New Third Eye Blind album comes out next Tuesday, but it was leaked online yesterday. So the band put all the tracks on their Myspace. Go listen!

Rock Band at a bar is ridiculous.

If we had proper equipment, it'd be better, but it's still fun.

Got around it.

YouTube Doubler: SSP April 09 Recap

Go watch it on there. Just make sure both videos start at the same time.

Getting around it this way makes me think about how retarded these laws are. Why is it illegal for me to use a song I bought, piece it together and put it online. Is it because it could be used to advertise something? If these were family videos, would it be a non-issue? Who is to say why I do this or what I do it for.

I just find it funny that I actually used a legal copy(I paid for and everything) of the audio in the original video, and now they ding me for it. And then, to work around it, I use a 'legal' video they're hosting to dub in the audio that's 'illegal' in my video. Yay.

Here it is, on Dailymoton. No crazy synching needed.

So, I understand the reasoning behind copyright law, but the way that they have it implimented for online video is so fucking retarded. I make video recaps of SSP, a local wrestling-based theater group. Clipping together the video from the last show and setting it to a song. I want to use "I Will Survive" for the video, but upon uploading to YouTube, they disable the audio because it doesn't have a legal notice saying it's ok to use the music. But they don't tell me how I can go about getting in contact with anyone to fix the issue. So...if I happened to make a video of me talking, but at the time I had a copy of that song playing in the background(that I own), they could take the video down until I somehow get them a legal document saying I have the right to use it? It just seems so backwards.

Anyone know a way around this? Is it just shit we'll have to deal with until they realize it's retarded? I understand policing advertisement agencies so they don't steal music, but does it really hurt anyone if some little video editor in Seattle uses music that's 30 years old to make a video for a fake-wrestling show that doesn't operate to make money?

Gonna go try Dailymotion...

So...I went to the doctor last week for a check up and they took some blood for tests and whatnot. Haven't been to the doctor in a while mostly because I was afraid something was wrong with me(funny, eh?). Also, just was lazy and didn't want to deal with getting all the paperwork for getting a decent PCP(my last primary MD I just chose from the book was an old asian guy. Yeah, that worked well). Their sign said they'd mail results within two weeks.

Got a letter in the mail today from them with the results. I'm...

Healthy?

No diabetes, thyroid disease, anemia, good kidneys/liver. Just have low HDL, a little high of blood pressure(I DID just get off of work, which can be rather stressful, though...) and should exercise more(duh), but...what?

I'm kinda amazed.

Then again, I'm not sure if they have anything else left in there. But...very happy, still. :)

Wow.

That's awesome. SSP is on FOX NEWS. First the frontpage of the Times, then the Wall Street Journal(today), now FOX NEWS?

I think I ruined some girls weekend.

She was buying a box of condoms, some lube, a Sally Hansen wax hair removal kit and a pack of 'insulin' syringes. Her check didn't go through because she's been having problems with someone using her identity. And, no, she wasn't old, ugly and didn't look stupid. So I felt a little bad. But not really.

When the machine says it won't take your check and gives you a number to call, don't near-demand to use our pharmacy phones to tie up our lines for 20 minutes while you check to see what the hell is up with your checking account this time. Especially when you know you've had problems with your identity. People.

Well, that was fun... [26 Dec 2008|12:23am]
Was just about to go to sleep when the fire alarm in my building went off. Took me a minute or so to figure out that it wasn't my own alarm going insane, but the alarm for the whole complex was ringing. Grabbed my wallet, DS, safety deposit box, phone, tracked down my cat & threw him in his cat carrier and ran downstairs. Sat outside in the cold, post-snow, weather and waited to be let back inside. No fire(or at least none that wasn't quicky squashed), so got let back in after about 10 minutes. Yay.

Now to try to go to sleep...

Merry Christmas.

SSP April '08 Recap [06 May 2008|02:50am]
I cut this together in 2 hours last night for Wednesday's show. Recap of what happened at April's show.




Keep in mind, I have no real editing experience other than dicking around in Premiere for a few days before this. Think I did pretty decent, IMO.

Also, youtube compression makes the video a lot darker. Oh well.

Seattle Semi-Pro Wrestling [10 Apr 2008|10:05pm]
You should all watch this. It picks up a lot more about a third of the way into it.




One of the funniest damned things I've seen live. Was mostly funny because it was so unexpected when it happened and was about 10x better live. But I cut this video together myself, first video I've edited ever(pretty simple), so I wanted to show it off.

They do mostly do regular wrestling, but this was Simba's final night, so he wanted to do something that everyone there would remember. That was part of it. Later on in the night, he jumped off the roof of the place and took out a few guys as well. Crazy stuff.
