  • Superman Vs Batman Batmobile Design

    Very basic. Very vigilante looking. Not something “created by the government”.

  • Superman Vs Batman Official Plot Synopsis

    By Chongchen Saelee

    I think Superman dies in “Superman vs. Batman”. It’s much like “Empire Strikes Back” when Han gets frozen in carbonite. They’d want to leave SVB open-ended with a cliffhanger. Otherwise you won’t watch the last movie in their franchise. So this is how it will play out… (more…)

  • How to file a Privacy Act Request with CIA or other US Federal Agency

    By Chongchen Saelee

    It’s hard not to take things personally when you’ve realized your entire life has been under surveillance and scrutinized meticulously. It makes you question whether or not you’re an equal citizen, or a tool of the government, an expendable pawn. I have it in me to eventually submit a formal request to find out what the US Government has documentated about me. Or should I just ignore these losers and try to live my life?

    And ironic of all, they charge you a fee to get that information about yourself. Who knows what kind of garbage they have written about you or is made up. Talk about sadistic.

  • ModelMayhem.com is Awesome-tastic!!!

    By Chongchen Saelee

    I’m not just saying that because I get a lot of referrals to this website from modelmayhem.com, but also because I am a proud member of the social networking website for models, photographers, and the like. You can check out my photography portfolio at www.modelmayhem.com/eastfist.

    How To Succeed With Model Mayhem

    No matter what your goals are using the website, it’s important that you don’t give up. As long as you aren’t a creeper or sexual predator, and you’re main goal should be creating somekind of art or modeling or doing something involving artmaking, and not just getting laid, then you could be successful. The first thing you want to do is get familiar with the actual network and socialize. It’s pointless to join the site if you’re not trying to find people to collaborate with. (more…)

    Seems like my kind of humor.

  • May is “Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month” in Murica

    Too bad I had no clue. I live it 24/7. What’s another month gone by? If I was truly dedicated to babysitting YouTube viewers, I would have planned an entire shebang of videos, but I think they’re old enough to wipe their butts, so they don’t need me to feed them more junk.

  • USD$100 Up For Grabs: Convince Me

    By Chongchen Saelee

    Consider this a social experiment. This is NOT A JOKE. I want to see if anyone will take the bait… and I’ll document it.

    Consider this my act of kindness with a twist.

    If you have a PayPal account, a real one (don’t con me), I’m willing to give you USD$1 as a donation until that USD$100 is dispensed or I close the contest. But you have to convince me. Leave a comment with your real name and email in the comments and why I should give you free money. If you post any pics, make sure you own the rights or have permission to do so.

    Whoever I decide to give money to agrees that I now have the right to use your likeness and submitted content to publicize my contest or use in any marketing materials as I see fit, which includes my YouTube videos, various blogs, printed materials, etc. That’s the only catch. Not too complicated.

    Good luck!

  • Taco Bell’s “Mystery” Beef Ingredients finally spun!!!

    http://gma.yahoo.com/taco-bell-reveals-mystery-beef-ingredients-201253055–abc-news-Recipes.html

    So a while back, Taco Bell made public that the beef you get with your Taco Supreme or burrito or whatever was not 100% beef. It was in fact only about 88% beef and 12% filler. Say whaaaat?

    I imagine the main reason is to cut costs. That 12% are preservatives and stuffing. You can read the full list at the provided link.

    I still love Taco Bell every now and then. Hey, Taco Bell, where’s my check?!!!

  • Don’t Let Anyone Stop You From Persuing Your Dreams

    By Chongchen Saelee

    As cliched as it has become, you only live one life. Forget God. Forget luck. Forget reincarnation. There is no such thing. You only live one life and then you die. That’s it. So in that time, you’d better have figured that out and make the most of it. And if you’re lucky enough to live in an environment that allows you to be happy, then by God, how ironic, you better be happy. (more…)

  • “Superman Vs. Batman” is Official Title of Sequel to “Man of Steel”

    By Chongchen Saelee

    From here on out, I will be referring to “Batman Vs Superman” as “Superman Vs Batman”, which I’m confident is the official title. Before, it was just important that “Batman” was mentioned in the title, and obviously that’s going to draw in a huge market. But there is a logic to having Superman billed first in the title because it is his franchise after all. And Affleck is going to get his own Batman franchise anyway.

    So, here’s what we know: (more…)
