So, I am sitting here watching Indie Game: The Movie and playing FarmVille 2 while drinking a beer. To be honest, I am a bit bored. This movie is actually really good, gives you a great insight on how the people developing these games feel during their process of making a game from scratch, the middle of it, the end product and all the shit that happens in between those three things. The thoughts from the men in this movie are what intrigue me the most, the human aspect of not wanting to fail makes this movie a great movie. All of the gentlemen in this movie have their hearts on their sleeves the whole time. You are seeing a piece of them that only the closest people in their lives get to see, in retrospect...
you are seeing who they really are.
I'm loving it and in some way feel that I am connecting with them in some minute way, I know how they feel, they seem like people who I would get along with, people who are kindred spirits and I like that.
So onto the other thing that I mentioned at the top of this blog. FarmVille 2 ugh.
I'm playing it right now as we speak, waiting for a dame got to finish it's allotted time limit so that I can harvest the milk from it's life giving tit because I have a challenge to finish with the milk that it gives, I NEED IT!!! Zynga has once again found a way to make a horribly addicting game that will most likely draw in every house mom in the country and slowly suck the life out of all of them. Something interesting has happened though and if I remember correctly Zynga recently has filed for bankruptcy and closed down their studios. I feel bad for the people who worked there, the people who coded and did the art for it and just put all this time and effort into these games and who are now out of a job. I hope that some how they will rise out of the ashes that were once Zynga these people can make something else, something awesome and something that I would someday want to play.
I think that I have babbled enough in this post, to be honest I feel strange and not really like my chipper self. I'm off now, bey.

Warrior
So, I just finished the movie Warrior. Wow. Movie was so amazing and epic. Such a great story, drama, passion, suspense, action and pure emotion. Warrior had it all. At least two or three times during the movie I wanted to cry due to two brothers fighting with everything they had and a son having to console his drunken father. Damn, this movie had everything a great movie should have. Hands down one of my top five favorite movies of all time, HANDS DOWN!!!!! I have to get this movie on Blu-Ray now, I would imagine that the special features that come with the movie would be just as epic as the movie itself, I want to know everything about this movie.
On a semi related note...
I love special features that come with the movie's I buy.
That is another reason why i generally only buy Blu-Ray's as well, they tend to come with a bit more in the special features department then a DVD does. Take Forgetting Sarah Marshal for example. The DVD had some awesome special features, however, the Blu-Ray had all of the DVD's special features along with like eight more things attached to it like a sing along with Infant Sorrow's songs.
Now back to Warrior.
If you haven't seen it yet then watch it as soon as possible, you will not regret it.

How Have you Been?^_^
Well, it's been a while since I have written a blog, so I have decided to change that and finally write one today. I am feeling the inspiration.
So as of lately I have been focusing more on my youtube page which is youtube.com/theflarida
I recently bought an editing software as well to further my videos along and have been trying to make them better in quality and comedy. Not to mention I have also been doing vlog's which are fun but to be honest are incredibly boring, I'm not really sure how people make money off of doing vlog's but some how they do. I have also been doing some Modern Warfare 3 game play and commentary which is fun but sometimes they can just drag on due to the game and map you are playing. I'm not a big fan of just releasing a video of me talking and eight minutes of game play going. The thing I am really trying to do is find a way to make all of this stuff work while trying to find my own way and style to make these videos in a way that will make them stand out and garner some sort of attention. So that's what I have been doing lately.
But most importantly...

Boxes
and Boxes and Boxes and Boxes...
That is how my day is going to go tomorrow, one box after the other full of stuff that my wife, kids and I have acquired over the past two years. The goal for tomorrow is going to be six boxes, should be pretty easy to say the least, it's just a boring task, not to mention repetitive. The big move with a moving van and all that jazz should be happening on March 21st, that one is going to be exciting and sucky at the same time, at least after that is done there will only be one more thing to do. That thing is clean the damn house and be done with it, drop it like a bad habit. I'm sure my wife and I will have a splendid time cleaning that damn house, hopefully I can get my parents to watch our boys so we can just knock out all of the cleaning in a timely manner.
Over the years I have learned that no matter how much you clean and what not, the property management or the actual landlord will just have it professionally done anyways. Thus taking more money out of the deposit that you originally paid to get in said house. The other thing is that 8/10 times the landlord or property management will try to F you over as much as they can. It's almost like it's their goal to make sure that you get the least amount as possible with them doing the least amount of work as possible. For example; the property management that we go thru has it in our contract that we can have the carpets done professionally on our own at our own expense which sucks balls. Or they can do it themselves, but here is where they get you, and this is actually in our contract mind you. They will charge $100 dollars just to call a company to come and clean the carpets. That's right folks, we get charged $100 F-ing dollars for them to make a five to ten minute phone call. What kind of shit is that! I wouldn't be surprised if they had a "most money taken from a deposit" contest and they are always trying to break the highest amount. Now I want to know what it is, maybe the person who gets the most out of a deposit gets a bonus at the end of the year. I hope our person wins.
So, what I was trying to get at before I went off the deep end is this.
Your landlord and/or property management doesn't not want to give that deposit back, they will take as much as they can from it. That is a FACT!!!!! Remember these words of wisdom.
Good bey.

A New Job
Just as the title of this blog implies, I have accepted a new job at another casino that is located in Coarsegold CA. The casino is called Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino and I have been given the job of Slot Floor Supervisor. I am very excited to start this new job, we are going to be moving thanks to this job offer as well, most likely to Oakhurst CA which will bring us a lot closer to both of our parents. The job at this new casino is a lot like the one I have been doing at Black Oak Casino with the exception of me being inside the cage, this time I am out on the casino floor for my whole eight hours. I used to do a job similar to the one I have gotten, being on the casino floor is a lot of fun, I get to interact with all the guests and the other employees. I'm looking forward to this very very much.
Now on to other stuff.
I have been playing this again,
Although it has been a while so I have been using the wiki a lot more then I probably should lol, but either way I'm happy i'm back to playing this game. I've also got it for my iphone so I've been taking advantage of that outlet as well as my computer.
You know what, lets do some quickie news, BYAHHHHHH!!!!!!
We have been watching Ponyo a whole lot in our house due to my 2 year old loving it with all of his heart. To be honest it's actually a great movie and most of the time I don't mind watching the movie with him.
My grandma is sick with the stomach flu, poor lady. I wanted to take the family to see her today but she said no. Lets hope that she gets better soon.
I was messing with my wife's facebook earlier since she left her profile logged in when I got onto our laptop, so this is what i wrote in her status. "I go poo poo in my pee pee pants when I do the scoopy dance. Bleep bloop boopity doo". She was only semi amused by this.

A Small Milestone
Hello everyone,
Today I just looked at my views and saw that I have finally broke the 1,000 blog views mark. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but it is to me and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who comes to this blog and reads the nonsense that I write. I enjoy writing this blog even though i don't always write everyday and sometimes take a week off at a time but I'm still doing it and hopefully your still reading it. So keep on reading, keep on enjoying and I will promise to keep writing, oh and to put more pictures up here since it is kind of rare that I do that.
So once again, thank you everyone.
Until next time.

Tags
I have been thinking about this for a while now and have been wanting to write a blog post about the "tags" that you are allowed to put at the end of every blog. These tags are supposed to pertain to your blog, like the topic of it and any related key words. You are allowed to have 20 words to use as tags so you have to choose those words wisely. Lately I have been guilty of putting words in this section that do not pertain to my blog at all due to seeing that certain words will bring traffic to the blog. I try to monitor my stats as much as possible and see where my traffic is coming from, why they are coming and what tags brought them to my site. I have noticed that the words face and game will usually bring some people to the site since they seem to be popular search words. But lately I have been thinking of new words to put in that could maximize my traffic. Now, I know that this in its own way is cheating, but isn't the point of a blog to have people view it. I mean we are sometimes writing for ourselves but why would we put our thoughts and Ideas on the Internet if we did not want someone to view them, right?
Another reason why I try to maximize my traffic is to get my "Monetize" option open, I would someday like this blog or any other site I own to produce some sort of profit. If not for all of my everyday bills and life then maybe just a little extra spending money. It would be nice to say I have a site that produces some sort of profit, extra money is always a good thing. Actually the dream is to make a site that gets as big as the Penny Arcade site, that is the dream and the goal I am always reaching for. Someday maybe I will get there, until then, I will just keep trying.
Any thoughts to this topic? Chime in with a comment at the bottom of this blog or if you have any advice then chime in as well. Later.

Limitless
Just got done watching Limitless, holly shit that was a good movie, if it wasn't for a friend at work telling me to watch it I wouldn't have given it a try. I know this is going to sound hella gay but Bradley Cooper is a beast, I think I have a man crush but then I remember him from Wedding Crashers and it goes away. Anyways, I'm getting off track here. Go watch Limitless, its on Netflix so if you have that then watch it there, if not then find it somewhere on the internet for free or go to Blockbuster, DO IT!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, here is a random picture of me taken a couple of days ago.
I started up a mage in Skyrim. I've decided to just try different classes now to really see which ones I like and which ones I do not. Not to mention that there are so many different kinds of characters that you can make that it gets kind of ridiculous but oh well, I'm going to make this shit legit...
TO LEGIT TO QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my lanta, I've got nothing left, I cant think of anything to write so I guess this is it for today, sorry for the short blog. Maybe next time I will make it bigger. I'm going to leave you with a picture, ENJOY.

Reply(Comment from last post)
Just wanted to thank whoever(I wish I knew who you were) commented on my last blog, to be honest that was awesome advice, I will definitely take this and run with it. Also on a side note, you are the first person to ever comment once of my blogs so thank you for that as well. If you want to see what this person wrote then check out my last blog, I guess it is good advice for anyone wanting to blog and they don't really seem to have a general direction that their blog is going.
On to other things and stuff.
My Tennis class is almost up and we took our final today(yeah, a final in tennis). That may have been the easiest test I have ever taken, if someone were to hypothetically fail that test then I am sure that our teacher would probably not want to teach ever again. Come to think of it, I wonder if anyone has ever failed his test, I will have to ask him about this. We are also doing skills testing which is serve, for hand return, back hand return, slam and volleys. Once again these are pretty easy as well. I have always been good at sports, not the best but a quick learner so this class has been a complete breeze thus far. In fact the only reason why I have taken this class was to ensure that I get a better registration date for the spring semester since the two classes I will be taken(I think Math and Earth Science) generally fill up pretty quickly.
The funny thing about taking all of these classes now is that if I would not have been such a retard when I was originally going to school and would have pulled my head out of my ass I would not be going to school right now. I would already have my AS in Business and be finishing up my Bachelors Degree. I'm not complaining but I do think it is kind of funny, I do know that if I could tell my past self something it would be to get that shit done and maybe scare him in some way to ensure that he would in fact "get er done"! Hopefully when I am done with my AS it will open some doors to help me further the education and to maybe find something different to do for a living. We will just have to wait and see.
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim comes out in three days...
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never been excited to play an Elder Scrolls game but this time I am. From what I have read it seems that they fixed the things that I did not like about the last game ie. having to sleep to level up, not directly telling where the skills people are and a better third person view. Now that those things are gone I am pretty sure that I am going to like and or love this game, if I don't then I will feel retarded for spending money on this game. But I have hyped it up so much that I have a feeling that I will be playing it for a long long time, if not forever, well maybe not forever but I think that you get my drift.
I don't usually ask questions for my readers but are there any games coming up that you are excited for, if so write them in the comments done below. Lets get into a nerdy game talk.

Adsense(Disabled)
Hi everyone, its been a week or two since I have written anything on this blog and there is a reason...
My FUCKING adsense got disabled!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't even done anything and the best part is that there was no explanation waht so ever other than this.
The account associated with publisher ID ca-pub-5640368694994429 has been disabled. Learn more
What the fuck is this?!?!?! Learn More? how bout an explanation like...
"you dont get enough views" or, "you dont have enough followers" or, you dont qaulify do to..."
instead it send me to a learn more page that gives me a ton of options that it might be and still doesn't give me the exact reason why. I didn't really even expect to make much, maybe a dollar a month if that, now I have to call their supoort line and deal with that crap. UGH, those are some first world problems for you right^_^
On to other things that are not me ranting about nonsense and things that dont matter what so ever.
So I have been regulary posting videos on my you tube at youtube.com/theflarida
So far they have onyl been vlog's but I am currently in the process of looking for a good editing program so that i can make videos with actual content and function. I think I will still record with my Fip HD until i can afford a nice camera or at least a nice regular camera that still does good enough qaulity video. I have a bunch of ideas in my head and am looking to bring them to everyone, look forward to something fun, new and most importantly awesome. Go to my youtube page and friend me/subscribe so that you can keep up to date with what I am doing visually.
Thats really all I have for today.

Adsense!!!!!!!!!!!!(Explanation)
You may notice that I now have ad's on my page, now before any one freaks out or maybe even takes offense to this let me explain. I am doing this so that I can make some money on the side, I work full time and would always like some extra income for things and stuff(BILLS!!!)
Now I know that this will take a while and I am being realistic here. Currently I really don't get a whole lot of traffic to my blog, in fact this month has been my personal best for views with a whopping 174 views. My ad-sense will most likely only generate a very very small revenue stream for now, but I am thinking about the future with this, if I keep at this and continue to improve on this site/blog and get more involved and have better ways to advertise the value that i earn will in fact increase(Hopefully). So if this does make you mad in any way I just want to say sorry and that you will have to deal with it in whatever way you see fit^_^
Well, that's all i had for this, just wanted to update on this decision that I have made. Until then, everyone have a wonderful time.

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.

Not Really What I Want
With every day that passes I realize more and more that what I am doing currently job wise in my life is not what I want at all. In fact I'm pretty sure I am starting to hate it which sucks, in no way shape or form do I want to hate the job I am tasked to do day in and day out. But it is happening and it seems that there is really nothing that I can do about it, regardless. What I do know I want to do is start up a business, which I am int he process of writing up the business plan for, but its going to take time. I'm going to go by what people say, good things come to those that wait, right?
Anyways, on to other less depressing things.
I have been music starved lately, I NEED it and I NEED it now...NOW!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting for my Flip HD to come in the mail, well actually to be more accurate to arrive at the Best Buy that I chose for it to go to. Once I get this key piece of equipment I will be posting some acoustic videos of my band and I that way we can at least be doing something other then doing nothing. In fact I plan on doing other things with this camera, like actual videos, funny videos, serious videos and all of the other genre's that I did not just mention. I'm pretty sure that I will even start up a Vlog on the youtube channel I already have, I'm not going to post the URL to that yet but once I have more stuff on there I will post the URL and the people who visit this blog can go and check it out.
Well, that's all for today, sorry it took me so long to write up a new blog, I will try to write more often this coming week.

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 ^_^

Settings
So while at home today I was tweaking with the settings of this blog and just checking out other people's blogs as well, seeing if there were any interesting blogs to follow. I did find one and I followed it but then the rest of the blogs Blogger was showing me were all about running these insane marathons of like 50k runs, WHAT!!!!! Then I come to find out that you can follow yourself which I found out by accidentally following myself, this makes me laugh. I currently have one follower, and that follower is me, priceless.
I have also been trying to figure out how to change my layout, the person that I followed today had such an awesome and cool layout that I have to admit that I am a bit envious of them.
Another thing I have been doing with this blog is trying to increase the amount of views that I get in a day, the cool thing is that they have been increasing. From none to a little rofl. I'm trying to think of other avenues to hit up and to use as a promotion for this blog without getting in the way of someone else's site and using them as my catalyst for views. That's one thing I hate, I used to do that when I was in a band, we would post our links and what not on other wildly successful bands comments and then reap the page views from them, it was such a vulturous way of going about it that it left me feeling a little dirty at time^_^ Not to mention we did piss off some of those bands.
One thing I do like about Blogger is that its simple and that it seems like more a of a legit blogging site as opposed to a blogging social network where people or more worried about re-posting the same shit over and over again just cause it is trendy and cool. That's not how this should work. That reason along with many others is why I no longer have a TUMBLR. It was crap, nothing but younger kids who do not have a shred of originality and just see it as a way to be cool and trendy and not post any thing original that they thought of themselves or a picture that they actually took themselves. Instead resorted to thieving other's pictures and posts and pretending that it was their own, it was FUCKING ridiculous to say the least.
In the long run I feel this is the correct site for me, I feel like it keeps my originality without having to compromise with a shitty blogging site that no longer wants to be a blogging site but a crappy social network.
