*le sigh*

I am finding it very ironically sad at the moment. For once, I have actually had time to do what I want, but because my local friends boils down to one who is busy all of the time, I have no one to hang out with. It's such a depressing feeling, knowing that after 20 years of living at the same house around the same people, I have no one to have fun with. Kinda sucks...

I am getting so frustrated...

  • Aug. 21st, 2009 at 4:41 PM

I owe people lines. I have homework coming up. I have to share a computer, so I don't get to do the things I need to do. Does my family care? No they don't. They always make doing homework difficult for me, and it pisses me off. I am at a wits end on this, so I am doing something I didn't want to do. I am asking for help. Please, if you can, consider making a donation to my Paypals account. I don't mind if it's just a small amount, but if you can I would greatly appreciate it. I won't hold it against you if you don't though, I just need to get a laptop somehow, even if it is a cheap one. My stress has been out of control because of this fact. If you do this for me, I will owe you big time, and I promise I will find a way to pay it back as soon as I can...

You see? Anime can be useful...ow my arm...

  • Aug. 20th, 2009 at 12:10 PM

Recently I have been watching an anime called Hajime no Ippo, and have been loving every minute of it. It's the story of a high school student and his journey on becoming a boxing champion through hard work and courage. Watching the show got me very pumped to get  into good shape, so I joined Family Fitness last week to burn off the pounds and get a decent physique. Ever since I lost seventy pounds, I have begun to plateau, so a gym was the natural step to continue the rest of the journey. It's an affordable place, and I signed up for personal training as well. I just got back from my second visit with Bonnie my Trainer, and boy  are my arms tired! *insert comedy drum here* Hopefully next time when you guys see me, I will be a whole new man!

Om nom nom!

  • Aug. 3rd, 2009 at 7:33 PM

So I decided to do something I have wanted to do for a while now. I started up a restaurant review blog! :D

http://bigtunit1.wordpress.com/

I plan on reviewing more restaurants this week, so this is where you guys come in! If you have any recommendations or suggestions for restaurants I should try, it would be quite appreciated. If you have an interestin in helping me, or want  to write articles of the site, message me as well^^

Weird week at work...

  • Aug. 1st, 2009 at 10:04 PM

Okay, there have been some unusual moments at work this week, and two that I feel that I should talk about:

1. Someone came in asking me where he could find a computer to install into the Nightrider that he is making. I thought he was joking until he showed me the pictures....rich people with there "more dollars then sense". XD

2. A woman asked me to sell her a computer, not unusual right? Difference is that she brought a gray parrot with her, and spend her time kissing it on a regular basis...with her tongue sometimes....ew. XD

Happy Birthday Christine!

  • Jul. 12th, 2009 at 8:40 PM

She is now 21! She is having a great time in Vegas, spending it with her friends and family^^ It is a little bittersweet that I can't be with her, but I am happy for her. I hope that she enjoys her audio and tangible gift when she gets them^^

 

I have to be honest

  • Jul. 9th, 2009 at 12:19 AM

I am a little scared right now. My father just lost his job, and he was the only breadwinner in the house. Hopefully he won't be out long, because I can't exactly keep the family afloat with my money. He seems confident, but the mystery of not knowing is killing me.

I want...you!

  • Jul. 4th, 2009 at 1:19 AM

...To buy my new fried chicken that is! (sorry couldn't resist X3)

Anyways, I have come to a pretty hefty realization this week. My girlfriend is going to become a pro voice actor before me! My competitive nature is burning! I need to create a demo to send to some production companies. As you may all know, a great demo is needed for something like this, and as you may also know, I suck at designing these XD If anyone is willing to help me design my demo reel, please message me ASAP! I would be in your debt forever!

 

Oh! and if you get the reference above, I owe you a cookie.

...I'm serious.

Done and Exhausted

  • Jun. 28th, 2009 at 9:09 PM

As all things, the North Texas Meetup came to an end. It was a lot of fun, as I met up with subu, Nikoshinigami, bomberman, refi, Miss Kia, and Madskye. The first day, we were at the mall, just hanging out and wandering through it's hugeness XD Then we decided to go to Niko's place and hang, and that desolved into something potentially epic and silly (I won't spoil it :3) I didn't get much sleep that night sadly, as my girlfriend was pretty upset, and I had to calm her down before I went to bed. Today, we went to the Fort Worth Zoo, and there is one thing that stuck out in my mind there; HOT! It was at least 100 degrees outside^^; It was fun though, and we have a lot of pictures of cool animals. Most of them were laying in the shade or the water, which made me think that we were the dumb ones, walking around in the sun XD Pictures should be posted soon of both events. When I got home, I passed out pretty quick. I just woke up about ten minutes ago, and I still feel like passing out. I had fun though, so thank you to everyone who was there! It was a blast!

VAA: What the Hell?

  • Jun. 20th, 2009 at 2:08 PM

So once again, the site is down...Honestly, what's happening to cause it so often, and why does it take so long to fix? It's one of my many issues with the site as a whole. I think I would be cooler with the down site issue if I knew why it happened, but I never see a reason why. If it's site repair, I understand, but you would think that the Administrators would warn for it if that were the case. Hopefully it will be repaired soon so that people can go back to complaining all the time on the site. People on that  forum spend more time complaining about things then voice acting! I think it would be easier to just change the name of the website to Pet Peeve Alliance. I know first hand that life can be tough, but if you are voice acting on a website, you must have a computer and a mic, so I can't see how you could have it too bad. I can't imagine being that angry about things...all of the time! My blood pressure would be ridiculous! Along with that, the whole popularity thing, with it's individual cliques, is a little ridiculous. I know by the age demographic, it's made up of middle and high schoolers, but the VAA should be a place to have fun, not a popularity contest. I find it immature, and has caused me to say "Why bother?" sometimes on the site. I know a lot of people who primarily  go on the site for social reasons, but why would they want to go to a place that's like high school? If they are looking for friends in a forum, then they could possibly have issues with friends in real life, so why would they want to be a part of the same thing that alienated them in the first place? Maybe the VAA isn't a place for someone like me. I enjoy making friends, but my primary focus is to become a voice actor. I have considered many times about leaving the site. I have had enough ego stroking to last a lifetime there, and there a few to no projects that are true judges of skill. I want to be able to feel challenged. I want that drive to better myself for a truly interesting project. Enough of this paint by numbers voice acting, I am looking for more. For now, let's just say I am thinking about it. On a different note, I must be one of the few people in America who feels tensest when preparing for a party. My family goes on a cleaning frenzy, getting all sweaty and pissed off, and I just spend my time avoiding them. Woo~! Fun times~! Oh well, at least it looks like the prep work is almost done, so maybe blood pressures of everyone here will drop soon. The only thing that makes me feel meh about the party situation is the fact that a complete stranger is going to be sleeping in my bed. No offense, but it's kind of my personal domain, and the fact that I have to sleep on a couch for someone I don't know is a little irksome. Once again, oh well. What are you gonna do? Wow, I actually ranted here, a certain rarity XD I'm not the ranting type. I shall sum it up by saying this....I start work next week! Woo!

 

Finally...

  • Jun. 16th, 2009 at 5:28 PM

I finally got a job. I will be working at Best Buy pretty soon. The weight that is finally off my shoulders was tremendous, so it's hard to even call myself happy. More like completely relieved. Thank you to everyone who has been supportive of me during this time^^

So I got some interviews lined up, so hopefully they will yield some fruit...hell, screw the fruit, I want money! The money situation is getting pretty desperate, but I am still optimistic. I've been using my free subscription to Voices 123 to it's full use, and finding the prospect of quick money to be appealing (although I would never fall for that kind of thing otherwise. Sorry, no selling knife sets) Oh! And plans have been set for a Voice Actors meetup at one of my favorite places! The Zoo! I look forward to meeting everyone in my area and beyond :)

I need to get off my ass!

  • May. 26th, 2009 at 5:48 PM

So not only do I have to finish lines I owe and record a commercial demo this week, but I need to find a source of income ASAP! Someone please! Light a fire under my ass! I need some of that burning power!.....okay that sounded weird XD

Well on Patrick's advice, I have been filling out a few hotel applications to see where I can go with it. Hopefully I am qualified enough to get the positions. Other then that, I decided to set up a temporary premium service at Voices.com, after I set up my commercial reel of course :) Other then that, I owe a lot of people lines, including some blood curdling screams for Rashinban (No not like that perverts!) Maybe I will feel a lot more motivated with school starting for me tomorrow. It is only two days a week, but it will at least get me out of the house every once in a while. it is an audio productions class, so in a way I hope it improves my editing skills, especially now that I have released my latest script. In short, I am one busy bee.

P.S. There is a BIG-ASS Spider looking at me on the wall of the office! I'm afraid to walk near it, lest it pounce at me and try to destroy me. Mind you I am not scared of most spiders, but this thing looks like a tarantula! What if it has rabies? I will be invenomated and have rabies! It's a double wammy!

P.P.S. To the prior P.S. It is becoming clear to me that my  girlfriend is influencing me too much XD

*phew*

  • May. 18th, 2009 at 10:43 PM

i have been working out like crazy this past week!

Gotta lose more weight!

I wanna look good!

I am feeling great, but I know I need to do more!

Any workout tips you guys have would be greatly appreciated^^

I am about to be poor...woo...

...sigh...
 

Meh.

  • May. 4th, 2009 at 2:43 AM

Meh.


So I didn't get the job at Best Buy, but from what I heard that is a good thing. Either way though, it still means I am out of a job and out of money. I find myself looking forward to the next few months though, because I am finally going back to school. I'll be taking a class in Audio Production for a few months, and I hope it makes me a better mixer, and get to know that kind of  industry a little better. Other then that, just doing the usual thing of talking to Christine, and missing her like crazy. Don't get me wrong! Talking to her online or on the phone is great, but I miss the way she feels in person. The hugging, the kissing....ahem, anyway! I plan to travel out to LA again as soon as I can, but I am running into the current problem of NOT HAVING MONEY! I certainly hope that I can find work soon, voice acting work even better! As for right now though, T I M E   I S   M O V I N G   V E R Y   S L O W L Y! I got to pick up a hobby....drawing....painting.....male modeling....running a lemonade stand....sock puppets? No, I'm not that bored...

 

Meh.
