My Perception of Time.

Isn't it funny how nothing ever seems to turn out how you want it to? My summer has been flying by and I am approaching the start of school painfully soon. As my summer concludes, I can't help but ask myself what it was that I wanted to get out of the summer. Well, a break from school first of all. Aside from the extra rest and none of the work, it didn't fail to stick in my mind that I only had 12 weeks until school started, then 11, 10. . . . now its only 2 weeks away. What happened?

What else did I want to do this summer? Well I went to Washington, D.C. like I planned, worked about 30 hours a week, stayed up late, slept in, and still somehow found time to fulfill my hobbies. School, for me at least, has always felt like it is just a burden. Last year was very awkward for me socially, so maybe that's what I'm not looking forward to. Everyone says it will be better because my all my friends will be going to the same school as me this year. I guess we will have to wait and see.

The work. Everyone says education is so important. I'm all for the gaining of more knowledge, but what about knowledge that matters to me? I understand the math, the literature, the social studies, because those are apparently what we need to know to be accepted in society. Yet somehow all my talents involve nothing I have learned in school. They don't teach creativity in school, they don't teach social skills, yet somehow those are some of the most important things you need to have in order to succeed.

Creativity is my best outlet, and I hope I will be more accepted because of that.

Same Here.

Everything has been pretty much the same for me this summer. I have been working around 30 hours a week, continue to make videos, and continue to enjoy my time off of school. I still have not studied for my test to get a driver's permit, been too 'busy'.

Almost made $8 from AdSense! And that's not just for my blog, but my actual website, projectprodigy.tv, click the link and pay us a visit (it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out our "sponsored links" either :)

Started a campaign to get 100 subscribers on YouTube. Has not been going well : (
Here is the video, if you are interested:

Time to make the move. . .

After six months of very much enjoying a standard definition camcorder, and I still continue to be interested in making videos, I think it is time to move up to an HD camcorder. After two straight days of research, I have purchased a new camcorder. It is nothing that special or that great, but it will get me full 1080i HD quality in my videos. It is an older (last year) model of the Sony Handy-Cam, the HDR-HC7. It offers a lot of options for recording, a nice looking design, some touch screen controls, a microphone jack, and a proprietary "hot shoe" for accessories like a light or mounted microphone. I purchased it off ebay for a very reasonable price, and it should be here within a week or so. I think it should go without saying that I am pretty amped.


My second love.

So Close.

I have been working non-stop the past seven days, so I apologize for lack of blog. I did make a video, though, that I think is pretty cool:



So now just two more days before we leave for D.C., and I am getting very excited. As always, be sure to look at the website projectprodigy.tv, and look at the sponsored links. Sorry for the lack of blog, but I thought I better post one, I think it has been like a week since my last blog.

Finally Made it through the School Year!

I mentioned in my last post that Zach McLeod may join Prodigy. Well, I am very pleased to say that everything is final. He has joined us. Here is a video that I think serves as an appropriate "welcoming" of Zach into Prodigy, and a good introduction of him to all of my viewers and other Prodigy fans (all 3 of you):



You may remember the video I made a week or two ago, the one I made to "relieve my stress". Well I decided that video would be perfect to use for this little venture. . .

Trying to give my videos the right "mood" and get rid of the home video look. Let me know how I did with that by voting on my poll:



So yes, school is finally over. . . for a couple of months at least. The next big thing to look forward to will be the trip to Washington, D.C. for NHD. We will depart a week from this Sunday and stay for a whole week. I will probably post lots of pictures, and a huge blog when we get back, not to mention all the video footage we can get! So I'm not the only one that should be looking forward to that trip.
