something I absolutely want to show at working during our safety and training days... Very Gory and violent! | | Monday, June 29th, 2009 | | 6:20 pm |
Update: July 5th, I am flying to San Diego for C school. Getting some training to be better with computers and work on computers. I'm not complaining. It'll be for about a month until I head back to Japan | | Monday, June 22nd, 2009 | | 11:21 pm |
I am pretty much in a pretty good routine and I take breaks during the weekend. I wake up, go to work... fix a printer or computer here and there... change clothes every once in a while... and when work is done I hang out at the Fleet Rec to sometimes work out at the gym or surf the internet on my computer and play some video games. Still playing WoW.. and trying to get to the point where I can play competitively with other people in my division... there's only one guy at my level where we can actually team up and stuff. I am still trying to figure out what my next goals are... right now the only things I have going on are trying to get my Qualifications done... mostly involved with learning how to fix the ship and do repairs. What am I doing right now? I am on watch... watching a computer screen that's kind of like looking at an aqua colored Matrix. I am also working on another drawing... pretty much most of the drawings I do look like cover sheets where I have a bunch of characters standing around... usually in armor, with swords or katanas... maybe it's kind of the same stuff over and over again... but its what I enjoy. I should try something different sometime. I can always ask myself some questions like: "Hey how's that Death Knight coming along?" -oh he's fine... level 74... got some decent tanking and dps gear. Planning on running some Draktharon Keep and working on the Wrathgate chain quest. He'll jump up to the next level just by doing all of that. "How was Disney Sea?" - its this weird, Navy themed Disney Park... my favorite ride was thing thing called the Storm rider... its a ship that flies through a tornado and it gets hit by its own missle. It has some rain effects and you can see the missile crash into the roof and the pilot wiggles it out where it detonates and stuff... its kind of like the Star Wars ride in Disneyland. It also had an Indiana Jones land... an Aladdin theater where you see Genie in 3-D. Then I played this $5 game where you try to roll these balls on a dish to win this prize... it seemed easy enough since there were quite a few winners... I sucked at it but I got this complementary prize.. a Genie pin. And seriously, Japanese people are so freakin' mellow. You can tell they are having a good time, but they don't go nuts like they do in the States... they got this boat that looks like dragons that shoot fire, break dancing guys and girls in Spanish outfits, lines of people in costumes waving flags and everything... the Japanese people have their cameras out and stuff, but their only seem to react in a "oh, how nice... *click*" I think visiting Disneyland lowers the suicide rate... however working for Disneyland would probably do the opposite I imagine. "How was Tokyo?" - Went to Harajuku the other day... those girls in the maid outfits are pretty cute. Friend of mine bought a Pink Floyd T-shirt... They have this crazy store with nothing but gag condoms... maybe real ones too... like... loli-pop condoms... Vibrating Condoms... Superman condoms... Spiderman... Growing penises that you just add water and it grows like a plant. A friend of mine really put Japan in perspective and explained how he was getting sick of it because it was like nothing but a Spencer's giftstore... but its all over Japan, and plus he wasn't really into computers, even though he was an IT. I don't mind it... but I can see how it can drive the average human being completely nuts. It's funny... I go all over Tokyo, and all I buy is a Sony PSP memory card and adaptor... for some reason I feel like I'm living up to the whole Japanese shopping experience... but after all I have been in Japan for quite a while now. "How are your relationships going?" - alright I guess. I'm not too good at the long distance stuff. It's fun to chat and all, but you can't really do a whole lot. -It kind of like... so uh... what do we do... I guess we can chat and stuff! * sure that sounds great - You want to play WoW? * No I hate that game - What to talk dirty to each other? * I'm not into that - check out this picture I drew * that's nice Me: uhh.... I am officially out of ideas Other person: ditto On the flip side, there are some guys here who have it a lot worse... like guys having to pay for child support... or having families overseas that they can't see... imagine... there's this dude at work that's 19 and had 2 kids aleady... and I'm 25... My self-psychiatrist: I know what your problem is. Me: You do? Mr. P: Sex is like pizza right... even if it's bad, it's still pretty good. Me: Yea I heard of that. Mr. P: Some ladies can't enjoy pizza unless they have a healthy tossed salad. Me: I am not sure what that means but go on. Mr. P: And you... you're pizza is like... you buy it from a guy in a Mouse costume next to a ball pit where you have lights that go on and off and go DINGDINGDINGDINGDING Me: What's that mean, Doc? Mr. P: ... means you're pretty fucked up man... ---- | | Monday, June 8th, 2009 | | 6:28 pm |
dubbed anime is pretty fucking hilarious Everything in here is golden. I don't think I have ever wanted to own an anime dvd set until now | | Sunday, June 7th, 2009 | | 7:10 am |
so yea... I work on a lot of computers at my job now. I hook, unhook computers, change the cables... learned how to build LAN cables, I send and proof read special messages and edit them when there are errors. I do a lot of troubleshooting... I have to do a sort of customer support... from easy questions like: "Is the little green light on the monitor on? Did you press it yet? It works? Thank you very much?" To crazy stuff like: "I need to clone the OS of this computer on 70 other computers..." I do a lot of janitorial work too.... mopping, sweeping, scrubbing, and I have chipped paint with a needlegun. I have some gear ready in case I have to be a fire fighter. I got to play cop for a while... on shore patrol we have to look for rowdy violent drunks and throw them into wagons and party vans. You can't really sympathize the drunks all that much because they easy get themselves into trouble... and it makes us all look bad. I have helped escort civilians around the ship. I have entered a working party where I helped on load and off load ammunition... just crates full of bullets. For once, I guess I can say that I've earned my pay. It's a satisfying job... do I want to do it forever? I hope not... but for now it's been going great. I just don't like how there's always a test to keep studying for... but that's life I guess. Sometimes I would have to stand watch and guard something... or stand around and do nothing at all. It's the kind of job where I have to do a little bit of everything... and I'm alright with that. Things that are still on my to do list: - get a Japanese driver's license - climb Mt. Fuji - attend the next Comic Market (but bring a buddy this time, going alone sucks)Aug 14- 16 - attend Tokyo Game Show (Sept 24-29) - shopping in Jimboucho (vintage Manga) & Shopping in Mandarake in Nakano - go to a real Hot Springs... the ones with monkeys in them I have been drawing here and there and update them rarely. So my art really isn't declining... I've managed to create some decent stuff while I was bored sitting around in a classroom and such. It's cool having emulators for my PSP... I am trying to remember what are some good super nintendo games to have on it... I already have Gemfire so my mind is drawing a complete blank on what to add next. Been playing World of Warcraft with co-workers... sucks that they don;t play horde so I now have a level 70 Dwarf Death Knight named Grigby. He is a pretty cool dude since dwarves are always pretty fun. We all learned this ever since Snow White where 7 of them go together and killed a witch with a BOULDER. Old school Disney was pretty cool. I had a dream where I was watching some kind of cartoon with my own creations... but its was a little distorted from what I remembered... since it had characters from 3 different story ideas all merged together... and the were riding in a car. I gotta go mop. Laters. | | 7:05 am |
I haven't updated this in a while! Well, they blocked Facebook at my work... so I have been surfing a lot of internet (oh and working!) I told a lot of stories and sent them to my family... it seems like I have done a lot in Japan... hang on I gotta switch computers again. | | Sunday, April 12th, 2009 | | 4:55 pm |
Finally in Japan. Except living on a Naval Base in Japan is a little different. Its not quite America... yet not quite Japan either... clearly a combination of the two. Its kind of interesting how you can pay with US dollars inside the base and Japanese yen outside the base... It took me a little while getting used to the customs here. Like taking off my cover when leavig/entering base, asking permission to come aboard... and all the fun stuff involving checking in. The people here are pretty friendly, sometimes they joke around, some enthusiastic, some not. Most agree that sleeping in that little coffin/rack isn't the best thing ever... but for now its home. I'm sleeping on the top bunk.. the racks are 3 beds high, so I kind of have to Spiderman it when climbing up to go to sleep, and even more of a challenge when I have to do a little Tarzan thing when I come down... no really... there's like this bar I gotta hang on to that I have to swing down... since there's not really enough space for me to get up (or I'll bust my head against this protruding air vent) and there isnt a ladder either for me to walk down, which kind of sucks. My bed has curtains... tiny, tiny, curtains. Some of the guys are play jokes with each other... when one of the guys was showing me around, there was a black guy in the rack across from me. The guy showing me around would say: "Yea, this dude's named Puma, he's cool" Black guy: "No one calls me Puma" "You wouldn't believe this, but he was actually born in Japan.. so he has Japanese citizenship" Black guy who isn't Puma: "I'm not Japanese...." --- The easiest way for me to find my rack in this minotaur like maze of beds and lockers (plus there like only a few lights and red lights that come on when its bed time...) I remember that my bed is right next to the lounge and I'm the only rack with a double sized locker (but aince my bed doesn't have a lift up coffin locker... I actually might have even less space... but thats okay... I hate using a coffin locker) --- The food is okay... not bad for food being made on a ship... plenty of soda too... I had blueberry pancakes, cheezy potates, and some bean things... and yogurt for breakfast. A guy named T, showed me around the base... even though he has a reputation for "skating around" (which means being lazy) he's been in the service for a year and a half and hasn't got himself into any real trouble. He seems like a pretty chill guy which I'm okay with... and I got the feeling that living on the ship wouldn't be all that bad... sure there's work and stuff.. but he seemed to look forward to the ship being able to pull out of port pretty soon and visiting countries overseas... Australia is pretty popular and I'd like to check it out. --- Did you know in the Japanese flavors, their soda vendor machines can add different flavor in your drinks? You can add lemon, melon, and lime. Melon Coca-cola isnt all that bad. --- I guess I over packed a little... turns out the working uniforms really aren't used.... at all... I left them all in their bags and they are easily locked up in the Seabag locker... at least I can come back for them later instead of having to throw them away. I think what kind of sucks about living on a ship is that it would be a bad idea to buy anything else... it just wouldn't fit. --- Walking around off base is always fun too... for me, its a different experience... where I actually enjoy wandering around and getting lost in Japan, and checking out all the new and interesting stores. I went to a fast food ramen shop... I confidently ordered something and then I had to take it back after I realized I was about to purchase a kids me... The lady at the counter pointed to a board behind her and said in Japanese... would you like the Doraemon Maracas, the choochoo train, or the little rubber band helicopter... I ordered a real/ normal meal instead... but you know... those toys did sound pretty cool... --- In Japanese crane games, you can catch live fish it seems... too bad no one ever wins... what if you drop them.. isnt that like... animal cruelty? It'd be easier just to buy a fish... or catch one using the ol' hook and line. --- There's an arcade game where you use these boxing glove controllers where you can punch guys, shoot guys, and drive a car. The main character looked like one of my old roommates back in my teaching days. Bald head and mustache. I clearly new this was the best game ever when the big body builder guy started throwing black rappers with guns at me and I had to punch them away from me and into on-coming gangstas charging at me. Awesome. 100yen well spent. I'll write more later... | | Thursday, April 9th, 2009 | | 11:22 am |

this is the best animated series in 2009... this or Guin Saga. Look... he punched that guy in the face so hard... that tree caught on fire... I mean... like... holy fucking shit man... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCslJq2whcY I will be so pissed if Guin Saga doesn't rock (but in the end it might turn out mediocre.. but keeping my fingers crossed.) | | Monday, March 23rd, 2009 | | 8:24 pm |
back in AZ... been playing a bunch of DS games... like this one game.. I`m a wizard and I`m casting spells and making clothes while this weird sheep keeps hitting on me and passes notes to me in class... this is clearly an amazing game. It`s nice being able to relax all day, it`s strange in a way... almost I never joined the Navy and it seemed like a long and awkward dream. I`m playing with these things too...   ... I am just going to hit the enter button right now... I`ll make another entry later | | Thursday, March 12th, 2009 | | 11:36 am |
At last, my dreams of a live action mario kart will soon come into fruition... I definitely want to get me one of these someday. | | Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 | | 11:51 am |
now seems like an alright time to update the journal... not much has happened recently... pretty much this is what I've been doing this week, last week, and the week before... I was going to draw something in MSpaint... but this crappy computer in the Liberty Center doesn't have it! Nor does it allow saving in general. I think I definitely need to go out and buy that gaming laptop. Going to lunch in a couple minutes... The Ren fair was fun... saw some jousting, got a crappy tarot card reading for $10... I'll upload those pictures sometime... I took a couple here and there. I definitely feel like looking for some kind of forum or site where I can try working on art and stories for fun... just not the ones I tried out before... but looking for those types of communities are part of the challenge. ... Almost out of time before I have to go back and sweep dirt and leaves for 3 and a half hours... it feels like being back home... doing chores for Dad... just like ol' times... except I'm getting paid for it. Closing thoughts for today? I never had the chave to show a lot of my new art... nothing impressive... just new sketches I should try and upload sometime... ... I'm going to go eat... I'll think of something better to tell later... | | Sunday, February 22nd, 2009 | | 2:28 am |
!@#@%%^%$^ERT$^%$&&khfsdpgio%$^ sonnofa rasafrasafrasafras my laptop died unexpected while downloading some Power Rangers and Kamen Rider.... it just... committed suicide and the hard drive doesn't work at all.... nothing I can do will be able to repair it... I've tried to reformat, use windows cds, repair disks, the internal repair thingy... nothing works at all... I'll probably have to take it to a store for someone to look at it... or buy a new computer or non-sucky laptop.... no more HP laptops for me... using a friend's computer to update the journal... not much else has ben going on.... I haven't been doing much art and haven't been interacting much online... though I kind of miss doing that. I'm glad that I've had quite a few things saved on my external hard drive.... it's been serving me well... but unfortunately I haven't been able to save... well.... all of the new stuff since I got a laptop... well... all the stuff I lost is replenishable... EXCEPT FOR MY SAVED GAMES... but that's pretty much it... I wonder what else I should carry around on the external, so that I can put it back on my computer... I lost my downloaded copy of Guilty Gear XX #Reload... The worst part about having your hardrive wiped out is.... trying to remember all the stuff that I exactly lost... (aside from the porn... there's way too much of that shit... that's unsalvageable... gotta start over... finding those chubby scene girls was hard as hell... this is like.... internet we're talking about which is the opposite of real life) ... I also hate the feeling where I'm looking at my journal... sit around for a few minutes thinking of what to type then all of a sudden..... I remember.. holy shit! I lost THAT too... I'm not allowed to tell you what THAT is... because then I'd have to think of a good reason explaining why I've looked at it and decided to save it... I mean... how can I explain it... you want to tell me the truth or something? Because that'd seem even weirder. ---- I bought Disgaea 3, I own a PS3 controller, XBOX360 controller, XBOX360 memory card. ... I own neither a PS3 or an XBOX 360. ---- ....having a dead laptop suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks..... | | Friday, February 20th, 2009 | | 2:41 pm |
Man, it's been a while since I updated. But the news is good. I finished IT A School here in Pensacola, Florida. I'll be in holding for about 2 weeks, but I received my verbal orders. I'll be boarding the flagship, the USS Blueridge stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. I'm glad to be heading back and it'll probably be a lot of work. I'm looking forward to it when I'll finally depart. | | Saturday, January 10th, 2009 | | 2:04 pm |

still playing Navy... cleaning... sweeping... waiting for school to start... playing video games in the meantime like PS3, 360, DS games, and pc games. Trying to draw more everyonce in a while. Joined a D&D game... my character was a kobold artifact maker with high ranks in bluff... I pretty much used bluuf to pass through every encounter instead of having to actually use combat or common sense. It was fun. I should have gotten a better haircut.... I look like Jarhead right now. Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving... it was a good weekend for me... (except for my duty section which is always TOTAL ASS, I hate you duty sections!) Not many plans for Xmas... I should work on getting those xmas presents for family members. | | Friday, November 14th, 2008 | | 3:48 pm |
NAS Air Show in Pensacola
After going to the Air Show today where all I did was help sell ice cream, I also brought my camera and took videos of what was going on, my favorite was the car vs. plane. some bi-plane stunts and ofcourse the Blue Angels taking off | | Saturday, November 8th, 2008 | | 8:42 pm |
I had a good time, I spent the day at the mall and watched Madagascar 2. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it had plenty of laughs. There's the Art show on Nov 9th, but I am not going to go see it, I'll have to make sure to work on my qualms for guard duty since I spent the entire day having a good time with other sailors and eating some good food at Applebee's. I made sure to get a set of civilian clothes along with a pair of shoes. I got an Xbox controller in case there's going to be an xbox get together in someone's room for a while and I picked up the first book of the "Sword of Truth" series, which seems to be recommended for those who read fantasy books. Next Friday though, I think I'll want to check out the Blue Angels in the air show, but it's kind of a shame when I saw in a paper that one of those pilots got in trouble.... was it Fraternization I think?? Man... it seems a little too easy to blow money in the military... (or anywhere), especially on a limited military paycheck. Right now I'm typing again at the Liberty Center, eating a fellow shipmate's onion rings while I let him play Mario Vs. Donkey Kong on my DS. There are a lot of pretty cool people in the NAVY, along with people who I CAN'T stand but can't manage to avoid em. It's hard to blow people off in the military or tell em to fuck off, especially if you might see them almost everyday... then it'll just breed about bad news. It's nice to have those packages come in and enjoy the computer and the handheld games... because things to do on base are a little limited, and it cost quite a bit of money for taxi fare to the mall.... I'll spend a few more liberties on base. I haven't taken many pictures like I planned, but I'll be sure to take some when I check out the museums and such. | | Friday, October 31st, 2008 | | 8:00 pm |
Happy Halloween! It's like my.... second or third day in A school... and I finally get the chance to use the internet in the liberty center. Man.... wow just wow... military life is.... is pretty intense sometimes... some days are easy... somedays are hard... fortunately, today was a pretty easy day.... but scary at the same time. Me and all the other new recruits had to stand at Parade Rest and watch an actual "Captain's Mast"... it's like a type of Navy court and 3 people were judged. One was accused of cheating on a test, and acted in the wrong way, thus appearing to look really guilty, but was given a warning that time. But the other two guys didnt turn out so well, they got extra duty, a level loss in rank, pay cuts... but they did some pretty bad stuff. One guy was found passed out drunk in front of a bar when he was supposed to have guard duty... sucks for him. And the other guy left the base on his duty day... and this was his second time to Captains Mast. So they aren't bullshitting when the military says that the biggest problems are unauthorized absences and drinking problems... thus making the rules a bit tighter for the newer guys like me. Yet, its still better than boot camp.... ANYTHING is still better than bootcamp... I can't say that I haven't had good experiences though... it might be strange to say this... but it might have been "fate", that drew me to the military life.... (if you believe in it). Choosing the military life is the biggest gamble in my life, the stakes are high... and after seeing that Captains Mast in person... I now know how much I really have to lose if I take our military lightly... it's serious business because... after all.... its our taxpayer dollars and lives at stake here.... The good thing about IT is that its very selfpaced... if I study hard and take the tests fast... I could even be out in 20 days instead of 96.... (but I'm not THAT smart)... but it's been done before... there was a guy who recently finished IT school in 15 days... good for him... Things will be a bit more relaxed for me once I get my own laptop once again... and it's a bit nicer to iron my clothes without having to do it on the floor while 80 different guys are snoring in the middle of the night... but I gotta have those nice crisp edges on my clothes and shiney black boots to look good for those inspections.... if I don't... "bad stuff" happens... and no one likes bad stuff... After looking though my own recent messages.... I get the impression that things really have changed in a short amount of time... soon enough I'll be off into the fleet and doing who knows what. |
