wow 2 movies tonight w/ some difference

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 08:54:00 GMT

my movie rating system 1=should have walked out, 5=good but issues but worth a watch 10=BUY IT! & watch it again & again!

1st: Fantastic Mr. Fox. Even though this was a children's film and the animation looks horrible, it was really a very enjoyable film with tons of charm that won me over rather quickly. Its filled with tons of funny liners that we were quoting for a while after the film & it also had a decent message in the long run on how you can't change who you are. The animation is simple stop motion with limited movement but doesn't detract to badly, but can be annoying at 1st. It also made me giggle as it had some old jim henson feel were there was a fun adult element here & there that children would never catch. Unfortunately i don't kids will like it, but I really liked it, so whatever all is good & worth a rent 6.5 out of 10

2nd: Avatar in 3D. Ok, i almost didn't go see this one b/c the trailer really turned me off. Thanks to Shiva & friends talking i figured i would go see it... WOW I have to eat my words, i really enjoyed this film for the most part, but it also put me in a bit of shell shock from the big action scenes, several times this film felt like an emotional grenade but sometimes lacked longevity for me, that was a bit much for me, but wouldn't be an issue for others. It was told well & acting was really good *claps* hurray Sigourney Weaver. The story had some nice touches & several cliches but its Hollywood of course there's cliches & some little things i dislike but its totally worth seeing. That's saying a lot since I have really been hating cgi movies as it is used way to much & i rarely like 3D b/c most 3D i have color realization issues. With this film I was actually able to set a suspension of disbelief that really helped & the 3D was expensive but it was nice, but not a necessary. 7 out of 10

X-mas note

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:49:37 GMT

Ok don't get me wrong folks but x-mas isn't the same for everyone. Please don't be overbearing on others based on your ideology. In short DON'T buy me a gift. If you feel you need to get me something, give me a hug & lets go get a coffee. That means more to me than any present.

I did enjoy looking at xmas lights tonight

Ok well my Honda's days are numbered

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:19:52 GMT

Ok if Toyota doesn't screw this up, I will trade in my car for this one. I will even break the cardinal rule of don't buy a car the 1st yr its out especially if its filled w/ new tech & the motor will be nothing but new so *paws crossed & starts to save $*.
Maybe I'm desperate for a new lite compact Rwd car that is not so expensive that i worry about it all the time.

I blame life for my mood swings

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:13:35 GMT

Wow I think I decided my mood swings is not my fault, yeah I know kind of ridiculous to say but I have to stop & think about whats happened just this month.

Ok so I am as happy as a lark; assuming a lark seems happy by singing, who knows maybe its luvly melody is actually a death cry, that is really their way of saying 'look at how happy i seem why don't you please kill me b/c I can't take it anymore' (WOW that was fun to type). Then out of no where my social groups just forget to call or contact me for like 4 or more days, like seriously NOTHING! don't get me wrong I have things to do, but a little social contact keeps me going. So I find things to keep my mind busy & try not to notice or if you prefer a coping mechanism. Thus I work on personal projects or things to earn $; some go well, sometimes i get nailed in the gut by a wheel (no seriously that hurts!).

Or if I feel lonely, I start calling people I haven't seen in a while & will talk & they tell me about stuff going on & ask why I didn't come to some event. & I get to stare at them like I'm retarded b/c i haven't heard about it & their like well we told your roommate. Which just pisses me off b/c I'm getting left out b/c he didn't tell me! He never tells me whats up until like an hour before something happens assuming i ever hear about it. Hell every time he leaves I feel like I have to ask where he's going just to get invited. Well F^(& that, that just makes me think he doesn't want me around. SO screw him!

Then I have a slight break down b/c someone i really luv to talk to (& we talk like everyday or 2) acts sparse for a week & I get a heavy feeling of being alone. So I suffer for a while then BAM everyone in the world calls me & is like "hey whats up" but I'm socially shell shocked to act accordingly. Then I have nights where people who can affect my way of thinking calls & chat me up that raises my spirits & I'll get some heavy petting from someone else, that puts me in a super spunky mood.

In a way I think life has caused me to be bipolar, i really don't know if I am but I really do wonder. & no i refuse to take meds if i was, so why get diagnosed when i have no plans to treat it, ya know? So please people don't make my roller coaster of life do so many loops back to back where my heart stops & my life flashes before my eyes every 10 seconds followed by a mile of flat track. I just can't take it every week of my life

Is it Karma? or what i deserve? or just random?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:54:46 GMT

*sigh* i like to think i do a lot for people when I can, not always asking for gas $ or a form of payment for a lot that i do, i do it b/c i like to help those in need or promotion of something i like b/c i want to see more of that. Yet I do a lot of stupid ignorant things that I'm sure stacks the bad karma big time. But some days i really do wonder what holds are universe together. *pleth* oh well life goes on & it could always be worse i suppose....

& no i didn't see the snow this morning i was a sleep! dang it i really want to see snow this year! *grumpy face*

sigh no NY trip

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 05:55:31 GMT

well Dec is just around the corner & as i look at my finances there is no way I'm gonna be able to do my NY trip this yr. *sigh* oh well no biggie, i guess maybe next year. SO instead i got a new cd player for my truck hurray usb & aux input! I also ordered myself something special for myself but I'm not telling.

Besides for that i have been busy trying to earn $ for this trip & what not. I had an awesome time at margarita ball (childrens fundraiser), lol i got drunk for the children & learned how to play craps ... well at least understand a good portion of the table.

Furry Fiesta Schedule stand has been built

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:12:26 GMT

Ok yesterday i had some spare time & built this & thus Furry fiesta has a schedule stand. So nobody can complain about not having a posted schedule. next project plz

Fun at Fluff's potluck con giggle

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 07:03:07 GMT

Oh my, lots of people I knew everyone but i was slightly apprehensive at 1st. As lots of people I just turn into a watcher & don't want to be in the way, lol a natural survival mode i seem to go in once in a while. But that soon subsided & i could just be me. Had a grand time & awesome food & it seems my black bean & corn & avocado dip went really well, got a few critiques which i appreciate as its the only way it can get better. Anyway thx you celyddon it was awesome meet. will have to do it again.

Here is the recipe for the Black bean, corn & avocado dip I made

15oz can of goya black bean (drain & rinse heavily)
11oz can of mexicorn (drained)
10oz can of original rotel diced tomatoes with chilies (drained)
3 hass avocados (ripe, dark skin, slightly soft but not firm & NOT MUSHY)
1/2 a medium red onion (diced)
2 cloves of garlic (diced)
small hand full cilantro (small shreds, add more if you luv it like i do)
3 tbs lime juice (add 1 more tbs if needed)
1 tbs olive oil
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 tsp kosher salt (once mixed, add more to preference)
1 tbs ground cumin (once mixed, add more as needed go crazy if ya like)
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (once mixed, add more as desired)

In a small bowl. Douse the avocados in lime juice & add only 1 tsp of kosher salt, then mash up well.
In a fairly large bowl mix all remaining ingredients & mix well with a spoon then add avocado mix as well as the remaining 1 1/2 tsp of kosher salt. Once mixed, taste & add more salt, cumin, cayenne or lime. all depends on personal preference

pumpkin carving

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:24:08 GMT

ok this was fun, & hard. I wanted to do this at oklacon but i was in fear it wouldn't work out so i waited to get home to do so.
& this was done from scratch NO PATTERN!

Oklacon wrap up

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:33:13 GMT

Well Oklacon was fun, I got better acquainted with some friends, met some new ones & put some faces to online names. Once again I have to laugh as I drive or fly so many miles to meet furs who live close to me that I didn’t know, lol one even lives in the same town as me! Lol I have a greater realization of Foxes comment about satellite furs. I also played in the poker tournament & got my butt waxed twice, but it was fun better luck next time. Enjoyed some beers, hug lots of awesome people, wanted to shoot one fur to put her out of her misery that she doesn’t know she was in. All in all it was fun wish it was warmer but that can’t be helped.

Fun at TRF

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:50:49 GMT

Not gonna give a full report, but I will do highlights. Drive was nice, in a way I found something nice about hybrids if you are bored you can make a game of getting the best mpg & wow time really did just fly by. Had a really unexpected run in w/ a couple that I am on questionable grounds with, it was no biggie except I was literally shaking afterwards. All was good enjoyed sound & fury as well as several other shows like always & realized I seemed antisocial at times as I have things to see & do & I will only wait around for so long, I’m a roamer! Afterwards I enjoyed my 1^st time to spin fire poi at the bon fire, IT WAS AWESOME! I even got video of it just ask if your interested to see. I learned that the ground is hard to sleep on, & thx god I brought my grill as the other grill for the group feed had a problem. It was strange to watch celyddon cook spaghetti over charcoal, but hey it worked & on the last night I enjoyed staying up late talking w/ people, which later turned into nick & I looking at stars until it got way too cold.

In short did my usual, had a grand time, spun fire. & i want to learn how to make my own fireworks & omg oklacon is here no time to decompress

another OMG its late project : victim: xbox 360 controller

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:08:27 GMT

Ok, this random I can't sleep but i need to do something project was spurred by the internet of course & my dislikement of my white xbox360 controller b/c it looks boring & i was bored. & now i can say "THAT IS MY CONTROLLER!"

It actually turned out well despite some common little mistakes & it still works like it did before, so it's all good
Also when i was masking it 4 a second color i still had not decided on what i want so i went for random, basically a ferrets best friend
Then i was like I"ll draw on it before clear coat thus the paw
& the "x" on the back isn't for xbox its for no batteries b/c i never use batteries in my controller the wire plug in works just fine
& my camera felt like leaving flash glares & since i haven't slept i don't care

Recommendations 4 anyone thinking about trying:
decide what you want to paint on it or have art skills before you start, thus you get weird & that's what i got, but i like it
don't worry about the sync button (i covered mine & didn't paint it b/c ya can't separate it & i was worried about paint build up)
paint for plastic works amazingly well & don't forget to clear coat it
masking is so important do it right or don't do it at all
Also it was not hard to disassemble or reassemble johnny five *cough* i mean the controller, the lower triggers take a little work to get out to paint but its very doable little to no skill needed

Wonderful days of bliss

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:00:05 GMT

I haven’t really been up to much in the last month, but I have been busy & enjoying life. I spent sometime with some friends playing some old games with & living through some very jumpy moments in horror survival that I’m sure is very amusing to watch me jump. I have greatly enjoyed texting a new friend who I feel a lot of connection with as we seem to see things in a very similar way & is a spectacular person. I have taken pleasure in cuddling with most, light petting with others & heavy petting with a few. & mas <3 to all of those who are willing to teach me new things. As well as the lovely lunch & dinner engagements with those who are very busy & don’t have as much time as they once had. I have had a grand time at the last few parties in the last month I have gone to even in the late when some needed care to make the night. I have liked the time I spend with those several groups that I watch anime with.

For all the times I didn’t feel like I fit in or all the times I felt lonely & to all the times that I was unsure of where my life is going. All of you help me forget this foolish thinking & remind me that it is a wonderful life & I really wouldn’t change much to consider life perfect.

Now I have several things planned in the upcoming weeks & it will be a blast. I luv going out with people & even if I have no real interest in what we are doing I can always find something interesting, but my real focus is being with you my friends.

Thank You to all who are in my Life

la la la, huh? beer yes i like beer

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:14:46 GMT

Wonderful day had sushi with a friend & later that night went to Addison Oktoberfest w/ some other furs. Who knew being a furry would get me free beer at Oktoberfest! Yes it was supremely awesome & it wasn’t a fur who got us the beer, hurray beer!

So off topic, Don’t try to describe what we are by explaining what we are not, but to add to that don’t lump us all in with you, k thx also refer to "Presenting the Furry Fandom to the Public" at AC check the youtube

Ok I’m late but I’m going to say it anyway. *back hands Tyra Banks* yes it was bad form for those furs to do so as well, but honestly I watched the clip & not a huge deal I have seen worse concept wise.

Wait, wait was it furry kanye? *furry kanye:” I’m really happy for you, I’m gonna let you finish, but MTV sex2k was one of the worst media related pieces of all time“*

k…didn’t ask, Anyway bad press happens get over it & don’t be that fur who got caught on tape, k thx

still decompressing, inglorious bastards, & anger

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:33:16 GMT

rah being home still feels weird, yet I have been really cheerful all day. I also have talked to several friends that I have been missing.
I also saw inglorious bastards & FREAKING LUVED the craziness of the film
Then when I got home i got my face scrapped by low tree branches, it sucks being tall at an apt complex that doesn't maintain the tree line. So i took care of them! also it turned into an indecent with a very rude courtesy officer but i wasn't gonna back down, i got hit in the face 4 the last time by those branches & I will be filing a complaint against him in the morning. Nothing will happen but I refuse to back down on something I have complained about a month ago, & I didn't hurt the trees I just did proper pruning for the walkway

back home from MFM

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:31:54 GMT

Ok this is the 1st small con that i have gone to in a long time only to remember why i love jumbo cons. BUT! I also learned the reason for small cons & why they are important. Don't get me wrong I do think i will attend next year so that's saying something, but many things about the con bothered me, but awesomeness of furs also occurred. It seems people have more time & willingness to meet new people & give attention to them.

So anyway to keep it short had a good time will do it again
& super <3 to all those who i met

Just glad to be home

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:45:46 GMT

Oh I have been down south doing some work for family, though i did get to watch TRF rehearsal fights & walked around TRF grounds & took some pictures that i could never get before with all the insane people running around. As for all that i have plenty of $ in my pocket again. yawn... thx god to be back in my own bed again... but for only so long as MFM is soon

Productive moments

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:37:50 GMT

Last few days I got a bit done on my race car which i have been taking a hiatus from, but when i thought i was out i feel as if i have been pulled back in. In case ya don't know this is a car I have been working on for some time its a 1983 Mazda Rx7 w/ a 302 V8 mustang motor that I swapped in it. Lets see I mounted the radiator, radiator hoses mocked up, heater bypass lines ran, alternator mount kit on & sized up a v-belt, trans cooler mounted & lines ran, front suspension all buttoned up, cooling fans mounted. heh its kind of nice sitting there thinking if i finish up a few other things that i might be ready to start up the dang thing. Oh that will be a wonderful day!

Pics -->

Also after watching Rescue Me w/ my rents ( i can't wait 4 season finale next week ) I went home to the apt & got a silly idea to put sound in the kitchen. So now my kitchen has an independent surround sound! lol i know kind of odd but now i can cook & listen to whats on the tv.

New things going down

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 02:54:44 GMT

Hmm I have new pillows & insanely soft sheets on my bed & Thursday I plan to break them in w/ a friend, oh it will be fun. I found a great story I think I'm gonna try & reenact as it was a very sinful read that sounds like a fun plan to attempt.

As for other things I am doing well I have bounced back, thx to some good friends & I got a plan to make some new poi, this time I'm gonna use some advice & try some quick connect 360* spinners, also I am gonna make the ends look like little fox heads. Thus i am gonna need to brush up on some plush toy making so i can make some decent heads but they will still be very simple. They won't be done for mfm unless i find some spare time but afterwords i plan to get right on that

Well I didn't see that coming

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:35:50 GMT

Ya know I just don't understand some people: some hold grudges long beyond rational thought, some who don't even know you will judge you from stories that they heard 2nd hand & others string you along only to get rid of ya as you serve no purpose anymore. I have to say for humanity I would like to think we have become more civilized, but as far as I can see, it looks just as dark as it did yesterday and the day before that.

In a way I want to join them and say hurtful things back or seek vengeance, but it wouldn't solve anything. What was said & done can not be taken back or resolved by such ill manners. Feelings are hurt & those how stand in judgment of me hold no ground. So I will continue to have fun in my life paying no attention to those who wish to drag me down.

Random babble

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:27:13 GMT

Well I went to go see “funny people” & once again I saw a movie that got me thinking again about what’s really important to me in life. & … wow I had a million positive & negative things fly through my head & I got a little bit dramatic with myself but it turns out I’m actually ok. I would like to get more attention from people, but since I have been fairly conservative I figure that should be an expected issue, which I need to break that habit soon & NEED TO DO OR MAKE SOMETHING MEMORABLE!

Anyway off to sleep & brainstorm 4 now

its 5am WHY AM I WET ! ? ! ?

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:34:45 GMT

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH>>>>>>>>>>>>>...............
.
SO its raining outside & I am having a wonderful dream where A little white fox is playing in a sweetish field & then I wake up, "gee its raining hard out there" I think to myself & as I roll over I am suddenly greeted by the worse thought ever in a bed WHY AM I WET?!?!

So apparently there is a leak in our roof & it perfectly located over my bed! GRRRRRrrrr I'm never gonna get back to sleep now.....

CHIHUAHUA RACES ! ! ! Aug 8th

Well its over! I feel cheery again now that my birthday passed

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:03:28 GMT

Its crazy but I knew I was gonna be depressed on my birthday this year & I was, but I had a nice little life intervention to remind myself all in reality was well & that I was being utterly ridiculous. TY to all those who sent Hugs & MSGs & know I am back to a chipper mood & I think it will likely last till December (the month that always SUXS!).

Oh it’s raining again

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:34:04 GMT

I look into the mirror & I see it is raining again, but not a cloud can be seen from the outside. Sometime I wonder where it comes from, yet I see no cure for the unwilling to openly express. I’ll just put on my happy umbrella & step out into the sun, as I don’t want others to see the rain inside myself.
