China Day 0

Well it's almost the big day till I fly off to a far away land to a world where monsters rule (monsters rule) by far away land I mean China....I'll be leaving on the 2nd of November for 27 days). I have to be honest I'm scared....not of terrorists, or any of that jazz no no just of good old airport security, you see I haven't been on a plan since I was 7 (I'm 19 now) and after September 11, air travelling has gotten to be a bitch for someone of my skin colour...you see my nationality is...Egyptian *GA-GA-GASP* and even whilst I sport a crucifix on my neck, I can't help but give off a terroristy aura

Please tell me you saw this joke coming....

...for anybody working in airport security I'M NOT A TERRORIST I'M SEVERELY AFRAID OF HEIGHTS THE LAST THING I WANT TO HAPPEN IS THAT PLANE TO FALL PLEASE DON'T SUSPECT ME now that we've gotten the disclaimer out of the way...home land security is at my door so I have to go get that brb...

C'mon guys can't we talk this out...no...*sigh* alright I'll spread my cheeks

You know it's funny I've always wanted adventure (like a DIGIDESTINED YA!) and to travel and all that but I'm scared out of my fucking mind, maybe it's cause I'm gonna be with my whole Dojo so it's a bit intimidating I'd rather go with a small group of my closest friends (me and my cat?) but whatever I'll manage the part you guys have to know is that I won't be able to update my blog for the time I'm there you see China has blocked facebook and youtube and apparently the government tracks communications (apparently) so I wouldn't be able to write this blog honestly with someone looking over my shoulder so I'll try to write in as documents, and I'll update this when I get back with plenty of landscape photos (cause I can't have people in my photos cause they made me sign something -_-....not the Chinese government btw)

There's only 7 of them...I'M TRAVELING WITH 21 PEOPLE

Hmm maybe it's because of some of the pain in the ass rules that we have "no check in baggage" do you know what the requirement for a carry on is in Canada in terms of weight? 22 pounds that's not bad...you know what it is in a domestic flight to China....11 pounds WHAT THE FUCK HOW IN THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO CARRY A MONTH WORTH OF SUPPLIES IN JUST 11 FUCKING POUNDS I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THE 4TH DIMENSIONAL POCKET PACKAGE WHEN I BOUGHT MY FUCKING BAG....I'VE TAKEN SHITS THAT WE'RE BIGGER THAN 11 POUNDS THIS IS BULLSHIT...to give you an idea of how small 11 pounds is...you know how in Monster Ranchers the kid went into the Monster World with just his roller blades (or something like that) well if I pack my roller blades and only my roller blades I GO 15 POUNDS OVER THE LIMIT THIS IS BULLSHIT...I'm currently weighing the bag in at 17 pounds without a bunch of shit that I didn't have at the time of the mock packing....FUCK...it's gonna be like the Biggest Loser only with more tears...I'm gonna have so much booze in China just to forget the fact that I'm standing there in the nude because I couldn't pack any clothes

He's also on the trip....

But also I bought a new camera (because my old one broke more than a year ago...fuck you Olympus) it's a Sony Cybershot and I'll be doing my first product review on it!...am I going to get sued? OH WELL ^_^

It's going to be like Pokemon Snap except without the pokemon!....T_T

Maybe I'm going into this trip with a negative attitude but we'll see how it turns out my main goal is to get my first kiss whilst in China...and return home in on piece...and not die...but seriously this kiss thing is important to me (and fuck you guys for laughing at it this is a noble quest for lo-li-slight physical attraction...AND SLIGHT PHYSICAL ATTRACTION IS WHAT I'LL GET) I don't know how I'm gonna go about it I'm still to much of a chicken shit to hit on women but I'll find a way (sexual harassment laws are considerably lower in China....SCORE!!!...am I going to be sued?)

"COME AT ME BRO!"

Alright we'll that's it I think wish me luck and if you see a little Egyptian boy in China on the news...thats me ^_^ Good bye for now.

BEN-TO!

BEN-TOOOOO!

By far the most epic anime of the season (that's right including Fate/Zero sorry Saber your a close second). Winning the title in just 2 episodes. It's about a school...and in that school there's a rule, and within that rule there is a subsection, and within that subsection it is stated that students living on the residence  will get free breakfast but not lunch or dinner, AND WITHIN THAT SUBSECTION THERE'S THE GREAT AND WONDROUS CAUSALITY THAT IS THE BENTO WARS.

BEN-TOOOOO!

Let me elaborate, because the students can't afford their dinner every night when the bento goes down to half price vicious all out no holds barred brawls break out....BEN-TOOOOOO! Led by rules and honour these students hold onto their pride and appetites whilst they fight for the ultimate prize....half priced ben-to....

BEN-TOOOOOO!!!!

Now I know what your thinking "Just another stupid action anime" and your WRONG it's an awesome action anime riddled with tasteful bouts of ecchi and actually good comedy which sooo unlike the shitty comedy of every other shitty comedy anime that was recommended to me by my idiot friends (with the exception of Cromartie High and School Rumble), and tops the action of C The Money of Soul and Possibility of Control, and doesn't depend on the ecchi to ensure it doesn't get cancelled before it's fourth episode launch like Infinite Stratos, and best of all it's not clinically depressed like Evangelion or Elfen Lied.

BEN-T-oh wait that's Ben 10

After having watched three episodes it's only hinting at a major plot but I'm not sure how their going to work that in or if I even want them to I'm perfectly content on contemplating on the awesomeness of half priced ben-to....and will do so with great diligence....BEN-TOOOOOOO!!!!!

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukanai

Hey Sam! remember that time when you we're a hopelessly lonely guy and all of a sudden you we're surrounded by beautiful women....me neither :D

Alright I'm back after my latest freak out, truth be told it's not really over but we're going to pretend like it is so my China trip blog posts will have a positive note too them alright?....ALRIGHT?! O____O......good ^_O

(also in light of writing something controversial I expected to receive my first comment on this blog but I have not...well played viewers...well played)

So staying on the theme of loneliness that seems to be going around lately (if you don't believe me watch the news and look at all the weirder than usual shit that's been happening lately) I'll be reviewing the new anime "Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukanai" which roughly translates too "I Don't Have Any Friends" which roughly translates too "Oh wow this hits close to home"

The title speaking, for itself, is about a bunch of misfits finding each other and becoming friends or rather...forming a symbiotic relationship (of course I haven't reached the end yet where one of the misfits gets a girlfriend and leaves all the other misfits behind especially the one misfit that's helped him out through all his most troubled times FUCK YOU YOU MOTHERFUCKER...I mean...congratulations ^_^)

It is actually quite accurate in it's portrayal of the lonely life, and I'm glad to see an anime finally show this...only took around 50 years too get to this plot line.  All the classic signs are their talking to yourself, appearing frightening to everyone around you, and wishing you could find someone that would take you away from your shitty life and...and...OHHHHHH GOD WHYYYYY T_______________T

It's good that this anime came now cause in case I didn't tell you guys I recently accepted my offer of admittance to a new university and after the complete disaster that the last one brought upon me...I'm fucking terrified of trying this shit again and this is even worse the last uni had only 80 people in my entire program...this new one will have more than 3000...if I fuck up with all of them their will be no hope for me O_O they'll have to make a whole new Star Wars movie where Luke Skywalker dies in the first 10 minutes and the rest of the movie is everyone going "....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

But back to the animeI hope this doesn't turn out like another Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya where they go through nonsensical adventures without ever really going to the fact that the entire anime is about a group of people that desperately need help, no no I hope this anime is a comedy drama (even though I've talked shit about such genres before) I hope there's pain.. and after that pain is done there will be more pain....and then more pain...and then laughter...BUT AFTER THAT MORE PAIN BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO GET OVER THIS SHIT WE NEED TO GET DOWN IN THE DUMPS AND HIT ROCK BOTTOM BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'LL EVER MOVE FORWARD O_O

But having watched the first two episodes of this anime doesn't look like it's going to suck but that's just one of the very long line of awesome animes coming out this season including but not limited too Fate/Zero, Bakuman 2, and No. 6, my only problem is that it's a harem and thus cheapens the whole concept...but granted if it wasn't a harem it would turn out like the Genshiken anime...and no one wants that again O_O
