Advice to know-nothings:

You know you're getting old when people tell you how good you look.

When you turn thirty and you've got a good income and you're running late for the bus, don't bother running after it, take a cab/taxi to get to it!

You should begin considering yourself old when your birth certificate was a scroll.

What's something that you're likely to hear if you hear two mother kangaroo's talking (a marsupial (animal) native to Australia)? "Gee, I hope it doesn't rain today, I hate it when the kids play inside!"

Plagerism is really bad. Don't do it.

To Search For

Hello again. I have just arrived from school and am wishing to create a blog. You see, at time of writing, the space where the trailer for the 'The Flood' should be, there is simply a 'watch this space'. Thus, for the subject: computers, I asked my teacher how to put the trailor but I was unable to find the blog because I, well, forgot it. This raises an important point- unless you have a link to this website or it is saved to Favorites, how do you get into my blog with minimal effort-and minimal effort is very important. If you can't, the soloution is simple. Save it to Favorites. I'm serious. Save it to Favorites. Do it. Now.




Once you have done that, continue reading my blog.
And, as an extra precaution or to acess this blog from another computer or to give simple instructions to someone else for getting into my very own blog, commit the following phrase to memory: 'welcome says nathan' (remember this has no captals or punctuation in case that makes a difference). Then simply type 'welcome says nathan' into the blogger search engine with quotation marks (remember that, that's important) and voila! you have my blog. If you ever find more than one in the results, simply get into the green one and leave me a comment telling me so. Now, shut your eyes and repeat after me: 'welcome says nathan' outloud. Now you can open your eyes. Just kidding, you don't really have to shut your eyes, just say, outloud: 'welcome says nathan'. Good, now there's no excuse not to visit this fantastic blog regularly.

welcome says nathan

Remember that.

It's to search for.

THE FLOOD

For a school project, my teacher ordered (sorry, wanted) us to make a home video about Noah's Ark (from the Bible). So me and a bunch of mates got together to make a really good movie. When we were struggling to come up with ideas of how to do it, one boy (not me unfortunately) suggested we make it out of Lego. So, being the ambitous professional fluke-artists like we are, pulled it off succesfully and it looks really good. And, as our parents (and teachers) were so very proud of their cute little children who made a fantastic movie that they naturally got another A+ for, they showed a heck of a lot of people - both campuses of our school and numerous friends and family.

Thus, I am proud of this movie. So I am giving you the chance to own your own copy. For just $5 (and postage) I'll send it off to you for you to see. It is exceptionally good and considering you're rich in our teenagers' eyes, it won't be that much to you. The $5 shall not go to me, believe it or not, but to our next movie we make (Revelations). However, (but wait, there's more :) ) we are doing a special edition with the few mistakes taken out, Special interviews with the cast and crew, director's commentary, the trailer, plus extras (maybe) cost $2 more. It's not out yet, but I'll keep you informed and give you more details about it later on. (By the way, the standard one only has the trailer on it).
Editor's Note: Kareen, yours will be there soon.

The Trailer is at the Post called 'Found it' which is just above.



The cover of the standard edition.

If anyone has any queries, wants to buy the standard version or preorder (preorder's receive top priority and will probably arrive sooner), please e-mail me at: agfilms@hotmail.com

Cookie Monster

You Are Cookie Monster

Misunderstood as a primal monster, you're a true hedonist with a huge sweet tooth.

You are usually feeling: Hungry. Cookies are preferred, but you'll eat anything if cookies aren't around.

You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speaking

How you life your life: In the moment. "Me want COOKIE!"
Maybe not quite me except for the eating part hopefully, but there is a point for me putting this on my blog. Yes, Shock, Horror, I am about to do a serious blog.
I was reading the Herald Sun (an Australian newspaper) and it had an article headed: 'Cookie monster on a health kick'. Intrigued, I read on. It appears that the cookie monster is on a diet! As part of the fight against childhood obesity greatens, the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street is being used to help. Children are now learning that cookies are 'sometimes food' and food like fruit are 'always food' (this is apparently more effective than telling them not to eat cookies altogether.)
So, understandably, the Herald Sun thought this was interesting enough to put in the newspaper. And I completely agree. But I find it disgraceful that the newspaper forgot to mention altogether that fair dinkum aussies actually don't say 'cookies' instead of biscuits except for little children who don't know any better (probably at least partly due to the Cookie monster). (This excludes chocalate chip cookies). (I apologise to any fan of/ maker of/viewer of Sesame Street who may be offended and anyone who considers themselves fair dinkum aussies who still say cookies who may also be offended). Lastly, this of course excludes the 'virtual cookies' produced from the internet which are not in fact translated into biscuits.

Two cool things

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!
Whew!


You Are Likely an Only Child

At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated.
At work and school, you do best when you're organizing.
When you love someone, you tend to worry about them.

In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic.
Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management.
You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books.
Cool! (I am an only child)

Something longer than the First

Here I am folks, ready to do a post longer than 4 words! I don't know what I'm going to write yet, but I will. Hold on... Must eat...

I'm Back and I've been doing some thinking of what I'm going to do, so here goes nothing...

Another useless thing (irrelevent to all the others)

You Will Die at Age 85

Congratulations! You take good care of yourself.
You're poised to live a long, healthy life.

Got Ya!

Heh heh, get it? Here goes nothing? I know, I know, I'm a comic genius. Stay tuned, because one day, I might just shock the world and do a proper Blog! Wouldn't that be something?
