Chapter 1: Unleashing

2000 years of peace have pasted in Hyrule, castles of wood and stone have becomes towers of glass and metal. The Hero of Time and The Twilight Princess are now just stories in books. That peace soon would be coming to an end when during an archaeology dig in the desert of the Old Kingdom relics was found. The relics seem to pulse with energy and was inscribed with writing of an almost forgotten language. All the relics were taken back to Hyrule where they were scanned and tagged. As the last last relic was scanned and the inscription translated, the room begun to darken as if the light in the room was being absorbed by the relic. Without warning as the last line was translated the room began to shake and all the equipment shut off. When the power returned to the room and all the equipment began to power back up, all the monitors displayed a glowing image…

The Triforce of Power

Got a pair of Dell BH200 Bluetooth Headphones early this week for around 50.oo Dollars. The first time set-up was fairly simple. After my computer found the headphones, entered the pairing code (0000). Did a full restart before my computer could connect and use them properly. (Make sure you make them your default playback device for your computer.) Only had a few issues where I had to completely restart a program to get them to work with it (*COUGH* itunes *COUGH*).

Pros:

Wireless

Decent range

comfortable

Cons:

Sometimes touchy set up when connecting to PC

No way to check battery level

short USB recharging cable

Well my time here in Washington is coming to an end. I would love to have some huge story about overcoming odds and becoming rich, sadly the story has more of a tone where someone forgot to fuel the plane before take off.

Rewind To About A Year Ago… A friend had money trouble and need money to pay her Utilities before they were shut off, her husband wouldn’t help and she had two small kids. I gave her the money and she promised to pay me back, I have only gotten a quart of the money back to date.

Fast Forward To Eight Months Ago… I added a friend to my phone plan because he was in need of one. It lasted a whole six months before he started to throw a fit about paying me, constantly complaining about or trying to put off paying me all together. another two months later he gets a phone on a different carrier and then disappears without paying me the rest of the money he owes me.

Fast Forward To Five Months Ago… My lead at work gets fired and they hired some ditzy chick for me to train to be my boss cuz she had “experience”. Then for like the next month there is no work, causing me to have to use credit card and borrow money from family just to pull through.

Fast Forward About Month And A Half Ago… The temp agency I worked for lost the contract and the warehouse asked me to switched to the new company. I went down filled out the app and did the drug test, come to find out I would have to keep working for the original agency for 30 days due to some rule or clause in the contract with the warehouse. From the get go it was a train wreck, having to call both agencies to find out about work. My workload and job title changed on a daily basis.

Fast Forward To Last Friday… Everything finally came crashing down when the warehouse started giving me tasks and changing rules then when I responded that I was told otherwise, the temp agency scolded me saying I was lying about it. I was fired after I blew up because the warehouse told me to go to another warehouse an hour before work after I had been told repeated time I didn’t have to go.

These are just the highlights to what has caused me to leave the Northwest and travel down to the South. Check back for the next chapter in my life…

Fox Chairman Tom Rothman told EW:

“The version that went out is unfinished. It’s about 10 minutes shorter, doesn’t have key scenes, it wasn’t edited, and none of the effects shots were in any remotely final form, It’s a complete misrepresentation of the film and is deeply unfair to the people who have worked on it for years.”

I think that this could be a missed chance to leverage more PR for the real movie release, if the leaked movie was treated as a type of trailer / Behind the scences feature. Fox should take a copy of this leaked movie (or a better copy) slap a disclaimer on the front saying this is a unfinished product and a promotional item and then release it to the public.

I have seen the leaked movie and am ten times more excited to see the final release then I would have been if I had never seen it. Most fans would be excited to see how a movie is coming along and being created. The flow of information can’t be stopped but you can control and steer to where you want it to go. Simply standing on the sidelines and crying foul isn’t going to help the problem, you have to evolve with your audience and the world or you will be left trying to catch up.
