Kung-Fu Fighting due to the number of complaints I received on the JungFroidCam, specifically those that expressed absolute disgust with my nakedness, I now bring to you a little bit of an experiment: BenderCam what it is, is a webcam at work focused on my Bender Toys that I bought from some Discovery Store. Hopefully I'll get a chance to update their frozen action sequences, poses, stances, what have you, at least a couple times a week, so check back often! I put this up as quickly as I could during a workday, so please be patient as I fix the interface. :)

FAYD Filipino-American Youth Dialogue. helped out with it again this past saturday as a volunteer, maybe to give my input, give my side of the story, see what i can contribute to the minds of Filipino-American Youth. Funny; I don't typically identify with a lot of the Filipinos in the area, except those in college, who come from everywhere. Well, at least I don't feel like Praxis, totally sticking out in his hometown. I am priveleged. An exercise we did really hit it home for me that day. We all stood in a big circle, and the exercise leader stood in the middle, telling us to step forward if we had families that owned a home, or if we had one or more parents that had a college education, or were male, etc. We were asked to step back if we were female, your family didn't own a home, parents hadn't finished high-school or college, etc. You get the idea. People who kept stepping forward ended up near the center of the circle, whereas everyone else ended in various areas outside. Being in the center of the circle, I felt uncomfortable. There were only a few of us, but i think i was the only one that really felt inadequate. I was one of the few in the center, meaning one of the priveleged ones. I felt like i had not done enough in life, like there was much i should be doing, considering my "good" lot in life. At least if i was disadvantaged, I would feel prouder of whereever i was. but, i wasn't. That's what i remember taking back from the dialogue that day, and it has got me contemplating my purpose, if there is one, etc. I feel I've been selfish for awhile now, and need to do at least some kind of community service, give something back to society. I've been actually thinking of it for awhile now, but never got around to it, either cuz i was too busy with life, work, school, or whatever. I've graduated, I'm single, all I do is work now (and party). Is it time? Met a lot of new people, made a new friend, a very promising volunteer for next year's FAYD! FAYD pics 1 and 2

Unacceptable Ok, Quentin Tarantino was/is an ok director/producer of movies. I enjoyed watching Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, etc. back in the day. His stuff kinda gets old tho; I can't say by any stretch that he is on a par with Oliver Stone. So, it just pisses me off even more when I see that he has "helped" release Iron Monkey here in the states. I look at the cover, and what I see is HIS name first, HIS interview first on the list of bonus features on the DVD, HIS name before any of the real contributors to the film in the credits on the back cover, and HIS name (in big letters nonetheless) before the title in the beginning of the movie. WTF does he have to do with the movie, Iron Monkey? Did he direct it? no. Did he produce it? no. Did he help choreograph the incredible fight-scenes and wire-work? HELLS NO. He had NOTHING to do with the movie other than upon watching it the first time, he thought, "Wow, what a cool movie! Everyone in America needs to see this!" so, to his credit, it has become widely available here domestically. BUT WHY IS HIS FUCKING NAME ALL OVER THE GODDAMN DVD!?!? whatever. fine. he got it to come out here in the states. But, he didn't even preserve it. The cover does not even portray any of the stars in the film, and MUCH has been cut and changed from the original film. Don't fuck with me Tarantino. I know this freakin' movie, frame by frame. Translations have been changed, scenes cut short, scenes where characters are coughing up blood have been reduced(but for whose benefit, I really don't know. A PG-13 can surely have been kept nowadays without touching them), and there was so much cut in the last fight scene (again, for who or why, I cannot even fathom). Tarantino, if you're gonna claim credit for a movie you had nothing to do with, why don't you at least leave the movie alone, and save yourself the trouble and money?
