New Year's Eve

It is New Year's Eve and here I sit at home.

Alone.

Great combination? Absolutely not.

But such is the way things are in life, some days are better then others and all anyone can do is face it and deal with it as it comes. I can only hope that tomorrow and 2007 will mean bigger and better things to come in life.

Anyway, that is that and now onto what I came here to do. And no, that wasn't to bitch about a laundry list of things that I can easily rant on about. No, that would be far too easy and a tiny bit tasteless on my part. So with that being said, we shall proceed.

One thing I am hoping for is that this entry will not end up as a giant mass of text as did my previous post. While it is true that it is still readable, but as a wall of text? No thanks.

So at long last I was able to see the ending of Samurai 7 and needless to say, I was a little surprised and sad at the same time as well. A part of me wanted the series to continue, as the way I felt as I watched the ending to Samurai Champloo, and see what becomes of the characters.

But such is not the case and so I bid adeiu to yet another series and in it's place, I welcome Burst Angel. Obviously (at least to me), this one is a far cry from the last two series I had watched (and just mentioned). Still, it is a interesting series and I can only hope that this one will have a slightly more diffenitive end.

Miami Vice was a much better movie that even I expected, though my only real complaint about is the fact that the story itself seem to jump around just a tad bit too much. Or at least more then I tend to care for. Still, I liked it and I thought it was a heck of a job done by both Collin Farrel and Jamie Foxx.

Now I have been thinking and I remembered that I had mentioned that I would be posting basically everyday at least in the month of January. Will that even be possible for me? Well, I think the short answer would be yes. Yes it would be easy for me to post every single day, but would it all be worth reading? Likely not.

Still, it is a challenge I have wanted to give a shot at and I am definately going to be throwing a lot of brain cells and thoughts and such at this particular task.

Another hope I have is work and how I hope that things will finally lighten up a bit around there. I know for a fact that I am not the absolute hardest worker there, but I have been pushing myself like crazy this past week and today (which, by the way, is normally my LAZY day) it felt pretty much like it had caught up to me.

But by no means am I bitching, I mean it pays fairly well (by that I mean it pays a lot better then my previous job to which I will write nothing of because even after a year, I have nothing nice to really say).

All in all, my one truth of a resolution for 2007 is to strive, every day and as best as I can, to become a better worker and a better person overall. By this time next year, I would like to be able to say that I have truly improved myself as a person or else 2007, to me, will be a year of failure. And after spending much of '06 as a failure, I surely do not want to walk down that path again.

So with that said, I shall return to post again when the clock strikes midnight and 2006 fades away and in comes the year 2007.

Variety of Thoughts

Today is pretty much a random thought entry, basically meaning I'll be jotting down whatever pops into my head. Honestly, my brain is a little off today because I was pretty sure today was Tuesday and to my surprise, it was not. Which ends up being a good thing, because Wednesday means day off for me!

Anyway, pictured above is, without question, my favorite moment in my entire time as a wrestling fan. This was the first and last Wrestlemania I actually bought live and I was so desperate to see Benoit in the main event, I bought the online video of it and watched the entire PPV that way.

In a lot of ways, it was a heck of a sight to see both Benoit and Guerrero with the World Heavyweight Championship and WWE Championship respectively. To me at the very least, it made all of those bad memories of WCW go away.

One thing that this Christmas season has thought me, I hate Christmas shopping. Or at least having to walk into a place and have the goddamn people watch me as if I was going to steal something. But rather then finding out if, I don't know, I might actually want to buy something, they'd rather just treat me like a criminal.

Oh well. They can look at me like a thief and I'll just spend my money else where.

Back to the subject of work, I am not looking forward to this week. I heard it is going to be crazy and basically my work place is a Japanese grocery store.

I think I would have written more today, but my brain really truly is busted beyond repair. Maybe I'll play more of FFXII and get onto that Esper hunt or maybe taken down another Mark or 2. Who knows. That or maybe watch Ocean's Eleven. Or Miami Vice. Or one of a dozen or so other possible things.

Yes, this entry is indeed a filler loaded post! I think I'll have more to write about later. When I wake up...

X-Mas: GONE

My patience, like Christmas, is quickly becoming gone. I don't know how else to word that, but that sums it up pretty much as best as I can. This is definately going to be a quick post, since I am a little pressed for time at the moment. Who knows though, I might actually write twice today just to make up for lost time.

But to cut to the chase, yes, this Christmas is much more memorable then those past in recent memory and time. This being, we could actually buy stuff and feel at ease rather then worry our little brains out about how we'll pay for this or what about that. Typical stuff.

Biggest deal for me is getting a spiffy new music player. It isn't an iPod, but it is roughly about the same size and it holds a whole crap load more then my previous. Besides that, my girlfriend and I went a slight bit crazy on buying some new Anime. Now we can truly see the ending of Samurai 7. And Last Exile. And Burst Angel. Needless to say, we haven't watched 'em all. Yet.

FFXII! Quick thought: Esper hunting season is just about open...

And now I am gone also, because it is nearly time for me to head off to work and face the unforgiving wrath of customers the day after Christmas! Dun dun duuuuun!

...that was lame...

...and I know it...

Oops and above is a cool picture I ran across of Amy Lee (singer from Evanescence). I liked it. Looks very Christmas-like and all that.

4 Days 'Till X-Mas...

It is amazing how time flies, it feels like it was only yesterday that I was looking at the calender to see 2005 coming and going. Now we are just a mere 4 days away until Christmas and on the eve of '07.

I am thankful that my own personal situation has improved as much as it had, in comparison to what things were like during this time last year. Actually, if I could, I think I would go back and slap my own head for more then just a few choices I made back then.

But the past is the past and I know I need to be aware with the here and now.

Anyway, enough about all that stuff... I mean it is damn near Christmas! Because of all the changes, I think X-Mas this year takes a bit of a larger meaning to me then it has had in many years. Now I can only hope and dream that things will be even better when 2007 rolls away and 2008 comes roaring in.

Now I must give mention about the person pictured above because why else would I have a picture if I didn't mean to write about it?

Her name is Sienna Guillory, whom had a roll in Resident Evil: Apocalypse and most recently (to my knowledge) Eragon. From the first moment I saw her in Eragon, I swore she'd some how end up being the villian. I don't mean that in a bad way, it just seems to me like she at least has the look of being able to play a very convincing villian.

And naturally, any chance there is to post a picture of a evil looking woman, you'd take it. Because evil is like sexy... and if you don't, she could hunt you down and kill. Ya never know these days...

Ok and maybe I was just looking for an excuse to just get the picture up here. At least I attempted to draw out a some what viable explaination for it! I mean it was convincing right...?

Anyway...

After going through a small scale hunt, I was finally able to get a copy of Jet Li's Fearless. I would have thought a movie such as this would have had a few more copies out in the world. I suppose everyone but Blockbuster sold out of it? If so, that is just freakin' amazing... I don't think even Pirates of the Carribbean 2 sold that many.

Wow and I didn't even realize that I've been listening to the same song for at least a half hour now (Saliva's "Click Click Boom"). I must be losing my mind here...

And that is it, that's all for today... my brain is in terminal I-Don't-Want-To-Work mode. Speaking of which, I have to get to work... yay...
