More comic awesomeness

There’s more in my flickr…sweet!
Comic-Con San Diego 2008
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudddde.
My first time at comic-con and the rest of my time spent in San Diego was a-MAY-zing. There’s much to tell, and I’d have to write a friggin novel if I were to tell it all here, but here are some of the highlights:
- I bumped into a few online friends on accident, it was actually my first time meeting them in person.
- My friend, Pris, and I was interviewed at con and we ended up watching ourselves on the news later that night on ABC.
- I managed to buy my Dexter bobble head.
- Video Games Live was kickass.
and much more.
Basically, the whole energy that weekend was so alive and positive, and it’s such a shame that it had to end so quickly. I’m already looking forward to next year.
So yeah I have some photos to share here, there are more in my flickr. There’s actually a TON of more photos I haven’t uploaded yet (I haven’t received the photos from my friend’s camera yet), but hopefully I’ll get that finish soon.
OFF TO…
Finally. It’s here.
I’ll be back, hopefully with some awesome stories to tell and pictures to show.
Bye lovelies 
I want to be the Joker when I grow up
With all of the hype that’s coming from Batman: The Dark Knight, and the fact that the Joker’s makeup in the film was so fucking brilliant, I was inspired to photoshop myself into the Joker, played by Heath Ledger.
From looking at the rest of my work, it’s an alright transformation, definitely not as convincing as my zombie photo though.
Photoshop, oh photoshop…oh how I love thee!
Blurbs
Oh shit I’m going to Comic-Con in a week! Oh shiEeeYUT! Remember how I mentioned I was going to dress up like one of those Tokidoki chicks? I might not be able to. I’m still not sure what to use to draw in the tattoos with, which is the only dilemma I have to deal with.
When I’m there in San Diego I’m also going to be attending Video Games Lives. There’s this orchestra that performs in front of a screen, showing video game footages (new and old) and they basically start playing video game music that is corresponding to whatever is playing on the screen.
In fact, here’s a video of one of their concerts:
I am so thrilled about all of this, and it’s going to be my little vacation from looking for work all the time as an actor, hence my lack of update on this site.
I did not get cast for that one commercial I talked about previously, and if you’re curious as to what company the commercials going to be on, it’s AT&T. Yeah, ouch, but you move on and you learn from it right? Though I think I might’ve landed a spot for a different commercial- I’ll know for sure by Sunday.
With acting, there are times where I’m thinking “Shit, what am I getting myself into?” It’s tough especially when you’re jobless and you’re always driving an hour to Hollywood, but I’m going to keep on truckin and hopefully I’m be able to make ends meet.
I HAVE TO HAVE IT!
I’m still—very much—concerned about the last incident that happen and my job in general. To get my mind off of every bad thing that has been affiliated with my job, I’m going to write about some items that I really really want. When I usually think about the stuff that I want to shop for, the stress seems to disperse and then everything becomes peachy keen…for a moment of course.
Ok so here’s my list of I HAVE TO HAVE IT!
Dexter bobblehead
If you’ve been following my blog lately, you shouldn’t be surprise that I’m a huge fan of the TV show, Dexter (future post). I want every damn driver and pedestrian to notice the magnificence of my Dexter bobblehead and be familiar with the fact that I’m a huge fan of that show. I guess I have that mentality of a sports fanatic who pimps their ride with tacky sports logo (flags, abnormally large bumper stickers, etc) representing their favorite team. I don’t have a favorite sports team, however I do have a favorite TV show! Why not sport your favorite show on your own ride as well? I want to be in the loop!
Leg lamp
I love (leg) lamp. I have mentioned, on one of my earlier entries, about redecorating my bedroom. As time changes, people do. I’m not into the whole 80’s brightly colored childish rooms anymore. I want something that screams artsy fartsy, morose and slightly sexual. I thought about it, and the traditional classic film A Christmas Story automatically took a dump on my head. Remember that leg lamp in the film that was purchased by the dad, who was totally getting off on it? Yeah, that one…I want that one, but I assure you I won’t be doing outlandish kinky things with it. The leg lamp will surely add a nice touch to the room once the revamping is final.
Anything studded
For a couple months, I’ve been infatuated with anything that’s laden with studs. If you’re wearing an outfit that’s really boring and basic, a studded bag or a pair of studded shoes will undeniably make your whole outfit look 10x better.
Keyboard typing pants
…
I keed, I keed.
Video game that shat my pants
Why is that I have this sick borderline obsession with horror movies (well the good ones at least) yet I can’t for the life of me finish a survival horror video game?
I’m telling you, man, give me the scariest movie out there and some buttered popcorn, and I’ll have an easy time going to bed after watching it. But give me Resident Evil or Silent Hill to play, I’d be shitting and pissing my pants at the same time within the first minute of playing it.
Yeah, so I admit, I’m a baby. But one of the things that I favor about myself is that I’m always trying to face my fears so that the fear I am confronting could hopefully be no longer a fear!
So a little while ago, I decided to man up and buy myself a game called Dementium: The Ward. It’s a first person shooter type of thing, and as far as I know, there’s this guy (me) that finds himself in a disgusting abandoned hospital where most of the walls and floors are riddled with blood. He tries to go room to room to search for any kind of clues to unlock the mysteries of the hospital, while killing any frightening looking zombie-ish creatures that tries to pop out and attack him.
Yeah it’s a pretty mind-fucked game. When I try to play it, my heart feels like it’s hammering out my chest and every part of my muscle starts to become tense. I can only play one minute a day of it, literally. There’s not much signs of improvement yet…this kind of stuff takes time to adjust.
So I recorded a quick video of myself playing Dementium just to satisfy some curious minds on what the game is like.
Dare to press play?
We would like to play the Wii Pole
Alright, it’s official, the Wii owns every other game console out there in the universe. Video games, in a nutshell, are fun-there’s no doubt about that, but they’re notorious for causing severe inactivity and weight gains. To avoid potential health problems, we cannot simply reduce the amount of game time, as some of us tend to mix up “a few more minutes” for a “a few more hours.” If we can’t get away from the problem then what do we do? We channel it to something good, we channel it to the Wii Fit! Word on the streets says they’re already sold out too just after one week of releasing it. 
It’s an actual game that involves actual bodily activity. It comes with the Wii Balance Board which functions as your handy dandy controller and personal scale. My only concern is that the board is white, pure white. Can you possibly imagine the countless numbers of filthy looking footprints that are going to be attacking that thing by the end of the month? Gross.
Yeah it’s kind of like DDR, except you don’t have to move in retarded-like motions and the game offers a range of activities that’ll help you get into better shape activities such as yoga, snowboarding, stretching, jogging, et cetera.
I don’t own one yet, but I think I’d purchase one in a heartbeat if pole dancing were one of Wii Fit’s fun-filled physical activities. I mean-what better way to enhance your upper body strength in a creative way than a good ol’ pole dancing lesson?
Pole dancing could be an extension of Wii Fit, given that it might get in the way of other activities (parents might not be too happy about watching their little girls swinging around poles either). You can separately purchase a pole, a Wii Pole, if you will, and somehow have it join to the Wii Balance Board.
And wallah! You have something like this:
Hmm…I think we might be on to something here.
Update 5/27: Oy vey! Look what I found Wii Pole Dancing Game
Say hello to your tokidoki girl
A friend and I had a nice conversation at a frozen yogurt bar last night and discussed our attire for this year’s Comic Con.
I don’t know about her yet, but I’ve decided that I’m going to dress up for the convention as… a Tokidoki girl! Oh the excitement! Oh the thrills!
I can’t wait to change my hair. I can’t wait to wear make up. I can’t wait to draw fake Tokidoki tattoo sleeves on my arms and back. I can’t wait to show off their accessories. And I’m totally oogling like a typical teenage girl!
I’m not entirely sure what I should wear and how I want my hair to look like (for those that know me, you know I’m definitely not afraid to cut and dye my hair every month or so!) , if you have any suggestions please send them in.
This is off topic but it’s my little reminder for those who like what I like: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Capsian, the movie, is going to hit the theaters this friday the 16th. Whoa COW! You bet your ass I’ll be at the movies chowing down on my popcorn. So buy them tickets.
Anyways, on topic:
Tokidoki! <3
The Renaissance Faire
I don’t have much to write for today, only posted pictures that I took at the Renaissance Pleasure Fair in Irwindale. All in all, I had too much fun and ate waay too much.
Enjoy the photos! You can find a few more on my flickr.
You might recognize these guys…
