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.

Videos/Moving
I've been trying to make more content for my youtube page(youtube.com/theflarida) latley and it's going a little slower then I expected. However I have been enjoying the content that I have been putting out, I have also been paying attention to other people's pages as well. Im kind of trying to get an idea for trends and other things that I think my demographic would enjoy seeing from me. As of right now I am only putting out vlogs and Modern Warfare 3 gameplay, the hard part is trying to do something witht hose two that have not been done yet. So many people are doing the same thing that i am doing that sometimes it makes it hard to come up with some fresh ideas. But, I am still trying and am satisfied with what I am putting out, I just have to find a way to put out content on a more consistent basis. I know I have touched on this before but I am still working on getting some editing software so that i can eventually make actual videos that have substance, story and some comedy in them. It's coming, I promise.
Onto other news.
We finally got the keys to our new place in Oakhurst, we went down Friday and payed the first months rent and put some boxes inside the place. Now to do the big huge move that I am definetly not looking forward to in any way shape or form, trust me, it's going to suck. I dont mind moving persay, but when it comes to the physical act of "moving", well that's when I start to not like it. Luckily I have a bunch of friends who can help out with the move so that should make it less of a chore and more of a fun thing to do. Who knows, maybe we can have a big going away party in the empty house that we are moving from, that would be pretty awesome.
Another thing.
I want to find musicians to play some music with. That is all.

The Most Awesome Thing
So, if you have read my post on the PS3 game Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning then you already know all of the troubles I have been having with it. Well, I made a youtube video showcasing what has been happening to me and posted it on the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning facebook page. Well guess what? They commented on that post saying they were sorry for the trouble's I was having and also posted a link that I could go to so that I could post the video in their forums in hope's of it getting fixed by the dev's. Oh my lantis, this issue was pissing me off due to the fact that i actually really like this game a lot, it's fun, plays great and looks amazing. What they did has totally redeemed 38 Studios in my mind. Instead of ignoring me they helped me out, submitted my problem and showed me where I could submit my problem. They were totally kind and understanding of what was going on. 38 Studios has made a lifetime fan out of me, I will always buy there game's because they are fun and now I know how far they are willing to go for their fans and customers. I just wanted to post an update to the problem I was having, that's really all this post is, it's also a thank you to 38 Studios.
Until next time.
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.

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.
