Mostly, its just bits and pieces from my mind, in a blog.wtfitsdanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698419991689816838noreply@blogger.comBlogger50125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972048456324806147.post-22218086531235405592010-03-26T21:29:00.000-05:002010-03-26T21:30:16.275-05:00Spring BreakLooks like I forgot to tell my readers that I am going on vacation.<br /><br />Well, I'm back now. I took a trip to Dallas, just to get away for a bit with my dad. It was a great trip. I originally was going to Six Flags, but due to the weather, I couldn't. Instead, I spent most of the trip at stores looking for parts for my new gaming computer. Now that it is complete, it looks so insane. I can't wait to use it on Guild Wars (which I bought today). <br /><br />Anyways, I simply love the way Dallas has turned out. I grew up in the suburbs of Dallas (Grapevine) for a good 8 years of my life, and I loved it. To go back 8 years later, it is amazing to see the growth of the city, and to see how much has stayed the same. <br /><br />I love Texas.<br /><br />Since I had such a great trip, and it is spring break, I will be making a mixtape to sum up the sounds of my trip.wtfitsdanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698419991689816838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972048456324806147.post-29111211661056980042010-03-01T20:57:00.004-06:002010-03-01T21:13:35.753-06:00The Crazies: Movie Review<img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 137px; height: 200px;" src="http://i49.tinypic.com/30rxok4.jpg" border="0" alt="" />So, Yesterday I went and saw the movie The Crazies.<div><br /></div><div>If you do not know what the movie is about, here is a brief summary. </div>As a toxin begins to turn the residents of Ogden Marsh, Iowa into violent psychopaths, sheriff David Dutton (Olyphant) tries to make sense of the situation while he, his wife (Mitchell), and two other unaffected townspeople band together in a fight for survival.<div><br /></div><div>This movie was actually a remake, but I did not see the original. I will talk to a friend of mine to see if he has it so then I can give you the review of the old one. </div><div><br /></div><div>In The Crazies, the movie started off pretty slow, giving you a vivid background of the town. As soon as the first sign of the outbreak, the movie took off. There was no lack of action in this movie once it got started. During the climax of this movie, all of the jump scenes were totally predictable. The soundtrack gave all of them away. Also, the ending [of which I will not say] made me mad. </div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, the movie was good, though it could have been much better. <b>I give this movie a 7/10.</b></div>wtfitsdanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698419991689816838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972048456324806147.post-32629915649444224932010-02-23T22:14:00.003-06:002010-02-25T01:09:31.870-06:00School Spirit WeeksAnyone who has gone to, or is going to a public school should know of "Spirit Week."<div>What this is, is a week where the school tells students what outfits to wear as a theme for the day.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, as my readers may wonder, "Why are you typing this?" Well my readers, I have an answer.</div><div><br /></div><div>For the week the only theme has been Pajama day. Thursday and Friday are Decade Day and School Colors. Tomorrow is <b>nerd day</b>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Nerd Day? What the hell is this. I do believe that the term nerd has been stereotyped beyond all repair, and also, isin't that a name that could be deemed bullying? This seems kind of hypocritical of the school. I already know what I will see tomorrow. I will see tons of people in short shorts, suspenders, white button ups with pocket protectors, and fake Ray Bans. This is wrong on many levels. Wearing any of those does not make you a nerd. Amongst all of the urban dictionary definitions I feel like the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nerd&defid=1632016">13th is the most accurate in todays society</a>. If you search Google Images for the word Nerd, all of what you will see, is what I will be seeing tomorrow. I personally believe that this school [for lack of better word] holiday is demeaning, and is wrong.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, Decade Day. All I will be seeing for that is tie-dye and fake afro's. This is also another school [and again, for lack of better word] holiday I personally do not like. There was more to our past then tie-dye and afro's. There was the entire generation before that, where people were formally dressed, or just really any other era other then what most people make the past to be. </div><div><br /></div><div>So [if or] when you participate in these school holidays, think of what they really mean, and how they could affect other people.</div><div><br /></div><div>Just remember, The guys you call 'Nerd' and 'Geek,' will one day be your boss.</div>wtfitsdanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698419991689816838noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972048456324806147.post-88834958137546416522010-02-23T00:14:00.004-06:002010-02-23T00:26:11.520-06:00Movie Prediction for 2010I honestly believe that 2010 will be a great year for movies. So far, I have seen multiple previews for movies that I would go and wait in line for to go see opening day. For me, that is saying a lot. I think that the movie industries are finally learning what people want to see.

This blog posts people with modern artwork, sweet looking houses, and just random pieces of architecture. This blog shows some crazy images of houses that people have. I have gotten many ideas for when I want to build a house. Just looking through these pictures will make you have a different view and appreciate art that much more.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For this week, that is it.

With this connectivity, it seems flawless.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In Depth Look</b>: Most people have moved past AIM onto other messengers such as MSN or Skype. AIM is hardly used today and has features that are out of date. For anyone on a mac that uses AIM usually connects to it through iChat or some other chat program that supports different messengers.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>LLIOF Conclusion</b>: A great concept that should be used in more in later projects. Since I am on a mac, it seems like too much of a hassle for me, and I would much rather use <a href="http://www.gabtastik.com/GabtastikMac.html">Gabtastik</a> or the intergraded chat itself. I give this new feature a three out of five.</div><div><br /></div>wtfitsdanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698419991689816838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972048456324806147.post-24631102356856458232010-02-08T20:09:00.003-06:002010-02-08T21:58:24.482-06:00A Simple Thank YouIn the past few years I have realized how much kindness can really be a mood changer.<div><br /></div><div>Over the weekend I read an e-mail I got from James Worrell. You might know this name because I used his <a href="http://liarliariceonfire.blogspot.com/2009/11/stop-animation.html">stop-animation video in my blog back in november</a>. I got an e-mail from him saying a simple thanks for using his video, and also complimenting my blog. This was such a nice message being the first piece of feedback I had gotten about my blog from someone I don't know. Thank you James Worrell, for your kind e-mail reply complimenting me and my blog. Check out his site over at <a href="http://www.jamesworrell.net/">jamesworrell.net</a> and his blog <a href="http://www.lessismoreworrell.net/">lessismoreworrell.net</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now to the main point of my blog. Kindness and chivalry can improve any persons day. Some people say chivalry is dead. I think that it is not. Now, it isint always common, but I still see it. Even something as simple as holding a door open for a stranger, or giving someone a piece of gum. The littlest things can be such great gifts.</div><div><br /></div><div>I do realize that this blog is not going in any direction.</div><div><br /></div><div>One thing I'd like to mention in a blog about kindness and such, is the <a href="http://www.values.com/">Foundation for A Better Life</a>. I'm sure if you own a t.v., then you've seen their t.v. spots. What is it exactly?</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"</i><i>The Foundation for a Better Life is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2000 to promote positive values. The Foundation creates public service campaigns to communicate these positive values, such as honesty, caring, optimism, hard work, and helping others, in order to make a difference in communities. Viewers are encouraged to step up to a higher level and to pass on positive values. These seemingly small examples of individuals living vales-based lives may not change the world, but collectively they make a difference. After all, developing values and then passing them on to others is The Foundation for a Better Life"</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>I was reading around. They do not accept any donations and are not affiliated with any religion. So basically, it is 100% for the people.

It was very sad learning this when I woke up. I knew it was coming on monday. I just had no idea that it would be this fast. I am heart broken, by far. I have accepted it though. We did not let her die, because we did not want her to suffer. We had to put her down, because by tomorrow, she probably could have not walked. </div><div><br /></div><div>When my family and I got her around 9 years ago, it was great. The first time I saw her was in a parking lot, with the rest of her brothers and sisters. I was petting the other dogs, and then she came up to me. She would not leave my side. A few weeks later, I come home, and I see my dog, sleeping, in my floor. My parents then told me that she had been bitten by a snake, and would be very sore. The doctors said that she could have very easily died, but something helped her pull through. Throughout the years of having her, she taught me how to love. My dog was the most non selfish thing that ever lived. If someone was sad, she would come up, and lay by them. With random licks, she showed everyone that she loved them. Anyone who walked through out door, she greeted with jumping up and down excitement, and a wagging tail. Everyone that met her, loved her. Within the past few months, she started to get really sore and limp. My dad took her to the vet and learned that she was having some problems. Throughout the last few weeks, she could barely walk, and always had her tail tucked. She started spending more time outside, and away from everyone. She barely ate or drank. Then last night, my dog spent a good time out doors. She could barely walk. My dad decided that it was time. He told me that the dog enjoyed her ride there, she knew what time it was.</div><div><br /></div><div>She lived a great life, getting a walk every day and playing catch or whatever. I am grateful that I got to spend my life with her.</div><div><br /></div><div>Around a month ago, my friend sent me the video of Oden. A dog, with an amazing story behind it.</div><div>Everything Jason Wood said about his dog Oden, is true about mine.

Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr. aka Jay Reatard, aged 29, died yesterday. As of right now they know that he died in his sleep, and past that, have no further information. Last year, I put Jay Reatard on my <a href="http://bustyoureardrums.blogspot.com/2009/12/bustyoureardrums-mixtape-6.html">BYED Mixtape #6</a>.

I apologize. But sometimes pictures speak louder then words.<div>In this week, I have decided to dedicate it all to color, or colour as the british spell it. I had a sudden inspiration in Chemistry to make a giant scale of color, while it may not be perfect, it was very elaborate. <a href="http://twitpic.com/y38kl">Here</a> is that picture. I laid out well over 150 color pencils across the span of three school desks. Here are my favorite works of art. Click the name by the picture to see more work from each artist.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 633px;" src="http://i45.tinypic.com/iwoxex.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Rainbow Shower by <a href="http://bycavalera.deviantart.com/">Cavalera</a></b></div><br />This work of art is amazing. I simply love the depth and detail put into this picture, and the colors that are used in it. I have had this picture for a while and I am ecstatic about finally being able to use it.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 362px; height: 518px;" src="http://i46.tinypic.com/219c8at.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Christmas Lights by <a href="http://o0-JynnanTonnyx-0o.deviantart.com/">o0-JynnanTonnyx-0o</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Originally, this was not the picture I was going to post here. After looking through 3000+ photos, I decided this one was a great 2nd choice. Something as easy as christmas lights are a great portrayal of color. From extravagant displays of light, to even simple strands around the trees. Sadly, all of these are put up but once a year. Maybe that is why winter is one of the most beautiful seasons.</div>wtfitsdanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698419991689816838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972048456324806147.post-3172499700112530422010-01-08T01:14:00.000-06:002010-01-08T01:16:13.845-06:00A Week in Art #4This week I have some interesting pictures for you all.<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/24lk48n.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><div style="text-align: center;">Not sure who this is by.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This was a picture tweeted by Sean Ryan.

The door uses a counterweight, 80 ball bearings and 160 pulleys to work. I find the design and just overall look of this door amazing. I really would like to see it in person. For more info and pictures go to <a href="http://bbcicecream.com/blog/2009/11/30/nice-door/">Billionaire Boys Club Blog</a>'s post about it, or the <a href="http://www.matharooassociates.com/">Matharoo Associates website</a>.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 482px; height: 270px;" src="http://i48.tinypic.com/dmp2ir.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><div style="text-align: center;">Sophie by Atelier Xavier Veilhan</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This piece of art is just amazing.

It is so sad to hear of anyone passing, let alone a famous person, and also someone so young.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The band has released a comment of his passing "<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: italic; line-height: 12px; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

I was swamped with work.<div><br /></div><div>For Make a Difference Monday number four, he takes a bunch of single mothers and treats them to a day spa, and treats their children to Chuck E' Cheese. He buys them tons of coins, pizza, and even cake. I think this one is one of his best. I could only imagine the struggles of a single mother raising a child. If anyone deserves a day off, it is a single parent.

He opens up the doors of his life and lets you inside. This video was very motivational [as he hoped] and just is too much for words. Mr Chi City, I salute you and give you all of my respect.

The city also has "Twilight Points Of Interests" on a website, showing all of the local points for twilight. The city has went through and named some buildings like the movie. [E.X. The Cullen House, and so on]<br /><br />Personally, I find this ridiculous. But for the city, it is a great way to attract visitors and get a good tourist income. So I am taking both accounts into play here. But also, this could get out of hand, increasing theft, vandalism, and so on in the city. I hope they thought of all of this before they agreed to be in the documentary "Twilight in Forks" or even in their own reality show.<br /><br />Sources and Links:<br /><a href="http://www.forkswa.com/twilight.html">Twilight Points Of Interest</a><br /><a href="http://fuckyeahtwilightsucks.tumblr.com/">fuckyeahtwilightsucks.tumblr.com</a> -Twilight hate site.<br />Original Perez Hilton Blog <a href="http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-19-reality-show-abouttwilights-hometown">Here</a><br />Image from <a href="http://www.afterthebite.com/">Afterthebite.com</a>.wtfitsdanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698419991689816838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972048456324806147.post-47948075101629303132009-12-17T22:09:00.011-06:002010-01-01T19:28:04.296-06:00A Week in Art #2Sorry about the lack of updates.
