Well I was right I missed one episode of Epyon/Heero. When I did it the first time I thought it was a episode about the characters Duo/Wu Fei that were not featured for awhile but it did have ALOT more Epyon footage. Now I am confident I can make due and finish the AMV tonight if I play my cards right.
As for homework I am going e-mail the teacher about the subject matter that I have to go by when it comes to the adversity thing. Just to clear some things up. I will probably start and finish the essay tomorrow if I get the answer tomorrow. Then the next day I will do the photo essay. That shouldn't be a problem.
Saturday - Adversity essay
Sunday - Photo essay
Monday - Letter
Tuesday - Resume letter
Wednesday - Read overs
Thursday - Mail it in
As for work well it was ok today but the new girl is such a fricken baby, I wish my goddess came back, this new girl complains more than a 5 year old. Tomorrow to Monday will be Safeway work.
Rj hasn't answered his phone, nor e-mail, starting to get used to it now. I have a feeling he will come around by the Blueberry festival so we can have round 2 of lazer tag reliving our Opera (Half Life Mod, like putting Replacement Killers and Matrix together) days for real or in someways. Then we can work on an AMVs possibly. I really want to drink some liquor right now, I dont know why. Oh well I cant now I am too lazy not to mention I got an AMV to do that has nothing to do with horror and I have a feeling my stomach wont handle it. I have had a typical stomach flu for awhile. Its not serious or anything bad just a bit more usual bathroom time for the Metal Wolf.
So far I am not letting my AMVs become a schedualed thing I do it when I feel like so or just try to do something, I dont have a time slot for anything. If things continue like they are right now I will have the first Epyon AMV mostly done by tonight. As for Red Baron I dont know, I honestly dont know. The fear of doing the AMV not to mention I still only got ideas for the middle part and thats it. Right now I am thinking that I will delete all of my footage and redo clip getting so I got just Zechs clips, there is also a chance that I may not do Red Baron, why because if 2 Minutes 2 Epyon was any sign of me running out of footage, this song I will use is faster and more furious not to mention I dont have as much clips for Zechs in the Epyon except for the Heero in Wing Zero VS Zechs in Epyon. Sort of funny because in 2 Minutes 2 Epyon, Heero is in the Epyon fighting Zechs in the Wing Zero, Zechs won witht he Wing Zero. Then its vise verse the second fight, I guess the Wing Zero is better than Epyon but I dont care I love the Epyon.
Anyways time will tell if my Red Baronw ill be possible but I will only do it if I have the amount of footage to do it. I dont want to cut the song unless I REALLY HAVE TO. However if I can't do the AMV I wont sweat it event hough I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be very dissapointed because I have been dreaming of doing this AMV for a long time.
My Uncle John (the smartest of the Bussey family, well from my Dad's generation. He worked as a Major in the Canadian Air Force, now retired and is doing work here so he can get his employment insurance.) seen some of the AMVs I made. Apparently my parents have told everyone that I won an award. Its funny because my parents NEVER EVER gave a shit about my AMVs nor would ever see my AMVs. However for some reason this year is different, when I am in the contest, not to mention winning an award my parents are spreading it around like wild fire. Funny that no one except my cousin Amie, and another cousin's daughters Lindy and Katey, no one else knows one thing about anime. Anyways he seen most of them, I would have wanted him to see all of them but he was losing his patience apparently. He didn't really look like he understood any of them, the only one he seemed to like was my "Against The Wind" AMV.
Anyways after I finish this Epyon AMV I will decide if it should be LOCAL hosted or not.
Oh yeah Alien VS Predator SUCKS!

With a full nights sleep
2004-08-03 11:34:09
I feel MUCH better right now that I have for awhile, had a good (and full) nights sleep. For three days I did morning shifts (I dont do them often) and only got 9 hours of sleep for the past three days. Yesterday it was 7 pm (here where I lived) and I just shut my computer off, dropped on the bed and then BANG, off to sleep. Dreamed about a strip joint called "The Bebop", I owned it and god knows what else happened (maybe this is a sign I should remake some of my hentai/soft hentai AMVs, only when LA Blue Girl DVD set gets cheaper and they put out Mad Bull 34 and Junk Boy out on DVD, HURRY UP MANGA!).
I quit trying to remake the Devil AMVs, I quit because I knew that I couldn't make it as good as I wanted to make it unless I slowed things down to have it fit, that would kill the AMVs. Maybe the Devil AMVs should be laid dead and buried at least for now.
Right now I am working on the AMV no one ever seen that I made a few years back called "My Secret Place", I am taking my time on it since I dont have much time these days to work on it because of school, work and weight lifting/training.
After I finish that AMV I want to remake a few other AMVs before November/December when I will start making AMVs for the next Animethon/Otafest/Anime Evolution.
Right now I am deciding on remaking either
Guns & Roses/Tenchi Muyo series AMVs (The Job and Problem, rename both of them too since I am disgusted with those names I given them a few years back)
or
Iron Maiden/Gundam Wing AMVs (Sounds Of War and 2 Minutes 2 Epyon)
If I did the Iron Maiden one it will be obvious to make the sequel I have been planning for Epyon for a year, right after.
I dont know yet, it will depend on how I feel after My Secret Place is finished.
Right now I feel sad that ErMaC is gone, I remember there being some tension of me and him making the same AMV with the same song. I made my about just Spike, his was about the Cowboy Bebop cast. I can say mine was out first (I beleive) however his was of course better, oh well I guess. Its sad to see him go but soon or later someone has to move on, I know how it is to lose inspiration. However I am a very stubborn person that is why I'm still around.
By the end of this December I may stop for awhile (if not quit), I dont want to quit but there maybe a pause because I am moving out of Fort Mac and into Calgary by January. However I can assure you when I leave I will put out the best AMV I ever did when do, right now however I dont plan to quit espacially when i finally got my drive back.
Right now for today I may just finish "My Secret Place" and then decided what to do while i am doing my homework. However right now i am going to the gym, then go to work, then figure it out.
song of the moment - Still The Same by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (an idea I am thinking of for Lina Inverse, do it some time in December maybe) -
the balancing act

I have gone back to work on my Devil Man 1 AMV remake. I nearly got it done. Even when I do get it done it wont be hosted because it has ecessive violence and nudity. I just want to remake it and have it there just incase someone wants that AMV, I can send it to them or whomever.
Next month my and Rj hope to make an AMV together, I hope on August. If not then I will just continue to remake AMVs till I see fit to make something new. I hope to once I get the distance learning modules done, I can get an AMV done I have been wanting to do since I heard the song last year.
Right now July will have Devil Appears
August may have My Secret Place, as well as something from Metal Wolf/Shadow joint productions (if anyone remembers Moto Psycho)
if I can get it done quick September may have something using Iced Earth.
Anyways I am off to work -

Right now I am pretty excited on the next project I want to put on ahead. I have been thinking of remakes however I wont start any of them until I am sure i want to persue them. While all that I am upgrading my grade 12 english in hopes to get into Sait for next august.
If not then I will just move to Calgary and get whatever I need to be done there as well.
I feel pretty good but I am still uncertain my life's direction these days to be a professional wrestler or go onto film school.
Right now I am listening to Nightwish's new album before I go to work. So far its pretty good.
The AMV project I have been thinking of doing, well one new AMV and the rest are remakes.
Red Baron/Blue Max by Iced Earth - Gundam Wing (Epyon-Zechs or Heero)
remakes
Sounds Of War
2 Minutes To Epyon
My Secret Place
Sweating Bullets
I now have the DVD footage needed to do those. It will all depend on when I have the time and drive to do them.
I can't promise that I will continue making AMVs after December (celebrating 4 years) because moving Calgary it will be awhile before I get an internet connection or any time to work on AMVs. The next donation maybe the last, who knows but .....well I don't know. I have been saying it too many times that I may quit but right now it isn't for personal reasons because I have never been as motivated as I have been lately to continue, it just depends on what happens next.
My friend Rj may come down to Fort McMurray next month. I have been nagging him to make an AMV for awhile. After bringing him to the AMV contest it seemed to motivate him into doing an AMV again. So maybe in August expect a joint effort from me and Shadow Productions.
As for now the things important to me is school, work, and exercise.
Hopefully I can do 1 or two remakes in August if Rj dont come down, same goes with September to November. I have something special for December. -

Well what can I say, I wont "Made In Alberta" award at Animethon 11 for the AMV I didn't even think would make the final cut "Everybody Hates Me". I am practically as speechless about this as I was when they presented this to me. Everyone around me (Including Vlad) says I deserves this but in some ways I feel I dont deserve this. Either way its nice to know that after 3.5 years of AMV making I finally accomplished something. Now the only song playing in my head is "Get Some Go Again" by Rollins Band, or in the words of the great Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 8 "you did it once, lets see you do it again!". Its a much needed motivation to stick with this hobby that I felt for awhile that no one else cared me sticking around in.
Now I am just think of what to do next. I think I will just cool down, watch some anime, work, go to school and when I feel its time to do something I will. If anything I am dropping all my projects. The only project in my mind I wouldn't mind going with is remaking "My Secret Place" since I got the DVD of it at Animethon 11.
Outside of AMV making I loved the AMV contest. I would be a dirty rotten liar if I said I wasn't jealous of how good many of the other AMVs were. Stepping out of my self depression that I had on that Saturday night (before I found out i won the Made In Alberta award) I enjoyed the AMVs.
I had seen Machine's AMVs before so I knew what I was seeing from him I was just surprised I didn't think his "United States Of Whatever" video would do so good, I thought his "Drunk With Love" would do well but it didn't oh well I liked that one. I voted for "Soldier" by Hitori, I felt that was the best video of them all, I am going to download it as soon as I can and give it a review. I liked Kill Spike, and the Hellsing video from HerQluez (however no offence but I thought it was PG material for the contest, I felt this one was definitely not PG material oh well I guess).
Anyways I am trying not to let this award get to my head. I am just going to relax and say to myself, I dont think this will happen at Anime Evoltuon too....but on the other hand I think.....nahhh nevermind. I wont be able to go to Anime Evolution since I was lucky enough to get the past 4 days off from work enough. Well congrats to the others who won I am going to lay down now this has been a VERY heavy weekend for me.
