Watch new movies without the download

This is like going to youtube and watching a full movie. It's just as fast. The quality of some isn't the best but let's face it... If your looking for downloadable movies, ur looking to save money and will give up some quality for the price of nothing, right!?!?


you don't even have to sign up just click one... click play and it starts, BAM! awesome!

We're all mice lookin for the cheddar.

Check out this cool game. Transformice. You get to play with and against other people online. Sometimes our the level creator and sometimes the player. I think it's pretty fun to pass some time.

A good use of school assignments

Hey there! School started today and I had to introduce myself to my online class through a discussion board. I figured I can just put it up on here too so everyone reading can learn a little more about me and my goals in life and what not. I left the first paragraph out of here just because of reasons of personal information and stuff. Enjoy!...

When I am not playing coast guardian, I am living in Clearwater, Florida and working as a bank teller for Wachovia which is now Wells Fargo Bank. I really don’t care for the job and its’ monotony and sales induced quota responsibilities but, I cannot complain about the hours and weekends off. When I’m not working, you can either find me nestled into my makeshift birds nest at a Borders or Barnes and Noble with a couple off the shelf books, my apple laptop (aka my life-force, LOL), headphones and pad of paper with what looks like randomness scribbled all over it. I’m a closet nerd that loves to burrow a little nook right in the middle of a crowd. It’s my way of learning and ultimately my way of living. I don’t want to be the center of attention, I want to be right in the center of everything else happening around me without being really engaged. It’s like taking people watching and making it a sport. I love just seeing everything going on and analyzing it all without physically being an active member in it. I’m a Life Voyeur.

So that’s 1 side of me... The other side is the beach bum, explorer of opportunities to stimulate the release of Adrenaline, and movie / music aficionado. I love being lazy as much as I love being active too. They go in cycles for me. I am a certified SCUBA diver, I love skydiving, mountain biking, running, and dancing. You can find me getting crazy and singing to old rock favorites at a dive bar or totally embracing my inner tribal dance emotions at a big techno club. I am a huge fan of all music and my favorite styles are trance, techno, and electronic. I love that music can exclude words and still fill me with emotion. You can also catch me singing in my Jeep Wrangler with the top and doors off to Top 40’s music. I seem to always get into whatever is in the Top 40’s.

I am currently taking this class because it is a requirement for this university but, I believe it will help me learn how to learn a little better. I am used to a live classroom setting and haven’t messed with the e-campus realm very much. I am excited to see what I get out of this class and I plan to dive in head first and get what I can out of it. When I am learning on my own, I tend to become a hermit and immerse into my own world so I assume that if I can find an interest in what I am forced to study then I will not have a problem. Although, I am going to try to create connections and bonds with my online teachers and classmates on here. So, if you feel the same then please hit me up on here.

My goal at AMU is to obtain a bachelors in Information Technology with an emphasis on .NET Framework. With this degree and a little help from networking with peers, I plan to get a foot into a company that requires my technical skills to do exciting jobs. I want to make a good living using computers because that’s my real passion. It took a long time to realize what was directly in front of me when I was figuring out what I wanted to do with my life.

I have a beautiful dream of how I want my life to be. I want to use the skills I learn in college to get me to a company that forces me to use those skills to build computer programs and applications that break through the ever-expanding borders of today. I want to make a difference in how we as people, use computers in our daily life. I want to take what I learn through experience and express my creative ideas on my own. I have a very entrepreneurial mindset and a creative brain full of imagination that is always conjuring up new ideas and ways to make something else better. Right now, I don’t have the technical skills to turn an idea into a product so that’s where school and experience will come in. My idols share the love for information as I do.

Facebook was an idea that was invented on a very small scale by people who lacked skills. With Mark Zuckerberg’s mind, the unformed idea was transformed from that to a world wide idea. His skill set then collaborated with the idea and he was able to convert the idea to the product the world didn’t know that they were actually in need of. There’s a misconception in the world that it only takes an idea to change the world. I believe it takes more than an idea to change the world. I have ideas all the time and have yet to make an impact. You need motivation and skills to connect with ideas to make a difference. Hitler had an idea, but it was his motivation, public speaking skills, understanding of the current economics and their effect on human emotion, and military background that created the Holocaust. This education will lead me to the skills I can pair up with my motivation and ideas to make an impact on the world. Unlike Hitler, however, I will look for ways to make the world a better place. In Hitlers defense though, so was he. Look out world, Petty Officer Wade Sellers will be blowing your mind in the future.

In 5 to 10 years, I see myself growing and expanding my own ideas into products to make people in the world happier. I want to live in a large city in a nice condo in a skyscraper high above the city with a large patio. I want to enjoy a glass of wine while looking down to the city and watching it breath. Again, my zen is to be in the middle of the chaos without real connection. An onlooker to the marvel of separate yet connected lives creating the livable world we have today. When I experience that emotion on my own, I know that I have succeeded in my life and did it my way.

I am going to stop here with a quote I came up with a couple months ago that I like to think about and motivate me to continue progressing in life. “You're as big as your idea, and as small as your ambition. Everyone in the world has an idea, it’s the 1% out of everyone that turned it into a reality that we all live within. What have you done today?”

A bad start with a fun finish

So today started off annoying but turned into a fun adventure. After the early morning reading of general orders, I grouped up with 6 friends and in the pouring rain we set out for a day of golf. We lucked out for the most part and only got rained on a little bit while hitting our 18 holes. I came in 2nd place which was awesome for me.
On the last hole the wind began to pick up quite a bit and we realized really quick that a large storm system was sitting right over top of us. There was lighting crashing all around us and here we are standing in the middle of a golf course surrounded by trees holding metal rods aka the golf clubs. Not the best place to be. We finished out and on the cart ride back to the clubhouse came a huge bolt of lightning to our left followed by the loudest thunder boom I have ever heard. It scared me so much that my neck muscles tensed up completely and held there for a minute. It was pretty painful. It was like my sternocleidomastoids and trapezius Dorsi's locked knotted up instantly. Kinda scary. Upon getting back to the clubhouse we had to walk across a large baseball field to the bus stop in the super duper pouring rain. we were soaked and dripping by the time we made it to the bus stop. It was fun though.
Later in the evening, we played a 9 person game of Texas Hold'em (my favorite poker game) The game lasted 4 hours and I came in 2nd place. 2nd place won their money back so that means I played poker for free. That's considered a win in my book :)
I tend to make it real deep in a poker game which is great. It's tough to lose when u get down to 2 people. I think I'm a pretty good poker player when against the general population but I could get a lot better. I need to pay attention to my opponent more than I try to but after 4 hours of play and seeing a few hundred poker hands, I tend to get burnt out.
Any who it's late. Im tired and fortunately if all goes as planned will be able to sleep in a bit and then get some computer work done.
My first day of my BS program starts well today at 6 AM so I'm going to dive head first into it. I 'm super excited to get cracking with this.
Have a goodnight!

late night pep up

Sometimes it takes the sadness of a friend to show you something about yourself that you may have missed or forgot about when you were the sad 1 in life. Life can be a bitch. Events can really drag you down. You can feel stuck or show you that it's time for you to work harder when you don't feel like it at the moment. It's those moments that will define u! Rocky says it best when he says, "It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can be hit and still move forward." You can click that to hear it at its best.
All great people in life. All people that you know life stories or read about great achievements, all those people could take the punches. It's what has defined them. Their achievements are there spotlighted moments in life but no one reaches that aspect in life without getting the shit beat out of them on the way. Nothing can navigate you around the punches. I don't care who you are. No matter where u want to be in life, you have to trudge through a lot of shit if you want to be different, defined, embraced in your mental greatness.
You want to accomplish your dreams, you can only research how to attain them so much, u can't follow someone else's path. You will feel emptiness. The path to success is not written anywhere, you have to write it for yourself and then protect it. No one can take your path because no one is exactly u in the exact time and life and environment as you.

DISCLAIMER: BEWARE OF ME!

I just want to toss this out now before you get sucked in too far. My mind is pretty random and I will be all over the place with this blog. I let my ideas run a lot in my head and I am not short of imagination at all. Especially when I start writing things down, it seems to slow down my thought process thus developing my ideas even more intricately. My imagination paints the ideas just as fast but has more time to refine them.

So, if you think I'm quite kooky after a little while, just remember I gave you a warning. Now without further ado, welcome to the World Of Wade. Yes that was a funny I was trying to make by correlating the name of the blog with the hugely famous game World of Warcraft AKA W.O.W. for you tech savvy and video game passioned readers out there.

*idea: I would like to put my face on a World of Warcraft character for this blog. If you have the ability please do help me out with that. Toodles!

Time to get this ball rolling

This is the first installment of many, I hope. I have been wondering what to write about on this for awhile. I believe the problem with that way to look at this is that I don't really think of 1 thing for too long until it's time to move on for me.

I have begun to start this class for my bachelors degree online and the textbook is more like a self help book on how to learn better. It's called "Learn More Now". I've been through a chapter so far and it seems to be neat. 1 thing it talked about is starting a journal and keeping it going with whatever is on my mind. That's why I have started this blog. I will be writing in a journal style pad of paper and also on here. It seems that when u write things down daily, it will help u to keep on track for things and to also help connect dots to be more efficient on getting things done. For those reasons plus the sake of getting the most out of this class, I will oblige and thus keep this blog going.
