“Cheese Ball – The Movie”

This post was written in April 2013 right after I watched the movie “42”. I decided to post it here since I always enjoy re-reading some of my older articles. Enjoy! I’ve been a movie-goer since I was a tiny baby, and I honestly believe that this is the cheesiest cheese ball of a movie […]

Been there, done that – A look at Far Cry 3

Shoot to kill. Travel. Shoot to kill. Travel. Shoot to kill. Repeat for 19 more hours. I’ve been playing games for about 19 years. I’ve played a lot of games that are very similar to Far Cry 3. I was hoping that the story and characters would be intriguing enough that it would encourage me […]

Spontaneous Experiences

This post was written in October 2013 for a Communications class assignment. I decided to post it here as well since I always enjoy re-reading some of my older articles. Enjoy! What matters to me is to develop myself by doing things that are out of my comfort zone. I try to take away […]

Shortening a Long-Distance Relationship

In the past, I’ve told myself that long-distance relationships are stupid and I will never be a part of one. Here I am, a part of one. A meta-level thought crossed my mind last night: Every time I heard my phone vibrate it was as if my girlfriend was saying “I know how you feel”, […]

Interstellar – Coop, is that you?

Warning: some spoilers follow… Chris Nolan’s “Interstellar” takes you on a trip. It’s a journey. It’s art. It’s beautiful. It’s satisfying. It’s emotional. It’s a lot of really beautiful things/words all blended in a 400 million dollar blender with 64 ounces of Swedish gold. After witnessing the marvel that is Interstellar, I read a review […]

The “Corporate Responsibility” Argument

Isn’t it our fault for eating in fast food restaurants if we’re trying to be healthy? Why is it that it’s the restaurant’s fault for not providing us with healthy food? Self-aware human beings know that a fast food restaurant doesn’t typically provide healthy food, therefore it’s your responsibility to avoid them. If you want […]

“Come work with us!”

That’s the tagline of hitrecord.org.

Hitrecord.org is a collaborative and extremely diverse site full of music, graphics, animations, books, art, and short films with its own television show called “HITRECORD ON TV”.

The front page has a video by Joseph Gordon-Levitt himself introducing you to the site. The first thing that came to mind when I saw the site was “So…..it’s another YouTube?”, but the site has a lot more emphasis on “collaborating” than just checking out other people’s content. Regardless of whether or not you’re interested in collaborating, it’s definitely a well made video…and it worked on me! I WANT TO COLLABORATE!

If your work gets used in a money-making production such as their show, you do get paid for it which is pretty cool!

Let’s “Google Hangout” Each Other

Nonsensical Thoughts. What’s the right way to say it? Do people say “let’s do a Google Hangout”, or is it “Let’s Google Hangout”, or maybe it’s “let’s Google Hangout each other”. Yeah, I think it’s the last one. It makes the most sense really. You can’t really do a “Google Hangout”. That implies that you […]
