I heard some great news this morning... The part for my camera worked!!! My dad is picking it up in the morning. Heck yeah! I've waited weeks! I want to try and do a video tomorrow. It may be short and sweet, I'm just glad to have my camera back!
So, Today was kinda boring. Spent most of it talking to Gage, lol. Woah.. I just realized I have an email from Jake. MSN Messenger didn't say I had an email. Oops! Hold on let me email him....
Ok done. Sorry about that man!
Ooh, my favorite YouTuber VenetianPrincess put up an awesome parody yesterday. Check it out!
Haha, I LOVE HER!
Well that's pretty much it for this entry. Over to the right I added a box with my friend's blogs. So far I only have Jake's and Gage's there because none of my other friends have one, lol. Gage's is new so go check it out before he gets too popular to notive his readers :p
Whatsup! Today was pretty tight. I didn't really do much. The part came in for my camcorder. I think it is the right part. My dad is taking it to the guys who have my camera tomorrow so hopefully they can put it in. I can't wait to get it back! I have been having withdraws lol!
I got a webcam on Sunday. It is a Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000. It was about $40 so I guess it was worth the price. The sound quality is pretty bad though but i like the picture. So yesterday I decided to do a webcast on BlogTV. I was very nervous and didn't have much planned. Lol, here is the video to let you see how it went. It only recorded the first hour but it went on for about 2 and a half.
I had a lot of problems with the audio. But hey, it was my first try. Only a few people showed up but it was pretty fun. I hope to do another, more planned, show next Tuesday.
I was going to do a video today but I want to wait and see if they fix my camera. I'd rather use that than the webcam. I've gotten a lot more readers lately from youtube so thanks for coming and feel free to leave your URL in a comment! I'd love to check out your channel.
So yeah, that's pretty much my entry. Everyone have a great night. Especially you Jake, glad you survived the quake, lol. Speaking of the earthquake. Check out this video from the taping of Judge Judy:
(EDIT: Found a video from multiple shows. Check it out:)
Woah! Pretty scary stuff. I'm glad there were no injuries or at least not much.
I'm going to DIE!!! I still haven't got my camera back from the repair shop! GRRRR! Lol, this is torture. They said hopefully it will be ready tomorrow but I really doubt it!
So I just wanted to do an update for you since it's been several days since I last did one. Nothing much has gone on here. I had a short scout meeting last night about an OA campout coming up August 8th so I'm looking forward to that.
Umm, yeah that's pretty much all thats really went on this past week. I uploaded a short video today just to fill up a space for this time i've been without my camera, lol:
I know it isn't that great but I just wanted to upload something to keep my subscribers happy until I can make a real video. And youtube really messed up the audio at some parts. Sorry about that!
I've talked with Jake and Gage a lot this week. they are doing pretty good.
Yeah, so i guess that's it for this update. Talk to you all later!
School starts in exactly 1 month and 1 day. No!!! I'm scared. But I am also excited to see what it's gonna be like.
I talked to Gage and Jake last night. Well I was talking to Jake and then he fell asleep on me. Haha, that's ok dude. I forgive you 100%! But yeah, I got to talk to them and it was awesome.
I haven't heard from Gage at all today and that's pretty rare so I really hope he is doing ok. He better come on soon! Please?
So today has mostly been spent on the computer. I downloaded this new special effect software and I have been playing around with it all day. I wish I had my camera back so I could mess around with my own clips. We haven't heard from the place so I'm hoping that it's ready Tuesday. But yeah, I played around with some light saber effects and some green screening. My walls suck as a blue screen because of the lighting in my room so it would be extremely hard for me to pull off a blue screen. But I still want to try though. There are also a bunch of color filters to make it have different looks. If your wondering what the software is, I'm not telling you because I got a cracked version, haha. It normally costs about $450 dollars though.
Gage just signed on, will he respond....YES!!!!!! I'm glad he's ok!
So anyways... That's about it for my entry. The video is doing pretty good. I have almost 500 views. And I'm getting tons of comments and messages telling me that I'm hot so that's a good thing, lol! I'm also getting tons of comments asking about my arm, I even had one say "liar, you do to have two arms!". lol, what the heck? Umm, how do they figure I'm making it up? lol, I wonder if some people are brainwashed by youtube sometimes :)
Everyone have a good night, especially you Jakey! :p
1. You read. 2. You Care. 3. You're Always There. 4. You like me, I like you. 5. You made me smile. 6. You made me Cry. 7. You.... ok I'm bored now...
Soo.. Whatsup? If you are wondering why the heck I just wrote the 7 things up there, I just uploaded my parody of Miley Cyrus' 7 Things. First, here is her video:
And this is mine:
So yeah, I've been working on it for the past week but I'm a little upset that I couldn't use all the clips I filmed because my camera broke. My dad called the place again today and they said it may be by Tuesday. Aww! They said it would be ready yesterday, now I have to wait a whole week? Oh well, at least I finished the video. But now my brother and I have another idea for one. I'm not gonna give it away, but it will be based off of one of my favorite shows (and no, it's not on Disney).
I haven't heard from Jake in a couple days. I hope he's doing ok. I talked to Gage a little bit this morning but his computer is messed up so we haven't talked that much. I hope he gets it fixed soon!
I just remembered that my camera had the tape in it from my literature project "A Miserable Merry Christmas". Oh no! Lol, oh well, they can make fun of it all they want. It's on youtube anyways.
So that's pretty much it. Jake I hope to hear from you soon. You to Gage. Yall have a great night!!!
Hey! Wow it has been so long since I have posted. I guess most of my online time has been taken up by talking with my friends. Gage and I have chatted for several hours this past week and me and Jake have exchanged emails almost every day. The time in between I've been either watching youtube videos or talking to my other friends on the board. I have said before that I would be more dedicated to this blog if I knew who read it. Even if this is your first time reading, i'd really appreciate it if you left me a comment on one of my posts. Just to know it's worth it. Even if no one responds I will keep updating, not to worry, lol. But I just would like to know if I am just doing this for myself and my close friends, or are there others of you out there. If so, feel free to leave me a comment, i won't bite, lol.
Hmm, let's see. What's been going on in my life. Well, my friend Gage and I have been talking lately and he has shared some very personal stuff with me. I'm really glad that he trusts me with it and that's what makes him the great friend that he is. I like knowing how my friends are feeling or what they are going through. Some try to bottle it all up and hide it from people, scared of what they might think. And that is understandable. But most of my friends know that I would never reject someone or think differently just because they are going through a hard time and I really like it when they share stuff like that with me. I don't know, i'm just rambling, haha.
Oh yeah, I uploaded this video:
Now you are probably wondering why the Title is ":( :( :(". Two days ago my brother and I were working on making a video for youtube. We finished all the shooting and I hooked my camera to my computer and started to record it onto my system. I noticed about half way through my camera kept loosing connection. I wiggled the cable and it helped a little but then it stopped working all together. I looked in the camera where the cable goes and noticed 2 of the prongs were bent, one of those possible broken off. My dad and I went to Best Buy to try and get it fixed and they said they had to send it off to Connecticut to get it fixed. They said it wouldn't be back until early August. NO!!!! I told them no thanks and took it back home, very upset. Yesterday my dad took it to a computer repair place and they took it and said they should have it fixed in a couple days. Phew! It was $65 dollars for the prair but my parents covered that. My dad called today and they said they were still looking for the part. He said it will be a couple more days and to call back tomorrow. So I hope they have it fixed! I want to import this video and start editing it for youtube. Plus I miss my camera :(.
That's all that I can really think of that's happened so far this week. Been dreaming every night. Normally just crazy dreams, but more than half have been about school. I guess I'm just really nervous and scared. I wish I would have chose to stay at my old school in a way. But I know that this is the best thing to do because I have more oportunities to help in college. My old school didn't have anything of the sort. I just don't like the fact that I am going to a completely strange and unfamiliar place. I'm so used to being surrounded by people I know. I wish they could all come with me, haha.
I guess I'll sign off for the night. Everyone have an awesome night and i'll try and update tomorrow.
But I am back! This week has been awesome! I wish I could go back! Here is what I did all week.
Sunday: We got up around 6AM and drove to the campground which took about four hours. Once there we set up and ate lunch. My brother and I went riding bikes and went to the Atalaya Castle and walked through it. I called my girlfriend then went to bed.
Monday: My parents went early to the beach so my brother and I stayed in the camper playing Xbox most of the morning. When they got back we all went to a few "junk stores" but I didn't get anything. I wanted to save my money until we went to Broadway at the Beach. I called Gage when we got back but there wasn't an answer so I left him a message. He called back later while we were walking on the beach that night and we talked for about an hour. Then I had to go get a shower. After my shower I headed to bed.
Tuesday: My brother and I rode bikes around the campground for most of the day then watched a movie in the later afternoon. We went out to eat at a seafood restaurant called "Ghost Ship". We used to go there every year but we haven't been since they moved locations. The buffet was still awesome though! After we ate we went to a Marina down the road and walked around the docks and the church beside it for a little while. Then we went back to camp and I went to bed.
Wednesday: I woke up kinda early because I wanted to go down to the beach with my parents. I got ready and then stayed down there for about an hour and then got bored so I went and rode my bike some and went back to the RV to watch "Vacancy". By the way, it was really good. See it if you like scary movies! I called Gage later that night and we talked for a little over an hour. Then I fell asleep watching another movie.
Thursday: My parents went to the beach early. When they got back we got ready to go to BATB (Broadway at the Beach; not Beauty and the Beast, lol). Before we left there were some big storm clouds so we were hoping that we wouldn't get rained out. We were unlucky. Once we got to the Myrtle Beach area it was pouring down. You could barely see in front of you. We parked and ran to the sheltered area where there were a bunch of shops. We walked through there but then got to the end. There were more places on the other side. So my family and I took off across the boardwalks and pavement in the pouring rain. We got to the other side and my parents chose to stay under the shelter at the theater. Me and my bro ran out to the other stores. One area we ran through was flooded and the water was up to our ankles. It felt like we were at a water park! If only I had a bathing suit and was barefoot! Anyways, we didn't go to any stores and met back up with our parents. We drove across the street to the Hard Rock Cafe. While my parents registered my brother and I went walking to some more stores. The rain finally let up and we went inside to eat. The place looked really cool and the food was awesome! I had the 10oz Legendary Burger with a Caesar Salad and fries. For dessert I had a hot fudge Sunday. Yummy! When we finished we left back to the park. I wish it hadn't rained because I have been saving up for a while for money to spend around the stores. Oh well, at least I have it all now!
Friday: We went out on the beach around noon and I played in the water and laid out some. When we got back my parents packed up and me and my brother walked down to the store and hung out around there for a while. When we got back I called Gage and we talked for a few minutes then I went to bed early.
Saturday (Today): We got up around 6AM and got out of the park at 6:30. The ride home was long and I listened to music almost all the way. We stopped to eat at McDonalds for breakfast and then got home around 11:30AM. I got caught up on my emails and forums. I read Jake's journal. He went on vacation this week too so I can't wait until he gets back so we can talk about it. I thought about him so much this week and I wished that he could have been there. But at least he was having a good time as well and I hope they had a safe and fun trip.
Here is a video I made with pictures I took on the trip:
Well, I guess I better go. I'm hungry and I want to email Jake so he will have something when he gets home. Everyone have a good night and an awesome Sunday!
Hey. I just wanted to write tonight to tell everyone bye! We are going to the beach early tomorrow morning and won't be back until next Saturday. I woke up with a bad crick in my neck and I still can't move it without it hurting extremely bad. I hope it's better in the morning. Anyways, everyone have an awesome week and I'll write ya when I get home to let you know how it went. I love you, haha!
Hey. Happy Fourth of July!!! Sorry for the few days of being a no show. Been too lazy to update plus not much going on. Been kind of a lazy week for me with not much to do besides sit at the computer or listen to music and relax. I've been writing Jake back and forth all week and he has stayed busy. He needs to send some of his life to me because I have none during weeks like this, haha. I've also chatted to Gage for long hours. Well hours can't be longer than hours but you get the point. We voice chatted again a couple of days ago for about 2 and a half hours.
Oh, by the way. About my latest video. I was looking through some of my old cassette tapes that me and my friend made. I must have gotten bored and wrote a song. The date that is said later on the tape is April 22nd, 2001. I was 7 years old, lol. Here is the video:
I realize that parts of this song use some lyrics and tune from John Loeffler's song "Together Forever". I have no clue who he is but there is no copyright infringement intended, lol. Hey, I was 7!
Anyways, I haven't had a chance to post that here yet until now. I also found a clip on one of my tapes from when my brother was a baby and my mom was playing with him trying to get him to talk. It's only for about 20 seconds but it was really cool to listen to knowing how long ago it was. No idea how it got on my tape though.
Today I talked to Gage early and spent the later part of my day loading my MP3 player with songs. I now have a total of 209 songs! I don't ever listen to half of them but they are there just in case I am in the weird mood to listen to them.
Sunday we are leaving for the beach and won't be back until next Saturday. We are going to our usual place we camp. I haven't been there in 3 years because last summer we went to the Outer Banks and the summer before that I went to a scout camp while my family went. So I'm kind of excited. I'm bringing my digital camera because I want to take a bunch of pictures. I plan on taking pictures at every vacation place I go and choosing the best one to be framed and to go on my wall. I have a feeling that this will carry on when I get my own house too. Maybe dedicate a room or a wall to travel since I love to visit new places. I don't know, it's just an idea that seems pretty cool at the moment. Oh yeah, Gage gave me his number so I'm going to be keeping in contact with him while I'm gone. Also gonna be calling my girlfriend while I'm there too. Unfortunately I won't have a computer so I can't talk to Jake or update my blog but I will as soon as I get home. Well maybe not as soon but you know what I mean.
Man my room is a mess. I just cleaned off my desk and now it's full of junk again. Hold on, I'm going to clean up. Be right back!......Back! Man I am such a nerd! I hate cleaning my room when I'm told too but when I think it's messy I hate it! But its clean now! I still have some change on my desk but I hope my dad can trade me out on it for some bills. Right now I have $75 dollars to take to the beach and I'm getting $5 at the end of this week. Hopefully that is enough to spend!
Well I have bored yall long enough. Have a great night and I'll try and update tomorrow. If I don't get to the blog I'll talk to you all when I get home! Jake I'll write you before I leave. You are awesome man!
