we don't need no stinking story!

My short video had a lot of flaws, but it actually had some cool parts in it, as well.

I want to spend a lot more time choreographing a fight before I shoot it the next time.

At least one day before the actual shoot, I want to spend a whole day on nothing but fight choreography.

That way, as long as I don't forget to get an extra camera battery, I'll have all the angles and shots planned out before hand.

Developing a story might take a bit too much effort though.

I'd have to get everyone acquainted with their character and script, and rehearse... yeaaaah, that'd be a bit too much I think.

Safer to just stick with a very short intro and then a nice long fight.

I'll think about the story bit a little more, though...

Whoosh! Thud!

creating your own sounds is fun! I never thought it would be so much fun.
Ahh, but it is time consuming. It's going to take me a while to finish my video.
I'm giving a tentative ETA of Friday for completion.

excellent

Just finished a 10 min mile on a treadmill indoors.
There was a tornado warning at 11pm ish, and I couldn't sleep, so I cleaned up the kitchen and cooked some pancakes, since I was hungry.

After eating those, I really couldn't sleep, so I decided to expend some energy.
I feel better now.

The 10 min mark was a goal I've been trying to reach.

Now to shower then sleep!

Life is a dream, but we can't wake up.

gokucct@yahoo.com — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 01:31:15 GMT

I was going to work some on my scrip today, and I put on some of my studying music to help the creative juices flow.
I ended up falling asleep.

During that sleep, I kept dreaming that I was trying to wake up, but couldn't. I woke up, started to get dressed to go out, and then woke up again.
I was like "Wow, what a crazy dream", and then I woke up again!
lol.
I actually went through that 3 times or so, and I felt this urge to try and wake up, but just couldn't. And the music was playing in the background the entire time.

Well, I'm gonna try to write some more now, and hopefully not fall asleep again.

****
Going to try and make a beef stew tonight, too.

Mush!

39 minute 3 mile jog outside! Yes, nice recovery from Thanksgiving.
Gotta keep it up.

Now's a good a time to write a story as any, I spose...

gokucct@yahoo.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:57:48 GMT

Man, I am one full fella.
I was full and my mom sat a bowl of cocktail shrimp in front of me, and they were awesome.

I've been going over different ideas for my webisode creation.

I want the fighting style to be different than most of what's on the web videos.
When I say different, I'm talking about choreography style. I want the fights to be less kung fu like and more hard hitting and fast, like a db fight style.

As far as background story goes, I haven't really come up with a fixed plan, yet.

A little drama would be good, but if you don't get it right, it'd be incredibly cheesy.
comedy's easy, but I don't want the whole thing to be a big joke like a lot of the videos out there.

I want to deal with some realistic harsh decision making plots, and not have everything be the super happy ending or the opposite end of the spectrum.

I want to keep it real, but with the context of what I see around me, and not just what the media portrays as being the socially acceptable reality.

hmmm...

I guess I should just write down a couple of quick short stories and pick one I'd like to go with.

Ok! Hon' now! a lil' faiah!

Video Games are good for driving

gokucct@yahoo.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:47:39 GMT

What an awesome trip.
The road to the Atlanta Airport was full of Quick Time Events, and the flight had XM radio for free.
Heard some great tunes on the Octane Channel.

Delicious fried rice was awaiting my arrival.
It was so good, I ate two bowls.

I'm off to a bad start. I'd better go jogging tomorrow...
he he he

Play Dough

I'm a very impressionable guy. It helps with the learning process.

All this Assassin's Creed 2 that I'm playing is making me want to run, climb, and jump around my warehouse, but that's not something a "Safety First" minded warehouse manager would do.

On the Youtube front, I've been watching quite a bit of home made martial arts short films. There are some really well done ones out there. I really want to put together a string of 'webisodes' of a martial arts oriented film online. Thinking through everything I would need to accomplish this, I've come across a very limited resource that is essential. I only have one friend that lives in Alabama, and he is married and busy most of the time. I can't make a martial arts film with only myself in it (Or that would be very very weird... uhh... despite my little training film. that's different.)

Sos I think to myself, well I do have friends all around the place, so I can travel to where they are, and film a short episode based around them. Now all I have to do is think of the premise for a guy traveling around getting into fights with different people in each episode. When you stop and think about it, it's probably not too hard to come up with a story for that. It's kinda like most martial arts TV shows that came on, but the only difference would be that i wouldn't have a consistent cast (other than myself).

Any one have any ideas? I'll have to mull it around a bit during Thanksgiving.

Stay on Target...

11 min mile outside.
Yosha!

Push it to the limit!

gokucct@yahoo.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:49:11 GMT

3 miles in 38' 30" (Inside)

Terry just won the US Army Korean Nationals TKD tournament.
That's awesome. I must up my training.
I wonder how much more I can improve in the next 2 months...

What is UP Doc?

gokucct@yahoo.com — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:40:51 GMT

12 min outside mile.
That was a good mile.
Did another mile after wards, but nothing like the first.

I actually was craving a V8 after wards, and when I was walking in the produce aisle I was craving carrots. I mean really like give me a raw carrot right now craving. Guess I need the vitamins. The V8 seemed to take care of it.

Now for some more Uncharted 2 online.

It's not easy being the boss.

gokucct@yahoo.com — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:39:22 GMT

whew.
Just had a nice Halloween workout.
The moon was almost full. No one was around, and I did a nice set of 500 kicks and 1000 punches.
Tomorrow is the jogging.

Heck no you can't drive!!!

gokucct@yahoo.com — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:20:46 GMT

What a busy Saturday.

I woke up, went jogging with Dave around 1130AM, got back and took a shower, and then went to the Flying saucer to watch the Alabama vs UT game.
It was a pretty good game. Kinda strange with me coming from Alabama, but at the same time having graduated from UT. I could be on the fence and kind of just rooting for both sides.

David got his beer plate of honor for drinking over $1000 worth of beer there, or something like that. After that we went to his fraternity's Rocktoberfest party, where we hung out and played Rockband and ate chili and bratwurst. Then we went to BW3's to watch UFC, and then they talked me into going out to Beale street with them. It was midnight when UFC was over, and I was ready to call it a day, but not wanting to be a party crasher, I agreed to tag along.
I like how they are using metal detectors at Beale street now. It makes it a lot safer for everyone, I think.
We went to club 152's and there were waaaay too many people.
I was ready to go about an hour (or maybe less) after we got there.

Anyways, I was having to do the drunk people chaperone routine the whole time, too. Wrestling for the car keys and making sure people didn't walk into buildings. lol.

Fun day, but very taxing.

I think I might pick up Uncharted 2, so this week should go well.

I'm not down with the sickness.

gokucct@yahoo.com — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:05:27 GMT

Just enjoying a day off of work.
Trying to get over this cold that crept up on me yesterday while I was working.
Mainly just headaches, slight fever, slight soreness, etc, but I think I should be better off tomorrow.

I'll be working pretty late hours next week, taking care of monthly reports, and preparing for customer visits, so I hope I don't have a headache tomorrow.

If I'm lucky, I'll get everything done, and leave work early on Friday and head over to Memphis with Mark to visit Davey boy. Finally a semi long weekend.

I'm looking forward to going jogging with him on Mud island. Slooow jogging. lol.

under 40 min 3 mile

gokucct@yahoo.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:31:50 GMT

Get!

But on an indoor machine. It was raining outside.
The machine's easier than outside, because the track is a lot softer than the cement outside.
It's a lot more boring, though...

Green Grapes and an orange for dinner! Yum!

Eat an orange

gokucct@yahoo.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 01:33:48 GMT

Shall we get some more light seeds?

I got the crappy POP ending today. That's pretty much all I did today, besides wash some clothes and clean up in the kitchen a bit.

Just laid around collecting light seeds.

I still have about 167 more to get before I can get the good ending.

My body needed the day of rest though, I did my jogging yesterday, but I could tell I was starting to get worn down.

I should be good to go for tomorrow, though...

Back at it!!!

11 min mile

gokucct@yahoo.com — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:28:17 GMT

get!

Just laying here listening to the rain.

gokucct@yahoo.com — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 01:12:53 GMT

I'm so boored.

I'm not in the mood to do anything.

Played enough POP.

Worked out enough this morning.

Don't have any energy left on Mafia Wars.

I'm not hungry.

I'm not thirsty.

I don't want to read a book.

I don't want to watch a movie.

I don't want green eggs and ham.

I actually want to just go to sleep, wake up, and go to work.

The sad part is, I don't think I'm quite tired enough to go to sleep...

gokucct@yahoo.com — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:30:43 GMT

work work work work work work work work work work.

The week seems so much longer when you have to work 6 days a week.
If I actually got paid more for working overtime, it'd probably be different.

Ahh, the joys of a slow auto market.

It's getting cold out now. Autumn's my favorite time of year.

Time to pull out the long sleeves and jackets.
I really like jackets. I think I just like that wrapped up in a blanket with a cold wind blowing feeling.

Guess I better get used to the cold, since I'm visiting Korea in the dead of winter. I want to go to a mountain over there, if possible.
Take some shots of me falling off the mountain running away from an avalanche.

Awesomeness.

I finally got my new Passport, too. My picture on it looks like a terrorist.

I look foward to the incredulous looks on the security's faces at the airports.

good trip

gokucct@yahoo.com — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:32:12 GMT

It's been a busy week. I've learned a lot and plan to apply it.

I'm waiting for my connection flight to Atlanta right now. I'm pretty tired actually. Hopefully, I'll be able to sleep in the plane on the way there.

sleeeeeep...

Worldly life is an illusion

gokucct@yahoo.com — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 02:20:10 GMT

Feelin good. Had another great work out. Did a 12 minute mile, but started to walk/jog/skip the rest of the 2nd mile. That's ok though, because I warmed up before I went jogging by doing kicking drills and stretching. I think it helped out.

I did some more stretching after I got done jogging. I think I'm going to be ok.

I stopped by Walmart afterwards and picked up some soda for the employees for rewards for safety month, and I picked up Wolverine Origins and the latest season of Smallville.

I think I'm gonna be alright by the end of this year. I just have to stay focused...

Because my big legs and Karate.

gokucct@yahoo.com — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 23:41:56 GMT

ahh boy...

Jogging is bad for flexibility. Great for losing weight, but bad for my leg elasticity.

I can feel the leg muscles pulling now when I go into the splitz. That sucks.

It messes up your axe kicks and such. Now I know how those silly people in TKD felt when they were complaining about not being flexible enough to do moves.

Have to focus on stretching in between workouts more...

Sweeet Hoooo~me Arizona~!

gokucct@yahoo.com — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:47:07 GMT

Woohhooo! I get to go to Arizonay today to see my friend oyvey!
It's been a long time. I can't wait.
I'm excited. I hope to get some good footage for to make the video with.

I have to go home and pack during lunch, because I got busy watching the seven swords last night and was too lazy in the morning.

wweeeeeeeiiiiii!

I still haven't decided on what type of camcorder I'll buy, but I'm closing in on a good brand, I think. I'll have to do a little more research after work today.

My tooth is feeling better now. It is still very sensitive to extreme temperatures, but it doesn't really ache so much of its own volition. Whew... that's a relief. I do NOT want to go threw having any more teeth extractions.

Had some coworkers from KY come by for a visit. It was good to have some socialization for a change after work.
Now I have to get back to the training schedule, though...

Pain is only in the mind... and the side of the head.

gokucct@yahoo.com — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:03:16 GMT

When I went to the dentist last week for a cleaning, I also had a filling put in on one of my molars that had wisdom tooth compacted on it. Supposedly the cavity it caused was deep, although I didn't feel anything at the time. After the filling was complete, though... My tooth hasn't stopped hurting since. They said it may be sensitive to cold and heat, but it aches even when there isn't that outside stimulus.
It mainly aches more at night for some reason (Although it's aching some now), and then during the day, I barely notice it. Maybe it's because my mind is occupied with other things during the day.
I did some research online, and came across an article entailing that if a filling is too deep, it may cause the nerves in the teeth to die and ache perpetually. The only remedy for that is a root canal or tooth removal, apparently. I hope it's not that. I think my dentist screwed up the filling. Not much I can do now, but hope it heals in time.

The constant ache actually starting to make the left side of my face ache, which is in turn, causing a slight head ache. Very annoying. If not for the head ache, I could simply ignore and tolerate it more effectively.

ahh well... The redneck dojo called me up while I was at work and told me that there'd be a free MMA class today at 1pm. I'm tempted to go. I'll sleep on it.

Hmm... I need a pain userpic.
