Okay, I haven't blogged in a while and people know that when i tend to blog on this site it's to bitch, and believe me its coming, but for now let me put some advice out there for all the newer users, or hell for the older users who are just starting to get into the idea of uploading.

  Don't quote me on the numbers, but I'm guessing this site gets at least a thousand uploads a day (not including single pictures, and galleries).  It is WAY too much work for the mods of the site to go through all the uploads everyday and make sure that something hasn't already been posted.  Sometimes they catch them, sometimes they don't.

  Which brings me to features, and getting featured.  Understand something (and in this I mean anyone who has never really uploaded, or any noobs to the site reading this for the first time)  You could have found the most amazing video ever discovered.  Jesus Himself would come back from the dead for a second resurrection just to see this video, but if you've onl ...

Foreward

 

  If this were a movie, the script would read something like this;

 

Opening set, empty playground.  A haunting string melody scrapes the audio track.  Lazy pan in to see a male teenager sitting on the swings.  The time is 8:30am and there is just a hint of the oncoming sunrise washing the ground in a surreal reddish orange haze.  The youth's body is hunched over, although he is motionless in the swing itself it's easy to see from the tension in his position that great things roil within him.  His stare is toward the trees across the way where the leaves look red in the gathering sunlight.

 

  Okay maybe not, but it would make an interesting ... Read more ...

Personal Essay: Falthor Longhand

 

  Its interesting how the world reveals itself to those who are in it.  Theres a construction worker who is hard at work hammering away at the cement sidewalk with his jackhammer, there is the teacher standing at his pulpit leaning down over his students as he decrees his mind to them.  Then There is the writer, The writer who sits at the keyboard and types himself into perfect oblivion, if only for a short time.  Through his characters and stories the writer transports all of himself through to another world in which his is the character or vice versa, the doorway is there for anyone to use, it stands open, and inviting.  Anyone can enter, if they have the determination to try hard, and the will to step through into the world of the imagined.

 

  A game on the internet, a required persona to be created, and the birth of a new life.  But for want of a nam ... Read more ...

  Do you know that feeling?  You know...  That feeling you get when you know you've had a good workout.

  You're not sore, but tired.  Youre not tight yet, the muscle is actually loose and a little unresponsive.  You're not cramping, and you just have that hyper awareness about yourself.  You know what it is you've been doing, and everything looks better.

  I've missed that feeling a lot.  6 months due to the afore mentioned stray needle incident (see my last blog) that I couldn't return to Wrestling school and get a good workout, and seeing that money was the way it was I didn't have a gym membership anymore even if I could have found the time to get there.  Right now I can feel that lax looseness in my shoulders and Chest, and I know that I'm in trouble because tomorrow I will likely get the tight ripping pain that comes with a really truly good workout, and I have a transport truck to help upload tomorrow.

  So be it.  It was more then worth it. 

  This whole 6 months I've be ... Read more ...

  Okay I know you guys pretty much all know I work in Windows and Doors for the local re-seller of Andersen Windows and doors.  Ive worked almost my entire work history and career in Retail, for whatever reason Im actually very good at dealing with people and helping them out, even if I hate every second of it usually.

 

  One of my biggest pet peeves is people who dont listen to you when you tell them something.  God knows its my job to make sure you get the message, but if you come in and say, order and window, and we tell you it should be in around the 15th of April well call you when it gets here, I think that sends a pretty straight forward message dont you?

 

  It means that your window will be here, at the earliest on the 15th of April.  If not I will likely call you on the 15th to tell you that your window is not here, and that I will be in touch when it comes in.  Once again I would assume tha ... Read more ...
