

_______________________________________________

Still don't believe me?
Then ask the scientists what they think.
They sat Al Gore down last month and told him to his face that he is wrong.
Then Al Gore proceeded to shout NO NO NO and he flew away into the sky!
Lmao well that's not true of course, but they DID tell him he's wrong.
Whether he accepted the truth or not, I'm not aware (but I doubt it).

Also the most obvious thing is that 2/3's of the country is covered in snow right now and kids have full weeks off from school because of it. I find it funny that people don't realize that. x]

To those of you who STILL believe Global Warming is real, have fun with your little theories and charts and silliness while the rest of the smart people enjoy an extremely cold winter! :D

It's a very boring Sunday.

I hate days like today.
They're unbelievably boring and nothing gets done!
Well actually I'll probably clean my room and maybe work on music,
but other than that I just want to fall asleep for the rest of the day haha.

On Friday Kathleen came over and then we went to see I Am Legend. The theater was PACKED and the movie was AMAAAAAAZING! :DDDD It was one of the best movies of the year and possibly one of my favorites ever. I love love LOVED it! :D Kat loved it too! Everyone loved it! XP

Then last night was Alexa's Christmas party! That was fun and we took so many hilarious pictures and videos that I can't wait to see at some point today. XD

I'm gonna go look for some food and then I'm gonna clean my room.
So long!

Push Play!

Last night was the Push Play show at Pat/Med and it was alottttt of fun! :D
I couldn't dance or move around or anything but it was still great!
And I'm checking out one of the bands that played, Lights Resolve, because they sounded awesome.
I wanna try to go see them at the Crazy Donkey next Wednesday.
We'll see what happens. x]

Now I'm pumped to go see Angels And Airwaves in February in the city! :DDD
But that's still a few months away.
Then it's Bamboozle in May and Warped Tour in August!
It's going to be great next year. :P

Right I'm trying to find the Dual-Monitor Adapter I want and I'm waiting for the results of the What The Buck contest! :O

That's about it for now.
Laterrrrrr!

Thursday, November 29, 2007

I made it to 500 subscribers on YouTube!

My short term goal since two or three weeks ago was to get 500 subscribers on my YouTube channel by Christmas!
Well I'm really happy because I made it before December even got here!
500th subscriber subscribed last night after I got off the computer! :]]]
I commented them to thank them and stuff so it's all good.

I just think that's really awesome.
I'm ALSO in a good mood because by the time I get home from school today, EricStriffler.com should be ready to have stuff uploaded to it! :D

Alright that's about it for now!

Laterr!

Friday, November 23, 2007

City today!

Today we're going to the city with our cousins who are visiting from North Carolina.
It' should be fun and cold as hell! :D
I'm gonna look for some bootleg DVDs while I'm there. ;]

Also something crummy happened to my YouTube Channel but luckilly it's most likely gonna end up working out for the better haha.
Here's a video explaining the whole situation.


So on Wednesday Charlotte and I went to the mall as a banana and a monkey.
The video is up on my YouTube Channel.
It was soooooo much fun haha. x]

And that's about it.
Tomorrow Kat is hopefully coming over! :]
Then Sunday I'd like to go to the mall again to take a picture with Santa with Kevin and Jordan.
Then I want to play music with them, so we'll see what happens.

Monday, November 12, 2007

Freedom!

I'm no longer busy.
No more due dates, no more footage to edit, nothing.
Now I can start doing other things like work on music and videos. :D

That's all for now, we'll see what today brings.

Sunday, November 11, 2007

It's November 11th

I'm extreeeeeemely happy! :D
I love you so so so so so so so so so so so much, Kathleen Flannery. :]]]
Happy one year! :]

Friday, November 9, 2007

I've been retardedly busy recently

I'm finally free from being busy this weekend.
I've had so much video footage to edit, so many school things because the quarter just ended, and so much I don't even know. I've just been really busy but thank God it's finally over soon.
Well I mean it seems like it should be over by the weekend.
I'm almost done with editing, the quarter FINALLY ended, and yeah.

So this Monday we're going to probably start working on Lights Out, which is the new band I'm in with Kevin and Jordan. Who knows how long this one will last lmao. All I know is this time we all love the exact same music so that is a definite plus haha.

And I want to film Imaginary Friend soon! :D

That's about it for now.
Maybe when I'm totally done being busy I'll post more.

Sunday, October 28, 2007

Haven't posted in like two weeks!

I've been insanely busy with Spooky Walk and other things,
but it's all coming to an end and I'm actually glad.
Spooky Walk was kinda disappointing this year.
Our stuff wasn't as great because it rained and we're outside, so some of it got a little messed up.
And the houses weren't that great this year, and they have no excuse because the weather doesn't affect them haha.
I'm really hoping that everyone takes advantage of the fact that next year is the 20th year and they do a really great job.
If we spend more time this coming year to make it better, we can use the same stuff for the next few years before it needs to be fixed up again!

Well anyway, back to other news.
I saw SAW IV this past Friday at midnight. It was the very first showing.
It was so exciting to be there for the first one. :D
I'd have to say that at first I was so confused by the big twist that I was disappointed. But now that I totally understand it I think it's very good and the writing was really clever in how they got us to not realize what was going on.
Only one of the twists I still think is kinda lame, but it's much better now that I know everything about it. ;]
ALSO Halloween is on Wednesday and I'm excited! :D
But I'm also getting excited for the winter, so it's almost overpowering Halloween!
The Fall was lame this year, I'll admit it.
I called it ahead of time that it was gonna be lame so I'm not surprised.
Next year, however, should be great.
I'll try to make it great.
Mostly it's the Spooky Walk that needs alot of help haha.
If my plan for building our exhibit works,
I won't be busy at all every weekend of October like I was this past year! :D
That'll be a HUGE difference than every other year.
It'll be sick.

AND CHRISTMAS PARADE THIS YEAR! :D
I'm pumpeddddddd! :D

That's it for now!

Thursday, October 18, 2007

The Spooky Walk opens tomorrow night!

I'm not excited now, but I'm sure I will be once people start coming through just because it's fun to scare people. :D
I'm not enjoying it very much this year for a few reasons, and one reason is because it's the 19th year.
No one else seems to understand my logic lmao.
The 19th year is lame...like 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, etc are cool.
Anything in between is just...whatever.
Therefore NEXT YEAR will be the best year yet.
I'm gonna try to convince Mrs. Weiss to go all out and do a radio commercial and revamp the whole thing.
New signs, new website, etc.
And hopefully we'll get a house! :D

Well I'm already looking forward to next year because the only reason I'll enjoy this year is because scaring people is hilarious. :P

One great thing if we get a house next year is that it'll be MUCH easier to work on.
The woods is so unorganized, no matter how hard we try to keep it organized every year.
Wires are just running everywhere and it's a mess.
You wouldn't know it's a mess unless you worked on it though, so whatever.
A house would be ten times easier and more fun to work on.
I'm crossing my fingers that we'll get the empty part of T-Building.
If we don't get that then I think I'd actually prefer the woods.

I can't wait for Halloween itself!
I want to be done with the Spooky Walk and get to the good stuff; Halloween, seeing the school show with Kat :]]], working on short films, and stuff like that.

That's about it for now.
I'm still obsessed with Streets Of Rage, in case you can't tell from my LastFM widget on the right. ;]

Laterr!

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

Spooky Walk opens this Friday!

I'm getting pumped as hell for the Spooky Walk to open this Friday.
It's not gonna be the best year but it's still fun to scare the shit out of people! :D
Unfortunately I have to get up early the next day for the PSAT.
Oh well, no big deal haha.

ANd I'm currently obsessed with Streets Of Rage.

That's about it.
Lata hatazzzzz!

Bayville Scream Park

Alright so we went to Bayville Scream Park last night and I have to admit, I was surprised by the fact that it was a little better than last year. They still need to hire MORE actors, but at least they did have more than last year (I could have probably counted last year's staff on my fingers). They just need some more actors and it would be great.
Bloodworth Manor and Uncle Needle's Funhouse of Fear are the only things worth going in. The Temple of Terror is annoying as hell (like last year) and the Pirates were okay. Actually I guess the pirates were worth going to as well. But either way, the two houses in the big warehouse were worth it.
The sets really are amazing, so are the animatronics and stuff like that. Only other problem I have is that they should put on a roof because right now you look up and see the roof of the warehouse another 30 feet up. Oh well, it's only a small problem.

So in conclusion it was alot of fun. With more actors and a roof, Bayville Scream Park would be MUCH better. I'd suggest it to people now but I'd tell them to only go to the first two houses and MAYBE the Pirates.

Darkside Haunted House

We went to Darkside last night!
As usual, we were the first group of the season (three years in a row) and we got to go in again for free!
We also spoke with the guy who runs it for a little while and it was fun.
This was their 10th year anniversary and I think it was the best year yet.
Although it was mostly the same as it usually is, there were some things fixed up and there were some new effects.
The ONE problem I have with Darkside is that it doesn't compare to Spooky Walk at all.
Darkside is about 10 minutes TOPS, while Spooky Walk lasts about an hour.
Also the price is less at Spooky Walk than at Darkside, so you really get your money's worth.
However Darkside is alot of fun and they do an amazing job with their effects and actors.
Everyone on LI has to go check it out at some point this Halloween season!

And I love this :]]]

Wednesday, October 3, 2007

I GOT MY NEW CAMERA! :D

I finally got my new camera today!
It's the Sony HDR-SR5 and it's amazing!

It records in 1080i HD with 5.1 Dobly Digital Surround Sound, it records onto a 40gb hard drive or a memory card, AND it has real night vision (which I've used many times already since I got it)!
Click here to read more about it on Sony's website!
It's basically the exact perfect camera I was looking for. :D

I'll have lots of new videos on YouTube using it, so check them out when they're up!

Nightmare: Ghost Stories in NYC

HOLY CRAP.
I thought it was awesome last year, but this year it was TEN TIMES AWESOMERRR! :D
The only thing I liked last year that wasn't really in this year's house was that there was more interaction between guests and actors, but this year had so many more insane effects so it didn't matter!
I don't want to give away too much because I want other people to go check it out,
but it starts off RIGHT away with a bang and doesn't let up until the very end. :D
The actors were GREAT, they were all really into it. None of them seemed unmotivated at all, I guess they get paid alot. ;] Haha but no they really were great. And the visual effects they pulled off were AMAZING. I don't know how they came up with a few of those things. Timothy Haskell is a damn genious when it comes to haunted houses.
OH THAT REMINDS ME! I MET TIMOTHY HASKELL, THE CREATOR OF NIGHTMARE, AFTER WE CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE! :DDDDDDD It was awesome haha.
Anyways also you might want to pass on this one if you're really claustrophobic. I'd say there was about enough room for 1 person to squeeze through in alot of the hallways. It's NOT wheelchair accessible (or fat person accessible I guess lmao).
The maze was cool too, just a maze with some people in it basically. What made that good is that the people were not only relentless in following us around, but they had some good lines and good scares.

All in all, you're a damn fool if you don't go check out Nightmare: Ghost Stories!
It's in the lower east side of Manhattan in the CSV Cultural Center.
Here's a link to the official website - www.hauntedhousenyc.com

Scandal! Lies! Wheelies!

So today suddenly got very exciting a little while ago when Kevin told me that according to someone working at the camp on Saturday, we were "doing wheelies, driving on the main road, and jumping off the carts"!
If we weren't sorta in trouble-ish, I'd find it to be hilarious and I'd enjoy picturing us doing those things!
However this time it's false, I wouldn't do stuff like that at the camp and risk getting in trouble.
Now we just have to tell the guy that claims he watched us do these things (lmfao) that we did NOT do them and hopefully get the sound system we were going to use for the Spooky Walk back.

In other news, I put up two new songs on my music MySpace!
Click this picture to check them out! :D


In OTHER other news, I put up the first episode of "Creating The Black Woods"!
Click this picture to watch it in YouTube! :D


And that's all for now!

OH and I stayed home sick today!
That's it haha.

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

This week is going really well so far!

Yesterday I stayed after with Kat and then took her late bus home to her house and then we walked to get pizza. :D
And then when I got home I finished recording another song, so now I only have like 1 more song to go plus I'm adding a bass beat to the blog song.
Hooray for creativity! :D

Haha now I'm going to school.
Gym today finally! :D

Sunday, September 16, 2007

The weekend is finally over!

I made it out alive! :D
Everyone is home, now I can stop being bored to death.

Okay I'm gonna go wait to take a shower,
then I'm going to bed.

Lata kidzzz

Saturday, September 15, 2007

I'm actually surviving the weekend!

I thought it would be boring as hell but it won't be so bad.
Yesterday my mom and I got Chinese food and then rented The Night Listener (which was really good and creepy).
Today we're going to get Friendly's for lunch and ICE CREAM. :D
Then we're going to Best Buy to get me new headphones for my iPod.
THEN we're going to see The Brave One at Island 16.
Wooo!!!

Tomorrow I'll have something to do too,
so that's good. ;D

Friday, September 14, 2007

This weekend is going to be so boring!

Everyone's gone for some reason!
Like literally everyone is gone.
I'm not gonna be able to get any Spooky Walk stuff done or anything.
I'm going to end up working on music and finishing like 2 or 3 songs haha.

Oh well, whatever.
I'm going to stock up on more candy later,
then maybe my mom and I are going to Friendly's for ice cream. :D

Duck BBQ at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck

Today Kevin and I volunteered at the Duck Races/Duck BBQ at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck.
Some hilarioussssss shit happened of course haha.
For a while everything was fine, Kevin was helping at the lake and I was on garbage duty, but eventually something happened! :O
We got radioed that some kids stole a golf cart and we were given orders to hop into a cart and go through the trails to find it. So Kevin and I were ripping through the trails on the golf cart and we rode to the train tracks. We got out and looked up and down the tracks and sure enough we see two guys walking towards us. So Kevin suggests we get the hell back in the cart and leave and I agreed haha. We rode back, but then decided to go see if the cart was sitting in the trail and turned around. We're halfway there when we see the guys RIGHT in front of us standing there. Kevin hit the brakes and we just sat there staring at them while they stared at us. I quietly whispered "reverse" and Kevin slowly put the cart into reverse. Then he slowly started to back up. The guys started wlaking towards us and Kevin put it in full gear and we shot backwards. So I'm holding on to the top and Kevin's is looking back trying to steer it in reverse as I see these guys coming for us lmao. Finally Kevin got to a clearing and turned it around and we got out.
Later those guys were found and taken to be asked about the cart, they said they knew nothing about it.
The cart was later found in the trail with a dead battery lmao.

Anyway it was a really fun day, work aside. I can't wait to start working on the Spooky Walk there! :D

Saturday, September 8, 2007

Kevin and I had a contest...

to see who could make the funniest Christmas Card out of the Vanessa Hudgens nude picture that surfaced recently online.
I do not think this picture is real, I think it MIGHT be fake.
The description of the real one is different than this one,
but regardless it's apparently real.
I think the winner of our little contest is clearly apparent. ;]

Here's MY entry! :DDD

I think they're both hysterical lmfao I hope you all like them. XD

And here's Kevin's entry:


Click them both to make them bigger!

Anyway tomorrow is the Duck BBQ at Camp P, and that's about all I'm doing haha.

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

First day of school!

The first day was today and it was awesomeeeeeeee.
However I HAVE to switch out of World History Through Movies or I'll kill myself.
It's TERRIBLE!
I better be able to switch into something else haha.

In other news, the new iPod was unveiled today and me and Kevin are shitting ourselves over it! :D
Check it out at Apple.com!

Anddddd that's about it! :D

Monday, September 3, 2007

My computer hasn't been working, but now it is!

Now I can finally find things out again.
It's insanely hard to keep up with stuff when you have no internet access!
For instance, I was a day late seeing the Saw 4 teaser trailer! :O It's amazing, I love it. :D
Well anyway, I've been reinstalling programs and stuff, and tomorrow I'll get up early to start transferring files from my downstairs computer to this one (with a brand new 250 gb hard drive! :D). I moved all my files to my downstairs computer prior to wiping out the hard drive, then we found out it was broken and worthless, then we got a new one, now I'm posting a blog! :D
Haha okay enough of this, there's not much to talk about.
OH except I almost cried with extreme joy when me and Kevin finished the Spooky Walk sign! :]]]]]]]
It came out AMAZING!

Anyway, I'll post again tomorrow when I'm not as busy.
Lata hatazzz!

I'm NOT in the Heinz Contest Top 15!

Yes, it's unfortunate. I didn't make it into the Top 15. HOWEVER I'm not sad at all!
Due to the amount of entries in the contest, they're doing the same exact contest again this October! It's called Top This Take Two!
This is actually great news, because now I can resubmit My Best Friend with the new music I wrote for it (it's the same music but with some other notes in it) and I can blur out the brands in the background of I Heart Heinz and enter THAT again too!

For now, go and watch the Top 15 entries if you want at TopThisTV.com, but starting this October I'm going to enter again so keep watching for my entries!

Also, I want to thank everyone for their support up to this point. I had ALOT of people who planned on voting for me, so thanks alot to all of you! :D

PS. I don't think Chip Johnosn, Justin Kady, or Dan Raleigh's entries are good enough for the Top 15. And I think Joseph Garner and Jeremiah Jones' entries are incredible, but unfair to anyone else without that technology. Those might as well have been made by professionals (as I'm sure they were) rather than by the public. Oh well, they did come out amazing. :P

Sunday, August 26, 2007

Our fridge isn't working!

My cereal for the past few days has been cold as ice because we had to pack everything into the freezer to keep it cold.
Someone's coming tomorrow to fix it, thank Godddd.
It would suck if everything just went bad lmao.
Oh well, I didn't pay for it. :D

Kevin and I started working on the Spooky Walk a month earlier than last year.
We're already like 75% done with the entrance sign! :DDDDDD
I'm so pumped for it haha.

I don't think I', doing much of anything today.
I MIGHT be hanging out with Kevin but I have no idea.

It's Monday

That means that in exactly ONE week I'll find out if I made it into the Top 15 of the Heinz contest. I really really REALLY hope I make it in. I guess we'll find out soon.

Hmm what else..? Nothing's really going on today except that I'm hopefully going to Kat's house later. :] I have to go to the damn ortho though so if it doesn't take too long I can hopefully go.

Anddddd I think that's about it. There's really not much going on haha. :P

Superbad was super hilarious!

I saw Superbad with Leighann today and we were basically cracking up at EVERY line!
Everyone else was too, because a guy behind me actually said "we're cracking up at every line!" :D
It was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, for realz.
The first act was HILARIOUS, the second act kinda got calmer but still funny, and the third act went back to hilarious.
Anyway everyone should definitely go see it, although I doubt adults will even like it haha. I guess it depends on the person. Every teenager will like it though. :D

We were supposed to work on the sign for the entrance to our Spooky Walk exhibit but those plans failed. Hopefully me and Kevin will do it during this week at some point because I want to get it done. Then after this weekend we can start going to the camp to build the framework for the parts we need covered.

Lata hataz!

I'm bored again today!

I was bored yesterday and now I'm bored today, but that's okay because I know tomorrow is the carnival finally! :]
I'm reeeeeeeally excited for it.

And now I'm also totally excited for the Fall. I tried to hold back but I give up lmao. I finished the Spooky Walk site and site for The Black Woods. The Black Woods site will be up tonight, and the Spooky Walk site will be up when I hear back from the guy who does it now.

Okay I'm gonna go TRY to find something else to do.

My computer hasn't been working!

My computer got messed up, AS USUAL, so I haven't posted anything.
Anyway hi.

Friday I took Kat to dinner, Saturday was Kat's birthday, Sunday we went to Louie's house, and today I'm hopefully going to Kat's house. :]

I can't believe Rush Hour 3 beat out The Bourne Ultimatum at the box office lmao.
That's so hilarious. XD

Yep, not much going on...

PS. Try IMing SmarterChild and saying something like "I'm gonna kill myself" or "I'm gonna commit suicide"! He won't respond! XD

These things keep making me more and more excited for the fall!

This movie, "Trick 'r Treat", looks AWESOME. I love movies based around Halloween, and so far there are two this year; the Halloween remake and now Trick 'r Treat! :D



I was trying to not get excited about Halloween so early, but I can't help it. If I hadn't seen these movie trailers I might not get excited so early. But I did. ;]

Well the Heinz contest is officially closed!

Now the judges are watching the 2,500+ entries and choosing the Top 15.
I really hope I make it in.
I'm so nervous that I won't and that's the end. At least if I make it into the Top 15 it'll be exciting, whether I win or not. If I don't, that's it haha.

If I make it into the Top 15, I'm pretty sure I can win it by just whoring my entry everywhere and telling everyone to vote haha.

I really want to know who's in the Top 15! August 27th can't come soon enoughhhh!

Warped Tour recap

Okay so Warped Tour was amazing this year, like it usually is. I was smart this time though and crowd surfed/moshed every chance I got. I usually don't want to because I don't want to lose Rowe haha, but I did'nt lose him any time because I just found my way back to him. Same with when he did it. Fun as helllllll. :D
I've got a cut on my neck, a pain in my side, and my foot wouldn't move for afew minutes! :O Now it's fine, but still lol. Weeeeeeeeird.
Everyone in Forever The Sickest Kids signed my shirt and I took pictures with two of them. :D They were probably my favorite. I want to go see them again somewhere!

It's my mom's birthday so I gotta go see what's going on.
Lata hatazzzz

Saturday, August 4, 2007

My shortest blog so far.

I'm too tired and sore to write about all of today's events haha.
Warped Tour was amazing, I'll talk about it tomorrow. :D

Warped Tour soon!

It's like 7:00 in the morning and I had to get up early to upload my final Heinz entry to YouTube before I left for Warped. My damn computer shut off last night because of a power surge RIGHT after I finished editing the commercial. UGH. Whatever, go watch it now! :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j49NL3p2Npk
I hope you enjoy it!

Anddddddddd I'm leaving soon for Warped!
I'll be back much later, and then I have to put pictures of Kevin in his get-up from the commercial on Facebook and MySpace and such. XD

Filming my last Heinz contest entry today!

Today's the day of filming for my last entry! I'm really excited and nervous; excited because if it comes out right it'll be great, nervous because I think we're gonna get stopped by King Kullen employees very quickly so we have to work fast. I mean Kevin will be in a diaper sort of thing... ;] That's all I can say for now haha. :D

So I'm going to take a shower, eat some breakfast, get some stuff ready for shooting, then when Kevin is done at Gateway rehearsals he's coming over and we're heading to King Kullen to film! :D

Oh and I need to get to bed early tonight because tomorrow is Warped Tour and I don't want to be tired. :]

My video is on it's way to California!

Someone came to pick it up and deliver it a few minutes ago and now it's finally on it's way.
It's going there Overnight-Express because they're going to start filming next week and they needed my video to start. Hopefully everything goes fine with it. I can imagine it accidentally getting smashed lmao. XP

Listening to Midnight Syndicate today hasn't been helping me keep myself from getting excited for the Fall. Another thing that didn't help was THIS E-MAIL I got from FrightCatalog!
But that's okay because I'm gonna get excited soon anyway. :]

Carnival soon! :D

New Halloween Trailer

Here's the trailer I was talking about yesterday. It looks great! :D

Why doesn't anyone sell bow and arrow sets?

I can't find the last thing I need to film my final Heinz contest entry: a bow and arrow set! Instead I'm gonna do it myself haha. I bought thin wooden dowels to make an arrow and I'm going to make a bow out of sticks and twine tomorrow lmaoo. This should be interesting. Other than that, I got all the parts I need. :D

Oh by the way, the new trailer for Rob Zombie's Halloween remake premiered online today and it got me reeeeeeally excited to see it haha. It's gonna be sweeeeet! ;]]]]

I'm going to bed because I'm tired as hell!
Carnival tomorrow! :D

I'm gone. ;]

More news about the TV show I'll be on in the Fall + Heinz contest!

Today I found out while talking to the people from The CW that I'm going to be on the THIRD EPISODE. Yes that is the THIRD (3rd) EPISODE. Haha I hope it's clear what episode I'll be on (the third one) so you can watch it! They're going to be filming the episode I'm on next week, so they're sending someone to my house tomorrow to pick up a CD with my videos on it.

Now the show premieres on Sunday, September 23rd at 7:30 on The CW (Channel 11). If my math is correct (which it is since I checked on my computer's calendar), the episode I'm in should be airing on October 7th which is two weeks later. I think that would be the third episode haha. I'll tell you all for sure when they let me know I guess.

Other important-ish news is that the Heinz Ketchup Commercial contest deadline is Monday, August 6th! :O If you haven't seen my entries into the contest, CLICK HERE to see both. I'm going out later with my dad to pick up supplies for the last entry I'm filming on Friday. Then I'm done and I have to cross my fingers that I make it into the Top 15. If I DO make it into the Top 15, I need EVERYONE to go to the website and vote for me. Then I need you to tell everyone you know to vote for me as well, and so on.

And now I'm gonna go continue to be bored out of my mind.

Jake is very excited about the huge news!

CLICK HERE!

Lmaooo!

I'm going to be on The CW Channel 11!

That's right! I'm going to be on The CW, formerly The WB, home to Smallville and probably reruns of The OC! Haha I've been talking to people from the network since yesterday afternoon when THEY contacted ME about using one or more of my videos in a new show coming this fall called Online Nation. It looks like it should be a pretty funny show! All I care about really is the fact that one or more of my videos will be on it. ;]
CLICK HERE to see a screenshot of my Inbox on my Yahoo! Mail with e-mails from the people at The CW! :D

So this is pretty huge. If I win the Heinz contest I'll be all over TV! Haha that would be sweeeeeet! ;] But for now all I know is that they sent me a bunch of paperwork to read and fill out. Legal stuff haha. Then I have to mail that to them in CA and they'll get back to me about more details.

When I know more and the date of the episode my video(s) will be in, I'll let everyone know!

PS. That was the huge news I was referring to last night. ;]

HUGE NEWS!

I have some HUGE NEWS that I can't talk about yet! All I can tell you is that it is HUUUUUGE NEWS! I can't wait to talk about it more tomorrow, I don't have time now. I have to go read a few pages of paperwork and fill out some forms related to the HUGE NEWS! ;]

Have a good night, everyone! :D

My computer is a piece of crap!

Every time the power goes out (which it went out twice, due to the bad weather), it takes like 2 or 3 hours for it to reboot! I don't know why! I mean I used to have all of my editing programs on this one until I got my own computer, but now they're all gone! All the programs, all of Jill's Sims games, everything! Ugh, I don't get it!

Well anyway, now it's sort of working so I can post in my blog, which I told myself I'd actually use! :D

Today was pretty uneventful, except I got to see Kat for a few minutes. :]]]]]]
And I had some cookies and a buttered bagel and that's about it lmao.
Oh but, I think I've decided on a final layout for our Spooky Walk exhibit. I'll see what Kevin thinks and then I guess I'll start drawing it out and whatever. It's not even August, so I don't really want to get that into it yet. I love doing the Spooky Walk, but I don't love it THAT much haha. ;]

OH AND LASTLY, I have to film my last Heinz commercial at some point this week! :O
I'll hopefully get it done by Wednesday or Thursday, so we'll see how that goes.

SAW IV Receives An R Rating!

Thank God, they decided to cut the movie to give it an R rating. Every year the Saw movies start out with an NC-17 rating and then they cut them down to get to them to R. I was worried this year that they'd leave it as NC-17 and I wouldn't be able to see it in theaters, which would be terrible haha. Luckily though, it's confirmed that they're cutting it down. Click here to read the full story.

In other news, I'm going to the Riverhead Raceway tonight and I'm hoping it doesn't rain!
In other other news, I'm very hungry and there's no food to eat in my house!

First post!

How exciting! Haha, but not really!
Okay so I said "goodbye" to GreatestJournal because I like these MUCH better.
I'll actually use this blog, I swear, so subscribe to it if you want!
I have to go out somewhere now, but I'm still working on this thing.
I'm going to change some colors and stuff but for the most part, it's done! :D

I started using Facebook again because some people only have a Facebook and I want to talk to them haha.
Look me up, I don't know how to get the link to my page.
MySpace is better, but whatever. ;]
