Wave?

Is anybody out there using Wave at all? If so, friend me up at oceansofcake@googlewave.com and if you don't have it, let me know and I'll try to drop an invite! So far I cannot tell you anything about Wave because I just joined up and have zero friends on there. Sad, right?

Apple Quality?

Yesterday I committed an unspeakable tragedy: I (temporarily) bricked my computer. I'm in the computer lab right now, disparaged because my attempts to use the school's computers to burn an ISO failed (almost tried rainbow tables) and decided to log onto Facebook. Blah blah, so anyway I was asked to download Quicktime 7 to make the features I rarely use run supposedly better. I laughed when I saw their thanks page:



Fantastic Four, really? The movie with a 5.8/10 IMDB, a 26% Rotten Tomato, and (most important of all) a 40/100 on Metacritic? This led me to a few better ideas as to what to show:

Meet the Feebles

Akira

Moonraker

Advertisements Revisited

I came across this ad on Myspace today (after remembering that I had an account):


Now, where have I seen this before? OH YEAH!

The Conquest of Facebook

Aha, I have finally achieved Facebook dominance! I have decided to become active in the groups communities. So far I have coauthored one group and conspired in the successful takeover of another. Did you know that if the original administrators of a group leave the game, administrator status is up for grabs? Billy took over a Facebook group dedicated to Twilight that I had joined earlier in hopes of finding a group dedicated to Deep 13, the Mad's basement. I encourage all to openly join! Here is the legitimate group, the Fan Girl Fan Club:
I hope this link works!

Now, the hijacked group, After reading Twilight I cried hysterically and went into deep depression.

... don't laugh! Also, do you like some of the new tracks I uploaded to my page? Let me know in the comments! Also, to my Mafia Wars friends, I have finally hit onek worth of energy! It feels soooo nice ^^.


Oh! I have also decided that I am going to make a name for myself on Youtube. Expect me to post numerous Youtube videos in the coming days (a collection of pop culture obscurities and personal favorites(check out my videos playlist in a few days time)).

Best Advert Ev'ah

Found this gem today:


edit (3:33 10/11): A new contender has emerged:

Catchiest Song on Earth Discovered!

This is based on no official poll. This was just stuck in my head for about three weeks. Now I can fortunately exorcise it from my skull! :3

WebReview: whatdoestheinternetthink?net

A friend of mine (who is currently in the room, meaning I cannot type this while speaking it in an open monologue) suggested this site called WhatDoesTheInternetThink. Naturally suspicious, I proceeded to test the site out. While there are some examples that make perfect sense (Hello Kitty: 100% positive), I decided to test some examples of accuracy to see if this is truly a powerful gauge of our conscious. Here's the breakdown, in no alphebetical order whatsoever:

Movies:
Gigli (63.9% positive)
Plan 9 from Outer Space (96.3% positive)
Road House (95.5% positive)
Manos: The Hands of Fate (76.7% positive)
The Room (100% positive (to note, this wasn't specific of the movie as this Twitter note demonstrates: "going over storage ideas for the laundry room. Hard to visiualize but I think we have some good ideas. Lowes rocks!"))
From Justin to Kelly (83.3% positive)
Leonard Part 6 (71.4% positive)
Glitter (54.6% positive) Getting better!
Soul Plane (63.2%) Ok, these are getting closer to the truth, so I'm off this subject now.

Music:
I don't know what the kids listen to these days? Lady gaga overwhelmingly positive? I believe it!

I'm also not touching those push-button issues, because those are just stupid. So there you have it! Granted, many issues are just with the search methods involved and they are not truly reflective of how everyone feels. For instance, there is NO way that FJTK could be so high.

Pop music conspiracy!

I cannot believe it took me this long to become aware of it. People, I present to you the greatest scandal to hit the pop airwaves! Exhibit A:

Unfocused and Out of Film

You know how some artists have that one point where they just become maddening and lose most sense with reality, wandering depraved? I feel like that and I am by no means an artist or near that point as of so far in life. Where do people justify their lives? Is everybody else not putting enough thought into the concept or is that just me? I feel that what we are all experiencing is depravity, a sense of despair which is made sustainable through the usage of debt and possession. It's not that I am immune from these things, but more trapped by my former desire of such things, like so many others. If I could, I would have never went to college, gotten those credit cards, went to college (again), overdrafted, and spent every penny I have on an institution that I care nothing about for a reward that means little to me.
Am I doing this wrong? College is always made to look like that place where people find themselves and enjoy scant freedom. I found myself, and it made me realize that I cannot stand college and I feel that it's almost robbing me of my personal life. It's a sad state: cannot stand college/unwilling to make an effort, but would be wasted in doing working-class material. Some in my predicament rise up and tap into personal talents, but I don't feel the drive to do even that. I procrastinate because I don't know how to handle. I ignore because awareness pays just as little to me. I dodge reality for a living. It's more challenging than the standard work week and leaves me just as unfulfilled.

The Problem with Trusting the Internet

Time to start this on the defensive. I am a massive MST3K fan, but am too cheap/poor to afford the ridiculous prices for those lackluster bundle packs being shipped out by Rhino. So to them I say, "up yours with your ridiculous prices and whatnots!" My other option, apart from watching them on Youtube, is just to torrent them. Using Pirate Bay trackers, I am currently downloading the complete collection (well, if the ktma eps are there in full). My stats?

I Underestimated Microsoft

That's right. I underestimated Microsoft. I torrented Fallout 3 (I swear I have a copy, nyuuuh XP) and need to install Games for Windows-Live in order to have the precious xlive.dll file. Games for Windows also creates an XBox Live account for you. I don't own a 360 and don't plan on owning one either(that controller's just too spaceoff for me), but if I want that file I still need to make one. Also, the desired handle spacecakes was not available, and Microsoft gave me the single greatest alternative ever: So without further adieu, I introduce: FascistStraw.

Saved!

it would appear that fate is going to be kind to me. I can still legally import cloves via the Internet (I assume customs won't fuck with my package). I will have to abandon my loverly Bali Hais, but there are always Blacks. They even have tea- and cappuccino-flavored Blacks in Indonesia! Also, I think I'm going to work toward selling my body for medical experimentation. I really don't want to get a job again. Would you really want to hear about how my day went then? BBOOORRRRIIINNNNGGGGG. I hope to have cash, cigs, and also I'm going to knock out my homework this weekend, starting later today. Now that I have a reason to live again :D I feel the need to succeed in order to keep myself flowing with cloves and expensive sauces. Also, I plan on moving out of the dorms, buying a big-ass TV, and returning to a life of comfort and stylish antics. Reboot!

PS: Listen to Dubstep

Fading.....

I went in for my monthly psychiatrist visit and was given quite the treat today. It seems that every time I go in there they trial-and-error a new prescription on me, and the flavor of the month this time is Wellbutrin. My opinions? I have a stomachache, brain shocks, am more irritable than the elderly who don't have a mall to walk, and just feel absolutely miserable. I fucking hate this. I'm tired of being bumped from godawful antidepressants to what was probably the best one yet (Ritalin) back to antidepressants! I'm not begging for fun pills or anything, just something that bloody works. *sigh* I'm currently missing class because I just don't feel like I could bring myself to go. I just feel too strange. I hate this. I cannot go on like this any longer..... I just want something that works.

In Memory Of....

clove cigarettes. They were banned yesterday under FDA implementation. The killer? Our current President, Mr. Obama (you know, the smoker). He signed legislation allowing a government office to control production of a privately-owned company. They stated it was to discourage teen smoking, but even the FDA's own research stated that adolescent clove smokers account for only 2% for all cigarette smokers in that age group. So, without further adieu, I hereby say I miss you, Bali Hai, and that I hope you are still blowing smoke rings in Tobacco Heaven.


2005-2009

These are my new hours...

I have officially become a night person, which means that I have been playing an unhealthy number of video games again. Unfortunately, I cannot reinstall Battlefield 2142 (one of my favorite shooters x.x). As a coping mechanism, I am redownloading Anarchy Online just because I've been having the craving yet again to play an MMO, run around, and then uninstall it. That's why I don't play any of the paying ones. It's a free game if anyone would care to join me (Funcom ID:spacecakes). If so, I'll shower you with love and gifts for just giving me someone to play with instead of just myself. :3

The Dilemma

...screw it. The last blog is a lost thought and I have difficulty enough being linear and progressive. Anyway, my sincere dilemma: where are you supposed to meet singles in the fucking Midwest in a college town? The only thing my compatriot and I can think of is the bar/pub/nightclub. The pressing issues? It's poorly lit. You're drunk. She's drunk. You're in an unofficial competition with the other wankers who exist in such a predicament and it's difficult to pull of such a move without appearing forthcoming. I am completely unsure about the status of my current relationship and am completely unsure if I can ever truly let go. My mind is toying with the idea that it could in fact be over but I have no idea anymore. I'm straight slipping in every facet of my life. My days have deteriorated into staying up late, playing PS, and and watching reruns of Seinfeld and Guy Ritchie movies. Welcome to the bachelor life.

The "What's Hot" of my Personal Time Wasters

For some reason, I felt like doing a list. It could very well reflect a lack of creativity on my part in writing this entry or something more apathetic than that. Alas, I shall drudge on with what I am currently watching/listening/playing as if it really matters: o.-

Movies:
NeoTokyo
While not exactly the easiest thing to find, it's just one of the lesser-known weird 80s animated features. The one here people will be most familiar with would be Ôtomo (director of Akira), but the surreal work of Rintaro and futuristic Kawajiri should also be noted for the quality being brought to this wholly unique work.

Music:
DubStep.fm
This is where it's at. Fine-as-silk dubstep without ignoring the variety that can be found within the genre....

....and wham! Just like that I am already exhausted for the night. I shall resume this at a later time. I hope I didn't mess up the html, because I'm not going back to correct it tonight in case it's wrong! x.x~

*facepalm*

Why did it take me so long to watch this again? It's the last time I saw a slapping fight that ended cutely:

More pie!

Ah, it's great to be back. No more ignoring the Google gods who offer me pennies on the dollar and no more abandoning my ideas because they "didn't make sense" or were "entirely unrealistic." After some discussion with my roommate and future copilot (not sexually) we have decided that this could act as a starting vehicle for what we hope to be doing in the future: an organic multimedia project. That's just a buzzword for blogging, linking, videos, and other fun little ditties. But until those surface, I have merely this to pass the time:

It's tha new style!

With blog posts as inconsistent as mine, it's quite safe to say that all two people that may have been watching this have assumed I've abandoned the trade. Well.......... basically. I just haven't felt that my current stage in life is worth speaking of. I don't think I could just gloss over the finer details that are truly affecting my composure. But alas, I'll just continue on regardless with an update (edited, of course).

I'm at UND taking Visual Arts. I am finally reunited with Billy, my creative alter ego. I am financially destitute with no exit strategy in mind (hell, even this semester isn't paid for yet). I haven't heard from my significant other in what seems to be a month. I am car-less. I just hope to survive this semester because academic suspension is a death sentence for me, and all I want to do is just fuck around with the university's AV equipment.

As I am killing time in the library, I have pondered many of the oddities of life and have come up with a few conclusions. One, this is all pointless. Two, some people are actually just content when they say they are ecstatic about their life. Three, there is no wrong lifestyle choice as long as you can make it feasible. Finally, we as a culture are not working hard enough to nurture the minds that will one day have the power of dominance. I will elaborate on this later, since I feel like really restarting this, especially since I am anticipating creating my own small videograms (or vlogs, or short films, or Youtube snippets, or whatever you call them). All I do know is that college is merely a method to pass the time while you wait to sink yourself into cultural ideals that don't enable the escapists to mentally roam. *sigh* The optimism is gone; now just a desire to exact counterculture revenge via subtlety remains. :3
