GOOD BYE BLOGGER. NICE TO KNOW YA.

2010-08-23T17:34:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, I will no longer be blogging with BLOGGER. I recently discovered that there is a 1000 picture limit; any space required beyond that point costs money. So good bye BLOGGER, and hello TUMBLR. -- www.jessieanthony.tumblr.com

This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever put on canvas. I sold the original, and once again, I'm stuck with just a photograph.

I need to start painting things for myself, things that I keep forever. Anyways, you can even see the holes toward the top of the photo where the thumbtacks were.

The lighting of this picture wasn't too great, so it was sort of difficult to improve the image on Adobe. But hey, I tried.

PROBABLY one of the coolest things I've EVER read.

2010-08-02T01:17:00.000-07:00

IN CASE YOU HAD TROUBLE WITH THE ABOVE PRINT...

The aphrodisiac of wanting is well known. Want implies a desire for something not in your grasp. Wanting leads to getting. But from getting we arrive at having, and this is another ballgame. And what about being in love with the woman who is in love with you? This creature is someone you want to sleep with, and someone you want to talk to, and you can take her out into the world, and stand there with her, and you can not take her out and just stand there in your bedroom in your underwear. Maybe you get on your bed and jump up and down. Because though you are a fool, you are her fool. She is the one you love, but she is also the one who -- and this is certainly one of the most terrifying conditions a man can find himself in -- loves you. One day your gaze wanders over the vast gorgeous ocean of beautiful women walking around and fixes on one woman. A flicker of the animal, something rustles inside of you. And then the predicament. To go forth or stay where you are, with who you have -- she who loves you -- and with whom, in spite of that you still want to do the nasty. Often. You can go forth. But if you do, you can't ever come back. It's one or the other, either/or, this or that. And what is "that"? That is the endless ocean of possibility that will never end. And "this"? What is this? THIS IS YOUR LIFE. Do you want to start living it? One day you will say, I DO.

This guy is on fire.

2010-07-31T01:34:00.000-07:00

I drew this during a college lecture a couple years back.

From a picture. A picture that was on my binder.

The lecture was garbage.

It was science.

This guy was like BEN STEIN! No joke.

Super mundane, and very uninteresting subject matter.

Anyways...it's been hanging on my cork board right above my computer ever since.

Scanned it today, and went at it on the computer.

The things I do when alcohol consumption is not an option.

Btw it's been 17 days since I've had a drink. Not bad.

How am I gonna print this thing???

ECTOPLASM improved

2010-07-29T01:35:00.000-07:00

Last October, I painted ECTOPLASM for my friend...as his birthday gift.

It actually turned out better than I thought.

When I finished, I almost didn't wanna give it to him, and rather, hang it up in MY room. hah!

Well anyways, he now has it..."THE ORIGINAL," and all I have is a picture of it.

A picture I took the day before his birthday.

BUT THANK GOD FOR ADOBE BRIDGE CS5!

My first time using BRIDGE was today, and I just played and played and played around FOR HOURS!

I can almost say that after I finished editing the "picture version" of ECTOPLASM, that it came out BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL! Getting it turned into a poster FOR SURE!

JA PHOTOGRAPHY.

2010-07-27T02:32:00.000-07:00

I've been using Adobe Illustrator (Ai) and Photoshop (Ps) quite a bit lately. Mostly just playing around, but the more I use these programs, the more interested I become. I plan on purchasing some books for these programs in the near future; or better yet, taking online tutorials.

At the moment I'm trying to make a logo.

The possibilities are endless.

Crazy how something at the bottom corner of a photograph

makes it look that much more legitimate.

And OBVIOUSLY

I DID NOT

take the following

two pictures.

But.

Kudos to whoever did.

CARNE ASADA FRIES.

My brothers carne asada fries,

(to the left) ACTUALLY TASTED BETTER than the fries from Alvaros (our local 24 hour taco shop). I was surprised with how good it was. He used carne asada meat from TRADER JOES, homemade GUACAMOLE, and CRISS-CUT fries instead of your usual straight cut. A--MAZE--ING!

2010-07-06T09:40:00.000-07:00

It's been quite some time since I've been on blogger. I guess my excuse is, my laptop was showing its spots. Super slow, overheating all the time even with the fan I purchased, and occasionally shutting down on me. Might I add that it would shut down on me at the MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES! Well, I decided to update. I finally purchased a MAC. And it's nothing short of what I expected. I plan on putting more focus in photography. I'm still a newby, but hopefully by the end of the summer I'll know my way around the dial.

I take my last final tomorrow. My final "final." I'm graduating from college. Although it took awhile to get here, I'm still glad that I did. I'm glad I followed through with something, for once in my life. Immediately after I finish this test, I am going straight home to drink a beer. Maybe two.

Me quito el final de mañana por última vez. Mi final "final". Estoy de graduarse de la universidad. Aunque tomó tiempo llegar hasta aquí, todavía estoy contenta de haberlo hecho. Me alegro de haber seguido adelante con algo, por una vez en mi vida. Inmediatamente después de que termine esta prueba, voy directo a casa para beber una cerveza. Tal vez dos.

dalhin ko ang aking huling huling bukas. Ang aking huling "huling." Ako pagtatapos mula sa kolehiyo. Kahit na ito kinuha sandali upang makarating dito, ako pa rin natutuwa na ako did. Natutuwa akong ako sinundan sa pamamagitan ng isang bagay, para sa isang beses sa aking buhay. Kaagad pagkatapos tapusin ko sa pagsusulit na ito, ako ay pagpunta tuwid sa bahay uminom ng isang beer. Siguro dalawang.

2010-04-17T22:44:00.000-07:00

Today was insane. My group and I shot 3 videos for our senior experience project. 3 videos that we had to make for our company sponsor. These videos were shot at my dads work. I owe my dad big time for letting us do such a thing. We spent 5 hours, (from 9am-2pm) shooting videos on what we hope to be the ticket to gradation. Honestly...it's virtually impossible to fail this class...BUT...we feel the day didn't go as well as it could have. [ash ses harro] But in the end...my group...along with myself...joined my dad for pitchers and pool at the local bar. FOLLOWED BY...everyone gathering at my house for the "STRIKEFORCE" fight. Not as exciting as we expected...but nevertheless, good times. Melissa...where you sleepin' tonight???????????????? LOL

50 Egg Dishes

2010-04-14T22:35:00.000-07:00

Sometimes when at work I pass the time by reading magazines. Most of the time I pay attention to GQ and Maxim. Rarely do I pay attention to the Food Network Magazine. However, I checked it out, and came across this booklet inside called "50 Egg Dishes." I'm an egg FREAK! ... so I had to have it. NO...I DONT INTEND TO COOK ALL 50! Theres actually a few in the booklet that I disagree with. But a majority of them sound super dank. I guess I'll just cook the ones that appeal to me whenever time permits.

NO. 36 Nest Egg

Cut a round out of a slice of bread; toast the bread in a nonstick skillet with butter. Crack an egg into the hole, add salt and pepper, cover and cook until the white sets.

summer is right around the corner...

2010-04-14T13:38:00.001-07:00

Just a few things I'm looking forward to this summer, in no particular order.

It's been a little while. I must say, I've actually been keeping up with school. Busy I am. Today I'm stoked. I just finished my last case analysis for my strategic management class. At the beginning of the semester I was dreading the fact that we had to get randomly called on and drilled in front of the whole class, 8 TIMES! No more of that. My group and I also finished a 15 - page paper over these last few days. BIG LOAD OFF THE CHEST. Tonight I think I'll challenge my dad to a game of pool. And win I shall.

3 second TIMELAPSE of work piling up.

2010-03-03T00:15:00.000-08:00

For my senior project my group and I have to make 2 viral videos and 1 professional video for a 401(k) brokerage firm. We all agreed that a few timeplases would add a little spice...and since i LOVE ME SOME TIMELAPSES i got the ball rollin'. this is just an example of what the final product would look like...( i wanted to practice to get the timing right, because it should only last a few seconds...). After watching this 3 second clip...imagine the books and overdue bills being portfolios and stacks of paper...and at the very top, a folder that says..."401(k) information." The basic premise for our first commercial is an HR Manager being bombarded with tons of paperwork by her current 401(k) representative...and we're basically marketing why companies should switch 401(k) brokerage firms...to a much better one...the one who hired us. Commercial won't be done til the end of April...but we just started so I'm kinda amped...

LOVE THIS TIE.

Me no feel good.

2010-02-15T22:59:00.000-08:00

today i woke up and felt sick. actually...i started to feel it right before i went to bed last night. its mainly my throat...it started out with a slight cough. then i awoke this morning with a headache and a heavier cough. i almost didn't go to school today but i had a case study and had to present. plus...every class sesh that i miss is 2% off your final grade. to me thats just crazy. but it is what it is. anyways...ive been drinking lots of water and tea, and i cut my cigarette intake in half. why i haven't cut my intake completely?? beats me. hopefully ill feel better tomorrow. i actually have a furlough day tomorrow so NO SCHOOL AT ALL. i think i'll use the time to get better. good night.

YOUR OPINION PLEASE.

Amazing philly cheesesteaks this place has. I haven't had many philly cheesteaks in my life...but its definitely the best. and theres something about that arrogant bastard that makes me tired. a very powerful beer indeed. as soon as i got home from this place i took a two hour nap. then i woke up and continued the path to inebriation. i finished the first class of my senior semester. it was only a 3 week class that was worth 1 unit. nevertheless...it was very fast paced and consisted of many assignments. super stoked it is now over. my group and i went straight to philly frank's and tipped a few.

Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said (to anyone)
If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under 15's playing football in the park
Lets sleep in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got

I love you in the morning, when you're still hungover
I love you in the morning, when you're still strung out
I love you in the morning...
I work hard all week and so do you

We deserve to let off some steam
Let all the drugs creep in
When we need to rage through this life
There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps
We're doing the best with what we've got

I love you in the morning, when you're still hungover
I love you in the morning, when you're still strung out
I love you in the morning...

When I'm with you, I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness
You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words

Noche pesada, fue una noche pesada
Se siente como que hemos vuelto de entre los muertos
Noche pesada, fue una noche pesada
No puedo recordar lo que dije (a nadie)
Si nos levantamos ahora podemos coger la tarde
Ver las menores de 15 años de fútbol jugando en el parque de
Le permite dormir en St. Leonard's en este día alcohólicas
Estamos haciendo lo mejor con lo que tenemos

Te amo en la mañana, cuando todavía estás con resaca
Te amo en la mañana, cuando todavía estás Strung Out
Te amo en la mañana ...
Yo trabajo duro toda la semana y tú también

Nos merecemos a desahogarse
Que todos los medicamentos en la fluencia
Cuando tenemos que ira a través de esta vida
Puede haber otros que son más listos que tú
Que tienen las respuestas correctas, que llevar mejor los zapatos
Olvídate de los derretimiento de los casquetes de hielo
Estamos haciendo lo mejor con lo que tenemos

Te amo en la mañana, cuando todavía estás con resaca
Te amo en la mañana, cuando todavía estás Strung Out
Te amo en la mañana ...

Cuando estoy contigo, me siento tranquilo
Una perla en su ostra
Cabeza en mi pecho, una sonrisa silenciosa
Una clase privada de la felicidad
Usted ve proclamas gigantes están muy bien
Pero nuestro amor es más fuerte que las palabras

May I have a cheeseburger with an egg please?

2010-01-26T21:39:00.000-08:00

Its been awhile. But I've been super busy. Today is probably the first time in about 10 days that I actually "cooked" my dinner. Lately its been through the use of a microwave or a drive-thru window. And the combination of an egg and a burger is absolutely delightful. Thought I'd share the experience with you.

Saw this movie roughly 3 weeks after it came out...AND STILL HAD TO WAIT IN LINE. Watched it in IMAX 3 - D. And I never knew what "IMAX" stood for until I saw this movie. "Image maximization." But anyways...I've seen 3 - D movies in the past...but this one blew them away. I can honestly say, that, AVATAR, is one of the BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. If you were to ask me...if it makes my top 10 of ALL TIME??...I would have to think about it for awhile...but would probably end up saying yes....and that says a lot. This is a must see. And you can't wait for a blockbuster night. You definitely have to see it on the big screen.

Early Tuesday Morning.

2009-12-29T01:39:00.000-08:00

It has been awhile. Let me start by saying Christmas was Merry. Although my father was in a different state and my brother in a different city, I was fortunate enough to spend it with me momma. She fed me two dinners! Thats right two, and baked me cookies. I slept there and had to leave early the next morning because I had to work. But work was not a drag at all. It was good money and only 5 hours of my day. I came home that night to an empty house, with an empty stomach. Sad face. I was all by my lonesome watching the Chargers whoop the crap out of the Titans. Bored I was, so I decided to put one of my gifts to use. I started chugging. see below. The homies came over as I chugged and we did our annual Secret Santa gift exchange. I got the RED VANS I've been wanting. Stoked. We drank 40's, played poker, and ended the day merrily with carne asada fries. Since Christmas I've been in the HOLIDAY EATING MODE...and haven't been making too many wise decisions. Today I felt like cooking chinese food for some reason. I've been craving it a lot lately. It was pretty good I must say. I also watched the entire season of Eastbound and Down tonight...super funny, I love Katy Mixon.

one of my gifts.

Relief Pitcher Kenny Powers was poised to rule the Big Leagues, but two things got in the way: his fading fastball and his insufferable personality. After a spectacular career flame-out, Kenny came home to Shelby County, NC and picked up a job as a substitute gym teacher (mostly so his brother Dustin would stop threatening to kick him out). He's spent every moment since then cashing in the last of his dying fame while plotting his inevitable comeback... one beer at a time. 'Eastbound & Down' is the latest project to come out of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's comedic goldmine Gary Sanchez Productions, which also launched FunnyOrDie.com. Starring Danny McBride ('Pineapple Express'), Katy Mixon ('Four Christmases'), John Hawkes ('Deadwood') and a host of other talented comedians, 'Eastbound & Down' was created by McBride along with two friends from film school: Jody Hill and Ben Best. The hilarious new series was shot on location in North Carolina and also includes a few guest appearances by Ferrell as a local car dealer with marvelous hair.

Today was an incredibly productive day. I would love to talk about it in detail but I am incredibly tired. I definitely need more days like today. You will very rarely see me awake at 630 in the AM. Today I took care of a lot of business yet it was somehow fun and exciting. I can't explain it.

Today was an awesome day for football. The Chargers won...and I'm still in the pool. The 6 Coronas I had caused me to take a 2 hour nap immediately after dinner, which was at 6 pm. Now I can't sleep. And now I'm hungry. And now I want 6 more Coronas hahah.

Parmigiano-Reggiano

Parmigiano-Reggiano, called parmesan in the English language, is a hard granular cheese, cooked but not pressed, named after the producing areas of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Bologna (all in Emilia-Romagna), and Mantova (in Lombardia), Italy. Under Italian law only cheese produced in these provinces may be labeled "Parmigiano-Reggiano," while European law classifies the name as a protected designation of origin.Parmigiano is the Italian adjective for Parma. Parmesan is the French-language name for it and also serves as the loose term for the cheese in the English language. The name Parmesan is used for cheeses imitating Parmigiano-Reggiano, with phrases such as Italian hard cheese adopted to skirt legal constraints. The closest legitimate Italian cheese to Parmigiano-Reggiano is Grana Padano.

BACK TO SCHOOL.

2009-12-02T01:32:00.000-08:00

After a long and relaxing Thanksgiving break, I somehow managed to make it to my first class of the week. It felt like I haven't been in school for 30 days, and listening to a lecture was the last thing I wanted to do. But my marketing lecture today was actually rather interesting. The entire lecture focused on "Marketing and children," and how marketers directly target kids. It was based on 3 solid reasons. Number one being, (1)that kids have their own money to spend. You know like...allowance, and money from grandma and grandpa. Number two (2)kids are the consumers of tomorrow. This is where marketers get the kids hooked on a product while they're super young, in hopes that they become brand loyal for the rest of their lives. I'm actually guilty because I've been eating flamin' hot cheetos ever since the 4th grade. (Surprised they've even been out that long.) And number three (3) kids influence purchasing decisions for the entire family. An unhappy kid leads to unhappy parents. A lot of parents give in and just buy for their children whatever it is that they want. Kids are such an easy target. They watch tv ALL DAY. The average 8-13 year old watches 3.5 hours of television per day, and roughly 40,000 commercials per year. Anyways, this is the clip that my professor showed to the class. He always makes it interesting hah.

Turn your volume down, this kid is annoying.

I recently installed Cycorder on my iPhone. It's a pretty cool application if your iPhone is jailbroken. I also just got a program (DiskAid) that allows you to bring your actual videos to your computer. Anyways I'm just testing the capabilities. This is the first video I've posted...it's SUPER blurry and it was shot horribly. but whatever. in due time.

LEEBOY and CHRISANNES birthdays.

2009-11-18T23:17:00.000-08:00

Leenon and Chrisanne had a joint birthday bash. A party bus to downtown San Diego. We were originally supposed to go to Sidebar, but the bouncers were boneheads and made us wait longer than we should have...so we made like bouncers and BOUNCED. LOL SMILEY FACE. Went to Lucky D's and closed it down. Everyone was inebriated. But thats okay. Good times.

Chargers v. Giants

2009-11-09T09:47:00.000-08:00

A very exciting game indeed. The Chargers pulled it off in the final seconds making the final score 21-20. We spent the entire day eating, drinking, and watching football. There were about 15 Charger fans, and 2 Giant fans. hah.

SUPA DANK BWEKFAST.

2009-10-30T00:05:00.000-07:00

My brother woke me up this morning and said..."Bro lets get breakfast." It was 9 something...and I was super tired...but he kept insisting and so I finally got my lazy grumpy ass out of bed and we went to get breakfast. He treated me. The Original House of Pancakes. And it was super dank. Thanks bradder!

I had what they call a "Veggie Bennie." And my brother had their "Crab cake benedict." D-LISH.

"The Veggie Bennie." Two pouched eggs on top of spinach, sauteed mushrooms, onions and carrots, all on top of two whole wheat slices of toast. And of course hollandaise smothered on top. Served with potatoe pancakes.

"Grab Cake Benedict." Pouched eggs on top of crab cakes and english muffins, smothered with hollandaise sauce. Served with potatoe pancakes. The waitress misunderstood my brothers order. He initially ordered toast on the side...then he realized that there were english muffins underneath...so he opted out and told her after she walked away..."You know what...cancel my toast, I realize I have english muffins." She took that as "NO ENGLISH MUFFINS AT ALL". hahahha. When his plate arrived I know he was sad. Sorry browsky.

THIS IS DOPE.

I NEED NEW SUNGLASSES.

2009-10-27T23:54:00.000-07:00

i lost my sunglasses/its a bummer because i got so used to using them while driving/now when i drive i find myself "squinting" constantly/what a drag/i need to replace them rather quickly/i used to put sunglasses under the category of "things you really don't need, but want"/not anymore/i need me some new shades/

I stumbled across these online and thought immediately to myself "siiiiick." Then as i read on...I realized they're not your average pair of sunglasses. Turns out these bad boys are already sold out. Apparently they only made 480. lame...

Alife have teamed up with Italian sunglasses manufacturer Retrosuperfuture to create a custom frame with matching custom lenses inspired by the wayfarer style. Each pair of sunglasses will be hand made from Italy and will feature Carl Zeiss lenses. Only 480 pairs will be made in total.

The minute I saw Jessica Alba wearing them I knew I would never own these sunglasses. Looks like I'll stick to the Wayfarers

2009-10-26T21:46:00.000-07:00

The sun set a lot faster than I anticipated. This is at Hilltop Park, which is a great park because it's pretty much on top of a mountain, and you can see all the way to the coast on a good day. The view today was amazing. I'm glad I was able to get a lot of cloud movement. I realize I need to have A LOT MORE PICTURES in order to make a longer timelapse. This is roughly 150 pictures played back at 15 frames/second.

WTF.

2009-10-25T23:49:00.000-07:00

This definitely makes the list of the craziest things I've ever seen. I can't imagine how much time and preparation this shit takes.

2009-10-21T22:51:00.000-07:00

I'm at the point in my life where I'm almost where I want to be. Everyone has an idea of how they want their life to pan out. I've got plenty of ideas. I could win the lotto and live on the beach...any beach...and be happy. I could also move up in my current job and bring in a good salary and raise a family...and be happy. Or I can continue my current path, AND FINALLY GET THIS FINANCE DEGREE I'VE BEEN WORKING SO HARD FOR! I'm sure I have other options but those are my top 3. The way school has been going for me this semester I will be on my way to option 3 and I will finally and successfully obtain that degree by May of 2010. When that day comes, I think it will be the second happiest day of my life. The happiest day of my life will be the day she says "yes"...but lets not jump the gun. People that I've gone to school with that have already graduated...and even friends that I have that already got their degrees tell me..."I wish I was still in school." No way. I get the point...I'm sure they're not happy with their current job...or maybe the pay sucks...or maybe the hours suck...BUT TRUST ME...I'm not going back. I'm 25 years old and I haven't had a break since pre-school. People even tell me "OH MY GOSH THE ECONOMY SUCKS I CAN'T FIND A JOB!" Yes...I understand that the economy is at a low...and it may be a tad bit harder to find that certain job...but you know what?? FUCK IT. Keep trying. The day after I graduate...I'm gonna go online...and plan a trip. The day I get back from that trip...it's on. I've been thinking about the future a lot lately. About whats gonna happen over the next 6 months. Maybe it's because theres a meeting coming up at school that Spring 10' Graduates MUST ATTEND! Or maybe it's because I'm ready to move out and be on my own. Whatever the reason...whether I'm excited about graduating...or I'm ready to be on my own...I know that the future is gonna be great. I love my past...I love my present...and I know I will love my future. By the way...I am typsy...in case you haven't noticed. I have a marketing presentation tomorrow that I'm gonna kill...but wish me luck just in case. Good night.

P.S. My dad is a pool shark.

It was my homies birthday on October 15th. His sister decided to throw him a surprise party two days later. She planned it at least a month in advance. I didn't know what to get him either, but he's been bugging me about this picture called "Ectoplasm." I decided to make it his gift. It took me roughly 12 hours. Not in a row. About 5 sessions total.

and of course...it DOES NOT COMPARE to the original by talented Brandon Boyd (lead singer of INCUBUS) But what can I say? I did my best.

TACO MONDAY.

2009-10-12T21:15:00.000-07:00

My brother and I Made fish tacos tonight. Absolutely tasteful. We used a combination of both Halibit and COD. I couldn't tell you which I liked better. They were both amazing. We even made the white sauce to go along. Super simple.

White sauce:
1/2 cup of mayonaisse (or sour cream)
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon of cumin
1/2 tablespoon of dill
salt and pepper to taste

2009-10-11T00:35:00.000-07:00

My brother made burgers tonight. They were D-LISH. He put all sorts of ingredients in the meat; ingredients that I'm not at liberty to discuss. While eating we confabulated about all the peculiar concoctions that we will serve in our family restaurant. Yes. Thats right. One day there will be a family restaurant. Until then, we're working on as many signature dishes as possible...because 10 years from now, they'll be on a menu. This burger, will beyond any doubt make that menu, and massive it shall be.

add onions...

add portobello...

VOILA' !
