Making a Video

Alright, so I was thinking of making a short 1hr video of my life in California, with all my friends, to send to my family in Japan. I think I found a good deal on renting a digital video camera...now all I need is some editing tools...I know that I need to be able to transfer the video to a PC for editing, but I was thinking of renting the software or maybe downloading some free software to do some cool editing. So my plan is to transfer the video to a DV tape using firewire and hoping to use Windows movie maker (I think I have XP) ...now I need to figure out the detials of encoding...AVI, MPEG2...not sure. I don't really have experience doing this kinda thing, but it may turn out to be pretty cool....and I'm thinking of putting in a Japanese narrative so my family can understand, mixed with some English....but yeah, so if anyone has any suggestions as for editing software or equipment, let me know! I also need some good exciting stuff to put on the video, so I'm still thinking of when I will rent everything....sweet!

Life's a Bitch

Well, this year started off horribly and I feel that since my 20 year plan just went to shit, that I have the right to complain and bitch about it! i really do feel horrible, just awful, i think my life is shit and I'll never be where i want to be....i hope there's still something out there for me, i hope I'll see it when i'm there
