Some Stuff & Some Things

Well the summer continues...I guess here's what I've been up to...the sucky and the non-sucky

the sucky

-being away from my girlfriend (majorly sucks)
-working at the popcorn plant outside town (kinda sucks, but hey at least I finally have a job and am getting some decent pay)
-getting a severe farmer's tan while working (sucks or awesome depending on how redneck you are)

the non-sucky

-I finally have been getting consistent with working out and stuff which I think pretty much has never happened with me before. I know I'll be on and off again when the school year rolls around and gets busy. I've been riding this bike machine at the fitness center in town once and a while, it's called an expresso machine (I know weird name for an exercise machine). Anyways, basically it's like any other bike machine except that there's a screen in front of you of you riding a bike on a trail and you have to move the handlebars and stuff to turn. And when you go uphill and stuff the resistance increases. Anyways, it's kinda cool, but the highlight of my experience with it was when seeing a yeti. That's right I was biking this one snowy mountain path and he was waving at me, it would have been sweet if they had a level where the yeti chased you or something.

-me and my friends have thought up a video series idea for the wow4now channel this summer. if we can actually do it, I'll be happy even if we don't make any other videos this summer. basically, it's going to be a choose-your-own adventure series and we hope it will come out awesome. we watched a few other choose-your-own adventures on youtube but I'm hoping we'll be able to top them. basically, the other ones we've seen have really only been cool because they're a chose-your-own adventure, but the story itself wasn't too interesting, random, or funny, or the video was shot pretty poorly. haha, but basically they're will be 3 different main storylines you can go down depending on some choices you make very early on in the story. so basically we're shooting 3 movies with lots of random deaths and easter eggs in between. outlining the whole thing took quite a while, and now I'm writing a shooting script and doing some video tests for effects we're doing. pretty much it's the most pre-production we've ever done, which really isn't saying too much since very little usually goes into it. anyways, now I have really overhyped this and will probably let you down with it...so ignore everything I just said and set your expectations low, haha.

anyways, as you can see I really have nothing too interesting to talk about so I'll let you guys get on with your lives now.

Summer....

So Summer has been interesting so far...

-I didn't end up getting into the clinical trial that I wanted to, so I'm not going to make the big bucks that way...I passed the initial screening and everything, but when I went to the mandatory doctor's appointment he found a lump on my neck. So pretty much I've had to go in and out doing tests for that for the last couple weeks, but thankfully it turned out to be nothing. However, they figured out that my iron levels are a little too high for some reason, so I have to cut back on stuff with iron in it...which sucks, because a lot of awesome food has large quantities of iron in it...such as cereal. This morning I wanted to have a delicious bowl of Cocoa Puffs...but instead I head to eat granola...which I mean hey, granola's not bad...I think it's just that because I know I can't eat good cereals I crave them more...hopefully this low iron thing will just be a quick trend...

-I got my haircut recently...apparently this makes me look younger. I've been mistaken for being under 18 twice in the last two weeks (I'm 20). Really, I have no problem with looking younger than I am now...as long as this continues throughout my whole life.

-I've developed a strange method of showering lately. It began with bringing music into the bathroom. Then it advanced to music and dimming the lights. And now it has advanced to listening to techno music, turning off all the lights, and then turning on my iTunes visualizer and aiming the screen towards my shower curtain. It's sweet it's like my shower curtain just changes colors.

-The other night I watched Hercules in New York, Arnold Schwarzenegger's first film. It's great because every minute or so Arnie says this line and then you will be like "what the heck did he just say?" because his accent is thick. The movie took my to a new level of ridic when Hercules wrestled the mighty bear at the zoo...the man in the incredible bear suit, haha.

Anyways, I have nothing to interesting to write about at the moment, so I will leave you with some words of wisdom which I have just stolen from the world wide web.
