well, I owe everyone a hello! and finally, the big news about my hiatus and what is going on with my laptop situation.
You all know the story, I'm sure. I've only been complaining about it for 4 months now ahah. My hard drive randomly crashed in December. Winter quarter started for me and I didn't have time or money to go get it looked at. I feared for the worst for so long that soon I just sort of let everything go in peace. I was FINALLY able to take it in to a professional last week, and sure enough, the hard drive is no more...meaning everything on it is gone. Its a bit sad, considering I lost a lot of unfinished projects and all of my editing material. Be that as it may, I have decided to use this as a way to embark on a clean slate. I have a ton of fresh ideas brewing and I'm stoked to start editing once again!
The plan of action is not to get my old laptop fixed, but to go ahead and get a new one. I don't see the value in fixing a laptop that broke down within the first year of its life. Plus, it's already out-dated and laptop's now are much cheaper than they were when I bought mine.
I can't guarantee that this purchase will happen in the near future. I have to think about the money part of it too. So far I'm working my ass off saving for Coachella in April, as well as my car, and living in general....bills and what not. So I'm not exactly sure how long it will be until I am editing again.
Which brings me to my hiatus... I'm technically still on it, so I won't be partaking in any mep's, collabs, or any of my own projects. But I AM editing for Clannad right now...I'm using vegas on my mom's computer....she would slice me if she knew, she's convinced it will reek havoc on the condition of her dinosaur laptop. But I don't plan to do any heavy duty editing with it. I just wanted to keep CTAS flowing, and it wouldn't be fair to expect Shadowfoxx85 to do all of the editing himself lol.
Speaking of which...expect a new episode out in the next few weeks!!
Le sigh. I will be deleting any projects that I had listed on YT. Its quite depressive, but I'm not letting it get me down. There's always a chance to recreate.
I want to thank all of you for being so patient and loyal. I know you're all subscribed to my YT account to see my work, and sadly I haven't been able to pour my soul into anything new for a long while.... But I am so excited to start off fresh! I want to explore new styles of editing and different genres of music. I want to really express myself. I also want to start working with RL footage and pursuing other forms of editing.
I'm looking forward to it.
In the mean time, I love you all and will let you guys know when I'm off hiatus!

left hook;i didnt see you coming.
My dears, its been so very long since I updated here, so I sat down with some tea to say hello.
Much has been going on in the past month. My online class is going well...I'm trying my best to pass so I can finally move to math 99.... Oh bother!
I finally got my snowboarding season started....a bit late in January, but better late than never. I live in the great Northwest, so its not difficult to travel to and from major mountains. Frankly, I'm in love with it all over again.
Oh the many get togethers with friends and the experiences of my 20th year. It's been so fun. Despite the lowly dark skies and the bitter winter weather, I've come to harbor a new respect for the winter months. I've been having a really great time, and have had the chance to resolve new confidence in myself. I'm looking forward to everything now, and my stresses has softened.
Recently, I've gotten huge news that I'll be receiving a couple thousand dollars from social security due to an injury my dad had back in 07. He was unable to pay child support during my last year and a half of high school, so I am now getting all the money in my name! This is nothing short of wonderful, because now I can afford a down payment on a car! My mom has recently gotten a break too and we're finally able to pay off some bills and live a bit more comfortably. This doesn't mean, however, that I can rest easier. I still need to finish my AA, which will take another year or so for me since I slacked off a bit in school in 09. Despite the fact that I'm a Sophomore in college, I still need to complete 2 more math courses after my current one, complete 3 lab sciences, 2 more social sciences, and a large portion of humanities and electives.
I'll be submerging myself in school for the next year, I suppose. Its rather difficult to fathom, seeing as school and I have never mixed well. But with my lovely VW Golf, a good person at my side, and many good times ahead, I can't really complain.
My laptop! I've said this many times and I'm sure you're tired of hearing it...it's still out of order. But on the contrary, a good friend of mine has offered to take a look at it! And perhaps salvage my data, if possible. We've been planning on getting together to do this for a week or two now, but something seems to come up each time.. If we never get around to it, I'll be taking it in to some professionals. Although my times away from editing have been really good for me, I'm really beginning to miss it. I'll be sitting at home listening to my ipod, and inspiration will strike and I have to write down my ideas. I have so much planned! I really want to expand my editing, and cover all genres of music. The videos that I have posted on youtube hardly brush the surface of my muses. I adore indie music, but I'm also in love with r&b and some rap..and metal! Ohh baby. And the techno revolution has taken everything by storm, hasn't it? I just want to cover everything and have a lot of fun. I truly am looking forward to it.
Even if I can't save my files...which would mean losing one of my very important project...I still have a ton of fresh projects to band-aid that loss!
So not to fret, I haven't stopped my editing. Warmhearted Productions has been something very special to me and I'm still faithful to it.
I miss you all, but I am still online! You can find me on skype, and sometimes on msn. I still voice act for certain projects....and we just completed CTAS's 3rd script! I have high hopes for this episode. We're starting to find our grounds and develop the characters well. I enjoy playing Nagisa so much. Look forward to seeing some new faces and voice talents! Recording has begun, and shadowfoxx85 and I will BOTH will be editing. How is this possible? He was kind enough to lend me his version of vegas. I discreetly downloaded it to my mother's computer...I'm hoping she won't notice too much lol. I won't be editing videos with this vegas, its merely a temp to help with Clannad.
I've been thinking about starting a separate blog, one that touches on other aspects. I know...quite random...but I can't help but wonder what would come of my writings if I were to dig further. We'll see won't we? I won't stop writing in this blog, but there's a lot I'd rather not discuss here that I would feel more open discussing on an anonymous level.
If I haven't bored you to tears yet, thanks for reading <3 Sasquatch 2010 in May! It will be the 29th, 30th, and 31st. Everyone needs to join me!! Major line ups from amazing bands.
SASQUATCH.
Love <3
