finally! some real snow!
Posted by Josh in Web Journal @ 5:15 pm

It’s been a crappy winter this year. Every day has been warm mostly. Rarely has it snowed, until today! woot.
and it’s about time! I hate having warm winters. I want them to be freezing icy cold, with snow all over the ground. The summers here in Kansas are way too hot for it not to be.

Fiddle Sticks. Deleted all my youtube videos :|
Posted by Josh in Web Journal @ 10:40 am

I was trying to delete one video from youtube, and some how ended up deleting them all.
I meant to check the box next to the video which was at the top, and I guess I checked the SELECT ALL BUTTON, which really didn’t seem to show that all were selected, and there weren’t any warning messages, so I can see how this easily happened. I did a simple google search on the issue and found that many others had it.

You’d think Google would do something to make sure this doesn’t happen ever. Such as have a popup box or something that says “ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU WANT TO DELETE ALL YOUR DAMN VIDEOS”. But nope, nothing. And now with one tiny click all mine are gone.

A lot of the videos on this site were hosted on youtube, so I’ll reupload them over time. I think I hosted many locally too (directly on the server) so those are fine. I might just upload them all to the site here.

I haven’t been up to much, just been playing Battlefield 3. I can’t get tired of this game as I easily can with others. I love it so damned much!

This is the video I was trying to upload yesterday when I accidentally deleted all my videos:

ha someone on our server got the LAV stuck, so we were just rocking it.

I’ve been trying to get into the Skyrim game, but I really just can’t get into it. I’ll keep trying, ha. I’m not sure how interested I am with the Skyrim type of games. I think it has wizards, fairies, quests, and the things im not too interested in. I can’t even stay awake through the entire first Lord Of The Rings movie (I’ve tried multiple times over the years). But almost everyone is saying how awesome Skyrim is, so I’ll eventually get into it if I keep trying.

I think I hate the UI of that game the most. I just got a mod for the game called SkyUI, which should fix it all up, we’ll see.

Today my Razer Nega Epic mouse should arrive. UPS site says its out for delivery. I cant wait! this will be my first real gaming mouse, and I’m just so damn excited. I’ll try to write a review on it, ha.
Even though it was designed really for MMO games (World of warcraft like games, which I don’t play), I think it’ll still do great with the games I play. It has 12 or so keys on the side for easy access. I can bind these to settings in BF3, Minecraft, and any other game I play. Might even come in handy in Photoshop and other programs I use.

I promise I wont make one of those lame and stupid UNBOXING videos. Seriously those are dumb! Smile with tongue out

Another new year!
Posted by Josh in Web Journal @ 3:17 pm

We’re having another new year. A lot of people seem to go crazy over these but I never really do. Just another day really.

What sucks though is that I was planning on going out tonight, and still might, but I dunno. I have a damn bad cold that proceeded a couple day flu, and it sucks so much. horrible way to end a year.
I’m not sure if I’d rather have the stomach flu that I had, or this cold. I think I’d chose to have the cold because at least I can sit up and not rush to the bathroom every 5 seconds.

I just took some dayquil,, and some 1200mg Mucinex DM – MS. I hope this does something. At least clear my throat where I don’t feel the constant urge to cough something up, which doesn’t come up, and makes me gag for a while.

Weird thing happen latest night, or this morning when I finally passed out. I took some Nyquil, which expires in 1 day (jan 2012 ha), its all I had so whatever. I kept waking up thinking my heart stopped. I was feeling so weird after taking that. I had to remind myself that I was still alive. I don’t think you can live much longer after your heart stopped. The stuff was just making me feel weird as hell. But I was able to pass out just fine. But it didn’t do much to help me feel better when I awoke. Throat is sore as heck.

So 2012 is coming in. This will most likely be my last 2011 post.
Like I said, I never really make a big fuss out of the new year, to me its just another day. But I am going to take advantage of this new year as a timing marker. for example, I am addicted to cappuccino, but I have a lactose intolerance, or something, and those really mess up my stomach. But I love them so much so I’ve over looked it, and kept drinking a lot of them for the past 10 years, even though I kept having stomach probablems, and gained a lot of weight, which I know is from drinking too many of them.

So I’m going to use the new year as an easier way to measure how long I haven’t had one to drink. It’ll be much easier to keep track of than a random date like June 12. So it isn’t a new years resolution, because I think those are dumb, but just a tracking type thing. I also have some other habits I want to overcome. I guess it is a resolution thing, I dunno. I don’t think so. I wont freely accept that I have a new years resolution.

Damn, I really did want to go out and do something tonight. oh well.

I started working on another site called OWXD. Odd World XD. If you want to check it out the address is www.OWXD.com , I think that I am going to start posting a lot of my non personal stuff on there. I dunno. I’ll probably just sell it like the rest of my domains/sites, but  its on shitty godaddy so I have to wait 60 days before I can transfer it to someone else, so I figured I’d work on it and give it a chance in the meantime.  I think I’m getting sick of this web stuff. I don’t really care or get excited as much as I used to.

I think one of the major things I hate about my cold is that I randomly get cold chills or hot flashes, but I had these with the flu too, so its going on about a week or so that I’ve been having this illness. So I should be about over it soon.

Oh yeah back to the new year. I know I’m jumping around here, but I write as I go, so nothing I say ever makes sense.
The best thing about 2011 I would say is Battlefield 3. The game is damn awesome, and I’m still so inlove with it.

I don’t think I change my look often. Actually, I think I had the same look I have now that I had for the past 10+ years. Maybe a lil chubbier and have less hair, but still basically the same. Anyways here are some recent pictures:

Meh, that picture is too normal, I couldn’t leave without a picture of me doing my usual weird stuff:

have a happy new year!

I’m not dead, just really limited net access right now via this touch pad (which you should get if you’re able to, I love mine!). 

I’ll think of something clever to post soon!

Living without the net actually isn’t all that bad :-P

Can’t stop playin Battlefield 3! Addicted!
Posted by Josh in Web Journal @ 4:55 pm

My live stats:
BF3 Stats

I haven’t been posting much on here during the past few weeks. I can’t seem to stop playing Battlefield 3. This game is simply amazing, and i am completely addicted to it, so I don’t have much time or care to do anything else but play it.
I copied this from South Park (changed the last part though Smile with tongue out), but I’ve been saying “I Don’t eat or sleep or mow the lawn, I just play BF3 all day long!”.. ha.

I can’t remember a time when I actually loved a video game, or anything in that matter as much as I do Battlefield 3. I LOVED Battlefield Bad Company 2, and played the crap out of it, as you can see on my BC2 stats page. But BF3 is something way more amazing.

Battlefield 3 takes everything I loved about BC2, such as the realistically paced game speed,  the amazing battlefield environment, team work, and purposeful feeling, and made it so much better, bigger, and even more epic.

The major thing I hate about games such as Modern Warfare and other Call Of Duty games is that there really isn’t any skill involved, you basically just run around shooting whatever, and getting kills, and being killed yourself. No tactical or strategic thinking is involved, and It’s not much fun. Bf3 is probably the opposite of MW3.

The graphics in Bf3 are simply amazing as well. It makes me feel like I used to feel back when I was a kid and would play with my toy action figures, it’s hard to explain really. Almost as if its like watching a interactive CG animated movie. It’s a really great experience.

Here are some screenshots I’ve taken of the game, mind you these are the best graphics, I allow Bf3 to adjust my graphic settings automatically, which it places everything on high, and 16xaa. So the graphics can look much better if you have a much more powerful GPU. I run it on a EVGA Geforce GTX 560 ti SC., which is just fine for me.

bf3 2011-11-02 13-05-08-64bf3 2011-11-03 01-12-25-88bf3 2011-11-12 20-07-58-65bf3 2011-11-13 16-26-59-11

I usually play the Support Class, because I’m such a bad that I miss so many targets, and with the a support class you usually get guns that can hold 200+ rounds in each magazine, so you have a lot of ammo to work with. But I’ve already unlocked everything in the Support Class, so I’ve started playing the Assault which is meh, okay. I really like how the weapons are way more accurate, and I can actually use my sights and target something across the distance and hit it, which you can’t really do easily with support.

Another cool thing about BF3 are the jets! But I’ve given up trying to master them. I play with them every now and then for the hell of it, but my Kill/Death ratio gets screwed up and negative when I attempt to pilot, so blah!

As you can see in the following video, I am not a very good jet pilot at all, ha.

blah blah, and some site updates…
Posted by Josh in Web Journal @ 9:58 pm

I’ve been doing some work on the main site. I noticed a problem where the photo pages didn’t’ display “next page” links imageat the bottom. So whoever was visiting the site were only shown one page.

This has been fixed, and you should now see “next” or “previous” links.

I’ve been taking a crap load of pictures lately of random crap, so its nice to have a way for people to actually view them all! Smile with tongue out

I’ve also changed the font on the entire site from the typewriter font looking to a more modern readable font. I need to practice with colors because maybe the main font is hard to read on some monitors.

I also changed the way the title info on each posts look, I hope its an improvement. Differences:
Before and after

and some other minor changes to the site.

Non site related…

I haven’t really been up to much. Still lookin for decent work, and blah! Finding work anymore is hell., Especially for a decent job, but I’m becoming so desperate lately I don’t really care what the job is.  In my free time I just mess with Minecraft, other games, Take random pictures and call it photography, and blah. Gets very boring.

I could probably make okay money designing stuff for others, but I’m really horrible at making stuff for others, and get very annoyed and frustrated. So I don’t really bother with that. Some have suggested that I should do photography for a living. I’m not even sure how to go about doing that. I don’t even think I’m that good at it. I just see stuff in life that looks cool, and I wanna take a photo of it. Not much different than kids being attracted to shiny objects.

I just heard this song today, and I like it

I plan on posting some of my minecraft creations soon ,ha.

Anyways I’ll write something again later.

Back to gold
Posted by Josh in Web Journal @ 3:26 pm

I have decided to switch the site back to the “black n gold” theme. which is my favorite, so some things on the site might not work or look right til I get the change completed. WOOT.

The layout is going to be the same as it is now though. I’ll have to manage both styles at the same time though so incase I ever want to switch back to the black and red.

Here is a comparison to help tell the difference:

I really love the life you see in these pictures. You have ladybugs, ants, and other bugs just going about life.

These ground/grass pictures actually look pretty nice together as wallpapers on my dual monitor set up.
