More insane contradiction: Youtube monetizes & partners my videos but not the channel, yet some anonymous youtube employee removes my“CONTEMPORARY ART SEX CARTOONS PG-13” video a year after it was posted losing my witty description (should save metadata!). More irrational, arbitrary, inconsistent, prejudicedcensorship: top youtuber Shane Dawson uses the word “fuck” in front of minors in his videos. Seth Mcfarlaine uses explicit sex in his “family guy” cartoons getting millions of youtube views.Timmy de la gateau has skeet semen squirts on his t-shirts and everyone talks about explicit sex. Yet the rest of us are censored for the exact same stuff- and less. You’ll notice i blurred & covered up. Time to start posting elsewhere like amazon, ebay,hulu, blip tv, ustream, vimeo, your own website, & affiliates, dailymotion, & probably too soft for xtube, youporn.. Also traditional media & publishing- Taschen, Fantagraphics, Phaidon, the list is endless.. Youtube’s loss, their gain. I love youtube and will cooperate despite the injustice. But why are you letting all those others do it? It’s like HBO & cable monopolizing adult content while all the other censored networks lose ratings & complain. You could just put a over 18 warning on it like so many others -not that my Dubai clip even deserved that, false flagging. Wake up youtube.. before we do.. here’s what they don’t want you to see courtesy vimeo, bliptv, daily motion etc. thanx guys ㋡< (blip is even more fascist & in cahoots with youtube, i recorded mr. blip at vidcon..)

On the way to the park i see gorgeous ladies
working in food joints. Hard to interact unless you eat their sh!t. There’s nowhere indoors you can go without buying stuff you don’t want. Which is why we’re out today since London summer’s so short, blink & you miss it.
My favorite thing about London: friendly familiar faces. Hi ladies! so good to see y’all again! Can’t be constant coincidence..divine intervention

Surprisingly sympathetic, great excercise patrolling the park catwalk.

Yogi played funky wa guitar on my “do yo thing” song a while back. He noodled some amazing licks but left ’cause the chords were too specific for his wild improv style. Now he says Bootsy Collins just did a cover of his song.
Published musician/ writer/ producer Leonardo gives me INC advice, thanx bro. Later y’all!
Try telling that to the neighbors.. theyr’e like “what do you DO over there?!” “Youtubers ‘work’ in their underwear”
My life or lack thereof.. what a waste living in
central London. Anything creative means work
around the clock. That ends today. Balance.
solemn mood dazed too much editing & computing. Endless technical challenges, errands & de-cluttering/ cleaning.. is vidcon an opportunity or same result as last gatherings? 10 timezone jetlag & thousands of dollars for what, didn’t we already do that to no avail? how do you say fück you at a yoütube gathering? “email me”.
Hey guys, thank you for the moral support, you’re the best

Busker guitarist Paul & hottie actress
friend. Hey Paul don’t forget okay!
Hangin out with my I.T. friend in the vlogger friendly pub with no background music on weekdays. We drink a couple pints, i say “i miss drinking sometimes because it’s not as much fun without it!'” He says “i’m so glad you said that.” But no, you shoudn’t rely on that to have fun. The Leica D-lux 4 lens distorts & stretches my face in the corner, & the microphone sounds like sh!t. Not so deluxe inexcusable for a $1000 camera. Get your sh!t together Leica.
Can you believe these overkill overproduced
self important pretentious posers with all
that extraneous equipment in this miniaturization
era? showing off their ‘bigger is better’ phallic
symol ‘hey everyone look at me, i’m so important!’
Better quality with bigger components but they
have that attitude like..”i’m up there with
spielberg, so cool & happening”. No the hell
you’re not. You’re an unsympathetic cog in the
greasy media wheel of prefabricated industrial
cack. Need an extra?☺
He & his sister’s ex Neil sit down a minute laughing & being very nice to my face & then leave abruptly behind my back without a word not to be seen again. Months later i find out through a 3rd party it’s because i jokingly said “dont nick (=steal) anything. No sense of humor. With friends like that who needs enemies. But if you cut off all unreliable unstable flakes there’d be no one left. Need 2 get out more.. they aren’t “all there”. BJ’s the utimate irrational contradiction like everything in my life. One of the nicest & worst people ever. In my videos at important moments when no one else was, even put me in touch with the I.T. guy, so.. take the rough with the smooth.. total mind phuq though. How much SH!T do you take?
BJ crawls out of hibernation unannounced at 1.40 a.m. typically on a non-happening tuesday night after months of unanswered calls. His rare once a year annual pilgrimmage to zone 1. All smiles and a jolly good chap on the surface, but behind the mask, what lies beneath..
Chillaxing w/ busker Paul for over a decade. Another paradox always around the corner. One moment it’s ‘yea i’m gonna be famous get my image out there’, next he’s like ‘dont take my picture’ when he looks his best w/ his spectacular afro. Stood me up at a recording session but buskers are supposed 2b spaced out.
Which is why i love central London. Just step
outside & make new friends. The cosmopolitan vibe is great thanks to east europeans. keep the camera straight woman!
I hook up with a cute blonde who takes my youtube card between her pushup bra cleavage. Cockblockers nearby sense her availability & try to cut me out of my piece of pie by shoving their face in her t!ts. They ask her to join them for a drink elsewhere to knock her out with alcohol & get in her panties. They seem bi & camp, eating both sausage & crumpet. London’s a fast town. Nice try assholes but she’s not going home with you either. Rip out the vaseline boys.
Kassem looks like he’s had a rough year with all that youtubefront page featuring promotion, box4box & collab overexposure. Slow down efendi, stress is premature ageing.
Oh my gosh looks like a winning streak! come n get it MILF! Bulgarian beaut. What am i doing. Good boys keep diaries, bad boys have no time, i must be a friggin angel. Later aholes! It’s about time str8’s get the same public toilet cruising privileges as gays as seen above..
In between work, a rare moment off the computer: wet walk to Covent garden vegetarian/ vegan lunch. Say hi to various fast food bosses & employees on the way. Pleasant atmosphere.

She hates being photographed / videoed in public by strangers. I put the camera away, missing the best footage ever & ask what the flyers are: a Maori massage offer for £70 ($100) for half or one hour, far away, for the next 3 days only. I say she should model & collab w/ me for youtube etc & she says yes if i pay.
Greek american hottie handing out flyers freaks when she sees the Hc9 & wide angle lens. Public photography /video is unpredictable, so you develop an instinct for difficult troublemakers! luckily she wasn’t tooo bad..
Liking people doesn’t guarantee chemistry. Used to go for almost anyone since fussing over appearance is shallow but after a long relationship left me mentally & emotionally drained everyone looks kinda average and not so irresistible anymore. This lady’s pretty, cool & fun but it’s not quite happening 4 some reason. Or maybe it is.
We’ve become friendly yet when i call she’s changed her tone, says she doesn’t mean to be rude but has a boyfriend & “doesn’t want a personal relationship“, just business.. don’t flatter yourself sweetie! “if your’e in it for the money you probably won’t make much”- richard branson.
Acting like I’m actually going to buy burger king junk food to meet a typically warm friendly italian cutie. My acting skills have improved in real life: pretending to do things so as not to stick out too obviously/ suspiciously. Ambiguously, it’s not total deception: you may be convinced to enact the act; they sell healthier foods too.
Wow, them magyars are friggin hot, i’m goin’! this hotel supervisor’s a bit conservative & may/ not be suited to artsy fartsiness. U never know. When she let me video her it felt like a connection, really tantalizing oooh! sit on my f☺ce ♥
Who could take their eyes off beautiful arabs. Not exactly friendly or approachable, kinda like a ferocious rhino & her calf.. Too bad they’re covered up & 2 difficult. Travelling to english parks every spring/summer to cool off from scorching 100 degree Arab gulf heat- must sweat buckets down there & never leave air conditioned buildings & cars..

Who the hell buys this useless sh!t? “giving lots” says £7000 ($13,000) per elephant, of course associating it with a tax deductible charity scam. What a waste & insane mockery of the value of hard earned cash. Let’s just sit around & make elephants, pollute the town & shove them in everyone’s face. What an accomplishment. Of course as a gift you appreciate anything. Having vented i feel a bit sorry for them! aw! theyr’e not so bad.. but what logic defying irrational economics.
They put these sh!tty elephants all over town
without our permission, forced chincy eyesore spamming & harassment! SO ANNOYING
& only suitable for kids.. Sotheby’s is actually

As an artist, shouldn’t hypocritically criticize
but we’re not allowed to spam our sh!t all over, why should you, mundane monopolizers.
This scotch crotch (hey, i’m rhymin’ here) was lovely and brightened my evening, your’e a terrific young lass aye! play with me wee haggis! reminds me of sexy hot scotch whisky soaked ‘dates’ of mind blowing sex! whisky goes well with you know what.. on 2nd thought, stay away from that poison! poon’s problematic enough!
.. this lady was friendly to my face then behaved
really weird behind my back getting her co-worker to attack my youtube channel, claiming i followed her when she actually invades my hood & bumps into me, get outa my face! She’s probably a fine person & knows some nice mutual acquaintances i know in the post production industry but just goes to show how silly & unecessary misunderstandings are. Her expression spells trouble.. who needs it.
i drink 4 pints: 3 Hoegaardens, 1 staropramen. Cheers! We dance the night away to nostalgic tunes like “to the beat of the rhythm of the night” chico de barge, what can u do..
Gal pal Nadear hits the town bank holiday saturday, dropping my valuable books on the dirty floor. Disinfectant. Good company, tiger club doesn’t allow single men.. single women welcome anywhere =sexual inequality, discrimination & sexism!
not much socializing in the noisy club as usual, having to scream your vocal chords off to communicate, though the rooms had different audio levels & upstairs you could converse a bit. Outside you can talk but at 4 a.m. who wants to..we do, buzzed off our head.
The hottest ‘bird’ there, as they call them in england, was this italian hottie. she was quite animated so I expected some chemically induced bad attitude but typical of her culture she was wonderful and charming as ever.
A big group of chinese don’t put up with his sh!t & go up to his face yelling “what!? what!?” many times so a bobby policeman breaks up the fight. lil’ bro sees my camera, freaks out & attacks, to censor journalism that the myriad of security cameras already gotcha! fool! Good night y’all!
..which leads to trouble on another street. Beer goggles make everyone look better so i ask this group “hey guys, mind if i..” to see if the lady’s free 2 talk or at least get a shot for hollywood/ publishing agents but the cx520 camera’s become a negative. The guy threatens trouble, “if u light that camera in my face i’ll do something bad..” the wench becomes a witch.. *caw! caw!* (crows cackling)
It’s been a harsh time.. the only excercise i get is about once or twice a week in the gym when not blacking out in naps from computer overwork and chronic inertia lack of cardiovascular oxygen supply. Look forward to spending more time out actively videoing than inactively editing, but with a 3000 hour archive good luck. The only other excercise i get is chasing girls. Thank you so much ladies, if it were’nt for you i’d be even more outa shape. Quaint London town’s ideal for circulating & socializing, sure beats the bar, nightclub & treadmill. Here i am strecthing for the next wild goosechase.
Spending the week digitizing & copying some of my DAT digital audio tape archive for youtube, other sites, projects, movies. 15 years of phone conversations, original songs, private & public recordings. Without those obsolete antique museum piece dat machines, how would you record anything back when there were no portable cd or solid state recorders. And how else could you play & copy them decades later. Only a matter of time before the tape heads wear out so best hurry and verify there’s no distortion, artifacts etc. Next purchase, check specifications, panasonic doesn’t play 32khz. Hard drives are unreliable & only last 5 years so make several copies.. solid state dirves & 128gb+ usb sticks.
Protools works like a charm, not to jinx it in case i find pops & distortions everywhere. It took many hours of hell. 32khz is not supported and can only be done by analog rca phono cables because analog XLR causes distortion & digital spdif causes sampling rate word clock error noise. Obstacles, troubleshooting & technical support, thank you Paul from audiosupport.co.uk. Glad to be in central London England United Kingdom for this, imagine doing it in russia or greece, shut down from demonstrations, strikes, irregular work hours & limited, overpriced, delayed product availablity.
Friendly cosmopolitan Turkmenistan hottie from supermarket. That countrys’ pretty quirky, may do a Türkmenbaşy travelogue but those autocratic theocracies aren’t exactly vlogger/ photography friendly. Not that that should stop us.. See that..

Eating alot of delicious supposed health food form Holland & barret & wholefoods, gmo free, everything free vegan stuff. Add avocados, spinach & plum tomatoes on the vine. Your guts never felt cleaner. Vermin proof, washeable, security sealable George Foreman grill. Ping Pong lazy sundays do the most delicious all you can eat fresh handmade steamed/ grilled dumpling deal ever. And NO MSG HANGOVER unlike other chinese restaurants. Why is that? £25=$40 Met up with photographer Ritva Raitsalo to do a lil’ deal with some photos she took back in the 90s of me with german techno group Blue Anger. I was studying at school of audio engineering London and secured a keyboard playing/ programming contract from alleged alcoholic transsexual Hans Christa Mattern (hey, don’t be prejudiced, to each their own, nobody’s perfekt, sex was NOT part of the job description & who else would pay hundreds a month to create music a couple times a week? LGBT lobby take note of my tolerant, affable attitude). Wikipedia’s Transsexualism definition: an individual identifies with a physical sex that is different from their biological one. (i always thought it was an operation!). (S)he hired other students for engineering, producing, session instruments. Hans was thenicest person with a heart of gold & the most relaxed attitude ever. Everything was afun, funny joke and you felt that all is fine no matter what. You could travel a month or more & continue your job where you left off.The exhilirating life of a financially secure artist independent of industry constraints is well worth it if you can afford the gamble. Unfortunately the excessive daily Napoleon brandy destroyed his/her liver & killed her according to website http://hans_christa.tripod.com/id2.html Funny memories/ quotes form back then: -I asked drummer Rudi, “what do you call Hans? He or she?” he answered, “I don’t“!
-When i told my friend in greece spiros b. Hans was LGBT, he said “i’m worried you’re gonna get a bad reputation man.” Always worrying what others “think” (if you can call it that). Russel’s answer about reputation regret:” we’re beyond regret..”
-Matt?, SAE classmate sound engineer on auditioning fo the job: “are you going? she’s got money, so i’ll see you there, right?””i think he’s had the chop [surgery]”
-Matt, during rehearsal after Hans yells in a drunken tantrum, “fucking hell i need a lewel! (german accent pronounciation of audio “level”). “Hans, i’ve had just about enough of you”..
Some tape op, sound engineer & me on keyboards recording at Swanyard studios London. Hans was busy getting drunk & wasted in the next room playing pool, joking around & giving people the finger while going “bbbppppffft!”. The studio manager & staff liked Hans as a client but said they’d never seenanything like such crazy “blazé” nonchalant behavior. It was a fun, comforting experience which felt like work & play at the same time, the theme i’ve pursued ever since. Below: Me, Hans & drummer Rudi. photos: Ritva Raitsalo
thursday night 29 april 2010/ friday morning 30 april 2010
MAN vs. MOUSE BATTLE After months of rodent free peace since christmas, heard & saw the first mouse squeak of 2010 tonight. Hoping it was the window hinges squeaking in the wind, saw mickey mousey under the dishwasher gap in the wall, one of infinite construction defects these ahole architect & construction c*nts “built” & FAIL to seal. A legal loophole allows faulty construction & open cracks so mice run over the pipes. Last time pest control poisoned the hell out of them and killed them off. Most city houses are infested for decades, it’s just a matter of how often, yours too hahaha! Better call the estate agents tomorrow and repoison them again & get sticky boards etc. since there’s no humane option. Whats the point in changing adress when all homes have them & your’e never more than 20 feet away from a rodent anyway. If you know of any way to avoid this nightmare please let me know. I’m living the ultimate horror whoror.
May 1 2010 update.
It’s not so bad. I caught the mouse on a glue trap sticky board, unstuck it with baby oil without touching him/her, straight into a cut off plastic water bottle, n let it go free. There don’t seem to be any others on the glue trap sticky board- for now.
INJUSTICE! My recent removed video “UKRANIAN PORN PG-13 soft version TRANSLATION please!”violated no guidelines or terms of service; the breasts were fully covered & blurred out, the fully clothed woman was only talking in russian, and a kiss is but a kiss. See proof of what some bigoted, prejudiced, dishonest youtube employee doesn’t want you to see! Alittle excitement softer than Hugh Hefner’s 1950s Playboy.Youtube allows featured promoted youtubers (shane dawson, kassemg, timmy de la gateau) google adds & revenue on explicit sexual content but not the rest of us. Isn’t thatelitism, oligarchy, nepotism, monopoly? Maybe the blur box was too small & should black out more of her body.
Such arbitrary censorship violates artistic creativity & integrity restricting adults to children’s programming. Every hollywood movie, cable tv show, website & public beach has nudity but we’re not allowed to even show a COVERED BLURRED body. Hence the turning point: PG & R-rated content will have to go on your own private website and Feature Documentary/ DVD/ Published Memoirs, new niche markets.
Translation: “her orange cat sleeps with her and sometimes scratches her. Simferopol’s the capital of Crimea yet people stay one night & leave the next day. In erotic films there are special women (fluffers) who get the men erected again to shoot a new sex scene”.
Youtube enable another video for add revenue then send me a partnership program message saying “Your account does not contain sufficient original new content that represents the uniqueness of our community. We have registered your interest and will continue to monitor your account for potential future acceptance into the program.”
Sincere thanks to JohnOllie & David Spates Laughandpeealittle, the only youtubers with clout helping me out, am reciprocating. Also delaypat & villarte & everyone for their online friendship & support.
-London spring, Green park. Lilly scented tulips bloom. People out n’ about enjoying the end of a busy, reclusive, health destroying, sleep depriving, premature ageing, winter. Before the grass pollen & allergy opticrom eyedrops &/or hay fever tablets.. -Nadine’s birthday dinner along with BJ family & friends. She was “feeling poorly” but we had a nice time anyway.
My friend the I.T guy in soho square said he’d save my seat in the sun, I go get govinda lunch for both of us, when I come back 20 min later he’s given my seat to others saying “I couldn’t stop people sitting there”.. no free benches left & I don’t want to sit on the muddy grass & pigeon shit stained pavement so I tell him “I’m not upset but that was silly, why’d you say you’d save my seat what was the point of one of us saving the other’s seat and the other getting lunch..keep it up I.t guy, this is the drama we need! Some lunatic belt headcase was semi-shouting that “england is sh*t.. and you think we [his ilk] are sh!t..” to passers by. Wonder what triggered his insanity and what meds & sideffects made it worse.. i heard the people on the next bench say: how typically english, nutters in the public square. Guess it’s better than having your free speech & human rights violated like those other mid & far east countries..
I see a hotty who doesn’t look so irresistible when she removes her sunglasses. Looks like that cannes gal.. shoulda videoed her to show ya’ll.. this is a reminder to ALWAYS VIDEO.
I video some old granpa dude flirting/ talking with a hottie. Proof BJ’s wrong about dying your hair when it goes grey. He’s doing better than all of us. There’s often some lady who doesn’t mind joining the salt n peppa club..eat your heart out george Clooney. Plus he ain’t clean cut either. What do we learn from this?
-bookstores are better than cafes or bars for socializing. minus the liver/ brain damage, sleep deprivation, dehydration & hangovers, overcharging theft.. -my neigborhood is full of piss n’ puke. every weekend people vomit alcohol poison & undigested junk food all over the place. is it legal to puke on people’s houses & offices? good job it rains: “God”‘s shower..
At night i’m so reclusive i make miss Havisham look like a social butterfly..
A week ago Google sent me this email. The Rabid dog attack video is adsense revenue enabled but no adds or add options are on it yet- a week later. My account’s “in good standing” but I get paranoid there’ll be some misunderstanding. “Crawled your site?” what the heck? Does that mean my eggplant surprise aubergine photoshops? good job everything’s covered up huh. It says everything adsensed must be for all ages (5 year olds). Then I see KassemG’s recent “go deep” adult pornstar interview about blowjobs and pearl necklaces monetized with adsense adds on it not to mention ray billy johnson’s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NgEmo5gWvs with adds on it too so.. the usual contradiction & paradox.
So I go to Air Studios Mastering where they record the James Bond film orchestra soundtracks! Award winning mastering engineer Ray Staff and his colleague say the previous mastered mix’s dental drill noise is WORD CLOCK ERROR. This happens when it’s 48khz going through 44.1khz equipment.. http://www.airstudiosmastering.com/#/ray-staff/4532639950/id2.html
Ray did all kinds of fancy EQ & processing & edited accurate to 1/48,000th of a second, (48khz) so no frames were lost!
then got rid of the mastering distortion on the phased electric keyboard sounds through this spectrometer. Also trusted me to pay the next day since they were closed and gave a great discount, luckily because i’m blowing a fortune! See & hear the result on mah youtube pageola
The first episodes of this ambitious photographic slideshow include $30,000 worth of 4000 professional 50mb scans by Metro Imaging London(£4= ($8) per scan x 4000 scans=£16,000+ 17.5% vat tax = $30,000) produced & financed over 3 years. There were several setbacks. Many negative scans looked foggy and faded, 3 got lost, some had digital artifacts.. I had to verify everything & go back several times for corrections but Simon & John were most helpful.
Several hundred photos of my father’s diplomatic archive were scanned cheaper at approx. £1+ per scan by 3 Snappy Snaps domestic consumer scanner photo labs: wardour street, covent garden, hertford street. Scott at hertford street was nice at first, but his employee Tom mixed up all my photos to avoid verifcation that none were “lost” even after agreeing to keep all in order and also failed to return 60 slides & prints; his signature on the receipt proves it. Luckily I sensed a less professional vibe there and gave them old flea market stuff, not trusting them with family archives. Unsurprisingly Tom doesn’t work there anymore but just another lesson to get everything & everyone on photo/ video & receipt as proof. And DO NOT TRUST SNAPPY SNAPS HERTFORD STREET.
As curator, it’s the only way to save old vintage photos from further deterioration. The cost was so great because in 2007 London there was no other option, even Snappy Snapps wouldn’t do it cheaper until 2009. Just as hollywood blows their horn bragging about how much films cost as a promotions & marketting strategy (pubic-licity stunt) so too would this be a conversation piece increasing value Nobuyoshi Araki style.
The Million Photo soundtrackis a variety of personally createdchillout lounge relaxation atmospheric, easy listening, new age film scores. Mostltydrumless, instrumental, &vocal / phone call samples including the all time classic “Up the Creek” acapellas & dance groove recorded in high school and college. It features my adoptive mom, the ambassador’s wife, verbally abusing me braying that i’ve accomplished nothing, am going nowhere and am worthless because of average grades, ‘3rd rate’ college admissions &unpaid recording studio internships. Little did she know, she and others of her ilk would be unwitting co-stars & muses in the most ambitious multimedia art projects of their kind.
Production notes & Info: -Audio compression rates Bunt recommends a ratio no more than 3, compared to the final cut editor who told me to squash it to 10 in soundtrack pro. Gain 5, lim-1 is ok. Threshold is what db it starts. -1 mono signal copied to the other channel & panned remains monophonic and cancellation never completely occurs, just sucks out the bottom end. (that’s what she said).
-No explanation on why sountrack pro software causes distortion & crackle.
-Final cut pro only goes +12 db because it’s semi professional limits.
-The 2 inch rackmount compressor used by bunk junk genius studios years ago is only ideal for constant loud dance music or rock but not other music with dynamics high n lows.
-If the levels are over zero in the red but sound okay than its okay!
–Protools adds noise n occasional clicking pops n artifacts if you don’t use word clock special sync.
Mistakes made & conclusions:
-Put usb stick copies of audio files in correct coat, check physically before leaving.
–Bring 8 pin firewire cables for solid state drive.
-If locked to picture you cannot do audio editing cuts due to frame inaccuracy & timing. Although I line up & stack 2 recordings on top of each other in final cut and manually drag them over each other till they are in sync & proceed to edit from that although they can lag after a few seconds and have to be re aligned as I did with my olypus LS10 audio files..
-Next ‘challenge’ is the chronological order of 100s of 1000s of photos as camera clock time n dates are often incorrect inaccurtate or don’t match.. Spent many days putting the first 4000 in order in iphoto, should’ve done it before scanning. And then iphoto corrupted & crashed, I.T guy rebuilt most the library with 3rd party software, but the first 4000 remained disordered. Luckily i had ‘drag n dropped’ them from the chronological yet corrupt crashing iphoto library into fcp, but they still need more organizing for animation continuity. -take more video & leica photo w/ micro & minitripods especially when granted permission
My I.T. colleague went to florida today with 7 friends n family and I should join them but better go fast coz theyre back in a week although there may be another trip but not all of them. spring break man!
Update: typically endless obstacles. Found out today march 12 2010 that the mastered recording has a resonant ringing noise on it absent on the original. contacted Bunt as follows:
dear Bunt, there’s a high pitched resonance ringing sound on the mastered recording which is absent on the original. It starts from the beginning synth pad and onto several other parts with synth sounds. Please remove it. I heard it when I was there and should have asked. May be travelling and will email or call you next week. thank you for your time, Sincerely george godley.
Saturday 13 march 2010: some of his reply:
I do not think there is any “resonance or “ringing” that was not already present on the original.
I added a little eq at upper mid and very high frequencies to bring some clarity to what was, in my opinion, a rather flat and dull sounding track. Inevitably this will enhance the higher frequencies in the audio, advantageously, to my ears.
However If you would prefer the mastered version to be flat (by that I mean without any eq) I will do another version with just compression and limiting. Although all processing will to some degree colour the sound of any audio track, it will be as close to the original as is possible.
This is best achieved by using a file exchange program such as USendIt or Send Space to email me the file.
I replied “message received, thank you, will get back to you next week, sincerely.. My thoughts: The flat mix sounds much better because there is no loud sustained cricket chirping noises ruining it. The master is unlistenable, sounds like a supersonic dog whistle and a million crickets chirping in unison, a dentist’s drill. Can’t believe he can’t EQ without adding this horrible noise. Excessive noise & flat are the only 2 options he offers. He should be able to EQ mildly.. I’ll post both versions online for comparison.
other disapointments:
-one vocal is way too loud, like screaming loud, 20db louder than the other vocal sample. very unpleasant, uncomfortable, unlistenable. Even cheap finalizing software brings all levels nice and even.
-he couldnt cut the audio up without losing frames, giving 2 choices: or limited level manipulation where you can’t bring things up or down, or losing the sync to picture. Even cheap final cut software lines up your cuts evenly on top of each other so you don’t lose a frame. Clearly sadie software isn’ t up to the job or he didnt know to stack one waveform on top of the other to synchronise them even though i told him how. Actually they can stray: even in final cut, it starts accurate and after a few seconds it starts lagging and therefore maybe its not doable, which it should be at this level of professional service.

So you wonder where your life went, why you’ve accomplished nothing but unrewarded hard work & suffering. Mine went to watching the macintosh beachball delay everything while you sit & wait on your “challenging” (a more positive word for “problematic“) mac computer. PC is worse- we’re in the information stone age. Final cut “pro”my ass, it doesn’t even reconnect files to backup drives when the SH!T LACIEs die. Same goes for timewaster DIGIDESIGN PROTOOLS LE 7. I googled protools help and got Audio Support, very nice and helpful tutorial visits for about £160 plus tip ($300) for 3 or 4 hours, (NEVER TIP till next time to make sure it WORKS PROPERLY). Playing external synths makes a horrible CLICKING noise. Just called Paul who had helpful suggestions. Till the problems are solved, the term “sh!t proFools” remains.
There’s no way to build a financially rewarding audienceonYOUTUBEunless they feature you repeatedly on the front page or bigger channels constantly collab or mention you. That’s the only way to financial “success”if you can call it that, considering most people don’t like youtube chartoppers’ BANAL DRIVELnonevents. Hard work is not rewarded, youtube doesn’t answer emails, while these guys do less & get more (audience, money) just cause youtube decided they’ll be featured & promoted & the rest won’t. Not the best incentive for hard work and accomplishment, unless your content offers more & is better done, you may or may not win the gamble. Sh!t better be tight.. it’s an uphill struggle. Even Nalts featuring JessyK on his front page for a few days last christmas 2009, doing silly Times Square pranks, only brought her a few hundred subs & her February daily viewcount stayed lower than mine according totubemogulstats. (under 1000).
Alex Day nerdyman at some London pub concert Dec 2009. He told me to send him a message so i did: 1.last christmas to thank him for the footage, 2.the tranny inmendham comment reply & 3.about this photo but typically, no reply. My page is too conservative compared to his sexually explicit “Best Porn Puns”.
Audience numbers seem worth more than content, yet TV stations value unseen exclusive footage more than overexposed “burned” stuff. Film festivals won’t even accept your indie movie unless it’s a unseen premiere. Rare one of a kind memorabillia collectables are worth more.
Whats the point ofUNREWARDED HARD WORK?
It’s all political ASSKISSING on youtube Olga style or your’e leftbehind (pardon the pun). Even offering payment as reciprocity they don’t help you unless you already have a large audience to “share” (take). It’s all about audience theft, you don’t stand a chance to compete against the overfeatured bigger channels. How do you get on their front page promotional box featuring other channels? Makemebad35, who desribes his content as crude and vulgar, told me at the 789 gathering to email him but he doesn’t want to “sell out” yet his website is full of advertising space for sale. He had a free slot on his “other youtubers” box so I left a channel comment saying ” HEY DAMIAN HOW CAN I GET ON THE “OTHER YOUTUBERS” LIST!” He removed it, or it was off the page within minutes. I emailed him at his “business email” saying “i can pay” but no answer. Maybe its best that way. Why pay when others don’t & are trying to get what i already got: £OOT. Best enjoy it instead of gambling it away. Pack your bag a$$holes.. It’s SPRING BREAK..
Apologies for the tone of this article. Just a lil’ frustrated, let’s be honest. It’s a rough gig.
update saturday 6march 2010: okay i was having a bad day yesterday. All’s better now. I love final cut & protools. But still some unresolved stuff. And nerimon’s not answering about his photo. I saw he uploaded something and musta seen my p.m. Comeon man help a brotha out..
update: IMPORTANT YOUTUBE STATISTIC FACTS people in makemebad35’s other channel boxhave 200,000 subs but only 7,000 daily views!
-nerimon featured freeasabee in his 250,000 view (thanx to charlie) music video & she barely got 200 new subs from it! you’d think he’d put her in his box for a bit.

NEW YEARS EVE TIGER TIGER CLUB RIPOFF £60 (=$100 USD) 2 tickets
(TRAVEL WARNING until further notice) Tiger Tiger cheated me (like tiger woods!) out of another new years eve. Nice club but FRAUD SCAM: the ticket says no entry after 11pm (everyone is partying outside counting down the new year so who wants to be locked up before midnight?) and the guy who gave me the tickets earlier says you can come in up to 1am. On new years eve they turn everyone away after 12 saying “you’ll get a refund” and they don’t refund your money. I report this because $100 here and there =$1000.. turn away enough people they swindle tens of 1000s.. our loss, their theft. and I missed other friends’ bar, restaurant & pub parties on the way to be there by the deceptive deadline. http://www.ripoffreport.com says:
YOU MUST NOT call them threatening to file a report if they do not comply with your demands, as this may be construed as blackmail! You must first file a Ripoff Report, then fax them a copy, offering them a chance to rectify the wrong that they did to you. Explain that then, and only then, you will UPDATE your Ripoff Report in a positive way, if deserved. TIGER CLUB NEW YEARS EVE THEFT quicktime save for web computer – Computer
UPDATE jan 2018: Nothing against trangenders, but is any deception ethical & legal? Isn’t it dishonest to deceive others, especially sexual partners, into thinking you were born the gender you weren’t? A gender reassigned surgical sex organ will never be the real thing, and a mind won’t always think like the opposite sex, not to mention d.n.a, chromosomes & other obvious characteristcs..
original thoughts: “And the winner is.. nice try pal. Divine intervention sets off fraud preventionalarm bells n red flags. Songs come to mind: “I may not be a lady” “first be a woman“.. hey trannies any deception tips? at least he’s honest..”
My Iphoto stopped working & keeps beachballing or crashing. According to applecare senior advisor, right click iphoto icon on external drive, open package contents, right click on originals (and modified later), copy, right click on external drive icon, paste. 200,000+ items will be copied over 14 hours. Then do the same to modifieds. Then create new library, drag n drop the new copied fotos into new library. “photoalbums should be there but may not be”..
This is why I don’t erase memory cards..some of which are corrupt n need data recovery..
As soon as I use the computer for other things like streaming youtube video the process slows down and it says “20GB og 872 GB- about 15 hours” instead of 14 hours like before so I better leave the computer alone and clean up my bachelor pad. Conclusion: TIME MACHINE BACKUP!

Sent this photographic masterpiece to Nalts’ ugly shirt video collab. Uh..yea.The cigar’s for effect from my neighbor Leonardo in the cigar bar. Never smoked since my father’s throat cancer shock age 10.. I didn’t inhale..nor did i have sexual relations with that (wo)man. Recently ben seeing alot of Rosie Palm though and her 5 sisters..
I visited my Uncle Fred at my old family home where i lost most childhood vacations to forced child labor. He’s elderly & not so well so he asked me to leave after 2 or 3 days.. probably revenge for dad doing the same to him when it was our house.. a diplomatic “so, when are you..uh..?” type hint.. according to a reliable source dad (& most people) don’t want guests or relatives in their face violating their space too long.. Knowing this would be my only chance, since the house is always off limits, I salvaged hundreds of deteriorating old photos to be scanned but when i showed him my father’s foreign service career albums which he didn’t even know were there, he said “i can’t let you have them, this is history, and will get written up..” in case they get lost. Aunt Mary said “he’s your father, but the problem is he’s also his brother”. He hid them like I advised so I hope he remembers where they are or thats probably the end of them.. I went to a sleazy Oneonta motel to give him & aunt Mary some space and took 2 weeks to go through & select photos, slides etc. It cost me about $8 per 50mb scan for my own archive at Metro London (special deal for thousands).. so this time i shopped around and found some bargains at £1 per scan (about $2) at various London Snappy Snaps- less professional but good enough for black & white. The gal who cooked for him was a sweet college student. But what a sickening unhealthy artherosclerosis inducing bitches’ brew diet she concocted: mayonaise white bread sandwiches and buttered sugar cookies. Uncle Fred also told me uncle George &/or some other relatives from previous generations were professional studio photographers/ film makers. This made me feel less of an outcast and was most encouraging. Lots of love to you uncle Freddie & Aunt Mary, be well..
Bob & Geo in some bar with a couple conservative prim & proper prudes/ part time exotic dancers. Fantastic rustic atmosphere. Delicious frosted chilled Miller/ Coors lite beer pitchers you can’t get in Europe..
Visiting my friend Bob Sharp & model at his Oneonta New York Art Gallery. Rewards of a struggling artist.. I’ve known Bob & his family many years so he’s in some of my personal videos & Players Guide docufeature as is his mom, one of the nicest ladies.
So I end up in some sleazy motel with yellow brown pillow stains hidden under the pillow cases. How much gunk would luminol expose.. hung t-shirts to dry not to shrink them so they stayed wet & the place stank of damp my entire stay..went through thousands of photos, slides etc. there and in the rented Chrysler Sebring convertible (no mustang available this time) because at the house there’d be too much pressure and distractions since they were on edge..
What a wild funny episode! Birthday celebration bash with my friend BJ in MYKONOS, GREECE, the top greek island for celebrities, tourists, and gays. Not the best place for str8s. And september’s the end of the season, less people but more peace of mind in contrast with august which is overcrowded chaos.
The brunette was very nice but the ‘blonde’ went nuts against my friend BJ in the bars the days after: warning any lady near him to “stay away from this guy” out of spite for not staying with her..
Some romanian dude upstaged everyone but was cockblocked by the language barrier.
Nothing quite like meeting me in the *FLASH* on a nudist beach
He’s at it again.. images recorded for

Try telling that to the neighbors.. theyr’e like “what do you DO over there?!” “Youtubers ‘work’ in their underwear”
solemn mood dazed too much editing & computing. Endless technical challenges, errands & de-cluttering/ cleaning.. is vidcon an opportunity or same result as last gatherings? 10 timezone jetlag & thousands of dollars for what, didn’t we already do that to no avail? how do you say fück you at a yoütube gathering? “email me”.
Hey guys, thank you for the moral support, you’re the best
Hangin out with my 
He & his sister’s ex Neil sit down a minute laughing & being very nice to my face & then leave abruptly behind my back without a word not to be seen again. Months later i find out through a 3rd party it’s because i jokingly said “dont nick (=steal) anything. No sense of humor. With friends like that who needs enemies. But if you cut off all unreliable unstable flakes there’d be no one left. Need 2 get out more.. they aren’t “all there”. BJ’s the utimate irrational contradiction like everything in my life. One of the nicest & worst people ever. In my videos at important moments when no one else was, even put me in touch with the I.T. guy, so.. take the rough with the smooth.. total mind phuq though. How much 
BJ crawls out of hibernation unannounced at 1.40 a.m. typically on a non-happening tuesday night after months of unanswered calls. His rare once a year annual pilgrimmage to zone 1. All smiles and a jolly good chap on the surface, but behind the mask, what lies beneath..
In between work, a rare moment off the computer: wet walk to Covent garden vegetarian/ vegan lunch. Say hi to various fast food bosses & employees on the way. Pleasant atmosphere.
She hates being photographed / videoed in public by strangers. I put the camera away, missing the best footage ever & ask what the flyers are: a Maori massage offer for £70 ($100) for half or one hour, far away, for the next 3 days only. I say she should model & collab w/ me for youtube etc & she says yes if i pay.

Hyde park bank holiday sunday meeting alota ladies, including this sultry slovak, but i’m bird watching..
Who the hell buys this useless sh!t? “giving lots” says £7000 ($13,000) per elephant, of course associating it with a tax deductible charity scam. What a waste & insane mockery of the value of hard earned cash. Let’s just sit around & make elephants, pollute the town & shove them in everyone’s face. What an accomplishment. Of course as a gift you appreciate anything. Having vented i feel a bit sorry for them! aw! theyr’e not so bad.. but what logic defying irrational economics.
This scotch crotch (hey, i’m rhymin’ here) was lovely and brightened my evening, your’e a terrific young lass aye! play with me wee haggis! reminds me of sexy hot scotch whisky soaked ‘dates’ of mind blowing sex! whisky goes well with you know what.. on 2nd thought, stay away from that poison! poon’s problematic enough!
.. this lady was friendly to my face then behaved
It’s been a harsh time.. the only excercise i get is about once or twice a week in the gym when not blacking out in naps from computer overwork and chronic inertia lack of cardiovascular oxygen supply. Look forward to spending more time out actively videoing than inactively editing, but with a 3000 hour archive good luck. The only other excercise i get is chasing girls. Thank you so much ladies, if it were’nt for you i’d be even more outa shape. Quaint London town’s ideal for circulating & socializing, sure beats the bar, nightclub & treadmill. Here i am strecthing for the next wild goosechase.
Spending the week digitizing & copying some of my DAT digital audio tape archive for youtube, other sites, projects, movies. 15 years of phone conversations, original songs, private & public recordings. Without those obsolete antique museum piece dat machines, how would you record anything back when there were no portable cd or solid state recorders. And how else could you play & copy them decades later. Only a matter of time before the tape heads wear out so best hurry and verify there’s no distortion, artifacts etc. Next purchase, check specifications, panasonic doesn’t play 32khz. Hard drives are unreliable & only last 5 years so make several copies.. solid state dirves & 128gb+ usb sticks.
