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.

  1. I'm expecting a ton of wow4now videos this summer.

    and topping all the other choose your own adventure videos should be easy, they're always boring/not funny/uninteresting, but you guys actually have talent so I'm excited.
