And I Thought My Life Was Getting Boring... HA!

Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year and spends very little on office supplies.
- Woody Allen

Greetings all! I hope you’re all having a wonderful day! I certainly am. Well, it became good after 5 PM when I got off work. heh heh! Yeah, if you’ve ever seen the movie Office Space and happen to recall the scene with the copy machine and the field, you would know my feelings towards the wonderful piece of technology that I spend my day standing in front of. I swear, the thing has a will. It seems to be bent on making my workday miserable. First the thing won’t take the paper, so we call out the Minolta guy to repair it. The guy comes and replaces the rollers. The guy leaves. I begin using it and now it’s taking too many pieces of paper. I spend 3 hours feeding pages into it one at a time before the Minolta guy comes back and fixes it again, this time with a supervisor. After that the machine behaved, but I’m giving it no more than three days before it starts acting up again. Thankfully, in three days I’ll be gone from this job, and then it’s back, to school with a small detour through Italy on the way. Yeah, that’s right, I said Italy. My family is going to Italy for my sister’s “senior trip.” It should be a fun. So, with that said, on with the rest of the post!

I’ve Been Had!
Yeah, today at about 2PM I got a call from my mom talking about how Visa had contacted me at home about possible credit card fraud. I didn’t think anything of it since this has happened a couple times before. Each time Visa was just being overly cautious. But, while I was on the phone with my mother, my dad calls. Now I’m worried. Then when he told me what’s going on, I got scared. This time it really isn’t Visa being overprotective. Somebody has actually been using my account to buy stuff. Today alone, some F***ING ASSHOLE out in California bought over $1,000 worth of merchandise using my money. Not only that, it’s not just the credit card number that he’s got. He actually made a fake card and imprinted it with my number. He tried to go to Wal-Mart of all places. Well, I shouldn’t really say he tried, because he walked out of the store with the merchandise. Suffice it to say, this problem is being handled. Please keep me (and my checking account) in your prayers. Specifically, please pray that this asshole gets caught and prosecuted.

The Gibson Incident
Mel, Mel, Mel, Mel, Mel. What are you thinking!? Gah! Yeah, I respect you as a person, but you’re screwing things up, dude! Now, if any of you have managed to go the last few days without hearing about what has happened involving Mel Gibson, you must be living under a rock. But, for those gophers out there, I’ll bring you up to speed. A few nights ago, Mel Gibson was pulled over for D.U.I.. This in itself is bad enough, but the atrocities didn’t stop there. Supposedly, as the officers tried to arrest him, the drunk Gibson started yelling anti-Semitic remarks and other obscenities directed towards the Jewish race (a race that one of his arresting officers happens to be a member of). Since then, it’s been headline news. Every station in the country has been covering it. Why, Mel, why?!

After the man made The Passion, he became the most prominent example of Christianity to the rest of America. Any move he made was going to reflect upon the entire Christian community. And, lately he’s really been botching things up. This D.U.I. thing isn’t the first problem. There is also a little less known problem involving his newest movie, Apocalypto. He put himself in the trailer. If you look at the image I have attached next to this section of my post, you can see the single frame of video that had his image in it. It is him looking almost crazy. The eyes, the beard, the hair, the clothes, everything yells “crazy dude.” How’s that for a positive reflection of American Christians? Now, I know it’s a lot to expect the man to be this shining example of Christianity. He’s a sinful and flawed human being just like the rest of us. But, must he lend himself over to criticism like he does? I mean, at least try a little harder. I’m not sure that anybody in Hollywood can respect him after these two incidents. I’m afraid we might be witnessing another professional demise of the likes of Woody Allen. After Mr. Allen’s interesting romantic relationship with his ex-daughter-in-law, nobody took him seriously any more and he has never really lived it down. I hope the same thing does not happen to Mr. Gibson. For that reason alone, I will go see Apocalypto just to help support his career in what small way I can (I was probably going to end up seeing the movie anyway).

Windy City Jazz
I’M GOING TO SEE JOHN MAYER IN CONCERT!!! HAHA! BOOYAH! Oh, and Sheryl Crow will be there too. Heh heh! Yeah, on Saturday, September 9th, me and 3 of my friends from college will drive 9+ hours north to Chicago to see John Mayer and Sheryl Crow perform live. It’s gonna be one hell of a trip! I was a little hesitant at first. I mean, it’s over 9 hours of driving. It’s an entire weekend’s adventure for 3 hours of musical goodness. Is that really worth it? And then I realized, all I did with my Saturdays last year was sleep in ‘til 1 and watch anime. So, yeah, 9+ hours in a car is perfectly worth it. It gets me out of my room, right? So, yeah, I’m definitely looking forward to that concert.

September Conventioning
September certainly is a packed month for me. Two weeks in a row of road trips. The weekend before the concert, Labor Day weekend, I will be driving down to Dallas to go to AnimeFest. YAY! Another con! I will, yet again, be cosplaying as Shugo from .hack//Legend of the Twilight. It should be a fun weekend. FLOW is going to be performing this year! They are also going to be having some very prestigious anime guests. Yoshitoshi Abe will be there. He’s the guy who did the character design for NieA, Serial Experiments Lain, and Haibane Renmei. Also, the director of Escaflowne will be there. I apologize for not being able to remember the man’s name. Just go to AnimeFest.org to read about the con. And, if you happen to be in the area and go, that would be awesome! It’s going to be a fun weekend.

Now, before I wrap up this post, I have a trivia question for y’all. This one is an interesting one. It’s one I kinda fell upon myself. In the Beatles song, “Lady Madonna,” every day of the week is mentioned except one. Which day of the week is not mentioned? If you know the answer without listening to the song, let me know. But, if you had to listen to (or read) the song to get the answer, please make a note of it in your comment. I’m just curious to know if anyone else in my little circle is as nerdy when it comes to the Beatles as I am. I hope you all have a great day and I’ll see ya ‘round TheO! Sayonara!
