Flogging Molly Concert

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 27, 2008, 11:55 PM
I'm so excited, Sunday is the Flogging Molly I've been waiting sooo long for. It's gonna be a bitch to drive all the way to Richmond from Radford, buts it's worth it. Also, if you're thinking about buying a new pc game soon, I would highly recommend Frontlines: Fuel of War. I had no idea what it was about until Ethan, Andy and I all got ourselves banned from some good servers in counterstrike for griefing (which was hilarious), and Andy happened across the website while we were bored. The bots are awesome, and you can play as the Red Alliance, which immediately made us buy it the day it came out. Plus, no EA meddling at all. The Unreal engine looks amazing too. Or that could just be my new videocard. Ahhhh, one of the cats is going after my ravioli! NOoooooo!

HOW TO FIX PHOTOS OF YOUR ART IN PHOTOSHOP, THANKS TO BALLISTICS.

So, picture editing 101

-Open the picture in photoshop

-Open the Levels window (Ctrl+L or Image>Adjustments>Levels)

-Click on the leftmost eyedropper icon. Then click the darkest splotch in your picture. You're essentially telling the computer what "black" is. If nothing happens try clicking on a dark gray area instead

-Click the rightmost eyedropper in the Levels window. Now, same thing, but click on what should be pure white in the picture. You should really see the colors come out now.

-If desired, play with the sliders a bit, but 99% of the time the eyedroppers will take care of things

Winter Break

Aww man, i can't wait for exam week to be over. We'll be staying up here in Radford in the apartment for about a week after school closes. The dirtyberg doesn't have much draw for us. Once we get home we'll be heading up to wintergreen for the week before christmas, and i'll be sure to get some pictures of Wintergreen and andy busting his ass on a snowboard. I really want to get a good photographer to get some nice pictures of me on the terrain park. The only pictures i have are from a few years ago when i attempted a backflip and ended up in the hospital (concussions are not fun). I'm also going to try and actually get pictures of everything i did in Ap Studio art class, and the stuff from portfolio art.

Im Back

So alot has changed in the 2 years since I've been on DeviantArt. The most exciting is that I'm attending Radford University studying Criminal Justice. Hopefully I can steal back some of my Ap Studio Art paintings from my mother and get some good scans taken. Hopefully I can also get some performance pictures taken of the Radford Bellydance performance group I'm a member of.
