Dean's intense venturesBecause normal adventures are dull.

My laptop’s getting rather old now; a year and a half later I’m finding the baby outdated, occasionally erroneous and rather slow at processing tasks. That, and the memory seems to be bugging me. Limiting memory for the lose.

And so I hit the main puncher: do I go for another laptop, or go to the big desktop, and buy one of those big boys that have processing powers powerful enough to cause a typhoon of commands to turn into a breeze in seconds? Or do I stick with the laptop and avoid all those nasty wires with simplicity?

The Desktop

This particular desktop won’t be the one I’ll be buying if I decided to, but I’ve seen quite a few desktops that have processing power that outclass Arnold Schwarzenegger. About 20 times more memory then a normal laptop. And most of all? Its screen can almost be as big as my ego. And that’s pretty damn big. It can play games too- I’ve been dying to play some Spore since the game came out… The desktop is the quincher for that urge.

The Laptop

It doesn’t have the memory of a leviathan, but this thing has served me well; countless times has the laptop served entertainment at the cost of only minor predicaments. If buying a laptop was my choice, then I’d go for something with better specs then my current set; no damn wires, yes! But the battery has a chance of dying out once I get into the hardcore games… So it’s kinda tough. But it’s much cheaper then a desktop, the laptop requires less to run less.

The final verdict?

Considering the tight money right now, I’m afraid I won’t be seeing neither of these new beauties for quite a while. However, a while passes by like a minute, and I know this Toshiba Laptop still has some zing in it to keep on running for me.

If I had the money, I’d probably be leaning for the desktop. I mean, quad processing not only sounds powerful, but IS powerful. While there is a possibility for laptops to have these in the future/they may have the power already, it would be incredibly hard to keep a laptop open, with that battery and all… I’m a heavy consumer, and I need my heavy range of specifications- the desktop gives people that.

But my decision is not completely final- feel free to leave a comment suggesting otherwise, or perhaps something else.

After around three months of inactivity and abandonment of this little gem, the blog is back, thanks partially to a Canadian named Daniel, and life taking a much more relaxing turn.

Apart from a nice blog skin revamp, things are pretty much the same. I’ll be posting things here you won’t normally find on sites such as Nintendo Rocket or on Facebook, so be sure to subscribe (its free, and only requires the tap of a link). If the site gets enough subscribers, projects may start, I’m not totally sure. But hey, at least there’s something else on the web to eat up your time.

…And now begins my quest to try and get people to subscribe. I know/hope some have already, but the more the merrier :3

Yes, the forum is now back online, after much discussion. The forum, if you have forgotten about it, can be located here.

Damn it, I always fail at managing to maintain something. Always D:

Anyway, to all FuDians reading this blog, I’m sorry but I have to delay the FuD comics. But the comics will eventually have a plot, and it will start to become one of those saga comics one will rip their hair off for when they get to an epic point- only to have it end the issue. So basically, I’m procrastinating.

NR is also going to come back- if you already didn’t know despite the gossip, my DA journal and me informing people on forums, then you should now; NR is coming back alive. Brad, Mike and Zack will be working with me on this forum, hoping to get it back running to its prime time. But don’t expect it to shoot off like a missile; it needs time before it can lift off. Expect NR to come back soon!

Another project that is currently with me is a duo-story compilation with Zane Brooke, the guy who’s probably going to read this blog tonight and think “hey, did that ass just mention ME?”. The two-parter is basically a story with two viewpoints- one from the viewpoint of a supposed “killer” and another from the policeman, or in this case the taco-scoffing Zane man. It’ll be a great sight to see, and will be posted on a forum near you!

I’m also continuing to write Intensity background histories so everyone gets more detail into their character, and to also give them a genuine look at their personalities, and friends before the story. I’d do this to Rosy Waves’s characters, but I already know what they’re all like, so there’s no real need.

Rosy Waves hasn’t been updated in a while because its incredibly awkward to try and create a scene where Brad pops out from the blue to IM the protagonist on what happened on November 18th. I could just say I imed him about the scenario, but hey, it might wait. Just looking at the previous parts of this blog, you’ll know I’ve got a lot to do.

I hope you enjoy reading the blog. Got something to say? Comment! It doesn’t take that long.

Yes, I feel today is a good time to update this entry on my current projects.

Intensity is coming along greatly. I managed to revamp the scene where Claw meets Sy so it’s now much more climatic. I also joined a writer’s forum, which means I’ll be able to keep that story on track. I met this girl today who reminded me of Amora- cool stuff.

The FuD comics are going to be delayed again, but not far off from Wednesday. It will be posted on Thursday, July 24th, on Zack’s birthday. Zack, if you’re reading this, I’ve also got something else to show you for your birthday, but that will have to wait. FuDians can expect this set of comics to feature the FuDian fiesta, so watch out.

Rosy Waves is officially withdrawn until further notice. Allow me to clear away the other things, and then I’ll get to work.

I apologize for this, but I sadly announce that both the FuD comics and the rewrites of Intensity are to be delayed until Tuesday/Wednesday. These delays exist because of the fascination of FETO, and other strange things. Of course, other reasons include the added time I’m spending on the two projects

Just a note D:

Carpe Diem is latin for “seize the day”. But what relevance does that have to today’s lovable entry?

Well, it happens to hold a lot. Today has been one of those grand days…
Where I think I’ve seized the day.

I can’t look back at this day without thinking “oh yeah, that was a day I did something cool”. Why? Well, the secret is incredibly simple, and I’m sure you’ll slap yourselves silly when you discover it.

It’s called persistence and effort.
Believe it or not, those two come together better then skies and roses. Thanks to these two, I’ve managed to get some major breakthroughs done, and learned some new things about myself in the process. I’m sure that you, the reader, have managed to learn a couple of things from persistence and effort. So why don’t you share your story in the comment box?

I’m sure tomorrow will bring loads of opportunities. Be sure to seize the day, as I’m sure to try =)

That’s what Barrack Obama said. And today, this is what I will say.

I’ll be blunt; I’ve read Intensity recently, and I’ve seen some major flaws in some of the latest chapters, as well as some in the earlier chapters that I forgot to correct.

So, I’ll probably be correcting these as the days go along. Polishing off the dust, while adding some new twists and twirls to make metaphors more effective and plot conventions more vivid. Because of this, I probably wouldn’t expect an update any time soon. Intensity will be harboring a lot of my attention for the upcoming days, so no Rosy Waves updated yet D:

But that’s not the only promise I have promised- oh no. Being the meticulous crafty little luck of Sy, I have decided to start some sort of weekly review section. Each week, a review on something will be unveiled, showing everyone my stable and randomized opinion on things. I cannot guarantee that these will be launched every week in succession, as the next announcement will probably cause slight friction.

My next announcement is regarding the production of FuD’s comics. Now, if no one is familiar with FuD, you can find the link here. FuD comics are basically a series of three pages that show a tale of FuDian tales, and adventures revolving around Shadow Virus and his random chums. Now, if you harbor from FuD, I’d like to state that the comics will be updated once every week, on a Sunday. By saying that, I probably will seclude myself to work tomorrow (I have yet to start, eek!)

That should be it for now I suppose. Intensity checking, reviewing and FuD comics. I’d like to thank you for reading

The enemy? Well, this one is known as…

DOUBT

Doubt has 60hp, and an incredible amount of power. It can paralyze the opposition to prevent movement, and can also poison. And today, I have found a doubt monster in my story, Rosy Waves. :/

Basically, I’ve been receiving comments from people stating that Rosy Wave’s first few chapters were “too dull.” Now, I don’t blame them for thinking of an opinion, seeing as chapters 1-4 are from the “day in the life of saga” and does not contain anything fantastical. However, this story isn’t really a fantasy- its a non fiction, so therefore shouldn’t contain anything fantastical, right? Right?

Well, I’m actually wrong- non-fiction stories are meant to be known for their dramatic events and ways of adding plot twists to possible real life scenarios. Rosy Waves kinda does that later on, but not at the minute. The main focus with the first saga is supposed to be showing people a glimpse of life. But if that doesn’t appeal to them, then what will make them read on?

Ah well, seems like I’ve got a lot of proof-reading to do. :/

You may be wondering what the strange title means. Well, its like this.

Imagine a guy sitting alone in a maths class alone for five hours learning about the hardest factorizing on Earth. Then top that off with rain for 20 minutes and a sip of deviantart message spam and we’ve got something magical; my DAY.

It was horrible. Torturous. Scandalous. The only relief this day will bring is some juicy content for Rosy Waves. But that’s not the point. Today sucked balls, and because of this, I regretfully doubt you’ll be seeing an update from me today.
