So I got bored and decided to google up my old blog and see if it's still kicking and look at this shit, it's still here after being abandoned all this time. Google apparently hosts this crap for the better part of forever even if 12 people a year visit ;-).
Well, to the maybe 4 people that stumble on here in the next 4-5 months, I'll give you a rundown of the last 4+ years that I've been away.
-I met a girl (Sarah) and we got married.
-I had to junk the 240sx due to a combo of no motivation and neighbours calling the cops about me having a non running car parked behind my parents house for a year and a half.
-I moved out, then came back home, and then moved out again.
-I got fired, then got a new jobs doing the same shit I was for a company that sucks a lot less ass, and pays better.
-I watch and buy a ton less anime and manga than I used to (who would have thought that after being single for a decade I would find a woman more exciting than cartoons? lol)
-That being said, I still watch anime, read manga, and play video games when I get the chance just not for 7 hours a day like I used to haha.
That's enough info, not that anyone gives a shit about what I did in the last 4 years anyway.
As for the blog, I may or may not update it again any time soon. I'm sure there are a few things that I could write some articles on being that I have a few new hobbies since I last wrote a post. Stuff like gardening, moving to the country (not yet but we're trying), eating healthy, homemade food, and other "stuff" like that. I guess only time will tell. Obviously this page doesn't exactly have people flocking here in droves. If I do post anything it will pretty much be for myself, the joy of writing something, and the lucky few that mistype something in google and end up here by complete accident.

Fucking cheapskates...
It's been a while since I posted last, and since I reached a milestone in my collection of dvd's (I just passed 900 discs), I got to thinking about how many cheap fucks there are ...
There's been quite a lot of news recently regarding copyrights in the anime world such as; this guy that was busted for uploading anime and this action by manga companies to shut down "scanlation" (fan-translated comics) sites. And it really got me thinking how no one buys shit anymore, speaking in terms of movies (DVDs/BD's) and music (Cd's) and especially PC software (hell, I'm not sure I know anyone who's actually bought an Adobe product since like 1995). I hear people talk about how they got *whatever* via bittorrent, but I rarely hear someone say I just bought a copy of *whatever*. It's gotten the point where the people that BUY things are the ones that get shit talked, "you actually paid for a copy of *X band*'s new CD, lol what for?".
Of course it revolves around the whole "entitlement" shit I see so often anymore (speaking personally of anime/manga, though I'm sure it happens for everything else too), where "fans" simply can be bothered to buy, basically, fucking anything. A look though almost any anime forum discussion will yield at least a few outspoken people going on about how they never buy a series that they haven't seen in it's entirety (via fansubs), or how they "would buy", but they're so far ahead of the American release that they'd have to wait X years to catch up to where they are right now. Or the official translation is crap and the fan-sub is more true to the original (and clearly they'd know since they speak Japanese fluently, and are only watching the fan-subs to critique the translators grammar). Or any other list of bullshit excuses someone uses to justify stealing.
The only justification I can at least understand is "it's not available" (either it's out of print, or was never released for purchase in your country, or is super rare and basically the only way to get a copy is to get prison raped by someone on Amazon marketplace). But, while that may be true for certain things it's hardly what's mostly being pirated, I'd say rare/hard to find stuff is probably near the bottom of the list. People aren't going on torrents to download an obscure Russian film from the 1940's that someone translated into English for the small group that wants to see it. They're going there to get the latest Lady Gaga album so they don't have to go spend $13.99 to get it at Best Buy (or they're just ashamed they listen to shit music like Lady Gaga). I mean shit, I'm far from rich, but I respect the fact that someone put a lot of time and effort into making something that I enjoy, I'm not about to be some dick and just rip the shit off. Just recently, I bought the latest Coheed and Cambria album and since I'm a huge fan I got the super deluxe box set version. It was almost $60 after tax, just so I could have a few bonus tracks and a novel, and I'd be willing to bet for my purchase 150 cheap fucks just DL'ed the whole album off some torrent site.
Part of me feel angry, knowing that what I spent hard earned money on some cheap ass spent about 2 minutes to google search and downloaded for nothing. But mostly I'm just sad that it's gotten to the point where people have so little respect for musicians, directors and programmers that they feel what they do for a living is basically worthless.

Back from the dead...
So, I haven't written anything about my 240 project car since last September since I basically became a hermit once it dropped below 50 degrees outside, and just covered the car and let it sit all winter. About a month ago I finally convinced myself to get off my ass and start back working on getting it finished. I think I had some bad ideas when I started messing with the car last year (Thinking it need to look like a show car, my strange obsession with the factory wiring, etc.) So I've been trying my best to just make a basic plan to get it in at least running condition by the end of the summer (or at least the fall). For the last few weeks I've been working on the car body (filling body lines, and "shaving" the side marker lights), and despite the fact that it's a lot more work than I expected, I am at least making progress (I'm almost finished on the from fenders, and started on the pass. side door).
Yesterday, and this afternoon I clean up the cylinders, and installed the crank, rods and pistons which is a good start on getting at least the engine back together.
I don't have any new pictures right now, though I'll probably take some in the next week or so and post them. So look forward to a few updates in the near future.

Fuck the 24 Hour Workday...
I went "retro" and wrote something more akin to what I founded the blog on, a good old-fashioned rant.
Enjoy, or don't, like I give a shit.
It seems to me in the last 5-10 years, or however long it's been that your average retard understood how to use "that Internet thing", a disturbing change has been coming over the working world. I'm not just talking the "hey, your fired" kinda change we've been getting a lot of over the last year or so. I'm talking more about how home life, and work life are starting to merge together in ways that are beneficial to the company, but detrimental to the employee. Companies are allowing, or subtly promoting, ideas that gain them profit (you working off the clock), while you lose (free time, sleep, sanity). Let's start things off with an example;
Giving your co-workers/managers your cell number/e-mail/Facebook address:
This shit seems WAY to common place, I don't mean to sound like I don't get along with anyone I work with, hell some are decent people, but in all honesty I'd maybe hang with 1-2 at most outside of work. So why in the living fuck would I want to basically invite a person into my private life that I don't really like that much in the first place? And on top of that why do I want to talk about work or work related things when I'm not on the clock? If I'm not getting paid, I don't give a shit about what new promotions the store is running, or who's got vacation time coming and needs someone to fill in for them. Seriously, I'm sure there will be plenty of time to discuss this when I pretend to give a shit about it, and the company is filling my bank account. Outside of that, I couldn't give a shit if the place burned to the ground (when no people were inside, of course), and even then I'd only be bothered that I'd have to go look for another place that would let me show up and do some various menial task for a paycheck.
Anymore, not a day goes by that I don't hear; "so-and-so text'd me last night at 2 in the morning and said...", wait, hold the fuck on WHAT!? someone you work with sent you a fucking text message at 2 in the god damn morning! For normal people 2 in the morning is that time of the day they devote to a little thing called "trying to get a good fucking nights sleep" (me personally, I call 2am "prime masturbation time").
In all honesty, I'd actually be a little pissed off if someone I consider a friend called me at 2am (mainly cause I'd have to put the brakes on my little whack-fest). But if it was a fucking co-worker! I'd find them the next time I worked and land a full force "Falcon Punch" on their taint.
And as for "Facebook friending" a co-worker, especially a boss of any type, that instantly puts you in the class of people that would toss salad for a raise, seriously, it's fucking despicable.
As far as I'm concerned the less time I spend doing work related things when I'm not getting paid (my free time) the better. Sadly this seems to be a view that is quickly falling by the wayside, the person who see work and home life as separate things is becoming an outsider, and the "modern" worker is one who more and more seamlessly molds their life around where, and with whom, they work.

They see me Rollin' pt.2
Much to my enjoyment my summer wheels/tires arrived on Monday afternoon.
And in a feat that was completely out of character, I woke up at around 5:30am Tuesday morning to put them on... only to realize that the sun wasn't even going to be up for another hour and a half. So after watching half of the latest episode of Top Gear, it was finally sunny enough to get to work. And by 7:15am I was owner of the most pimp'ed Yaris in town (now there's something to be proud of).
As you can tell by the pictures it was still pretty cold (around 27F) when I put the tires on.
For fun I also weighted one before I put it on...
And was pleasantly surprised to find it was actually about 2 pounds lighter than I even expected (about 28.5Lb. according to a shitty bathroom scale).
Initial impressions: Since the tires will need about 500 miles of "nice" driving before I can really test them out I can't really comment on how they accelerate or corner (though it's obviously far better than the factory tires or the winter tires.) One thing I noticed right away is that they are one of the loudest tires I've ever had (which considering they're an ultra performance summer only tire isn't a surprise). It's not annoying, simply turning the radio up a few clicks drowns them out almost entirely, but they do make a constant "hum" on every road surface I drove on. Also as a very soft compound tire they have a tendency to grab little rocks and things off of the road surface and throw them into the wheel wells. On the plus side they are very smooth, I actually caught myself speeding quite a few times on the way to work since it never feels like your going that fast.
I'll more than likely make another (probably far shorter) post in a few weeks when I've got them broken in and can give some of my thought on how they react when pushed a little harder.

They see me rollin'
Well it's been fricken forever since I made a new post, in all honesty I haven't been doing anything worth talking about, just a lot of work. However, over the last few weeks the weather has been slowly making its way from balls freezing cold to at least mild temps. So it's quickly becoming "car season" again, and hopefully this year I can keep my ass peeled away from the anime and video games long enough to get some real work done on the 240, and the Yaris.
Speaking of the Yaris, I just ordered a new wheel/tire setup for summer (the factory steelies are officially winter wheels, using the old snow tires I had on the 240).
These are the wheels (well not the actual wheels, this is a stock photo, but you get the idea). They're Enkei RPF1's, I ordered them in 15's, since it's a small car and I don't want it to look like more of a retarded roller skate than it already does. The other reason is the 15's are an "I came buckets" inducing 9.5 pounds each. Combined with the tires (that are about 20 pounds), which I'll get to in a second, the whole package should end up right around 30 pounds which is about as light as I've ever seen for a wheel/tire package, short of "shaved" tires and carbon fiber composite wheels. Which should hopefully give some nice benefits like better acceleration and braking (with 85HP it needs any help it can get), which should make "spirted" drives a little more fun, and safe (since nothing is less fun than driving like a tool, then having to get a ride home after you "make friends" with a big ass tree).
I decided to go with a pretty ass kicking set of summer tires, and after reading a bunch of articles, tests, and reviews I settled on these. They're Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec's (195/55/15), and besides having one of the longest names ever given to a tire, they're supposed to be one of the best "extreme performance" summer tires money can buy, but at $89/ea. they're also dirt cheap compared to the Goodyear's and Pirelli's of similar class.
Other plans for the Yaris are a new set of springs (more than likely a set of Eibach Pro-lines), and a TRD rear sway bar (which should help the car from getting pushed all over the road in a cross wind, like it does currently). Chances are this will be the extent of modifications I do to the Yaris, since, it's still just a work car, so I don't want to do too much, and end up with another loud ass car that pounds me to death where ever I drive.
The wheels/tires should show up early next week, and I should have them on as soon as I get a day off. I'll be sure to take some pictures and shit, and post them here. So now I guess all 3 of you that read my shit have something to look forward to.

Otakunatomy: Examination of a Sub-culture
So, I've talked a few times about anime, but I've never really said much about my involvement in the "community" (outside of a few self-deprecating remarks about my nerdy-ness). So I thought for fun, I'd explore some of the groups of anime fans I've discovered over the years.
Opinionated assholes: Interestingly, despite the fact that many "hardcore" anime fans are shy/awkward in public, you'd never be able to tell if you ever visited an anime forum. People, who in public can't look a girl in the face when they're talking to her, will rip someone a new asshole on a forum for saying that X show is shitty.
The "eternally never satisfied" guy: Maybe the guy's depressed, or maybe he just listens to too much My Chemical Romance, but the "eternally never satisfied" guy will ALWAYS find something to be unhappy with about some part of an anime. Either the dub sucks, or it doesn't have a dub, or it's too expensive, or all the shows they like "never get picked up". You'd think the guy would just enjoy the shit he's able to watch, but it seems like every new anime released just pushes him another step closer to taking a nice long bath with a plugged in toaster (do it, faggot!).
The "Elitist": There are generally 2 types of "Elitists", one is a combo of the "opinionated asshole" and the "Eternally never satisfied guy". These are the types who love to point out every little mistake, like; "poor translation" (even though they don't actually speak the language being translated). Or "edits" and how without the "cut" scene the story is "completely changed". Yes, of course, without that 6 second clip of the little girl getting out of the bathtub my ability to understand a 27 episode long TV series is ruined.
Another form the "Elitist" takes is that of a film critic, or someone who's "cultured", someone who doesn't simply watch a show, but understands all of the subtle cultural "quirks", and "gets" all of the obscure in-jokes. They must see the show in it's original format (Original language, unedited, etc.), and will be quick to point out that those people who don't watch it that way are not "experiencing" the show the way it was originally intended. Apparently never realizing that it was never intended for non-Japanese audiences to begin with, and that they're making a huge fucking deal out of a cartoon that no one besides them (and other elitist nerds) really gives a shit about.
The "chicken little" fan: For this guy, the entire anime world can come crashing down at any moment. Anything negative that ever happens (a company losing a show, a new "censorship" law, etc.) spells disaster for everyone. You can usually find this guy making posts like "Group determined to make all Hentai illegal", when he's not putting together an "end of the world kit" and listening to Glen Beck. Yea, 'cause a few pissed off housewives are really going to over throw the multi-billion dollar porn industry. Relax a little buddy.
The OCD fan: Anime fandom has this strange way of turning regular nerds into over obsessive perfectionists (I'm not immune, I went through this phase too). It happens in a variety of ways, such as the "completist" someone who must see every little piece of animation related to their personal favorite shows. We're talking DVD specials, commercials, some porn spin off the director whipped up after an all night sake bender. Then there's the "neat freak" type of OCD fan, who keeps their anime and manga (comics) in pristine condition. I sort of understand since anime isn't cheap (well it's pretty cheap now, but it used to be very expensive), and if you spent the extra money for a collectors box you want it to be in decent shape. But I'm talking way beyond the normal care one would give to a music CD or something, this is some "I keep my anime DVDs in a vacuum chamber" shit. I understand taking nice care of things, but freaking out if there's a small tear on the corner of the art box is going a little far.
