Alive in Jo'burg / Subscribe to J.T.'s blog

District 9 is coming out tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to seeing it! I probably shouldn't have but I've read a lot of articles (reviews, background info) on this movie and I hope I didn't spoil it...



The movie is based on Director Neill Blomkamp short film called Alive in Jo'Burg. Peep the vid below...



Speaking of movies, my friend/brother/comrade, J.T., just set up a blog talking about any/everything related to movies. Although its in the beginning stages, but knowing J.T. he will keep you entertained and keep you thinking w/ post to come. So check out/comment/subscribe/follow my brother from another mother's blog out HERE

Creating a favicon

For Stew and all the other bloggers out there...

Favicon: also known as a website icon, or shortcut icon; it is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage.

Example below: click to make larger!



Step 1: find an image

Step 2: create an Favicon.ico image
-Use this site to create it: IconJ
a. upload image, then click the "Upload it!" button.

Step 3: You can either download it or it have them host the picture.
Just to make things simple...have them host the image...copy the code under the "Host It at IconJ.com: (Direct Link) section"


Step 4. Here's where it gets just a little tricky. You will need to edit your Blogger template. I got a little nervous doing this the first time I did it and you should always back up (SAVE IT!!!) your template before you change it!

Ok...so go to your blog and click on "Layout" in the Dashboard. Then click the "Edit HTML" tab.

Now you will need to search for the word “title” , this should be inside the header tags. You should find something that looks like this:


Just after that line, paste the text you copied from Icon J's in Step 3. After you have pasted it, click "Save Template" then refresh your blog and KA-BOOM!!! you should see a little icon next to your web address!

If you are having problems, leave a comment and tell me...

If you get it to work let me know as well...

Live Long and Prosper,

Kid a.

what'd ya say?



Overheard:
random person in mall: Only with a silk scarf, and only if it's tucked in, like an ascot. It's the new thing, all the rage. The kids call it "The Jet."
me: (thinking to myself) wtf?!?

me: lesson learned = 187 times.
niki: daaaaaa-yuuhh--muuuhh
***one eight seven, yeah i killed that song.

in reference to The Bucket List
jt: its narrorated by morgan freeman, we are all comfortable with his voice now, its like being told a story by your grandfather, like how he narrorated shawshank redemption (which is a good movie by the way), it has the comedy, a little bit of action, it has the surprise like Shawshank Redemption minus the shankin'...
me: lol...


found this pic on a forum...
Photobucket
"is it me or does jay look crazy paranoid in this pic?"

the picture alone is hilarious...but check out some of the comments ppl left:

"if by paranoid u mean mad ugly then yea i agree."

"he's in his "rainman" mode.."

"snipers are watching him..."

"No wonder he looks paranoid. I wouldn't want to get caught bumming ricky gervais..."

The potential blog names.

prepare yourself this is a long post but i think its good...

to karla, xanthia, taylor and who ever else is thinking about starting a blog...

A few of my friends have come to their senses and are finally starting a blog! Big ups! But they are having problems coming up w/ a name. At first I was like c'mon it can't be that hard...just think of a sentence or rhyme from a movie, song, etc...

Then I started to reflect on how I came to my eventual blog title and the problems I had w/ coming up w/ a name, direction, flow...

After looking through a few boxes of my past life (in G'boro, 02' - 07'), I came across a sheet of paper w/ a few scribbled names and explanations entitled "Possible names for my blog" I probably did it in Biology class or something. Well, here are a few of those titles...

1st up...

1. UberPooper.blogspot.com
uber - (according to the urban dictionary) the ultimate, above all, the best, top, something that nothing is better.
pooper - (one of my definitions) i'm so fly i sh!t on these n!gg@s.

Yeah I know, it doesn't make sense but it sounded good and for about 2.6 seconds it was a winner. also i always liked the word poop. not sure why?

didn't use this b/c: it was one of the those "WTF" names.


2. MyLastSummer.blogspot.com
summer - a chance to relax and chill, a break from hw, text, and spelling bee's, no more long nights in the library for me! but then there is always a moment during the summer, usually at the end, when you get bored and can't wait for school to start...not b/c you miss the work but b/c you miss all the other extra circular activities (friends, parties, food fights in the cafe, fashion shows at the b-ball game)...and then a month in to the semester you wished it was the summer again.

i kinda liked this possible title and since my blog was suppose to document my last semester in college (and possibly academia), i was trying to capture that bittersweet moment at the end of the summer (academia) when your anticipating the end, trying to enjoy the last days, and trying to get prepared for whats ahead...

didn't use b/c: came close but i figured that i would/might use the blog after i graduated and i wanted the title to be more universal and not limited and it sound like a movie (w/ a beginning, middle, and end). i think i'm gonna use it for something else.

3. TheLastKidPicked.blogspot.com
This one reminds me of my childhood. I remember being one of the last kids picked in the neighborhood basketball pickup games, not b/c i couldn't play but b/c i was the smallest kid out there. Instead they would pick Joe, the 6 ft. 5th grader...can't really blame em', he couldn't play worth a sh!t but he could grab rebounds like a mother! But that's why i made it a point to be one of the first kids to shoot for captain...guaranteed playing time!

Eventually when the other kids saw that I could play and I had heart...I wasn't the last kid to be picked, I ended up being the second to last kid picked.

decided not to use this one b/c: its a band in new hampshire...and they have a blog by the same title.

and finally

4. MyPlasticGlasses.blogspot.com
i always get compliments on my glasses but this wasn't always so. my older glasses were like coke bottles...if you wore them you could probably see into the future.

a few yrs ago my friend and brother helped me pick out a new pair of glasses. Apparently, the pair I had on weren't a good representation or reflection of my personality or who I was. They were right. I remember, putting on my new glasses and it was like...it was like I had an aura of coolness around me. Glowing like Carlton w/ Will' chicktionary. YES!!!!



Might have not been the best of but it is what I decided to go with.

This blog ended up not being about my last semester but more of a (personal and eventually public) journal of my life and things that I see on a daily basis...from my perspective, through my plastic glasses...

So to those who are still trying to find a name for their blog, the name isn't really important so much as the content and the direction that you want to go. The good thing about blogging is that you can put what you want up here and make it reflect you. I tried to come up w/ the coolest, bad a$$ title for my blog and trust at first I was like man this title sucks! I should change it to this or to that...but now, I think it is cool not b/c of the name itself but everything else and what it has become (to me, to you)...hope that/this makes sense...
