| BOaC Season Two Coming Soon. . .As I informed all of you in my last post I had lost all of everything that had to do with the BlogCast. So I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to reformat and relaunch it. I have found that way, for the rest of the week and into the weekend I will be working on reformatting and putting back together BOaC for a second season complete with a new intro, outro, music as well as new features. Sadly though it wont be premiering on this blog. If you want to be updated with everything going on with the BlogCast all the way up to, and past, the July 21 launch direct yourselves to the new blog. That's all I have to say, the rest of the info will be in the first post, make sure you go there and check it out, try out all the links for me and then keep posted for new updates, sneak peaks, as well as some promos and teasers. | | |
| Coming up for airOK so I finally got back to my blog. I'm still neglecting my facebook, myyearbook, and myspace, but at least I got back to the blog.
I've gotten everything put together, there is still some stuff that needs to be shifted around but that can wait. I still need to have a yard sale. I've been putting that off for two weeks. I don't have any tables and I need to put up more signs. I also have to sort though and price everything. Fun times.
I have the car. Its a great little vehicle, good on gas, we have it all cleaned up and all that fun stuff. The only problem is that I have a problem with the brakes. More on that when I know more on that.
Time for some good news. I got a new laptop. Its a really fancy Toshiba laptop. Its got good specs and everything. I can play Oblivion on it. And that's why I've been neglecting the blog and all of that stuff recently.
And now for the bad news, when I transfered files from the old laptop to this new one I either forgot to back it up and transfer it or there was some data loss. Either way I've lost everything that has to do with my BlogCast. All of my previous shows, all of my promos, intros, outros, and all of that fun shit. That also means that I lost anything that was a WIP at the time of the data transfer. I lost BlogCast 14 because of some technical difficulties and had to trash it before my vacation. And I was working on the interview with Tee Morris while I was on vacation. I had it all ready to roll out by the time I got back but I realized that I did not have the files anymore. That is really dissapointing. Very dissapointing, my interview with him was very epic. Hopefully I will be able to sit down with him again and record another interview.
And more bad news, I had to give back my camera the week I got back from vacation. Throwing a car into the equation was too much and meant that something had to be taken out of the equation. Simply put, my livelyhood and The Girlfriend Lady's livelyhood comes before making YouTube videos. So the camera went back, I wont be able to make anymore videos but I have plenty stockpiled that I never got around to put up. Maybe after I get a job I can try again.
Moving onto a lighter subject, I've decided to change formats. I decided to do a movie review segment. There are so many good summer movies and I'll hopefully be able to see a good number of them. Last week I saw "You don't mess with the Zohan and today I saw Hancock. I'll review the both of those shortly, hopefully tonight. But thats if I dont get sucked back into Oblivion tonight. I'm going to plan out the format and fabricate some graphics and we'll see how it goes. Thats about it for now.

| I have returnedWell, I'm back. Actually I've been back since Sunday, but I've been busy. I'll start at the very beginning of whats been going on.
The plan was that I was supposed to leave on Thursday, get to the town my grandmother lives in, and get my car, then that day, or the next day I was supposed to take my car across the Wabash River and get it registered and get plates for it so that I could drive it back home on Sunday while going to my brothers' wedding on Saturday.
Here is what actually happened:
My dad sets out on his journey with my sister in tow. They get about 100 miles away from Dallas and my dad breaks a valve spring and has to wait overnight for a places to open so he can take his vehicle to the shop and repair it. He does so and then starts out again, gets about 500 miles before he bends a push rod and is stranded over night yet again. So lather rinse and repeat and he is back on the road on Saturday, and arrives here by Saturday afternoon. Upon which time my father, The Girlfriend Lady, and myself unload the U-Haul trailer affixed to the back of his motor vehicle that contains my entire life from when I lived in Texas. While this was going on my sister played with kittens and visited with my grandmother. After cramming everything that I had amassed in my 20 years on this earth into my sleeping quarters we hit the road our heading being towards Martinsville. It was there that we got a two room suite at a motel for the same price as a single room with two beds simply because the recent flood damaged many rooms.
After we were all in our respective rooms; my sister, father, Girlfriend Lady, and myself in one room; and my half brother that was not getting married and his lady in theirs, we all prepared for a night out on the town. And when I say night out on the town I mean playing billiards in the pub across the street. So it was myself, my father, two brothers, my unmarried brothers' lady, and my soon to be married brother's best friend. They all vouched that I was at legal age and that I'd just left my ID in Greencastle. They still wouldn't let me drink. That didn't stop my father from sneaking shots of Crown into my coke. So we played many a game of billiards, I won a game against my soon to be married brother (heretofore referred to as Brother M). Making it my second game of billiards won ever. The first few rounds were teams and the next few were whoever had a stick in their hands between shots of Crown or Jagermeister played, for a while I was the only one holding a billiards cue and ready to play, while waiting for someone else to join me I might as well have had my dick in my hands. Well after this pizza was ordered and after that billiards turned into one fuck off game after another where my brother's did trick shots and I tried to see how many shots I could make. Oddly enough I find that my game improves the more I drink.
After the pizzas were ordered one of the bouncers thought my dad looked like Gene Levy from the American Pie movies. And I had to admit, because he was completely shaven, he did look so in profile view.
We left the bar and we all hung out in the parking lot and talked until Brother M got called home by his bride to be, and so he left with his best friend. After that it was just my father, other brother, and I in the parking lot talking amongst ourselves. They're both into cars and about the only thing I know about cars is that they have four wheels, have a horn to honk, and I operate them badly. So during car talks I spent most of the time listening. I did, however, enjoy every minute of it. I haven't seen my father in a little over a year and my brother's in four. And shortly before we reconvened to our respective sleeping quarters for the night my father pulled both of us close and shared with us some of that father-son wisdom. I choose not to share that here. Its only for me to pass that on to my son.
The next day we woke up and all got ready for the wedding. We ate at subway, then drove to the wedding, it took us a while to get there because our motorcade was as follows: Brother M leading the way with his best friend in the car, My other brother and his lady in his truck, and My father, sister, Girlfriend lady and myself holding up the rear. There was a time where Brother M did not know where he was at and we were all about 20 minutes late to the wedding, but then again so were alot of people because the church was so far out there.
As soon as we all get to the church, The other brother's truck dies as soon as he parks and he had to have it towed to the place we were holding the reception at after the wedding. The ceremony was great, and short and I got plenty of pictures, very few of which I may or may not share here. We went to the reception, I had some cake, got to talk to some family I haven't seen in a while, snap some great pictures, and I also caught the garter which I found out is the equivalent of catching the brides bouquet. So apparently I am going to be the next of the Kell boys to marry.
Shortly after the reception we all piled into my fathers motor vehicle and proceeded to the small town that my grandmother and large number of my family on my fathers' side resides. We stayed the night there and then the next day we got my car ready to travel. Everything was ship shape except for the fact that there was no gas cap and the vehicle needed new wiper blades. We replaced those at an auto zone in a town near the Illinois/Indiana border. The new gas cap and wiper blades are equipped to the vehicle and we set out on the road.
The Girlfriend Lady and I get a block away from the Auto Zone and a mere stones throw away from the bridge that takes us across the Wabash River and into Indiana when we get pulled over by the cops. Because we didn't have time to register the vehicle before or after the wedding, its my job to take care of it upon arriving home.
The police man understood this and told us that since we were so close to Indiana they would let us be their problem, so we hit the road once again and without any problems whatsoever arrived home in Greencastle around six PM. And since coming home I've been going through boxes, unpacking various things, and setting aside things that need to be thrown away or put into a yard sale. During this process I've come across many things from who I used to be.
Things from before military school, things before Jobcorps, things from when I was living on my own, I even found things from before I went to SCYC. But instead of going over any of that at length I already plan on putting up a video about it, but that wont be for some time.
I could also take this time to tell you more about the car, but I can do that in the form of pictures and videos as well. So if you have a YouTube account subscribe to me. I will also mention it in the blog if I have a new video, I may even submit it here. That's all for now. My next post may be of pictures, it may not be. Who knows, hell with all the unpacking I have to do among other things who even knows when my next post to be.
This was just a 'coming up for air' post, expect my YouTube Channel, my Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and all other accounts to stay dark until I finish all the things I have going on. If in a couple of days I don't post pictures I'll definitely have the Tee Morris interview posted. I don't have the BlogCast that I mentioned in my last entry up yet because my computer ate it.
Thats all I have to say for now.

| Busy busy busyFinally got back into playing Guild Wars, I haven't logged in for several months. At least since April. So now I have a whole lot of downloading for the game to do with all its updates and such.
I figured I'd blog while I wait. So this will probably be a quick post. And now that I've said that I guarantee that I'll be typing for a while.
I've been watching alot of movies lately simply because I've been pirating alot of them.
I should have released a new BlogCast by now, I started recording it on Thursday, all I have left to do is to transcribe the show notes. I just haven't gotten around to doing it though. I also ended up interviewing the podcaster Tee Morris immediately after. And because Skype hates me I could not establish a strong connection so we ended up on the phone doing ti interview instead of using Skype, it was very interesting, I think thats how I will conduct all my interviews from now on unless I have to interview someone who is outside of the country, like Steve Saylor, I want to interview him. The raw audio is around the three hour mark. So even after the small amount of edits that need to be done, if any, it will be the longest interview yet, and will probably hold that record, if not holding the record of being the longest interview ever. It was very interesting and I enjoyed every minute of it.
If you're able to listen to the whole thing in one sitting I will mail you a cookie mix of your choice seeing as an actual cookie won't make it through the post.
Dean Koontz wrote another book for the Odd Thomas series and I cant wait to read it. Apparently Double Day book club will send it next month because its the featured item or some other kind of nonsense.
Its a week until I travel to Illinois for my car and my half brother's wedding. It should be fun I have my nice clothes and everything else that I needed.
The only thing that has yet to arrive is the car insurance. They took the money out and yet the paperwork and the insurance cards have not arrived yet and this is two if not three days late. I need to get it before this coming Thursday, if not I wont have proof of insurance to collect the car and if that happens it basically makes the entire trip a waste.
Also it turns out instead of our down payment being good for a month, its only good for nineteen days, so that many days after our first payment our next payment is due. Which means we will be paying for it almost immediately after we get back. So when the papers get here I need to call and have the policy suspended until the nineteenth because if not then we're being charged for the weeks I didnt even have the car in my possession and that just doesn't make sense to me. And I cant do it now because all companies are Jews and so I'm afraid that if I suspsend the policy now they might fuck with our papers. So I always make sure I have the leverage in my hands so it wont matter. They may or may not screw with the proof of insurance if I have them suspend it, but if I have the papers in hand then there is nothing they can do except for suspend the policy so that they won't be bending me over. And that way everybody wins.
I'm feeling weak, I don't think I ate enough today. Thats all for now.
