Your life feels different on you, once you greet death and understand your heart's position. You wear your life like a garment from the mission bundle sale ever after -- lightly because you realize you never paid nothing for it, cherishing because you know you won't ever come by such a bargain again.

Update, Fable 3!

Greetings, folks!

I just recently came by a Limited Collectors Edition Fable 3 box for the price of the normal game!
So i've been spending alot of time playing the third installation in the Fable series with my girlfriend, and I've been very busy on the Vertigo commercial.

The commercial is coming along nicely, but some of the other teams could not make the deadline, so that has been moved 14 days into the future, meaning much more time for us to cut and polish our project!
School work is not as rough as it has been lately and that's great.

That was just a short update, I'll come out with a review of Fable 3 quite soon, if I find the time! :)

The Social Network


The Social Network is a movie about the evolution of Facebook, how Marc Zuckerberg came to be the youngest billionaire in the world and how you;
"Don't get to 500 million friends, without making a few enemies.".
I found this movie seriously interesting, and it made me want to start something on my own - a web company, thing is... i think this movie instills this feeling in most of us, when we see how Marc came to his huge amounts of success. Sure, there's ups and downs - but in the end, he had Facebook, the single largest site in the world.
I must say that i'm amazed at the entire story, and i can see how Zuckerberg could think that this should not be allowed to be a feature film. I think, however, that it does not necessarily make him out as the bad guy.
I was pretty much positively suprised by this movie.
Much of this movie is actually the music, as there's not really alot going on on the visual side - it's mostly a "thinking" movie, and it has alot of subtle hints in it.

Over all, this movie was a solid 10 out of 10 for me.
It's a definate watch!

By the way; a quick update for you guys:
My media commercial is due for handing in around monday, meaning that i'll be able to modify it after that point, and possibly put it online for you guys to watch! Thanks for all the positive interest :)

Media-class.

'morning, guys!
Currently sitting here in media class, working on a commercial for our film-festival "Vertigo".
I'll post it when we get done some time around monday, started my day with a run before going for the bus this morning, and it felt great!

I'll keep you updated on all my projects much more in the future, but currently i'm on a work-overload! Making money is always a good thing. Also looking at an apartement in a more northern part of Denmark with my girlfriend at the moment - this change is going good!

Welcome!

Greetings, and welcome to my blog!

This blog is going to be centered on the changes i'm working on performing in my life. I will be posting news, goals and other things related to my personal change on here.
I hope some of you will be able to get some inspiration from this blog, and maybe change a bit yourselves.

I might just need to introduce myself first:
I'm Jakob, and i am currently a lazy geek, mostly sitting around doing nothing with my time. The wave of change that i'm living by right now started out when me and a friend of mine decided to quit WoW and limit Facebook to only weekends/no school.

I'm on my second week of no gaming and less Facebook now, and this feels awesome. Just this morning i decided to start the day with running, and it worked out great - running really gives you alot of energy to stay focused on whatever it is you need to focus on!

Well, that was just my quick intro, hope you feel interested and that you are wanting to follow me through this.

Jakob.
