of batarangs and possible accidental injuries

UPDATE: PICTURES APPARENTLY AREN'T ABLE TO BE VIEWED IN MY BLOG POSTS, BUT REST ASSURED, THE BATARANG AND MACAULEY CULKIN ARE BEING USED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT.

Well, the website is up. I guess I can check that off my bucket list then.

I wanted to draw attention to the hub for my company: Imaginary Trends. Imaginary Trends was a company created early this year in order to house the projects created by myself and Kyle Igneczi, who is the other main component of the group. Kyle's website isn't quite done yet, but that doesn't mean you can't visit our minimalistic-styled bare-bones themed site for some love.

It's roughly 10:20 P.M. right now but I wanted to upload some pictures because 1) I want to see how the website handles pictures being inserted into blog posts and 2) the materials we have scraped together for the latest viral amuses me greatly.

Can you see what we are working with for tonight? A batarang and Macauley Culkin. Truly an epic combination. It kills me that I cannot directly talk about why these videos are being made but once again, if you take a good look around YouTube, maybe search for some Vlogs, then you'll catch on...

Time to get into costume for the viral video. If you guys discover it, I hope you enjoy it. :)

oh vanessa hudgens, i bet your mother is so ashamed of you.

I can honestly say that when I grab hold of a creative idea and wrestle it to the ground, I never feel more alive. Today a suggestion was made for something to be done for the character of Christian in LAN'ded. Currently, the past 9 hours Kyle and I have been writing, scripting, and organizing a team to be brought together for a small yet difficult project we hope to complete by the end of the week. Though, because of the nature of the project, I cannot discuss it very deeply. I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record saying that but I'm sure if people just snooped around YouTube by the end of this week then they'd see the fruits of our labors. Or labours if we are using Shakespearean prose. Also, it involves me rapping. Yep, rapping. T-Pain style.

Hopefully, if all goes as planned, you're reading this on ImAaronJ.com. If so, I hope you're enjoying it. If not, well...trust me, it's pretty nifty. Kyle and I bought a flurry of domain names last night in an attempt to secure our virtual real estate and I feel as if we came out on top. You'll now be able to access our personal sites and company information at www.thisguyandi.us (cost 50 cents) and www.thisguyandi.com (cost $10). We bought the dot-com out of peer pressure and bought the dot-us to appease our penchant for thrifty shopping. In the end, everyone wins.

The grim realization that this job in New Hampshire will be done soon approaches us with more aggression with each passing day. This has been a haven for creative freedom as far as our work is concerned. We've made some good connections and have even found some new colleagues but a change of venue is necessary. I've always said that my father was the best source of comedy I've ever had and as fate would have it, I'll be heading home next. We have set up a mobile postal service on the internet though. A feasible way for Kyle, our fellow colleagues, and I to exchange ideas, videos, and upload our work to the series of tubes and connections you're navigating through now. We're very excited about the prospect of recording and releasing a podcast every so often, perhaps a fortnight, and getting feedback on our work instantly.

Getting away from all of that professional news, has anyone else turned into a 13-year old again due to the fact that a new video game about The Dark Knight is coming out? I sure have, and the fact that the collector's edition comes with a batarang does nothing to further my personal responsibility or well-being. I expect band-aids to be bought in bulk when that weapon is unboxed.

I just received an update. It's a negative, we won't have the URL site up by tomorrow, maybe tuesday though. GoDaddy.com likes to make their site as slow as possible, and when you combine that with the [sarcasm] always reliable [/sarcasm] internet here you've got a winning combination.

Guess that means it is time for bed. Peace out cub scouts.
