Finally Here!

One of the things I find most annoying about long plane rides is that you find that everything that you enjoy doing becomes instantly boring after roughly the first 2 hours give or take. Sometimes that can be fine but on a 14 hour flight that can get just a little bit annoying. Fortunately however, those of you who are thinking of flying continental to Japan will be happy to know that there are some nice improvements to the entertainment system. They now feature an "on demand" system that actually has a really wide selection. For once its something on a plane that can actually keep you busy for a decent amount of time. Although i have to say that even regardless I hate planes. I can't sleep on them because I've never had the ability to sleep on a plane Pills don't even work; They just make me groggy. Being Groggy sucks.

Anyway after this 14 hour flight we arrived at Narita Airport where it took us roughly another 3 and a half hours to get to the hotel in Tokyo.

Thank goodness it is well worth the trip out because man after traveling a total of close to 18+ hours, you kind of just want to pass out.

I do love this city and I think for now I'm gonna go to bed so I can comment on it when I'm well rested.

Oh Man

I have to say I'm pretty pumped. Thank you to everyone who came out to see me off on friday night. I really appreciate it and I had no idea. I've never had so much fun being made fun of. Thank you to everyone who help set it up.

I also have to say Thank you to all the BWS guys who came out on the hiking trip. Definitely some good bonding time.

Man you guys have made it so hard for me to leave Jersey seriously!

I'm gonna miss everyone while I'm gone, but I will be reachable and I will be back.

Out of the woods with one week left...

I've finally gotten all of my paper work completed for my trip to the land of the rising sun, and now all that I have left to do is pack. Well at least that is all I have to do that concerns my trip. I still really haven't put much thought into how I'm going to live over there. It's kind of a hard thought to get used to. Because of Airline restrictions I can't really bring much more then my laptop and a big duffel bag full of cloths.

With a week left, it kind of sunk in that I'm not gonna be around Jersey for a long ass time. Which is fine to a point but Jersey does really have some local color which I've grown quite fond of. Such as Diners. I think I'm gonna miss Diners, and My home town is beautiful.

But of course what will be most missed is my friends from Jersey. Damn, 20 years of shenanigans.

March on my home state Hooligans. March on!

Intense Driving

Do you ever have a moment were you just drool over a master piece of engineering. Or you end up staring at something as if it is a gift from god descending from a beam of light that its parting a nice sunny hole in a dark cloudy sky?

This is one car that is completely dominating my list of wants right now. And granted all my little fast and the furious fantasies are sitting in the toy box with my little ninja turtles action figures frankly because in both cases I've somewhat outgrown them. Somewhat.

The new GT-R is the sexiest car I've seen in a long time. I really can't wait to sit in one of these bad boys as I am determined to buy one if its the last thing i do. My one wish is that they will slap the classic blue pain on it but that's honestly something I can live without.

Man this car is fast and if you don't believe me see for yourself just how fast it is.

And look how sexy it is.

Countdown of Everything

I am leaving for Japan in 16 days give or take. The reason it is give or take is because I dug myself into a Visa hole that is just awesome. But this count down has become just one in a list of many that I'm excited about.

The first is movies:

Starting of with the Countdown to The Dark Knight, and if you haven't heard about this you live under a rock, and If you are not excited about it you should stay there. We are now entering a golden era of comic book movies and if you don't think so, then you haven't seen Iron Man or The Hulk yet. Lets Face it, both were awesome and Batman will be too.

Now there are two movies I'm waiting for, but not because I expect good things. Those two are the Dragonball movie Staring Justin Chatwin, and the second is Street Fighter: The legend of Chun-Li staring Kristen Kreuk. Now lets face it, the DragonBall movie has a 99% chance of being complete shit. First of all because the characters just don't have good actor representation, this is not to say that the actors that play these parts are bad, nah far from it. I can't blame anyone for being bad in a role I feel is impossible to play. Every single actor will have to prove that its possible to play the role, even if the role is small and insignificant. However Dragonball Will have excellent special effects because lets face it, CG has gotten good enough to really do any movie.
Street Fighter might suffer from simply poor writing. I mean Kristen Kreuk is hot, and should work as Chun Li. However I will be suprised if this movie is written well.

The second is games:

specifically Starcraft 2, and in addition to that Diablo 3. Blizzard has decided to come back to all the fans of the company that haven't moved on to World of Warcraft. When is either coming out? I have no idea, I don't trust release dates from Blizzard until the game is less then a month away. Both games look like perfect sequals to two already perfect series, and seem to follow the very good guidline of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Which brings me to another game: Deus Ex 3. The third sequal to this game has the tremendous responsability of being at least half as good as the first game, which means it has to be at least 20 times better then the second. But with nothing but a Teaser Trailer out so far there really isn't anything to say about it yet.

And last but not least is Street fighter 4 which looks awesome! No doubts in my mind on this one.

Oh and For you Techies, the iPhone 3G comes out on friday. Enjoy!
