JOURNAL: FirestormXIII (Robert X. Hill-Williams)

  • Today... 2003-03-26 23:29:28 Today...today was the best day I've had in a while. It feels good, it almost feels like the first time I've really been alive in a very long time. And I feel like it's going to continue.

    "Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same."


    That's it for now. Need to do some editing badly, but for now I'm just enjoying the changes I've made in my life.

    I wish everyone could feel like I do right now.

    Later all.


    Song of the moment- "One Headlight"-The Wallflowers

    Lyrics:
    So long ago, I don't remember when
    That's when they say I lost my only friend
    Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
    As I listened through the cemetery trees

    I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
    The long broken arm of human law
    Now it always seemed such a waste
    She always had a pretty face
    So I wondered how she hung around this place

    Hey, come on try a little
    Nothing is forever
    There's got to be something better than
    In the middle
    But me & Cinderella
    We put it all together
    We can drive it home
    With one headlight

    She said it's cold
    It feels like Independence Day
    And I can't break away from this parade
    But there's got to be an opening
    Somewhere here in front of me
    Through this maze of ugliness and greed
    And I seen the sun up ahead
    At the county line bridge
    Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
    We'll run until she's out of breath
    She ran until there's nothin' left
    She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

    Hey, come on try a little
    Nothing is forever
    There's got to be something better than
    In the middle
    But me & Cinderella
    We put it all together
    We can drive it home
    With one headlight

    Well this place is old
    It feels just like a beat up truck
    I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
    Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
    This place is always such a mess
    Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
    I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
    Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
    But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
    I think her death it must be killin' me

    Hey, come on try a little
    Nothing is forever
    There's got to be something better than
    In the middle
    But me & Cinderella
    We put it all together
    We can drive it home
    With one headlight

    Last night I was trying to get in my donation (this month's, and the one I missed in february, bad rob, bad *smacks hand*) but the paypal website wouldn't load for me. This morning I try and get on and the site is back up, *but* it won't let me log in because it says my cookies aren't active.
    Ok, fine, even though I know my settings haven't changed and my cookies are active I check again anyway. I'm right, they're active. So for good measure I add paypal to my list of trusted sites. Ok, I go back to log in again.
    Same thing happens. So I send an e-mail to their service sector, which gets redirected back to me by them and tells me to log into my account and contact them. I can't log into my account! >_< But fortunately there's another link that allows me to contact them if I'm having a problem logging in. So I go through their help service, follow their instructions for fixing my problem and still the same problem arises. So I just say 'screw it, there's nothing else I can do on my end' and fill out a form about my problem and send it off. And now I'm still waiting for a response from them.

    Arghhh, I'm having a great beggining of the week... =/ There is much in the realm of personal problems with me and a certain someone else, but I think we've talked through the worst of it. Nothing is ever easy...

    And I still have MI:2 and the SWTrailer Project to complete (hopefully) this week, so long as I don't get bombarded with shit from school.

    High point so far: My store released Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker last night. I was going to pick my copy up, since I had it reserved but, like the rest of my week so far, that didn't work out as planned since my reservation slip has apparently dissapeared into thin air. I have my reciept now, but it meant i couldn't get it last night, which was just an annoyance after everything else that's been going on.

    This is gonna be a lovely week, I can just tell. 
  • Complete and Utter Impudencia! 2003-03-21 13:21:47 Yea, the title's not really related to anything, I'm just running out of ideas for them =P

    South Carolina is still the most boring place on earth, and I can't wait till I go home Saturday. The only good thing about this trip is that it's given me time to watch some anime I haven't seen yet, work on some videos, and just to think in general.

    My portion of the Star Wars Trailer Project is nearing completion. I plan on putting the finishing touches in today (read: Photoshopping lightsabers) and correcting any timing problems that pop up. Then tomorrow when i get home I'll hand off my part to Paperskunk and that'll be done.
    And as soon as that's finished I have to get back on MI:2, which I technically haven't started yet. >_<
    Good thing is, if my part of MI:2 comes out like I'm planning it, then it'll make doing the NESProject sooo much easier, which'll be nice.


    In other thoughts, I've been holding off on this assessment for a while, but now I'm starting to believe that the whole multi editor project is getting a little crazy. It's good in a lot of ways, it's just that is seems like there's *so* many all of a sudden.

    And one last thought before I go finish my laundry: it's nice to see EK writing in her journal here again ^_^
    I'd also never checked out your mp3 of the day until today *thumbs up* I'll also have to check out some more David Byrne, that song was pretty good, not at all what I expected to heard.
    At any rate, it's not like EK reads my jounral anyway x_x;;


    Later everyone.

    Random thought of the moment: This Golden Graham imitation cereal I'm eating is better than the real thing O_o! 
  • Deadlines=teh fuXX0rs 2003-03-17 11:19:21 Well here I am in boring, boring, boring South Carolina fvisiting my family over my spring break. God it's boring. The good thing is that it allows me to put down a lot of time working on my videos and the projects I'm on. Tomorrow is the date that I have to send Danny a beta of what I'm workinng on, so I'll be wokring on MI:2 all day today. And probably up through Wed. as well. The rest of the week'll be dedicated to the SW Tarailer Project, and the NESProject. Fun Fun ^_^

    Oh yea, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAILZ! *fondles*
    :O

    Later everyone.


    P.S. I just got Starcraft not too long ago so I can play online and i'm looking for other people to play against. My username there is FirestormXIII, same as here. *looks in Fyrt's general direction* XP 
  • Blahbiddy Blahbiddy Blah 2003-03-04 00:06:45 Found the Citizen Cope CD today at Tower for only $10. I'm really beginning to like Tower, I'm finding all kinds of great stuff over there.

    In AMV news I've been doing a buttload of footage ripping in prep for all the projects I have lined up. I'm planning on putting some work in on the AMV projects I'm on tomorrow, but I probably will end up working on my own personal project since I'm not done prepping everything else for the other projects. We'll see.


    Till Next Time.
