Synchronicity

  Random Thought® Nr. 6 

   Currently listening: The Police - Synchronicity II  

As I'm sitting here in my office, listening my cheap MP3 player playlist go through my office's computer speakers, I can't feel but connected to this song I'm listening now: "Synchronicity II" by The Police.

Subject matters tackles the day life of an ordinary salary man going through his day. At the same time, something crawls to the surface of a dark scottish loch, as the song says.

While pondering on my strengths and weaknesses, I can only see the conclusion of my own actions based on my angels and my demons.
Two true facets of my personality who are always sitting on my shoulders to whisper in my ear.
In turn, paying more attention to the one to the left or the one to the right has steered my life to this point and time.

Time and motion that never ever stops.
It is I who, always chooses to mentally lock up to a certain time and place.
Looking for something to call "shelter",
Looking for an angel who can forgive my sins - An embrace to smother my soul with warmth.

And who am I to blame for being a weakling? All of my fears are deep rooted in my nerves. They are natural to me.
Why had I to run away from her, if she was not guilty of my sins?
Why had I to attempt to reach a shoulder by crawling on the floor?
Why, oh, why?

Not really a timely entry

   Currently listening: Sagisu Shiro - Marking Time, Waiting For Death  

I've been wondering how intelligent my last posts are, I came to conclusion they're not. No music, no bloopers, no drawings, no bogus poetry, no real content!

Even that so-called "Rally to regain Fionn's Friendship" is on hold. No good at all.

Even my timings are off. I was supposed to write last night, but at the end of the day, my time was gone because I got off late off my job. Dammit, my life is going down the drains because of a job!

So I think I should pledge again, to update on time, update with real content. No If's, No But's.

Period.

Before I go, I want to say I was scanning the interwebs and found I'm missing an important item called ROUND TABLE, Featuring Nino with their hit song "Groovin' Magic".

And here's a YouTube embed with the music. The pictures are around three, but ultimately Who cares? it's Nino, For Great Justice!

And that probably makes the post of this day.

Good night (mexico time) and hope you feel better, dear casual reader.

Joey.

Lookup! The Lockup!

   Currently listening: Dido - Isobel   

I know I've been out for too long.

I've been locked up in my job because there was an audit, so I had no chance to take a peek on the internetz, nor open a small explorer window so I could check what's up outside my office (It was kind of crowded at the office).

Just a little jot to say I'll be updating later on the afternoon. I still have some pictures to post on that A&M Expo. Now it's lunch time, so let's go and tackle that rice bowl already. My stomach is protesting rather strongly.

Laters.

Joey.

If a light cigarette can be just as dangerous as a regular, why do they call them light?

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

The name doesn't say much...

... but the marks on the pistol handle tell other tale...

   Currently listening: Megumi Hayashibara - Successful Mission  

I know I'm late with my report! but I wanted to deal with something before sitting down to write. The second day was way much better, although I was hoping to find a larger amount of stands and maybe one or two food-related ones (as I was hoping someone would come up with the idea of selling Japanese food, just because it made sense). To my dismay there was none such. Good thing I ate before going to the Expo.

I didn't catch the hint until very late, this was the first Anime Convention in the island, so that explains why there was a somewhat low attendance, and the amount of stands was quite low. But there was some fun outlets, nonetheles. There was several trading card stands, modeling figures, a drawing stand, a FanSub group receiving join applications, and the stage was the central attraction when they started the Cosplay contests.

Finally, the voice actor who visited us, was Alfonso Obregón, he's done pretty serious work in the dubbing industry. To start with, he's been dubbing:

In Anime:

• Kakahashi Hatake in Naruto
• Koni in Dotto! Koni-Chan
• Dark Star in Lost Universe
• Jonouchi Katsuya (Joey Wheeler, in Spanish and English versions) in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie

Non-anime roles:

• Bugs Bunny, fourth voice in Looney Tunes and Space Jam
• Silvester (first voice) in The Sylvester and Tweety Myisteries
• Marty the Zebra in Madagascar
• Shrek in Shrek 1, 2, 3-D and The Third
• Fred in Scooby Doo
• Trent in Daria
• Ren Hoek in The Ren & Stimpy Show
• Starscream in Transformers, Beast Wars

Movie roles:

• Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers sequel
• Agent Fox Mulder in X-Files, The Movie (also, the tv series)
• Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) in Rush Hour 2 & 3
• Shorty Meeks in Scary Movie 1 & 2
• Charles Chaplin (Robert Downey Jr.) in Chaplin
• Pee Wee Herman in Big Top Pee Wee
• Alex De Large (Malcolm McDowell) in A Clockwork Orange
• Jerry Seinfield in Seinfield

... and a whole lot more I can't even recognize....!!!!

But the whole thing about going to an anime expo was, of course, hang out with Shiory!!! mwaha ha ha ha!!!!

 
On this one, I was kind of moving while holding the camera and I'm blurry... but what the heck! V powa!

 
...And on this one, an nth try (because I was holding the camera with my left hand instead of asking someone to take the picture for us) my v-sign doesn't come onscreen. bleh.

But maybe that's the fun of it!

Of course, hangin' out with Shiory is what makes all worthy. Even when we were all brigh-faced because there was no air conditioning and the temperature was around 38°C!!!! Friends 4 EVa!

After this, we went to have some chocolate-covered marshmallows and have a drink because the temperature had us sweating for what it was worth.

As soon as I find a workaround a terrible mistake I did while filming the Cosplay contest (I was holding the camera sideways...) I'll post a video about one contestant singing. That was probably the highest point for the contest (after the prizes, of course).

But as for now, it's time to say good night.

So, good night Elmo. Andrea Bocelli's not singing today, so tug yourself into the bed already.

Good nights!
