I think I've got malaria



I'm really getting pumped for this movie. I can't wait to download it and watch it in the comfort of my own home. For free.

Concise vs. Stylish

I'm a writer.
This is a fact even if I tend to be in a continuous state of writer's block. Actually I wouldn't say that I have writer's block so to speak, it's just I don't have the... motivation to write perhaps. It's not that I have a shortage of ideas or stories to write about, it's just that I can't really get going on any particular project for an extended amount of time. All of the journalism-style writing that I've been doing is not helping me be able to write longer pieces. I've been training very hard for the past three years to write tight, concise articles in AP style. This has made my professional writing MUCH better to the point where, and this isn't ego, I'm probably one of the better journalists at my school writing-wise. It's not like I go to Columbia or anything, but I'm still fairly proud.

Anyway, this has had an adverse effect on my literary writing. I find myself being unsatisfied with my longer writing because it seems so longwinded. I know that's how it's supposed to be, but now I'm having trouble slowly unraveling a plot. I'm having trouble writing subtle plotlines anymore.

I don't lack for inspiration, I am constantly writing stories in my head. A good liar is a good storyteller, they are always thinking on the fly. When I listen to music I don't listen to the words, really, I write a story in my head and let the music push my thoughts around. Like I've said before, everything I see or hear about helps me and I can include even the littlest tidbit in my writing. My mind isn't hungry for inspiration. I need a muse. Every great writer had a muse, a reason to write, a force that drove them to write, something that motivated them. I hope I'm destined to find my muse.

I'm young yet, I've got years to go. I'll continue crafting stories, and one day I know I'll find my motivation.

If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

ECW = Science Fiction wrestling?

According to Vinnie Mac, ECW will have to appeal to hardcore ECW fans, sports entertainment fans... and the Sci-Fi channel. That's not good. He also says that ECW will have to contain characters that appeal to the Sci Fi crowd. Probably one of the requirements for having it on that particular channel. Crap...

Snake vs Anaconda... ECW edition.

A Sure Thing is Never Sure

Rey Mysterio managed to defend his title against JBL!!! Just when you are certain from all the rumors and talkings that JBL was destined to rob poor old Rey of his title he retains. One of the coolest reigns ever continues. The underdog champion goes on, lucky as hell. Great story, great story. After being utterly squashed three weeks in a row by subpar big men, Rey pulls out the important win. Just like Trips not winning the belt at Wrestlemania, JBL doesn't win it here (praise Allah). Those were both sure things that didn't happen... Vinnie Mac, there may be some brains left in your head that aren't insane.

Paul London and Spanky won the tag team titles, hells yeah. They deserved those titles back in '03, but at least they have them now.

But if you do want a sure thing watch Naomichi Marufuji vs Kenta Kobashi from the 4/24 Budokon show. That's a sure MOTYC. Really cements Marufuji as the future of NOAH. He'll hold the GHC Heavyweight title, for damn sure. KENTA vs Taiji Ishimori was good too, catch that if you can.

Professor Henry Jones: They're trying to kill us.
Indiana Jones: I know, Dad.
Professor Henry Jones: This is a new experience for me.
Indiana Jones: It happens to me all the time.

Introducing... Mrs. KENTA!!!

I am here to bring you the latest and greatest gossip, which is that KENTA is getting married. Apparently this sort of thing is always a huge story in Japan, and it seems to be making the press rounds in Japan.

You're only 24, dude, you shouldn't go throwing your life away so willy-nilly. But kids make there mistakes at younger ages nowadays, why I remember back in my day you didn't get married till you had some world experience in you and knew what the fuck you were doing! I mean, just look at Kenta Kobashi...

I wonder if Kobashi will drown his tears of lonliness with sake at KENTA's wedding?

I think it's time for Kobashi to give up on the ladies. Every year we hear about Kobashi's failed 'journey' to find a wife. Granted, it's funny as fuck, but I'm starting to feel sorry for the semi-diety. Maybe he should get one of those mail-order Latvian brides!

KENTA... KENTA... I'll give you the same advice I gave a young Bill Cosby, beat your wife with a sack of oranges so there aren't any scars.

Cliff Huxtable: Oh,oh-oh! You see, the kids these days, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage. With the hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin', they don't know what the jazz is all about. Y'see, jazz is like Jello pudding... no, that's not it. Jazz is like Kodak film... no, that's not right neither. I've got it, jazz is like the new Coke - it'll be around forever.

Liger Soul, Liger Smash

I'm starting to wonder whether Japan was, like, especially created for me or something. Because there are other countries that I want to go to, sure, but Japan just seems perfect. I was watching that show on Travel Channel yesterday and the host went to China, which just seemed much more bland. It did have the cultural aspect which was great, but the people seemed to be lacking... I don't know, a certain quirkiness I suppose. Maybe Hong Kong or Shanghai would be what I'm looking for. Still want to go there. Not as much as my future home, Japan, though.

Japan is a perfect match though, outside of the standard cultural coolness that seems to just glisten from every aspect of Japan. Japan is the number two country in the world for professional wrestling. In fact, most of the best matches come from Japan, many of my favorite wrestlers are Japanese. Also the birthplace of video games is essentially Japan. Most of the best games of all time came from Japan. Many, many years ago that was the reason I wanted to go, but now it's really blossomed from that to a point where that isn't a reason for wanting to go anymore. But it's a match for me. Ninjas and samurai, I have loved these two historical warrior types forever. Everyone loves ninjas, more or less. Before I knew what the hell Japan was I wanted to be a ninja (probably because of old-school TMNT). Japanese are now making some of the best horror movies in the world, too. And who doesn't love horror movies? The anime thing used to match, but now I fucking hate it. And of course, the Japanese love Scandinavian metal!

The Japanese people are priceless, too. No doubt about it. Plays right into my "everyone that isn't like me is funny" mentality, possibly because I'm not a good person.

Japan. A country created specifically for me. What is your country?

O-Ren Ishii: Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with Samurai swords.

One-Nil

I have nothing to blog about.

I'm blogging about having nothing to blog about. Does that make me the hero of the world? I think so.

It's early in the day yet anyway. I awoke today at 6 and didn't get back to sleep. Very odd contrast with yesterday when I woke up at noon. I was pissed, to say the least. I couldn't fall asleep until 5 in the morning two nights ago for some reason, just kept tossing and turning. But today I have nowhere to go when yesterday I did, but spent my time asleep and pissed off. Now I'm wide awake and bored. How much of that made sense is for the fairies of nonsensical ramblings to decide.

Japanese wrestling entrance themes are wondrous creations of man. Dueling electric guitars rocks your socks off, motherfuckers. KOJIMA! KOJIMA! KOJIMA! KOJIMA!

When I start talking I should stop thinking and I would start to make more sense.

Persona 3 is coming to America. Woot!

I guess I did have stuff to blog about. Just put your unimportant thoughts that are of interest to nobody into words and booyaka, you've got a blog. Wait... that's every blog I've ever done.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Hee hee. "Get her." That was your whole plan. I like it; it was scientific.

Films on the Horizon

There are quite a number of major movies coming out this year that I am looking forward to seeing. I know that the number I actually see in the theaters will be at most two because I don't have any disposable income right now. Still, I am quite excited about these movies.

X-MEN: THE LAST STAND
This movie looks to be an incredible addition to the line of X-Men movies. I may be a little biased because the X-Men was a major part of my childhood, but I can't wait to see this movie.

NACHO LIBRE
Okay, this one is definately one that I won't be seeing in theaters. Yet, I do want to see this. I enjoy the comic stylings of Jack Black, and I love me some Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling). So it's a natural movie for me to see.

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT
Uhhhh, talk about unecessary sequel. Actually, the second one was unecessary. The first movie should have stood alone because it was solid and it was decent. Number two was shit. Number three... well it's in Tokyo and that's the only reason I want to see it.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST
Because I'm a motherfucking pirate! Seriously, a sequel to one of my all time new favorite movies and another round of Johnny Depp's incredible performance as Cap'n Jack Sparrow.

MIAMI VICE
If you don't accept that Miami Vice is the greatest TV show ever (behind the A-Team) then you aren't my friend. It stars Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell, so there will be some solid performances. It's also directed by Michael Mann, who made some very good movies including Collateral.

SNAKES ON A PLANE
We got snakes on a motherfucking plane! This movie is such a bad idea that it HAS to be good, right? It's no Bees on a Tugboat, but it'll do. How many millions will this make?

CLERKS 2
I'm living the Kevin Smith slacker life, according to a friend of mine. His dream life. Anyway, this movie is a sequel to one of the coolest indy films ever. The cast may be a little more star-studded than the original, but I have faith in Kevin Smith. I really can't wait to see this movie, it'll be genius.

THE GRUDGE 2
The inevitable sequel after the success of the first one, and I want to see it even if it's really only because of the "Japan factor". I guess there is also a guaranteed third movie too. So many sequels...

CASINO ROYALE
I know, I KNOW, that a blond James Bond will not be able to capture the aura that is the greatest British spy ever. I'll never accept a blond Bond, and I hope this is the only outing for Daniel Craig. It should've been Clive Owen!

TENACIOUS D in THE PICK OF DESTINY
The 'story' of how Tenacious D formed, in movie form. It'll be funny, but how good will it be? I don't know, all I know is I do want to see it a little bit.

And that's that...

Dante Hicks: But you hate people.
Randal Graves: Yes, but I love gatherings. Isn't it ironic?

KRUNK UNIVERSITY


If I had as much "skill" (black skin and the ability to talk) as Lil Jon, I'd be so rich that I could do nothing. I mean, I do nothing, but I'd have the money so that I would never have to do anything. Plus if I ever ran out of money, I could get somebody to record me angrily yelling for 40 minutes, split it up into 10 parts and release it for an instant 3 million sales.
I'm just playing, yo, I don't hate all rap. It's just most of it is not for me and it perpetuates a negative black stereotype. Plus I'm always around a bunch of white kids trying to be black, and it is so annoying. What I want is to be surrounded by a bunch of Indians-from-India trying to be black... that would be funny!

Eeps, this whole post is steeped in racism. Tis all in good humour.

Liars lie to everyone but themselves. People who tell the truth lie to nobody but themselves.

Deep.

6/7

I was looking at that there map thingy on the right of my page, the one that tells you whar in the world people be looking at yo page from. If you click on it you get a bigger view, which is cool, just wish I'd had it running the whole time this site's been up.
I was looking at it and realized that I've got hits from every single continent that matters, you know that ones that have permanent populations. Now I just have to get me a random hit from an Antarctic ice station, such as Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station or Novolazarevskaya Station.

E-C-fucking-W

D-O-N-E... or as close as I can be

Wellsir, it seems like the school year is over. My first senior year of college is finishing up tomorrow with two essay-tastic finals in my two history classes. Theoretically I should be graduating this week, too. I'm better off not graduating, I think. I come back in the fall and finish up my minor and graduate in December sans celebration.

BUT, I am finished with my major! I completed all the required courses to graduate with a degree in journalism! I'm really just 9 credits shy of being a news-writing-guy. Today I finished writing part 3 of my thesis on media ethics. Yeah, there were some other things I could've done today that would've been much, much more fun. Alas, I decided to focus on schoolwork for once in my life. I have been less than graceful today, but I'm sure everyone can understand the pressure I've been under to get my coursework completed. But it IS done. Forever. Until I get a job in journalism...

Now I get a job... theoretically. If you're taking bets (as I know SOME of you are) I'd totally bet against me being a lazy failure for another summer. I'm waiting to hear on a couple of jobs right now. And there's always that other opportunity... which I don't know if I would want to take anyway.

SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

Jeffrey Goines: There was this guy, and he was always requesting shows that had already played. Yes. No. You have to tell her before. He couldn't quite grasp the idea that the charge nurse couldn't make it be yesterday. She couldn't turn back time, thank you, Einstein! Now, *he* was nuts! *He* was a fruitcake, Jim!

You Can't Break Me Down, Temporal Causality

Today was, in fact, a very good day.

I started the day off franticaly piecing my in-depth article together at like 8 in the morning and finishing off some other work for my Public Affairs class. Upon going to that class at about midday and getting nothing but effusive praise from my professor, who has taught me for all three of my major newswriting classes. It was a good end to that class, especially when Joel said I was "living the life he always wished he could." I never thought anyone would WANT to be a jobless slacker living at home, but he sure put a positive spin on it. He also basically said that since he is going to be the opinion editor for the paper that I should submit some stuff because he needs good strong writers. So, yeah, it was a good day "career"-wise. I felt like I really mattered.

The rest of the day was essentially spent with friends which, other than witnessing a loud fight and trying to fade into the background because it was none of my business, was really great. Fucking around doing nothing, watching wrestling, watching JCW, chattering on about video games and whatever. It was all good.

Then I get home and my brother's girlfriend brings me all this cool Japanese shit back from Disney (owners of the world) World. It's all really great stuff, and there's this cool shuriken that I want to make into a necklace.

So a good day today...
but tomorrow is...
well it's tomorrow.

at least today was good...

The Children of Advantageousness



Just so you know, watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children in English ruled more than Adolf Hitler over Nazi Germany!!! To say that it was good is an understatement, it was GOD in movie form. Yes, I had previously seen the Japo version of the movie. It wasn't the same. I saw it like a week ago, but it's awesomeness still sticks with me.

I know I'm going to sound fanboyish, but I wish Sephiroth were real so he could destroy the world with his hate.


... it's May again.
