Vs. Good Tidings

Merry Christmas, everyone! Been a little busy with the holidays, my move back to Ontario, and my new niece! There will be updates with pics soon!
Hope everyone is doing great- Between driving up to see my family, and getting stuck working on both xmas and new years, I've been a busy guy, so please forgive me if I haven't been great at keeping in touch lately. Feel free to call me and say hi, though!

Vs. Virtual Polar Bears

Hmm. Very long shift at work today, and now I seem to be lost. Anyone care to help?

What did one snowman say to the other snowman? Freeze.

public communications from other agents, but keep an eye on the threat matrix to see who can be trusted. Don't want the Others taking you during the night, do you?

what is a bolide? (you see one if you enter the numbers at OWA right now)

"With Helen dead and Locke in a wheelchair we must assume that JL will have nothing to lose. His keen intellect will prove worthwhile to the experiment, but his tendency to go off on his own could be troublesome." - Gerald DeGroot

We shot different versions for each station. The portion spliced into the swan was from a different lab. We needed to cut the same portion out of all of the films after the incident. That is why I look different and why the splice will work at any lab. If you can please destroy that splice and the bible it was hidden in I would be most appreciative.

Agent 6****** aka Turner,
The battle of misinformation is heating up.  You must help me spread
the word about the evils of Alvar Hanso.  Let me tell you a little
story...

+++
The year was 1987 and I was in my Zanzibar lab working feverishly to
bring an orangutan named Joop out of a coma after Alvar had insisted that
we attempt a new procedure without first tying it on one of the kirk's
red colobus test monkeys.

I was luckily able to bring Joop's vitals to stable before Alvar went
crazy and started running J9 queries on the few human subjects we had in
the lab.  Three subjects went into immediate cardiac arrest and the
Mullen test subject's skin burst wide open.

I was able to hit the emergency power switch to stop the processes, but
it was too late; all of the human subjects perished.  Alvar was trying
to speed up the process to get an increase in our funding and he wasn't
going to let anyone get in his way.

Alvar was furious when he realized I had stopped the procedures.  He
went to the cupboard and got one of the dart guns and shot me in the arm
with a dose of snake venom.  He set fire to the lab and left me for
dead.
+++

That was many years ago and thankfully Joop is still alive to this day.
Unfortunately Alvar is looking to restart his experiments and I think
he may have already started.

That is why we must get the word out that Alvar Hanso is evil.  I have
declassified this correspondence so that you can spread it far and
wide.  Post it to as many locations in the internet as possible and please
help to recruit more agents so we can find out where Alvar's new lab is
and stop him.

I am still in hiding. Keep me in your thoughts.

Vs. Animatronic Pirates

"When Pirate of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists!" -Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park

Too much drama this week. Here's a break with news about a refurbishment of Pirates, which would add Captain Jack.

This one sounds like a completely different ride, though- http://www.jimhillmedia.com/mb/articles/showarticle.php?ID=1263
Here's some other links to read up about it-

Vs. Blog

haha... so yeah, I keep avoiding writing new entries... I want to keep it up, I want to express myself, but I really have trouble communicating the things that are upsetting me. Jennifer is gone, and I want to talk to her and I want to fix it, but I can't because I get too upset to call her. Sad, isn't it? I don't want to lose a friend because I'm scared. She came back into my life at a very hard time for me... I feel awful that she's had to deal with so much from me. I wish I could show her how much she means to me, and how much I would do for her if she ever just asked. I don't know why I can't get along with anyone still. I've been trying to talk to people more, but it's still hard. I still don't know if I should see a shrink. I don't want to. I got a birthday present in the mail today- it took forever!!! Rachel got me a shirt from www.piratemod.com I think I could get a portion of my wardrobe from that site... haha. Black shirts with skulls on them feel right. I got lunch with Phil the other day... We're both feeling stagnant. Neither of us is going the direction we want to with our lives... I keep trying to talk him into finding a game design school with me, but he's on a military kick again. I'd rather he not get killed, though. One of my biggest problems is that there are parts of my life I haven't been able to let go of... There's always some reason, some excuse that I keep people around longer than I should, and it keeps me from really being happy. I'm tying up my loose ends and giving myself about a month to really change things. Maybe this will really help me.

Vs. Psychosis

So, I haven't been posting lately, because I've been through some really rough times lately- things that have really rested me emotionally and psychologically. I failed the test. In the last couple weeks, I've withdrawn further into my anti-social behavior, only really talking to people online or when I have to, and getting into very pointless fights with most of my friends. It's good times. I think things are settling down now, though, and I'm considering seeing a shrink, but I really don't think that will do me much good, because I really hate talking about my problems- it just makes me worse. I even avoid talking directly about things on my mostly unknown blog. What an emotard.
Oh, I did do one good dead and bought a T shirt for a good cause:

Fight the Flood... Halo... Get it? heh. I hate watching the news and seeing more of the brutal part of human nature. 9/11 pulled people together for a short time, but when things happen now, it feels like it only pulls people further apart. That, or I'm looking at things very negatively. Probably a little of both.
I hope I get off my ass and use this angst to do something creative soon. Also, I'm applying for the DGA training program again this year. Maybe I won't blow it this time.

Vs. Heroism

I always hold myself to much higher standards than I let on to anyone. Even as I slay the undead, and try to do what's right, lately, it's all too much. It's all getting too hard, and I want to just run away, and stop being the good guy, stop saving everyone, stop apologizing every time someone doesn't like what I say. It's all getting really hard and I'm not sure how much longer I can do this. It's the little thank yous that seem to keep me going.

Vs. Camera Lens

Which pic should I use for my profile on here?
*additional*
Batman Begins is out on DVD Oct 18th!
It's already on my amazon list.

Vs. Matrimony

Alright, so my brother's wedding was this last weekend. It was very odd, it was quite a party, and I had many fathers foisting their daughters upon me, and a couple proposals- those helped my ego, but they aren't the odd part. My folks were very nervous and drank with the rest of my family... This left me the only one sober enough to take care of everyone and take charge of the wedding. I wasn't very good at it, cause I'm no wedding planner, but it seemed to all work out, everyone had a blast, and I felt much better about who I am at that paticular point. Most of my friends don't see it, but I'm actually rather harsh on myself, and very very shy. I wasn't so bad this weekend.
I'm on vacation now, so I'll be fixing my laptop, and not much else. I put up an away message on yahoo saying I was lonely, and that was a mistake, because I started getting people wanting to see me, and it turns out I didn't actually want that. haha. I need something else to fill my time besides movies, friends, and my xbox. Perhaps I'll go to that trainer in NoHo for Batman training! Or, if I can find a way to make it a regular thing with Phil, maybe I'll get into paintball or something. Justina was telling me about a fencing place here in town, but I'd really have to get back into shape and have some money before I could do that again (I break a lot of sabers) Anyway, I'm on vacation if anyone wants to call and say hi. I'm going to a The Used concert this weekend, I'll probably do something for my birthday, and I'm going back to the dentist for my permanent crowns next Tuesday. I guess those will keep me busy.
Oh, crap- I messed up the format on here- why won't the columns peacefully coexist? I need to start adding pics, too. There's something else to keep me busy. haha. Well, that and Jenn got an xbox, maybe she'll play online with me soon. Hope everyone is having a great summer.
*additional*
Nevermind, the format just didn't like my work computer's resolution, I guess.
Also, here's a fun link for the day:

Vs. Anonymity

So, the audition went pretty well last weekend... And my audition did make it to air. For about a 30th of a second. hee hee. I'm glad I went out and tried, though... I do have fun doing it. There were about 350 guys trying out when I left, and there was still an hour to go! Most were nerds, some appeared to be out of work actors who were much better looking than me. I read about 90 seconds of copy... One of the regular cheesy news stories from the show, and I think I did pretty well. I started getting nervous and reading a little fast, but I caught myself, and improvised out of it a little. I haven't heard anything, but they are still holding open casting calls in 2 other cities, so who knows. I will be applying again this year for the director's guild assistant director training program, so I've still got that goin for me! :) I'm really getting more ambitious lately, because I really want to be able to take care of myself a little better so I can have a family one of these days. That brings up some drama I'm not ready to talk about. Even on my blog that hardly anyone knows about. God, I'm lame.

Still alive.

I have a lot to talk about, but I guess I haven't been ready to sit down and talk about it. I guess I will start updating this regularly soon, since I have a lot more spare time lately.
I will be updating sometime this week, after my audition for Attack of the Show, and getting measured for my best man tux!

*edit* Going to the casting call in an hour or two, here at work- wish me luck!
