colombia – day 2

hanging out at ana’s work (anthropologic) cuz she got called in to work on an important presentation due monday.

trying my hardest to not be a pest… so i’m just making videos and posting pics to socnets…

i think a wise man once said something like “man only needs two things in life: free wifi and an electrical outlet”… i think it was plato or something…

anyway, enjoy

back in colombia!

not sure how i’ll document all the fun/adventure… i think i’ll post to twitter/facebook/youtube and then put an overall post when i’m back in the states…

colombia – i am in you

the travel almost went off without a hitch… if it wasn’t for my connecting flight in miami cutting it too close to my previous flight. i got off my flight from dallas and immediately took this photo:

aa913

i took that pic at 9:11pm… yea… apparently they were paging my name in the airport so i ran to the gate, which was right across the walkway and asked if it was too late for me to get in. i get a look like “really?” and they ask if i was “joseph hernandez”

fun. – we are young

i really like this song. i like how chevrolet used it in the ads… with slow mo video — it just worked. you can find it on their “some nights” album

acoustic

i’m a huge fan of studio acoustic versions

official video

this kind of music is starting to grow on me… i’m still trying to find other similar stuff… i dunno if it relates but some songs off the drive soundtrack are pretty good too.

college – a real hero (feat. electric youth)

kavinsky – nightcall

fun.” is an american indie pop band based in new york city.

how i’d fix fifa12

the fifa video game franchise is one of the most popular worldwide.

when ’12 came out, there were a few major things that were missing from the previous year’s release.

the most notable to me was the elimination of offline profiles. I forget exactly what they were called in ’11 but it allowed you to play friends locally and it’ll TRACK YOUR STATS.

this is especially cool if you’re a stats nerd like me. from wins to goals scored to red cards, it was all there…

woulda been nice to keep that info in-game… that NEEDS to come back. I’m guessing it was removed to make room for the online head to head feature. it’s cool and all… I mean I really like how you can get relegated or promoted like an actual team, but you have to play online.

this leads me to my next peeve…

people who play games with their 56k modem need to a) not be allowed to play online and b) dragged into the street and curb stomped

I’ve played quite a number of games online and the most annoying thing that happens is LAG. the worst part is that you can’t quit. well I guess you can, but you’ll get dinged for a disconnect.

I guess those are the things that bother me with the game… love the overall gameplay, graphics, and sound (especially playing in a mexican stadium… holy drums and horns)

oh and maybe they should get rid of the viagra blue and old-school brown balls… they’re so tough to see!
