  • Your Personality Is
    Rational (NT)

    You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
    You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!

    Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
    In fact, you’re often a little short with people who don’t impress you mentally.

    You seem distant to some – but it’s usually because you’re deep in thought.
    Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.

    In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate – who is also very intelligent.

    At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers – like programming, medicine, or academia.

    With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can’t take your criticism well.

    As far as your looks go, you’re coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.

    On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.

  • OMFG!!!!!!!

    ^_^

    Lots of thing have been happening lately

    Graduated and got 2 more degreese so now i have Graphic Design, Animation, and Interactive Interfaces

    Got to see Trans Siberian Orchestra which was really cool

    Went on a Cruse to the Carribean (ill have to post pics later, theres over 1k picks and there over 1gig of space so I’ll have to jsut pick a few to post)

    Started playing wow as a Dreanai (Crimsonberry) on trollbane.

    But most recently I got to see Dir en Grey both Monday in Baltimore and Tuesday in Phily last night. They just started when I was in highschool and back then I never woudl have imagined having the chance to see them live without traveling to Japan. Last night I figured I might as well order the presale for there next album and fye had a little rafel thing where 10 people that night would be able to get to meet the band. I picked a random flyer and when i turned it over it had the sticker with a star ^_^. So after the show  Shinya, Toshiya, Kaoru and Die came out to meet all of us. Unfortunately Kyo Was too tired from bleeding on stage so we didnt get to meet him ^^; but I got everyone elses autograph. And los of people liked my red coat ^_^  It was definately worth waiting for 2 hours in 8 degree weather but hopefully the next concert I go to will be in the spring/summer.

  • Lucky 7s

    7am news alreated me the ps3 s having preorders, i was the 7th in a line of 16, and the release is III7. GB games called and said even with the cutbacks i am still guarenteed a system today. now all thats left is to wait for the store to open and let the chaos begin. The lines of people camping out for the launch day are insane, camping out in one of the wettest weeks weve had in a while. i wonder how they go to the bathroom since they will proably not want to loose there place in line. some of them have been there since before monday…. i drove by a best buy and the people for one fo the stores were jsut playign football in the parking lot. all these people enduring so much for a chance that still isnt guarenteed to them. Its insane the amount of determination some humans have. But with all that said and done. I am one Lucky son of a bitch and I know it.

    Lots of things seem to be going well lately for me. School is doing greaqt apearently and will hopefully soon be at an end. My car hasnt had any major problems in a while. im the 2007 World heavyweight Champion again. and all frustrations seem to just be minor inconviences. The only problem is when things keep goin good somethign always has to hapen to balance out the universe.  But for now things are good.

    This weekend is going to be ultra busy.
    Friday, go to game store to pick up 3. ASC Meeting, Foot Ball Practice. Get a propane tank for the fryer, and soem rice for saturday. Go to best buy to use up cupons for the weekend. Then back to sis house to meet for keith congradulations dinner. Then come to precook pork for tailgating. saturday drive to George Mason. set up equipment, Play in tournament. cook for halftime. play somemore. rest. Allans Bday at todai. come back to home. then sunday work on flyer for harvest ball to destribute monday morning. somemore events, corections for japanese papers and then read somemore of my 1502 page book for chinese class. And hopefully all thsi work will payoff in the end and it wouldnt hurt to leave my last turkeybowl the same way we started my first, with UMBC as champions again.

    Live to Win,
    Till you Die

  • Drift eh?

    Sooooo…. I was at superfresh the other night and this stock boy, (well Middle Aged Extremely Tall African American Stock person who was pretty friggin built, the kind that moves pallets arround and such.) asked me  “are you from Tokyo” 

    I could have said “No, not all asian people are from tokyo, in fact there are plenty of asian people who are from the US of A….”

    But of course i Nodded and said “Yes”

    then the guys eyes lit up all brightly and he said” OMG Dude!!!!,Do they really do that?”

    Of course at this point i think hes a little off cause he did specify what Quote^that^end Quote was so i just stood there silent and he continued to tower over me and responded with.

    ” Do they really drift there?”

    This is the only part I told any bit of truth. “Oh Yes, every night past Midnight.”

    he quickly responded “For REALZ!!!!!! Dude I just saw the movie last night and it was like Whoa!!!! DUDE do you drift?”

    of course i sad “No” with a big grin on my face hoping he will go away or at least back to work.

    He quickly responded all happily “Oh okay that COOL, Ill let you get back to your grocery shopping, See Ya!!!” and he wadeled back to the pallet of frozen foods and went back to work.

    and then i finished shopping on the other side of the supermarket.

    The End

    the operation went verry well despite the ear infection.
    i waited for the ear antibiotice to be finished before starting the antibiotice the dental surgeon gave me whihc had a very very bad alergic reaction. so my body was coverd in extreamly itchy hives like i took a bath in  a field of poison ivy/oak. so even thouhg my ears hurt considerably less, I had to deal wiht the aching holes left in my mouth and buring all over.
    Today is the second day off the heavy medication but I have a check up wiht the surgeon to see how my mouth is healing, most of hte stiches desolved yesterday so thats good. I mis eating hot temperature, spicy, crunchy foods. everythign so far has been mashed this or pureed that, or squishy this. Sis said that i should be able to start eating harder things next week and maybe some mildy spicy stuff, but if you ever had my death in a box hotwings at a social you know how much i love hot stuff. cant even use wasabi in my soysauce ;_;
    My main meals have been consisting of mashes/smashed potatoes…. and then recently udon since the noodles are big and squishy. Ive been adding shrimp balls, tofu, sliced red fish cake and mushrooms to the soup while it cooks for flavor and there also soft after boiling for a long time. then a dash of powderd and shreaded seaweed for flavor/color. and i bought a bunch of orion snack cakes strawberry/tiramisu/custard and put them in a large bin over my water dispenser. They woudl go very good with a iced milk coffe or tea…. but im not allowed to drink anythign remotely caffinated anyway…. surgery/sickness/dying sux. ><

    Classes started today for most people, ive never had classes opening day  at UMBC….. ever….. so weird. but this semester i have to go to class on tuesday =( but then i have a break on wednesday ^_^ but then i have to go to class again on thursday =( but then i have a 4 day weekend ^_^ and since my class ends around 5 on thursday and doest start till 1, its almost like i have a 5 day weekend. Maybe I should travel, Or spend the time to fix things arround the houses, or try a new/old hobby, like get a job as a highly paid assasin. Then again we just got dead rising for 360 so bro is comming over on the weekend for some zombie slautering action….. Oh well, lets let the future decide for it self.

    Ryuji From Namco X Capcom

    I didnt
    get to take many pics at all. i did ge a video ill post up later of
    jordan dressesd as a ninja running through the halls of the hotel.

    And now I have to wait 6 months for the next con =(

     
    *——————————————————————
     
    Crimson Death*
     
    —————————————————————–
    So when *i was in the 3rd grade, way before i moved to
    MD, before I was reconstructed of metal, Way before I realized me and
    my sister were the only asians in our school/ town growing up in ohio.
    I missed school. for 2 weeks. (The only other time I didnt have perfect
    attendance was for my grandma connie and Granpa Catalino’s 50th
    aniversary) I somehow got a vile ear infection in both ears. I could
    barely hear anything for weeks and the insides of my ears were litterly
    *blood red. Preasure points arround my head felt like they were water
    baloons overflowing with liquid begging to pop. and the pain kept me
    from the simplest of movements including arm and leg control till the
    pain overcompassed my whole body. opening my eyes to see a world with
    only the sound of pain pulsing through my body. when you scream at the
    top of your lungs and cant hear a single note of it……. it just
    scares the shit out of you. since the ears are conected to ballance its
    easy* to to spend the hours that your not confined to bed crawing with
    every last breath to the toilet to vomit wat little food you were able
    to consume just moments before. Even with medications the virus takes 2
    weeks to die, and till it dies it just get more and more painful till
    it consumes every last bit of feable humanity. Pain killers are
    compleastely useless in any dosage and at that age it was extremely
    serious healh risk 
     
    Monday…. I woke up and my left
    ear sounded clogged. it was a little irratated. I thoguht noghtitng of
    it till i tried to blow my nose. My ear temple and presurepoint behind
    the ear at the base of the neck felt like they were going to explode. I
    took* some nyquil, Hoping it was nothing,* tuseday I woke up and i
    could bartely hear anything in my left ear. and the pain got worse.
    increasingly worse. in *the mornign i tried 400mg of ibuprofin, the
    normal dosage i take for my leg wh*en it hurts…. it did nothing. in
    the after noon i took one 500mg extra strength tylenol cold and flu,
    again wiht no results, and then later tried some antihistamines and **
    extra strenth non asprin pain killers, all un effective.* So wednesday*
    i finally get a chance to go to the clinic at school. because i thought
    i have health insurance there. When i got to the desk, they said it
    expired tuesday. The lady asked if i wanted to comback later when i get
    new insurance but i said id like to just pay out of pocket.*
     
    —— side note.* In the past 5
    years Ive had health insurance from the government, My work, and the
    school. So far the most useful was the military one which was acepted
    everywhere and basically free. Work was second but only worked half the
    time and forced me to take extra eye apointments that they did not pay
    for anddental restrictions with apointments i week before the insurance
    was willing to pay for things. THE LEASE HELPFULL WAS THE SCHOOL PLAN*,
    it was accepted NOWHERE for NOTHING, Everythign was* OUT OF POCKET and
    sicne i did have insurance theres not self pay discount. $5000+ spent
    on insurance $978 spent out of pocket reguardless of having the
    “insurance”. soooo if i didnt have the health insurance and jsut payed
    out of pocket I woudl have $4000+ Literally set aside to use on myself
    for medical emergiencies and what not. End side note———–
    *
    Paying out of pocket at the
    school, REDUCED the normal check up free of $75 to $55 for non insured
    patient plus an additional discount for se*lf pay making the visit cost
    $35.  then 3 medications at $21+ each came to $91.25 which is jsut
    tacked on to your student account at the end of the semester. Orrrrr I
    c*ould have spent another $900 on the health plan which reduces the $75
    fee to $10,* and doesnt cover perscription costs. * so with insurance i
    woudl have had to pay* $966.25.*** * Using my brain right now is
    hurting alot ;_; *** and thats one of the muscles i like to use the
    most ;_;***
     
    So on with the story. The doctor
    looked in my left ear and saw red. Bright BLOOD RED… Its the same
    infection from when i was little. and it jsut started. I have to take
    both medications 4 times a day.* Pain Killers are useless* Usually its
    my leg that hurts to much to let me do anything but this is a hell of
    alot more painfull. and its jsut starteing. I still have possible*
    Large episodes of projectile vomiting,  and THE ever so FUN internal
    bleeding. and every time i try to * blow my nose my head will try to
    explode. SO I have hopefully* only 2 more weeks of this. each day will
    get more and more painful, and will always hurt like a bitch. To be
    honest alot of the time im jut sitting down somewere isnt because im
    lazy or dont want to move. its because the pain in my knee and leg wont
    let me move. the good thing is the pain in my head right now * greatly
    allows me to ignore my leg.
     
    Right now im trying to get as much
    stuff done and be as active as possible before the pain has a chance to
    get to me. The good thing is im alot older now, and its only one ear
    thats messed up. but*… well to put it simple… everytime theres a
    star”*” in my entry I had to stop cause it hurts.  It hurts too much to
    stay still and rest. but i can still do my chores. only have to do them
    for a couple more days. but ny wednesday ill be bed ridden for sure. *
    cause i will also be gettign all 4 wisdom teeth ripped out. hopefully
    the medications they give me for that will still work and not interfere
    wiht the ear medications. ** I should stock up on icecream. and soft
    foods.
     
     ———————
    Books
    ———————
     
    Buy and sell books online, not
    from the bookstore. my next semesters books cost me 5.75 after
    shipping. at the book store used is $28 new its $36. and alot of my
    books from last semester are already updated wiht new revisions so
    there useless at the school,,, *and actually, alot of the old clases i
    took when i first came here no longer exist sooo they didnt want to buy
    those books either…….  =( aside from a couple 20 dollar books, most
    they accepted were worth $1-$3 making my total cash for books $59.50
    woo freaking hooo. … So if anyone is taking arecheology 1or2, or art
    history 1 or 2 and needs the books i have them ^^.***
     
     
     
     
     
    Recap
    Otakon fun
    Im Dying
    Lotsa crap to finish
    Then school Starts
    Im getting old fast

    Cals comming over next week to work on pistahan 2004-2006 DvDs.

    In the mean time I revamped the 3d video parts ad submitted them as my final for Advanced  3d Character Design.
    I got an A for the class and the rest of my classes I got Bz… But its good cause it means i have 2 classes next semester and I’m gone ^_^
    Well. I’ll vist and stuff but I wont have to be at UMBC manditorily. not that I wont miss being a student leader, but its time to head out of here and put my giant robot pilot training to good use.

    I bought a bunch of 360 games and some ps2 games but I’ve barely touched them because of Maplestory.
    I created The 3rd branch og the guild over the weekend, SOOOOOO if you play Maplestory on Maple Global’s Bera Server Were recuiting ^_^. Look for me in game, I usually am on either Raspbrrry (3rs in Raspbrrry) or vLewtifuijoe (VlewtifuIJoe the videogame character) so just send me a tell, or leave a meassage if my shop is open.
    www.mapleglobal.com if you want to download the game and start playing on the bera server, Its free to download and play forever!!!!!!!! and its lots of time consuming fun for everyone. So much fun I made a short little web comic of my character im posting under this sentence.

    Going to the carnival on friday and seeign tokydrift friday night. The first movie about “drifting” as if the 9 movie series freeway speedway centerd on the skyline gtr and japans drift king never ever existed. And well the live action Initial D movie which was BS and fulled Butchered ><. But yea I tate their claims lightly. There funny cause there blasphemous. I wanted to make a Public Service Anouncement called “saftey drive” and have someone dressed as an police offcer pointing at the camera smiling saying “If your not in control,…. Your out of control….”

    My uncle bought a lot of 1 dollar dvds from walmart and gave them to me…. theres a reason there $1….
    There this one called “Thunder Prince” its an old fashioned kung fu revenge my fathers death, who was a master of a deadly martial artstype movie but it was animated in a style that pre dated speed racer and the little boys voice actor was some british lady and still uses the brith ladys voice when he grows up and becomes the thunder prince.   Among there dvds theres also the Sky Surfer dvds, I rember in the early 90s when this show aired on tv and they had the toys in the Long John Silver’s kids meals. The vwhole series is here…. in the form of 2 90 minute $1 dvds…..
    So yeah I’ve just been downloading movies and vides to watch instead.

    Dont have much else to talk about for now but I would like to film a couple of last comercials/vids for either dvd extras or just for the hell of it.
    Things arent that bad at all right now, can always be better or worse but yeah its on the up and up.
