Questioning her good intentions, jealousy's a bad invention....

'He who's tired of Weird Al is tired of life.' -Homer Simpson

lol ah that's a great episode. So true too.

I'm unsure what to write about.

For one thing, I'm pretty depressed lately trying to deal with my damn oversensitive pysche and jealousy of people having better friendships.

but

Does anyone really care? I'm inclined to say no but it's not like loads of people read this anyway. I usually like to try and write it as if people actually were. Which is counter to me sort of feeling the need to put things out there. Would I want to read about some boring guy's candid issues? likely not.

Of course not talking to people about problems generally isn't good for the manifestation of them and you just start to project into it more and more.

I need a hobby but I'm not sure what that would be. Since it can't cost a lot or require internet or other people. And something I'm actually interested in doin. There lies the problem.

This seems strange and almost counter intuitive but having a few friends that I do stuff with almost regularly sort of like makes me feel worse then when I didn't before. I'm always wanting to do stuff and feel bad and lonely when I don't have anything happening on a weekend when before I didn't expect to do anything since I only had things every 2 months. Which was the cheaper option too :P Anyway, messed up I know.

I get a week off for spring break next week, which will be quite boring. Might end up goin to Dauphin to check things out if Bob hears back from the station there. Otherwise just sitting around and some working in the latter portion of the week. There's new people at work. I haven't really talked to them. Only the one I was working with yesterday and I just casually talked and asked things, diff than how I talk to others there. Less chance of them thinking I'm asking them out that way. hahaha (you can't really tell just from the text but I'm rolling my eyes with that half hearted laugh.)

I'm likely gonna be quitting in 2 months and if I happen to need to go back there again at some point, I'm not exactly confidant they'd hire me back.

At least there's some good movies coming out in the next few months, although I'll probly have to go by myself. One friend probly won't want to or will say she does but can't find a day to go. And my other friend probly will go b/c he works full-time and is very loose with his money but he won't really want to since he isn't a fan of horror.

The Crazies comes out tomorrow, looks interesting. I'll wait for the B-D review tho to decide whether I really wanna see it. Alice in Wonderland the week after. Clash of the Titans the start of April. New Nightmare on Elm Street April 30. 2nd full trailer came out for it today. It's a good trailer and all but I'm slightly apprehensive about the movie. There's no way it'll be as awesome as the original. One of the finest horror movies in history. Plus I dunno about Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy. The burn effects aren't great, it's missing something. Hopefully it's an entertaining and creepy ride for what it is at least.






I miss being more involved in wrestling like I was. Helping out with the SPW shows. I dunno about this NXT show WWE is doing. Half reality, half wrestling show with pros 'mentoring' rookies. They play the colour commentators against each other riffing on smark fans. All because they don't wanna recognize the success and talent men like Bryan Danielson have had in indies. TNA is on mondays now but there won't be a real monday night war for at least a year. TNA's booking is ridiculous and Hogan isn't gonna help in the slightest.

end transmission.

update- work

So I tried out this transition trick that Jake told me about to smooth out one of the hard edits on this. I don't know if it worked greatly but there's probly only so much you can do with that part.



I can't seem to find anyone to do a william shatner voice for the other idea I have.

What We Have Here....Is A Failure To Communicate

I work at Zellers. Which in case you're unaware is like the less-evil Canadian version of Wal-Mart. Most people will complain and bitch about it. How it's a terrible job and it sucks. I'll usually at least half-assedly defend it. It's not really that bad. Sure, most customers are a fist full of assholes and stuff doesn't work correctly and there isn't really anything you can do about it. And you gotta work with grumpy old people with a complex that they should get different treatment b/c their older or have been there longer and high school girls that are all nervous and air-headed and twitchy and you say anything to them their like I dunno, nothing, giving you that look, but it's not THAT bad. (That's a ridiculous run-on sentence. Diane would smack me :P) You know what they say: We are doing the work of pathetic, lazy morons (sidebar-- that's probly one of my favorite lines from Adventureland.) There is fun to be had at times and a handful of the people you work with are awesome.

I generally don't mind working with the teens 7 years younger than me. I try and be friendly, make conversation and get along with them. However what really annoys me is when the disconnect between us kinda rears it's head and you get the current situation where most people see me as some kind of store pervert b/c some of them think I was asking them out just b/c I happened to be trying to be polite and friendly and asked them what they were doin on the weekend. I can assure you that was not my intention. I was pretty angry after being informed of this and people not believing me. Kinda felt the need to rip into a few people but I'm over that now.

It's really not too surprising that I don't feel involved and included most of the time in most situations. I'm kinda lookin forward to most likely quitting when it's time for my practicum. Even tho practicum and the time period afterwards frightens me. I don't think I'm gonna get a very good one. I put audio production as the top thing I wanted to do... no, I don't know why I did that. B/c I'd much rather doin board-op or on-air. oi.

End transmission

Work

So I finally got a project done that I had been working on every now and then the last few months. Check it out and let me know what ya think.

It's a composite of 4 movie trailers that I tried to combine into sounding like one. There are a few parts still that could be better but for using what I had available to me I like it. Might work for a demo thing.



This is a spot I made to play on-air when I was talking about new cd releases and I put together I little video to go along with it. I had just seen Paranormal Activity recently and came up with this. Nothing special or hard but the idea amused me.





I'm gonna start at some point on another idea I had. A phony album promo of William Shatner doing spoken-word versions of modern top 40 favorites like Katy Perry or Lady Gaga.
