What day is it today?
2003-04-09 09:58:45
It´s finnish language's day. In celebration of that this entry will be mostly in finnish. I'll go back to using lovely english tomorrow.
I heard an interesting conversation today at the coffee table. Apparently the genes that determine the probability that you will have twins leaps one generation. If your grandmother is/was a twin, you are more likely to have twins too. I don't know if the genes only go from mother to daughter. My mother isn't a twin, but her mother is. So I'm more likely to have twins than the average person. Oh my... @_@;;
*switching to finnish* Kivaa kirjottaa vaihteeks suomeksi. Tää on niin paljon nopeenpaakin. Eikä tarvi välittää niin paljoo siitä mitä tulee kirjotettua, koska suomalaisia on niin vähän täällä orgissa. Terve vaan kaikille suomi pojille ja tytöille. *heiluttaa raivokkaasti*
Tulee kauheesti kirjotusvirheitä, ku yrittää kirjottaa nopeesti. Mieli on ihan tyhjä. Mistä mun oikein oli tarkotus puhua? Hmm... ai niin. Mut ylipuhuttiin maanantaina orkassa liittymään yhteen laulu yhtyeeseen. *paniikkia paniikkia* Siin on viis tyttöä mun lisäkseni. Me esiinnytään kahvilakonsertissa pääsiäisen jälkeisenä perjantaina. Lauletaan Kaliolle ja kukkulalle ja Mr. Sandman (eiks se oo joku joululaulu). Mä en oo mikään huippu laulaja. Mä oon aina ihan paniikissa, ku pitäis laulaa jotain julkisesti.
Toinen juttu oli yhen mun kaverin foorumi:
http://newton.leesio.org/forum/index.php
Käykääpä liittymässä. Siellä on välilä ihan hauskaa keskustelua meneillään. Se on aika uus foorumi. Jotain kuukauden vanha. Sen admin just vaihtu. Mä oon siellä Dungeon Masters ryhmän moderaattori. Ei oo kovin iso homma, ku on vaan kaks foorumi mitä mä voin modata. Mut se on vastuullista hommaa. Kauheen vaikee päättää, jos haluu vaikka sulkee jonkun threadin tai editoida jonkun toisen postia. Onneks siel on meno ihan järkevää yleensä. Tulee postattua sinne paljon useemmin, ku tänne orggiin. Mä oon jo jossain 30 postis menos. = )
No eipä tässä kai muuta. Ehkä sitten taas vuoden päästä tulee postattua uudestaan journaliin suomeks. *iso virnistys* Pitää tästä kohta lähteä solffaan. Se on ikävää puuhaa enkä mä kävis siellä, jos ei olis pakko. Nyt syömään. Nähyillään myöhemmin uskolliset lukijat.
*Katoaa yöhän (vaikka nyt onkin päivä, mutta aika ero nääs). Kuulet kovan tomähdyksen. Ihan kuin jokin olisi törmännyt puuhun*
To the folks that didn't understand any of that I would just like to say that you aint losing that much. Tuduluu! -
Ignore this

I have to ease my mind somehow. I got a very disturbing phone call from one of my friends today. This friend called me to ease his mind (no, you don´t know him). So he got me all worried. Thank you so much. I hope that it helped him feel better because now I feel horrible. I'm sorry that I can't share the subject with you, but I promised not to tell and I always try to keep my promises. I'll keep two sharp eyes on the problem and if I feel that I have to interfere. Then I have to do it and brake my promise. This is a serious matter. *worried*
Sorry to dump all of that on you people. I was going to post some funny stories today, but that phone call totally messed with my head. The stories will have to wait for another day.
Ok. I'm off to sauna. I'm hoping that it will relax me and help ease my head ache. -
Why do you make videos?
2003-04-07 14:44:02
I just came home from my chamber orchestra practice. It was a very interesting three hours. In stead of our usual conductor we had this umm... in the lack of better word: second most important musician in one of the best professional sinfony orchestras in Finland (Can you count? That's one word. ^^). He's a true professional violinist. He's playing with us amateurs and conducting (sort of) this up coming barocue (17th century) concert.
To get to the part that might interest the AMV world right now... He asked as: "Why do you play?" All sort of answers were given like: "because I like music, because music is beautiful, to become a better player" and so on and so on. He then said to us that we should play because we enjoy doing so. At this point I was saying (in my mind) EXACTLY! It's the same with making videos. You should make anime music videos because YOU ENJOY DOING SO.
Don't do it for fame, awards or any other irrelevant reason. Do it because you like doing them. Enjoy what you're doing. Life is too short to be wasted. You must enjoy every moment of it. At least strive to it so that when you're old you wont regret anything. I don't mean to scare anybody with this. It's just a piece of wisdom that I've learned from life.
I feel inspired when I see a good video. Koop's Euphoria video got me all inspired to think about my own special secret video idea. I've told absolutely nobody of this video because it's so special for me. And I seriously think that none other than myself can do it. Even if I would give the idea to somebody, they couldn't make it the way that I have it envisioned in my head. It's probably going to take me a long time to actually do it. It might even be years. I don't care, because the idea won't let me go. I have to make this video for myself. I don't even care if nobody ever sees it. I've seriously thought that if/when I finish it I wouldn't even publish it. It's also very personal. But then again if my video could help somebody else or even inspire them, then I would gladly publish it. I'm in no hurry. First I need to gather the needed experience because I want it to be good. That means making videos... many videos. And collecting all the needed anime will also take time. In the mean time I can just imagine it in my mind. I'm sure this idea won't let me go before I make it happen.
Make your dreams come true! Don't let anything take you down. If you want something, make it happen. It's all about how much you're willing to give to reach your goal. Naruto is a good example of this. If you've seen the anime, you know what I'm talking about. No one except you can live you're life. Don't let others decide your life for you. Make your own destiny. [BTW I'm watching Hakura's Eden ? Remastered when I'm writing this. That is also a video that greatly inspires me.]
About Euphoria... It seems that I have to take back what I wrote in my last journal entry. I actually like the video so much that I want it in my Top 10 video list and I always review those videos. I'm thinking this over till next weekend. If I still like it this much, I'll review it be there 40 reviews already or not. I also think that the poor guy needs peace and quiet after all of this.
And for those people that think that it's not an artistic video I have to say that I disagree. If I've got it right a drama video is a video that makes you feel something strongly. Euphoria does this to me and it does it to me every time I watch it. I can't say the same for Vlad's Transcending Love video. Don't get me wrong. It's a good video and it's masterfully made. It just doesn't move anything deep inside of me. I've read the video notes ans understand the story and all, but it just doesn't convince me. I've been thinking this over and over again for a long time now and I can't say why I don't like that video. But if I had to blame something it would be the artistic side of the video. And it won that category in the VCA's.. I must be weird for not liking that video *shrug*. It's just my opinion.
Time's up (I gave myself one hour). Seems that I'm capable of some serious life philosophy besides crazy rabbit stories. You get it all, if you read my journal. ^_~ I have to go to bed now. I stayed up too late yesterday watching Rahxephon (more about that later on). But before going to bed there's still something. I want to thank Anime Jedi for helping me out with my profile. Arigato *bows*. I finally got the nerves to write to him. He really is a nice guy. ^_^ I'll update it in maybe few days. I'm happy. Sorry if my philosophy rant was too sugary for you. It all just came out. Must be because I'm feeling good. *happy sigh* - ?text? = "text" 2003-04-05 10:47:54 My OpenOffice is still being weird on me. It´s done that earlier too, but I forgot about it. Thank goodness that this time there was only one "quatation" (spelling?).

Going with the flow
2003-04-05 10:45:08
Took me about three hours to read through few weeks worth of journal entries from the about 50 people in my Buddy list. Is it weird to have so many people in your buddy list? I know most of them from the forums and some are there just in case they announce that they´ve made a new video. These people don´t know me. I´m just a nobody who´s been around for about three months now.
O.o A lot has happened apparently while I was away. Meaning all this ?I want to quit AMV making because koop´s video was so good? stuff. All though there really weren´t that many people saying that they want to quit because koop is so good. It´s also possible that all of those people are noobs and aren´t on my buddy list. Not that I have anything against noobs. I still consider myself as one.
I´m downloading Euphoria right now and it´s about 92% done. That video sure has caused a lot of hype. It´s good to see that the veterans still take things easy. When I saw that the video had 34 reviews done to it in just four days I was !o.o! <---- Surprised emoticon with elf ears.
99%... and the excitement is rising.
100% done *watching the video*
.....
Oh my god! ... .... I´m not finding the correct words. Se oli niin kaunista. Kiitos. Ihana musiikki ja upea video. Melkein sai mut itkemään.
Sorry for the finnish. I just couldn´t find the correct words.[note: I can translate it for u´all. There are no secrets. Just ask and you shall receive.] My heart beat rose a lot while I was watching it. Sure it has a lot of digital effects, but it´s still an artistic video. Or maybe I´m just a mushy person. I love the music. It was a lot different from what I was expecting. Thank you Koopiskeva for helping me to choose an anime to watch today. So Rahxephon it is.
*goes off to drag little sister to watch the video*
My little sisters first reaction: Wow! Koop sure can match the anime scenes with the atmosphere of the music. He also uses digital effects to go better with the rhythm.
That´s what she thought. .I translated it. =) She should join the org and go opinionate videos. I think that´s a good overall review of the video. My brain starts to hurt when I try to think how he did all those digital effects. Oh well. They´re not my style so it´s not a great loss even if I just gape those with my mouth open. Good work Koopiskeva (fat chance that he´s going to read my journal, but it would take me frigging three hours at least to opinionate that video). I´ll waste my time giving an opinion to a vid with few opinions and not 34. They are more appreciated that way IMO.
Keep up the good work. I´ll be looking forward to the next video of this series.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
THAT RABBIT IS THERE AGAIN. I can see it through my window. Stop following me god dammit! And if you´re wondering I´m not drunk and seeing things. That bunny is real and it´s haunting me. I´ll train my cat to hunt rabbits. Good plan all though the rabbits almost two times as big as my cat
*looking back to what I wrote* Man people will think that I´m insane. There´s quite a bit of that rabbit in my last journal entry. People must have had fun reading it when they where expecting just another koop ramble. And what did they find? Insane story of a rabbit. I can just imagine their faces in my mind. Lol
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok. Getting back to the video. It gives me a nice warm feeling in the heart. I try not to be such a sucker for romance. *sigh* I can already sing along with the song. My bass sounds great again. *fondles bass with toes (again)*. Lol A lot of videos sound so much better from my new speakers compared to the headphones that I was using earlier. Wonka´s(RVP) Appetite for Dynamite video sounds awesome through my speakers and BASS. Also all the videos done to dance music sound so much better with a good bass. Go get your self good speakers and a bass people. It´s well worth it. XD Shameless advertising. Ha ha
I´m going to download like a maniac when the full carrot launches. I haven´t donated yet. Shame on me. The whole paypal thing is just hard to figure out when you don´t have that kind of credit card. I swear that I´ll figure it out eventually.*waiting patiently for the carrot* I already know about few hundred videos that I must have. Good sides to having you´re whole video collection deleted by accident. Now I know what videos to get and what not to get. I miss some of those videos so much. :(
----------------------------------------------------------------
BTW winter came back. The ground was covered with snow already in and it stayed that way till late May. Then the snow melted away. I was already snooping around for the first flowers and then it starts snowing again. Now we have snow till your angles. There was a real snow storm here in Finland yesterday. The wind blew 28 meters/second (I have no idea how much that is in yards or what ever other back ward way some of you out there measure length). I should probably go and film some material for our new studios intro now that we have snow again, but I´m feeling lazy. And that rabbit is still out there... lol
Time for some Rahxephon. ; p
