Well, how've you all been?

(Crickets)

That great huh? Well thats wonderful, and boy have we got some great stuff today; that's right, you guessed it! I went to the grocery store again! Woo. I also got some ideas about some stuff but we'll get to that later.

So I'm walkin through a Hen House, and what do I find? An entire aisle median devoted to cheese! My favorite food in the WHOLE world. So after getting side tracked by some serial with a weird shaped box I finally made it to the cheese-median. Only to find though, that it was all Goat Cheese... BLEH! What the hell am I supposed to do with goat cheese from switzerland? Geez. The nerve... white-squishy-goat-cheese.... ick.

After I got over the tragedy at the cheese median though, I went into FDA Inspector mode. AKA I went to go check out the deli. After counting the exact number of steaks they had, and calculating how much it would cost if I was to buy all the meat in the whole place, I realized that I had litterally no mon-ay. Bummer. After that though, I went to look at Giant Crab Legs. It was mondo cool. Then I saw these little things called crawdads. There was like 30 of them all laying dead in this little basket... GYAH! I jump back from the glass window thing, because I see one of them laying outside the basket. Before I thought of a Twilight-Zone-Esque explination I had to go.

Back at home, I played with my new action figure. Another Gundam. It was cool and stuff, but then I thought about how cool I'd be to show everyone my wide knowledge of toys. I'm pondering making a toy website, but I dunno just yet. After that I pondered about my new idea for a movie/Single-Season TV series, and then I took a nap.

Welcome to another fun hour of blog.

Ok, scratch that. The producers cut us down to a couple of paragraphs but lets get going.

Today we're going to talk about good stuff. Noramly I complain and bitch and whine about something, but not this time. Today we're going to talk about stuff that makes me happy.

Thing #1: Japanese Anime- There more than an thousand reasons why I like this, but for today we'll center on the story lines. With anime its like theres a distinct beginning, and a distinct end. The characters do what they came there to do, and then the series is over. No more crappy sequels ::cough exorcist 3 cough:: or bad prequels ::cough manhunter cough:: or series that won't ever end ::cough friends cough:: Just one really good story that people don't mind watching over and over. Thats the way it should be.

Thing #2: People with funny hair- This is a short one. To all you people with absurdly weird hairstyles: I salute you! You make everyones day by just letting us see somthing different. Woo.

Thing #3: Action Figures- OK why the hell don't people over the age of 11 play with toys anymore? I mean seriously. Just yesterday I went on down to target, spent eight bucks, and bought an action figure. I brought it home, figured out how the accessories worked and how to pull of the limbs without breaking them, and I set to work. Or play for that matter. I came up stairs, put on some coolio background music, and started playing with it. I was making little sound effects and smashing it into things; and I was really happy. Who says we have to grow up? If I had said this in front of my whole school, I'd have very little respect anymore. Honestly I don't care. This is something that makes me happy (and probably used to make a lot of other people happy but they were told to "grow up") and I'm going to keep on doing it.

Never grow up Cowboy. Ever.

Hey everybody! Thought I forgot about you did ya? Well I didn't, just busy with more beauracratic school crap. You know the stuff. Any hoo, I've got some material from my forensics tournament tonight so here we go!

Alright, so between rounds were sitting in the commons area, which is like a big rectangle. With a lot of windows... the call it the "Bridge". Whatever. Anyhoo, the cheerleaders come in and start practicing and stuff. After the inital shock-enjoyment of dancing cheerleaders I started to think about stuff. Like how come they spend all this time just to be like a side show even for basketball games? I don't get it. I also then realized I hate most cheerleaders for the sole reason that most of them fit the sterotypes. Ditzy and self-centered. Or at least here in the midwest. Then I started to think about like how that uniformity they are so damn proud of. What if the governemnt put them in the army. It'd be like Cheerleaders in 'Nam or something:

Brittany! Dismount and heelflip launcher! Go Go Go!

Trixie: I'm on Brit! Let's go girls!

(Cheerleaders form up and start heaving bombs across the battle field like they'd throw a person.)


And after that it got to much like the beginning of a porno movie so I had to move on stealing cookies. In forensics your team gets a table. Anything on the table is yours. If someone set their crap on your table, its your crap. Someone set a bag of cookies on our table. Yummmmmmmm. Chocolate Chip.... My favorite.

Lastly there's rap songs. I hate rap songs. There's no music, its just words and a beat. And cursing. And racial slurs. And womanizing. And the condonance of drugs. The list goes on. Rap started out with completely righteous beginnings. It was like rooted in Jazz which is a great genere. But now it's turned to the dark side of evil pop culture ::shakes fist:: DAMN YOU POP CULTURE.

OK, now we're going to do things a bit differently. My friend told me the other day that I was so funny it made him envious and that he hated me for it. OK, so he doesn't really hate me, so I took it as a compliment. Anyhoo though, I got to thinking. (Which is a milestone in and of itself) If you're reading the blog chances are you find it a little bit humorous, and I bet you spend every waking hour wondering how I do it. Well I'm going to give you a few pointers for the wayward smart-ass cynic.

1: Never go for the obvious Never make puns or plays on words the center of your joke. I promise you that no one thinks thats funny at all. No offense, it's just not.

2: Try to get a different perspective A person who I hold in very high regard once said that "the fact that something is true is what makes a joke funny". Look around you, like say the tree for instance. Most people think its a tree, big freakin woo. Not funny at all. But look at it this way: You ever wondered what it's like to be a tree? I mean you have birds living in your hair, which falls out every winter for some odd reason; people are constantly taping and tieing things to you, and eventually the cut you in half at your waist and go make a rocking horse out of your upper torso! (OK, crappy example, but you get the idea)

3: Remember your audience When your first meet someone, don't imediatly try and be funny. Its just like you don't try and buy something when you haven't checked the options. Watch some TV, listen to the radio, just genneral conversation. Try some stuff: Sarcasm, wit, getting overtly excited... See what they like. Make a note on that and expand.

4: Not everything is funny There are sometimes when you just have to shut your yap and go with things. Some of these times include funnerals, important financial meetings, inspection from customs agents, getting fired. Genneral stuff. Now afterwards some of these things might be funny, but at the time to those involved, I gaurentee you they're not.

So that about wraps it up. Mind you don't refer to that to the letter or anything, I know I don't. Just go with it, and if you hit a stump, this is comedic gennius cut up and laid out on the table for you. Hope it helps, if you care at all.

That's a knee-slapper Cowboy.

Wow. This weekend was a total let down. I was all hyped for the movie, but then I got real sick of it real fast. Every day out in 20 degree weather running around in capes ::shudder::. Any-hoo, that's done, and the movie was a big hit with my english class, so I guess it was partially worth it.

Moving on though, some weird shit has happened to me in the past few days. We'll start with this afternoons annoying TV expirience. Basically, I was re-setting my G Gundam tape so I knew how much time was left on it, and when I was finnished I got sucked into another hapless episode of dragonball. Yuck. So ok, I'm watchin the show, they're fighting like usual, and then all of a sudden this one guy falls on the ground. This would have been all fine and dandy, except for the camera angle. The scene was filmed in such a way as that when the dude fell down, his crotch was taking up like the whole TV screen! EW! Thanks for totally ruining my appetite for the next 5 years of my life stupid DragonBall....

Something else crappy came to me the other day. I'm readin AIM profiles because I'm a bored loser and thats what I do, when all of a sudden I come upon a little gem that reads something like this:

Hey my dawgs, wuts up?! Im jus chillin at my house, keepin it reel.

Lets stop right there; reel? As in a cinema reel? Jesus.... Ok, here we go again:

Now I'm gonna shoutout too all my peeps:

Lisa: I luv u grl! Remember the pizza dude? LOL OMG that was SO funny!
Ron: Hey hun I luv you so much, we should really go DRIVING sometime
Ashley: Get OFF MY BACK! LOL Nah, I'm jus kiddin ya, we tight
Phil: You PLAYA! I can't believe it!


Dear god enough! Please no more! I vowed never to read another aim profile after that. er... after the one after that... DAMNIT! Im addicted to this mad skilz lingo!. No, not really, just can't shake my profile-reading fettish.

So after that traumatic exprience and more profile-reading, I put on some classic rock and all was well :-P I was just jammin along then until BUMP. I accidentally tap my F12 key. You know what that means... ShutDown. Yeah, in my infinate nerdiness, I added a One-Touch-ShutDown button. In order to keep this from happening I now have a red sticker on it that says "DIE". *Snicker* Geeks rule!

Yeah, and aide from that, I fould 2 new incredibly funny websites. Ones the same ol' crazy ass flash animations (www.homestarrunner.com/) which is really funny. The other is more for us anime geeks, but still really funny nonetheless (www.megatokyo.com). I'll have side links for those up soon.

Lastly, just when you thought this entry couldn't get ANY crazier, guess what shows up: The Brotherhood Mix. (See Feb. 13th Entry) YES! That was my reaction too. I'm at the grocery store watching the deli guys play with the crab legs and what do I see?! Everyones favorite ethnically correct trail mix! With its creamy covered rasins, butterschotch covered peanuts, and milk chocolate covered peanuts, its great for ever race and culture! After promptly puchasing a bag, I then sat outside and watched people complain about the Bush administration until my mom was done shopping.

Keepin it reel Cowboy.

Well, today was quite a whirlwind of activity. I got up at 7:30 in the morning to get ready for filming this stupid movie for english. Woo. After we got that underway, things went semi-productivly. It was a learning expirience, and I'll leave it at that. On top of the fact that we're short on time, its supposed to rain/snow all weekend. What the hell?! Oh well, rain makes stuff cooler, and snow is just plain fun.

After that and dinner, I went to go see Daredevil with a friend. Bad ass movie. Thats going on the new list of things I'm doing this summer to train. Blindfold myself for a week, and see how good I do. Yeah. This is going to rock. Right along with sword training and stealth-like-walk training.

Anyhoo, thats about it. I'm kinda tired so I'll leave it at that.

Don't you love it when it rains cowboy?

Ha ha. Another day full of wit, wisdom, and adventure. I know you're just dying to hear about it. OK, so you probably really aren't, but thats alright, you can listen anyway.

Today started out like a normal day. Crappy. But things soon turned around as there was mad ninja action to be had. During mass in the gym, I was on the top bleacher. When I got back from getting the communion waffer, I had to climb through all the kids. Then, at the top, I got to run along the gaurd rail all sneakly like. It was totally cool. After that, me and my 3rd hour gym class helped pick up for mass and I saw some awesome shit.

1: The old-school trophy room. This is where they keep all the awards crap from like 1982 and shit. It's insane.
2: The wrestling room is hidden behind the gym wall. I thought that they had a loading dock or something else there. Oh well.

That was all the awesome stuff, but after that there was more ninja-action to be had. Me and a friend stalked someone through the halls from opposite sides, moving all quick-like through large crowds as ninjas often do. Hell yeah. Ninja Pride.

After school through was another story. I got our early so I could go get some vaccination shots. Yeah, I just sat there, all meditation like, and poke. How anticlimatic. I was expecting to like black out from the overdose or something but no. Just a bit more rubbing alchohal and one of those little circ-ly-like bandaids. Oh yeah, and they gave me a sucker.

Then we went to the grocery store. I haven't been grocery shopping for like the past 4 months so this was a real treat. I wrote down all the fun stuff that I saw, so I'll just go down the list:

Evian Nomad Water Thing- OK, is this odd or what. Its a water bottle with like a little clippy ring thing on the top. For what?! I don't think there are to many mountain climbing expiditions in the midwest, so why would it matter if you drop your water like 2 feet to the ground? Or maybe its for those weird freaky people who won't eat anything thats not pre-packaged, and they need to like chain themselves to their water suply or something. Whatever.

Crab Legs- When I saw these puppies it was one of those wow moments. Personally, I detest seafood, I think its nasty. But these crab legs were like huge. Looking at them I thought like what if I was just hanging out on a beach and I saw this crab? I mean looking at the legs this sucker musta been at least a foot to a foot ana half in diameter. And thats just the little body part. I mean would this guy like start chasing me and try to slice off one of my limbs or what? I know that if I did see him I'd run, because crabs, especially big crabs, are the most bad-ass crustation on the planet... second only perhaps to...

Lobsters- These guys are still alive. They actually get to see the person whos gunna eat them before they get eaten. They're like the elite of all seafood. To be killed only when they KNOW someones gonna eat them. I was thinkin then what if I like bought all these lobster dudes, and shipped them back to the ocean with radio recievers in them. Whats the likelyhood that one would be caught again....? Then I got kinda distracted looking at the Valintines Day Steak

VDT- (Valintines Day Steak you perv, not that)- In short, the cut a big piece of meat in the shape of a heart. Ew. Unless your girlfriend is like some kind of protein freak anyway, who eats steak on valintines day? Bleh.

Red Bull- I thought about getting this stuff once when my friend told me it had enough condensed energy to keep you up for 4 days straight. But then this is the same guy who said it had bull testicles as an active ingredient. I think I'll pass.

Spices- Why the hell are there so many different spices? No one can really tell the difference, and even if they could, even a smaller percentage of those who can even care. Maybe if I cooked more often I'd get it. Hey, did ya know there's a spice called Mace? I wonder if I could make my own mace-deffense-sprayer thing. You know, pour some mace into one of those compressed air things? I can't wait till im bored during the summer and I remember this....

Music- I hate grocery store music. It always sucks. But then thats part of the expirience. I mean without the music, would it even be grocery shopping, or just food-getting. Think about it.

Brotherhood Mix- I saved the weirdest for last. This is like a bag of nuts covered in stuff. Brown ones covered in toffee, black ones covered in chocolate, and white ones covered in like... white suggary stuff. Anyhoo they call it the Brotherhood Mix. At first I didn't get it, but then I realized it contained the three main ethnic sterotypes in it. Is that odd or what? I mean whats next? The Judeo-Christian mix with communion waffers and... some kinda Jewish cracker in it?! Bah. 3rd party nut mixes, promise me you'll never fall to their alluring sense of seduction.

So thats that. I now know why I neglected to go grocery shopping for the past 4 months. If you know me, please remind me never to do this again.

Eat your Eclair you french cowboy.

Well, after yestedays hell, I didn't think things could get much worse. And they didn't, for the most part. I still had to take that damn test, and then I just spent over an hour trying to piece together a shooting schedule for this movie. Big woo. No one appreciates my work I tell you. Oh well, It'll all be worth it to put this under my production company's belt. Woo, ego check.

Aside from that, my throat still hurts.

Ibuprofen is your friend, cowboy.

Talk about a crapy day off. I went to the doctors this morning, had them swab my throat, tell me I don't have strep, then I went back home. I decided to get some quality sleep time in because it might be good for me. What happens? I wake up on the floor in a puddle of my own sweat. Yick.... Alright, then I spend my next 4 waking hours watching bad over-shown movies on HBO, before falling asleep. After that I wake up, and I can't figure out what time it is. All the clocks say 2:00, but I know it's not 2. I go and ask my mom what time it is; she give me a look and tells me its 2. Damnit.

After a late lunch I watched some anime and then went and played with my action figures, which made me feel better. I do love toys. Then was dinner, and then Buffy, both of which also made me happy. Now I'm wondering which would hurt more: If I cleaned out my throat with a hacksaw, or just had my esophagus removed. Oh well, I've neither the time nor the energy to either, so there's no point.

Anyway, Right Said Fred:
I'm to sexy for this cowboy...

Wow. Today was totally uneventful. School sucked as always, but on top of that my throat really hurt. Imagine having a rabid chipmunk bite you in the esophagus, every time you swallowed. Yeah, it's kinda like that. Ow. I'm going to go take some more advil. Maybe I'll post something more later.

Rabid chipmunks SUCK, cowboy...

Stpuid internet liars. Stupid fate. Today totally sucked.

1: I didn't get to start filming
2: I didn't get to go see a movie
3: Zelda isn't coming out today.

Grrr. Plus I have a sore throat. This blows. To make me feel better I think I'll geek out and change the design of the blog.

Most excellent lucrative movie development stuff went on today. It was excellent. I can't wait until... later today, when we get to start filming... and then i get to go SEE a movie. Talk about media overhaul on my part! Any hoo, its almost 2 and im getting tired, so thats all for now.

Also Zelda came out 2 days ago! I'm going to get it this afternoon, so everyone get excited because Zelda's back!

crystalshyt72: lol
Daemon1330: i think im going to go watch signs
Daemon1330: and put some pants on....

Wow. I wish today was as near as fun as yesterday was. Unfortuatly, it wasn't. I had congress today, which was fun, but also a lot of work. And oh how I loath work. Anyhoo, im sitting here in boxers and a T-Shirt because throughout the day mom needed to wash everything else. I bought some video tapes today. 6, to be exact. They're blank and ready for anime taping, and I now have litterally nothing else to talk about... to make up for this I.... damn. I'm totally cleaned out. I couldn't even think of a witty appology. Sorry folks, maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.

_______________later O-o

Ok, I take it back, something funny did happen:

SugarsFly: what's your name?
Daemon1330: I am the Radiskull
SugarsFly: where do ya go to school, "radiskull"
Daemon1330: radiskull HATE school

God that was fun to say....

Yea! Today I went to Target at Ward Parkway!

I had to much fun I'm sure it was borderline-self-induced narcotics...

OK, it wasn't that great, but it was pretty good. I zipped up my poofy black coat, put one arm inside the coat so it looked like I had only one arm, and meandered around Target for 3 hours. What a time. I looked at toys, and electronics, and candy, and made faces at the people at the service counter... Lets go over that in detail:

1: Toys. I came there originally in search of Gundam Action Figures, or Models. Well damn you Target Inventory Bastards! There were no good toys, just the crap ones that no one buys, and the only models were the level one's that aren't worth the money, and the good one I already have- DAAAAAAAMN!!! (Screams forever).

After Gundams I moved on to Ninja Turtles. They're back! I grew up with these late 80's punk-rocking-pizza-eaters, and now they're back to infuse surffer-lingo with modern slang. Only in America.... Moving on: Transformers. These guys are totally cool. I mean its a robot, and then its a car. Car, Robot. Robot, Car. Car Robot Robot Car car robot robot car carrobotrobotcarcarrobot- SNAP. Broken somewhere between Car and Robot. Thats how my transformers ended up anyway. Any hoo, lets move on to all the other toys. DragonBall Z: Gayer then the Gayest of Gay. I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend, but these things SUCK. DragonBall is called anime; its actually anime, minus anything cool, stretch the plot further than an old rubber band, and chock it with american culture. That's DBZ. I spit on one of them I was so mad... Oh yeah, and there were Hulk gloves. I wore those around the store for the earlier part of an hour. God people can make some funny faces....

Moving on the second form of entertainment: Electronics. After about 45 minutes on the Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase demo, I got a little bored. On the other side of the aisle I counted batteries. Or I tried too. The lady at the counter asked me what I was doing, and gave me a look when I told her I was taking inventory. Whatever. After that I went and turned all the stereos to the same channel. 98.1 KUDL. Ha ha ha. Know my pain Target-Shoppers in Aisle 16! After that, I drifted to the home and garden section. I must have looked kinda funny holding that stack of geeky A-V equipment, while looking at power tools. Yeah.

Next, I found the aisle where they keep all there food. It was like heaven, except I saw someone with a mullet. No mullets in heaven ladies and gentleman. The valentines shelves were full of all kinds of stuff. I found a bag of green M&M's and everytime someone walked by I'd yell after them: What is it about the Green Ones?! Some lady turned around and started walking towards me, so I ran and hid behind a rack of teddybears holding choclate boxes. Some people...

Finally, the service counter people. I went over there, and got in line. Except I sat down in the back of the line, and let like 8 people cut me. When i finally stood back up and it was my turn, I asked the guy if they had any public restrooms. I got the look again. He told me, but I was trying to hold back laughing so hard I forget the answer. The dude's name was Jessie. And he looked like late 60 something. Don't ask why I found that funny.

Well by this time I kind of got the idea that my mom wasn't coming back for me, so I went out into the main mall. All that time in target and I bought NOTHING. To recoil from the fact that I had no mon-ay, I layed down on the bench. 5 minutes later my mom found me, yelled at me to get up, and we went home. Like I said, almost as good as narcotics.

Drugs are bad Cowboy.

Don't you love stuff that makes you laugh? I mean really: if it doesn't make you laugh or smile, whats the point?! So i got together some funny things that I heard today:

Reporter: So I've heard that you've made over 400 films!
Brendon: Yes, but many of them are very short... and have no endings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tanner: Give me some money!
Tom: Hell yeah, let's go!
Tanner: How much are you giving me?
Tom: Oh, you said money? I thought you said sexual favors....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jason: I've played 11 rolls so far. 8 of then women. One who was 5 months pregnant, one who was 7 months pregnant, and one who can't concieve, but... is pregnant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Todd: You know I really like the shower. It's like a nice little break from the day ya know? It's almost like bein' in the pool... except you're not in the pool, you're in the shower.

If you didn't get any of that I'm sorry. If you did, feel free to laugh.

Laugh on, Space Cowboy.

Back to the blog once again. Saddly enough I'm single again, but it was something that needed to happen. Messy stuff those relationships, and besides, Radiskull HATE happy. Yeah, so that being said, In recent news:

1. I've decided that bounty hunting isn't respected enough for me to make a living, so I'm going to just have to settle with being a bad ass in my spare time

2. I love cheese, its the best food in the whole world

3. If you were to approach the speed of light time would slow down. Were you to reach the speed of light, your mass would become infinate, a scientific impossibility. The moral of this story: Don't speed on corners.
