I saw this guy in concert yesterday night at Rutgers University. Also saw his documentary 1040. It was the most awesome documentary I've ever seen. Really powerful, check it out at 1040movie.com.
Times are changing, man...
Okay yeah I've been away for a while. I really haven't bothered to update this site because as far as I am concerned, it's dead. Probably come here to watch Ultrakids but that's about it (speaking of which, I want to upgrade to Vimeo...)
Anyways, been working towards publishing my book. I'm currently setting up a new website for the book and will post it here as soon as it's done.
Hey guys, just finished editing a new video yesterday. It's called Kid Ninja Seven, and I have to admit: it looks really good. Lots of special effects (primarily me throwing fireballs). Filmed it yesterday with my brother Tim and my sister Katie. We got some pretty decent choreography as well.
I'm going to post the thing as soon as I can, which should be around tomorrow, so stayed tuned.
For the past two weeks, I've written about 20,000 words of my novel. It was pretty easy, I had the plot laid out and knew where I was going.
Until last Monday.
That was when I hit a bump on the road. It was no ordinary bump. It was about the size of...the earth. The only way to get around it was to go all the way back to the beginning and restart.
Some people call it Writer's Block. I call it the Cow in a Ventilation Duct. Because it's a lot funnier than just saying "I have writer's block." Instead, you can say, "I have a cow in my ventilation duct."
Some people will tell you that there's no such thing as a cow in a ventilation duct. Well, yes, there is no such thing as that...until you see it for yourself.
You know the cow needs to be remooved. So you pull on its tail and tug. After three hours of tugging, the cow is now one complete centimeter further out of the duct than it was three hours ago.
There's no easy way to remoove the cow. The only other solution is to just destroy the duct. Of course, that will defeat the purpose of writing and will just give you even more work.
So here I am, staring at this cow who's mooing hysterically at me, wanting to be remooved. I'm tired. I don't want to. But I have to sooner or later or this book will never come out.
Yeah, that's all I gotta say.
After days of strenuous labor and toil, the new Ultrakids website is finished! Yes! Finally! All my hard work paid off so you visitors may have a more fulfilled experience whenever you visit this site. You won't believe how much work went into the new site...hours and hours for days after days of hard work...
Actually, I just clicked a button and changed the whole thing in about two seconds. Anyway, what do you think? I think it looks pretty cool. A more dramatic look; fitting for epic tales like those of the Ultrakids...well, not really.
Enjoy!
Hey guys, what do you think of this website design? Do you think it's good, or that it needs to be changed?
I'm using Weebly to create this website, and changing the design would be as easy as a click of a mouse button. So it's not like changin' the design would be a lot of work.
Yesterday night, I was hit with a big idea. Right in the nose.
Today, I woke up around 8 o' clock and typed a quick outline of it. And it looks really exciting. Really, really exciting.
(right now, someone sitting next to me is suggesting that I write juicy after every noun. Like 'a juicy big idea.')(I'm not doing it)
What could it be, you wonder? And why are you not writing your book and making your next movie, which, by the way, you are supposed to be showing a lil' bit of it in APRIL, mister Juicy Josh!
(by the way, yes...here's another off-topic parenthesis, my Sunday School class nicknamed Juicy Josh when I was...I dunno, 7? Eight years ago and I still remember. "sob" Look at this mental scar my fellow classmates have placed upon me! Oh, is this a parenthesis?)
Oh shoot, it's 7:02. Young Seekers is beginning. Right in the middle of blogging. Maybe I'll save this as a draft.
Okay, I'm back. It is no longer Friday, it is now...(checks calendar)...Tuesday.
What was I talkin' 'bout? Oh yeah, big idea.
Well, stay tuned! Maybe it IS the big idea that I'm going to show in April! Oooh...
This has to be the worst blog post ever.
I've been working on a children's book for the past few days. What? You haven't been working on your new movie and skipping out for a kid's book?!? Yeah...and no.
Also been taking a course in Flash. Y'know, Flash, the program that makes some of those cheap lil' cartoons on TV. And the internet. But the internet is for free. Most of the time, I think.
So what's this book thing? Well, I've been trying to do something kinda like Goosebumps. Y'know, scary kids stories. The thing is I've never read a single Goosebumps book in my life because those covers freak me out. There was one with a palish blue skull with hair and eyeballs coming out of a pond...I wanted to go down that aisle in the library but couldn't get past that picture.
But anyway, I'm trying to write my own. I know what you're thinking: how can I write a scary story when I myself am scared of them?
Well, I've been trying to make it scary (and tested it out on some of my friends. Couple of 'em got scared). But It's actually been fun describing the wacky monsters and building suspense. After all, "ahem", there is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Anyway, what kinda scary are we talking 'bout here? There's violent scary, predominant in most scary stories. But it usually deals with the character dying a horrible death, which I'm not that fond of. Maybe sacrificing their life for the friends but no pointless dying. Makes horrible endings.
There's physical scary, which is why we're scared of Frankenstein and werewolves even if they're idiotically just standing there.
And there's suspense scary. Yeah, I heard Goosebumps use this kind.
Oh, here's a thought: if you had a scary creature described to you in a book but there was no illustration of the beast, would it be as scary?
I think an illustration would kill the scariness because it would just creep you out every time you look at it. Don't you hate it when there's a freaky illustration in a book and you're afraid to read it in fear that you'll come upon that picture? Yeah.
I think it would be more fun if you just read and imagine it. Which wouldn't been as scary but more fun.
So I'm going with physical scary. With no illustrations. Which isn't that scary. Unless you draw it.
Oh, and throw in a bit of that suspense scary for extra zing.
I'll probably post a portion of it some day on this blog...so stay tuned.
Gotta get back to my movie!
Ninety.
Ninety.
Ninety.
...
You heard me right. Ninety.
Ninety people visited the site yesterday. That's like...(95, 96, 97,...) almost one hundred!
So have fun, join the forums, comment on the bios, whatever. Oh yeah, forgot to point that out. We have a new Bios section where you can read all about the Ultrakids characters. It's a little something I wrote in 2007 for Ultrakids 2. I didn't know why I wrote it back then; it just seemed like a good thing to do.
And now the present. Need a bios section? Walah! Done! Convenient, huh?
By the way, please alert me if there are in misspellings in this blog. It's not that I'm a bad speller; it's just that if I don't know exactly how to spell a word, I sound it out. Then usually this dotty red line appears under the word, telling me I didn't sound it out quite right (right now there's a dotty red line under 'bios' and 'Walah!' Dotty red line...I like that phrase...)
Of course, some posts back I typed 'okay.' Huh? There goes that dotty red line again. Except that okay is a real word. At least, I'm pretty sure...o...k...a...y...yep, pretty sure.
So I right-clicked on 'okay' to find out what the all-knowing powerful spell checker wanted to correct me on.
'click'
'box popping up noise'
...
Tokay.
What the heck is Tokay? Maybe it's 'too okay' combined.
Anyway, this rusty-trusty spell checker isn't too reliable I think. Unless Tokay is a word. Which I'm going to find out soon. But not now. I'm blogging right now. Duh.
I think I'm getting that hang on this blog. I just wrote I don't know how many words about a spell checker.
