  • Oh... let's see 57 hours of work. I suppose all things considered it's really not that bad I mean... Other company's it's like this every week? At any rate, It means I get like 2 days of vacation coming up... sometime... one day... maybe :P So let me ask you this, when you're working overtime... does it make sense to you to be doing it? I look around me right now and generally the people... even though tired are happy to be here. They're happy because there's a certain level of personal pride in what they're working on. But is that the case wherever you work? Is there a sense of personal stake within a project? Do you feel that what you do contributes to the grand scheme of things?

    A lot of the time it's hard to quantify your usefulness when your working. I mean you have a certain set of task given to you. You complete them and then you get more and well... rinse and repeat. Maybe it's just a point of view... or the substitution of reality with one of your own.

    If you believe you're important, maybe you are? Meh... Doesn't matter... my only wish right now is not to come in on the weekend.

    Oh in other news... those of you suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome should check out the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. It's made my life a billion time less painful since my wrist no longer need to be cracked every like 10 mins. A bit hefty on price though.

  • Hey Guys!
    No no... don't worry I haven't been forced into Yakuza life nor have I become a J-Pop star or become a voice actor. Yes, I was sick for a bid... lovely sore throat and fever hit me like a ton of bricks but I am much better now.

    Hotel is nice albeit very small... however it's all good since the shower head is about as high tech as the toilet seat. Those of you who have been to Japan will know toilet seats mark the pinnacle of Japanese technology.

    I must say I really like Tokyo for all it's millions upon millions of people, everyone is still polite and kind. Two things I appreciate and respect. Anyways, it's crazy humid... kinda like if you put a pool into a volcano and then compressed the steam into a small altoids can.

    Transportation system is heaven... I've become enraged by the prospect of waiting more than 5 minutes for a metro or train. Who could live in a society where you have to wait for things??!? I mean come on... I want to walk from one platform to another and immediately catch my train.

    Oh... and Ramen... glorious... wonderful... soul-warming... life-giving... Ramen... I ate Tonkotsu Ramen today. I will remember it forever... all other ramen I've ever eaten is now likened to stool produced by a retarted chef boyardi. Yes... Tokotsu Ramen is THAT good.

    That's all for now.

    I love you all! Some more than others... I'll let you people figure out who's who!

  • Can't Sleep.

    1 Year... doesn't seem so long yet I hold my breath thinking of the changes that have come to be. There are two days in my life I always remember. Today is one of them. You know, it's incredible but I still miss you. I walk home sometimes wondering what exactly you'd say to me if you knew what was going on. Some snide remark or witty comment, perhaps some thoughtful psycho-babel. I welcomed it regardless. Things have changed, others haven't.

    I wonder if you've met her? I think you two would get along. She meant a lot to me... just as much as you did. Two people who ushered me into a different life... two people who meant the world to me. They say they always take the good ones... I guess it's true.

    I said to my friend today, "I think he'd be happy with the way things turned out." I truly hope you are happy wherever you are.

    It's not easy...

  • Ignorance eventually catches up to you...
    Sometimes the grass isn't as green as you think it is.
    Sometimes things aren't going as they seem to be.

    Sometimes... you aren't the person you wanted to be...
