So I got hurt recently and the day after vowed never to date again... well what do ya know i have another one on friday - im just about as biploar as someone who isnt bipolar can be without being diagnosed.
Watched Forrest Gump tonight... realized for the first time that Jenny died of AIDS.
Bought an X-mas gift for a friend of mine.. its half joke half practical gift, and completely functional for the least obvious purpose possible.
Tomorrow I will bring my camera to school... take some new pix.. haven't done that for a while. Everyone ends up thinking im a stalker because of all the pictures i take of people, but hey most of them say they hate them, then use them as they're profile pix the next day on facebook or my$pace.
Got my new speakers today and when i listen to them at a good volume they are slightly arousing. I dont know if its just the vibration from the sub thats dooing it or im an up and coming audiophile.
UVU finals tomorrow, then UCAS finals a week from tomorrow... two weeks of finals.. man, thats brutal.
So my nickname - Molly, when we were deciding nicknames, we were listening to the song Molly by the band MSI.
Lets see, i really want to go paintballing but its like cold.
I've been too lazy to get my license so my permit expired so i have to get that again and then get my license. hoping to do that before snow goes down.. that would SUCK because out here drivers ED is a lot of highway driving.
In other news within the last 3 weeks ive found my balls and have been asking people out who i never would have just a month ago.. i figure that my walls are high enough to protect me from rejection and you never know, i might get lucky (not first date lucky) but relationship lucky.
Being an atheist democrat in the middle of Utah Valley, Utah (the most republican county in the country) and about 90% mormon here... doesnt make it likely, but hey, never know.
I think my maturation over the last year has helped a lot as well... im not an abusive asshole anymore.... now im smartly cynical and sarcastic. addiding intelect to my bashes of the other side of the table (the wrong side incase you dont know which im talking about(AKA:republican)).
Well thats it for me today
Will post those pix sometime this week... OH SHIT just remembered i have a 5 page research paper due wednesday that i havnt started. its alright though.... monday for the outline and half of RD1. Tuesday for RD2 and citations. Wednesday morning for peer check (i need to do this because my grammar is shit (as you can tell by reading this stuff)
Alright ppl, ima go (PS: Lacie, use your gift to the max of its potentials!!!!!!!)
Schools been a BITCH. Jesus christ i hate the way schools try to teach to the masses by teaching one way. Seriously the entire education system is taylored to a specific type of person, if you arent in the mold, "fuck you". Xmas break is in 3 week though so thats awesome.
New news? Turned 17 on Nov. 5, got $400 cash and a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 computer speaker setup to replace my 5 year old pair of speakers that came with my old 400$ HP.
YES i know the dollar sign comes first, but i forget. deal.
So economys doing good, yea? looks like obamas extremely early announcment of his financial team, and now his foreign afairs team seemed to calm people down (finally someone living in that big white house over there is fixing shit instead of choking on a pretzel, or claiming WMDs)
Recent rant of mine to a friend:
Rachel:

que dijo el cero al ocho? chido cinturón
Zach:

speaking in other languages to me
Rachel:
I forgot you don't like mexicans
sorry
Zach:
you KNOW i cannot understand
its not funny
its not cute
its not interesting
its just STUPID
so stop
please.
***Seriously!! this is what happens when people are homeschooled... this girl is great and nice, but she cannot grasp the intricacies of social conversation, unfortunatly, that is something that can be gained only with experience. another unfortunate thing is that she is aabout 1000x smarter than me.
Anyways, damn! dating is expensive, starting to get out a live a little and my wallet is feeling the burn - atleast one of us is starting to slim down. --- Side note here, girls who go on dates with guys to get free nice food or a free movie FUCK YOU (whores)---
Great news! i finally put "give the snake water" as an alarm on my iPhone so it doesnt half way die of dehydration every other week anymore (well thats the plan atleast). This is an additional alarm, along with "clean face" "shower" and "take meds" without these alarms im not sure id be alive.
my hair is starting to grow over my ears again... oh did i mention i got a haircut? way short for my holloween costume (mormon missionary). I currently have 300$ cash and 100$ check in a paintball tube... i should deposit that one of these days.
this morning i decided to eat a banana instead of a toaster strudle thingy! yay. me and my friends are saying that i turned over several new leafs durring the thanksgiving break... unfortunatly about half of those leaves were already on the right side.
I have had some very interesting - extremely perverse (codeword for awesome) moments recently, ive laughed, ive choked on water, milk, and soda. Ive been pinned to a blackboard with feet, while having my hoodie strings tied up around my neck, ive thrown potato skins at my best friend - then funions - then more bacon chedder potato skins. Ive been threatedned to fight by a person the equivilant of a sponge (although she is skinnyer than a sponge). new nickname: Molly - ill explain it in another post. I wore loafers instead of my cons for one day. i started carrying around change in my pockets - never know when you'll need it. i gave Lacie 20$ for her birthday, she didnt have any pockets so it went in her bra. it was worth giving the 20$ just to have an excuse to watch that... (lacie if your reading this, ill say your lines for you "oh my" "wow") by the end of this week ill have seen twilight 2 times (never read the books) unfortuantly, its what all girls my age what to do - see that movie. i should just ask every girl i like out on a mega date so i dont have to live through that stuff... AGAIN.
wow. i could keep going but i think that be enough for now. peace out dawgs. ooh yea, and i learned 2 alternate uses for a super sharpie.
Sorry I havnt posted in the last week or two... Been really busy.
Good news is my A5 sold, and my new paintball gun should arrive tomorrow.
I've decided to extend the "Free Stuff" category into a weekly update that will contain cool, free, sites that I found that week.
So, without further ado, its my pleasure to introduce....
Cool Shit
Well its time for what looks to be turning into a weekly blog.
I've made an (in my opinion) terrifying discovery.... i LOVE Marylin Manson music... i know... i dont know what to make of it either. I blame the new Max Payne trailer for turning me onto the stuff with the song "If i was your vampire"
The movie looks like it will be awesome
Another tidbit, the Watchmen movie wont be coming out anytime soon because its tied up in court for copy right infringement.
I'm selling my awesome woodsball gun and getting a speedball gun, so if your interested, let me know... the best info on it can be found here
other than that, its been a pretty normal week, college classes started on Wednesday, so ive been getting a bitter taste of that. it will definitely take some getting used to.
talk to yall (the like 3 of you) next week... or if something happens before that.
I've updated the video's section with some new stuff, also, this really REALLY cool thing called photosynth made by microsoft came out earlier this week, and OMG. its pretty much the coolest photo organization system in existance. What it does is take all of your photos from one area and stitch them together using the proper scaling and spacial positioning to create a 3D image.
My first attempt was of my Kotobukiya MC, and it turned out really... REALLY bad.
This is my second... its my living room, and i didnt take enough photos for it to be complete... so your stuck with its lack of "synthyness"
I was going to try to do a bunch of other really cool "synths" but I brought my camera to school today and left it there, so I'm cameraless for the weekend. Oh and the USB port in the camera stopped functioning, so I would have to move the flash drive to another divice to get the pictures over.
In other news, I'm pretty sure im having the "iPhone Problem" and the new patch fixed absolutely nothing. I'm getting more "Call Failed"'s than ever.
We ran out of bottled water about a week ago, so I've reverted to my old days of chemical water (ie soda) im not too happy about it, but im also too lazy to get the pitcher out of the fridge.
I fed my snake today.... i should make a video of it next time... its pretty cool (oh, did i mention i have a pet python?)
I've come up with an awesome new idea for an iPhone app, there is a guy at my school who created the game Lumen for the iPhone and on Monday I'm going to approach him about some sort of partnership.
Today I was refered to as a "doublt stuffed oreo" several times due to the fact that I wore all white, black shows, and my dark hair. On the only day I've worn all white in the last year, we start using some stuff called blue dyhydrolycosol or something in biology to stain cells for viewing under a microscope.
Yesterday I learned that those WWJD braclet type things that everyone is wearing are actually REALLY bad for you. They have a tendincy to ride up your arm, and when they are there, they constrict (ever so slightly) vital muscles for hand movement and control. Later in life, if you have to do something intensive with your hands or arms, those muscles will be prone to tearing. Not good.
So for all you Jesus lovers out there, your faith is destroying you... Seriously!
As for new videos, there are two new commercials running right now, one is the best one, EVER. The other just has cool music... here they are in that order:
Getting back to school was awesome, it was really nice to be able to reconnect with people who I had been out of contact with...
Take Lacie Black [panties] for example, with one action she said "hey zach! hows your summer been? awesome to see you again!!"
It was fun, quick, and ended in me headbutting her to get her unlatched.
Other than fun and numerous interactions similar to Lacie's hello, I spent the better part of the day trying to get people to taste my hot sauce (not that you perverts!)
These pictures are arranged day to day (not picture to picture) if you see something you want a better view of, you can click it and it will bring you to a page for that photo.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
In the end it was really fun, we ended up coming home early because we did everything there was to do.
Sorry I havent been posting anything recently, as the summer comes to a close, school is getting prepped to start up again.
I've had some people asking me about BattleField Utah, and to clarify for everyone, I did not end up going. A number of factors came together to stop me from getting to the event. The issues could have been avoided by people using their brains and being upfront with important information. But how often does that happen? I ended up confronting one of the scatterbrains who left out some vital info about the event, and, like expected, he told me that it was my fault, but if I did have any more complaining to do, to talk to someone else about it.
Really not unexpected.
I did go wednesday for an unplanned pickup game at the provo field, it was fun, but REALLY hot, which made it exausting. I also got one of those hits that you show off to your friends, or not and wait for them to notice it.
Other than that, I've started reconnecting with friends from school who I've been out of touch with, and I honestly cannot believe how I spent the summer without these people. That seems to be a tendency on my side to not miss people for the longest time, then when I see them again, start missing them more than before.
Now that thats out of the way... iPhone Review!
I got an iPhone 3G 8gb about a week or so ago, and I know now that I can never live without it. When people refer to being "connected" they mean the web, email, IM, instant and direct communication and information viewing. Well, until the iPhone, being connected required you to be sitting down at a computer. No longer! I get a LOT of emails, every 15min (or as often as I manually refresh) I get my emails delivered to me.
I could go into so much more detail, but I wont, listen to the commercials, twice the speed, half the price.
Oh yea, on the down side, I often find the GPS locator feature is off by anywhere to 10-500 feet.
But thats a small nitpick in my opinion.
Recently I've been watching a lot of animated comics from Scott Bateman. What makes his comics so unique is that he uses actual audio from interviews/movies and shows them his way. His comics are often political, but he has done some other things, including using an audio clip from the new batman movie.
Tip for watching: Don't be afraid to pause and read the text that comes up, sometimes it goes by too fast to read. Its always worth it!
This guy is awesome and does new stuff all the time.
Check out all his animated comics here.
He also has an RSS feed you can subscribe to, but I haven't gotten it to work.
And on a totally random note, did you know you could get F.E.A.R. multipayer for FREE? I didnt till a few days ago... for me the game is a little too fast... too much dieing. I prefer game where death isn't determined by who can click a millisecond faster than the other person. Point is... its free.
Go here to check it out.
Note: I've seen some bloggers call something free, then link you to a page where you have to pay. I would never do this. The website isnt a third party blah blah blah "take this survey, give us your credit card numbers (but we wont charge you... promise!)" site.
You do have to give out more information that most people (including me) would like to, but you can BS most of it... and they do have you take a survey (but its about their game and how you found the free MP.)
The DL takes a while, but its clean, run directly through the game dev.
So, I've been following AoTS host Olivia Munn's video blog of ComiCon 08', while watching #6 I accidentally paused... and came up with this!
