If things go smoothly I will start on my Maison Ikkoku/Love Triangle project. I hope to have it done right so I will take my time. However with things going on in my life these days finding inspiration and keeping it will be hard since right now I am on the verge of meeting with someone I haven't seen in years that cared for alot. If she she rejects me, it would set me off. This woman I used as inspiration for many AMVs of the past like
Shinji's Cryin', Bat Out Of Hell 3 and Night Moves
She was sort of my childhood love. At this point I just want to meet up with her and bury the hatchet but I think maybe I am getting too private here because I know no one would understand where I am coming from with. At this point I am prepared for many things. It seems like all I got these days is AMVs anyway. Making them these days is the only thing that gives me pleasure. A venting of emotion if possible or something to look at and consider a staple of myself within it. I can go further but I guess I will just shut up on that. Lets just say good or bad I have an AMV idea or to help vent the demon out.
At this point of allt he delays I know Animarintime is out of the question. There might be a chance to get AMVs done for Otafest or Sakura-Con. By hook or by crook I will have something done by Animethon 12. -
Delays and the insomnia behind

Looks like my Maison Ikkoku AMV projects will be delayed because of constant bother of the computer problems I have been getting that are only getting worse.
I was hoping that I would have a few of my AMVs done or at least made some progress this month with AMVs I want to send to Otafest, Animethon 12, and Anime Evolution. However at this time Otafest looks like it wont happen and it is really pissing me off.
In other news I made all of my nominations, a pretty big list since I have been watching alot of AMVs lately plus I thought nominating rather unknown AMVs may help some of the up and comers since I have a feeling who the winners would be this year. Almost certain AMV Hell 1 and 2 will be in the final card (and in most cases they should be, they are absolutely hilarious). I haven't had the time to promote myself not that i know it would work anyway so righ tnow I dont really care if I win or not. Even though I might still pout about it I dont think I will pout as bad as last year. I can't help it being a sore loser is in my family bloodline. The only award I think I have a slight chance at is "Most Improved Creator". It doesn't matter but it doesn't hurt to dream.
Anyway this monster drink in my hand is th eonly thing keeping me awake right now from less than 4 hour sleep days this past weekend, much less the week. So bad that bagage is forming in my eyes.
I might as well unveil the ideas I had for The Love Triangle Project. I was hoping to do a 2 part AMV about the two guys of Maison Ikkoku jocking for the love of Kyoko; Godia and Mitaka. I would do Godai first cause I thought of his AMV first not to mention it would be easily (I can relate to Godai like a leather glove).
Godai - Uptown Girl by Billy Joel
As for Mitaka I thought of the idea out of the blue when I heard this Toby Keith song play. I felt it fit Mitaka to a T at least his attitude to this love life.
Mitaka - Who's Your Daddy by Toby Keith
Either way right now there is no way for me to acomplish my projects at this point I am not even 50% done pre production because the error keeps interfering in it. -

Well with nominations starting tomorrow I dont know if I will be voting if whom ever handles the donations gets it in time. One fear as well is that I may have put down "metal_wolf" instead of "metalwolf", since there is another guy here with "metal_wolf". You know I guess I should get copyrights to MetalWolf and "Metal_Wolf" respectively because this sort of thing is happening to often. First in a matter of one guy putting himself in the same studio I am in not even thinking about it. Now this person taking my name more or less. Even though he hasn't loginned in for a year that isn't going to stop others. The only problem is I dont know where to go for to get copyrights.
Anyways if the donation doesn't come in i may not be able to vote. Oh well I guess it isn't like its a big thing in my life to do but ...whatever.
Anyways hopefully things come through, I am still without my computer to work on my AMV projects, which sucks too. - 2005-01-16 22:39:10 Hopefully the ORG can gets my 50 dollar US soon I dont like being called a total leech when I have been donating for now coming 3 years.

It's official
2005-01-16 22:34:46
Well one of many things
1) I hate Game Cube/Nintendo
2) I love Resident Evil 4 (See if you can catch the connection)
3) My computer is having a nervous break down
4) So am I
5) I need a social life (but then I never had one)
For a week of bickering and being incredibly pissed off at alot of things like my computer, customers, myself, life in general, Game Cube (those bastards get RE4 first thats such a load of shit, if it were not for PS Resident Evil would not be at where it is today), and of course VIZ.
Either way I love it, its everything done right and very hard too (these bloody thinking zombies).
My computer is in the shop, they have finally given into the prospect that it was a hardware defect all along. I mean they tried every other excuse
1) I formatted my hard drive
2) got a new Windows XP and had it reinstalled
3) They went through all the diagnostics they got
However I shown it to my new assistant manager (who is a cool guy) whose father has worked with computers for 40 years and all they had to say was it was a hardware error, the same thing I said. The same thing the error said "hardware error". Whatever I guess
So with that said I am on my parents computer doing the update now, since I finally won the world heavyweight title in Smackdown VS RAW, now my character nearly has all his attributes maxed (not be cheating mind you, if you dont beleive me you can check him out yourself). I figured to start on the digital RJ on there. I was bored, so as always I popped in a album that I think should mirror the attitude of the character now (well in this version). I did mine with Anthrax's Greatest Hits album. For RJ I used 2 albums that wer epractically same in attitude (and both were 45 minute long albums thats why I used two)
"Night Of The Stormrider" and "Iced Earth" by Iced Earth
I know Rj next time he comes down will fix up his character from what I do (he always does and thats expected). However I feel my job is to build up his attributes for when Rj does get here. That means going the easy way and gaining the points by doing WWE Challange gaining money to buy attitube points for Rj. So his character when set to his liking can face The Beast on equal terms this time. I am in dire need of competition, of course I can go on the internet but I want to get a extra eithernet cord so my PS2 can connect to the net work (if possible of course). I have on question but I keep forgetting to ask the guys at EB Games about it.
Is it possible if I get a USB cord to connect my PS2 (I got the newest model) to my computer and I can take saved files on my computer and transfer them onto my hard drive?
I am sure it's possible because I got my songs from MTV Music Generator 2 that I want to transfer over and put into mp3 or WAV so when I make the album on a burned CD i dont have to record the music on VHS then use my video card to record the sound. I will lose alot of sound quality that way I much rather a straight PS way if thats possible. However i doubt anybody is listening here anyway.
VIZ still hasn't sent me any of my stuff, they haven's sent me Shonen Jump yet it is now in Safeway (and they are usually the last place they comes out with new mags).I had to read the new addition from my co-worker (who buys it monthly, good thing he didn't follow me into getting a subscription). Not to mention I haven't got my Maison Ikkoku Vol 4 and its now officially (say that word alot now) 1 month since I ordered it. In 8 days it will be 1 month from when they said they shipped it. Now I am sure it doesn't take that long to ship something from the US to here. I mean I do money orders all the time and I do it through regular postage (meaning I don't pay more for it to get there faster), I mean they get there in at least 2 weeks.
I mean I would normally order from CNL the anime but its hard if VIZ only allows people to buy the newer additions from either directly from them or from this other store called therightstuff.com (I think). I don't trust the other store's credit card protection policies (I couldn't even find what certification they have) So I used VIZ because it comes right from the company. Either way I am fucked because I still haven't got my copies of either one.
I got myself a EB Games card that allows me 10% off any used games I buy there, good for one year. Since I got there most of the time in hopes that I might find
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (for PS or DC)
or any other used PS, DC, PS2, N64 games I can find.
I already got 1/4 of the collection I once had when I had the N64 the first time plus a few new additions.
some NFL game (the only way to get a memory card for N64 was to buy the game)
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
Cruis'n USA
Cruis'n The World
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey
Doom 64
Goldeneye 64
Wipeout 64
And Adam call me sometime or find me at work, I got your christmas present.
Speaking of christmas, I have been calling Rj but I can get through, I e-mailed him and still can't get through. So I haven't sent Cindy's present to him yet. If he was still living in LeDuc then I would already know the address. However we all know luck hasn't been on my side lately.
What else is there to say, AMV wise I am in limbo.
I can't do the Puppets AMV (side project) because my computer is in the shop (for the 6th time in the last 2 months)
I can't do the love triangle AMVs (Godai and Mitaka both wanting kyoko) project because I want to use it with Vol 4 footage (I would wait for vol 5 but that dont come out till July and I want this stuff for Animethon 12, if it is in August then the deadline is July and I can make master peices that fast). The trick right now is to get my computer in working order and do as much as possible. If it comes to it then I will just use volumes 1 to 3 since I am sure I got ample amount right there, but I always like to have as much footage as possible to play with (or like a artist I always like to have as much colors/shades/etc as possible to use).
Since I alreayd learned a new way to up my video quality (as seen in Playing With Priss remake), I know if I can do better AMVs to compliment the jump in video quality.
If all else fails and I am not as productive as I hoped I can garuntee that "The Drinking Problem" AMV will be the substitute. Because I will be damned if I got go to Animethon without being apart of the AMV contest/panel in some way.
Here is the star averages for my AMVs right now
Cat Scratch Fever 3.33
Bat Out Of Hell 3.54
Voodoo 3.07
These Eyes 3.5
2 Minutes To Epyon 3.35
Rally Ridin' 3.49
Against The Wind 3.54
The Valentine Video 3.55
A Boy Named Sue 3.42
Only One Memory 3.13
Victims Of Moria Syndrome 3.43
Bat Out Of Hell 2 3.55 (my god higher than BOOH1 right now)
History In Anime 3.55
The World Was Never Enough 3.6
I'm Still Here 3.62
Bat Out Of Hell 3 3.39
Everybody Hates Me 3.45
Primitive 2 3.18
The Drinking Problem 3.67
I have been thinking if I should put Vampires and Palying With Priss remakes on the database. I doubt I will put Vampires up since it has alot of gore not to mention a scene that can be considered nudity (nudity with sex in mind), as for Playing With Priss its possible but honestly I dont know if I would want to waste the space (but then many people other than me put in worse shit). I think I will wait for Cindy to tell me what she thinks of Playing With Priss and the other stuff I sent her. I know what Adam (from work) thinks of Playing With Priss. He likes it but the lip synce is bad (but then I already spoke of it, not even the best AMV maker could make Priss since natural without it looking fake, well they could but not without a major amount of special effects.). I like Playing With Priss, to me is exactly how I wanted it from the beginning when I did it. I did it to the best of my ability and picture quality wise it has the best video quality. However I dont want to put it in as well because it may lower my star average.
Plus I am still waiting for the right AMV project to do my dedication bit.
Who knows I guess, time will tell. I am going to sleep, morning shift tomorrow.
When I get home I will indulge in games
Final Fantasy 9
Silent Hill 4
Smackdown VS RAW (work on getting RJ attribute points)
