This week was the LONGEST week of my life... Intro to the Year in review, eh

And although I didn't 'double of last year's' whatever (and I do hope
she elaborates upon it... I'm sure she doubled her last year's income,
contacts/clients... those are my guesses), I could of, as Numfar put it, I did have a relatively good year. And of course not to slight the still ever amusing and witty 17A. I have still yet to go on said: Anti-date... eventually I will.

As you all know, and here is a year in review... a rough year in
retrospective-analysis filled with, charts, graphs and diarama's... oh
yes, the diarama's will be flowing. I might have time for a musical
introduction, and eventhough the cast only has a few members in it, I
shall make sure that 400 people are in the opening act.

Or I'll just make a sandwich... who knows.

So. I have come to Blarg, Blarg, Honk about my year this year.

Dis Company or Dat Company? Forgetdaboutit

The drama that was Company #whatever pasted on in February, oh so long
ago, and I was hired by Company #5. Things are still well here, as the
year wound down, the work became less and less and the playing of WoW
became more and more to the point that I now have a Rogue, named Aikida
(and if someone could get me the translation of this name I am
curious... I'm thinking Daemon but I could be incorrect).

It got to the point that I have resumed my 40 - 60 hours a week of WoW
as when I first started playing it with no job... it's kind of sad
really. But I degress.

Class Days, no class nights...

JJ class, I feel I have been missing out on the constant battles every
week, the comradery and the ability to push oneself to newer levels of
pain and success. This week on days, week on nights is a killer,
socially and physically. I have heard tales that there will be another
seminar in NS in February... but these have yet to be confirmed...
Although it would be kick-ass if I could see N again.

We have been chatting constantly since meeting her two years ago was
it? I mean it is rare that you can meet someone that you have never
meet and in the middle of being choked out, strike up a conversation on
music... Good times, indeed. I have been enjoying it all too much
She truly brightens my days and nights. Plus her humour is wickedly
evilish and always funny Oh, the world would be painted red if we
ever got to spend a few days together having a blast as I know we would.

ADHD and ... what was I going on about?

You may think that I have ADHD and that I'm jumping all over the place,
but bare with me, I have many things that just pop into my head and as
my Algebra teacher used to say, "Not to go off on a tangent..." but,
it's just the way I've always done things.

I haven't seen that many movies this year as opposed to last year...
Kind of disappointing, but what can you do? There honestly haven't been
that many great films this year.

Anime Fantabulous

Anime has always been a love of mine, from my first experiences with
Dragonball and Dragonball Z, thinking that it was just cartoons. I was
greatly mistaken when I started to look into it. Since then I have been
constantly grabbing and watching all the anime that I can.

This year alone, I have DL'd and seen: Full Metal Alchemist (51
Episodes), Rorouni Kenshin (95 episodes), Trinity Blood (24 Episodes...
Apparently this ran for 4 years...), Samurai Champloo (complete series)
and those are just for starters... Honestly I don't know what draws me
too them... Probably the style of artistry, the action and the fact
that it isn't like a typical Warner Bros. Cartoon. Mind you I grew up
with those as well.

DVD's I think I've purchased more DVD's this year than I have all other
years combined... But recently I have been cutting back alot, and alot
of DVD's have remained in stores because of the old addage: "Do I need
this or Do I want this?"

Dad and his travels

My father is going away yet again for vacation... Lucky bugger. Two
years ago, it was New Zealand. Last year, it was Egypt. This year, it
is Austrailia. The pictures he has taken are hanging up around his
apartment and are rather nice. This year, I decided to buy him a
DVD/VHS combo player for Christmas. I'm sure he could get it for
himself, but this will be easier anyhow.

Webcomics, who said no one ever reads online these days...

I read Fourty-One webcomics everyday or every other day depending on the comic schedule. That's right 41... At least I can say that I give myself a break during the day.
The quicklist is on the left side of the website... But I've added a few more to that:

Ctrl+Alt+Delete Online (N loves this one we talk about it daily, goooo Zeke!)
Penny Arcade
PVPOnline
MegaTokyo
Falcon Twin
Reallife Comics
The noob
The Seraph Inn
Earthsong
Flipside Comics
Misfile
Aikida (yes its my Rogue and a webcomic, I'll post a picture sometime)
Shaw Island
Dungeon Crawl
Sokora Refugees
The Wotch

These are just to name a few. If you have time or want to read them whenever, please be my guest

Misc. Topics of interest or of note or of spacefiller.
- In Sports, the Detroit Tigers sucked, the Lions are hopelessly inept,
the Pistons are crusing for another Championship, the Red Wings are
doing swell as usual.
- Red vs. Blue is almost done Season 4. If you still haven't seen it, get to DL'ing it. It's free, you can't beat that.

Quote of the Day:
Been a long, long time for sure...

Sensei: "Vx. quit looking at the mirror, don't take ten steps and get
it done in three." - I was and always think too much and over analyze...

Sensei: "I want your knuckles of your thumbs to meet in the middle when striking."
*strike, knee to groin, inner reap*
GreenBigBen: "Gasp.... That was a good one"

Vx: "Did you give that one to me?"
GreenBigBen: "That's a stupid question, you should know by now I never 'give' anything."
Vx: "smiles... Ok, just checking"

Not so much as a year in review as a massive rant methinks and says...

Although I did not get my green belt this week, since we just went over
sylibus or Sylibi, I didn't expect to get it, this week on, week off is
really screwing with my training... but that just means I'll have to
practice on my own.

---------------

Oh and about my last day for this year? Watched Seasons 1 and 2 of Red
vs. Blue while my boss copied Robin Williams and a few other of my
DVD's onto other DVD's for 'backup' purposes....

Yes... they will never know now.... my plans are coming to fruition....

Vx Out... Gabe coined this phrase first, I just borrowed it...

not to be confused with Ryan Seacrest, Out of the Closet
