If you're wondering where a few days of ramblings went, I've thrown them into the Ver.6 Archives section. In an attempt to a) save bandwidth and b) save loading times I've decided to archive things more frequently. I hope this doesn't put anyone out. If anything, this should a good thing.
You might remember me mumbling something a couple days about some music from Jet Set Radio Future. I did a futher search on one of the artists over at MP3.com, known to the world as GUITAR VADER! And as it turns out, they provided a couple of songs for the original Jet Set Radio as well. So if you're a fan of the original, and you liked the music from it you should go download some free MP3s. This I thought was an interesting description of them:
Take the Smashing Pumpkins, Talking Heads and early B-52s, mash them together and make the result Japanese and you may end up with something approaching the genius of Guitar Vader. Formed by Miki (vocals and guitar) and Ujuan (vocals and bass), Guitar Vader is the best thing to come out of Japan in recent years....
That is a pretty acurate description of them--strange, I know. You'll have something like 36 songs to choose from, so take your pick. Might I suggest, "I love love you," "Magical Girl," and "Super Brothers."
After listening to these Jet Set tunes, it makes me crave JSRF that much more. Damn self torture.

Enforcer sent me a link to another net-quiz today, and is available at ALLLOOKSAME.com. It's a test to determine your ability to differenciate between Japanese, Chinese, and Korean ethnicities. You're presented with 18 mug shots to test your skills. Now, I have a softspot for asian women, so I figured as a conoseur(sp) I wouldn't have a problem with this one. Boy was I wrong. Out of the 18, I got four right. PedX got five right, and Enforcer managed to get eight right. The average score on this test was seven correct. I felt defeated and ashamed at my poor score. I need a dozen Asian women to come and show me the all the differences I need to know. :)
I wrote my first ANIME review tonight. Click on the link from the menu to read it.
It's weekend time boys and girls. Do you know what that means? It means absolutely nothing. But in any case, enjoy it for it is only two days long.

Sorry 'yo. I got nothin' except yet another net-quiz. *gasp* ^^;;
You seem to be a little depressed at times, and tend to be sarcastic, but all you really want is some love. You also seem to have trouble in believing in yourself despite how good everyone tells you you are, I mean come on, you're the artist of Megatokyo
Which webcartoonist Are You?

Holy shit, she's back! \/\/007!
Yes friends, Janet is back to work at my local Tim Horton's. I gotsta tell ya that this is freakin' awesome! Janet r0x0r's Tim Hortons. She ownz that place man. Seriously though, I am truly excited about this. That place simply hasn't been the same without her there. Both PedX and I were ecstatic when we saw her behind the counter. All is right in the world once again. Welcome back Janet. I really, really mean that.
I was over at TEAMXBOX.com today and they had links to some of the songs being used for Jet Set Radio Future. If you like the style of music, they're pretty good. Go check 'em out if you have a chance. The hippin' and the hoppin', and the bippin' and a boppin'.
It's quite funny, the kind of looks I get when people find out I haven't "gotten any" in just over three years. Looks of pitty, amusement and shock all at the same time. This is usually followed by an "are you serious?" Think about that for a minute. Three years without sex--and I'm getting these kinds of reactions. What does that tell you about the importance of sexual relations in our culture. Important enough, to deserve people's pitty for the lack of action--but not enough for sympathy sex. Not saying I would take sympathy sex, because believe me if you want, I don't think I'd take it. I'd rather be conquered than getting s3x0r3d with someone who has no interest in me. I am an island. Claim me in the name of your country!

I've decided what I hate most about life. The thing I hate most about life is waking up in the morning. Especially since I never wake up feeling refreshed or rejouvenated. NO matter how much, or how little sleep I get I always wake up with the same feeling of a dead man walking. What a way to start your day everyday eh? Nuthin' like waking up in the morning and wishing you were dead every day--just because you hate the way you feel when you wake up in the morning. What's better, is that I have probably another fifty years of this feeling. It's almost enough to kill yourself knowing this fact. Now that I've spread my joy to the world, I think I'll go to bed so I can go though it all again tomorrow. Yay life!

Right now, I'm listening to some conversational Japanese, in an attempt to actually learn the language....[5 minutes later]...yeah, that had to stop. It's hard to learn and type at the same time. Especially since that was my first time listening to the CD. Warning to anyone who's going to be in my Jeep with me for the next little while. Chances are when you get in, you're going to hear this CD going. I'm actually going to take a strive to learn the language. No bullshit. Right now, I have the phrase "Excuse me, do you speak english," running through my head in japanese. Sam e masen. Ego-ga karimas ka? I think it would be pretty funny to put a tape recorder into the car and listen to me try and learn the language.
I was actually doing some "apartment searching" today for residency in Japan. I saw a three bedroom apartment, fully furnished, for something like 125,000¥ a month. That's about $1500 Canadian dollars. Man, it's almost like living in Toronto. You'd be looking for about that same price. I have friends in Brampton that are paying close to that for their three bedroom--and may I re-emphasize that that's in Brampton. Not Toronto. Ugh. It's not a wonder I left eh? Then again, they do have a really nice apartment. One might say, that it kicks ass? Anyway, I figure if I actually take time to learn the language, I'd be more gung-ho about getting my ass over there before it's too late.
When I was at CHAPTERS picking up the educational materials I think I interested the clerk. She looked at what I had purchased, asked the obvious "Are you learning Japanese" conversation starter, then started talking about going there, the cost of living, how she was supposed to go on an exchange there but didn't, yadda yadda yadda. It was all good. It made me feel good too. It's amazing how small talk can instigate a bit of happiness. It's almost like Chicken Soup for the Soul. hehehehe. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anywho, I went on my merry way and came home. Not making a move, or hinting anything. Why? Becacuse trying is the first step towards failure. At least for me in that game. Anywho, back to learning curve folks.

I've taken quite a few internet "quizzes" in my lifetime. Most have been rather funny, or cute in some way, but none I'd say have been really all that acurate. A few of my 'peeps' have taken the
EMPIRE RECORDS test that I took earlier on today, and the results have been rather surprising--and precise. What makes this more frightening, is the fact that with test, it could be argued that all of us that took the test can actually be put into a character archetype. That sucks. Oh well, I guess kind of like works of fiction, there's only so many stories can be told--for people and books. Hi, I'm the Rich. And I fit into a character mold. Thank you.
Speaking of my friends, PedX was talking to COOKIE from Unlovely.net today, and she gave the new layout a passing grade. It got the "Cookie Stamp of Approval." She also said I was sexy. That makes two people I know that think I'm sexy--w007! The numbers are improving! Maybe I will get laid again. ^_^
I was watching a couple of movies today (in between some Batman: Vengance), and I started pondering something. I wondered how many people have commited suicide because they watched a movie. It's kind of like music. "Do they listen to pop music because they're depressed? Or are they depressed because they listen to pop music?" Think about that one. I know that both music and movies have strongly altered my state of happiness by ignighting one thought pattern or another. Hell, even after watching Empire Records tonight, I actually felt a little down--and that's a happy movie. Media is a very powerful thing you know. Don't knock the power it yeilds. You hear people cutting up Britney Spears and the boy bands. But look at what all the "cool kids" are wearing. You could go to any one of them and ask "Hey, didn't I see you in a music video?" It all effects us more than you think. Hell, this web page is a good example. It has a CAM PORTAL, Net quizzes, bl0gs, and the various forms of internet communication for people to get a hold of me. Do you think I'd have any of these things (except the blog) if I wasn't effected by popular internet culture? Hmmmm. Talk about your cookie cutter Batman.
This was free thought at it's best people.
