This is why I hate filming

So,

My re-sit work for uni is meant to be handed in on the 17th of August I think it is...
and currently I have nobody to fill the roll of the Young Smoking Women... ¬_¬
fs, I know a few lasses who smoke...but they're all busy either working or on holiday, really really annoying...
changing the storyboard/script of the advert would totally change the feeling I am going for...
really need that main lead actor, I've already got a guy who's gonna help me out with the 2nd Character in the storyboard (not giving anything away yet)

but its just finding that MAIN F**KING CHARACTER!!!!
really rage worthy

anyway, gonna fine-tune the script/storyboard whilst watching Pans Labyrinth
nighty night bloggers

So......

So today, wasnt a very productive day

I got up at around 11:25... which wasnt what I was planning on doing
I said the night before I was going to get up early and sort myself out then go into town for a bit, never happened - I set my alarm for 9:25...snooze... badtimes :(

so after getting up I did the usual stuff, sorted myself out, had breakfast and such, then read the final pages of Neil Strauss' - The Game
and I must say...Fantastic book!
It is such an eye opener, not just for me but for many many people
I was speaking to my friend Josh about it the other day and its just amazing how a book can make 2people (who are kind of in the same situation) connect, I have to say probably the most I've spoken to him...like ever

Anyway, the main reason I got this book was because, I am totally useless when it comes to women, I mean, seriously I can talk to lasses dont get me wrong, but I dont necessarily know what to say most of the time, to either get the number-close or the kiss-close...so I thought that maybe its time for a change, its time to socially re-invent myself, and after reading this book, I found out it might be easier than I imagined...
I've found out that there are certain things to say and do, that will make you irresistable to the opposite sex, no matter how you look or how you dress
and its essential to bring your better qualities to the fore-front

I know its gonna take a while for me to crack my shy-ness when around strangers but, all in all it should be a really fun journey and a really good, life changing experience...

I have just started reading Neil Strauss' - The Rules of the Game
I'm on the first introductory pages and its not like most of the books I've read before - actually scrap that, its nothing like I've read before.

The first page has the Title: Read Me, in big Capitalised text...so instantly, you think, well its a book...I'll read it, do what it says, then as you read on, it totally throws you off saying your weak for allowing yourself to be ordered around like that...blah blah blah, at the end though Neil makes up for it by saying Bullying is the best way to get someones attention.
I think I am going to really enjoy this book - I will be reading it in conjunction with another book by Leil Lowndes - "How to Talk to Anyone" which should help me a lot.

Another thing I need to do is order some books I heard about in a Seminar lead my Neil Strauss, he talks about a book that teaches you to spot when people are lying to you..I am also wanting to take up a part-time/night course in Psychology - sorta give me that education boost :D


Music

hmm, well I havnt really been listening to anything differant really, I've come across a few songs/bands/artists since my last blog that I think, like...wow seriously they're awesome to name a couple there is

Jonny Craig <- such an amazing solo artist (even better in a band) cant wait for his solo album to be released

Pierce the Veil <- that is my Ringtone/Message Tone =] Love that song soooo much Emarosa <- kinda old news to me now but thought you guys should listen to this song...Jonny Craig singing...his voice is AWESOME

Ethan Gibson <- covering the Emarosa song I posted above - really good acoustic cover, totally changed it and it sounds so cool

We The Kings <- been listening to this song quiet a bit over the past week, mainly in the shower on a morning - really wakes me up, such a cool catchy song

Bloc Party <- never really been into Bloc Party, but I heard this song on the NME music channel the other day, and it really stuck in my head
Spank Rock <- Spank Rock...legend all I have to say, listening to him for a while now, this video is awesome, they got models in, nothing was scripted, they just started having an orgy prettymuch, Amanda Blank, hot and cool!

Movies

I'm still waiting for my Masters of Horror Vol. 2 Box-set to come through the post, so I've not really watched anything new (that I havn't already talked about before - either in real life or on the internet)
but I did watch Chakushin ari (One Missed Call) lastnight for the 2nd time ever (I saw it first a number of years ago before the Hollywood remake came out) and I must say, still as creepy as ever and done by Takashi Miike, so insta-win right there

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I have probably talked to people about this film before (in person) and about how funny it is, I found the DVD of it lastnight in my room and watched it with my Parents, now this film...goes down in history as a funny film, the fact the guy bares his penis for a good 20/30 seconds throughout the film, and hugs 2, stunning Hollywood hotties whilst bareing it all! pure genius...plus Russell Brand, gotta love that guy, he just oozes cool-ness, if I stood close to him, I would most definately feel a little bit cooler than I do already =]

One of the funniest scenes in this film is the Yoga scene
"WHATS UP!"
"MY LEGS THATS WHAT!"
"IM DOIN A HEADSTAND MOTHERFUCKA!!!"
I laugh everytime I hear or see that scene.

other than that not really been watching many movies, although I did get Season 1 & 2 of the Mighty Boosh through the post the other day (already had Season 3)
been watching those most nights...
trying not to laugh loud at 2/3oclock in the morning is hard-work when you're watching the Boosh, trust me :P

Games

Mostly this week I've been playing Skate 2 - tbh, not much differant from Skate 1 at all...even a similar "city" - no reason to bring out a totally new game imo, could have just released an addon or something, pointless sequal...

I downloaded a number of games from the Xbox Marketplace (Doom, N+, Monkey Island & Castle Crashers)

gotta say Doom...still an amazing game, the whole game, legendary...

N+ makes me rage...total rage not just minor rage, lastnight I almost threw my controller at the wall I was that angry, all because I cant get past 1 f**king level!

Monkey Island, not a bad word to say about that game, always legendary!

Castle Crashers, possibly the funnest game I've played that looks like it should be for Kids only, but its not! its amazing!


Health

As most of you know, I gotto the gym quiet a bit, and have been trying to shift a bit of weight I'm still, shamefully carrying, after looking over my Diet, I have decided that I need to change it, so!

I have decided to carry around a water bottle with me, where-ever I go (similar to when I was on the Lipotrim Diet)
Stop snacking on a night (unless its a healthy option...like a rhye cracker or something)
Count my calorie intake
and Lower my portion size

I mean, I wasnt really having trouble before but, I want to see a change in my body faster and the only way to do that is to change the things that I know are conflicting with it (e.g. my diet) as I'm going to the gym, at the least 4times a week at the moment)

Nothing else to blog about really
Gonna sort out my iPod and get to bed and have an early night for ONCE!!!

I've been using her corded ones for about 2weeks now and I think she was getting a little annoyed finding them in my room, so she said I can use the Cordless ones...not sure if its a permanent use thing, but I'm happy :D

gonna get my arse to bed now anyway
need to be up and at the gym early, cause later on im going to see some mates! :D
first time in ages

Talk soon Bloggers!

This Book...

Epic

all I can say, I've got a feeling I'll be carrying this and a couple of others around with me for a while (time to get a nice sachel I think)

The Game by Neil Strauss

and I also got How to Talk to Anyone - Leil Lowndes

:E

NEED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN

the title says it all ready

I need something big...and life changing to happen
I dont know what
but just something that, I feel great about
and I mean, REALLY feel great about

At the moment I just seem to be drifting along, playing xbox, doing work, going to the gym, nothing special happening, not seeing many of my friends...badtimes

anyway
im gonna go read a book
(Martina Coles - The Take)

peace bloggers

oh my god

It feels like its ages since I last blogged...
actually... it was :$ sowwy :'(

I havn't really been doing much since my last blog, ive changed my diet, refined my gym routine and started playing my consoles a bit more :D
and also came up with some nifty mug ideas (Custom L4D Mugs...if you wanna see leave a comment and I'll make a new post showing them off)

Now, lets talk games!
and specifically one game, Wanted: Weapon of Fate

so, I started playing this game a while ago and did it on Easy (as you do)...and it got really really boring after completing it...
anyway, I started playing it again yesterday after deciding to hardcore achievement whore the other week (xbox 360), after I'd say about 6hours play I completed the game on both Medium (Assassin) and Hard (Killer) aswell as getting the achievements for them, I got a number of other achievements along the way, apart from...2!

THE DREADED NUMBER FOR ANY ACHIEVEMENT WHORE!!!!

so, after raging over not being able to get the final TWO achievements, I turned off the console and played a "quick" game of L4D ... which turned into 4/5hours gameplay :$
(damn you Jonny and Laura!!!)
ANYWAY

I turned the game on again today determined to get those last achievements...

took me about an hour to get one
YAY! ONLY ONE LEFT

final achievement (this achievement was to collect all the hidden collectables)
I watched some youtube videos...really eager to get the damn achievement!
followed them to a T!
still havnt got it, because the game is glitchy and some of the collectables dont show up!
MAN RAGING HARD

but overall a good game, inserting a certain code in the menu enables you to play a Janice from the film, was LoL playing the whole game through as a whale!
oh
anyway, gonna get started on a new game now

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood!!!!

I havn't played the first Call of Juarez but from what I've heard its an awesome game, anything with Cowboys...awesome, you know why...
cause they got them cool arse hats!
hurah!

started this game lastnight actually, really good game, had a showdown with the sheriff, he was all like
"Whats going on here!"
I was like...
"OUTSIDE BITCH!"
bust a cap in his dome! 1DEAG!

!!!!MOVIE TIME!!!!

As most of you know, I'm a big fan of movies...if you didnt know that, then.. wtf... pretty sure you should!
so, I recently watched the Watchmen movie...
LOVED IT
for someone, to successfully make the transition (and yes I said successfully)
from graphic novel... to movie, just outstanding!
I know that there have been other movies that started off as comics/graphic novels, but there has been none that have really been this good before...

I know it isnt hard (from prior experiance) that setting up shots and angles from a previously created storyboard isnt hard, but this film really SHOWS you how its done!
FILM NOIR STYLE BITCH

Before watching this movie I'd been told by a few friends that it was really brutal, showing fingers getting broken, arms popping out, total bloodbath style, but I thought they were just over-exadurating...
not even, 3minutes into the movie, I was shocked... TOTAL MASSACRE! IT WAS AWESOME
a fight in The Comedians apartment, well I say fight, was a total crazed onslaught of pure power.
Brick walls got destroyed, tables, chairs, worktops (the granite kind) sinks...and reinforced windows! CRAZY MAN
still...
nothing beats good ol' Rorschach and his crazy crazy ways, from the Graphic Novel perspective you dont really connect well with Rorschach at all...
but in the Movie, you feel like you want him in your life, however crazed he is...just amazing, Jackie Earle Haley - great job!

...

Now moving onto some movies that not a lot of people are familiar with =D

Old Boy

Let me just start by saying, if you dont have a copy of old boy, fu!
everyone needs a copy of Oldboy, old, young, fat, skinny, dumb or smart! EVERYONE!

The Movie starts off with a man, holding another man over the edge of a building by his tie...now thats cool straight away! Life and Death... DEPENDING ON THE TIE!!! I jizzed a little... anyway

It then flashes back to an Overweight Oh Dae-su in a Police Station, after having a few to many Bevvies he got pulled in and was awaiting bail, this part...really made me giggle some of the things he did and said, amazing
after his mate comes and bails him out (which is also a bit funny as when Oh Dae-su leaves he says, "I will see you soon" LOL) he makes a phonecall to his daughter and wishes her happy birthday and tells her he will be home soon, he puts his mate on to wish he happy birthday blah blah blah, Oh Dae-su's wife wants to speak to him, his mate turns around to hand him the phone...Oh Dae-su is gone!
THE FUN STARTS!
Im not gonna say what happens next cause it will ruin all the story...well...not all but some of it so...BUY IT RENT IT...WHATEVER JUST WATCH OLDBOY!


Visitor Q

Now this film...hmmm.. hard to categorize...
I'd put it in the f**ked up section, seriously... never before have I seen a movie... that involves, rape, murder, necrophilia, domestic violence, incest and lactation....
Yes... Lactation
Milk......of the tit....
Lactation

Watch this film, you need to
I told my friend Josh to try and get a hold of this film and he couldnt find it anywhere, so...being the kinda guy I am, I offered to do him a copy and send him it, because he needs to see this film!
totally messed up film man

From looking at the cover you expect it to be like some second rate Japanese Erotic film...its nothing of the sort!

I'll give you the begining of the film...
Starts of with the Father of the family, paying HIS daughter (a prostitute), for sex, whilst it is being filmed...
now...if that doesnt scream WTF then I dont know what does...
and the fact that after hes done, the Daughter laughs at him and calls him "The Early Bird" because he came too quick, now that must suck!

Anyway, film is by Takashi Miike - the legend who bright you the likes of Gozu, Ichi the Killer and Dead or Alive (all awesome films)

definatly worth a purchase!


Music

Big Big Big Big Music fan!
any music is worth a lisen (in my opinion)
now I dont have to like that music, but I feel that people should listen to multiple genres and not limit themselves to just one set group.

I have recently come across a band that is new to me, a youtube link was posted by a friend of mine and, I was impressed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZo4bOZf3B4
The Agonist - Business Suits and Combat Boots

I am liking it!
hot leading lass
cool guitar riffs
and semi-melodic :D

I liked it so much, I got their album off of iTunes - result

another song/s I have been listening to a hell of a lot is the facemelting riffs/vocals of a band called Cancer Bats
now, most of you will see that name and think...."wtf...cancer bats... pretty sadistic... cancer... and bats!"
but they are really cool, bringing the old school metal feel back to the scene with tracks like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxMV-jJEShA
Lucifers Rocking Chair

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2j-xR_wSAQ
Hail Destroyer (which has screaming...love it)

------

Anyway guys and girls thats all I can be arsed with writing for this blog entry at the moment ... my fingers are tired

I'll be sure to post some more soon enough :D
but for now, time to watch some 4PP!
