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.

The constant reminder that I'm going to be back in my hometown of Erie, PA soon keeps nudging me closer to that state where I get both sentimental about going home but sad about leaving my current venue. Things aren't all sad though, many things are moving forward. You may be able to be directed to my new personal website thru a few new URLs soon. By the time this is posted, you'll probably be reading it on my new website. It's nowhere near complete but at least I'll have SOMETHING up on the interwebs. It's an interesting feeling purchasing a URL/domain name. It's like you're buying up prime real estate on the internet.

It's funny how I am known to most of my friends as Aaron J., and that automatically makes me think I'm the only one out there. Stupid right? It's like I am thinking "How could there EVER possibly be another person who goes by 'Aaron J.'?" and yet I DO think that. So when I went to purchase the domain name AaronJ.com and it was taken, my mind was blown. I may have to settle for ImAaronJ.com or something else but man, some stuff just totally blindsides you. I suppose I could have the guy lynched but that just doesn't seem kosher y'know? Ah, the entertainment industry, what a cruel beast.

Making the viral videos for LAN'ded has taken up most of my time recently. Some people have asked WHY the virals are being made and distributed via the internet and if I think the characters in the videos would actually publish such content. Well, if you were to search YouTube on a sad lonely dreary sunday afternoon, you'd find videos with alot worse content and reasoning than ours.

Filming the current viral had to be suspended due to the absence of a tissue box. Looks like I'll have to go out and buy some props tomorrow then. In order to make the most of the time I had set aside though, I'm going to play Fable 2. I know I'm about a year late in playing it but hey, better late than never right?

In all seriousness, I'll probably end up sketching out a few new ideas I've had and THEN hit up Fable 2, but let's face it, I'll still end up with a controller in my hand.

Til next time.
