Where the Hell have I been!?

Hey Guys!
I been on a bit of an Hiatus with the blog for a bit sadly since I've been busy with work and life stuff.
Also I have been working on my Youtube Channel, my Google+ page, making new custom Lego minifigs, and some new film projects too!
I've decided to make my Google+ Page the main source of Film and Animation updates while here at the Bog will update on more personal matters and opinions on various things.

Until Next Time,
Later!

My Thoughts on Florida SuperCon 2012!

Last year I attended the Florida SuperCon for my first time.
Well this year on June 30th (last Saturday) I went to SuperCon once again!

Meeeeooow? Perhaps? ;3

This year I cosplayed as Cheshire Cat Grell (From Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji :Ciel in Wonderland).
The shirt,pants,gloves, and glasses from my Improved version of my Grell outfit I wore to Hurricon.
The shoes are new and are the ones I actually wore for the first time with my Modern Day Grell outfit to a meet up last month. The vest was from my very first Grell cosplay as was the Wig (with hair extensions).
My friend Becca (the Grell I met at the last SuperCon) actually gave me the Ears (made outta Sculpy with fur glued on), Tail (wired with fur over it), and Leg warmers (?). ^^

Anyway, I you wanna See and Read more about my experience at SuperCon and if it was even more "super" than last year, then ya better hit the "Read More" button.
Also you can See all the pictures here on My FaceBook Page .

I'm Baaaaaaack! :D

It's been quite some time since I've last updated the blog.
Well since Feburary, I haven't had my own computer... -.-
But thanks to my Dad who recently (a few days ago) got me a nice new laptop! :D
So I should be posting again (and more often hopefully) real soon.
Right now I'm just getting settled in and used to it since it's a bit different then what I'm used to.
But I'm adjusting.

Anyway it's good to be back and I am glad to be back. :)

Well talk to ya all later!

Only 3 more days...

...Till Soul Calibur 5 is released for the Xbox360 and the PS3!
I haven't been this excited for a weekday in like forever. :D
Seriously.

Also I am planing on doing my first video review for it too..so this year there will be a lot of new and exciting (well hopefully) things going on around here and the net.

Stay tuned! :)

Tale of Soul and Swords...Eternally retold! My First Tournament!

With today's tale being of my first time entering and competing in a
Soul Calibur 4 Online tournament.
You can watch my journey unfold in the videos below. Also is you want to see the whole tournament be sure to check out Punisher15 64's channel as he uploads the rest of the matches. Be sure to let 'em know AJV sent cha. ;) 





I was pretty nervous that I'd lose my first match and look terrible...but fate had other plans! 
Otherwise I'd have to say that for my first tournament, I did alright thankfully. Could've been much worse.. 
I don't take it personally but I was surprised that I was expected to be the absolute worst out of the other players. Though it seems I surprised them and I'm glad I lasted as long as I did. Had some great matches with IXI Kujo IXI ,Extremedarkvoid (a friend of mine actually),Xlan59 (the best match I had with IMHO), and Aion Strife.Some of my other friends where in it too, like TheWoncho and DeonIV. ^^

Overall it was a cool experience and I wouldn't mind doing it again sometime for Soul Calibur 5.

My First Time at Florida SuperCon 2011

Hi there,
You might remember a few months back that I had won Best Adult Celebrity Costume with my John Lennon (Beatles) outfit at the 1960's themed ComicStock with the prize of two tickets to Florida SuperCon.
 Well last Saturday (July 2) was finally it.

 Read more about my experience at SuperCon and find out if it really was "super". ;)
Also there will be more pictures after the jump and you can also check them out here at my Album on Facebook too if you like.

It's been 30 days since...

I started my fast from gaming for Lent 

(I explained it as best as I could here ).

So far I haven't really played any games
(except for I think once or twice but it wasn't at home).
  Guess I've done pretty well so far.
     Well, Ain't that swell! ; )
Surprisingly enough, I haven't really missed it too much,
though of course at times when I think about it I do kinda miss it.
 Maybe it's like that saying "Out of sight out of mind".
There's been a few times where I really just wanted to play some video games because I didn't know what to do with myself because I was too tired to do the other things that I like to do.

I think in a way it was good for me to stop for awhile and do other things with my spare time like customizing,drawing,watching TV, and stuff. Maybe I'll come to appreciate it more now that I've been off of it for so long and be a more moderate gamer (Yeah... I had gotten kinda addicted).

Oh yeah,
 Be sure to come back tomorrow (Friday) because I'll be posting something that's related to a certain
video game and an anime.

So see ya then! ;D

I'm so Fast that I'm Fasting

Hi There,

Some of ya might know that I'm a Christian (of the Catholic denomination) and because of that starting today is the season of Lent.
Basically back when Jesus was here, He went into the wilderness for 40 days and nights without food or water. While there the devil (being a jerk that he is) tried to tempt Jesus during that time.
Now as for what us Catholics do is sacrifice something that we really like during the next 40 days.
Like for example: Sweets,TV, and other stuff.

Well for what I'm fasting (sacrificing) this Lent is using my XBox.
I gotta admit, the idea of doing it at first was kinda depressing because it's something I like to do to unwind and most of my friends are on there so I'm gonna miss playing with them.
But that is the whole point of Lent though.
 Because I gotta show God that I love Him more then playing on my XBox.
Also I guess it'll be a test of will power.
 I'm gonna try my best with God's help.

So is there anyone else out there that might be fasting from something too?
Well even of you are or not, I'd to hear your thoughts too. ^_^

Maintenance...(Report Problems Here) Post

Well Hello Everyone!

As you can see, it's the Christmas Season!
So I redecorated my blog accordingly.
But while doing so I realized that the button for the Articles on the Navigation bar
wasn't working properly for some odd reason and it would bring me to the page saying nothing found
(or something) .
In order to fix it I had to re-tag (or add tags to) all my "articles" with "thoughts'.
Not sure why but at least now if you all ever want to read any of my past articles and don't want to go through pages of other stuff to get there, you can.

Also if you find anything that doesn't seems right or outta wack (?) just let me know in the comments section of this post...and if you can get a screen shot of the problem, it would help me better understand the problem.


Anyway that's it for now,
Hope to see you all real soon!
HohoHo!

*edit* Just updated the Archives page in case you're interested...

The Anti-Virus Fiasco

Yesterday when I went on to my computer and my anti-virus wanted to know if I wanted to go from 2009 to 2011. Of course I said yes.

So I download it and installed it.

When you install a new version of a program the old version is removed.

Well it removed my old version alright, but the new version never installed.

Because of this, I was left utterly defenseless. With no anti-virus I was left venerable to attack.

I tried to install it about 4 or 5 times to no avail.

That's when I called my Uncle (the computer wiz) and told him about my situation. 

I did a system restore, thinking that would solve the problem but it did not. 

So he gave me a drive with the original anti-virus program to install into the computer.

Thankfully that worked.

Hooray!

I can now continue on with my life. ;P

Just glad that fiasco is over...just hope I don't get another anytime soon. ^^;

*EDIT: It would appear I'm not the only one who's had AVG11 problems
Which my Uncle just brought to my attention. 

Back from the Doctor's Office

Today I went to the Eye Doctor to have my eyes examined.
Back when I was ten, I used to wear glasses but 5 years ago I stopped because they got too small and I was sick of almost every little kid and their parents thinking I was harry potter since I never really liked harry potter and having to explain to them that I was not got pretty old after a while.
Anyway, more about what happened today.
I had a really good doctor who told me that my eyes are healthy (yay!) and that Nintendo wasn't (entirely) the reason I had to start wearing glasses when I was ten, but it was family genetics. Funny since my Mom can a mile away while I can barely see far away. My Mom believed I had to start wearing glasses back then because my friends and I all played the N64 and we all had to get glasses after that. The doctor said that probably accelerated the Nearsightedness in my eyes at younger age though.
So I got my eyes checked out and I'll be getting my glasses in a week.
The best part, my insurance covered it all. Now that's what I call an early birthday present...since my birthday's tomorrow. So happy right now. :D  

Iron Man: Insert Title Here

You might wonder why I haven't said anything about the Iron Man 2 movie.
Well,that's because I was pretty disappointed
...since I still haven't seen it yet. But I plan to this weekend.
I am Totally Excited!:D
It also seems to be doing good a the box office. 

My Trip to Borders

This weekend I went to my local Borders book store for the first time.

When I first walked in it wasn't loud and noisy like my local Barnes and Noble, which is a plus in my book.
Then I went over to their Manga (Japanese Comics) section and I was blown away and it totally blew Barnes and Noble's Manga section away too!
They had so much to choose from and it was nicely displayed. They even had stuff I hadn't seen before like holographic note books with popular anime characters on 'em, and Pencil bags and sharpeners, and whole lotta other cool stuff.  I was almost in ecstasy trying to absorb all the awesomeness.
What's this got to do with Iron Man?
The whole reason I went there in the first place. That and a 40% off coupon.

.
So today I will be reviewing the Exclusive Borders two pack that comes with Mark IV Iron Man and Battle Damage Whiplash.

I'm Going Back to Church

The renovation of the church is finally finished and after a year or two we're out of the gym.
It's very nice looking and there is a little more room to sit (though we had to stand) but the basic layout of the church is basically the same as before except the took out some wall and expanded it.
They also took out all the carpet and replaced it with tile.
All and all it's good to finally be back in church instead of a gym.
Now if  only they could figure out how to solve the parking lot problem.

Above is a picture of the alter I took with my cell.

Everyone was excited and they were taking pictures too.

See ya Later!

What I did on Valentine's Day Weekend

Surprisingly it would seem I forgot to tell you all about it.

Well on the 13th, I worked with my Mom to do a Valentine's Day display in front of a hair salon by our local Publix shopping center in order to promote my Mom's Online Business: http://www.simplyvictorian.com/ where she sells Jewelry,Hair Accessories,Purses,Clothing, Lace Shirts (which could be good for those of you who cosplay or like steam punk,maybe even gothic lolita)and other stuff. The website is still a work in progress, but I'd love if you would check it out. ^^

Sadly, I was unable to get any pictures of myself in my "Romantic Outfit" that my Mom had me wear to showcase some of her clothing which consisted of a black jacket with a custom made crown & wings logo,a white ruffled cotton tuxedo shirt,black leather pants, and shoes (nothing special about them). I looked pretty good to say so myself.

Maybe when I wear it again I'll take (or have taken) some pictures and I'll show you all.
Talk to ya later. ; )

Aftermath of my Little Cousin's Birthday Bash

Sadly I can't tell you how the whole party went last night (though I heard it was good) since we (my mom and I) got there a little late because my mom lost her keys so we ended up searching for them everywhere for like 40 minutes.

You wouldn't believe where found them.
In my cousin's gift bag...-_-'
But thankfully we made it just in time for cake!:D
I got to see my family,see some of my friends I hadn't seen in a while,and meet some nice people.

After my older cousin got my uncle off the computer, My mom and I read my last blog post to Katie and to a few of her friends that stood by. It was really something from the heart and I think she really appreciated it.
Also, I think she liked that I gave her some publicity.
Don't worry, we gave her nice gifts too. : )
So all-in-all, I think I was a good night and I think she had a "Sweet" 16th Birthday.
Sniff, they grow up so fast...

My Little Cousin's Finally Growing Up

Well today's my little cousin's Sweet 16th Birthday and
Tonight will be a teenager's delight
She'll have a DJ,Disco,and Lights
There'll be singing and dancing all through night
Even Hannah Montana would be jealous
A party fit for a Queen, although she's only sixteen
She's rockin' n' rollin' and doin' her thing
She's singin' and priasin' the Lord at Flamingo Road Church or at her  Youtube Page
In the upcomming year American Idol awaits
But to leave Flamingo Road she'll dread what it takes!
Either way She'll do whatever God puts on her heart and she'll follow it as she has from the start
So now I'll end this poem with something that doesn't rhyme... Happy Birthday Katie!

Disclaimer: This post was not endoresed by Flamingo Road Church or by my little cousin, Katie.
Seriously

New Feature Added: "Read More" Button

Hi there,

Hope you've enjoyed reading my blog.
Some of you might have noticed that most of my post are considerably shorter than normal.

That's because I updated my blog's editing system and I started to use a new feature this month that allows me to shorten so my long post so they don't clutter the main page but by clicking the "read more" button allows you to see the whole post in it's entirety.

In the screenshot above, you can see a button that says "Read More" right?

Please click it! Pretty please with sugar on top! :)

You might even enjoy reading the rest of my post. -^^-

Thanks!

Thanks!

Freezing My Butt off in the Sunshine State

Believe it or not.
Most people come here to escape the cold weather from up North but it looks like is caught up with them. Truthfully I would have really like if it had been like this around Christmas instead of the heat we had.
<-No, that's not anywhere near where I live.
No snow where I live (to my disappointment),but it's still cold for my standards and many other people who live in this state too.
Not only that but it rained yesterday which made it even colder outside.
Over here it's normally hot or sometimes cool (like lower 70's or something).
Now whenever I go out I have to bulk up in clothing and by the time I'm done I look like an Eskimo (I have jacket with the fur in the hood) and I gain a few pounds with it all on.
I hate the heat but I don't exactly like the bitter cold either.
I would like a happy medium, please.
Though I've enjoyed having the Hot Chocolate and other warn delights. :D
That and Also my long hair for keeping my head warm. :P
Anyhow, it's starting to warm up a little (now in the 40's) and it's supposed into the 60's tomorrow. Yay!

Talk to ya later! :)
