Am I Right, Or Wrong… The World May End In 1234 Days.

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | Helpful | 4 Comments

This is just a reminder. Quite some time ago I prophesied that the world would NOT end in 2012. Well the countdown is still active on this post: What is supposed to happen at the end of 2012) and is indicating that there is 1234 days left to live if I am wrong.

So live it up people. Hate to be wrong and you would only have 1234 days to live, as you would be pissed off at me for a few seconds and I wouldn’t want that.

Already another Steve Urkel Day has gone by and my sister is no longer around to remind me of all of these important events anymore. So I need your help to keep track of things like this and the world ending.

Big Ass Blueberry and Chocolate Chip Muffins

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 | Helpful | 2 Comments

I was looking for this recipe on my hard drive the other day, only to realize that it was actually on one of my SATA hard drives that I can’t access until I finish building my new tower, as this shitty laptop can’t exactly use a sata drive. No fear, I sold my old computer to my mom and left the folder with it in alive… woot.

Thought I should share… I mean they are amazing… but DO NOT TRY to make these in a normal muffin pan. They just don’t work at all (not to mention the name looses context). Get a tin that only makes 6 muffins.

“Big Ass Blueberry & Chocolate Chip Muffins“

3 Tea. Baking Powder
2 C. Flour
1/2 C. Sugar
1/2 Tea. Salt

2 Eggs
1/2 Tea. Vanilla
1 1/3 C.Milk
1/4 C. Margarine or Butter

2/3 C. Blueberries
2/3 C. Chocolate Chips

————————–

-Mix dry ingredients in a bowl
-Melt butter in micro and add milk, eggs, and vanilla
-Mix dry stuff with wet stuff until mixed well (but not totally smooth)
-Add chips and blueberries(frozen berries work best)
-Preheat @ 450f
-Grease a six cup muffin tin with butter (no sprays)
-Pour batter into cups evenly
-To make top brown when muffins are solid open oven and add some butter while they are baking
-Bake aprox.23 min. (check with toothpick to make sure they are done)
-Burn yourself trying to pull them out of pan and eat them 2 early

Israel Psy/Trance Gods - Infected Mushroom

Friday, May 2nd, 2008 | Helpful, Life | No Comments

So I was fixing all of the music videos that were on the site. In the process I looked for a few new song. Things I hadn’t seem music videos for but figured I might as well find music videos instead of mp3’s for the site.

Well YouTube did this slick thing with their API that allows me to use my own player with their videos so long as I display their logo in the corner. Now yes, I have a way to bypass this logo which I have been doing for a long time. However my links break all the time, and it’s a bit shady since they don’t want people direct linking to the flv’s. Well using the new method I can add music videos and not worry about them dying pretty much at all. So that’s what I am going 2 do. One less thing to maintain for broken links right.

Ok, the point I was very inefficiently getting at is that I searched for Gerald McMann - Cry Little Sister to see if a video existed. It found me some clipped together Lost Boys footage which then showed me a remix of People are Strange in related links. I like that song so I opened that video. It was an Anime Music Video, which was cool because if I liked it there weren’t that many of those on my site so I could always use more.

Well this was the best remix of ANY SONG I have EVER heard. It had such a beautiful and haunting sound that I had to find more stuff by them and have since downloaded their entire discography and unreleased songs.

Anyways you really need to experience this to believe me. Go to thesmartass.info/theater and in the top left menu choose Anime Music Videos and listen to the Cowboy Bebop music video. Then when you are done listen to the Paprika music video that is further down the list (another one of their songs). If you are still hooked like I was switch to the normal music videos and watch their Becoming Insane video (only actual music video they have as far as I can tell).

Infected Mushroom = Good Stuff

Smartass Hits The Road

Monday, March 3rd, 2008 | Helpful, Site Updates | 6 Comments

I know you will all be devastated, but I am hitting the road this morning for my month ½ long road trip. First I have to drive to Wisconsin where the weather is absolutely shitty right now… Oh well, so what you need to know is I just added 100+ movies to site. They all worked when I put them on. However they do not auto-play. I can fix that later, but for now you will have to click the play button. I know… It’s rough.

Also, if you open a video and it says “Buffering 0%” and stays that way for awhile it is probably trying to “resume downloading” of one that you opened b4. What you need to do is right click on the divx player and choose Preferences. Then click Download Cache. Then Disable Download Cache and click Clear Cache. Also clear your browser cache and reload my theater page.

Problem should be solved unless the movie is actually gone.

I will be on site now and then during my trip, but not nearly as often as I was before. So if you have messages for me please use the contact form to email me.

Good Times.

New Video Streaming Method (updated)

Thursday, February 28th, 2008 | Helpful, Site Updates | No Comments

So this morning I was frustrated to see that my entire top 10 was dead as well as most of my other links from other sources. Since then I have been searching for other movies that people have already uploaded to the net. Having found a ton of AVI files in open directories etc.. (thanks Google) I was happy. Then I found a site listing a bunch of AVI movies on FlyUpload.com. Of course they were listed as “Download Only / No Streaming”.

So I figured if I could fix that problem then there is already a massive quantity of full length movies uploaded to FlyUpload. So I studied how it worked and I have found a new method that lets me convert videos on their site, into ones that stream on mine, and though I like having streaming movies that nobody else has, I have told the method to a couple other sites; in hopes that having them knowing this will let them keep uploading and finding more videos there, so that I do not have to do all the work myself.

I am just putting the links I find onto the site and though I THINK they are in English and not messed up, there are no comments where I found them, so please tell me if you see videos in foreign languages without subs, or find some other problem with the videos.

I am hoping this is the new “Veoh videos in DivX player” that I used to have until they locked it down (when they locked it down I had 163 working movies from their site). I am confident in this so I have started converting a ton of these videos I have found into videos for the site. If they all die in 1 day I am going to be rather annoyed. So lets hope that doesn’t happen.

UPDATE: BAH…. Seems as soon as one person opens the video the link changes itself. Yes, this means that I just spent a long time adding movies only to be removing them all at the end of the night. I won’t delete them. I can make them work quickly, but if I leave them in the menu it will confuse people since I can’t be here every minute to explain the movies and then fix the broken links.

UPDATE (again, but after a good nights sleep): Oh look all my stage6 links stopped working today. Well that was expected, but still sucks. I figured out the way to fix all these links so they will fix themselves without me doing it, however I am crazy busy today and it requires I make a script. They will be back soon.

UPDATE 3: All the FlyUpload videos work again!

FYI: OiNK Is Gone

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 | Helpful | 2 Comments

Short version of the long story (just google it), OiNK is no more and unlike all the other sued sites (demonoid | isohunt | torrentspy | piratebay) it appears that it will stay that way.

I thought it should be mentioned since it was one of the greatest sites ever to exist. Yes, something will take it’s place as is the way of the world, but until then we will remember it as the greatest music download site to ever exist.

Ab Imo Pectore

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Then, find someone whose life has given them vodka, and have a party!

There is a philosophy for everything. and as I sit here over-thinking things I have come to a few conclusions:

1) Life is short - It has never been more evident to me than it has this month. It is easy for me to say I escaped as I am still alive, however I am not unscathed and will forever be changed. The trick I believe is to know what happened in your life to get you where you are but not dwell on it, just move on. Which brings me to conclusion number two.

2) You cannot live in the past - Think this is easy? This is the toughest thing to do. If you focus on the shitty things in the past then it is what you will see in the future. There are no real if-and-buts about it. You ever hear of the course “The Secret” (which was on this site until last week wiped out 600 videos)? All the damn thing says ask and you shall receive… yep, old school bible stuff. Just focus on what you want and not what you don’t want.

3) Find somebody who will listen to you - Wife, friend, mother, pet… Whatever works… Just know that when you are speaking that somebody actually cares enough to listen.

4) Never be without music in your mind - I can’t even begin to express how much music has done for me. There comes a time when you think nobody understands you but then you hear a song, and suddenly you know that you are not alone. I have over 44,421 songs in one folder yet I can throw them all into at shuffle and wallah, it finds something that fits what I need. Music will never leave you and it is there in all of your good and bad times.

Those are the conclusions I drew tonight. A lot of people expect me to act or feel a certain way now that my sister has died. I wanted to try to feel those ways but due to my own core beliefs I can only feel the way that I am. I can be sad while still being thankful. I can be depressed while still being optimistic. I can feel hungry while still feeling full and I can live while being lost.

Disease is not your problem…

Friday, October 5th, 2007 | Helpful, Rants | 4 Comments

Alone. It’s not a problem when you are used to it. So long as you just focus on something else, anything else, then it just becomes something that you are.

You cannot stay alone though, friends won’t let you, family won’t let you and most of all life won’t let you. Life isn’t about what you want, it’s about what other people want and how they will treat an accept you. If you are alone you will have nothing but your memories and fantasies, because all we really have is our memories. So you spend your time alone thinking about others. Experiences you have had with others, or ones you would like to have.

So you try to live for yourself, to not care about the circumstances of other people who have let their memories and fantasies become too dark. Yet you cannot escape it, because as soon as you escape it will come back. As you get older you meet more and more people, and make more and more friends. All of them have their own dark memories and dreams and though they may not want to drag you down with them they have no choice.

A life lesson I learned all at once one day in my youth: You can’t bottle up your problems and hope that they go away. They become all you subconsciously react to when similar situations occur. You need to have a way to release your shit and change your focus.

When you study the mind you find that altering one emotional memory simply by changing the perspective in the memory can cause you to act subconsciously change everything around you. That if you go and change say 5 emotional memories to be less intense that suddenly you can make it through your day without any problems because the things you associated with those memories are no longer stabbing you.

Yet even knowing the utter simplicity of how to change a life just by fucking with memories a little bit, still doesn’t make other people want to change. They will make rationalizations for all of life’s problems because they are too scared to change.

My father had electroshock therapy many years ago because no drug would work for him. He would get a new drug and would get 90% of all the symptoms and they became worse then the depression. So extreme situations call for extreme measures. Well funny story. A little electricity running through the pathways in the brain and he was a TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON for a few days. I mean they had simply weakened the paths of his shitty recent memories by intensifying other memories. He came back and sat down at the dinner table with us as if he always did that (he always ate in the living room). He went through the shit in his closet and said “Why are we keeping these? (to a box full of the cardboard things that fall out of magazines that he had been collecting just “in case” he needed one) and then he threw them away. He was scared because there were many things he couldn’t remember, but suddenly he was a good person that you would want to be around.

If you were to have tested him at that time you would be able to see that the chemicals and everything in his body would have changed. Not because of some drug that made it change, but simply because he forgot the negative crap that made him fucked up in the first place. Well electroshock is no great cure because as he kept going to the therapy he no longer lost any memories and instead just came back shaking because he built up a tolerance in the brain but not in the nervous system. The lesson however is the same. Life is what you focus on, and if you take a shitty perspective on the things that happen it will fester and eat away at your brain until you cannot remember what it is like to not feel shitty.

Disease is not your problem, it’s the effect of the shit you think and do. So own up to your own life and start thinking about better things, and looking at different perspectives on things that pain you. As soon as you start to feel shitty take a deep breath and then focus on ways to not feel that way.

Saint Me Day

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 | Helpful, Life, Site Updates | No Comments

What… You think I’m joking? You think I would just declare today a holiday to honor myself because I have a big ego? Hmm, good point… I might… Well damn it, I didn’t!

Today is Saint James Day.

A day to honor me. Yet where are the people honoring me? Do you realize that I had to go to work today?!?!? Granted I skipped the first 3 hours to honor myself, but I still had to go!

Look, I have figured out the problem. You are having a hard time remembering what days are important and what days aren’t. So I have decided to add another section to my ‘Random Thoughts’. This weekend I will make a daily holiday database. Not only will it help you to remember when to honor me, but it will also help you to have an excuse to celebrate.

Everyday there will be a new holiday all of them will be legit, unless I don’t like the legit holidays in which case I will invent a new holiday. A holiday that should have been invented already but hasn’t due to lack of creativity at the Hallmark Company.
