I watched The Look Around You series before but I completely just lost it the other night when I saw Ensimul Biratilan. I could not stop laughing!
Its one of those really really funny things or not funny at all to people kinda deals.

Ok, so I was on you tube looking up movie clips from Gremlins 2 because today, due to work related stuff, I unknowingly paid a visit to the office building that was used in the movie. Well anyway You Tube has that uncanny ablity to direct you to some some really weird stuff and I stumbled upon this gem.

The guy's name is James Kuhn and he takes face paint to a whole other level. You have to check out his you tube channel. He has tons of videos.

I never thought I would see the day where someone would paint Bea Arthur on their neck!

You clicked this journal thinking I had high hopes for something? Well don't get your hopes up. ;)
I dunno, I was farting around with piano stuff on the computer today. Decided to upload this. Figured it sounded kinda neat.
Its the intro to High Hopes by Pink Floyd

Its the weirdest thing. My mind must go into like overdrive when I sleep. I get some crazy vivid dreams and most of the time they are funny as hell. Like people say jokes and things I never heard before which are actually funny. My head is coming up with this stuff on the fly. It really boggles my mind.
Last nights dream was quite funny. It was really cool. I was a cat, like actual Coopertom and I was on a mission to sneak into a Chinese restaurant to rescue the fish from the aquarium. The problem is the restaurant had this weird theme. The theme was explosions. Yeah I don't know how but it was. So basically people were opening the menu, selecting what they want and soon as they close the menu, the menu blows up. So people were getting blown out their seats left and right, while I was trying to get closer to the fish tank. Eventually I get the fish and start making my way back to the front door. I bump into an old man who is waiting for a table that is looking at all the explosions. He then says to me "I'm 90 years old! If I wanted to kill myself, I'd have a hooker come sit in my lap!" Right there I started losing it. I was actually laughing in my sleep and I woke myself up.
The mind works in mysterious ways.

I used the pop filter on my condenser mic for the first time tonight and I can't believe the difference. It really does work. Everything sounds so nice through it. I dunno what it is, maybe I'm just weird but love just saying random crap into the microphone while I hear my own voice. You can really control your voice that way. I love doing stupid crap like weird movie trailer voices and radio announcers. When I was a kid that was kind of my dream job to do voice overs. Tonight I was doing all sorts of crazy movie trailers and radio promos on tiny chat. It was fun times. Might do it again another night.

Valentine's day is like a bee hive. You can get sweet sweet honey from the hive or you can be attacked by a mob of fucking bees which just adds pain to your lonely ass life. The bees are the people that go out of their way to shove it in your face that they are in a loving relationship with someone and they just keep stinging you. Coworkers getting flowers and shit delivered to their desks and making me come over and act like I'm all impressed. Yeah, I get it, someone likes you, now go back to fucking work. Or telling me the plans they have tonight at the most fanciest fucking ripoff restaurant in the city. Then the topper is they ask me what my plans are. Well if in case you haven't noticed, I never talk on the phone to anyone, I have no pictures of anyone on my desk and there is no mention of a girlfriend. They could have at least asked if I had someone first. I mean what the fuck am I supposed to tell them. That I'm going home to sit in my parents basement and drink Jägermeister?
The bees were everywhere today. I could not get away from them. With their balloons, their flowers and their chocolates. I can understand being loved but why must they proclaim it to other people? What about the people not in love? There is no consideration. But hey, there always the fail safe right? That statement "oh there is somebody out there for you". Well maybe there isn't? There is just as much of a chance that there is no one for me as there is someone for me. I did, I lived by that statement for a very long time. I kept my hopes up and just accepted that someday the right one will come along but my patience has worn very thin which is leading me to believe that this is only true for some. As stated before I have given up all hope in finding someone in the fandom but I think this is starting to spill over into everyone as a whole. There is just is no one for me. I don't know if its me, I'm just too picky or what but I really feel like theres nobody out there. I am not just going to grab anyone I see, get hitched and pretend to play house with someone that I will eventully grow to hate in a few years just because everyone else is doing it. Its gotta be me cause everyone I date eventually somthing throws up a red flag for me that tells me to stop what I am doing and just run. Maybe I looking to far ahead into the realtionship or something I dont know.
It just that none of this fucking makes any sense. How can I be such a likable person but be the loneliest bastard out there? Is it me? Am I just a friend to eveyone and no one looks any deeper than that? This just doesnt go for the fandom this is for like everything, my whole life I have been like this. People like omg your so awesome and thats it. It just stops there. Nobody is like hmm maybe I could date this person? I mean come on, I hate tooting my own horn but Im a nice guy, I pay for fucking everything. I got sweet ass cars a kick ass job in new york city tons of cool shit, come what the fuck? No, you know what I get? I get oh hey your a funny nice guy. End of story. Hell I ride around in the DeLorean which is a goddamn chick magnet, I might get some chit chat from the ladies and that it. Is it my face? My hair? What the fuck is it? And its not like I'm go around flashing all this crazy shit to everyone and being a huge douchebag. I am very modest about it. Right now I kinda am cause Im getting progressively more drunk as I type but I mean come on! Theres fucking dirtbags walking around whit lovely ladies. Even that too. I am not like a wolf in sheeps clothing out to get anyone. Like hooking up is all that is on my mind all the time. I want someone that will be my best buddy too. I thnk that si the problem. Ladies want to be treated like princesses on a peadastal. They want you riase them up. I dont want that. I want someone thats with me on level with everything. Like we are sticking thogether through life as it is. that is it. We dont try to out do who ardore eachother more. You know. Friends that stick together. Ahh jeeze you know look Im drunk now and I know I have close frinds that are probably going to read this that are married, going to be marired or in relationshipts. Im sorry dont take this stuff to literally. None of this is being aimed toward you or about you or anything. You are all cool don't worry your cool in my book. Its about just peole in general, not you.
I mean yeah actually everybody that reads this don't get pissed at me or anything. Im just drunk and lonely on Valentines day.

I hope you get avian flu. Happy Valentines Day! :(

I have been hearing a lot of discussion about giants and super bowls. I know giants are real but I never knew of the existence of a super bowl. I guess there needs to be such a thing as a super bowl because giants are really, really big and they need a bowl that is super. Regular bowls just don't work with giants. It must be a never ending struggle during breakfast time with giants and regular bowls. It would be like trying to eat Cookie Crisp out of a thimble. Super bowls must make giants very happy because it allows them to eat Cookie Crisp.

Hey hey hey hey! Check it out! New video!

What do you get when you get Scurrow and Coopertom in front of a haphazardly set up green screen? Well watch and find out!

Yeah I been kicking around the idea of going to FWA. Nothing is set in stone just yet. Just seeing if I could land a spot somewhere in someones room. From there I'll confirm with my ride and I should be all set pending my work gives me those days off. This really isn't in my con lineup for this year but if things fall in place and I can do it with out flying there like I did last time you might see me there.

I would prefer to stay in someones room that I know or kinda know. Someone I at least talked to before. The last thing I want, is end up in some creepers room with all freaky kinds of shit going on. I know thats a very small percent of rooms really but with my luck I could see that happening.

A bed would be nice but worst comes to worst if you can toss me blanket and a pillow, I'll be fine on the floor.

Drivable cons I tend to bring a bit more stuff with me opposed to cons I need to fly to. I'll be bringing my Coopertom, Fender and Rock-It fursuits with me. My stuff consists of an action packer, large duffel bag, small duffel bag, backpack, computer bag, a couple of garbage bags with clothes and a blower to dry fursuit heads. I keep my stuff piled in the corner or under a desk usually. Just a heads up if you think the room is already going to be pressed for space.

Just throwing that out there. So if you have space let me know and I'll see what happens! Thanks!

Now I don't wanna sound like a dick about this but you all know SOPA is a serious, serious problem. This will affect us all and we all need to action against it. Its great that everyone is letting the world know that they are against SOPA but we also need the right people to know that too. It's easy to post up a stop SOPA icon on your page or twitter but please, please, please don't stop there! It's very important to ask your state representative not to support SOPA. Just take a few minutes of your time to write or call your representative.

If you wondering who your representative is, it's easy! Just go to https://www.whoismyrepresentative.com

Its amazing how views change as you get older. When I was a kid, Christmas could not get here fast enough. Now that I'm older, I'm like "oh look its Christmas." Now I'm not saying I hate Christmas. Christmas is awesome, I just wish I still had that excitement and anticipation that I once had. It might be kind of hard for me now because I have done a complete 180 on receiving gifts.

As a child I used to go ape shit on getting presents. I will admit, I was a spoiled brat growing up. I know family and friends meant well getting me things when I was a kid. They we just trying to show they loved and cared for me. But I watch the VHS tapes of me in the 80s and it kinda makes me sick watching them. The sheer volume of presents was staggering! There is video of me actually getting tired of opening presents. Of course I'm happier than shit in the video but when I watch it I don't show any appreciation for the gifts. I don't know if this is just a little kid thing, maybe I didn't understand how to show it at the time. I'm not upset by what everyone did for me growing up, I had an amazing childhood and I'm deeply grateful, but I feel kinda guilty I guess.

I wish I could go back and say thank you to everyone back then. Show them more appreciation for thinking of me and caring for me. What makes me feel the most guilty of all, are the family members who passed on, giving me no chance to say thank you. Today I'm deeply grateful and appreciative of gifts that I receive. I also do not ask for or anticipate any gifts. When someone asks what I want for Christmas I feel very guilty telling them something. Its like commanding someone to spend their hard earned money on you. A simple gift like cookies or chocolates is fine or just even ones company is a perfect gift for me. It makes me feel guilty when people buy me things even though it was thoughtful. Ironically I enjoy giving gifts and some of those people might be in the same boat as me ha ha.

I think its this lack of anticipation and desire of gifts that has changed my view of Christmas and what causes it to sneak up so fast. It is no longer a day where I see how many presents I get. It's a day to relax and enjoy time with my family. I just wish I could have knocked some of that sense into my younger self.

I dunno, I was board and I finally got my new gas cap.

Some just like to browse, some for the fursuits, some for the social or party aspect of it and others for something else I will not mention here. There is something for everyone in this fandom. I really love it and I have made some really amazing close friends that I would call friends, even if it wasn't for the furry stuff. They are just awesome, amazing people.

Now if I made awesome friendships in the fandom, surely I could have an awesome relationship with someone in the fandom. To me, this seems a lot harder than it looks. Being a straight man, I would love nothing more than to share this obscure furry hobby with a significant other of the opposite sex. Where else to look but within the fandom. This would be the likely place to start. No need to explain it, no awkward looks and no convincing. I did manage to find what I was looking for. I was in a very loving relationship with memorable fun times which I chose to end for personal reasons.

I have found dating within the fandom to be very different then dating someone outside the fandom. Its hard to explain. It would be like if you went to a family reunion to find a date. The fandom is very close knit. When dating within the fandom, it pulls you more in and you get more involved with the fandom. You get deeply involved in a lot of peoples lives because of the closeness. Now I'm not saying I don't want to be apart the fandom. I love it to death and I'm not going anywhere. What I am trying to say is, I'm taking a step back. I enjoy the friends I have and I love making new friends, but I'm not going to pursue a relationship in the fandom anymore.

Its a tough pill for me to swallow but if I continue down this path, I feel it would over complicate my life and hurt others within the fandom. So I'll live my single life as is and I will always be happy to call you my friends.

Hi everyone! I hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving this week. May you all overindulge in bird meat and other food stuffs while falling in to some sort of hibernative state soon after.

This video isn't as random as most of my other videos, but filming it and editing it was a ton of fun. This video is now one of my personal favorites. I'm really happy how it came out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

The mind is an amazing thing but some times it makes you go WTF?

Had a really weird dream last night. It starts off with Dragoneer in my living room trying to explain to my dad who Fender is and where we are going for the next 5 days. I cant remember the whole conversation but it ended with my dad getting frustrated,angry and shoving us out the front door. So for some reason I take my moms car instead of mine and start driving to the convention. We cant drive right to the convention because the location is only known by a handful of people so in order to go you have to find someone who knows and ride with them. So we meet up with these really skinny redneck kids that are awkward and annoying in a trailer park. When I got to the trailer park Dragoneer is no longer in the car with me, its just some random dude, but I'm cool with him. So then we all pile in beat up blue Chevy Corsica and go the convention.
When we arrive there is just people running all over the frigging place, like absolute free for all. People ripping plants out of pots, moving furniture around in the lobby, hanging from light fixtures and I'm like holy crap this awesome the hotel doesn't give a shit! The hotel itself looks a cheesy futuristic underwater sea lab from the 1970s. Kinda like SeaLab 2020. We check in but I never go up to the room. I just take off and start running all over the place talking to everyone.
I meet up with some fursuiters and they asked if I want to go down the block to and run through an arcade in fursuit. So I was like ok and head down there and run through the place. I come across this really insane like VR game. Someone tells me its like the best game ever made but no one ever plays it cause you have play it naked and nobody wants to do that in an arcade. So was like the hell with it and went back to hotel.
I was getting hungry and they had this cafeteria area in the sealab. Only problem is they only serve plain hot dogs on a bun, no ketchup, no mustard, nothing on the hot dog. I was like this really sucks but then I find Dragoneer again and asked if I want to go to this place down the street so we don't have to eat these hot dogs. So I'm like ok cool. We get there and again they only serve hot dogs. I'm started getting really pissed but at least this place they let you put mustard on them which calmed me down. We place our order and I'm looking out the window and there is one of those giant Chinook army helicopters with the dual rotors flying out of control. I'm holy shit and freaking out. In got my camera out and was filming it. Eventually it crashes like a block away and flames and smoke filling the air. I was like this is totally insane going out of my mind. Then the hot dog guy yells "order up" and then I'm instantly clam and was like oh ok and sat down at a booth and ate a hot dog.
I go back to the hotel with all the nuts running around and these holographic screens pop up out of no where and it has Robert Stack on them, the host of Unsolved Mysteries. He is the guy running the Convention and wishes that everyone has a good time and stay safe. Then all of a sudden I remember about that awesome video game in the arcade down the street. So I was like the hell with it, I'm gonna play it. So rip off all my clothes in the hotel and run out of the lobby and down the street. Everybody is like clapping and applauding me. Nobody is shocked or disturbed in anyway cause everyone is just partying hard core. So I get to the arcade naked and start playing the game. It turns out it was just a DDR game and there is really no reason for you to get naked for it. It just doesn't work if you have clothes on for no reason whatsoever. I play the game and was unimpressed. Then someone tells me the redneck guys are looking for me and they are outside across the street from the convention. Luclky the guy who told me also brought my fursuit body to wear. I put it on and head back to the convention.
I find the redneck guys whitewashing a fence like Tom Sawyer and they tell me that we have to leave soon. I get really pissed cause we were supposed to stay for 5 days and I didn't ever get my luggage out of car and up to room and now we were leaving. They tell me they won't let me ride back with them unless I help them finish whitewashing this fence. So I help with the whitewashing in fursuit. We finish up and I'm just fuming and cursing the whole time. I get get in the car and as soon the car door slams, I wake up.

Man, well this Sunday was a bust! I have been sick and nauseous all day. A least I have been getting some much needed sleep though.

Dammit well this blows! Christmas 2009 I bought myself a frigging sweet crazy fast i7 desktop with 9gb of ram,a 1tb drive and a huge crazy video card. I always build my PCs but from the specs of this desktop I couldn't build it for the price it was going for, so this rare occasion I bought prebuilt. It was a CG series Asus desktop. It was massive and in your face. I loved it.... At first anyways.
The damn thing kept locking up and crashing but I found out a warm reboot prevented it so I just lived with the issue. Other than that it was amazing. I was able to edit 1080p video real time, virtual synths ran practically real time and all the games I could throw at it were at max settings. I was in frigging heaven.
Last night I was just looking around for some samples for FL Studio and bam! The computer just shuts off and turns back on again. Now though it goes through all the system checks and then when its time to boot off the hard drive it just sits there with a black screen and a blinking cursor in the corner. I can't even get into the BIOS for some reason. I dunno if its the on board SATA controller thats toast or what. If I unplug the drive it says no bootable device but if I plug in any hard drive it doesnt do anything, just the black screen with cursor. I'm gonna check it out later and see if there is way I can flash the BIOS, if not Im just gonna pull everything out and get a better motherboard. I heard the one that came in my desktop was shit anyways.

Ever put on a new dark color shirt and when you take it off you have a rich harvest of fresh belly button lint festooned around that curious little hole in your abdomen. Well I did tonight and it scared the shit outta me. It caught me off guard and looked like a giant spider and it freaked me out.

As children there were friendships. Our young minds and bodies knew nothing more at the time. Simply, "Will you be my friend?" would suffice and lead us down distinguishable paths of love and hate. Inevitably our chemistry changes, we become more complex and so do these paths of love and hate. Simple friendships are no more. The longing for a relationship takes precedence. Love then becomes not as black and white as it was once perceived in adolescence. We must not lose sight of this staggered path of love and we will make difficult decisions in our lives in order to navigate it. These decisions may not always feel right at the time but in the end it will always lead us to the right path of love.

Went to the Zombie Walk in Asbury Park, NJ with  erisvalgen. It was a scary awesome time. Put together a quick little creepy video to give you a bite of what it was like. The number of people who attended was mind blowing. I myself was not part of the undead but maybe next year because I definitely felt bitten by this rotting insanity.

Woo! FurFright was awesome this year. Love this con so much, it's just full of friends everywhere.
