looks like pandas still like headphones.

if you read the last post you'll know i was going to buy a bunch of games. well i did just that.

i bought Borderlands, i downloaded Little big planet, and my cousin bought me Assasin's Creed II

that's about it.

seriously Me-Love12, i've got nothing to talk about. the reason i made this blog was to tell my friends how my life was going sorta like a letter on the internet. i'd say email, but it takes longer for them to read it.

my day today:
woke up around 11:30
tried out my new walkie talkies
made a video that i posted on my facebook
watched tv

i'm boring as hell.

goodbye life, send me a postcard!

alright so i'm spending all my money on a crapload of new games coming out. i'm really just waiting to get my laptop, cause the mini DVD player i used to use as a tv doesn't work anymore.

The life-wasters are as follows:





i'm really the most excited about assasin's creed 2, and Little big Planet for psp, because i loved the prequels to those, and they can only get better (okay so technically LBP for PSP isn't a sequel, but it's still after the first one)

our worst fears

okay so life is becoming a videogame, complete with shitty diologue, and bad voice acting. in Fallout 3 there is a hairless bear called a "Yao Guai", and it is dangerous.


now there's a bear at a zoo that's becoming quite the same thing

the world is going to end soon. that or Washington DC will be taken over by Super Mutants, and for some reason people will build a town around an un-exploded atomic bomb. either way we're fucked. all we need now is the government to put us in vaults.

for co-op: soccer ball

the goal of this project was to make a soccer ball and grass completely in photoshop using the shape tool, the record feature, and spherize. the grass was made with a special brush.

for co-op: gradient blur

Before and After shots
for this project the goal was to use the gradient tool and blur effects to make the train the main focus of the picture.

for co-op: out of bounds effect.

for this project the goal was to take a picture of wolverine, and make it seem as if he was coming out of the screen by using layer masks, and the eraser/paintbrush tools. I also used the clone stamp to finish one of the claws that was previously cut off by the edge of the picture.

for co-op: skin replacement

for this project the goal was to take a picture of a girl, and completely replace her skin with that of a strawberry using the clone stamp tool.

for co-op: image merging

for this project the goal was to take 3 completely different images, and then merge them together to make one. in this case the images are some mountains, the toronto skyline, and africa.

for co-op: photo re-touching

i used photoshop to re-touch a photo of some girl. the point of it was to make the photo look more attractive through airbrushing, and other retouching techniques.
Before and After

flying is the #1 priority as of yesterday

i found some stuff about being a bro:
http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=287
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1832251

i really hope that's only in 'merica. i also hope there's a Ched (redneck bro) in my college somewhere, but that's doubtful since i was aiming for an art school.

so i quit today. yeah i know "nathan, you always talk about work!" well that's over now.

and all of my semester will be filled with making super trippy photoshopped pictures, and hallucinating constantly with jasmine, since she's pretty much always holding, and she's in my co-op class. sucks to be you people.

i just spent some time getting twitter. god knows why. oh i remember, it was this:
http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
i guess if i get a cellphone i'll actually use it. otherwise i'll just post my complaints about life here. also, i'm not telling you where it is, because if you actually cared you'd have looked it up by now.

i got some random money today.
i think
something to do with whatever money my dad got from selling my mom's apartment and stuff.
apparently i'm using it to give my dad a loan.

if i was a superhero, i wonder if people would have learned from movies and wouldn't just assume that because i could do things they couldn't that i was a bad person. i bet i'd get all sorts of sex too, cause girls would think that maybe their babies could be super too.

what a great life

i'm going to need to learn to drive soon. then my dad says he's going to buy my first car for me (i'd have to pay him back) cause the insurance would be shit otherwise. first things first i've gotta buy that fucking book.

that's all for now

keep it ninja

where are all the bitches at?

i want one of those old-timey pipes. they look so cool.

so i really hate work. they keep firing people, so now i have to work a shitload to make up for the shifts that aren't taken. i hate it so much. work is something that shouldn't take up this much of my life.

i wish i had a friend that was a robot.
GUESS WHAT!
nothing
nothing at all

i'm excited for my personal vacations from reality. also i want to go to my cousin's. that's happening. soon. like next week.

i really should have had more to talk about.

our show was pretty good, but i really just want to play the opera house again.

keep it ninja

easy livin'

so today i had a moment at work where i was wrapping something and i was like "this feels good. i can do this"
....i never want to feel that way about work EVER AGAIN.

i've been watching lots of drug videos today. it's been good. i really want to hallucinate, but i need to make sure that i've got somewhere to stay for the night that isn't my house. i'm thinking i want that montreal trip to happen again, but without the part where i freaked out. just the joy part.

fuckin samsquamsh

i need to figure out what i'm doing with my life, cause all i've got in my head right now is "art". that's WAYYY too broad, and i need to figure out what specifically i want to do. i've got photo editing, storyboarding, graphic design, i could actually make my t-shirt company, concept artist, or animator. there's probably more, but that's all i can think of right now.

so i'm really glad that ashley isn't the only one reading my blog.

that's sarcasm.

she is the only one

it's me, NRG, layin' down a rap with my G, Mikey B

i need more to talk about, i had more, but that's all i remember

oh except somehow today at like 9:17 there was an old lady walking around the store while i was taking down the vegetables and asking multiple times where the plain bagels were, and why nobody was at cash.

some people are DUMB people.

anyways that's about it

keep it ninja (no more song lyrics, it's getting too hard.)


(that's what she said)

fuck off

...alright, sorry, let's start fresh
i'm nathan
fuck you
alright that doesn't work

so i've got my brand tight-little-ass-spankin' new (sorry, i'm just excited) Xbox 360, and ea skate 2. if you care at all i'm like 3/4 done the game, and that's only cause i've been doing other things, cause it's hard to stay on the story when you can literally go ANYWHERE in the game and skate. i've actually played it so much that i had a weird dream where i was the skater, and then for some reason this girl (a real person that i know) slides out of nowhere on her back all ragdoll-like infront of me (naked i might add). anyway there's more to the dream, but it's not important.

i need more games though. i mean skate's awesome, but ADHD is a bitch, so i need other things to do. of course that's why sandbox/free-roam games are great, cause you can do SOOOOOOOO many things, and with such a huge place to do these things in, you almost never get bored.

this is probably why you guys don't read my blog....i talk about boring shit WAAY to often.

all aboard, hit the road
all the bullshit can't be ignored
it's hard to place in my face
no emotion

keep it ninja like it's 1979

i'm so white that if i was in a snowstorm you'd lose me, and then a polarbear would eat me, and then i'd be dead. great job, jerk

they perprexed them.

so Trevor Moore is awesome.

today was pretty dumb. it was also sorta cool, cause i spent like 2 hours just taking off the dead skin off onions. THE ONION! i actually found one that looked like the onion's logo. it was pretty cool.

so i really should have had something to talk about, but i don't. i just wanted something else to be on my page.

so i've decided that i'm getting an xbox 360, cause that's pretty much all i need to survive. i also need a big tv, and like 6 games. that'll all come out of my $645 or whatever in the bank. i wish i had more.


what a jerk, right?

"viciously, and repetedly raped"

so spinning is fun, right?

alright, i'll stop wasting your time.

listen close
with your ear to the ground
as el diablo stirs
this place comes crashing down
(one two three four)
and though these evil ways
once renowned as straight out of hell
have been replaced by human will
THERE IS NO WAY OUT!

old lady goes NOM NOM NOM

weird day today. woke up, realized what i'd done the following night (am i a bad person?), felt really sick, had to start my project and then woke up at 1:05, ran to work (i was 20 minutes late) and then spaced out for the entire afternoon. there were great parts of work though. i'll explain:

so did you ever play Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or Majora's Mask? well then you've fought that annoying floating skull called a "bubble". know how it was always using extreme jaw movements when it came at you? well there was this old lady that came in the store, and off the bat she looked kinda weird, but then i looked a bit too long i guess, because she quickly turned her head toward me, and then moved moved her jaw up and down 3 times with her eyes REALLY wide. it was strange.

i also caught a crazy man laughing at fudge

and some guy asked if we sell dog food. i told him no, but it turns out we sorta do.

and of course people were coming to me all day asking for things that i didn't know the location of.

my tummy stopped hurting! yaaaaaaay.

i'mma go watch the office now, so fuck off

you will always be remembered,
you will be celebrated
you will never be forgotten,
these tears still haven't faded

Turnstiles make the world go round

LOL Turnstiles....

okay so i was at cloverdale today with my dad and the twins, and we went into EB games, and my dad was looking at the used stuff, and they've got used Xbox 360s for $130.... so i'm thinking that i'mma buy one, and get EA skate so that i can be forever happy. i'm not sure though..... i could get skate 1, or skate 2, but i dunno which one to get...

and mikey if you would be so kind, could you maybe list some games you think i may like, cause i dunno many.

HOLY SHIT, I CAN GET FABLE 2!!!
AND OBLIVION!!! AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!!!

i like having money. i can buy so many shirts now.

FLATLINERS WAS AWESOME!!!
actually i haven't gone yet, i've got like another 2 hours till i get there.

Today, i was home alone for 10 hours. i spent the whole time playing online games. FML

Today, my PSP stopped being able to see the downloaded games that i put on it. FML

Today, i spent my evening writing short sentences about my life that end with 3 letters. FML

these four wheels feel like home to me
enough of living broke at home, and bank robberies
these faces i see, and these fumes i breathe
proof enough that this is where i want to be
these photographs tell a story of their own
2 fists, white knuckles, and a microphone
these highway lines, these miles and miles
they breathe!

keep it ninja

what am i doing with my life?

seriously though.
i doubted myself again today. i woke up and thought "what if i shouldn't get into art? artists don't make a lot of money, and i don't know if i can survive by going from job to job constantly". i'd love to get into videogames, and just stay with one company, but most games nowadays are shoot-em-ups, and i can't draw people too hot. i mean if there was a really weird game based on my type of art, then sure, i'll make a shitload of money, but the fact is that would be a miracle, and doubtfully will ever happen.

if women should learn anything from "the little mermaid" it's that they shouldn't talk, cause guys just want to marry them if they're found on a beach with no clothes.

okay so i'm watching pretty much the worst movie ever made. it's cinderella, but with real people. the royal family is a black woman and a white man that have an asian son who loves a black cinderella who's step sisters are black, and white, and who's step mother is a ginger. .......um......

WHAT THE FUCK?

i really want to quit my job. closing is the worst. an upside is that there are some hot girls there.
WHAT'S THAT? IS THAT A TRANSITION I HEAR? INDEED, IT IS!
yeah so i'm lonely. unfortunately i've got very specific taste. then again that's a good thing, cause i don't want to end up with someone i hate. i mean this is a RELATIONSHIP we're talking about. I dunno about you, but that's sorta important to me. i'm just not sure who i'd really want to date. i'd be better off if everyone had a little thing above their heads that told me if they were avaliable, and if they like me. too bad my mind isn't reality.

man i wish things i thought came true. i'd be able to slow down time, and make things i want appear out of thin air. fuck that would be awesome.

oh man have you guys ever seen "Word Girl"? it's a kids show, but it's actually got some great humor. just watch it some day on TVO Kids. i dunno when it's on, but find out and watch. it's actually really funny, i promise. the only thing that sucks is that it's trying to teach kids words, so it's always saying the same shit, but it's still funny. and the animation is pretty awesome too.
that's what she looks like. her monkey's name is Captain Huggy Face. my favorite supervillain is "Chuck the Evil Sandwich making Guy". his secret lair is in his mother's basement......

hilarity ensues.

here's a clip
and another one
and a profile with some episodes or something

hey did you hear,
there's nothing to fear
the things that scared us now have stopped
and there's nothing hiding in the dark

Mo money, Mo WoW

i want to make a t-shirt that says that for sean.

SPEAKING OF WHICH:
"and psht who hates sean?
way to be LATE."
shut the fuck up ashley, use your brain. i made that post DAYS ago. take that little miss arrogant. jesus.
lol

by the way, you've probably read this:
Today, my grandpa told me he can still get aroused even though he is 84. Im 32 and have erectile dysfunction. FML
.....i'm not so concerned about the guy's ED, as i am concerned about his 84 year old grandpa telling him about his boner. what's with that? old people....

MIKEY READ MY OTHER POST LIKE I TOLD YOU TO 5742868 TIMES!!!!

so as we all know, i'm a ninja. in the time it took you to read that, i stole something from your room that you won't notice, but will need to defend yourself when i attack you from the shadows.

HOLY SHIT I SAW THIS REALLY TINY DOG TODAY! it' was on the way home from work. OH ANNNND today was the best day of work EVER!! all i did was put out the "fresh produce" mats, then prepare some parsley, and then the other 3 1/2 hours was skinning corn, then wrapping it, then break, then skinning corn, then cleaning the back, then leave. it was EPIC. soooooo easy. monday's going to suck though cause i'm on my own, and i've got no idea what to do for 5 whole hours without direction.

Perhaps it's because i don't play that game
that's bullshit to me
Perhaps it's because fake greetings from shitty friends
mean nothing to me

eblueterate them

i really wish people would stop hating eachother. where's the love? i mean i really don't like some people, but that's just cause i was never actually their friends, or they've been douchebags for a long amount of time, and just can't take a fucking hint. what i'm trying to say is that i want you to stop hating on sean. YES he's being stupid, but like i said before, he's been proven to have a uterus, and since he's half girl, his brother moving to Cali is depressing him, and he's just saaaaaaaaaad. look on the bright side: we're going to montreal, we're going to see the real deal for fucking $5, we're going to party it up to the max, and it's going to be wicked.

so as we all know, i'm obsessed with my psp, and so i'd like to share with you the future of my obsession: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10230257-17.html
i mean it's pretty dumb, cause i pretended i was holding it, and that would be awkward as shit to hold. your hand has to be soooooooo fucking wide, it's not even funny. i'll save you the time of reading the article too:
-there won't be any more UMD's, so that means all games need to be bought off the internet.
-there won't be a second analog stick, so there's no way i can ever play skate.
-you can buy one with either 8gb of internal memory, or 16gb. that's pretty awesome.

when we're a famous band, i really hope that we as members of the band will be recognized, like in greenday, or the beatles, instead of like blink 182, or sum 41. i don't know any of them. i think the way to go about doing that is to have nicknames. like in Mindless Self Indulgence, the lead singer is "Jimmy Urine", the guitarist is "Steve,Righ?" (yes, i spelt that right), the bassist's name is "Lyn-Z", and the drummer is "Kitty". same with the beatles (or at least Ringo Starr). i mean at least I want a nickname. OH also "flea" from Red Hot Chili Peppers.

by the way a little thing like that "so you got THE job" guy. this random guy walked past me at work after i'd watered the vegetables, and he was like "that's your favorite job, huh?". i smiled and sorta laughed, then thought "were you staring at me for an hour or something?

doctor's office?

that's all

can i have a little more?

clouds on a bike ride fast like the wind

i've decided to translate things that people say at work:

Lenard:
"see this display? i spent 2 hours setting this up"
Translation:
"i've got no life outside of this job, and nobody loves me"

Lenard:
"you're doing good! good man!"
Translation:
"The manager is there, but i actually hate you"

Mikey:
"look at all these bugs on this jar!"
Translation:
"i'm really high, and imagining things"

i don't get why, but both lenard, and joe have compared setting up the wet case to getting laid. it's pretty awkward. speaking of them (this isn't really too related) they both have those sick knives for cutting veggies and stuff, and i found out today that if i want one then they're going to take it out of my paycheck. it's only $5, but it's still money that i've gotta spend on them. and of course today Justin was a dumbass, and he decided to steal Lenard's knife, not expecting him to notice that something he spent money on was missing. retard.

this morning i was not thinking too good. i'm trying to find reason in my thoughts, but i can't. i was thinking "if quit now, i could tell my dad that i will eventually get another job, and then i can dye my hair green and be happy". of course now that i'm not stupid i see how awful a plan that was. if i quit my dad would be pissed, i'd never get another job, and i'd be complained to constantly for dying my hair.

i dun nao

i never tried that
