		<itunes:summary>Click to Play	play_blip_movie_284948();															This is a test to see if blip.tv will encode to .m4v and hopefully embed the video in the rss so it'll show up in the iTunes directory. Hopefully later it can encode to flash automatically and show an inline flash player as well. Right now, I think it'll only encode to one format if uploaded from a phone.
edit:
Well, it didn't convert to .m4v for some reason.  It used quicktime to play the .3gp file instead.  Oh well.  I'll just set flash as the  default.  I'm pretty sure it'll embed the .3gp file for use in the iPod directory.  We'll see.

edit2:
Well, it looks like I have to upload a .m4v version anyway and use podPress to do it.  
This is because I'm using the feed http://phonyholmes.com/wp/?feed=podcast for the iTunes directory and only posts that use podPress go there.
Also, Blip.tv doesn't convert to more than one video format.  It's cool that it'll do flash video for me.  That's one less step I have to worry about.

Formats available:	Third Generation Platform (.3gp), 	Flash Video (.flv)

Thanks to Josh for giving me a heads up on blip.tv.
I'll try to do more moblogging from now on.

		<itunes:summary>I checked out Kevin  Kim's aunt's Japanese dance show last Saturday.

   

Here's a video of the last dance, Soran Bushi followed by a taiko performance.

(Work Song Version) Herring fishing brought thousands of migrant workers to Hokkaido, Japan's northern island, each spring until early this century. Songs accompanied each stage of fishing, such as rowing and net-hauling. "Soran Bushi" was sung while transferring the herring from large drift-nets into small taxi-boats with giant hand-nets. The abundant lyrics are often improvised, erotic or comical - helping to keep workers awake during several days without sleep.

		<itunes:summary>I was lazing around today and while flipping through the TV channels, River Runs Through It was showing.  It was toward the end right when Brad Pitt caught the big one.  That was motivation enough to go fishing.

I switched poles before I went.  I was using the 7' Daiwa I've been always using, but I switched to my Dad's 9-10' pole.

I went to the normal spot at Pajaro Dunes.  At around the 3rd  4th step.
When I got there, right away I caught a good sized perch.  I called Brian and he arrived shortly after.

A bit after he showed up, something really huge got hooked.  It just ran off, practically using up all my line.  I kept fighting it for about 10-15 minutes, all while walking down the beach 50 meters or so.

When it got close, we could tell, it was a huge ass striper bass.  I mean this thing was huge looking in the water.  Brian went out there to it when it was about 10 feet away.  The line suddenly snapped and then Brian goes 'Oh SHIT!' and basically jumped on the fucker.  He ended up cutting up his hand but the fish was landed.

I'm basically speechless catching this big ass fish.  I mean, shit, I don't believe I caught this right off the shore.  

I stopped by at Big 5 on the way home and bought a scale.  It ended up being 15 lbs, 36 inches.  It felt like a lot more than that while carrying it though.  Maybe the scale is off. :p  Actually I think it is since the cheap thing just broke after pulling on it.  The needle is stuck at 5 lbs instead of zero.  So I'll just say it's a 20 lb hah.

		<itunes:summary>I'm going to try to use the Windows Scheduler to be my alarm clock.  These days I set my alarm at 7:00 for beeping and 7:15 for the radio.  Well, the radio reception in my room is pretty horrible.  Most of the AM stations don't come in.  I usually fall back to sleep and wake up around an hour later with the radio still playing.
So maybe if I set my computer as an alarm, I'll get up to shut it off.  Or just let it play and have the music wake me up..

My new alarm


Here's how you do it.

1.  Run Start-Accessories-System Tools-Scheduled Tasks

2.  Find the file of the song you want to play and drag it into the Scheduled Tasks window.




3.  Right-click the newly created schedule and click properties.  Once the properties window pops up, click on the Schedule tab.  Change the time you want to wake up.  Press Ok.



4.  Back to the Scheduled Tasks windows, Right-Click your new schedule again and select 'Run' to try it out.



5.  Your mp3 should now automatically play with your default player.

		<itunes:summary>I went fishing with Brian on Saturday.  It was crazy hot that day.  Maybe around low 90's which is pretty damn hot for Watsonville.
We took off to Pajaro Dunes around 4:30PM or so and by that time, the weather started cooling down.  When we got there, there were still a gang of people chilling out.

High tide was suppose to be late, like around 9:00PM.  So the tide was still fairly low when we started casting.

After just a few casts, I felt a nibble on my line and yanked quickly.  The nibbling kept coming and right away, a huge smile formed on my face.  Words can't explain what I was feeling at that moment. Well, actually a lot of words came to mind:
'Fuck ya!'
'Wooo hoooo!'
'Aw fresh!  I finally caught one!'

I turned to Brian and started screaming passed the loud crashing of the waves.  "Dude!  I got one!" I yelled.  He just laughed and started walking over to make sure.

I reeled in a tiny, little perch.  It was maybe 5 inches long.  I didn't care.  It was the first fish I caught since I started.  All the struggles of going out each time without even a bite was forgotten.  If there were any regrets of moving back up north, at that moment, those thoughts quickly washed away.  I'm back and I just caught a fish in my hometown.  Perch fishing.  The generations of my family, fishing on the shores of Watsonville, has continued on to the next.

I just felt so happy.  It was truly a momentous occasion as if I passed through a Rite of Passage.

Throughout the day, I ended up catching 4 more fish.  They were all too small to bring back except for the last one. 

It was getting late and I was going to cast a few more times before packing up.  I felt a hard tug and could tell it was a lot bigger than the others.  It wasn't very hard to reel in actually but was so happy to find out it was big enough to bring home.  Catching this one was definitely the icing on the cake.  To be able to bring back home a fish is a great feeling.  It's like if the world was coming to an end and there wasn't any electricity or any means to food, all I would need is a pole and some bait to provide food.

Fresh.

		<itunes:summary>Friday night at Cabrillo Lanes.  At the bowling alley that means it's a $7 flat fee for:
   - unlimited games
   - 25 cent hotdogs, nachos,  sodas

Since I gradually became a regular, I was able to score a free stamp on my hand to show I was eligible for the 25 cent goods.
I bowled probably 5 games.  Grubbed 2 hotdogs for 50 cents.  My high game was a 189, but overall, I sucked.  Once I got some beers in me, my body felt a little more relaxed and just tossed the ball without a thought and ended up hitting most of my spares. 




Anyway, most important, it was karaoke night with Chris.
Every Friday he hosts karaoke night.  His song list comprises of mostly country but a fair list of classics and pop.  

It's usually a mix of hicks with old  new school mexicans in the bar.  The younger mexican chicks sing the latest KDON RB hits while the hicks sing their regular country songs.  For some reason, I feel really comfortable in that environment.  It feels like family the way everyone treats each other.

Unfortunately, I didn't sing tonight.  I wasn't able to drink enough to sing some Tony Bennett or John Denver like I did on previous Fridays.  It wasn't in the cards this night.  There was this one chick who wanted me to sing 'Hey Jude' with her but that's just sad.

On a side note, a gang of Mio's were bowling tonight.  Matt was there with Suzanne.  Michelle showed up with her husband.  She is currently in Michigan and running her own business.  She usually comes back to town during July for weddings/funerals and for New Years.  Their mom was hanging out watching.  Even Walt, the local barber, was there giving tips to the youngins.


Back to Karaoke, here's an exclusive uncut clip of the regular song Chris sings every week.  Twice.  I remember when he was first starting out.  He sang that song on the first night when it was just a few barflys listening with no claps at the end.  From then on, he never stopped.  It's known as the regular song that's just expected.  Now, he has a permanent 8x11 flyer perched on the wall announcing 'Friday Karaoke Night with Chris' and draws a decent crowd.

I will provide the lyrics for your convenience.



Artist: Cowboy Troy (f/ Big  Rich)
 Song: I Play Chicken With The Train

Lyrics:


[Instrumental]

[Chorus - Big  Rich]
I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train train, uh hu hu uh hu hu,
You know that I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train train uh hu hu uh hu hu yea,

Hold 'em up,
Here we go,
All the Hicks and Chicks feel my flow,
Big black train coming round the bend,
Go kid go tell you mom and them,
Chugg a lugga [3x],
Who? The big black train commin' through to you boy you bell and bumped you head uh hu,
That's what they said,
People say it's impossible, not probable, too radical,
But I already been on the CMA's,
Hell Tim McGraw said he liked the change,
That he likes the way my Hick-hop sounds and the way the crowd screams when I stomp the ground,
Now, big and black, clickty clack and I make the train jump the track like that,

[Chorus - Big  Rich]
I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train train, uh hu hu uh hu hu,
You know that I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train train uh hu hu uh hu hu yea,

From Miketickasin deep into your ear,
My voice I your choice that you wanted to hear,
So the boys make the noise when the buffalo roams,
Blast into me bones that you might have known.
She be riding into town like a desperado,
With a big belt buckle,
The Cowboy Dorado,
All over the World Wide Web you'll see that low CDP on that MP3,
Speak clearly what I say so you comprehend in the name of Hick-hop radio tuned in,
Roaming like thunder on the scene,
It's kinda hard to describe if you know what I mean.
I never claimed to be the hardest of the hard rock brothers,
But I'm booming at the box,
Skills got you jumping out your socks.
From Texas here I come movin' yo</itunes:summary>

I took some video with my new camera, the Panasonic TZ-1.

		<itunes:summary>Since it's Summer, I felt it's a good time to go fishing.  It doesn't get dark around here until around 9PM so thought it would be nice to do some fishing right after work.  For now, I'm going to try to get used to surf fishing for perch.
I went over to Big 5 with Brian on Tues and picked up a pole  reel.  I have a bunch of poles at home, but decided to get a new one since the reel I had was kind of torn up.  I have all the other gear I could ever need.  I searched through the garage and found all of my dad's old fishing stuff.
The line that came with my reel is kind of light.  I'll probably replace it with a 10 lb line.

I didn't get a bite at all that night.  We were only out there for about 45 minutes and most of that time was just setting up.

		<itunes:summary>I had to go to San Jose today to pay off a ticket.  On the way up, around the old Santa's Village, where the forest starts on highway 17, there was an accident in which I hear later on the radio, someone was air lifted to the hospital.  In the slow mo shot, there was someone in a stretcher.  On the radio it said the person was most likely fatigued and veered into the center divider, then hitting another car driving northbound.
There were a lot of people standing outside of their cars in the traffic jam.  Nobody was going anywhere and it was way hot.  Most of the people were probably heading to the beach.

		<itunes:summary>So I finally bought my own bowling ball a few months back.  I'm starting to get better.  I wanted to film myself to try to analyze my approach and release.

From my post on the GR boards 6/08/2006 11:56PM:

I bowled a couple of games tonight. I did a lot better actually. My first game I bowled a 181 and the second game a 143.

I learned something tonight. I release the ball too early. The lanes I'm bowling on are known to be really dry, so I should release my ball at least a foot passed by lead foot so that my ball will break late.

I got to test out my cheap ass crappy hybrid camera too. It's real bad in low light but you can tell what's going on. The audio is a bit off too which is more of an issue, but at least I can see how my approach and release is now. Forgive my quick editing and ghetto titles.

It was fun.
