As you can see, I’m still alive.
December 27th, 2004 at 05:59 amHappy Birthday Waynus. Even if it is a day late.
I can’t believe it’s already been a year. God I still miss you. My family’s old computer died this past summer and my mom finally gave it to me to see if there was anything salvageable. I managed to get the computer up and running and so I started going through all the old files seeing if there was anything worth keeping. That’s when I found our old IM Logs and read all the IMs that were sent last year about Tan. I had forgotten some of the great things people said about him and it took everything I had not to lose it. You’re still missed Bro.
Well, it’s been what, a week, since I’ve posted? Sorry bout that. However, judging from my vistors counter, not many of you have noticed. I’m home for Christmas and frankly I haven’t been on the computer longer than 10 minutes at a time. Tommy and Clay have had the Internet hooked up to their X-Boxes for most of the time, so I’m lucky just to check my e-mail each day.
Remember how a week or so ago I asked for suggestions for the movie that me and my siblings were planning on making? Well, we ran into a few complications with the damn thing.
- Equipment: First off, I realized I didn’t have the right equipment to transfer the videos over from the camcorder to my computer. After a few days of Googling and $5, I located the correct cord and had that problem solved.
- Location: The mall here sucks. Seriously. For all the bitching I do about South Carolina being too rural, this area makes it look like a bustling metropolis in comparison. I went to check the place out earlier this week and realized that there was no way we would last ten minutes in the place before being thrown out. The malls back in South Carolina are at least big enough to where you can walk around and go in another entrance. Problem remains.
- People: There’s nobody here to pull a prank on! I’m not sure if they all bred themselves out through marrying their siblings or what, but the total population in a 100 sq. mile radius is 12, including my family. Problem remains.
So, we realized that we were gonna have to tweak the plans before we could get something funny. It wasn’t until last night that we found a perfect Soundboard and a working microphone. Needless to say, it quickly became prank phone calling time! After mastering the perfect sound combos faster than an autistic kid solves a rubrics cube, we were off pranking people left and right. So expect those to be uploaded soon.
But what about the camcorder? Well, we still don’t know quite what we’ll be doing with it. We contemplated making a live version of a few flash files on ABS or lip “sing” a few feminine songs, but we always seem to wake up the next morning thinking that our hilarious idea from the previous night is total crap. It goes something like this:
Goob : Guys, let’s make a [insert retarded idea here] type video!
Waynus : HAHAH! Hell yeah!
Clay : That would be hilarious! And it’ll be easy too!
Goob : Okay, this idea can’t fail. I’m gonna download the software we need and make sure this hasn’t been done before.
Waynus : Okay, I’ll start thinking of ideas and write them all down!
[The following morning]
Goob : What the hell is all this crap I downloaded?
Waynus: Guys, this is a fucking retarded idea.
Clay : Yeah, who the hell came up with this shit?
[Repeat every night]
We’re almost at the point of walking around the house with the camcorder and trying to force something funny to happen. I’m gonna make this work, damnit. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. As you can see, it’s 6 AM, which means I need my sleep so that I can wake up in the morning and trash our latest idea.
