Dragonball Z Special 2008 – Yo! The Return of Son Goku and Friends!!

it’s been a long 12 years since ive seen some new db..

*PLOT*

Two years after the defeat of Majin Buu in the main Dragon Ball Z series, Mr. Satan finally finishes construction on his brand new hotel. Feeling guilty that the hotel is in honor of what the majority of Earth believes to be his defeat of Majin Buu, he invites all of the Z Fighters and their families to a banquet. Shortly after dinner begins two Saiyan Spaceships land just outside of town, and a mysterious Saiyan confronts the party at the hotel. He is revealed to be Vegeta’s brother, Tarble, who had been too deemed to weak to fight in the past and thus had been sent to a distant star before the destruction of Planet Vegeta. He asks his brother for help in dealing with Abo and Cado, soldiers who are remnants of Frieza’s army, who are causing havoc on his world.

This special is set after the Majin Buu Series, it totally makes up for the crappy GT series…i think this is a special for the 40th anniversary of shonen jump, but i could be wrong…regardless, i’m happy..it couldnt have struck me at a better time

i grew up on this and ill never grow out of it!!

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20… “SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Intrigued by Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out…”

this movie is great, i mean really really well done..great job danny

although i think the story was average, execution of cinematography and production was terrific

the movie touches alot of emotions in life, i like seeing characters develop and grow but i dont like seeing movies end by them “finally finding each other”

though the bollywood dancing at the end did catch me by suprise (how could i let that happen?)

and i truly appreciate the exposure of real-life indian culture

because they do do those things to the kids

what things?

just go and see it for yourself (;

CS4 and LR2

lovin’ it

here are a few photos i re-tweeked through the new software

although i couldve done these with cs3 and lr1

the workflow is much faster and smoother with the upgrade

is it worth it?

well shit..from cs3, no..cs2..yes

i hear cs5 will be 64-bit for mac os x

that will be worth it

Writing Professor

I’ve found reason

So I just registered for spring courses…nothing special

still going to foundations, still got writing analysis and humanities & science..no more lame ass visual art history though!! thats being replaced with life drawing..aka drawing naked people (i hope)

not in some perverted, sleezy way because you know they just have random ass people up for the oppurtunity of getting drawn naked call and set up dates

but that is, the act of drawing people naked, the epitamy of being at an art school

its the initial thought we all get when we think of art school that never changes

unlike the trendy students that claim they arent trendy but just “bringing it back”

you can tell i got problemz with the social scene here

i got no friendz

so here is my goal, besides getting a bfa degree..i want to walk out marketable

im sure we all do

but as an artist, any type of artist..you GOT to be marketable

or youre bound to fail

so im going to “minor” in design

yup

and while im at it..im aiming for my MFA too

Mobbin in Lines!

my first book (;

hahahaha sike!!! this was an assignment for my foundations class over viewing the strategy of lines, mapping, collecting, and producing a “container of information”..its an actual book with actual stuff to look at and read inside so i was only lying about it being published..for now

i dare you to look inside..i double dog dare you

pretty good huh?

a broke artist

I just finished my intro to digital imaging class last week

which took up my tuesdays, my wonderful tuesdays

but now i have them back!

its now thursday, my other day off from being an art student..a day off from being a critical, self absorbed, non-matching, unappreciative, little jerk

god i hate being a freshmen all over again..but there is nothing like being an art student

sometimes i may be a little harsh on myself and others around me, like why the fuck am i here? and sometimes ill ask myself what the fuck are you doing here?

so lets try to answer that right now

im at an art school to pursue art, something i love..thats what were suppose to do in life..but another thing were supposed to do in life is make money..dont bullshit yourself, IT IS WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO DO!

pursue art + making money = as likely as making it to the nba

its not impossible, but its not likely either

okay, so im probably being a little harsh on myself right now, but i have to be..because this damn school hasnt proved to be worth it yet and the only thing that is keeping afloat is that whisper in my head

“..its worth it..its worth it..“

but that whisper, is the same whisper that tells me i can make it, you know that whisper..its called faith

what scares me the most is, im not the “starving artist” yet, this is only a transition. a 4 to 6 year transition into becoming a full-fledged starving artist and this transition into the real world is going to be the actual cause of my inevitable starvation. loans, loans, loans..

would it have been better to just not go to school and make art in my bedroom?

nah, as much as id like to convince myself about how i am “wayyyy passed” what is being taught to me, i cant..ive learned alot of things, conceptual thinking, newer ways of working, a fresh thought process into art making..but is that worth $26k a year?

can that whisper in my head hold me up after college is done? or even til spring registration?

god i certainly hope so

More In Class Segments

finally with sound

fast foward to 1:10 hahaha

I still can’t believe it

“What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.”

hopefully by Tuesday, ill be able to put down all of what I experienced as history in the making

im only 19, and i still never thought i would have seen that day!!!

“And although it seems heaven-sent,

we been ready, to see a black president”

YES

THE PHYSICS!!

So my phone died yesterday, after a year of loyalty..my samsung blast gave out

here’s the bulletin i posted on myspace

“it has to be a cool phone
and by cool i mean it has to function
and by function i mean it has to match with my coach bag (kidding)

im looking for anything!!! hit me up asap

ill trade you for a photoshoot (; or cash”

Thig from The Physics (check out the first set of photos i did for them) hit me up offering his blackberry curve, now im no tech-wiz (contrary to popular belief) so im still struggling to learn how to use this thing, but here is the short shoot i traded them for the phone

check out the physics music at www.myspace.com/realphysics

had sushi today with keo, ian, and jared…nothing new about that

kept it under the $10 mark

cuz im a starving artist (;

im just broke, not starving

YES!

Okay, so im finally going to commit myself to this! my personal blog..so personal that i’m sharing it via world wide web :S

i’m just documenting my commute, art, thoughts, struggles, accomplishments, ups, downs, life and times through a lens..a canon L lens (;

i’m also going to try to be 100% honest with myself and you all..starting here, step one:

My name is Canh Nguyen, not Canh Solo…I’ve always had mixed feelings about my last name, i mean really..half of the vietnamese community has the same last name…or tran..and i wont tell you how to REALLY pronounce it, because even i cant (nuwin..?)

I jacked canh solo, yes..from han solo..the epic hero of star wars (surprising how many people dont know who he is)

but my friend khelil crisis (thats already a dope name, dont waste it!!!) aka khingz (okay, so you want another dope name) aka blacc han solo (greedy arent you?) had the name before me, just putting that out there..are you happy now? i bet he wont be until i find a new name..canh crisis?

im 19, and i dont feel that much different from 17, just waiting for 21..i dont know why though? i mean i dont drink (i dont drink enough) to be super excited about it..

lets see what ive done on my big 18 list

1) go to a strip club (not)

2) smoke (not)

3) buy lotto (not)

…and i dont remember what other wack ass privelage came with the big 18..some would say i havent lived enough..tin’s said that to me actually, after she told me she hated me..and now look at us! were like..the best chums

but im not a square (i swear to you!)

im the coolest 19 year old vietnamese from seattle, washington that was born on march 1st, 1989 that has an older brother, a younger sister, and the hardest working dad in the world

i go to art school..art college is what i like to call it, because it makes it seem like its harder than it is

BUT IT IS HARDER THAN YOU THINK! THAN I THINK! THAN WE ALL THINK!

damnit!

so even if you LOVE what you do, there are still struggles..inner struggles, questions, no answers, and the search for eternal balance..nirvana, yip yap..the mayo between the bread..duh

doesnt mean its going to be easy, nope..i threw myself out there by declaring my career straight out of high school with the preconceived notions (just as you thought) of that which has to do with art making (it being easy breezy beautiful cover girl)

its hard people!

god..im glad i got that off my chest
