Visitng the New Plot and Leaving a New Form

I'm back from visiting the new plot of land that my grandpa got back from the government and surprisingly enough it's located no less than a good half minute sprint away from the Sultan's new oil rig. I went with expecting to have a good time playing with my new knife while picking fruits from one of his orchards but it seems that my little sister misconstrued what my mom said and had in turn misinformed about what we would be doing there.

Old Knife

Came with a sheath

Sigh... I really wanted to see how much more easily I could branches and fruits ala Zantetsuken with this one. And yes, with a fruit knife. I can go all Ryogi Shiki on your ass with a mere fruit knife. My Kendo training has engraved in me a key understanding in how to properly deliver a cut and slice through the head, wrist and bellies of my imaginary enemy. I've simply applied what I learned from that to fruit knives. Hopefully I'll get to try it out with an actual combat knife and a Katana in the future.

New knife. Also a fruit knife but no sheath.

A very nice fruit knife...

At any rate, it's a lot easier to slice through things than my old one but I really wanted to see how much farther I could take it in terms of severing organic material. Oh well. Hopefully I'll find an opportunity to try it out sometime soon. Here's a pic of a spot near the land. It was a picture perfect kind of scene but the camera we brought wouldn't let us take pictures because the battery was too low. And no, it's not what you think. I mean the camera wouldn't let us take pictures even though it was still on. What the hell were were the designers thinking when they put that function in? That's why all you get of the scene is this low quality pic from my phone.

It was B-E-A-Utiful

P.s. That leaving a new form bit in the title refers to the new contact form I left on my profile page. If you want to reach me privately, just go to my About Me page.

Hardcore Poke’mon Pics from /b/

A few days ago a random member of Anon came up with the brilliant idea of requesting hardcore Poke’mon pics in /b/. This piqued my interest as we all inherently understand that real life versions of these cute little mons would be serious threats to human lives. I also understood that this being /b/ someone would definitely take a shot at it with the more depraved interpretation of the word ‘Hardcore’ but fortunately for me no one rose up to that possibility while I was raiding the thread for awesome pictures hence nothing for me that I would wish to unsee. There may have been a new popo meme that got started but who knows if it’ll take off elsewhere.

Sadly, the thread is most likely gone by now as threads in 4chan are deleted if they aren’t bumped often enough so I have taken up the duty that non-/b/tards get the chance to see these awesome pics. Bear in mind that some of these pictures also have some traces of nightmare fuel in them so I’d rate this post to be at least PG-13 so kids, BEWARE.

Eden of the East FULL OP

Eden of the East is a new 11 episode anime series that premiered almost 3 months ago as one of the new shows for the Spring 2009 anime season and will have two movie sequels to continue the story. It's animated by production I.G. and is directed and created by the guy who directed Ghost in the Shell and Blood the Last vampire. For those who don't know what that is, just know that they are great anime movies.

The series is broadcasted during the Noitamina broadcast block of Fuji which exists to make anime more mainstream in Japan. What do I mean by making anime more mainstream? Despite what many people think about anime and Japan, not everyone in Japan is into anime and the percentage those who do are about the same as with other countries. It is a common misconception made by most of the people who are aware of anime mainly because of how anime overshadows pretty much everything else japan is known for. Just because it came from Japan doesn't mean everyone over there likes it. However, it is getting more and more mainstream thanks to their otaku prime minister, comrade Taro Aso!

Anyways, back to Eden of the east. The main character is about a man called Takizawa Akira who has lost his memories and has a mysterious phone that contains roughly 82 Million US dollars charged into it. The phone is part of system of 12 people selected to save Japan callled the Selecao. These 12 people can ask for ANY task to be completed through their phones for a fee based on the difficulty of the task. Incidentally it'll cost less than 50 US cents to get the prime minister to say "Gyahun" or "Uncle" on television while about and about US$ 15,000 to have three people killed. Each of them is given US$100 Million to start with. The story is filled with a lot mysteries regarding the Selecao system, the Selecao and Takizawa Akira's true identity that slowly unfolds as the story progresses.

The opening song is Falling Down performed by Oasis. Yes, I do mean that british rock group Oasis. Sometimes western groups do have their songs used as anime opening and ending sequences. It is rare but it does happen. When I watched the opening for the first time I thought that the animation sequence and the song fit very well with a mystery series. As the series progresses you tend to notice the little hints that were put into the opening sequence to indicate how the story will turn out for the series. Aside from the original album that "Falling Down" was released in the band also released another album in japan containing the song with 3 other versions of the same song and another called "Those Swollen Hand Blues" in japan as the series' OP album. Also, the studio that's animating the series has also made an alternate Animated Music Video for the song and I find it to be so much cooler than the original video. Obviously it's best enjoyed in High Quality and Full Screen mode.

I personally find this series to be the best one of the current season. With the great build up, the amazing ideas and how they are used in the story, I can't but help think that this will most likely get a live movie adaptation. I am certain that by the end of the story, I will say that it is the best mystery story I've ever experienced. Unfortunately though, the last episode was broadcasted yesterday so we don't get to find out what happens next until November when Eden of the East I: King of the East premiers. Then we'll have to wait till January for Eden of the East II: Paradise Lost to see how the story will all end.

NEC have made this awesome phone. Unfortunately it is locked to a specific provider there. Hopefully a hacked version of the phone will become available overseas.

P.s. It does not come with the 10 Billion Yen you want it to.

That really happens to me a lot when I talk to girls.

There is a reason why he is naked. There should also be a reason why 9000 NEETs were naked on a cargo ship in the 10th episode. Still don't know what that is though.

Great phrase. DID NOT know it was from the bible until I read something on a forum.
