To become old and wise, we must first be young and stupid.
Everyone fails at something... I just choose to share it.
UPDATE 7/3/08 - I'm still bruised pretty bad. The X-ray showed a fracture in my lower left hand, but I'm feeling a lot better. The only thing that hurts at the moment is my pocket book because being a viral film maker doesn't come with medical insurance. That's the main reason for why I was sad in this video. I'm just taking it easy for a week or so.

This video is yet another parody of my real life. Since I was a kid, I was always able to pick up a game and master it faster than normal, but having a gamer's ego has it's downsides. I tend to remember my loses more than my wins and every now and then it has an effect on my skills. So after entering my first professional gaming tournament, I decided to push myself harder in training to overcome my ego. With only 3 days to learn DOA4, my training technique was ridiculous. After losing my first match to the best DOA4 gamer in the world, I learned a very important lesson. You can't always beat the master in the first match. Being a champion takes time.

--- SEE SPARTA'S NEW VIDEOS on HIS PROFILE!!--- http://www.youtube.com/TheMeanKitty
LYRICS: I got this little kitty about 2 months back he was the nicest little kitty, now a pain in my crack This little kitty is a ninja, always stalking my feet This little kitty is a warrior you know what I mean
he's an evil little kitty look what he did to my hand tries to get in trouble in any way that he can I could give this cat a toy, but he'd rather have the wrapper and I will always give him water, but he still drinks from the crapper
You could lock him in a closet and he just won't care kitty chews on my shoes and he licks my hair always scratching on my favorite chair and jumping on the couch playing in the window sills and tearing through the house
He's so full of energy and easily amused kitty will attack anything that moves Causing trouble, starting battles just so he could be a little part of he's a meanest little kitty so we named him sparta
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite
Where'd you go are you stalking me? are you under the couch, quite possibly ears laid back so you don't get caught ready to pounce my leg with everything that you got
I know you're probably watching me from across the room concentrating contemplating on attacking me soon You're not invisible kitty, I'm gonna find you first Come out come out before I make things worse
I've seen where you hide and I know where you've been Hey kitty why don't you give in Even if you try to sneak up on me, I'm prepared Cause I've got my safety gear on and I'm not scared
I think I hear a kitty cat under the bed I know your making noises just to mess with my head You can stalk me all you want, but I'm not your pray cause you always seem to find me first, but not today
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight Come on out, I'm gonna get you now
I've got 'em cornered and now he's mine He's not gonna get away this time I'll snatch him up fast before he can blink and then... Aw man! He's asleep in the sink
What is with this cat? I'm confused He's got a bed, but it's never been used In every waking moment, kitty's out for the fight then [fart] next minute kitty's out like a light
How could I let this creature live inside of my home I gotta keep an eye on him when I'm on the phone I'm a little afraid to leave this cat all alone this kitty may destroy everything that I own
Look at him now, I kinda feel bad He's the best little cat that I've had and the one big thing I forgot to mention, was that He wasn't fighting, he just wanted attention
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite Hey little sparta what is with all the fight showing love, that's all this kitty does
BEHIND THE SCENES If you have a cat, I'm sure you can relate, lol. I originally wrote the song because I didn't want to do a simple talking blog about my Sparta's little biting problem and I also wanted to show my friends back home in Turlock what my new place in Thousand Oaks looks like.. BTW, trying to get a cat to perform for a music video... nearly impossible! lol Thanks for watching : )

WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEE: (My experience at the party with celebrities)
FIRST OFF... what did my fiance say about this? She was totally OK with me going because she knows how much I love her... Really, who doesn't know how much I love Steph by now?!?! LOL
MY EXPERIENCE AT THE PARTY: It all took place in the Paramount Studios lot on a movie set which looked like Burbon St (Mardi gras). There were so many celebrities there that everywhere I turned I was like.. "Hey, it's... oh and there's... wow, it's....". I kept it cool though and started talking to all the people.
One of the first people I talked to was Tila Tequila. Girl stood about 4' 10" and was actually really hot! I had a drink with her and just talked about new media stuff and she was totally cool. She's a smart one : )
Then I jumped over and started talking with Masi Oka, who plays Hiro Nakamura in the show Heroes. I was a huge fan of the show, so I couldn't resist saying hello. He was standing by himself by a heat lamp just looking around. I came up and introduced myself and he introduced himself as well. I talked about the party a bit and he just smiled and laughed a bit. He talked very little though. I got the feeling he was just one of those guys that likes to just be there. I spent about 3 minutes and moved on. Great guy though : )
Remember the movie Super Bad? McLovin was there! COOL ASS DUDE!!!
The Pussy Cat Dolls where fun to be around! There was a lot in the video that you didn't see, but the were totally rad!
I spoke to numerous other people, but these were the few that really stuck out for me... but none more than the next guy....
Steve-O. I've met Steve-O before while he was on tour and he was the one who inspired me to be who I am today. But as many of you know, he has been going through some really rough times with drugs and alcohol. What was great about seeing him was that he was TOTALLY SOBER and looked fantastic! Steve-O and I hung out for a while at the party and just talked about life. He's doing much better now and I told him that I would do what ever it takes to help him find his way back to being Stephen Glover again (himself minus the drugs). We exchanged phone numbers and went on our way. The best part about seeing him again was the fact that I finally got to say "Thank you". Steve-O if you're reading this... remember, entertain yourself before you entertain others. You are Steve-O, your own biggest fan. : )
All in all... this was an AMAZING night and I owe it all to igotshotgun.com and Pontiac! Yes, they sponsored me to go and I am freakin PROUD to represent : )

HOW THIS PRANK WORKED: This was a one shot prank and it was planned at the very last minute so we could have this video up by easter, but here's how we did it. Earlier in the day (Saturday), I told Marina (the victim), that I wanted her to do a promo for my "new Easter video" and all she had to do was say "If you think Cory's cat is cute, wait until you see his bunny!", then go outside, get my bunny and come back inside to show it to the cameras. She's a good friend of mine and she loves my videos, so I knew she'd agree to it.
HOW WE GOT EASTER BEAST OUTSIDE: Before Marina came over, me and a bunch of my friends set everything up. First, we had one guy (Grimel) dress up as Easter Beast, then had another guy guide him around (because you can't see very well through the mask). Jake (the guide) had a blue-tooth ear piece on and was able to hear everything I was saying from the storage room (which was where they were hiding on the patio when Marina went out there). When I said the words "Alright, lets do this.", it was the code for Grimel and Jake to set up the scare pose by the glass door. While they were setting up, I was letting Marina practice her lines in order to spare some time. Once their pose was set, Jake told me "all good" through the ear piece and I had Marina do her lines.
THE PAY OFF: Marina almost peed. : )
SPECIAL THANKS TO: Grimel Jake Stephanie KassemG and his girl and of course, Marina

WHAT DOES THIS VIDEO MEAN? Lately, I have been letting go of old things to bring new ones in. My cameras, my clothes, my 13 year old wallet, my phone, my marital status (from single to engaged), my sources of income, and even my car are just a few of the things in my life that have changed. I can't stop time, but I can't let it stop me.
ABOUT THE CAMERA'S:
3 cameras were used to capture all these angles with the help of Stephanie (my fiance). The cameras used were all Canons. The ZR500 (which I really broke), the XH-A1 (from the top), and the Vixia HV30 (from down hill on a tripod). The spinning shot you see in the video is in fact real and believe it or not, the camera survived the fall... but only for a short time. The blurry footage you see at the end was the camera's last working shot where I picked it up from the ground. It died right where this video ended. Now, the camera only works in playback mode, which is how I was able to recover the footage. RIP ZR500 : )
WHY DIDN'T I DONATE IT?
Because it was an old beat up camera, worth less than $100 at some stores BRAND NEW. So if some one doesn't want to work to earn $100 for a new camera, then they probably didn't need it in the first place. I bought my first camera by taking up a side job, chopping wood on a river ranch for an old guy with health problems. It was a hard job with low pay, but that's how I earned the money. You appreciate things more when you work for them.
The camera really is special to me and I knew I'd never use it again, so I had to do something extra special with it. Hopefully this video inspires others to better their own videos, that way this camera's sacrifice for art could be a part of the cause for that inspiration. You'll see it on my memoribilia shelf in the dining room in one of my upcoming videos.
ONE LAST THING...
NO, I'm NOT leaving YouTube! lol, c'mon now.

TITLE CHANGE: "Naked Mountain Tan" made people think this video was something that it wasn't and I don't want people to NOT watch this just because it says "naked" in the title. This is a clean video, so I just cleaned up the title.
THE PARODY: Lately, two things have been hurting... My heart and my pocket book. My heart because my blood pressure was insanely high and to the point where the doctor almost put me on meds. So I've been doing my best to stay fit, which is why I've been climbing high places so much lately. My pocket book hurts because Uncle Sam took a good chunk out of me (taxes). I'm not pinching dimes or anything, I'm doing just fine... I just has to express my frustration. As for naked tanning... While searching for places to mountain climb, I came across the "red naked man" and thought it would be fun to make a story from it. So there ya go : )
BEHIND THE SCENES: I was alone when I made this video, so I had to take all of my equipment up the hill by myself. It was one hell of a work out, but I needed it. The new camera (Canon XH-A1) is working great! I just need to practice a little bit more to get the shots that I want. I've been shooting everything on manual settings without a monitor, so it'll take a few more videos until I get it all down. My biggest problem was that I only had about 25 minutes on the tape and I forgot to grab another one before I left the house. I would have liked to get a few extra shots in, but I'm not sweating it.
WEIRD ERRORS IN THE VIDEO: Just as I start coming off of the hill to tan, the picture is suppose to go all black until the epic "eye opener" shot, but for some reason the shot goes back to the first cliff. Also, the audio seems to jump around just before the part where I say "don't fall, don't fall". The strange thing is, these errors don't happen in the raw video... So was it a YouTube glitch? I uploaded the same video to Vimeo in high definition and no errors there. Please YouTube, I love you but you've got to do something about these things. New players? Better processing? I don't know, just something better.
