Today was a pretty cool day.

To start...

My dad wakes me up at 7:30 am...and i went to sleep at like 2 am...he tosses me out of bed and is like...YO! WAKE UP! WE LEAVING IN ONE HOUR!!
I go shower...then off to the expo.

It was a lot smaller than the DV Expo East at the Javits center in New York...this expo was at a Sheraton Hotel near Giants stadium. They had some pretty cool things there...They had some big name companies and some ive never heard of..like tricaster or somethin like that.
They had Canon...Sony...Panasonic...JVC.

But they didnt really show all that great cameras. Panasonic had the best cameras though. I held and used a working DVX100B...its soo awesome...and super light.
They had a working HVX which i was REALLY surprised at. That camera is...i cant explain it...jus phenominal...heavy as hell..but, omg it rapes...they didnt have any P2 cards with them...so I just looked through the menus and stuff...its soooooooo crazzy.

Nothing much else...Sony jus had the consumer HD handycam..its small...and their FX1.
Canon had the XL2...and some other little cameras. But I noticed something...Canon has their own 35mm adaptor for the XL2. Its a little screw on, onto the body of the camera..obviously you take the main lens off...then you put in any 35mm lens from like a Nikon or something on it..turn on the 24p mode..and you would really thing your shooting 35mm film.

JVC....all small little cameras...not those big HD cameras they had in New York.

That was about it. Nothing special...but the highlight of my day was messing with the Panny cameras.
 
So can you answer the eternal question? Does the HVX "clunk" when you tilt it??

(It "rapes"? Is that common slang these days? "Rapes"? Like, it's a good thing? :huh: )

(Not picking on you personally.)

("How'd it go?" "You wouldn't believe how much I raped!" :shocked: )

It is unfourtunate, but yes, to rape something is now a part of popular slang. I walk through the halls of my high school, and hear it everywhere. Examples: "I got raped by that test" , " I rape you at basketball" , " I Rape Own" (online games slang) ....
 
I didnt tilt it to see if it clunks...i didnt wanna like risk anything of breaking...i was like so cautious handling that thing...it was like holding a nuclear bomb that would like blow up the world if droppped or sutting...i was sweating bullets madd chugga crazy.

Yes...the word ''rape'' is used for slang for many things..and it could mean good..depends wat you are talking about.

I raped you in Mario 2....Dont do that stupid move that rapes me in Mario 2...HVX is rape compared to FX1.

Rape is a good thing..not the actual action of raping....you get the point..

Do i really use ''beast'' that much?

i mean...the HVX is a really beastly camera...a hemi is a beast compared to a 4 cylinder engine....
 
Oh yeah! You think you had a cool day, huh!? Well, to start with I woke up with dried blood on my hands, blood that I had no idea where it came from. Then I watched a movie "For a few dollars more" with Clint Eastwood, great movie. Top that or shall I just say "rape" that!

P.S.Did I use that word right, huh, I know I'm a teenager and I should know these new slang words but man I just don't know. Help me out here guys. :laugh:
 
Robert86...i know how it feels to wake up in blood. It's hapended to me...i woke up at 4 im the moring and my sheets, face, arms, and shirt was covered in blood. It was crazy.
I never watched "For A Few Dollars More". I might check it out if i go to blockbuster today or something.

And yes....no offense..you used rape wrong...WAY WRONG!!

instead of saying...."Rape That"...say..."That movie rapes among other _____*insert genre of movie here*, movies."

Real life example:

That dog that attacked me got raped by my size 13 1/2 foot implanted into its face.

There are many possibilities of using the word Rape. Use rape as a helping adjective.

To end this abnormally long post...

"TERRY!!! I RAPED YOU!!!"
..any affilition of me or terry being raped is not subjected by law...
 
Goddamnit, I'm sorry. I should've known better.:)

Yeah, definitely check out "for a few dollars more". It's a western(which I never use to care for) but a good one.
