Tila Tequila made a sex tape.

I guess this isn't really news, since it's not really surprising or anything.  I'm not even really shocked that it's a lesbian video either.  The only reason that I think this is relevant, is I sort of look up to her in a way and it's because she got popular solely through the fucking Internet.  I bet you'll remember logging into myspace a few years ago and asking yourself, "Who the fuck is this little Asian girl and why is everyone friends with her?"

Lesson learned: I need to a better job at whoring myself out.

I've lost my way.

A little over a year ago, I bought my domain and decided that I would become an Internet superstar.  At the time, I had no real idea what that really meant.  Now I have a better understanding what is that I'm trying to accomplish, but it seems that I've lost sight of that goal.  With my posts becoming more and more infrequent and my readership down [yes, I keep track of these things], I realized that I'm doing something wrong.  Part of the reason is that I've been caught up with work, but more importantly, it's that my life has been so boring lately.  I'm sure that many of you have noticed that all my posts have been about how great I am at Magic the Gathering.

So dear readers, I am going to make a better effort to post more interesting things, probably tomorrow.

My life is boring right now.

I haven't really been blogging as of late, but it's really just because my life has been so dull lately. There really hasn't been much to talk about. Work has been taking up a lot of my time and so has the commute. Today, I spent about two hours driving in my car and that's an accomplishment. When I get home, I'm usually too tired to do anything else. Most of my time is spent reading and trying to learn how to play Magic. My brother is picking me up the cards today, so I really am looking forward to that. Anyway, I'll probably have a major cut in my hours after Christmas so I should enjoy the income while I still can. Hopefully word comes back from Chungdahm sometime soon. I have been really anxious about where I'm going to be placed, but like a lot of other things in my life, it will work out somehow.

I just installed iOS 4.2 on my iPad.

I have been waiting for it the whole month and now it's finally here. Now I can finally multitask and organize all my apps into folders. The fact that I couldn't do this before didn't particularly bother me, but now that i have the option it's just so much better. The best part is that I can check my instant messages while writing blog posts and not have to go through the trouble of saving drafts. Another added bonus of the update is the language support so now I can type in Korean on the iPad keyboard instead of having to use an app for it. 아섬!

I bought a tripod.

I went to the L.A. camera swap meet in Pasadena today and bought myself a tripod. If you don't know about it, it's a monthly event where people come to buy and sell camera goods, from vintage cameras to used dSLRs. I spent less than what I expected to for my tripod, so I would say that the trip was a success. I was tempted to buy a sweet camera bag but I managed to control myself. It's going to take some practice working with the tripod, but it will come together at some point. A more immediate effect of this purchase though, is that I'll probably do a bit more video blogging since it will be easier rigging up my camera. I might record a conversation with my mom or something. That would be hilarious.

I'm testing out blogpress.

I just downloaded this app for my iPad. It let's me post to all the different blog services I'm on. So far, it seems really useful. The interface is a little confusing, but I'll figure it out. So if anything weird shows up on. My blog, just know that I'm trying to figure this all out.

Find me on Flickr!

I guess you don't have to look to hard.  Here's the link: my photostream.

I’ve finally decided to cough up the $25 to pay for the damn pro account.  I know it’s lacking content right now, but I have a ton of photos that I’ll be putting up over the next week.

I've been thinking about making some business cards.

I don't feel like I need business cards or anything.  I'm nowhere near that point.  They'll be really neat to have.  I've even already thought of what they're going to look like.

Man it's going to be great.

Hurrah for me!

I just made my 500th post joseph-gutierrez.com!

It hasn't been fixed yet.

It might would be too complicated to really explain what the issue is in updating my blogspot, but I'm working on it. If you're actually reading any of the shit I say on here, you haven't missed much. The only thing I did worth mentioning is a 12-hour marathon at a PC bang but you can read about that here.

There's an issue.

I'm currently having issues with posting to blogger from the service I use right now, so I might have less posts here than I do anywhere else. I'll try to get this fixed as soon as possible, but for now, just check out the main blog at www.joseph-gutierrez.com.

squaredreviews.com

My friend Stephen Ku, started this website and it's a hilarious idea. We basically take reviews and then review them. Here's my first review and it's on a review of Twitter from 2007.

Can I have your kidney?

• If this is Laura, then yes, you can have my kidney. If you're anyone else, then sorry, it's reserved for Laura.

Fievel Goes West or Land Before Time?

• Land Before Time, hands down. I don't even know why you bothered asking.

Did we say anything about muthafuckin Songdo?

• Nah, we don't even need to say anything. Motha fuckas already know.

Does it bother you that you seem to be getting increasingly random/nonsensical questions? Would you prefer if people were asking real questions about you, or are these just as fun?

• The questions themselves don't really bother me. It was bothersome having my blog cluttered with all these questions. I even deleted some yesterday because I didn't think they were worth posting. I feel bad about it now, because I realized that I can just make a post answering all the questions like this one. So for now on, they'll all be answered in one post just like this. Questions will be answered weekly or bi-weekly depending on how many questions I get.

Ask away.

LOOK WHAT I GOT.

Joseph Gutierrez | Promote Your Page Too

I kept seeing these everywhere and never knew how to make them. I know this is shamelessly promoting myself, but everyone knows that I'm an Internet slut anyway.

Korea's top 10 English blogs.

Sadly, I didn't make it, but I am in the top 18. Maybe I'm not as cool as I thought. Thanks for voting for me if you did.

The Korean Blog List

I got my site listed on the Korean Blog List directory. It looks like I'm well on my way to Internet stardom. Anyway, you should check out some of the other blogs on that list. I've looked at a few and some of them are really solid, though probably not as good as mine.

Follow me on Twitter.

I just made it the other day. I'll pretty much be posting links to my own blog posts and some other small updates, but since I don't have a phone with Internet capabilities it's going to be really limited. It'll help me on my way to my dreams though.

In other news, Ryan gave me this link the other day. It's a directory of me2day (a Korean microblogging platform) and twitter accounts of Korean pop stars. Tiger JK's twitter account is there so is Rain's. Check it out if you're into the whole twitter thing.

Some issues.

I'm currently having issues with posting images, but it should be resolved pretty soon.

A new feature.

Taking the advice of Jean, I'll be having a weekly or bi-weekly photo post on the food I eat titled, "It must be something I ate." These posts will have a picture of a dish/snack/drink, a small blurb, and where I ate it. I think it's a good idea since it's a good way to practice my photography. Also, it will force me to eat at different places, since I can't keep posting pictures of the microwavable hamburgers I get from the mini-stop down the street.

Formspring

I just made a formspring. If you're unfamiliar with it, it's an anonymous question box service. Basically, just ask me a question and I'll answer.
