Note for November 19
I'm now in the Washing DC area, Arlington
to be more precise. I've been really busy moving and getting myself adjusted with
the change and still looking for a roommate. I started my job recently and really
enjoy it. I'm basically a video game patent examiner. If there is anyone in the
DC area interested in meeting up, as I'm new here and basically have no friends,
feel free to send me an email.
Note for November 1st
I'll
be moving to the Washington DC area to start my new job as a Patent Examiner at
The US Patent and Trademark Office.
I have myself an apartment and am looking
for a roommate: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/roo/228364656.html
Since
I'm moving, I wish to sell one of my motorcycles: http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/mcy/228345718.html

for October 19th
Figured it's been a while since I last updated my pag
so I should letcha guys know I'm still alive. No, haven't been writing at all.
Was busy working mostly. Been busy riding my new motorcycle around. I got a great
deal on a 2001 Suzuki GSXR-750 that I couldn't pass up. Unfortunately, I've yet
to sell my SV650 so I currently have two motorcycles sitting in my garage. If
anyone is interested in buying a Suzuki SV650 and lives in the NY area, feel free
to drop me a line if you wish to check out my bike. You can read up about it in
the update note below this one.
That's
basically the bike I picked up except it has a custom paint job. I need to get
my hands on a digital camera so I can take pictures of my bike.
Dontcha
hate how hard it is finding certain songs for that one anime/game you're looking
for? This should solve your problem :)

for Sept 6th
Wow, it's been over a month since I last updated my page with
anything. Sorry for the lack of updates. Been busy working and such and haven't
been in the mood to write these past few months. I'm basically a technical writer
where I work so I do enough writing as it is. The last thing I want to do at the
end of a work day is write. I have been itching to write a few rants though. Just
curious, I've been away from writing for so long I don't even remember what I
used to write. To all those that still visit my page, is there anything you want
me to work on or finish or such?
Anyone interested in buying a blue 2000 Suzuki SV50 motorcycle? I've had it for a year and it's about time I graduate to a more powerful bike. If you live in the NY/Long Island area and are interested in a beginner bike, drop me a line. I'm looking for around $3200 but am more than willing to negotiate. It's got around 21K miles but has been garaged kept and well maintained and runs perfectly. It's a commuter bike and most of the miles weres from my daily ~70mile highway commute to/from work.
Check
out the background, you'll notice the Pyramid Head helmet made out of cardboard.
It
was a rough draft I made before I made one out of hardboard for Anime Boston/Otakon.
I'm not a fan of myspace, but I couldn't ignore this one.
I know this person and it's obvious he seems depressed. Send me comments if you
want and I'll pass it his way :)

Otakon is coming up. I've got crash space
for 2 extra people at the Mariott for Otakon. If anyone is interested, send me
an email. The price would come out to around $75/person for three nights, eight
people in the room. I can even provide a ride if you live on Long Island or along
our way to Otakon and willing to pitch in. What kind of experience can you expect
if you room with me and my friends? This would be a good
example of how it was last year.
Note for July 20
It's
been a while since someone emailed me some hatemail over one of my rants. Frankly,
I'm surprised I still remember how to reply to such email like I used to since
it's been so long.

ok, im going to make this short. basically, i looked around your site, read some shit, that whole deal. i have come to the conclusion that you are a fucking idiot. my friend sent me an article you wrote. the backfist thing. ill give u some credit, they really arnt used in real life street fights. but to hear you claim you've seen so many "real life" fights is bullshit. tv doesnt count as real life, even if its UFC. your an anime loser, i doubt you even know how to throw a punch. so stop bitching about the backfist. that is such a random thing to complain about. your better off bitching about chuck norris and his round house kicks of doom. seriously.. get a life.. i know your trying to be like maddox and bitch about shit, but his stuff is funny. your shit is just retarded... so STFU k? ok.. l8r fag

Lemme see if I understand this correctly, I'm an idiot even though you agree in my initial comment that backfists aren't used in real life, right? UFC is not considered real life fighting, so my reference to backfists being used in such 'fights' shouldn't even count, right?
I question your deductive abilities. Somehow, through reading my webpage, you've managed to somehow come to the conclusion that I am an anime loser, don't know how to throw a punch, lack a life and am a homosexual. I'm curious, what on my webpage allowed you to come to such conclusions? I'm having trouble understanding how one arrives upon such a conclusion based on what is on my webpage. I didn't realize I was so transparent and could be so easily figured out.

I applaud you for checking out other parts of my website. Most of the people who bother to write hatemail usually read a single rant and decide to write a scathing email towards me. Most people automatically feel the know exactly what kind of person I am based on the very first thing they read on my page, be it something they find offensive, inane, or idiotic. You, on the other hand, made a bit more effort to check my page out before coming to such a conclusion that I'm an idiot, much like how most people had they've only read a single rant.

Lemme see if I figured out how you arrived upon this conclusion. To you, UFC doesn't equal real life fighting. Therefore, I'm an anime loser. Therefore, I can't throw a punch. The evidence you provided sure is convincing. I'm curious as to how you managed to arrive upon such a belief based my rant about backfists.
Since I'm such an idiot for assuming that UFC can be likened to 'real fighting', can you please show me ONE fight where a backfist was used? I can understand how UFC isn't seen as 'real fighting' in some eyes since there are rules like no fishhooking or eye gouging and real fights are brutal fights where there are no rules. Since that's the case, that means any backfist seen in shows like K-1, Pride FC, UFC, Vale Tudo, Muay Thai fights, and various other 'ringed' fighting events is not acceptible as a 'real life backfist used in a real life fight'.
The ONLY backfist I can think of outside such 'fights' was in a video I saw where a martial arts instructor landed a 'blow' against a pimp in the middle of a street. I used the term 'blow' because the attack, while it looked like a backfist, connected using his forearm but could easily be mistaken for a backfist. The point is, if UFC doesn't count, all other similar fighting scenarios don't count as well. That leaves you with straight up streetfights....which, unless I'm wrong, don't have people using the backfist. Basically, my comment about how the backfist isn't used in real life fights is still true.
> such

> about chuck norris
and his round house kicks of doom. seriously..
I'm confused, the backfist is such a random a thing to complain about that I'm seen as stupid for ranting about it but a rant about Chuck Norris' roundhouse kicks of doom isn't what you consider random? If I had ranted about Chuck Norris' roundhouse of doom, would you have seen me in a different light intellectually instead of having written a rant about a backfist in television show?
Could it be that rants about Chuck Norris is not seen as idiotic nowadays since the Internet basically loves him at the moment? Considering I wrote that rant about two years before interest in Chuck Norris took place, would I be seen as a genius for ranting about an individual that will eventually become an Internet sensation a couple years afterwards? Or would I have been seen a complete moron for talking about said person?
Maybe I should make a rant now about, say, that bump on Jean-Claude Van Damme's forehead in hopes of him becoming an Internet sensation like Chuck Norris sometime in the future. That way, if he does become an Internet sensation, the rant I write now will not be seen as too random, right?
> get a life..
i know your trying to be like maddox and bitch about
> shit, but his stuff
is funny. your shit is just retarded... so STFU
> k? ok.. l8r fag
If you've read some of my other rants, you will have noticed that I am most definitely not like Maddox. Whether or not that's a good or bad thing is up to readers to decide. I can see how one might think I'm trying to be like Maddox since it's basically random stuff one is ranting about, much like Maddox. Heck, even the color scheme looks very suspicious. The only comments I have to convince you that I'm not trying to be like Maddox is that my site had that black/yellow/white color scheme since WAAAAY before Maddox showed up with his site (Unfortunately, there's no way I can prove that so I guess it's moot. Only people who've been visiting my site for many years would know what I'm talking about) and if you've read some of the rants I've written recently (as opposed to a couple years ago, during a time when I was trying to find a ranting-style I liked), you'll realize that my rants and Maddox are NOTHING alike.
Now that I think of it, what is the purpose of your email? Did you simply want to email me to say that UFC is not what people would consider 'real fighting' ? Did you want to point out that there are 'real fights' out there beyond UFC and that I'm stupid for using UFC as an example over those other 'real fights'? Did you want to point out that you still find me stupid even though I wrote that rant over two years ago? Did you want to comment that I'm trying to emulate Maddox and had failed miserably?
