Born This Way

Born this way

We are removed and alienated from this xenophobic society. 

We are known as the strange, weird, exotic, different, insane, eccentric breed in this world.

They claim that we are emotionally tortured and disturbed, stuck in our own fantasy realm.

We were born this way.

We were born different

We were created to bring abstract viewpoints and color in to this plain colorless space.

We are what make the world different.

We are the fabricators of dreams and ideas that we attempt to bring to life.

Nothing is impossible for us.

We bring enlightenment to the world.

We illustrate what is outside the box from within the box.

We are our own genre of people.

Nothing is impossible through our eyes.

We imagine what we desire.

We will not apologize for the way we are.

They will never be able to wrong this right.

We graffiti this world with much needed splendor.

We must stand together, rise against the nay-sayers of this utopian society and be the artistic, creative interesting, living organisms we are.

We all stand for one thing- the freedom to be - who we were born to be: creative. 

What DA FONT!!!!

I am a huge fan of fonts. I think they bring personality to a banner, log, poster, or even a word doc. In this blog I will be discussing where to find free cool fonts and how to put them on your computers font library. 

First you need to get on the in-tro-net (Internet) and type in free fonts into google, my favorites are Dafonts.com. Once you find a site you like you should explore all of the different genres of fonts and select some that you think could be used on different projects. Once you find one you like you press download. The font is then downloaded as a .ZIP file in downloads folder, there are usually two or three different files that come inside the .ZIP. You then take the files and drag them into the font library, which is located under Library->Fonts. The font is now in all of the applications on your computer. Have fun exploring the different places to use different fonts to make you piece more visually pleasing!

   

Surfin Da Net

Congratulations! You get to witness my first ever blogging experience.

This is my second full week working here and I love it! I like everyone I work with; everyone is very down to earth computer nerd like myself. I have learned a lot since I have started working here and I always have something to do.

Working with video you always have to wait long periods of time for videos to compress or render, which means you have a lot of time to do other activities such as “surf da net”. I have compiled a list of great websites that I look at almost everyday.

Hautlook.com

This is a discount daily deals site that I love! You can get designer brands for 50-75% of the retail price. They send you emails everyday with the deals of the day. I know it sounds like every other daily deal site and I am a member of many, but this one is pretty awesome.

DirtyMexicanLemonade.com-

A music site that was developed by college kids. It is a great place to hear mashups, remixes, and new songs. If you like a song you can download it right from the site. They have all different types of genres of music.

 

DoNothingForTwoMinutes.com

           

This site is a good site to go to when you need a break. It relaxes you with the view of the ocean and ocean sounds. It tells you not to do anything for two minutes. If you touch the mouse or keyboard then it says you have failed at relaxing. Just Relax!

MerryCode.com

           

This site has jailbreak codes and good computer tips for every computer nerd.

LifeHacker.com

           

This is a great site for tips, tricks, and downloads for getting things done.

ApexVj.com

ApexVj visualizes music stream from SoundCloud or your personal mp3 folder with an ever growing number of effects. Apexvj can also be controlled by remote from a smartphone or it can even be left to it's own devices and run automated in "party" mode where visualizations change automatically in response to the music stream. I listen to music on this site while I am working. It has great music. 

Hope you try out some of these sites!

Catch ya on da flip side! Peace!
