I am posting tonight to just bring some attention to some awesome web sites, youtube pages and just all around awesome people. These are things that are must see and made by some of the most talented people that I know. The first thing I want you to check out is:
website: http://willterrell.com/
Twitter: @willterrell
Instagram: willterrell
Will Terrell is a man who I am following on Twitter , Instagram and if he had a YouTube page then I would be subscribed to that as well. I'm assuming that Will has an actual job some where but for the most part makes these awesome sketches which I'm sure he gets paid for in some way as well. Ever since viewing this mans art and sketches I have begun to see people in the same way that he sketches them. Often times thinking to myself, "how would Will Terrell draw that person.". Followed by the image in my head and then a low chuckle once I finally have the mental image. I wish that he had a Penny-Arcade type comic that he would put these people in, I'm sure it would do very very well. Will is a person who has great talent when it comes to his style of art, I can not express to you how much I enjoy viewing what he creates. It seems now that I am just talking him up to you(the viewer), but please, if you do one thing today that is out of your normal routine. Make it viewing Will's site. You wont regret it.
Next up on the old block is a friend of mine's YouTube page. Here we go.
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/superbadfilm?feature=results_main
I have a friend that I work with named Praseut Yang. He created a YouTube page called SuperBadFilm which specializes in videos that are primarily in the Hmong language. A lot of his videos have sub-titles as well, but he does have a few that do not. Almost all of his videos deal with Hmong culture and the norms set upon them thru family traditions and what not. His YouTube page is nothing short of amazing. He has garnered over 4,000 subscribers and over a million views in the short time that Praseut has started his film company. The editing on these videos is great as well and to be honest, Praseut has given me a ton of pointers when it comes to editing the videos that I make for my YouTube page. He is a great friend and an equally great film maker. So go check out his page today, don't forget to subscribe to it and watch some of the vids. I'm sure that once you watch them you will be giving them "likes" as if they were going out of style^_^
So that's all, I feel really passionate about both of the people who I have mentioned in this blog. Both are awesome people and have been able to make something that has meaning, value and substance in a world of people doing the same thing over and over again. These pages deserve your views and you owe it to yourself to check something out that will most likely blow your mind.
Until next time.

A Schedule
So i have been thinking of some kind of a schedule for writing my blog posts, like certain days that I write something. Maybe something like Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. I don't know, like i said for now it is just an idea in my little head of heads. I'm also looking to add more pictures to this blog as well, that means that I will have to start writing more of these at home, for the most part I really only write these at work and very rarely at home, yesterday was one of those occasions. I mean, this site has so much more to offer and by only doing text based blogs with nothing but text(this sentence was redundant) I am only hurting myself. SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!!! I could even post some of my youtube videos onto this blog, unfortunately none of the ones I have made yet but once I start making legit videos that have been edited via some sort of editing software then I think we will be in business.
Speaking of videos, I have a ton of ideas video wise that I hope to be making withing the next 6 months so look out for those little bastards for sure.
Also music. It seems that I will hopefully be getting together with an old friend of mine to write some new tunes and bring back an old band of mine that I was in hella days ago called Forgotten Masterpiece. Its going to be myself(Anthony) and Tim, you probably have no idea who this band is being as you most likely don't know me so check out purevolume.com/forgottenmasterpiece because that is were the blunt of the music is at. Now, the music up on that site is not what we are going to sound like, the two of us are going to evolve it into something new and awesome(I love that word). Its going to be a new take on Forgotten Masterpiece so don't be disappointed when we sound nothing like we used to sound if you used to listen to us back in the day.
Quick question for you guys before I end this. Do you think I put enough content in these posts or should I be putting more in here? I'm talking text and picture wise, let me know what you think in the comments below.
Until next time.

Housing
My wife and I have recently been chatting about getting some land and a manufactured home for said land, this would make it our own... Or the banks until we payed off the loan. I'm excited, I have never owned a house before and revel in the fact that this is a strong possibility, this would get me out of renting which I have been doing since I was at the tender age of 18. One of the coolest things about this is that we are probably going to get at least an acre or two of land, so if I so desire I could always have a tennis/basketball court built behind the house. EPIC!!!!!!!! Once this is done I could make my two children play and practice one of the two until they are the best, I will be like Tiger Woods father or the Williams sister's father. YOU WILL PRACTICE AND YOU WILL LIKE IT^_^
I have been thinking of other things I would like to see on our land. One thing I think we need as soon as possible would be some kind of car port/cover, kind of like the metal ones that are just a foundation with exposed sides and a cover on the top. This way when it snows we do not have to dig our cars out, instead we would only have to worry about digging a space wide and long enough to reach the road.
I know this is going to sound stupid but I have had two more followers on my twitter int he last two days, this excites me. My twitter doesn't have a whole lot of people so when I get any kind of new follower I like to celebrate. This is stupid but it makes me happy.
Onto other things.
I have been playing Batman: Arkham City, it is amazing, just as amazing as everyone has been saying. This game got a perfect 10 in Game Informer and it so rightly deserved it's piece of perfection. To be honest I did not think that it was going to be this good, I was a silent nay sayer, then I played it and have almost beat it and am just flabbergasted with how amazing it is. Such a well rounded, fun and exciting game to play, this makes me ^_^

Productivity
So this morning I have been pretty productive to the point that I'm actually kind of proud of myself. I have updated some stuff on this blog and have added my YouTube channel URL and my twitter account to my "description" of me, so check that out and go to each page to see what the fuss is about.
So I recently got my Flip HD and I have to say that it is awesome, I am liking it more and more with every use. It was defiantly worth the $32 bucks that I paid for it, thanks to Best Buy I got one hell of a deal, you know what would be awesome...?
To be sponsored by Best Buy, think of all the awesome stuff you could get and the discounts, AHHHHHH.
So my son has been watching the movie Rio like crazy, I think we watch it at least four times a day, its insane. The funny thing is that i actually really like the movie so i really don't mind him watching it all day, plus its awesome to see his reaction to the scenes in the movie. PRICELESS!!!!!!!
This is all, not much and I haven't written in a couple of days. I promise to get some more variety coming soon, until then have a good one. If you don't want to read my description then you can follow me on Twitter @Aflarida and subscribe to my YouTube channel at youtube.com/theflarida so go and do both.

The Off Time(and games)
I am currently on my days off, I enjoy these times because I get to spend a hell of a lot more time with my family then I get to when I have to work. My family is my everything and the more time I have with them the more I get to bond and enjoy what we have to offer as a whole, its very good.
So, I have been getting a considerate amount of views lately, it is nice and I have to say that i enjoy it very much. I hope that whoever is coming here and reading these blogs is able to take something from them, even if its just a couple of laughs or even if you think they suck, oh well. Anyways, thank you to all of you who have been coming here, it means a lot.
So i have been paying attention to some indie game developers lately. Some of them are actually pretty cool people trying to make a living doing what they love to do, I think that they should be getting more attention then what they get. So if you come here to read my blog then you need to check out a game called Legends of Yore, you can buy it at http://www.legendsofyore.com/ or you can get it on your iPhone as well, either way it is an amazing game. To best describe it, its an 8-bit dungeon crawler with Diablo like features, not as many but you can still see and feel the resemblance, needless to say I have been playing like crazy. Also on a side note, the creator of the game is a super nice guy, you can get to know him a little better buy following him on Twitter @cokeandcode you will not be disapointed.
Mojang Studios makes a great game called Minecraft, if you haven't heard about it yet then you have been living under a rock which has been under an even bigger rock. You can check them out and Minecraft at http://www.minecraft.net/, so do it. Follow these guys on Twitter @carlmanneh @jeb_ @Kappische @JahKob @mollstam @minecraftnews and @notch
Next up is a game called Terraria, oh my lanta, this is a game I have been playing like a mad man and am feverishly waiting for the next update to come forth. Really though, I want it now, like RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! This game is initially Minecraft in a 2D setting but it integrates so much more from other games like Castlevania(plat forming and weapons), Megaman(boss fights) and Action RPG's(battle system and item buying/inventory). You can check out their website at http://www.terrariaonline.com, I personally own their game off of the steam network, as of now I have no idea if you can get them from another site, but really, go get it now, you will not regret it. Follow these guys on Twitter @Tiyuri @Demilogic @confuzzledyma and @Terraria_Logic
So i guess this blog turned in to me giving you some ideas about awesome games. Your welcome ^_^

Musical Interests Part 1
So as of latley I have been listening to a couple of new bands/artists, I just thought I should share them with you considering how awesome they are.
Memphis May Fire-This band is Amazing, the lead singer's voice is just epic, his screams are insane and his vocals are clean and georgous. These guys are more of a Hardcore feel with melodic melodies but they deffenitly need to be checked out by everyone. One of the best things about this band is the deep meaning lyrics. I've been in a couple bands and have written all of the lyrics for said bands, but this lead singer's lyrics are of a caliber that I have never seen before. Just heart felt lyrics that hit you where it counts, this is the first band that I actually cared to see what the lyrics were just so I could connect with the song in a better way. Kudos to the gentlemen in this band, cause they are definetly doing something right in a music scene that has so much wrong in it.
Ellie Goulding-Im usually not much of a female vocolist fan, but oh my God here voice is amazing and different and just beautiful. Not to mention she is pretty good looking herself ;) But that is beside the point, the point here is that she is an awesome musician(She can actually play guitar as well). Thanks to my wife I have been listening to her non stop for the last two days. Now back to her voice. Its unique in the best way possible, its unlike any voice I have ever heard before, I guess if you were to compare her to someone it would be kind of like Regina Specktre in a way. Then you hear the music she is singing and it sounds equally amazing, so different and original, just what the doctor ordered. So check her out as well.
The Recieving End of Sirens-I have never heard or seen a band with three guitarist and three vocolist be as amazing as these guys are. You would think that this wouldn't work out at all but these guys find a way to make it work and work wonderfully at that. The only down side is that they have been broken up for about two or three years now so there is no more live shows by these guys, but their music should still be checked out and appreciated. Its original, its fantastic and I could listen to it for hours, not a song from them that I have yet to not like in any way, shap or form. On a side note, one of their guitarist is in a band now called The Deer Hunter, check them out as well. I have seen them live and they were awesome as well.
Thats all the bands that I have for you today, maybe I will make this a reacuring topic along with my Powers topic as well, hmmmmmmmm. We will have to see, until then I guess this will be a part 1. Also, please follow me on Twitter @Aflarida, its the only social site I am on, its kind of random when I post a tweet but they are usually pretty good^_^ Until Next time. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!

My Sharona
Im not entirly sure that I even spelt that right in the title, oh well.
How is everyone tonight???
So I played softball tonight for a friends team that needed a player. Before this story goes any further I would like to say that I am a very competitive and athletic person, I may not look like it but I love sports and playing sports competitivly. With that said, here are some of the note worthy things that happened.
1. My first at bat resulted in me tripping over my own feet right before I got to the base and then slidding across the dirt for about two feet. Needless to say, it was absolutly hillarious in my opinion. I felt bad for the guy who was playing first base on the other team cause he had thought that he tripped me, I reassured him it was not him but my own clumsiness. I now have some nice scrapes on my right arm, leftleg and my back.
2. My second at bat resulted in me over swinging and looking like a fool, kind of like in the old looney toons cartoons where they would swing and spin so much that they would go into the dirt. I felt like that. The upside, even with doing that I still managed to make it on base, BOO YAH!!!!!!!!!!
3. I totally missed a pop fly that came right into my glove, ugh. Thats all there is to that one.
I have to say that I had a great time, I love sports and playing sports but I really dont get to do this kind of thing very often, so when I do I try to make it as awesome of an experience as I can. This is the kind of thing I wish I could do more. To kind of feul my competitive drive I have been taking a tennis class but it still isnt enough, I need a sport with people in it who can make me strain and actually try hard.
One more thing before I go, I have a twitter account and it is currently the only social networking site that I am on(Not a big Facebook guy) until Google+ sends me my freaking invite. My name on there is @Aflarida so if you have a twitter as well then follow me and I will follow your crazy face back.
