I saw Indiana Jones. For those of you who've liked the trilogy, you won't be dissapointed. I'd actually be glad to include this into the series making it a.... quadrilogy?? I don't fucking know. All I know is it's very classic Indiana Jones with almost amatuerish camera work, quick to the point acting and Dr. Jones going 'okay, I'm here, now who do I punch?'  No overdrawn character development, no crazy as shit technologies with the special effects.  A wholesome replica of 80's movie entertainment.

Yeah, hard.  That was bullshit, I just had three finals, 6 HOURS of finals today, and one more tomorrow that I need to get ready for tonight. On my 21st  birthday of all days.  I don't know what impulse brought me to do so, but after my second one, I just said 'fuck it, I'm getting a drink, 'cause I can and I deserve one'.    So I go over to our pub, sit down, and have a fucking beer.  That's right, I drank in between two of my finals.  I walked bright ass red back to my apartment to study.   And all I have to say is, it was a very satisfying Psych 7A final that I took while coming down from a buzz. I liked it a lot. Yay.

Oh my god, I thought I wouldn't be able to do it, but I'm done. My application to Japan Hitotsubashi Daigaku is done... after about 3 months of straight stress and deadlines it's all fucking done.  My head literally exploded last weekend from all the stress, I had a fever and couldn't feel shit except for this hugeass headache that drew me to delirium. Holy fuckcicles.

So after deciding that I need to give myself a life, I decided to start posting here and... everywhere else honestly.  Mostly to let people in on what's going on in my life, but also to keep myself in check, to make sure I'm having a life.  I feel a little more comfortable presenting myself to people now, which is also why I decided to start posting regularly.  There's been a lot of shit going down lately.

Big thing number 1: my job situation.  Ohhh fuck, my job situation... It's an epic tale of strength and sorrow that I'll tell later, although most of you already heard it.  Basically I quit Gamestop 'cause I couldn't stand working there, but ther're an assload of details that are involved. Ask me directly, the story's much more thrilling if heard.  Right now I'm working at an Edwards Cinema thanks to Maffew... but I'm not sure if I wanna stay there.  It's a lot of ucky labor, for little pay, I have to take my plugs out and I had to die my hair.  Fuck.  I hope Bert starts working regularly there soon, it'll be like old bitchin' times.  I applied at a Hot Topic at the same store, I hope for a callback soon.

A little btw for people that didn't know yet, I'm going to Japan in July. For a year.  Yuup bitches, outta this country for a year.  For everyone that's going or is in the country, it's ひとつばし大学, one of it's campuses along the east/west borders in the middle of Tokyo.  But I'm def gonna shinkansen it to Osaka to visit some friends.  It's been a crapload of work though, paperwork and predeparture shit that is. What doesn't scare me is all that stuff though, no, it's my ineptitude in speaking the language, despite being of heritage.  Actually it's that very fact why I feel like I fear the language more than my colleagues that're going.  It sounds stupid, but given my name and looks, everyone there's gonna think I'm just a regular student with a horrible lack of vocabulary and speech impediment.  I'm gonna have to tell every person I make eye contact with that I'm an abroad student.  This is all dwarfed in comparison to the amount of language I have to learn. Holy shit. I know about 200 characters right now, I need to increase that by 400 more before I leave.  For those that don't really know the language, that amount of characters is known as a shitload.

Alright, E*trade finally recognized the $1,500 bucks I put down on them.  And hopefully within a week, I'll be the proud owner of 20 shares of the Gamestop Co.  All this stock stuff seems so scary and daunting.  It's gambling like in Vegas, but a lot slower and with less hot chicks.

My mom called me, and told me this morning, over in Japan there was an earthquake, 6.6 or 6.8.  The epicenter was my hometown of Kashiwazaki.  It’s sad really, everything was destroyed.  The friend’s house we played famicon in, the street of our summer festival, my family grave of my mother’s side and the Shinto shrine that housed it where I went ohakamairi… all decimated.  My grandpa’s bookstore where we lived and visited back to time to time too, all wrecked.  I realize now, even though I wasn’t attached to it, it still pains me to know all that is gone.  The couple thousand refugees there are in much greater pain than I am, especially with the fear of the nearby nuclear reactor leak.  Everything’ll be rebuilt and working again, but for my hometown to lose all of it’s old charms, is a bit saddening.  I wanted to go back and visit everything again, but now it’s a bit too late.  But it still makes me think, I’m still grateful for living here in the states as much as I am living there and visiting for a few years of my life.  I at least won’t ever forget my childhood summers at homely Kashiwazaki.

Whoo, it's been like,  a week I know, but I still wanna post about it.

Jrock Festival was... well, awesome!  Although it took a big bite out of my wallet, 80 bucks or so, it was still well worth it I'd say.  Not so much for the crazy out of my mind rocking out I did, but because I could spend time with some friends. One friend in particular I spent the most time with, and it was everything I could ever ask for.  Just two friends chilling out, with nothing to say or do but enjoy time bonding together.  It was really nice. Thank you.

Other than that, at the festival... it was a bit hectic, didn't get to hang out with the other homies, didn't get to see them at all really due to a fairly large setback. But it was still good. Had a good hard metal neck for quite a while after the shows.  Rocked out hard to Vidoll, Merry and Kagrra.  Holy shit, once Chocoripeyes started up, I almost tore up the chairs in front of me.  Good, good times.

PS: I gots a Merry album and a Vidoll shirt!  Yay!

Some people, when they slip into deppression, a family member had died.  Or perhaps a friend.

Some people feel a sinking low from fighting with a friend, or even just missing a call on them.

Whatever case, its all the same.  We all feel this debilitating, demoralizing state one time or another.  It seems to be human nature, to feel comfort in sadness and vulnerability.  Drowned in the feeling of loneliness, anxiety, paranoia, helplesness....
Do I feel that way right now?

Yes, I do.


And why?....







I just watched Grindhouse.... what the fuck....

So, I'm a little stressed about work.

Either:

I might get fired.
All six of us at the store might get fired.
I might get promoted.

I'm very confused.

Yesterday was really fun. Well… mainly it was about work. But I got props from Danny(my manager)right when I entered the store from the other day. It’s good to hear my extra efforts are doing something. We don’t get any commission or anything, and we only get… not getting yelled at when we get good numbers by the higher ups, but a ‘good job’ once in a while is… relieving.

So after work, went to Danny’s place for some food, drinking, and watching a crapload of Starwars. So much fun, played video games, watched clone wars. It’s great to be able to hang out with your coworkers as friends, 'cause in the end, that's who they are.

Leaving the store’s gonna be hard I take it…

            I have to say, this week began really well. I’ve smiled, I talked, laughed, and did good at work. 3 subs and 5 reso’s in six hours. I think I’ve got my groove back.
            I’ve finally got myself back on track, back to where I can actually function correctly, with schoolwork, work, with other people. I’ve been able to think straight today, been able to talk and converse correctly with people, something I haven’t been able to do for the past couple weeks…
            I’ve let myself become overly self conscious during those weeks, second guessing myself wherever possible. So much, that it effectively demoralizes me from doing anything.  It makes sense to rethink your actions right? But… to do it to the extent that you’re going back and forth a billion times in your head whether to do something or not, or whether you should’ve done something or not over the course of hours, days or even weeks…
            I suppose after being exposed to so many different things, people and views of the world last year, breaking me out of my bubble, I realized the range of my own potential development. I could be one of a billion combination of traits that people could be, and the inability to make a decision of who to be paralyzed me. The only person you can be really, is yourself… but what does that mean?  I think it means you have to have a personality that comes most naturally and comfortably within you.  That personality is essential a part of your natural core, you can’t build it by taking parts of other people you like and making it your own, no matter how much you like them, doing so is… uncomfortable, I should know, I’m guilty of it.  Who you are is permanently fixed to you from the beginning, you can find it by relating yourself to how other people act, but you can’t become parts of them.
            And you can’t become a different person when surrounded by different people.  That means you’re modifying yourself to fit the environment around you. You start losing the ability to perform in either of those personas then.  It only makes sense for one body have one soul, one personality, your personality.
