Damn You 2012!

To all the people who were glad to say goodbye to 2011 and couldn't wait for 2012 to start I say screw you! I feared that 2012 would be a bad year and thus far it's been pretty fucking shitty. Perhaps those damn Mayans were on to something when they decided to end the calendar this year. All I know is that i'm determined to make this a good year, despite the serious setbacks and beatings i've taken and will probably take for a few months longer. Sigh!

 

In all seriousness though, i'm currently learning some valuable lessons, and one of them is that true friendship is something that you must never take for granted. When the chips are down that's when you see people for what they really are and I feel beyond lucky to have certain people in my life. I've always been the emotionally independent type but sometimes you come across a bump that you simply can't handle by yourself nor should you even attempt to go at it alone. And I didn't. I had to throw in the towel and admit that I needed help, and I seeked it, and I can't tell you how grateful I am for that. I needed someone to hold me still and ground me, and that's exactly what my best friend did for me. And others helped me as well. I got to see complete strangers reach out and show me humanity that I thought no longer existed. But it's there. There are still amazing, wonderful people in this world and to rediscover that is an awesome thing. For several years now i've been someone who had faith and prayed, and this aspect of my life is only getting stronger. I know that there are many who don't believe or are turned off by that, but I simply don't care to cater to anyone's opinion. I know what I believe and nothing or no one will change that. I'm going to continue to fight my way through the crap and with each blow i'm dealt i'm going to punch back. This year is going to end up good GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!

Can't think of what to write or post, so i'll post this photo I took a few days ago. Hehe...

Fujiya & Miyagi

Last night I got to see Fujiya & Miyagi at the Independent in San Francisco. The last time I had gone up to this venue was a few years back, to see Sea Wolf and The Jealous Girlfriends. I remember that time I had trouble finding parking and drove around for almost 30 minutes to find something. This time I was able to find parking when I first got there. It was about 6 blocks away and I could've found something closer, but I was just happy to find available parking.

They opened with Cat Got Your Tongue and played a good set of fun, funky tunes. They played most of the stuff I wanted to hear, including Minestrone, Taiwanese Boots, Yoyo, Tinsel & Glitter, Uh, Knickerbocker and Sixteen Shades Of Black & Blue, which they waited until the encore. The only songs they didn't play which I would've loved to hear were Pickpocket and Dishwasher. Still, it was a good show and a nice start to the year.

Something that was also interesting was when the guy at the door was checking tickets and ID's, he told me that I was the 4th person with the same birthday. I know i'm not the only person that was born on January 1st, but it was funny that there were already 4 of us New Year Capricorns at the show.

I'm over the winter.

The temperatures these last few nights have been in the low 30's. It's supposed to rain in the next couple of days. I know we still have a few months to go before the spring season returns, but I am over this cold weather already. I want it to be warm so I could wear shorts, t-shirts & tank tops. I wanna see guys wearing as little as possible. I want summer fun already. Did I mention I wanna see guys wearing as little as possible? I'll just have to be patient and wait. That's it for now, nothing else to say.

Oh Muriel, you've no dignity!

I just turned 40 and I find that at this age i'm no longer willing to tolerate certain things. This person I knew for almost a decade has been steadily getting on my nerves for at least the last 5 or 6 years of that decade. After spazzing out over absolutely nothing, this person decided to delete me off FB (for the upteenth time) and stop talking to me over something completely stupid and immature. Per usual, after about a month I start getting random texts from this "friend" here and there, like nothing ever happened. Well i'm now a 40 year old man and have no time for this 12 year old shit! I basically have been ignoring every text and desperate attempt by this dumbass to contact me. This dumbass is so predictable that i'm able to predict every move. I told others that I was going to get a text on my b-day, and surely enough, that's exactly what happened. The next attempt will be sending me a random photo of something related to Godzilla, Ultraman, or some other hobby that i'm into to try getting my attention. I just know that's what's going to happen, and i'm going to continue ignoring and not bothering to reply. What's pathetic is this person's lack of dignity! You made an ass of yourself and after receiving silence from your contact attempts, it should be clear to you that this person is no longer interested in bothering with you. When someone walks out of my life I lift my arm and wave goodbye, then go about my business. I will not waste time trying to force someone to stay. I just don't understand how some people can lack such dignity and self respect that they'll continue to try worming their way into someone's life after it's clear that this person has written them off. I still have an ex who will attempt to contact me every few years or so. It's sad how pathetic people can be. But that's THEIR problem, not mine. All I can do is continue to surround myself with happy, positive people, and kick the party poopers, whiners and buzzkills to the curb.

Happy New Year!

As this year comes to a close I find myself not saying that i'm glad this year is over, as many others that I know have been saying. I feel lucky because 2011 was a good year for me. I had a lot of good times and memories and really got to enjoy life. As I say goodbye to this year I can only hope that 2012 will be as equally awesome. I keep my fingers crossed that no bad luck will come my way. And if it does i'll bitch slap it until it scurries away crying. I have no New Year's Resolutions, other than to continue being happy, continue learning, continuing being open to new experiences, and continue enjoying the good moments and be thankful for what I have. The end of the year also has me saying goodbye to the 30's. I still find it hard to believe that i'm going to be 40 years old. The 30's were for the most part a good decade for me. I learned a lot but most importantly I learned how to be happy person and enjoy what life has to offer. However much longer I have on this planet I plan on making the best of it.

 

May 2012 be filled with more fun, more joy, more tattoos, and more hot men.

Cute Toys

I recently picked up some cute toys at my local Japanese store Kinokuniya. One was a little green Android figure. Since I got me an Android phone I figured this toy would be a good addition to my collection. It's basically a cute little green robot.

The others are Tokidoki Unicorns. They come in unmarked boxes so you never know which one you'll get. There were 2 in particular that I wanted, a black one with red eyes named Fumo and a light blue one with a mowhawk named Pogo. I ended up with Pogo but haven't gotten Fumo yet. I also got some other ones that are way cute. Their names are:

Top from left to right: Stellina and Bellina. Bottom row from left to right: Dolce, Pogo, Ritmo and Mooka. Tokidoki makes cute toys and figures, as well as clothes and make-up. The little skull & crossbones heart design on Pogo's butt is the same design I have tattooed on my right arm.
