Here's a time waster game called I Smite Thee. Interesting but tends to get boring.

serious
This is some freakin' serious redered artwork you got here. I mean, Goddamnn yo. What do I have to do to get to this caliber? Well whatever it is I'm going to have to jump into it. I wonder if it involves locking yourself in a room with photoshop and 3d studio max for about a year. That will do it. I hope kayah doesn't miss me while I'm locked away studying the Zen-like ways of photoshop.
Penis_Fish!
Listening to the radio on my way to work, I heard about a new terror attacking the Amazon jungle rivers of the world, a penis biting fish. OH GEEZ. It seems that this fish is " detecting a chemical change in the water, swimming up the urine trail and biting the genitals." Ouch. Its all too hard to believe, but its well documented truth. Its basically a different species of pirahna. Read more about it here. This teaches everyone an old school lesson, DON'T pee in the water!

so today i came to class prepared with the assignment. It was a reaction towards the WTC crisis. I think I must have put about 4 or 5 hours of time into that project from brainstorm to product. *skip to end of class... POOF* Damn. He absolutely had no idea what the piece was all about. He critisized it like it was a piece of turkey poop. I mean, granted I'm not an official "graphic designer" but my project was done ten times neater then anyone else's. Plus the project actually incorporated "design" techniques. dammit. I'll show him, that Mork (from Mork and Mindy) impersonator. I will.


johncanlas.com
Your looking at the proud owner of the best URL on the block, haha. YES, the papers have been given to the proper authorities and its in the works. JOHNCANLAS.COM!!!! whoa. What a momentous occasion for the entire human race. haha. Damn John your quite original, i know, i know, thank you. Hopefully it will be running by the end of the week. I'm going to use "redirect" for a month or two and jump off into having it hosted at Dreamhost. wow. I can't believe it. I sold out to the whole "dot com" revolution. Next step is working on some webcam whoring for some gifts like everyone else, but I know it doesn't work as well for guys. Oh well.
binladenhead
I was just recalling something I saw on the news. I seems that many Muslim fanatics that do side with Binladen and his way aren't necessarily where the United States will be attacking. These muslims or should I say "Binladen supporters" are everywhere around the world. They are promising a counterstrike upon american citizens and american embassies that might exsist in their country. Now this brings my next point. Isn't striking terrorism going to produce a backlash of even more terrorism activities throughout the entire world?

there goes the dreams of going to the Philippines this December .. *poof* ....

most uneventful
So its mad early in the morning and I've spent most of my time trying to finish the mad hundreds of projects I have due this week. Lord this full time art student thing is harder than i thought. oh well, at least its challenging me to think more about the actual artwork and presentation. Our assignment was to creat your reaction towards the events which unfolded last week.

So i'm sitting at my dining room table, clueless as to what I have to present. I start cutting things out. Trying to understand everything I've learn within the past two weeks. the emotions. the drama. the life. How can you present these within one single picture? The answer is that you can't. The trick is to have a piece that creates an emotion or maybe a lasting image that will forever be burned into the eye of its viewer. Why would I use actual pictures from the world trade tower? everyone's seen them. So I've decided to use imiages that are not taken directly from the WTC event. I composed it of pictures of other objects to create a wierd political statement. I guess I'll have to take a picture of it so you can see what i'm talking about. Its about ignorance and cockiness of the united states.

On a side note, I'm thinking of buying a new domain name. One that fits me perfect. HTMLism.com will belong to mark. So I'm not going to tell you because you might buy it. And that would suck forrreeal...

Ohhhsamaaaa.
For all you kids who love to hate Osama, there's a couple great flash games on Newgrounds.com. Have fun and kick some ass.
SurvivorCam.net
If you don't know about this, then you'd better get your ass in gear and check it out. Its Survivor Cam 2. The funniest and most creative things I ever seen out of a webcam. At the moment I don't have the right mindset to join this but I love reading everyone's blogs and seeing the results. Maybe in the future when I get camwhored enough I'll be able to battle these people. Until then I'll just watch. Look out for Will (funny as hell), Chelle (really really hot), and Ace (oh my god. she's asian and has an Australian accent.). These are some of the better ones in my own small opinion.

Its [insert early as time here] a.m. in the morning and I've been working on my page for hours. It doesn't look like its changed any. Oh well. No one really reads this shiet anyways. Hey you, are you actually reading this? Probably because I forced you to do so or something. Well I still have some projects to do for class tomorrow. Geez. Procrastination, my worst quality ever. Well I should be going to go start my projects.... eh ... wait a second... I have mad time. I'll just do it later..... =)

Pearlpaint.com
I went to my favorite art store today, Pearl Paint, and picked up one of those art supply bins. I was trying to avoid this moment as much as possible last semester but with the number of class I have at the moment, its sorely needed. I'm officially an art nerd. You know what I mean. Porfolio in one hand, art bin on the other, and a backpack. NICE. I'm a dork I know. Although the class was highly emotional today because of that lady crying, I did manage to impress the professor with my sketchbook. HAHA. Not to brag or anything but that feels damned good. Or maybe it was because I was one of the two out of 12 people to actually understand the concept of the assignment. Oh well. At least I can REED directions.
I just don't know...
Today was a wierd day. I was in my Design class and we were going over our next assignment. It's a response to the craziness that was, last week. A response? What the hell is that mean? I have to draw a picture saying something. I have no idea. But one of our classmates broke down into tears and crying because she lost her best friend at WTC. It made me feel really too emotional to even look at her cry like that. So i decided to keep my head down and keep drawing. I think I would have cried as well. This whole assignment is just a hard topic to swallow. So I guess everyone is slowly jumping into the norm. As normal as it can get after something lifechanging like this. I guess we're all stuck in a different world now. As hard as it may seem, maybe it was for the better?

HAHAH
Oh my god. This is my fuckin' hero. Super Greg!!. Damn that stuff is too too funny. Can you say "unibrow"? Or check out the official Super Greg Video: "SG Numba One". Do you understand the Super Greg concept? Cause not many people do.
its all in the motion
I'm in class right now listening to some bull-ish about photoshop. We have to do this wierd project where you have to combine a whole bunch of pictures into one new image. I have no idea what I'm going to do. A classmate just informed me that the professor I chose for two classes is a hard man to sell. gee, that really sucks. I guess we'll have to see what happens.

Terrorism. My thoughts about this whole subject... hmm ... well I don't really know. Some things I've seen on the news I agree with but other things are just unneccessary. Many say that the United States should go to war with other countries that decide to harbor terrorists within their land. Yes, I agree that these countries are liable for their citizens and their actions. Should we bomb and punish the entire country because of them? I don't think so. As much as I would like to kill some people at this point, punishing their entire society is just wrong.

War on terrorism seems a bit wierd to me. These people are hidden within multiple countries. A network of individuals out to accomplish the same goal. Realizing these facts, the United States is entering a dangerous and costly battle against many small groups without a central base. I'd rather be in war with another country than a faceless enemy. No matter what happens, may god bless America.

halfMYlife.org
as i sit here waiting for my Halflife game to update, i start to wonder. what makes these games so addicting. it's like there's a small magnet inside the game pulling in your mind so that you waste a couple thousand hours on the damn computer when you could actually be out doing something productive. maybe its the procrastination that lives inside me. damn. oh well. i guess i'll finish my homework later. haha

WTC.com
I'm speechless. but here's a wierd fact from a google groups forum.

" The flights that were highjacked were from United and AA, They were
numbered as follows: 11, 93, 175, and 77

11 = today's date
9 + 3 = 12 = Tomorrow
1 + 7 + 5 = 13 = Thursday
7 + 7 = 14 = Friday
anybody see anything wrong with this?? "

I'm here in my night class, waiting for the thing to get started. Before I came I was trying to record to my MD player. When I get to the car, guess what? It was freakin' empty. Damn you minidisc. damn you. I really need to get my CD player installed. I'm freakin' tired of blasting the radio. It must sound so corny to blast a radio station while your cruising along trying to impress the hunnies.

So the lady is lecturing us right now about our text book. I feel bad for typing while she's talking but sh deserves it for being so damn boring on the first night. Illustrator is the program of choice for the class. This should actually be kind of fun. I haven't developed my Illustrator skills as of yet. But I will now.

On a side note. My professor this morning looks like Mork, from Mork and Mindy. All class I kept waiting for him to burst out and say, "Nanu nau." That would just be the funniest thing on the universe. His class seemed pretty lively. The people who had him last semester are so bonded, that they were hugging and chatting like they knew each other forever. Wow. I feel the love. I hope I can get that initimate with my fellow classmates, especially with the hottie ones. haha.

GothDesign.nu
Why is it that art type people usually are "goth" like. Or have muli-colored hair. Or have mad tatoos. Nothing against that, its just not my style. That's okie, I'm probably wierd just the same. Ew John your so wierd.
GoneOFFtheDeepend.net
So today starts off my first day at school. I drop off my brother and head off to class, not late but, an hour and 45 minutes early. WOW. A bowl of chereos and an hour of pacing the entire college later, I decided to re-check on my class. Yes, "re-check", because I already checked it out once I was at the school. There's a class in there? ohmygod. Am I on a wrong schedule? Is today Thursday? So I get all paranoid seeing that there happens to be a class where mine is suposed to be in a few minutes. The class actually happens to be a class that i took last semester. Anyways, I'm running around the school trying to figure out the date and if it really is Thursday. Should I ask someone and risk the thought of being a complete idiot? This is what you get during summer, don't even know or care about the day. I jumped on the elevator and thought I might ask the nice lady on it.

idiot me: Uh excuse me. Is today Thursday?
lady: (while a smile) Yes it is.
idiot me: Oh good. wew. *ramble*ramble*excuse*excuse*ramble.....
lady: Are you new?
idiot me: Uh yeah kinda. (I'm such a cumpulsive liar)

Hey lady. What's that suposed to mean? New to the country? New to the school? New to the universe? damn. such a bad start. well I guess I have to go find out about my class. Or maybe cause a rukus and make the other class getDaFunkOut. Remember.... Today is Thursday .... all day long.

SO the other night we come back home from a good night out. Relaxin, chillin, mo' relaxin. As usual these peoples want to go eat somwhere. NYC at the Hopkee Chinese Restaurant. I'm not sure if your familiar with that place. But if your in the NYC area and are filipino, I'm sure you've dropped by. (you know what I'm talking about you pancake ball eater....) Anyways I state that I am way too damn tired to be driving all the way to NYC for something to eat. We end up at a diner, all messed up and sleepy. I'm trying to get some shut eye. Dave is flirting with god knows who. Anthony is pointing them out for him. And G? He's just G. Actually he was flipping butter into a bowl or cup. So we each order and for some unknown reason (still to this moment i have no idea why) I end up ordering a tuna melt. Why? Maybe because I havent had a decent tuna sandwhich in a while. Eventually after hundreds of minutes of Dave making an ass of himself and hollerin' at the Ladies as they try to sit down, our food comes. Down the hatch. At the moment I could see this as a possible BAD situation.

Now it's around 2.30am and I'm getting comfortable in bed. Ah. It's so nice in here. BAM. I'm out for the night.

Now it's 4.30am. I feel the rumble. Something is climbing up my throat. What do I do. Swallow it like a man. Rumplemints ain't shiet. I've drunkin' that before. I can handle it. Then *rumble*. Come on John. You wussie. You can't drink for shiet. *Rumble* I can *rumble* hold it *RUMBLE* Oh boy.

Now its 4.40am. Hovering over the toilet i can see the tuna floating in some wierd liquid. EW. So I clean the toilet as well as my sleepy self. Washing up I realize. Drinking rumplemints isnt exactly the best idea for me. I mean I was burnt once during freshmen year and now again, you would think I would have learned from that. So what do I take out of this whole experience? I guess I'll have to give up tuna.....

maybe i should write a book ... Chicken Adobo For the Soul. Thats what I had for lunch.

I'm currently going through my "his/her page is so phat and is better than mine" stage. So I'm putting together a new layout. I know, I know, my page sucks but I will soon get there. There seems to be a certain few that have pages that look alike or look similar. Not to say they were not original. Well I have no idea in what I'm saying.

But why the cumpulsive need to redesign the site? Can't you just be happy for a few weeks? No. Sorry. I'm so indecisive in my layout that I feel the need to have it change every week or so. They only reason it hasnt been changed already it because of damn HTML code. If it were a photshop game I would do it every damn day. Well I hope I get it out to you soon.

I think it all goes back to a comment I made to my brother a few weeks ago. [I think in pictures and not CODE] I was stating that sometimes I have the compulsive need to change the website because the picture sucks, someone's page is better and I want to bite it ...eh I mean it inspired me, or I suck, design a new one dammit. So anyways he tells me that just make it simple and no one gets hurt. A page without pictures? Not my style. But back to the story, I was telling him that people who desgn things see their creation from the beginning. Conception to product. Being that I am slow at making, drawing or sketching. It takees me a few to turn over a product. So by the time its done, I'm freakin tired of it already and want to see a new layout. While other people have only seen it once or twice. Am I crazy? or just a dumbass...

I feel illiterate playing dance dance on 4 hands.
