First Job

2006-01-16T19:25:00.000-05:00

Well folks, this is my first job for RJR. it came out in the papers island wide sunday and monday. tell me what you think!

Things looking up... or are they?

2006-01-09T22:35:00.000-05:00

Well folks, i have found myself a golden opportunity. RJR, rather, multimedia Jamaica called me up and said hey we want u to be a part of us. Not on their permanent staff yet but they will send jobs to me and keep me flexible. How great is that? All i need to do is complete this first job. The first job is i need to design a full page ad for Sunday observer for the Junior School's Challenge Quiz. I feel it is a great honour and they dealt with the matter very businesslike. they looked at me not as a 18 year old youngster but as a person, a talented graphic designer in who confidence was not even a question, seeing as its my job to produce good results. So its just up to me now to make a wonderful impression. So while im listening to ma Sizzla, im feeling semi good.

On the sad note tho, ma girl feels like shit cuz im not taking care of her. i wont speak much about that but i can only be in a semi good mood because of this. and it kills me 2 see her sad.

Well right now im just looking for inspiration from anything i can. i always get this aggitated when i start working. i start to think im going over my head and i cant do it and i made a mistake. but when i start to work, the ideas just flow so im just going to get a good nights rest and hope that when i wake everything will be fine.

The delima of Web Design

2005-12-19T18:15:00.000-05:00

its sad when u come to realisation that in the world of web design you are at the bottom of the foodchain. and when u try to equip urself with the knowledge, u realise that there is a whole world out there, u have many hurdles to overcome before u can call urself anything near a web designer. it is sort of discouraging....

I dont know what to do cuz i want to do it, but its so much work and i have no classes 2 go 2 or anything. bummer. i need some help. anyone out there wanna help me?

I have css locked, xhtml, some javascript but thats it. hardly enough to make a fully functional website huh? sigh

My Phone exploits

2005-12-15T14:50:00.000-05:00

Well i dont think i told you so here goes: I LOVE CELLPHONES!!! they are great and many people around me say stupid things like: "i cant buy no phone for no J$30,000" and crap like that but they are not seeing that phones can be a crucial tool in any techie/business person's life. i currently have a 3 phones. My oldest one is the Motorola V620. that one is just for the flashy lifestyle, goin out and wanna look bazzle (term used to mean wicked cool). it doesnt have much that i want except the mp3 ringtones, the great camera and the 256k screen resolution.

The next phone i have, i am kind of dissapointed with it. for 1 i was overcharged for it, it was second hand. i should have paid something like 5 or 6k for it, instead i paid 9k.. and that alone is pushing me 2 sell it back cuz i juss cant deal with this dissapointment... its a nokia ngage btw (dont think i mentioned the name :D). that phone i wanted with so much vigor cuz it has symbian series 60. for a long time ive been wanting a phone that i can use 2 carry around my pdfs, read them on the road and such and i had found one. plus it had an mp3 player, fm player and expansion via mmc. those three coupled with symbian series 60... equals a great phone for tech enthusiasts.

The last phone that i have is what i will be keeping for a while to come. the previous two are soon to be one i can assure you. the flashy lifestyle isnt me for now and i dont want a phone that keeps reminding me of how much i was robbed so those have 2 go. the v620 for 16k and the ngage for 8k (negotiable). The third phone i have now is the Nokia 6620. a great phone. i got a deal and i couldnt refuse... i had to get it! it has the same features as the ngage and more. it is a way later model so the screen resolution is much better and it has a camera/video recorder... COOOL!!! minus the fm player i think it was a worthy trade for the camera. so i can have the fun of a camera and the fun of features in one phone instead of the previous two. me and ma 6620 are gonna be very good friends in time to come.

Add your Story - An AnimeSynergy Production

2005-11-25T19:57:00.000-05:00

Wow. yeah folks been out for a while but im back.... yeah im back. what a couple of weeks ive been having! exams here projects there.. damn. But im on top of ma game, nothing got me down yet im still a fighter. thats all i saying about that. when im not at school, its not one of my favourite things. I want to start something new. Since the site called Anime Synergy, that i have been talking about for ages, has not been visited by you yet... im going to give you something from the site, to kind of wet your appetite. Its a thread i participate it called Add Your Story. Users come on, read the story get an idea of where its goin and then write the direction they think the story should take. the ultimate fun in it is when ideas all coincide and make a great story! so from time to time i will post excerpts from the story. if you like, you should check the site out HERE. So here goes:

*****How it works****
Add your piece of the story.
Rule: It must somehow link to the previous post- though you can take it to any direction you want to. ***

Begin:

It was a dark day and I just knew how lame it was going to be. She always seems to choose these types of days to do the thing I hate the most.
I stretched lazily physically preparing myself for another one of 'those' episodes.

Next User(ME :D ):
She rang the doorbell and i lazily descended the stairs and out to the verandah to let her in. she had a broad smile on her face, i couldnt care less. "Hey baby" she said. "Yo, whats up?", "you gonna let me in?". Silence. "sure" i said and reluctantly stepped aside to let her pass, her fragrance caressing my senses with its female charm as she glided by, the faculties her body that i find so irresistably attractive playing a rythm on my mind. I didnt want any before, but i want some now....

More Soon... you could always go 2 the site and see for yourself

Challenges, challenges

2005-11-12T12:20:00.000-05:00

Hey everybody,

Soon get back to my regular blogging ways but since recently i have been quite busy. Yeah i go 2 school, university and i have groupwork projects to hand in and tests to do. so when all those are done, it will be back to ace blogger mode for me! Exams or none i have been keeping up to date with the latest bleach and naruto manga and anime, i am so waiting till next weeks bleach release (anime), its gonna be grrreat!

Well anyway, even though i have 3 group assignments it seems its just me working on them. the group pulled a fast one on me and submitted one of the assignments with me totally unaware they were even doing it. quite lame cuz now i cant learn from what was done, and i never understood the topic from the start so sucks for me and the test next week.

The programming project is good, its a console thing so dont expect any cool gui. i will show u pics when its done, fully done. so that leaves the website. they say i need to use css (which over these past few weeks i have become very good at, i mean, look what i did 2 this sits) and javascript with xhtml transitional. i am so going to rape that project i have ideas flowing through my head, its crazy.

Anywho, i need to get back 2 work have alot of tasks to accomplish today like actually learning javascript. catch you later all

DOOM

2005-10-31T12:01:00.000-05:00

The movie Doom is a must see for all first person shooter fans, psyops fans or half life fans, you will be thrilled. The story takes place in the near future, a group of archeaologists are researching on mars where they believe was previous life.

The movie starts with a tragic massacre and a strike team is called in to save all research data and investegate. The rock is the sargeant of the team, how cool is that? The team comprises of two black people, i think that is a great improvement, though they were minor characters.. and then the other obvious outcome which i am too unhappy to mention. All team members of The rocks group have some story whether freaky (and some are really freaky) or not.

So they are transported to mars in a pretty unusual way, viewers will find this part quite mind-bending cuz its so damn hard to explain! Anyway the team finds out there is more that is being done on mars than just digging, experiments on humans are taking place. The primary protagonists a brother and sister survive through the entire ordeal and the movie makers choose to base the substancial, emotion part of the movie around them, the rock is pure carnage... sort of like rambo... favourite quote "Big F@#$ing Gun".

The movie never ceases to entertain as there is a special exciting surprise for fps gamers. In the end it was down to one great fight and i wont say much about it but ill say this: the fps gamers had their fun and so did the rock (and wrestlers). Finally, if you're looking for a movie with meaningless carnage and a below average plot with explanation...(sounds alot like the game, doesnt it?) Doom is your movie. See it as soon as you can!!

What i have been up to #2

2005-10-27T13:52:00.000-05:00

Hey all,
Im in the process or learning CSS, i already been through Xhtml. it feels good when you are learning something. I plan to take this knowledge all the way, Ajax is my target, any assistance, links and such would be appreciated, thanks much.

I did not know you could go into the forums and get a scanlated unofficial version of the naruto manga!!, well i am going that now so lets hope they are worth it tho. If you havent all received the memo, Animesynergy.com is the place to be. You can talk about almosty everything, just dont mind the language, thats how us Jamaicans reason.

Ill be going back to css soon but before that id like to ask the world a question... I dont own a car, so i dont drive, i dont plan to be driving anytime soon. I want a tool that will enable me to read my pdfs on the go, write my code, play some music here and there, take pictures, surf websites.. is it wiser at this point in time to get a high end phone, or a high end laptop? thanks in advice for your comments

What have i been up to?

2005-10-25T10:53:00.000-05:00

Bleach Manga Release

2005-10-22T12:04:00.000-05:00

Hey All,

The Latest Bleach manga chapter 200 is out. you can give it a download at bleach7.com or you can follow the link at the bottom of my page (the nifty little bleach7 button). Naruto still dissapoints with having 2 chapters pile up, fret not, it has been worse. Check out the manga ppl, im out.

Strange news on Naruto

2005-10-21T14:04:00.000-05:00

Well i have news for you. I am feeling quite upset but i am not sure if u think it is good news or bad news. i am taking this info from Narutofan.com so u can check it out for what dem saying exactly. They alledge that the next season, season 7, which should be 27 episodes long, will be... heres the bad part... FILLERS!!! for all Naruto manga fans out there, this is not good news i am almost sure because look how di manga HAAAARD, and di fillers are getting quite monotonous and reducing in quality. They say the anime will follow the manga in spring 2006, season 8 and some other crap i am too upset to repeat. But come on, they better not mess bleach up like that trust me, i will just stop watching anime.

VS.

What kind of kiddies movie they turning Naruto into? No blood, too much reaching out to people, not much fighting, violence. Naruto getting smarter, angrier, they keep emphasizing how clumbsy he is. i know its apart of him as a character but, why cant he be like ichigo? Ichigo knows he is wicked and he makes it look good. that my two cents for now, till later. Peace out
