Music Pearl Jam - Alive

I just added something to the media page that I hope you will enjoy; Its the New 3 Stooges. It was created after it came apparent that the old 3 stooges shorts were big with kids. They decided to make a cartoon and do a skit before and after each episode. Heres a summary from TV.com:

In 1965, veteran movie comics,the three stooges starred in their own half hour cartoon series, The New Three Stooges. There were 39 episodes. Each show contained 4 cartoons with the stooges supplying their own voices. The team also filmed live-action wraparounds to accompany the cartoons. A total of 40 were done. The live action sequences allowed fans to see the team perform some of their classic routines in full color.

I got these off some Stooge DVDs I bought last year, which only had 4 sketches, bunch of filler material and 2 DVDs of these cartoons. So I decided to post some of the cartoons and see what everybody thinks of them. If I get some positive feedback, I'll post some more.

I heard your voice through a photograph, I thought it up it brought up the past

Music Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside

Its kind of weird. I'm not really feeling mopey and sullen anymore. I mean, theres some felling every once in awhile, but its not as bad as it was a few weeks ago. Even after some bullshit a few days ago, the next day I woke up, and I wasn't felling mopey anymore. I don't know why. But all I did was listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers all night, and when I woke up, I watched Full metal Alchemist vol. 5 DVD. I've done similar things in the past to cheer myself up, but they never worked this good. Or its cause I haven't been drinking much in the past 3 weeks. I must of drank myself into a stupor, and staying away from drinking must of cleared my mind. I didn't even drink on my birthday! Last year for my birthday, all I did was drink for a week straight.

Also my mom is going to the funeral of her aunt and will be out of town for a few days, so if you see a balloon tied to the mail box, thats the international symbol for 'Party over here.' (try to say that that as Cleveland from Family Guy) Also BYOB.

She was a girl, soft but estranged, we were the two, our lives rearranged

Music Red Hot Chili Peppers - Breaking the girl

My mom told me her aunt died the other day, she was 100 years old! I never met her before, and I think I seen a picture of her a few years ago.

I just had a scary revelation; I haven't drank or smoked in 10 days! I'm scared. Hold me.

Music Red Hot Chili Peppers - I Could Have Lied

I'm getting the hang of using the mighty mouse I got yesterday, there are a few things I don't like, but overall, I like it.

A few things I don't like: It makes a squeaky noise when I push down to click. It gets annoying sometimes. When I'm too deep into my music, I don't hear it. Another, is the inability to customize the clicks, there are 4 buttons (or actually 4 sensors that modify the click) and the drivers that come with it allow you to customize, but only with the options they allow.


The customize screen in System Prefs.


The options that you could use for each buttons. The other is for launching applications.


Downside is that you can't have both the left and right click as the primary buttons. You have to have one primary and the other a right click. I could turn off the middle click, but I did that cause I don't use Dashboard really. If I want to use it, I use the keyboard command to bring it up. Also, I haven't got the hang of squeezing the sides to use expose. I want be able to have each button do a keyboard command or something similar. The only thing I could think of, is making an applescript and having it launch when I click down. But thats a theory, I don't know if it would work, and I don't know how to make an applescript.

Upsides: The little ball could scroll 360 degrees. It made it a little easier navigating large websites. And I like that I could adjust the speed of the scrolling. The default was really slow, and it didn't dawn on me right away that I could change the speed. It made playing Civ 3 a little easier. I don't have to rely on using the keyboard too much. I took the time and effort to learn the keyboard commands, now I don't need to use most of them.

I've looked around and people made apps that could change the buttons on the mighty mouse. But they're all shareware and around $20, and I don't have the money to buy an application to customize the mouse when I could just stick with using the keyboard for the commands.

Music Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Wow. Some people actually remembered it's my birthday today. First an Old friend Erin said Happy Birthday, but its also her birthday today too, so Happy Birthday, Erin. I don't know if she still comes to my site, so I doubt she'll see this. 2nd my brother came by on his lunch break to give me a present. I was trying to take a nap since I was waken up early by my niece so I could take her to school. So I was trying to take a nap, somebody knocks on my door, I get up and its my brother, his fist raised and ready to give me a birthday beating. I had to jump back cause I hate birthday beatings. He says "Happy Birthday, brotha." and hands me an Apple store bag. I'm thinking 'IPOD IPOD IPOD' I open it up, and its a... Mighty Mouse and a 1 gig pen drive. I'm like, is the iPod in the mighty mouse box or something. I'm sure everybody hopes for an iPod, but this is still a good present. I haven't really got the hang of the multi buttons, yet. I'm sure I would eventually, but also I don't really like multi button mice to be honest, I like using the keyboard to do the commands, I feel lazy when I do everything using the mouse. I'm sure I'll manage. Also it fells weird touching the little ball on top of the mouse.

Adrian called me up to wish me a happy birthday, he's at work right now so, he said he'll hit me up when he gets off.

Fall on my face but can't you see? This fucking life is killing me!

Music Slipknot - Me In Side

Man, tomorrow is my birthday. Actually I forgot my age, I keep lying about it to girls that I forgot which one is the real one, I think its between 19 and 20. No wait, thats the age I keep saying I am. I think 22. Yeah, I think thats it. Man, I'm old. As long as I could stay young looking and Boyishly handsome, I could lie about my age forever. Altho I'm sure I'm jinxing myself right now.

Also birthday boobies would be greatly appreciated. Ladies, send them to Frankie @ freakinfrankie.com. Guys support the beer fund. Click on some of the ads. Help me get out of this funk with boobies or cash.

Music Nujabes - World Without Words (Samurai Champloo)

Man, ain't this some shit. My DVD player is fucking up. Its not even a year old and its already fucking up. I got a Symphonic WF803 DVD/VCR combo cause I needed a new DVD player cause mine was old, and sometimes wouldn't read discs, and a VCR cause the VCR I had before was eating tapes. So I opted for the DVD/VCR to fix both problems. but now in kind of an ironic twist, I could watch tapes, but not dvds. Now I don't have a viable way to watch DVDs on my TV; I could use my PS2 to watch dvds, but I heard that lessens the life span of the PS2 (I don't know how, the PS2 disks are basically dvds anyways... but I don't want to take any chances). I was frustrated and wanted to watch a movie on my TV, so I was going to use it just this once, and I have a really old tv (I've had it since I was 14) and it doesn't have RCA jacks on it, so I have the PS2 hooked up to the ones on the dvd/vcr, then the cable to the tv, but for some reason the dvd protection kicks in and it makes the screen fuzzy, and un-watchable. I don't know why the protection kicks in, there isn't even a tape in the vcr cause I hardly use the vcr. Its been pissing me off all day and I've been kicking myself cause I should of got the regular dvd player with divx playback for the same price.

I don't know this for sure, but I think the region settings got changed and I don't know how to reset them or change them; When I put the DVD in the player, it shows a little icon that its reading a dvd, then an error message saying "Playback of the disk is unavailable" So it could be that, but I have tried a dvd with no region settings, and nothing.

So if anybody knows how to change the region settings for a symphonic WF803, or knows what could be the problem with it, or that works for symphonic that could send me a new one or a newer one so I don't have to worry about trying to get it fixed, or somebody buy me a new one for the same reson, or what ever, let me know.

Music Red Hot Chili Peppers - Behind The Sun

I know it's past 2 in the morning, but I can't sleep. I tried. All I've been doing is laying there thinking "Damn. That bastard Adrian was right. I am depressed." He brought it up yesterday that I get depressed, and I've been thinking about it, and I am. I was just feeling out of it at first, but now its been bumped up. It's from allot of little things that, bunched together, form one big thing. And Adrian is kind right. I do get depressed, but sometimes it lasts a few hours, a few days, a week, or a month. The longest was about a month and a half. But it was after I was dumped, and alot of bullshit was happening at the time, so it was hard not to be depressed.

1st. Next week is my birthday. I'm going to be 22 and still don't know what I want to do with my life. I know there's tons of people that go through life not knowing what they want to do, but thats them. I don't care about them. I care about me. There's things going on that I don't know which way should I go. For the past few months, its been popping in my head every once in awhile to just join the army or something. I think thats the only place I could apply for and they wouldn't turn down my application no matter what. I've applied many places, but I never get any call backs or anything. My brothers keep asking me when am I going to get a job. I keep telling them "When they hire me."

2nd thing. Of course, being lonely. pretty self explanatory. If I was a chick, I wouldn't want me either.

3rd. I think its from drinking too much lately. I've drank more in the past 2 months, than I have all year, and maybe even last year. I've been thinking of toning down my drinking. I don't want to wind up like my dad. I think thats the reason. My mom always tells me not to drink too much, and she doesn't want me to wind up that way either. I've been thinking of doing an experiment on myself and stop for awhile. But of course it won't be till after my birthday. I'm probably feeling depressed about drinking from when we celebrated G's birthday last saturday. When I got home, I threw up. The next morning I woke up and was still drunk, and I couldn't remember certain parts of the night. I've been blacking out sometimes from drinking allot lately. I don't think thats a good sign.

4th. I guess sitting on my ass in front of this computer is pretty fucking depressing.

5th. My weight. Somebody bought a scale and put it in the bathroom. I weighed myself for the first time in over 5 years. It said I was 190. I thought it would be alot less, but I can't complain, I don't work out and I look skinny. Then I weighed myself again a few days later, it said I weighed 192. Like a week later I weighed my self again, i was down to 190. The other day I weighed myself and it said I was 195. The next day it said 190 again. So either I'm rapidly gaining and loosing weight or that scale is fucking up. I've been skinny for the past few years, it was a welcome change since I was a fat ass kid. After I quit school and sat on my ass for a few years, I actually lost weight. My brothers say its a few good years before the gut comes back. It hits every one of us at different times, and starts from different ways. One brother was a wrestler in high school so he was always working out. Once he was out of school, the gut started growing back. Another brother, would walk everywhere, it was before him or his friends had cars so they had to walk everywhere. A few years ago, it started growing back after he joined the work force and had a kid. Me, I quit school and sat on my ass for a few years, lost the gut and was feeling better about myself. It might be growing or I'm just looking at it too much. One thing I noticed and I told my mom this, is that they all were in sports when they were kids, I wasn't. When I was old enough, my parents said was too expensive. I look at them, they were active kids, now they have the gut. My brothers each say it started when they got in relationships and had kids. They each got lazy and didn't care. I'm the laziest, and I don't care, and I'm the skinny one. I don't know, its depressing thinking about getting my gut back.

Music Cowboy Bebop - Tank !

I know I said I'll post some more shit from the mountain dew tour, but the power went out yesterday as soon as I was going to post. That killed any momentum I had going into the next post. Even when it did come back on, I didn't want to do anything, so I said fuck it, and played Civ 3 for a few hours. Adrian hit me up to find out how are we going to celebrate G's birthday; he's 35 years old now!!!! j/k I think he said 24 or something. So in the usual way we celebrate is by drinking non stop. And we celebrated. Man, I got home and I was felling like Scotty from Eurotrip "I'm never drinking again."

I got back from the Mountain Dew Tour. Actually got back a few hours ago, but I've been drinking with G, and talking about the event. Right now I'm waiting for the replay of the motor cross event on the USA channel to see if I'm on it. I'm sitting front row in the middle of the bleachers behind an OXY sign. I took a ton of pics, I'm going to upload them tomorrow to Flickr account or something, along with some of the videos I took. But thats tomorrow. I'm going to kill my beers and watch the replays then pass out in a puddle of my own filth*.

I will ride by your side wherever you go I won’t run I won’t hide just letting you know

Music Audioslave - Dandelion

I went to music in the park yesterday; in San Jose, every once in awhile they'll put up a stage in this park downtown and have bands play. Yesterday they had Trapt and a 2 other bands. Me and G went, but we were supposed to go with a few other people, but we couldn't get ahold of them. So we went anyways. There was a diverse mix of people there. There was even a yuppie tent, chained of with abunch of people in suits sitting around drinking wine. We were walking around, I was looking for people I know, or bump into people I used to know. While walking around, this guy was giving out free tickets to the mountain dew tour. HE asked if we knew about it, I said yeah, but he must of heard no. So went on to explain what it is. I look down and he has a stack of tickets in his hands. After he's done explaining it, he said "I'll go ahead and give you some free tickets" he pulls out 2, but then pulls out 2 more. They're general admission tickets for saturday, the day before G's birthday. So now he's all happy.

Music Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Power Of Equality (live at Slane)

Last saturday I went to 2 birthday parties; one for my nephew, and one for my niece. The one for my nephew was at a park, and the one for my niece was not too far away at a house. At my nieces' party, my oldest nephew was playing this online MMO called Ragnarok. It looked kind of fun, and He was telling me how to play it for free using a free server. So I downloaded all the files and transferred them to Virtual PC and followed all the instructions to get it to work. After 5 hours of trial and error. I still couldn't get it to work. I said "fuck it". I decided it would be alot easier to just get World of Warcraft since it supports the Mac right out the box. And not have to go through all this shit just to play a MMO, and I don't know if it would even play under Virtual PC. Its just having to pay the monthly subscription each month thats going to mess me up in the long run. I've been wanting to World of Warcraft for awhile now. I'm thinking of bugging somebody to get it for me on my birthday, I doubt anyone would, but I put it on my wishlist. (HINT HINT. FUCKING DUH!)

Oh girl let me FUCK YOU IN YOUR FIRE

Music Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fire (Live)

Man, I just realized that its September already. 3 days into the new month and I just realize. Eh, I also realized that its my birthday in a few weeks. And like every year, I post my wishlist and ask for something and nobody gets me anything or cares. Or even remembers that it's my birthday. NO really, last year my friends didn't even remember it was my birthday, on my birthday till I mentioned I got a game from my mom and brother. They asked "why did they get you a game?" I looked at them and said "Look at the date." They looked at their watches and said "Oh shit. Sorry I forgot." And my brother didn't know until my mom gave him some money and told him to get me something that I'll like, and of course he put his name on the gift too.

I'm used to it, but it still pisses me off. Well actually, I'm always pissed off, but it just brings it to a whole new level of pissed off.

The end of this month also marks the 4th year I've had a website. And the 3rd with this dot com. I started my first site 5 or 6 days after my 18th birthday. I started it using free hosting from Apple called iTools (now .Mac). I got a crappy USB webcam from one of my older brothers for my birthday after I kept dropped not so subtle hints to him that I wanted one. I wanted one cause around that time, I noticed that alot of people that have personal websites also have webcams. I always wanted to make a website, just to find out how to make one. So after I got my webcam, and stopped playing around with it. I started doing my research. They always looked so complex, I played around with an really old program called Claris Homepage (the program was from like '97, and I was using it in 2001.). So my first site wasn't as glamorous as it is today. After upgrading to a newer program, I started figuring out how to do newer shit than copy/paste and drag and drop. When I learned how to use CSS properly, that really helped me out big time.

I got up so tight I couldn't unwind, I saw so much I broke my mind

Music Kenny Rogers - What Condition My Condition Was In

I'm sick and tired of people OFFSITE LINKING SHIT ON MY SITE! I checked out my bandwidth stats for last month, and It was over 8 gigs of bandwidth used. I check and only 40% was used by people actually coming to my site. So 60% was people offsite linking videos off my media page. I put that disclaimer for a purpose. I don't have tons of bandwidth to be used, I don't want to have to pay for extra bandwidth just so some guy could entertain a bunch of dumbasses on some crappy message board. I'm not talking about those that actually link to the media page itself on some cool message board, those guys I respect, they could read and follow directions. I'm talking about those that link to the video itself and waste my bandwidth. When I find out, I have to go in and change the files names so they get a 404 when they click that link. Sometimes if I'm really pissed, I change the file with something else, if you want to see it, CLICK HERE. Its NSFW or stomachs. If you don't want to look at it, I don't blame you. But I put it up so all the other dumbasses look at it, and yell at the guy that posted it. What I used to do before when I had a working .htaccess file in there, I used to have it redirect to Goatse (Wikipedia page, don't worry SFW), but since he's gone, I have to make do with what I got.`

Interesting Post Script; I actually got a guy banned from a message board when the .htaccess file redirected a pic he hot-linked to goatse. Keep that in mind when you decide to offsite link my files.
