Bass Drop KOs | aka #BassDropKOs or #BDKO

At the beginning of this summer (Summer 2014), my younger brother came up with something creative while playing Super Smash Bros: Project M. [Note: Project M is simply a mod of Brawl].

The thing my brother came up with is the Bass Drop KO.  It requires LIVE MUSIC with drops (preferably dubstep). Keyword: LIVE. It involves making an awesome KO during the match at the point the bass drops.

Here is a simple technical definition I came up with:

Definition of Bass Drop K.O.: A smashing K.O. that occurs at the Bass Drop of a dubstep song that is playing LIVE (or equivalent beat for non-dubstep, upbeat songs...but then it wouldn't be a Bass Drop KO anymore, would it?).

It's fun to play with these songs.  We would mute the TV and play our own music to the game.

Here is one of the first LIVE Bass Drop KO videos we recorded:

More Bass Drop KO videos can be found on my sibling channel: Wecantify.

For the full playlist of #BassDropKO videos, click here. *Note: It is on Wecantify's 2nd channel. We don't want to flood the main channel with #BDKO vids so we put the others in the 2nd channel.

Enjoy the Bass Drop KOs and if you make any, be sure to tag with with #BassDropKO or #BDKO and share it with me!

iPad Glitches

I've had my iPad 3 for two years. Lately, I've been finding numerous glitches with it.  It's not a bad thing - I think those glitches are cool.

My iPad is jailbroken and it is still running the iOS 5 software.
The following are glitches I've discovered and recorded directly (via a jailbreak recording app) from my iPad.

Self-Moving Photo Glitch on the Camera Roll (This is the coolest glitch I've found)

iPad Glitch: Infinite Zoom Out Glitch [Google Chrome App] 

iPad Glitch: Invisble Square Icon in Camera Roll 

iPad Glitch: Blank Photo Icon Glitch on Camera Roll 

Enjoy the glitches! I'll probably update this as I find more glitches.

The Importance of Keeping Journals [Backup Your Life]

It is important to record the important events of your life; it is a great way of documenting your life.  Whether you believe it or not, you deserve to have your life be remembered; especially if you are for bringing goodness to society and the world.

Buy multiple journals or composition book.  Or create a special folder on your computer or USB for your .txt or .docx life logs. You can call it a diary, a journal, or a log.  It's up to you - just make something in which you can store your entries.

Use one for your creative ideas.  Whenever a creative idea pops into your mind, write it down or type it up.  Put the date, sign your name.  I don't recommend sharing your creative diary so that you can patent and copyright your ideas in the future.

Use one for your personal life.  Record everything that you find memorable. Write down or type up your thoughts, your ideas, your observations, your memories, and everything else that you deem to be of importance. Date your entries.  Sign them.

Use as many journals as you need; make as many files as necessary.

Protect your physical or virtual journals.  Back them up, email them to yourself, hide them with your scrapbooks, buy a safe for them.

Don't share them unless you really want to.  Maybe you'll decide to make some entries public when the time is right.  Maybe you'll let people find them in the future, as if it were a hidden treasure.  Or maybe you'll just keep them a complete secret.

Your entries will be something that you can look back at when you grow up.  The passage of time overwrites and modifies human memories. With your journals, you may find something you can smile or reminisce about. Your journals will be something that other people can discover about you when you are older or even when you're gone.  They will become your written legacy.

Whether you it digitally or physically, always remember to backup your life.

Colleversity Tips: Stress Relievers

Life in college and university can be very stressful.  There's the pressure of work, homework, labs, projects, exams, relationships, and many other things.

If you push yourself and stress too much, you'll only end up hurting yourself.  Stress weakens one's immune system as well as lowering one's performance.  Stress messes with your mind and can cause an overall negative chain-reaction.

I'm not saying that all stress is bad.  Stress can be good - it can be used to motivate you to stop procrastinating and get your work done.  However, there is a limit on how much stress you can handle and once you approach or pass that limit, the things in your life start to deteriorate.

When you are negatively stressed, you just need to take a step back and reduce your stress levels.  Here are a few things that will definitely help reduce stress:

• Exercise.  Run outside, play a sport, or work out at the gym. Whatever it is, exercise is one of the best stress relievers.  Exercise for at least 30 minutes to an hour.  You should exercise everyday but that may not be an option.  So make a schedule and follow it; you can exercise 5 days a week, on MWF, on days where schedule isn't busy, or whatever other days work for you.  While it's ok to exercise at night, it's best to exercise at noon and even better to exercise in the morning.  That way, you'll feel fresh the whole day!
• Sleep.  Getting plenty of sleep is necessary.  If you're feeling stressed, maybe all you need is a little nap or a good night's sleep.  If you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep, time will wash your stress away.  If you take naps, don't make them too long - 30 minutes to an hour should suffice.
• Walk outside.  Taking walks are an excellent way of clearing your mind.  If you're feeling stressed, you should leave your baggage behind and take a stroll outside.  You can walk in the morning or at night; in the city or in a more natural place.  I recommend talking walks in nature rather than the city because the city can still be very stressful.  The best nature places to walk are on trails, in a forest, in a garden, by a beach, or any place that enables you to escape the city.  Breathing in fresh air, hearing birds chirp, and feeling the breeze on your skin will definitely take away your stress.  
• Take a break, do something you enjoy.  Sometimes you need to take your mind off whatever is stressing you out.  You can do this by engaging in your favorite hobbies.  It may include watching movies, watching TV shows, or watching Internet videos.  It may include reading, playing video games, or playing music.  It may even involve exercising, sleeping, or walking outside.  Whatever it is, make sure that don't spend too much time doing whatever it is your doing or else your 30 minute break may turn into a 3 hour break!

Being stressed can be good because it helps you to perform better under certain situations.  However, an excess of stress can be detrimental to your health.  If you are feeling over stressed, these are a couple tips that will definitely help you to relieve stress. #GreatImSoHappy
