Dear reader(s),

Looks like I'm going to move my blog (at least for the time being) because Six Apart has completely neglected Vox. You can read about my Chuck Taylor incident here. I'm getting a new blog, which is http://www.coryrobertsintokyo.net, which is nowhere ready yet, it'll be hosted by Go Daddy, and have the WordPress blogging tool and this WordPress theme installed. I'll keep my Vox account so I'm not deleting Vox or anything (some videos will be deleted). I'll come back to check up on your posts.

I chose to be a less violent person and not play any video games that have the "M" rating (also the DVDs that have the "R" rating/the TV shows that have the "TV-14"/"TV-MA" rating/the CDs that have the "Parental Advisory" label) since my father told me to continue reading the bible, and follow the ten (10) commandments. I know it really bad about violating social networking sites' policies and guidelines because they can ban an IP address permanently -- so I chose not to violate any more social networking sites' policies and guidelines. Since my new blog is coming, you can find me on Twitter, Flickr, Last.fm, Plurk, and my Amazon wishlist until the new blog is ready. I'm going to use Moleskine sketchbooks, Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils, Staedtler Mars plastic eraser, and the Sakura Pigma Brush pen to draw. If I want to save money for Tokyo I have to apply for a job at a fast food restaurant. I can get Photoshop, the new Nikon DSLR camera, and my own iPod in the future.

Take care - and thanks for reading.

It's not good to cheat (not video gaming) when married.

He divorced his wife because he was cheating. Then they head for a permanent split. It's not about cheating in video games, it's not about using cheat codes, it's just this: The divorce of Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren (pronounced eel-LIN nore-DE-grin). He was injured in a car accident last month, it wasn't good. I still haven't watched golf in a while, I may have been busy playing my DS.

Please read the full article why they got divorced. Six Apart has completely neglected Vox because they still have to fix the iStockPhoto conduit.

Edit - December 20, 2009: I have not seen the J-pop blogger MorningBerryz in a while but now her blog is gone. MorningBerryz cancelled her Vox account without any reason since most of her blog posts, her photos she took, her entire library are now gone (also her stuff on her blog that I have favorited), but I'm still going to buy my DSi in the future.

I finally got it all to match , I'm rather proud of myself.

I stopped drawing anything for three months. I have to apply for a job in a fast food restaurant (Carvel, DQ, Dunkin' Donuts, Pizza Hut, etc.) I will buy the domain blog for myself this weekend. :)

What's [really] charming and cute are photos of a "girl who is happy in her father's old boots with untied laces". The boots that I bought 4 years ago have spider webs (ugh, yuck!) in them. I'll get new ones in January or later in the winter. I will make up a wish list for Christmas, then I read the bible. I wonder if one of my nieces wear my old boots because I have this drawing by natasa10 and this photograph by dohreme on Flickr stuck in my head now.

Solange Magnano died last week due to her "rear behind" issues. Kusumi Koharu graduated this month, I will [definitely] miss her. The GBA cover on my DS is missing, hope I get a DSi in the future (no, I don't play GBA games that much).

Edit - 2009/12/14 - I have made my list and the domain blog is ready to be purchased. I should start buying it from Go Daddy. I really don't want ads, just the WordPress blogging tool.

Here's the 2009 recap. I was doing the coin toss. I flipped the coin. It was tails, so I will have no more teen years next year in February. There's a countdown for graduation for myself, which is on the Vox's widget sidebar. So, it's "goodbye, surfing the internet (Web 1.0)", and "hello, Web 2.0". Here's what I have been drawing:

The coryrobertsintokyo.net splash page, including the "ENTER" arrow, which takes you to the new blog (which is not ready yet):

CRIT splash

I used colored pencils and softlead pencils to make the drawing. Also, this:

Social Network buttons

I bought my first Arashi album (read this here) from CDJapan, my father was thinking, "Why do you buy CDs from Japan?" The two CDs from that site costs about $60, then my father recommended me to buy the CDs during my Tokyo trip. The only thing to work for money before graduation is applying for a job. So, I will have to apply for a job. Need Arashi's 10 anniversary Vox banners? Here (part 1, part 2). Just remember to credit me ("Cory" or "coryrobertsintokyo" with the blog URL http://coryrobertsintokyo.vox.com).

I'm getting a new camera, it's a Nikon DSLR (it will be bought at Amazon.com, along the new Casio compass watch), they will bought in the future.

The final drawing before I go on winter hiatus:

Dear Friends

Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident today, but he's fine right now. I haven't been watching golf in a while, but I missed the Thanksgiving Day Parade yesterday, you can see this tweet here. I know it's really bad about being a violent person, but the YouTube conduit is fixed, thanks to the Six Apart staff. You can view the full article here.

On my Flickr incident, basically many people are blocking me from their Flickr because I was found stealing photographs from their Flickr without their authorization because of fd's Flickr Toys' Mosaic Maker, I should've tell Mr. John Watson (the owner of fd's Flickr Toys) to remove the Mosaic Maker from the site because it looks like a "stealing-other-people's-Flickr-photographs" effect -- and the photographs I have added to my Flickr favorites, which I was using fd's Flickr Toys' Mosaic Maker, which are allowed to stay up, they put Creative Commons license on, but I didn't want to take the risk. So, I removed the Flickr photographs from my photostream (and the ones that I have added to my Flickr favorites) with Creative Commons license.

Then I noticed that someone uploaded inappropriate photographs on Flickr and blocked me without any reason, because I was adding them as friends to my Flickr contacts during that incident. No one wants to upload a photograph that have inappropriate gesture/profanity to their Flickr photostream.

Then finally, I was found venting frustrations/swearing/stealing photographs that the Flickr staff reported me for doing that, until they didn't say anything about my incident -- and my first Flickr account was deleted by the Flickr staff without warning. I had over 150 photographs in my Flickr photostream, and over 100 Flickr contacts, they are now bit the dust. I chose to be less violent and not play/watch any violent movies/TV shows (you know, the ones that have the "TV-14", the "TV-MA" ratings for the TV shows; the ESRB ratings "M" and "AO" for the video games; the MPAA ratings "R" and "NC-17" for movies; and the "Parental Advisory" label for certain albums), you know they (sometimes) have profanity. Watching too much televison/playing too much video games/too much of computer time can rot your brain.

Then I get ready for Web 2.0, the new blog will have a "G" and "PG" rating -- English text typed in my own words, photographs which are taken by me, and illustrations that are drawn by me -- no computer and video game screenshots or YouTube videos, they won't be uploaded. I can't move out of New Jersey as of yet, just move the city of Rahway (I know that most IP addresses in Essex County are banned permanently, I'm telling you this, it's really bad about violating social networking sites' policies and guidelines, you know. That is mean. They can ban a person's IP permanently). Maybe I should move to Silver Lake in Los Angeles after Rahway, New Jersey.

Time for me to get ready for Web 2.0 by buying me a domain blog. This blog is all archival, I'll let you know when the final post is up.

Update: My father told me to read the bible and reading the 10 commandments to be a better person, because it's really bad about being a violent person and violating social networking sites' policies and guidelines, as described above. Also here, if you want to read about my incident. I'm switching my real Chucks to Levi's "fake Converse" shoes.

This is a must see conference for everyone around LA interested in the status quo of computational design techniques and urban design sensibilities. To put it in a Hollywood term: A Blockbuster!

Francisco Rodriguez died yesterday, he was a Venezuelan boxer. He was 25 years old. You can read the full article here.

I have to read the bible, and I have to read it slowly to get more of it/be less violent. I think I should start with the New Testament. There's still H1N1 going around, so please wash your hands often. I'm going to buy the domain blog this week and keep this blog for archival purposes. The music of the day? Here.
