[17:21] 2dizzy: another part of me is upset
[17:22] 2dizzy: and another part finds it funny the closer we get the more they are portraying Obama as the anti christ
[17:22] Fashiggity: exactly
[17:22] Fashiggity: its not obama as the anti christ.. its the idea of 'anger'
[17:24] 2dizzy: that too
[17:24] Fashiggity: thats why i was wondering what is the ethnicity of the writer
[17:24] 2dizzy: Bush got upset and we've been in a bullshit war for 7 years
[17:24] Fashiggity: for him to kinda compare two to ethinic groups
[17:25] Fashiggity: *two
[17:26] 2dizzy: I was wondering that as well the beginning I thought he may be of vietamese or asian heritage, but as I read on I'm like this dude has to be white
[17:26] Misty: my opinion on the article
[17:27] Misty: the article doesn't consider the hundreds of years that black people in this country enslaved, then oppressed, basically told that they would make nothing of themselves
[17:27] Misty: that they could be nothing
[17:27] Misty: and it transfers from generation to generation
[17:28] Misty: ur taught your parents and grandparents anger and then on top of that when you are mistreated it makes u even angrier
[17:28] Misty: those people came to america seeking a better life, thinking it would be a better life
[17:29] Misty: black people have been here for hundreds of years and have endured hundreds of years of mistreatment
[17:29] Misty: it will take mor ethan 20 years to turn that tide around
[17:30] Misty: i mean its common knowledge that they sent crack into inner city neighborhoods on purpose
[17:30] Misty: it's been admitted
[17:30] Misty: it's a big vicious cycle that's been going on for soooo long
[17:31] Misty: it's amazing how people can be so short sighted and think just because the resources have been available in the past twenty years or so that things should suddenly be different
[17:31] Misty: do u think these people don't remember?
[17:31] Misty: of course they are angry.
[17:32] Misty: i'm not saying that should be an excuse to do poorly, to not attempt to have something bad

[17:32] Misty: have something better*

A Discussion
In response to this article:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/03/obamas_anger.html
[19:25] Fashiggity: i cant picture myself putting my name on this article if i wrote it
[20:54] MixedMike: people usually don't like hearing the truth
[20:54] MixedMike: even less so when it's the truth about their motivations, actions, or lack there of.
[20:55] MixedMike: myself especially. =P
[20:55] Fashiggity: the truth is only as valuable as it's received
[20:55] MixedMike: true
[20:57] MixedMike: i think he presented it in such a way that it can be motivational and its truth would be self eveident without having to beat someone over the head with it.
[20:58] Fashiggity: the reason why im curioius as the ethnicity of the writer
[20:59] Fashiggity: is because i mildly disagree that we shouldnt try to involve the 'anger' of race relations, etc..
[21:00] MixedMike: well i'm sure you could find out the ethnicity of the author without too much trouble.. i really havn't been interested enough to look
[21:01] MixedMike: as for anger in race relations, i think that a certain amount of anger is okay, but if you use it as an excuse to do nothing, then it's a waste of time
[21:01] Fashiggity: true
[21:02] Fashiggity: but he does marginlizes all african americans as wanting to 'owe' something
[21:02] Fashiggity: when there are actual african americans that succeeded on their own merit
[21:02] Fashiggity: and bases that in comparison to the asian american experience
[21:03] Fashiggity: its a touchy area when a person from one ethnicity critiques another ethinicty foreigh to his/her own
[21:03] Fashiggity: *forein
[21:03] Fashiggity: *foreign.. grrr typos
[21:03] MixedMike: haha it's okay
[21:03] MixedMike: he does generalize but i think that those generalizations hold water
[21:04] MixedMike: it's a small part of the black community that has done well for themselves, and those few are told that they sold out, or are called "uncle toms"
[21:05] MixedMike: i direct you again to clarence thomas
[21:06] MixedMike: he should be a shining example for the black community and yet he's held in contempt, in contrast kobe bryant or any superstar athlete is a hero.
[21:06] MixedMike: but then again, the concept of being "owed something" is not unique to the black community
[21:06] Fashiggity: true.. but thats another argument within itself
[21:06] MixedMike: i can see that in the asian community
[21:07] Fashiggity: it is his opinion to which i agree.. but at the same time we should agree that as one (or more) ethnicities, we will never understand hows it like being another ethnicity
[21:07] Fashiggity: we always see it from the outside biased from our personal experiences
[21:07] MixedMike: the fact that a lot of my friends parents did well for themselves, their kids, my friends, feel like they deserve to have all the money and the privilages that go with their status without the work that goes along with it
[21:07] Fashiggity: and its something that i myself learned never to touch upon
[21:08] MixedMike: i suppose thats the safe approach and except for this one instance it's something that i've gone along with myself
[21:09] MixedMike: but i think that people need to learn to get beyond race, because in america of 2008
[21:09] MixedMike: if you can not do well for yourself, it's not because someone else is holding you back
[21:09] MixedMike: it's because you're holding yourself back
[21:10] MixedMike: whether it's ambition, motivation, or desire.. you have to be lacking in one or more of those things to not succeed in the amercia of today.
[21:11] Fashiggity: i agree
[21:11] Fashiggity: and race is yet an obstacle, exclusive to people of color.. and while i stand by this fact, im not advocating using it as an excuse.. its a hurdle we need to get over
[21:12] MixedMike: i agree
[21:13] MixedMike: but i contend that it has now become an obstacle largely in the persons mind and rarely if ever institutional or enforceable.
[21:13] Fashiggity: look at obamas run for the nomination to the presidency as an example
[21:13] MixedMike: hmm?
[21:14] Fashiggity: if people werent celebrating the fact that hes a brotha that won new hampshire
[21:14] Fashiggity: then yes, i say race does not exist at all
[21:14] Fashiggity: and of course its not so much there are people still prejudiced by a black president.. he gets more flack from his own community whether or not he's 'representing them right'
[21:17] MixedMike: how society percieves race is one thing.. and it's interesting to watch the democrat race
[21:17] MixedMike: but my comments go to the individual
[21:18] MixedMike: i think the voluntary segregation of the races is part of the problem
[21:18] MixedMike: and is most of the reason why race relations haven't gotten better
[21:18] MixedMike: people would rather think of themselves as black, mexican or asian, than as an american.
[21:18] MixedMike: even the people who use all the hyphens =P
[21:19] Fashiggity: mm hmm
[21:20] MixedMike: i think my point of view is widened by the fact that i'm mixed and have kind of an ambigious affiliation to the asian culture
[21:20] MixedMike: but it's with a kind of one foot in/out deal
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/03/obamas_anger.html

Personal Update
New updates where I am for the 1 or 2 who reads this:
- I went PERM a Disney! YAH BABY! Surely, I'm going to go through a different set of bullshit but at least it'll be a little harder for me to hit the unemployment line. Let me see, I been here since 2003 and it took me friggin 5 years to find something permanent, right in time for the recession, yay. Hopefully the new president will get us out of that rut.
- I'm still doing the video thing and shit, I'm laggin on the project, not to mention I have 2 weddings coming up. Hopefully the After Effects session with Brian tomorrow will take my shit to the next level and get me motivated to edit again.
- The manga is in full effect! I realized that it takes a long time to actually finish a chapter. Ever watched American Splendor? Thats how its coming together. The manga version of Harvey Peckar homie!
Anyways, I think I need to roll because P is waiting for me to get off her comp. Anyways, see ya next month on the personal update!

Caught This on a Myspace Blog..
FILM DISTIBUTION ADVICE:
My company, Brazos Pix produces, distributes, and sells films for independent filmmakers.
The film distribution business has changed radically in the past two years. These days all of the distributors are seeking movies with "name" actors. A "name" actor is someone whose name was above the title on a successful feature film released by a major studio.
If your film does not have a "name" actor, you should use the film festival circuit to give your film a "name" reputation. If your movie screens at one of the important festivals then it will have a "name" reputation among the distributors.
The most important festivals are the ones the distribution acquisition executives attend. Those festivals are: Sundance, Slamdance, Tribeca, Toronto, Cannes (three sections), Berlin, Rotterdam, Venice, Telluride, LA Independent, AFI/LA, AFI/Dallas, SXSW, Locarno, Edinburgh, New York, San Francisco, San Sebastian, and New Directors-New York.
There are thousands of indie films being made. Getting accepted into prestigious film festivals is very competitive and difficult. As a filmmaker you have two assets that can give you leverage in your movie’s successful festival submission: the film’s length and the world premiere.
Your movie should have a maximum running time of 90-96 minutes total (including credits.) Very few movies play well at longer running times. The length is critical to getting accepted into prestigious festivals. As an example, Playtone Pictures (Tom Hanks’ company) has a rule that none of their features can run longer than 96 minutes. You want the audience to leave the theater wanting more, not less.
The world premiere of your film is very important to the film festival programmers. They are very competitive with their counterparts at other festivals. They like discovering new films, but they really love hosting the world premiere. Also, do not discount the importance of the European premiere, the North American premiere, and the U.S. premiere.
Submit your film at the earliest deadline possible. This allows the festival programmers to discover your film. Because there are thousands of indie films, the programmers are overwhelmed by the volume of last minute applications. Submitting at the last deadline makes it impossible for your film to get into these festivals, especially if you do not have any "name" actors.
If your film is rejected by one festival, then move on to the next one. Be a shark and keep moving forward. It is a waste of time to re-submit to the same festival the next year. This process of submitting to the important festivals will take at least a year. Patience is required.
Good luck,
Steve Purvis

Britney In a Shell
Thanks A for letting me know about this vid. Gosh, I was hoping she'd do some dancing for this specific song (on Break the Ice, there's a break in the song that showcases cool 808 drum sequence that I know many dance troupes are going to bust some crazy moves on), but the video still looks hot (for all you anime Cowboy Bebop Aeon Flux Ghost in a Shell fans out there). I wished they made Britney thicker though. :-X

2Dizz Chronicles: "Get Like Me"
This is a truncated version since the uncut version is a lil too graphic.
"Get Like Me" - A game where one person does something, and the other person follows, and it's usually a f'd up action like sockin someone in the face, and the other people have to do the same.
[17:22] 2dizz: so my older brother takes the pipe and throws it off the first street bridge
[17:23] 2dizz: little did he know, or maybe he did, that he'd have the arm to hit a car in parking lot about a block away
[17:23] fashiggity: SHIT
[17:23] Koiphish: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
[17:23] Koiphish: Goddamn, you guys are walking disasters
[17:23] 2dizz: so knowing my younger brother were not strong enough to compete with his arm stregnth he said, 'just hit a car'
[17:24] fashiggity: LMAO
[17:24] fashiggity: thats so f'd
[17:24] 2dizz: so we picked a rock off the bridge and throw a car below
[17:24] 2dizz: it hits the window, nothing happens
[17:25] 2dizz: so my older brother grabs a rock and say, if you want to hit a car right below us you have to use force like this
[17:25] 2dizz: and off goes the rock and another broken window
[17:26] 2dizz: so my little brother and I figure, we may want a bigger rock, that will definately break a window
[17:26] 2dizz: low and behold just as we were about to get off the bridge a rock layed waiting
[17:26] 2dizz: oh this was a beautiful rock
[17:27] 2dizz: easily 6x4
[17:27] Koiphish: lolololololol
[17:27] 2dizz: quite heavy as it took both of us to balance it on the bridge
[17:27] 2dizz: I guess deep down I aimed for the pick up in hopes of hitting the cab with this rock
[17:28] 2dizz: as I knew for sure it was going through a window
[17:30] 2dizz: so up it went on the rail of the bridge
[17:31] 2dizz: both my brother and I trying to balance it to drop it on this silver pick up
[17:31] 2dizz: so as it was lined up off it went
[17:32] 2dizz: everything went into slow motion
[17:32] fashiggity: LMAO
[17:32] 2dizz: that rock went into the front window of the unsuspecting pickup below
[17:32] 2dizz: it didn't just hit
[17:32] 2dizz: it hit shattered and went through
[17:33] 2dizz: so my brother and I are going ape shit on the bridge for taking out an entire front window
[17:33] 2dizz: until it happened
[17:33] 2dizz: a guy was in the truck
[17:33] 2dizz: not just a guy
[17:33] 2dizz: but a guy with a chick
[17:33] Koiphish: :O
[17:33] Koiphish: :'D
[17:33] 2dizz’ Wifey: y'all coulda killed somebody
[17:33] 2dizz’ Wifey: again.
[17:33] 2dizz: let's just say she was a member of the worlds oldest profession
[17:34] fashiggity: LOLOLOLOL
[17:34] 2dizz: dude get's out of the car with his pants around his kness and ankles
[17:34] Koiphish: LMAO
[17:34] fashiggity: LMAO LMAO
[17:35] 2dizz: so our stupid ass is on the bridge making fun of dude
[17:35] Koiphish: HAHAHAHAHA
[17:36] 2dizz: he hops back in the car/truck
[17:36] fashiggity: OH SHIT
[17:36] 2dizz: kicks out his front window
[17:36] Koiphish: Aw hell yeah

"Get Like Me" - A game where one person does something, and the other person follows, and it's usually a f'd up action like sockin someone in the face, and the other people have to do the same.
[17:22] 2dizz: so my older brother takes the pipe and throws it off the first street bridge
[17:23] 2dizz: little did he know, or maybe he did, that he'd have the arm to hit a car in parking lot about a block away
[17:23] fashiggity: SHIT
[17:23] Koiphish: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
[17:23] Koiphish: Goddamn, you guys are walking disasters
[17:23] 2dizz: so knowing my younger brother were not strong enough to compete with his arm stregnth he said, 'just hit a car'
[17:24] fashiggity: LMAO
[17:24] fashiggity: thats so f'd
[17:24] 2dizz: so we picked a rock off the bridge and throw a car below
[17:24] 2dizz: it hits the window, nothing happens
[17:25] 2dizz: so my older brother grabs a rock and say, if you want to hit a car right below us you have to use force like this
[17:25] 2dizz: and off goes the rock and another broken window
[17:26] 2dizz: so my little brother and I figure, we may want a bigger rock, that will definately break a window
[17:26] 2dizz: low and behold just as we were about to get off the bridge a rock layed waiting
[17:26] 2dizz: oh this was a beautiful rock
[17:27] 2dizz: easily 6x4
[17:27] Koiphish: lolololololol
[17:27] 2dizz: quite heavy as it took both of us to balance it on the bridge
[17:27] 2dizz: I guess deep down I aimed for the pick up in hopes of hitting the cab with this rock
[17:28] 2dizz: as I knew for sure it was going through a window
[17:30] 2dizz: so up it went on the rail of the bridge
[17:31] 2dizz: both my brother and I trying to balance it to drop it on this silver pick up
[17:31] 2dizz: so as it was lined up off it went
[17:32] 2dizz: everything went into slow motion
[17:32] fashiggity: LMAO
[17:32] 2dizz: that rock went into the front window of the unsuspecting pickup below
[17:32] 2dizz: it didn't just hit
[17:32] 2dizz: it hit shattered and went through
[17:33] 2dizz: so my brother and I are going ape shit on the bridge for taking out an entire front window

Unhappy With Your Wii?
Let me guess, other than the Nintendo Mario/Zelda/Metroid games and Wii Sports, all other Wii games suck, right? I agree, but there are hot titles for this hard to find console. Unfortunately for sports fans, there are none (unless you dont mind playing the type that does not have your favorite teams or real players.)
Honestly, Nintendo does not seem to care about the hard core gamers who also own a 360 and the PS3 and it's paying off because the Wii is still a bitch to find. It is a wider audience, but only time will tell when consumers will get tired of the Wii trend. Here are a couple things that will keep the Wii strong:
- Stop porting from the PS3 and the 360 to the Wii.
Nothing spells ASS like taking a very nice graphically superior game from the 360 and PS3 and trying to see how it looks on the graphically inferior Wii. I know, don't judge a book by its cover, but normally Wii ports are ass and the controls are ass with a shart flying to your face.
- Tweak the Engine of No More Heroes
It is a damn crime that No More Heroes (peep the video at the bottom of this post) has piss poor marketing. The controls are great and its a great gateway to the Wii if you've been raised on the traditional controller. It plays like a regular console game and the only time you wave your wiimote like a tool is when you perform a special finisher to your combo. If Nintendo Wii developers wanna make a Devil May Cry/Ninja Gaiden killer, look no further than this game's engine.
- Better marketing of the 3rd party companies that are not Nintendo and Capcom
The only games I enjoyed playing on the Wii come from Nintendo and Capcom (the Resident Evil 4 port and Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. As someone from the bottom depths of the game industry, I only knew about No More Heroes from various sites and a couple people. (I don't know anybody that played Killer 7 btw).
- Come out with a Wii capable of 1080P displays
I don't know how long 480P will be hot, but if Nintendo converted its Gameboy Advance to Gameboy Advance SP, I have a feeling that we may see "WiiHD" in the future. Now that would be hot.

Baby Bro Dillemma
The douchebag brother I live with (whom I should be thankful for providing my a place to stay in LA) is trying to act all nice with me. Its no secret (whenever I vent to my other brother and friends) that the majority of our conversations is him acting like a douche, being pissy when I leave the light on, getting a fit because of one or two dishes in the sink, pretty much little shit here and there. This is the dilemma of being the younger brother - anything you say is bullshit because you're simply younger.
Him: Are you sure you place the recycle bins the correct way?
Me: Yes.
Him: I thought they were placed this way? Lets go outside to check!
Maybe he has some nice shit to say to me, but every compliment I get go through my ears. I learned to block out every negative shit he said to me and it culiminated to EVERY thing he says to me nice or bad. It turns into an annoyance because I have some more pressing shit to do (like veg out on the internet after 12 fuckin hours of work and working on my side projects). I'm hoping to land something permanent soon. I surely need to move the fuck away from here.
