MAJOR WEBSITE UPDATES

 Hey everyone!

Sorry for not being as active as I had said. I have been extremely busy with college and my new job. However, I have some updates on the site what is happening! There is good AND bad news.

So, first, I will talk about the bad news. I have decided that I am sunsetting the digital stamps collection page, there are many reasons for this and the largest one being that I can just attach these stamps to my Spacehey or Myspace46 profile. Beyond that, I don't believe you guys would be that entertained by a page with JUST stamps on it so I would rather just make a new and EXCITING page. I am not too sad about shutting that page down as I am not huge into digital stamp collecting and at this time I am debating whether I will even add those stamps to my social pages as the only one I really care about is the Static-X fan one.

WELL WHAT IS THE NEW PAGE GOING TO BE!?!?

Well, there are actually TWO new pages planned. One that I can openly talk about is a cosplay page, this one is going to be in the distant future as it is going to be deeply involved and sort of like its own website, a website inside of a website I guess... specifically, there is going to be a Fallout section (as that is my only cosplay so far) with lore and more, however, I do plan to do a Jet Set Radio/Bomb Rush Cyberfunk cosplay so there will be two to choose from, because of this the page will have a lot of features. The second one I can't talk too much about, just know it is very exciting and I have a lot planned which I will share just some samples of what will be in it/ideas I have since this page is in very early development, beyond the fact that because this website is not my highest priority (music is) it could be quite a while and could change a lot. First, there is going to be things you can buy, I am not specifying what since that is about 50% done but to give an idea, it is stuff you will want, not like crypto or some bullshit like that, it will be high quality stuff. Second, there is going to be a more involved version of this blog, I am not too sure yet how it will work but there are concepts and ideas that are being tested. This blog would (potentially) have more than just me talking in it, more interviews and news, not just simple movie reviews and whatnot, if it takes off I would be interested in doing something special with it. Third, it will feature videos and audio, this I can be way more specific about it as it isn't something that I am going to change my mind on as I have had this idea for a while, my goal is to have all of my commedy sketches and video projects there instead of youtube and wevidi (not that I ever uploaded there :((( ), for audio it will be more podcasty and will have music sometimes, this I will update on sooner than the whole page as it is probably the largest part of the page. Fourth and lastly, I put this last as this is a recent idea and I am not sure if it will stick but it will have a way for you to communicate with me and other people, a forum of sorts, I am not sure how it will function/work as I have done forum sites in the past and nobody really used them but this I think I will be willing to create. What is the name though you might ask? idk, truly, I have no idea, I want to come up with a name that sounds cool but perfectly captures what I am all about and what this page is about. Beyond that, the page might replace the whole site as it is a huge page with lots in it and I think if I am going to put this much effort into a page I don't want people to get analysis paralysis from looking at my page since a lot of you struggle to find things due to the "network" format I have it in. Which leads to:

IS THE WEBSITE CHANGING!?!?!1?1?

Sorta. It is waaaay too early to say but like I said, if this new project X page is exactly how I imagine it, it might replace the site you know currently, especially since it will not just be a page linking to everything I do but also a platform in a way. In the event that project X replaces the current site, I would make an archive of the site that could be downloaded (incase a historian wanted it idfk) and I would do some sort of homepage thing, idrk but, if you really love how my site currently is comment it, however, give X a chance.

IN CONCLUSION

I love this site, genuinely, and even though not a lot of people look at it (nobody), I don't care, I do this for me and nobody can take that, so, if you somehow stumble upon this, interact! Show me that you enjoy what I do, I do want to entertain and inspire people.

Movie Review | Nocturno (2016)

Welcome to my first of many movie reviews! This review is about a Spanish movie called "Nocturno", which, according to IMDb, is an intense drama that tells the unexpected and ambiguous encounter of a sick father, in the last stage of his life, with his daughter, a nurse by profession, whom he presumably abandoned when she was a child. I discovered this movie in the foreign section of my library. I was really interested in the cover, which is a black and white photo of a wall with an old sickly man sitting in a chair with a young nurse next to him and has a handwritten title saying "NOCTURNO" on it; to say this interested me would be an understatement. The movie is in Spanish, so unless you understand the language, you must use subtitles. No dub exists (as far as I know) and even if there is one, I am sure that the way I watched it is the best way to see it. This is not my favorite movie I have seen, but for a movie I knew nothing about, this is pretty damn good. If these types of movies are your thing, you will definitely enjoy them. I personally love these modern movies that have come out that are in black and white. I think they are automatically very interesting. Movies like Light House, Nocturno, A Haunting in Venice, etc. would not be as great visually if they were in color, so I really believe that the black and white video makes them amazing. This review is a bit short as I don't have a lot to tell about the movie, as if I were to give a deep synopsis, I would spoil the movie. To give a basic run down, it starts really slowly, sort of painting a picture of a man's wife being awful and evil. It then sort of makes the nurse seem evil too, but as the movie goes on, you realize that the man was an evil person who (now that he is dying) had to face the anger of those he hurt. I definitely think this movie is worth a watch. However, I probably won't watch it again and again as the story was alright, in my opinion, but I have watched more interesting stories. I think the main draws are the visuals, the drama, and the audio. Other than that, it is relatively generic for me. I would give this movie a solid 6/10.

I hope you enjoyed my review and I look forward to reading more reviews in the future.

Welcome!!!

 Hey there all of you! This is going to be my blog page! I have been working on my personal website for some time now (about a year as of this post) and it has grown so much! If you are seeing this blog it is because I decided to make the site public! ^_^ This is just the beginning though as I plan to update this blog! I am not sure what I will talk about but I will mostly talk about movies, books, music, etc. I go to the library to try new movies so I will probably make some blogs on that! In this blog I am simply just introducing you to the site! (I will figure out how to pin this to the blog page) This site (and this blog page) are where you will find the most personal things about me on the internet! I am not a huge fan of social media though I use it, so I tend to gravitate towards working on my personal site, however, I did want a main page to direct people to when they had questions about me since I have a lot of baggage and it would take waaaaay too long to explain it, for instance, I can tell you I know at least 7,000 songs (that is how many are in my liked playlist and other playlists as well as CDs, Vinyls, and Cassettes) so it is impossible for me to put it in a conversation, it is much easier to just put my playlists on my site or make reviews. I will also post my cosplay photos since cosplay is something I deeply enjoy (probably as much as music) so expect a lot of music, cosplay, DIY, and aesthetics. I have a guest book so feel free to say anything, if you have a request for me to review something simply just type it in the guest book, I will check it. I hope you guys do check in on my site as this is something I am deeply proud of and hope to grow as time goes on, it is already huge but there is so much more I can add. I kind of look at this site like Disney World, lots of rides and parks that are always changing or expanding. I will keep all of the social media people up to date on the happenings of this site. Hope you guys enjoy your day!
