Yesterday, I was stoked because I recieved my web camera. It is weird because also yesterday I ran into the problem of mispelling recieve.




Weird!



Either way what happened yesterday is my web camera came and I unraveled the plastic and went to work. I was so happy it came that I made 2 videos with in a span of a couple of hours. Crazy....right? I tend to think so because normally I am shooting movies oh on a two or three month basis. The other cool thing was my friend Zo showed me his friends video. Yeah, it is like a he said he said thing but not.



His friend some really high quality stuff. And on top of that Zo wants to shoot something soon.







Zo had told me to watch this movie. So I put my eyes close to the screen. Then I saw a sleek and sexy WRX shoot by the exhaust coughing and all. It was sweet! But within the movie his friend somehow managed to shoot him playing basketball and the sexy black WRX. That kid has talent.







He said during one of the shots that his friend was in the trunk.

Fortress of Solitude

My life seems a tad stressful right now job wise.

I need to stretch for a Fortress of Solitude . Isolated from everyone and everything to collect my thoughts. Not even a Walden's Pond. What is a Walden's Pond . Is that even right?
Fuck it.
I still need the Fortress of Solitude. At home I am sometimes not even able to find that peace.

With a hell of a last two days completed. Where does it all go down. Does it go crashing like the show Lost. Or does it get rosier and greener. I am hoping that it is the latter.

The start to 2016 has been pretty good . But was 2015 the Pinnacle year. Was I just really worrying to much about this year? 2013-14 were not very good.

I wasn't even thinking about this year. I am just trying to put one foot in front of the other. This is interesting....

I guess a good Fortress of Solitude would be the Library. Where I am friends with books. I love people but sometimes their ineptitude strikes me as stupid. Why are people liberally so dumb? Not all people ? But do they deserve a Fortress of Solitude?

I have no idea.

I just want the year to be well. I am struggling consistently with this idea. But it has many factors to consider:
                  The Old Man's retirement
                  Ergo; His relationship with his son. Not being able to adequately support the family. This narrow minded-fuckingness of only retirement. Yes, Pops you worked for 39 fucking years but don't drag the ship down and you with it.

               The job where I try hard and only look at getting reprimanded for things that are out of my control. Much like the fucking weather!


   The unfinished works that haven't been published.

The best friends that live in other states. A rarity to see either.

The growing up part...still working on it.

Personal matters regarding an Uncle Freuben.

There's a littany of problems I need to battle.
And I suppose in a small way writing is that Fortress of Solitude. Blogging is that Fortress of Solitude. Art is my Fortress of Solitude. So I do have them.
But I need a physical place to go new...in the year 2016.

The Walking Dead midseason review

Well , I really can't just rev up the spoilers now can I.

I am just very relieved that a character has returned. And I am very, very, excited about the direction of season 6.

This to me has been the strongest season since season 1. And yeah, I have been watching season 1. I have watched 5 full years of the Walking Dead. I have loved every bit of it too.

Episode 7 was just to me so damn spectacular. And 8 just tried to ratchet up the tension. So much fucking blood. That's always a good thing. But the tension shown by some characters is knife-butter cutting tension and god is it good!

The Walking Dead can only keep expanding getting better. And without giving anything away for episode 9 when  it returns in February....shit is about to hit the fan a billion times a second. The gore will be amped up and the blood will be squeezed even more. Earth shattering shit will prolly happen.
And like Game of Thrones we need to be on edge .

The only way to achieve that is to brutally murder characters we love.
So we need to be cautious as fans and highly on alert about characters we love.
This show pulls no punches. And I love it for the brutal challenges that Rick and the others have to run into. We have a fantastic show and I can't wait as of writing this for more Walking Dead.

I am still behind on the comic. But the show is really light in comparison.
I can't wait to see what Kirkman and Co. have in store.

Brutally .........delicious!
Zombie-killing at it's finest.

Go kill more zombies!
Gotta kill them good.
By any means necessary.
Die zombies die!

Hot topic: Backlogs of video games

Yes, normally during the summer it seems like you have infinite time to game.

Let's assess what games I am currently playing:

Fallout 4
The Witcher
You Must Build a Boat
Clicker Heroes

I dabble in Planetside 2. I love that game and want to put more time in it.
I am all over the map with FPS's . I just got back into Tribes.


My completion of games is dismal this year.

The Last of Us remastered and DLC content
Fear 3. To me it counts because I beat it this year.






Games I am trying : Red Orchestra 45-Ostrafront, Red Orchestra, Just Cause, Damn you Steam and your sexy sales.

So as you can see I am a busy gamer. But to me it doesn't matter how many games I beat in a given year. Trust, me...I have been averaging 10 somehow a year or somewhere in there. It is if I really loved the game and want to try something new. An example: I beat The Last of Us remastered , hands down a masterpiece in my book. The very first game for my PS4.

Hotdogs and mayhem

I am not sure how to recall this dream.
It was like a puzzle with bits and pieces missing.

I was in some sort of restaurant with friends. I think for some reason they kept giving us like endless hot dogs. For what reason I had no clue.
Just this guy kept giving me and my friend Jonny hot dog after hot dog.
And then there was an announcement.

I think for some reason I found myself at a beach with waves. Then I was submerged in water but no hot dogs were anywhere.
It was pretty wacky people in the restaurant were just laughing. Not at anything. Maybe it was all the hot dogs that were coming out of space?

No idea what the fuck went on.

Another recorded dream though.

Is someone going to hook me up with a litany of hot dogs?

When my life revolves around CU football.

Yeah! I have been a CU fan for a long time but that's not where this is going.
Rather bitch about CU football I am going to critique it.

Yes! Critique.

My reasons are this. I have watched almost 8 or 9 years without a Bowl Game. But to me right now it seems like the Buffs can't win. With a very close loss to a ranked UCLA and unranked USC they were so close. But close only gets you so far. Not to mention there was blatant horrible referees in the game. How do you call a Buff CB for pass interference when the receiver and the corner both have a right to the football. Frustrations upon frustrations for the 4-7 CU BUFFS.

Losing 35-31 to the Bruins caused me to go insane. And I almost went nuclear when the Buffs lost by 3 to the Trojans. The Buffs have a ton of pieces to win games. This year I was proud. I saw CU snap a conference streak. But they let that momentum dictate their next game and the next. Rather than driving forward they are stuck in neutral. 4-7 is a record the Buffs should have changed to 6-5 and bowl eligible.

Critiquing as good as I can I find a lot wrong. CU can't stop running backs in the middle of the field and are getting gashed. Plus Sefo Lifau is now hurt. So it is up to a red shirt Freshman to try and win games. Cade Aspay has to try and beat a WSU Cougar team that will be going bowling. WSU is 7-3 and 5-2 in conference. The Buffs have to be on the brink of an upset and win a game they aren't supposed to win. If the record shows anything it is not indicative of the performance on the field. Sefo has gotten better. Spruce is finding openings as great recievers do. Lindsay is getting better. Derek Carr is getting better. The line looks better and still 4-7. They have to try and contain a gunslinger in QB Luke Falk. And I am not familiar with the Cougar's running back but this is a good Cougar football team. The Buffs have been 3-0 against the Cougars in PAC-12 play but I am worried and for good reason.

CU has lost close games. They have to try and win one . Rather than watch this game as a fan. I am sick of the close games. I will watch from a far and see if they can win one without me. Like my cheering has anything to do with them actually winning. But I digress. I want to see them win a game. And try to build momentum for the next game. CU needs a win desperately. Coach Mac needs a win and the program needs a win. 5-7 looks better than 4-7, doesn't it?

Go Buffs.

I think there was a bus

I think I had a dream where there was a bus.
But the bus was still a bus. But then all a sudden my friend Johnny was near it, and then something happened...

But that's where it would get great. There to me was an ominous kinda environment but there wasn't a lot to go on. And it didn't mean a whole lot. I guess my friend was near the bus but it started going under somewhere.
No water or nothing just under.

Then of course I just woke up.

I don't remember a whole lot but just small fragments. I think I got yelled at one fucking point or another but I was definitely confused.
