DPC EP "expert" review


So what I'm going to try and do here is write a review for Driftless Pony Club's new EP "expert". I have never written a review, so ill do my best job. And of course I'm doing it with the now unhidden goal of gaining viewers and possibly becoming web-famous. So here I begin.

Driftless Pony Club's new EP "expert" is an awesome listing experience. Although I'm not entirely sure on the meaning of the some songs like "bike" or even "legend of archery" I still love listing to it and singing along with them. The song themes are very diverse in theme, ranging from amputation (imaginary blood) to planetary debate (Pluto vs. Neptune). They do a very good job keeping the entertainment coming and my imagination running. It has been my primary source of music since my CD arrived in the mail on Tuesday the 25 of august, 2009. And to my surprise, it was signed by Craig Benzine, the lead singer, known on the Youtubes as wheezywaiter (Check out his youtube channel here http://www.youtube.com/user/wheezywaiter the bands youtube is http://www.youtube.com/user/sambonejr ). And that is one of the great benefits of buying physical CDs from DFTBA records. DPC's CD is available on http://dftba.com/ along with several other excellent CDs, including Hank Green's "So Jokes" and Chameleon Circuit's self titled album.

thanks for dealing with my review!
DFTBA, Taylor Fritz

APUSH summer assignment

for my summer assignment for ap us history we had two articles and three chapters of a book and had to do one page response papers for each, this is my favorite of my essays
here is one article we had to read, we went till the line "One can lie outright about the past."
http://tinyurl.com/d4txth

after reading this i was totally pissed at Columbus, and here, is part of my essay, please don't plagiarize.
i hope my teacher doesn't call me out on plagiarizing on my own essay, that would be suck.

"In Columbus' journal, telling about how the natives approached their arrival, this is how I read it, “the Indians here are great. They gave us all this cool stuff and we didn't have to do anything for it! I bet with a few more men we could enslave them all and make them do whatever we want!” And that, in todays world is totally insane. In Star Trek, (bear with me) they had the Prime Directive, not to interfere with lifeforms that have not yet reached warp technology. If only something like this was in effect in the days of exploration. The Incas and Aztecs could be just as advanced as we are. But, also the United States of America wouldn't exist and I wouldn't exist. Perhaps this will be our example of what not to do if we find aliens in space who are lower in technology than us."


this is the Columbus journal part i mention.
They ... brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned... . They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features.... They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane... . They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.

Editing softwear

So I got a problem, my video editing softwear doesn't do what I want. I need to be able to speed up clips, but I don't have the ability to do it. Right now I'm useing magix 12 or something, it's alright, but it's missing some shtuff I want, I liked windows movie maker for all the effects (affects?), such as speed up and slow down, but my camera does .mov so it doesn't work. I've tried saving clips in magix as .wmv, then windows movie maker will freeze about 46 secs into editing it and also won't play the audio. What the shell bro? I want some help, at least some sympathy. Comment me please

You can now leave comments as amnonimous!!!!!!!!!

the machete man and the shack

during the summer of 2008 my two friends and i embarked into an amazing journey into cinema. here is our epic film, the machete man!



the best part is, we didn't have a script, or even a storyline when we started, just a machete and a video camera. we found a tree stand in their woods and then just started filming, no for planning at all. we did reshoot a few of the scenes when we desided that this was a serious film...
here are the bloopers


we didn't plan these bloopers out, thats actually what we filmed the first time. pretty epic huh?


the whole thing came about when dillon and dalton king invited me to stay over in their "party shack" (an old puppy factory fixed up and moved into the woods). i was a shy nerdy kid with a huge imagination, o wait, i still am, anyway. they had a machete and i was of course playing with it a majority of the night pretending it was a sword and whatnot, me and the guys really got to know each other better that night. we had all kinds of adventures, and im proud to call those guys my best friends still to this day. i've spent the night at their shack 3 or 4 times now and the fun never disapoints me. wanna see some videos of our fun times at the party shack, both from 2008? well here are fun with dill and dax 1 and 2




and dont think i didn't help with the shack ether. i donated both a carpet and a bed and boxspring to that fine establisment, they also got a couch and a lazy boy in that jont, pretty effin awesome, we plan to do some repair work sometime this year, you know, mold and whatnot, give it a fresh paintjob maybe, i don't know

comments are appreciated!

iPod touch

So for my bday my parents got me a referbishd iPod, and I love it. Actually using it right now to write this blog post. It's a bit harder to type then a keyboard, but I think I can get used to it. I feel I'm
Making good time
Yeah... So I've got we cool apps on here like connect four and tictactoe and tweetdeck, follow me on twitted by the way, twitter.com/tfritz92. It's what the cool kids do
If you have any app suggestions for me leave me comments
k

Funny story: last night I was checking out new apps at like 11:30 when I found on about drinking 8 glasses or water a day so I got it for the fun of it. I then relized that I had like 25 mins or so to complete the task of drinking 64 oz of water, so I ran down the stairs and found a cup
Marked with 7oz. (I would have to drink 9+ 1/7 of these cups). So the challenge began. I'm not gunna lie, I felt sick after 3 but I treked on, my siblings watching. After the 7th one I had to quit, I honestly felt like I was gunna chuck. So I called it quits at 49 oz. MAybe one day I'll complete the task of 64 oz of water in one sitting, but for now I'm not gunna try

The end
