VLoG #89: Been getting a few email requests for another freestyle- I looked and my last one and it's date was March 07' (wow). At any rate- you asked for it... you got it.

Stella awards: http://australianopinion.com/index.php?topic=1093.msg8759 VLoG #92: I get IM'ed out of the total blue random by someone mentioned in one of my earliest video blogs. Haven't talked to them in years. Afterwards- I open up the Stella award winners and add my two cents

So my boy Rob is having a MySpace party. We've been cooped up in my room for a bit; let's step out of the house for some fresh air. I grabbed some clips from existing internet footage from a pretty intresting project (out in theaters now) to help along the story. Enjoy

There are hundreds of points to love; these are just 12 solid ones. Feel free to copy and share the video link and or text below: 12 Things About Love: 1. No man or woman is worth your tears... and the one that is would never make you cry. 2. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to love you, doesn't give you the right to get unhappy/testy or salty with them. 3. The worse possible way you could miss somebody is; sitting right next next to them, knowing you can never have them. 4. Don't be so quick to blame the other guy/girl for things wrong in the relationship. 5. To the world, you may be just one person; but to one person, you may be the world. 6. Don't make somebody your priority while you continue to be their option. 7. It is possible for God to potentially want you to meet a few wrong people before you meet the right person. 8. Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened. 9. There are always going to be people that hurt you- it's a good idea to keep on trusting but in the future, just be more aware of how you exercise that trust. 10. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try to get to know anybody else and expect them to know you. 11. Don't try so hard. These things happen when you least expect them. 12. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

Follow Wendy on twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/wenoz21 A light hearted look at the art of converting your girlfriend into a girl gamer. 1st, Think about your girlfriends personality because that plays a huge part in turning them to the dark side. Sadly, not EVERY girl is going to want to share your love for gaming but it wont hurt to try. Right? 2. Test the water. In life, different approaches work on different people and thats no different when it comes to the ladies. 3. When you and your gf are together, if she sits behind you bored as you play your game for hours... that is NOT the best way to do it. Invite her to play. Don't ignore your woman or make her feel like she comes 2nd to your gaming habits. It's very important that if your lady says "no" or turns down a game, listen to her reason why... let it settle then try again after you try to get a feel for her game preference. Dont try to force a different game on her ever day. Tact is your friend. 4. Let her know in a sincere way what your intentions are. Make sure to use words like "share" and "bond" and "connect" you'd love if she got more into gaming but also offer interest in something of her expertise so it's not just a one way street- the relationship outside of gaming could benefit from it. 5. Gateway game= that's the game that will grab your girls attention and 'plant the seed' so to speak. With some girls it might be World or War craft. Other girls it might be The sims. -Testing the water needs to be used here as well. A simple... "Hey you wanna try this" as they pass by doesn't hurt. Some recommended games are: (read from paper) Mario Party 8 for the wii, Smash Bros Brawl (lots of cute characters and the game is played with two buttons), World of War Craft, For XBOX live arcade theres geometry wars and UNO - Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3... all good gateway games 6.Transitional games. Depending on what games grab her attention will really decide on how to go about transition games. Yo

VLoG #98: How it works is you get a piece of paper. You write down 10 career choices; all things you would LOVE to do (they can be hobbies also). Make sure you number them as well. Then you start at #1 (i.e video game designer) and then go down the list to see how many numbers #1 will let you get involved with. Then you go to #2 (i.e sound designer) and compare it to all the other numbers (1,3-10). Do this for all 10 numbers and then when you are finished, see which number lets you get involved with the other numbers the most. #2 might have the greatest potential to let you get involved with 5 other numbers. There may even be cases where a certain number on your list lets you cover EVERY other number on your list. If/When that happens- I strongly suggest plotting that one in on your GPS.

VLoG #99: My twin brother Sam has a way of surfacing after I get back home from traveling. Seems he wants to re-negotiate the terms of our contract now Music: Neighborhood Theme 4 from The Sims

VLoG #101: Anyone with a little creativity and a love for the NES-SNES era... Feel free to use this site for any ideas on how to put sprites into pixel form- the smaller the image, the better. For example- the sprites here are perfect sizes: http://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/smariostarsworld/sheet/4253 You will have to screen capture the individual sprite you want and then import it to this site: http://www.edsalisbury.net/projects/perlerpal/ There are plenty of other ways to get sprites but thats just to get you guys rolling- plenty more links on my "How to make a nintendo necklace" description also

VLoG #102: Something 2 think about #3. The quote I challenge myself as well as others with is "Have you been taught what you think you believe".

Prom night done with a new story-telling technique for me. At the end of the night, little did I know my prom date was ready to cash in my precious V-card.

My trip from Florida to Dallas where a crazy DOA tournament is being held.

I just arrived in LA and settled into my apt. CGS season two is full swing. Music by: Xyanyde download at: http://www.myspace.com/djxyanyde

Still in LA and halfway through the CGS trip. T-minus one more month of fun! Quick update on some things here as I see them. Music: "Tainted love" instrumental "Church" Instrumental "Holidae Inn" Instrumental "Paper planes" Instrumental

When the Championship Gaming Series throws a party- they do it up right! I personally didn't think they'd be able to top the playboy mansion party for years but looks like I was wrong

Still in LA and hit up two parties this week. The super sweet Victoria Secret party followed by the Street Fighter 4 (street fight club) promotional party

CGS isn't your average TV show... this is not your average job, I don't have your average co-workers. I'm not bragging-- there's just really only a few other ways one can put it when you're a part of something like this. Hands down the best summer I've ever had.

12 Obvious signs she wants you: It would be soo much easier if girls just came up to you and said I like you Consider this your detection device 1.She applies lip gloss often. but not in your presence. (If you witness makeup application of any sort, youre officially in the friend zone.) 2.She sits at the edge of her seat. 3.My speech pattern is starting to resemble, like, Kirsten Dunst's. 4.She touches you (for any reason) more than once. 5.She laughs, frequently and nervously, despite humorless conversation. 6.Her cell phone rings and she doesn't answer it. 7.She says in a quasi-question/observation tone, "Your girlfriend must really like that?!" (A classic fishing-expedition tactic to ascertain whether there's currently a woman with this title in your life.) 8.She tells you you're talented. a) It's a measured remark, so you know Shes sincere. b) By the Mick Jagger Laws of Chemistry, it must therefore follow that she thinks you're sexy. Talent is personality salsa: adds hot to any dish. 9.She calls you first 10.When you take her out, Shes wearing a different outfit or shoes or carrying a different handbag than when you saw her earlier the day. 11.Shes late, but, interestingly, had enough time to put on mascara. 12.Shes in the bathroom for more than 3 minutes Music: "Splash Waterfalls (Instrumental)" by Ludacris
