****tblog was (still is) experiencing problems with their posting procedures at the time of the initial posting. all the following was sent, but none of it but the title were placed on my blog. but i suppose you people can't WAIT for a real post before you start insulting poor little jafo, with his already feeble broken heart, now can you??!!! nope, didn't think so. well, at least NOW you have a halfway legitimate excuse to pound poor jafo's emotions into the ground. enjoy!!! ****

son-of-a-biskit!!! stupid tblog plain text post engine isn't working. i may decide halfway through this to wait till tomorrow.

i HATE how it skips like this... like it does in word and ... geez. it's so annoying.

well. i was having a FABULOUS day today till THIS!!! guess i haven't gotten upset at anything yet today so this is it. gotta get it out sometime right?? ah well.

decided to take a break from school work. yesterday my comp said i was running low on disk space. kinda freaked me out cause i have a 120Gb harddrive. was worried that it was a virus multipier or something. nope, but turns out that i haven't been burning many cds recently. all those downloads kinda added up. X) so today i gathered all my cds and started burning like crazy. also, cause it was hard to tell what i had and hadn't burned (bad memory) i organized all the preexsisting ones. turns out that i got quite a lot. more than half i haven't seen!!! don't really have the time these days to watch everything i download. so it was nice to get things organized and taken care of. clear up space on my comp and figure out what i do and don't have. i still have so much more to burn off. ah well, maybe i'll take another day off tomorrow. X)

yeah. i've been skimping on my commenting duties lately. i tried explaining that i have been busy, but looks like no one believes me. ah well, can't MAKE you believe what you don't want to, right??

i'm listening to this kickin oakenfold track that i got. it's a 2 hour live gig recording. it's all really good, but some parts are just astounding. i decided to break it up into smaller tracks and make an audio cd out of it. i could easily from that make smaller clips and put them up on my blog. stay tuned, there'll be some WICKED music coming up soon. boy, i really need to switch up my music... this track is starting to bother ME!!

night y'all. have a goodnight, and a fantastic day. ja-ne.

i'm so stinkin tired... and VERY very sore!! i just got back from playing Wallyball. yes, WALLyball. it's an indoor variation on vollyball. very weird, but very fun. well, i haven't had this much exersice in a few months, so i'm pretty sore. i can only imagine how tomorrow will be!! :shock: :? :cry:

well, my hands and wrists hurt very badly so i can't type anymore. goodnight. have fun.

jafo!!

sorry peoples. i've been abset a bit. the weekend was a killer. and yesterday and today i was pretty busy. i got done worn out!!! well, i hope my little break today was good enough cause i got way too much more to do this week.

sunday was quite a bit better than saturday. thank you all for your comments and concerns for me. it made me happy and enjoy my day better. sunday i ended up feeling a little ill. i'm sure why, maybe something i ate, i don't know. all i know was whatever it was it didn't agree to well with me. i'm better now though, just a one day illness i guess.

yesterday and today i was working on my tut.s again... it HARD!!! well, a little hard but VERY tedious. i have such a hard time focusing and concentraiting on something/anything for that long.... a couple hours at a time. what i'm working on now is a bit complicated and it deals with something i havent explained yet, so maybe i'll fill y'all in tomorrow.

been playin some Zelda to pass the time and help relax me a bit between working and chores and whatnot. in the game i'm currently going through taking pictures of everything so the guy in the gallery will make figurines of it all. it's really cool but the most time consuming of anything. although certain things can only be photographed after certain events, overall, it takes longer to do this side quest than to actually beat the game... however, the main game is actually very very short. despite that, it's still really fun to play. i recommend it to any video game fans, and even reluctant Zelda fans.

alright. i gotta get off now. i got a few things to take care of before i go to bed.

goodnight!!!

today was effin BS!!! i appologize to anyone who finds that offensive but i find it hard to be any more offended than i was today. all day nothing but DUMB@$$3$!!!! problem after problem. continuous harrasement. we were continuously busy till the last 2 hours. (12 hour day). every idiot in the entire state visited the store today. everyone of them needed help finding a useless item or needed professional knowledge about such useless items. "IT'S USELESS!!! GO AWAY!!". .... *voice of comic store owner from simpsons* "worst, day, ever!!"

yeah, so i'm working this weekend. will be a little sparse the next couple days probably. still haven't changed the oil in my car. got a wonderful comment from a new person... "mustangcowgirl"

go visit "MustangCowgirl"'s blog. read "More Then Enough". it's all good, but that was especially appealing to me.... for some reason.

ok, i'm gonna go play some games till it's time for sleep. thanks. night!!!

i did a BUNCH of cleaning up in my room today. didn't do anything else but watch tv as soon as i got out of bed. it's so much nicer now. of course because of the VERY little space i have here now, i had to clean the closet up quite a bit first before i could put more in it. well, means i had to go through a bunch of boxes and throw more stuff away. luckily i didn't have enough extra stuff to have to make another box to put in storage somewhere (attic, barn, garage..). also, i've been planning to get rid of my entire collection of DragonballZ vid tapes. i originally decided to ask my cousin first. i asked him about it at christmas but he didn't make a decision. i just called him and he said he couldn't cause he was strapped for cash because his old apartment burned, destroyed an entire room, made lots of damage and now they have to get a new place.... and new things. fine with me... EBAY!! i'm just glad to finally get rid of such a large amount of something i never use. (and hopefully make a few extra bucks!!)

it's about 6 now. i still need to go through all my downloaded anime and all my music cds. such a mess. ah well. it'll make me feel better to get it all done!!

have fun. ja ne.

hmmph. been busy the past couple days. how can i be so busy yet still not get school work done?? anyways. yesterday was nice.

yesertay i got up late, watched tv, did some email, went and got a hair cut, came back and trimmed my beard, piddled on the internet, then went to work. after work i went to Red's to watch "The Village". hmm, it was supposed to be a scary movie!! bullcrap. eh, it wasn't great but wasn't all too bad. Red really liked it. weirdo. it had one seen of violence that i really didn't care for. was too disturbing for me. i've seen enough of it, but i don't want to watch that kind of thing for "entertainment"!!

that was pretty much my entire day yesterday.

this morning i watched Naruto 118. Shikamaru is awesome. and they introduced another character!!! sheesh. it still pisses me off that they killed (or severely wounded) Genma, at the beginning of this story arc. he was cool. i liked him almost as much as Hayate.

welp. i got church tonight and mom called me earlier to help her with a couple things today. i need to get a lot of work done on my school work to make up for the past few days. sheesh. and here i am doing tblog!! :roll:

as per k-chan's request i will put up pix of me with my beard and also show how different it is after being cut!!

night. i'll try to write more later.

i made an astounding discovery last night. i discovered how much of a bad person i am. probably considered a hypocrit even. there's a particular person or a group that i hate, and i always imagined myself different from them, better. i was not involved in the things they did and therefore i wasn't as bad of a person. but somehow last night i managed to find how similar i was to them. at that moment my entire views and beliefs crumbled. i am no longer any better than they. i am now equally dispicable as them.

my faith, my religion states that people such as these are not acceptable to God. therefore i was happy to know and even relished in that i was above them. i wasn't a filthy rejectable scum. now that has all changed and now i am no longer acceptable to my God.

here's the strange part:: before, when i knew i was better than those people, i was always scared of being unworthy of going to heaven. i was afraid that i was not good enough or did enough or believed enough to be let in. now... now... those people who were so unworthy, who were so filthy, who would never be let into heaven... i knew that according to my faith, my religion, that even they would be let in. this made it more difficult for me before, when i thought myself unworthy, but knew that "those" people had a chance to enter heaven. now i am happy. i am more secure. now that i have learned that i am no better than them, i am not scared anymore. i know that i have as much chance as them to enter heaven, and live in eternity with HIM.

... to know that i am no longer as clean as i thought i was but am all the more acceptable to enter heaven. that makes me feel good. X)

night.

my boss is a major *insert curse word here*!!! back when he first came to this store to take over for the other manager, he was cool. a bit odd and quircky but alright. over time he's just worse and worse and worse. he cares very much for his customers, treats them like his own personal children or something, but when something goes wrong, he startes *itchin. if a customer is near by, even if it's his most favorite customer of all, he'll yell and scream at them. if i try to interfere and calm him down or help him out, he'll just throw his hands up, curse and yell, then storm out. of course, if he leaves then it makes matters even worse, because ever task has to be approved by him. so, if he's not there, then i can't do what i need to do to help out the customer. geez. it's just all going to hell in a handbasket!! XP

*takes a chill pill* *breathes* ... moving on ...

on to better news. i'm getting back on track of my torrent downloading. Bleach is an awesome series. i recommend it for most people. Naruto is still pretty cool, but it's going so slow right now. ....

for those who aren't keeping up with the anime. it's at...
the part where shikamaru, naruto, neiji, kiba, and chouji are going to get Sasuke back. ep. 116-117 special. neiji fights Kidoumaru, the six-armed spider freak from the 4-man special task team that Orochimaru sent to get Sasuke.

i've also been downloading a bunch of music. specifically stuff from paul oakenfold. considered by many to be the greatest dj in the entire world. he's british (like the chemical brothers and prodigy), but also plays in the u.s. and especially Ibiza, spain. ibiza is considered one of the greatest hotspots for dj's in the entire world. it's a giant party that might be considered like mardi gras but not quite as dirty or flagrant. the main purpose of this party is the dj's and music. well, i'll go through and put some more of his stuff up later.

THANK YOU, GOODNIGHT!! X)

well, it's 2:30 Friday. i have to be at work at 5. my plans for today were:: do laundry, do tutorials, clean the car, get a haircut and shave. what i did today:: laundry (2 pair blue jeans), 1 hour tutorials, and do an errand for mother.

maybe i could do some of this tomorrow, but i was told that the weather will be bad tomorrow so i probably won't be able to clean my car, but i for sure need to change the oil. it's that time and i can't afford to put it off like i do cleaning the car. X)

hmm. so what else can i talk about?? i didn't really learn anything new today to share with y'all. ... going through these tutorials reminds me though...

as an animator, whether it's 3d or 2d, you have to be completely aware of the movement, structure, biology, etc, and the limitations of each for every subject you animate, in order to bring that character truely to life.

on today's lesson i am setting up advanced finger controls. individually each finger has very limited movement. the base bone has a little upward movement, but none of the latter bones do. they can only bend downward. each finger also has very very limited side-to-side movement. the thumb on the side of the hand is pretty much the same way, but has SLIGHTLY more movement in each direction. the true functionality of the hand is the ability to curl each finger individually and place the thumb in, on or around an object in a different place in order to give support to the fingers. take a look at your hand and study it for a minute. it's much more limited than most people give credit for, however it as a whole has the most movement versitility of any other part of the body.

yesterday's lesson was the shoulder. try to figure that one out on your own. X)

k. here's the other quizes i told you about yesterday, plus one more. i'd like every one to take the last quiz on the previous blog. i like that one the best and want to see everyone's results. thanks - jafo.

DEFINITION OF TERMS FOR PERSONALITY DISORDER
Paranoid
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives. People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships with others. They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant to others. They usually shift blame to others and tend to carry long grudges.

Schizoid
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. They genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."

Avoidant
Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others. They are fearful of being rejected and worry about embarassing themselves in front of others. They exaggerate the potential difficulties of new situations to rationalize avoiding them. Often, they will create fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one. Unlike schizoid personality disorder, avoidant people yearn for social relations yet feel they are unable to obtain them. They are frequently depressed and have low self-confidence.
so, you should be able to clearly see now, i am a diagnosed paranoid (amoung other things).

[LINE]

so, as you can clearly see now. i am a diagnosed paranoid (amoung other things). now, i don't think i'm as 'sinister' as how it discribes, but i for sure have been known to carry long grudges. (bad, jafo!!). the firey spirit... i'm not too sure about that. but i do enjoy being alive and enjoying little things in life. uhm... NOODLE ROX!! X)

well, to get this thing started and in concordance with the shoutbox topic of today... i decided to post take and post my results of personality quizes. this came about because of a quiz i took yesterday at work. i liked the quiz and my results so i save the html code, but didn't mail it to myself before i left, so i went to find it again today. i couldn't find it but i found a few others. initially it all started from taking a certain personality disorder quiz that i found.

i'll post the results of the personality disorder quiz and the other "spirit element" quiz probably tomorrow.

here ya go::

i've got over 1000 tbucks and i have no plans to use them. if you would like some please just leave a comment and i'll get in touch with you.

thanks - jafo.

you are now listening to "Ready, Steady, Go", the remix. Paul Oakenfold orginally created this song with vocals by Asher D. on the album Bunkka. He remixed his own song for the movie Collateral with Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. The new version is made with Korean lyrics and was played in the movie when Tom and Jamie enter a Korean dance club. I'm not for sure what the lyrics are yet but i guess they are Korean for "Ready, Steady, Go". X)

Oakenfold rox.

hmm. haven't recieved much comments lately. oh well, nothing to do but move on. i must thank K-chan for being sweet and leaving comments on my last post. i guess everyone just got busy or somethin. ahwell. it goes.

arg. local idiots piss me off so bad!!

i had several other comments since my last few posts, but they just weren't fitting enough. maybe i'm running out of new material. i lost my edge. or got brain fried. i'm finally getting my blog around to what i actually want it to be and now i lose my audience. actually i'm blaming everyone else, but ... i just don't have the time to be in the community like i used to. is alright i guess. nothing really i can do about it now. is sad really how i have fallen, but is the way of things. with my paranoyia, pessimism and social fears it just makes it seem so much worse to me than it is. i need help people. a real good psychiatrist. say-la-v. maybe after i finish school i'll have more time to come back to the community, be in touch with people again. that'd be nice. might be all i need to chill me out. who knows. all that is known is that i really really really need to finish school. so... i must focus... and so the circle continues. X) night people. love you guys no matter how much evil, mean things i say about you. X)

it was great tonight. as i was researching that song i got lots of new information. also been doing some research on other topics. i just love to learn things. doesn't usually matter what it is. i just like to know that what i already do. like a little kid, everything new is just so very interesting. and i love to share everything i know too. don't really know why, but i rarely get to share all the things that i've learned and researched in my life. probably just my social henderances. if you have any questions please ask. i know all sorts of things, lots of odd topics and subjects as well, and what i don't know i would love to do research on. so give me a try!! night people. love ya. goodnight.

alright. new beginnings. as much as i love my past and don't want things to change... it inevitably does. i must move on as well. i much change, and i must adapt. most importantly, to get what i want... i have to move with the flow sometimes.

SO... i have changed the song, am flushing out the shoutbox, changing up the quotes, and will be updating the links as well... soon.

for now... please enjoy this new song. it's the ending theme song from the too cute to watch anime called School Rumble. the song is called "Otoko no Ko Onna no Ko" and is by Ogura Yuuko. the song is utter cuteness which represents the anime very well. i have only seen the first 3 eps so far, but the ending i thought was something i must pass on. the lyrics are fantastic. please read along below and enjoy. arigatou gozaimasu.

well. it's been... a week and a half since my last blog. i haven't gotten any new comments since then. i was think about shutting it down again, but decided i really don't want to do that. i really need to stop being so pessimistic and paranoid. i remembered i hadn't been to anyone else blog either so i don't the right to say anything about it. i feel like such a heel now. i really like this site. i love it when i get on and get lots of comments. and i love to go read other peoples comments too, but sometimes... sometimes it becomes more work to get it done than i get enjoyment from it. it'd be nice if all new posts came to me in printed form or hologrphically projects windows and there was not interenet hassle to get to them. but .... there's just too many factors right now that make it hard for me to get on and do my own blog much more so to go and read everyone else's. i know i could do them one at a time like i have done, but ... too many excuses... i'm just a bad friend. oh well. here's my blog::

[LINE]

i've been sick the past week. i had the flu. it wasn't super bad, but it wasn't pleasant or fun. my mother got it about wednesday before christmas and still has it. i took her to the doctor that monday, and got sick from her at that time. i am better now. nearly completely over it, but mom had is at the clinic right now trying to see why her's hasn't gone away yet.

now the important stuff. what i got for christmas::
digicam (digital camera)
- samsung 4.0Mp
Gamecube games
- The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker
- Paper Mario (2): The Thousand Year Door (returned)
Movies
- The Chronicles of Riddick (widescreen directors cut)
- Spiderman 2 (widescreen special)
a small dresser box for keys and pocket stuff
a car trash bag thing (way cool. i need!!)
a car cell phone holder (a weird object. returned)
(from grandmother 1) a dress shirt and tie
(from grandmother 2) $50 cash
(from aunt and uncle) $30 hastings gift card

there was no memory card in the camera box like my parents thought, so i used the returned gifts and cash to me a 1Gb memory stick. very nice!! X)

i returned the cell phone holder cause my pocket or the inside door handle cut out works just fine and i'd never use it, and i really don't like it. looked weird and ugly. but the trash bag was way cool. clips to the head rest and hang on the back of the seat. mine is blue with hawaiian styled flowes.

i returned Paper Mario because i decided it just wasn't a normal Mario game. and i wouldn't enjoy it the way this game made things work.

with the gift cards i got myself a Legend of Zelda: Windwaker player's guide and Street Fighter Alpha dvd. (anime. movie.)

that's about it. i've been gone cause i was busy beforehand and then i got sick and couldn't do anything. i decided to stay down and do nothing but recouperate. i guess it worked cause i'm all better now. the past week all i did was sleep, blow my nose, watch a little tv and play lots of Windwaker!! X)

at first i really dissed that game. it looked so crappy and too much like a kids game. i didn't think i'd enjoy it or be able to get over the graphics. even before the game came out many people said the same thing and many other people said the opposite. when it came out, every person who played it said it was awesome. it was still ridiculed by many people who wouldn't even try it. i refused to play it for a long time, but i came to decide not to judge it till i played it, but i made my thoughts known about it to everyone i talked to about it. i requested it on a whim for christmas, not expecting to get it and only because it went on sale. after i got it i didn't open it for several days, contemplating taking it back with the other one. knowing it was on sale and i wouldn't loose much money opening it and not liking it, i opened it up and played it. it took me a little while to get used to it, but i am really enjoying it now.

oh yes. i shouldn't forget one of my most favorite presents of all. my Tachi. the short sword i got from Roc and Trin. i already mentioned it, but it's way cool.

thanks and goodnight.
