What A Wonderful World We Live In

So… It’d definitely been a few days since I actually wrote one of these. Those last two I wrote about 2 weeks ago. Lets give an update.

I started editing Let’s plays again! yaaay. I also went to PAX. That was pretty awesome. Not for why most people would think. I got cool stuff, I saw some cool games, but that wasn’t even it! The best part was meeting some YouTube celebrities. Dodger from DexterityBonus and PressHeartToContinue, Jesse Cox from… Jesse Cox, and other channels but that was the best way to put it… Strippin From The Yogscast, Ken From CinnamonToastKen… Those folks were awesome. Jesse, Ken, and Dodger I met at a signing so they were probably prepped to meet and great. Strippin on the other hand I went super fanboy and grabbed his shoulder and said “STRIPPIN!!”

In hindsight it was rather embarrassing… He hung around for a bit and we chatted. It was epic. Those folks… all nice people. As I was leaving I ran into Jesse again and talked for just a second…. Oohh super informative. I’ve got to say though, I don’t know how these people do it. That stuff was SUPER stressful. Being around so many people constantly bombarded by fans going OHEMGEE you’re so awesome can I take a picture? Even though I’m 75% of the way to an attention whore I think I’d get sick of it after one day. These guys do it all the time…

I guess it puts fame in perspective a little for me. Having your own personal space and all that.. I feel like I should redact some statements I’ve made previously about celebrities…. oh well. Good luck to all you folks that have to deal with that on a regular basis. I will do my best to simply gawk from a few feet away saying “holy shit dude I think that’s *whoever*” and leave you to your business.

Business…. I have to go back to work. Not excited, but excited at the same time. I’m going to check my work email for the first time in 10 days this afternoon… I forgot to set an auto reply for my email…. whoops…. Hopefully I didn’t miss something major and my project that is due up in a week kicks off well still. I’ll be at work for 3 days then I’m off for another 11.. fucking nuts. right? phew… I like pistachios. I could go for some of those right now…

Oh shit, I forgot. I got my TV, well a rear projection TV. I’ve disassembled it already. The science will have to wait until next week when I’m on vacation again. It’s going to be GLORIOUS. I’ll post pictures and videos of my success or failure…

In other glorious news, I’ve happened upon Russell Brand’s YouTube account. That is one interesting man. While I don’t agree with him completely he’s definitely got a few good ideas and has a wonderful look on life in regards to the value of humans and stuff. alright well time for me to go!

Go Hawks!
