  • Cheaters suck 2003-05-08 05:33:04 Why do people cheat and think they can get away with it? My ex just dumped me Monday, but this morning I found out she'd been sleeping with another guy for 3 weeks. Yay me. My standard rule for dating, if you wanna sleep with someone else, ask me first, cause I will find out other ways if you don't. Well quess what, this morning I was told by a friend......

    Yeah, he should have told me 3 weeks ago, but better late then never. Anyways, there goes any chance of being with her again, working things out, and most likely of all, there's goes any chance of remaining friends. I shall dedicate my next AMV to her though, as my goal with my next AMV is to make my audience suicidal. There, you have my reason for it.

    Anyways, depression in full swing, no sleep for me tonight, gonna call in sick to work today. 
  • Late Night 2002-08-29 01:56:35 I chose to stay up late tonight since I have no class tomarrow, why I'm not working on a video is beyond me, I already did my homework. Anyways, I think I'm just at a point in the video I don't want to pass right now, I'm dreading that I have so much more lip synching to do. 
  • College blues 2002-08-26 17:03:19 I complained about my first day of class this morning, but it's not so bad, only 1 out of 4 of my teachers require homework, so, as long as I do well on my tests, I should be fine. Goddess forbid my Enlish teacher ever reads these, she'd kill me. Anyways, I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off from class so I'll find time tomarrow to work on my AMVs again. 
  • School sucks 2002-08-26 08:28:58 I ran into an unexpected roadblock today, well, it was expected, but I had hoped to have one of my projects completed by today. Oh well, I guess it's off to college for me, which means another 3-6 weeks minimum added to anything I was working on, that is unless I get some real time off. 
  • New project 2002-08-22 12:41:41 I finally got off my lazy bottom today and got to work on yet another project. I have way too many of these ideas that I want to produce. But anyways, I started my Van Halen video this morning and it's proving to be my most challenging project yet. I've never attempted lip syncing before, so I had absolutely no clue just how hard it was. So, 58 seconds into the video and I have that first milestone. I got lucky and without much need for cutting, I got that first sync almost perfect.

    10 more seconds of video time and I've gotten my second sync looking good as well. Took me about 2 hours of editing to figure out all the timing on that piece though. Like I said, I'm not that experienced with syncing of the lips. But with 1:08 of the video's time done, and that all in the time frame of 4 hours, I think I'm on pace to finish this video by the time I go back to school on Monday.

    Oh well, I hope this does turn out well, I'm looking forward to seeing my own video. Still trying to think of a suitable title for it, but the concept is solid. Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" to 'I, My, Me, Strawberry Eggs!'. Let's see if it's as solid post production as it is in my head.
