sick of this crappy updates and constant errors on here.. new livejournal will take place of this.

http://aoiyoshi.livejournal.com

that is the new location for my journal/blog folks.. if you wanna know why I moved I'll give the full details in an email or over phone or via IM if you choose.. just not here cause i'm frustrated at poor maintanence choices by this site.

Deftones have a new album coming out soon.. and I hope to god I have enough money left over to go buy it. There was some absurd news today about some grocery bagboy in Oregan that claims he wrote and sung every song on Green Day's American Idiot album. I died from laughter at work after hearing that. It's so stupid, hell Tony Bennett has a song called Boulivard of Broken Dreams that Im sure Green Day consulted him in order to use a few lyrics from it. The guy said he wanted half of all the profits from American Idiot sales as compensation. This of course is 1 year or so AFTER American Idiot was released.. so many idiotic people in the world doing stupid shit to get money. This is ALMOST up there with the stupid bitch lady that sued McDonald's for spilling hot coffee on herself and then saying it was too hot and mcdonald's didn't have any warnings telling her that this would be the case. Someone go fly to Oregon please and punch this guy right in the fucking face then slap him with a fish or something. /end rant! and goodnight!

P.S. Tabetha this update was for you my dear :P

DoTA

Fun days

Sunday I got to hang out with Jasmine and Preben and her sister Allayah for a couple hours. Was fun times.. we went out to P.F. changs chinese resteraunt followed by Jasmine's house where she handed me like.. a couple hundred dollars worth of manga to just have lol.. that she didn't want. Was pretty fun then me and other 3 roommates went bowling with Kaley since she was down here from Tampa visiting. I beat Matt in the 1st game and lost to him in the 2nd.. so he started a personal battle with me heh.. good times there too. Tonight I sat up talking with Tabetha insulting coz.. was a good time and laugh had by all. Expecting a nice paycheck on Friday.. which will help alot. Things are going good right now and I'm pretty content~

Thank You

Thank you everyone who helped me during a rough time getting started in Florida, it means alot to me.. and your hospitality was greatly beyond outstanding. I think I'm finally doing ok now that I work consistantly and have dependant/reliable transportation via bike/bus system.

WOOHOO

Finally got a job! I am so relieved it's not even funny.. seriously. I'm working at a pizza place called Cigi's but it's really easy.. compared to pizza hut. It's got alot of cool people but they do good for the buisness they have and they are trying to expand the buisness. I really like the style there and the people are really fun. I'm just excited to be working again. The job pays $7 per hour right now but after a month i'll get up to $7.50 per hour and then more once 6 months hit. I have a consistant route too in order to get to work. Just so relieved right now I can't express it enough.

A new challenge

Well, the hurricane ended up being nothing more than heavy rain.. meh! Yesterday, at about 6pm or so Matt took me to a meeting at UCF for game design. It was involving his Digital Media Classmates and a few others from differecnt majors that were somewhat relating to Game Development. I am not a student at UCF (yet) mind you, however, I get independent study future credit applied to me when I do become an attending student at any college. Since I have experience with graphic design programs such as Flash, Dreamweaver, Adobe Premier, Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and 3d Studio Max for 3D modeling and a few new programs i'm learning, Matt said I wanted to help which I did to get experience as to what projects are like in class. So this is a side project they are working on for seniors, and I will be helping create a new Fantasy/Adventure game. This doesn't pay, but it gets me a project under my belt, which is good.

We are gonna try to get ahold of the Vicious Game Engine and if that doesn't end up happening, we will use Torque Game Engine. I looked up the website and read some press releases, it's a pretty cool and almost simple looking program to work with. They will also get me a copy of 3D studio max 8 since I lost my copy of 5 (score! an Actual Copy of a $45000 program!) It was a 3 hour meeting and we just put out ideas as to what we want in the game. It is going to be a game where you can manipulate and interact from the environment. You will be able to draw and use magic from earth's nature and elements in order to proceed thru the story and learn new abilities and magic. Art Style will be similar to that of Lineage II and something I suggested was Archlord's environment which is a new game that was released for Beta Testing by Codemasters for a new MMORPG last month. I'm really pumped up about it and I look forward to doing this with the group. They know I have not taken any major courses on 3D modeling.. but I am familiar with how it works and I have books and self-study material to help me learn more as to what is going on. Looks like I have more research to get done as well as see if I can download some new programs and updated guides woooo. Til next time~
