[Jul. 23rd, 2008|12:52 pm] |
I woke up at 1 AM....and itis now 1 PM. After almost 12 straight hours I have finished reading all of HIKARU NO GO.
Goddamn. Very powerful ending.
Well, if I get dressed and leave for work now I won't be late!
Today is a day that I will be running on empty. :(
Peace. |

"In no time there will be makeup on our new set of cutlery.
The livestock is star struck.
They're all salivating like ravenous cartoons.
Goddamn animal."
First off, everytime I listen to Everytime i die, it reminds me of my LJ friend Adolfo who I have never had the opportunity to meet. I've read his journal for maybe 5 years now; I'm pretty sure I'll meet him someday.
"There's a pail by the bed if you need it (but you're doing just fine)."
I have a lot anime con stuff planns before 2008 comes to a close. In August there is a very good chance I'll be presenting a panel in Texas. And then in the months after that I might attend a convention in Rhode Island. We will see how it all unfolds.

There were mercy fucks, there was blood.
You should have been there by my side.
This is passion, this is red handed denial.
I have no lover and she hasn't the prettiest eyes." |

"Singing I miss you"
Well, I have been house-sitting my father's place for three weeks. In a few hours, I drive to LAX to pick him up. I was able to have a few cool events happen. Jacob was able to stay over here for a few days when he needed a place to stay, Danielle spent the night, Mike Russ, my sister and I all made vegan lasagna and the lovely Jo and her boyfriend Bradley were able to come over and sit around the dinner table and eat with us, finally tonight Mathias and Achilles came over and we watched a ridiculously complex but enjoyable Chinese/Finnish movie.
Achilles is getting married. I'm sure I've already mentioned that fact before, but it causes me to compare myself to him and I end up viewing myself in a negative light. How I am not even thinking about a girlfriend, how I don't care if I wear the same shirt for a week, or if I am unshaven, how my car and room are a mess, and how I can't even pay my bills...yet, my friends are competent enough to get married. My younger friends (Achilles, Justus, and Sonny) who are in the long term relationships really amaze me.
This time isn't wasted in vain...even tonight, I stayed up all night and listened to Bob Marley, Pink Floyd's first album, and The Devil wears Prada. I searched for new Anime, and made plans to try to fly out to Texas for Smile.dk's first American concert. FOCUS: AESTHETICS.
Signing out.

Goddamn.......the small things that hold me back. This whole week could be considered a loss.
Things like getting a smog check and car registration turn into week-long goals of just trying to save up money.
I'd like to travel. I'd like to visit my east coast friends. But, I am just nailed here; in this city.
I am not mature. I am underdeveloped. I don't really know what to do. |

Every once-in-a-while you get a super bad-ass Myspace friend request that really just blows your mind. This is mine:

Dear Teenagers.
Fucking a 40 year old does not elevate your status. It doesn't imply you're smarter than most people your age; nor does it imply you're more intellectual than most people your age.
The underlying reality is simple: an older established man using whatever resources he can to secure someone as young as he can.
It is a such an insult that calculated/predatory action and exploitations get overlooked because their victims think they're being liberated females.
Yeah right.
Males created the rules and flow for the sexual revolution. And it does not work in the woman's favor.
++++++++++
Anyway, I am back from Anime Expo. It is good to be back in a bed.
The highlight of the con was being able to meet and interview Yuffiebunny. |

| Aime Expo 2008: |
[Jul. 3rd, 2008|04:30 am] |
I am going to bed.
In four hours, I'll be driving up with awesome friends up toward Anime Expo.
I am completely unprepared.
Here goes to the idea of showing up! |

| Club Xile is fucking awesome. |
[Jul. 1st, 2008|03:12 am] |
So, I've been going to Club Xile lately. It is run by my friend Matt. About seven years ago, there would be just five of us in one dying San Diego goth club all too shy to dance...now, he has his own club with 200 pretty awesome people attending.
Last week they had a Prom Night Massacre. You dress up like it was prom, then you dress like you got massacred. Then you dance to Suicide Commando's "Bind, Torture, Kill" hahaha.
Anyway, eight years after my high school prom, here is a new prom photo! Many thanks to the lovely Priscilla who makes this picture ten times as beautiful as I ever could just being alone in it.

| Girls and acknowledgement: |
[Jun. 30th, 2008|03:09 am] |
Ever since I saw young, like ten years old, I had an interest in Anastasia. In my Elementary school we had a series of paranormal science books (Bigfoot, Lochness monster, UFOs, Bermuda Triangle, etc), I read all those books at a pretty young age. "Unsolved Mysteries" had an episode that i saved and watched many times over about Anna Anderson.
I would go so far as to say that I had a crush on her.
Even now, I am attracted to the idea of finding someone completely unacknowledged or fraudulent but that I nonetheless accepted.
But, these are just tired thoughts I am writing. I don't expect them to make much sense to anyone else but me.
Enough thoughts for now...it is 4AM, I am off to bed. |

This heat is fucking retarded.
I am so not used to it that I have been having trouble sleeping. WIthout anything to do on a saturday night, I ended up staying up all night and (for the past six hours) reading as much of Eyeshiel 21 as I could: I stopped at chapter 255, and the series is currently on like 285. So, I'll be able to catch up later.
I still have the goal, that I want to be able to read NAruto, Bleach, and One Piece as they are released weekly. But One Piece is just retardedly long.
Anyway, I am off to bed. (I am sleeping at the Acupuncture Clinic tonight--trying to conserve gas). Goodnight friends. |

"Take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
I don't mind you under my skin
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in
Well you're my favourite bird and when you sing
I really do wish you'd wear my ring" |

| The con is over: |
[Jun. 8th, 2008|06:45 pm] |
It was one of the smallest conventions I've been to (looked like 200 people total, but the claim is that they sold like 525 tickets).
Lots of drama. Made some cool friends though: Dylan from Nabraskacon, Matt who was kind enough to let me stay two nights at his place, and Ryan Showers an awesome hardcore kid who has a graphic novel.
The panel went amazingly well! Thanks go to Justin (Lucky) who was kind enough to co-host it with me.
I plan to meet up with them at NanDesuCon in Colorado later in the year, hopefully.
The prettiest cosplater was, hands-down, A.B.A. from guilty gear.
Anyway, my plane leaves in 24 hours. California, I have missed you, and I am coming back home! |

|
| Good Morning! |
[Jun. 6th, 2008|05:42 am] |
The shelter has lights out at 9 PM, and they wake everyone up at 5 AM! Wonderful!
I have six hours to kill before I need to go to the convention. So, it looks like another morning of exploring Nebraska!
Anyway, there is already some convention drama. (I'll write about it later)
Okay, I am off. |

| I will be speaking! |
[Jun. 5th, 2008|11:13 am] |
Correction: My panel is happening! Yayayaayaya! 3 PM, Sunday! Otaku Omaha!
"The Anime Industry and Piracy - A panel on how the digital age of torrents, scanlations and ever present piracy affects the industry and may or may not have its place even among the fan community. This will be a moderated open discussion on this exact topic. Please bring your opinions and viewpoints, everyone is welcome to contribute." |

| NINE REASONS WHY OMAHA IS TERRIBLE! |
[Jun. 5th, 2008|10:20 am] |
9) Fruits and Veggies are non existant. One employee thought cheese was a vegetable.
8) On the border to Iowa, it looks like a wartorn Vietnamese village. (trashed and deserted)
7) Racism is everywhere.
6) The weather went from hot and humid, to a total rainstorm with lightning and shit, and then to cold and super windy, all within 24 hours.
5) I've seen like ten people with missing eyes/eye patch.
4) The people are very unfriendly and xenophobic.
3) The only people with fashion sense are the prostitutes.
2) There is a "register to vote" booth set up oputside a smoke shop.
1) Everone here in the city is a smoker...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Needless to say, I will not EVER be coming back to this state. I mean, fuck, as if the shitty way they treat African-Americans here wasn't bad enough, there are no attractive or intelligent people out here--just drug addicts.
Last night at the shelter, someone pumped up on Meth or PCP, started screaming that he was going to get his gun and start shooting everyone--the police took like twenty minutes to show up, so some of the staff got him outside and locked him out.
Blah, blah, blah.
This is a good educational experience though! I stayed in my first homeless shelter! So, I am learning the ins-and-outs of how that works.
Tomorrow is the first day of the convention. Hopefully this goes well?
I was too late to get my own panel, so I am going to see if I could jump on someone else's panel and help them out? We will see how that works out.
LAter for now.

Dear Diary:
I am currently staying in a homeless shelter in Omaha Nebraska.
I have plans to attend Omaha Otaku over the weekend, and then I will fly back home on Monday. |

| Bo Didley died today. :( |
[Jun. 2nd, 2008|06:36 pm] |
I've got a story I really want to tell,
about Bo Diddley at the O.K. Corral
Now, Bo Diddley didn't stand no mess,
he wore a gun on his hip and a rose on his chest
Bo Diddley's a gunslinger
