Just a little lol

Heres a little some thing pretty funny I found while sick in bed (noticed how a lot of my post are when im sick? hmm...).



If you didn't find it funny its probably because you haven't seen this video:



p.s. after watching it for the first time made me say to myself: "mmm I could have done that"

Anberlin

Anberlin is the that kind of band that really gets your heart pumping and your mouth moving to the catchy lyrics and pulse pounding beats and riffs . I first came upon these guys back in my Limewire days. A friend of mine let me borrow a DVD full of music videos and this was one of them:



From there I was curious to what other songs they had so I fired up my 12 yr old compaq and used my best friend at the time Limewire to download and push the limits of the machine. I could only download the most 3 at a time because 1. I was using dial-up and 2. it would freeze every time I exceeded the limit. As it was downloading I sampled one track, because of my lack of bandwidth the sample only gave me about like 2 seconds of this track. From that instant I knew I would love this music.

Fast forward a few years, 1 amazing live show, several late night T.V. appearances, and 4 albums later, Anberlin has matured with not only their sound but their song meanings as well. This band started changing right when I started changing. I am no longer that 18 year old boy that rocks out alone in his room to the point of exhaustion. I have found that they are just a bunch of guys (mostly Christians) that play good music.I find myself actually thinking of the song lyrics in stead of just saying them. Some people might say that when a band changes their sound they are selling out and are leaving the fans behind. I don't believe this is the case with Anberlin.



Even though their music has toned down a bit they still are that little indie band from Orlando that saved us from N*SYNC and The Backstreet Boys. This following vid is for a song that was originally released on their sophomore album and was re recorded in all of its mainstream label glory for their latest album.



As sit here wishing I was able to go to Orlando for Anberlins last tour date this year, but sadly I am unable because of time and money constraints. SO I leave you with this fellow readers: I will make an Anberlin video and post it right here for all to enjoy!!!!!



p.s. 190 days till the most joyous day of my life!!!

Star Wars in Song

The following video is funny, cool, very time consuming, and a great way to tell the Star Wars story so bask in all of the geeky Star Wars tributeness to John Williams.



I think he should have put in the Harry Potter theme also

R2-D2 = iMac

I came upon this little quote while reading a blog a bout the many star wars designs. Here's what the blogger had to say about R2-D2: Nearly all the tools and utilities are hidden inside the casing of the droid making him something like an iMac or an Swiss Army Knife on Wheels. (via)

I found interesting that a robot, that was created 33 years ago, would be compared to the best and most practical computers ever made. A sign of the times lol

I have to hand it to HIM

No really, God really comes through when you sit down and truly seek him as the center of your life. Just a bout a year ago on my birthday, I came to the realization that I needed to get my life in order. I was not a kid any more I had to grow up. So from there I began take charge and pray and think of Gods plan for the rest of my life. at that time I wasn't in school I had decided to take a break but deep down inside I knew I had to go back but I lost my scholarship and everything so it was too difficult. Not to mention I was torn between staying here or pursuing my dreams of going of going to Full Sail and making films (im thinking about being a cinematographer).
To fast forward a bit almost 22 engaged to Kristina M. Selecky preparing for our wedding then embarking on our jouney to central Florida to stat our lives together. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW What a change!!! Im so glad to have found some so amazing. I remember growing up before a new school year would start I would say a prayer that would go some thing like this: "God, if its your plan please let me see the woman you have for me I don't want to miss her" and I didn't. I found her at a video shoot I was doing for the childrens ministry. From there we became friends and then Passion happened. Not only would I never forget the time we sat next to each other before the first day and how Amy got me to talk about those stars on the screen. It was a good way of making me talk to her cuz next thing I know I was in an all out conversation about our dreams and passions, But I will never forget the drive up when I sat next to her and we were playing word spell on her iphone and our hands grazed (for the first time) because she didn't move. I knew from there she was special.....

I have to say to the person out there that is reading this don't be down that life isn't really going your way stick it out stay true and remember that God has a story that He is writing Called Your Life that the He is willing to finish.

Here's a vid she gave me a the other day. I combines her favorite band (Relient K) and my favorite movies (uh I think you know the answer to that) here ya go:



I thought it was interesting how they compared the life story in the sing to that of Darth Vader, it really fit well and the whole rewind thing showing his deeds were erased was a good touch. but it could have been done without Jar Jar at then end.


I really don't know how to end this post other than saying I LOVE YOU BABE!!!!

As I Sit Here. . .

...I type in casual dress attire for my first and will be only cake testing for our wedding I Evan Garcia on May 15, 2009 will be marring the most wonderful woman in the world. She's the perfect match for me , Kristy Gar.... oh not yet Kristina Selecky aka. Kristy. But getting back to the present. Cake testing mmmmmm Who would have thought that wedding planning included such a tasty and delicious task. I cant wait till I indulge in all the luscious and decadent layers of the fluffy goodness and creamy frosting that cakes consist of.

Some thing tells me I have to tell you the real motivation behind this blog post.To tell you the truth I woke up today and said oh no I have assignment due tonight!!!. See, After a great class discussion about "covering" (Will explain later) on Tuesday my professor gave a writing assignment that consisted of just finding a topic to write about and just write doesn't matter if I get off topic just write. Its called Yarn writing as apposed to a conceit where your writing is more structured and focused. So I said this gives me a real good reason to just sit down on my Mac and blog. I didn't ask if I could do this because I thought of it on the way home from class that night. I hope he's fine with the medium that I have chosen in which to do my assignment.

Ok now back to the real topic. Oh hold up, I cant I must not stray from the task at hand. Which is pretty funny because I'm supposed to get off topic but I must control my self to stay on task which entails I not stay on task Uh!!! Just a little confusing I think. Well to change the subject (WOW, that was a real bad transition) to something much less important and exciting I will start giving my opinion on the computer animated Star Wars The Clone Wars Movie/T.V. Series. Back in June when Star Wars.com announced that to jump start the animated T.V. series they will combine the first four episodes and make a movie and release it in THEATERS!!! I was sooooo excited about it!!!. And August 15 has now come and passed I've seen it several times , so I believe I have some authority and can give a real good opinion about it. The first thing that I noticed about it was of course the animation style. Its like nothing ever put to screen. It took me forever to figure out where I have seen this look and finally on one of the producers blogs they said they were going for a Thunderbirds marinate puppet type of style. I said to my self HA!!That where I’ve seen it!!!! Remember that puppet show where they would fly in space and stuff it was pretty much startrek with puppets (noticed how i put startrek all in lower case hee heee). I remember as I child I was a bit creeped out by them I mean come one they had really big heads with even bigger bulging eyes that would never blink on a miniscule body. And this is where I start typing my way into obscurity after about an hours worth of typing. So cakes HERE I COME!!!!
