Ken…Kennny…Kenneth.
Kenneth Christopher Kontras. Heh.
Did you know they
were gonna call you K.C. when you were born? When you
were born, I was WOOOOOOOOOOOAH. I was 14. And so it
happens. Full circle. Anyway, I was 14 years old, and
what I was going to say before that revelation was
that I bought a deck of cards at the gift shop before
coming up to see you and wrote on them "K.C.'s Cards".
Strange huh?
Then again I was
gonna be named Adrian. Even as a friggin' BOY. Whew. I
dodged a bullet there. Adrian Kontras. Hmm, other than
the horrible Rocky references I would've gotten as a
kid - that doesn't look too bad I guess.
Man, it really
blows me away that you're the same age I was when I
first held you. Hey now I'm exactly twice your age!
Shit, that's not a fun thing to say. Moving
on.
So you're another
year closer to driving, though after what you did to
that scooter I'm not sure that's a good thing. Heh, at
least you'll be able to fix the first motor you burn
out. Good skill to have.
Whew, what do you
talk about when you're 14? All I cared about at 14 was
sex. Sex and writing songs…
…to impress
the girls that I wanted to have sex with. LOL. It
rules that I can actually talk to you like a normal
person as opposed to that kid you can't say the f-word
in front of. Heh. On the sex issue however, I'll have
you know that I waited (not by my own choice really)
until my 16th birthday and was indeed protected. So I
can give you that piece of advice. Hell, diseases
aside - you just don't want a kid man. And it can
happen in an instant. As well, you know you can always
call me if you need to talk. Been cool getting calls
from you lately.
Anyway, your video
had quite a bumpy ride this year. I had the idea
of having another me pop his head out of a computer
screen while I was working, since that's all I've
been doing lately. Have him scare food out of my mouth
and then we'd sing a song. The food part was funny as
hell, as you can plainly see in this
picture:
Now that's classic
cinema right there. So I just put that part at
the end of your video. The rest however, just didn't
work very well. Spent 3 hours framing out my friggin'
head frame by frame...and it just didn't look good.
Besides, I have a feeling I was a little too
dirty. I have to remember that when I was
14, it was a SECRET that I was the way I was...lol -
so we'll pretend for another couple of years that you
have no idea what I'm talking about. ;-) Kinda like
the "door" rhyme in your video.
Anyway,
enjoy the real
video.
I did this technique where
I sing your song REALLLLLLY slow
and then speed it up, but keep my pitch
the same. Thought I'd show myself
freakin' out left. Your birthday sure
is fun. Heh.
Hope to see you
soon!

In 4tvs news I'm
in the midst of an absolutely enormous site rebuild
and have a million things I want to share with
everyone, but I'm going to give them their own, proper
entry. Assuming nothing newsworthy happens to me for
the rest of this month, the entries are pretty laid
out.
#298 will be about
the site rebuild, all that's gone into it - all the
changes, why I'm doing it, what it means…yadda
yadda.
#299 will be on
01.23.04, the 5 year anniversary of the very first
4tvs shoot. Uploading a shitload of new pictures and
video. Hard to believe it's been that
long.
And the big #300
will be a section of the site I'm soooo friggin' proud
of. It may be the best parody/idea/publicity stunt
I've ever done. Also the most time consuming. Most
assuredly worthy of the big Entry #300.
For now I go back
to the hell that is webwork. I did all the fun stuff
first, and now all I'm left with is endless days of
busy work that make me curse how poorly I organized my
site in 1999/2000. What an absolute pain in the ass.
But one that I'll explain in the next
entry.
