EPISODE: 6 "mood"

Posted content.

A grind to the finish.

Seems I have not got to worry anymore, I will not be going to China.
I'm not as annoyed about it as I thought, I've got less to think about now.

Episode 6: The great divide.

Ok so as you've noticed in post dates, I've been doing things this week and mostly forgot or remembered too late, to fill my blog, with the lack of comments I can never tell if anyone reads these or not, and if you do I apologize for my lack of recent updates.

At this moment I'm at a huge juncture at my life.

I have the forms ready to send off to become a Retained fire fighter, I am in the process of finalizing my business, but while all this is happening, I have something burning at the back of my mind, and thats China.

You see for a while now I've been considering going to China and living with monks and learning Shaolin Kung fu. Seems rather extreme, its not just for the martial arts that I want to go, I feel time is our life, and we are a in the sea of time, as time progresses its like swimming agents a current, at the start you can handle it, maybe swim quite easily, but as the tide changes, it gets faster and I'm fully aware that I might still be considered young (26) but I know that at some point I'd like a family and waiting until anything later than 35 is a bit risky, so, I plan to do everything I wanted to before then.
I have a chance to go this September and live with monks, why September? Well another friend of mine is also going, and having someone there that can talk Chinese and somebody to anchor me to reality would be very important.
To go, Costs £3,000, I have very little, I might be able to reach that sum MAYBE if I sold everything I own, but then I'd return to nothing.
I'm not saying I have material needs but I have some sentimental ones, and thanks to my memory loss I like to remember what I can (Reefer to my other blog called memory, its in the left hand side bar).

So I WANT to work as a fire fighter but only if I cant get the cash for China, I want to set my business up properly, but only if I cant get the funds for China.
See the hold up?
I have to make some sort of educated decision, I know that getting the funds is next to unlikely, but I also believe its my destiny to go there, so I'm wondering if I have to hold back on my other projects or just go with the flow!


What do you readers think you would do?

*EDIT*
Make sure to check out the weekly comedy videos, Placed at the VERY bottom of the page :D(maybe I should place at top?

*EDIT-EDIT*
Tried the top but it displays weird, so it will always be the bottom, or maybe side bar, what do you think?

Episode 5: yesterday, today.

"I quickly made this last night, I wanted ot jazz up a graduation picture, graduated a few weeks back, its far from perfect but the tiny amount of time I spent of it was enjoyable if nothing else."

"So glad I'm out of uni, its full of some of the nicest people and some of the pavement scum, like to forget a lot of people from that place, anyway, I got what I set out to achieve and worked damn hard for it, a lot harder than some."


Ok I'm writing about yesterday, since I missed the chance to post, I'll fill you guys and gals in.

Anyway, yesterday well... Its hard to remember back then but I remember working most of the day, getting some amazing results and then during the hard work, dale returned from the shops with beer!

"Dale walking around like a left 4 dead zombie"


After Dale brough me Beer, I thought "Hmmm the Airconditioner is always pumping out very VERY cold air... beers need to be cold...hmmm"

"BEHOLD! The Air con beer cooler!"


After beer, we walked to the arcade and I watched Dale lose all his money trying, yet again, yo win yoshi, I filmed it but really can't be arsed to upload the video.

We came back, and Played Warzone2100 until 3am, one match, we were so close to being beaten, and at one point I thought that dale would /rage quit, however I showed him what determination could achieve, and we won!

Then I slept as as I laid in Bed shouted "BLOG!...shit..."
(I'm aware the above sentence makes no sense, I left it unedited because it made me laugh)

So its not super eventful since I had work, I'll update later today to get back on track, peace.

EPISODE 4: Chaos emeralds, War, Heat and Grabber machine rage.

Yo, Its me, I've had an ok day, weekends are always unproductive, but thats how I plan them.

Woke, did the usual morning rituals that most people do, no interesting food related challenges were thrown at dale (He's here until Tuesday I believe) And instead spent the morning playing some Xbox and sobbing at my lack of roast dinner from parents.
(Every Sunday my parents invite me and my flat mate/best friend, Michelle, over for some home cooked lovely yummy roast dinner action, I also get to see my cat Beatrice, or BB as I call her, and as well as fattening her up, I also get to see the chickens and walk around a beautiful garden, a productive garden too mind you, potatoes, runner beans, butternut squash, tomatoes, 3 different apple trees (one is cooking apples), raspberries and of course the chickens laying eggs, its really a garden you can live off (I tend to get a lot of produce just because my parents cant eat it all!).

anyway, no delicious amazing home cooked roast this week since my parents were doing something out, I don't know what, probably driving somewhere and complaining about the insane amount of tourists that reside in Wells(the town, not actual wells as in water ones) at the moment.

So no roast freed up some time, some time to be lazy, play some Xbox and chill out with my hombre Dale.
After losing what few strands of sanity I had on street fighter 4, we then all went out to the arcade, I plaid the 2p slots trying to win small tacky teddies, then looked in awe as there was, in real life, all 8 chaos emeralds (plastic gems, but huge, like HUGE!)
To acquire a said giant amazing win gem, you have to gather 5 other gems that are in the 2p pusher machine, they are at the back of the slots so you'd need to put a lot in to win one, just one, getting 5 is damn expensive and trying to get enough to get ALL the chaos emeralds would be very very difficult.
Still want them...

After that I watched Dale lose his temper with a teddy grabber, he had put £5 in trying to win a plushy yoshi, but to no avail, actually the only productive or amusing moment that happened in the arcade was when at the top of his lungs dale shouts "BE NICE TO ME!!" to the teddy grabber.

After that little GEM of happiness ( see what I fucking did there?! DID YOU!!) We headed back home, where I sat and ate a roast dinner we cooked. it was ok actually.

Afterwards, we Spent a long time setting up Himatchi virtual lan and played some awesome Warzone 2100, it was good fun!

We failed hard to get dungeon keeper 2 to work on my PC and then decided to call it a night, tomorrow is back to work, and get my productive face on!
Tomorrow I promise to upload a picture or two from my graduation day, will be worth a few laughs!

Ok before I sleep, I wanted to just say one more thing, it will won't be relevant to everyone, so if your like "huh whats this even mean" I apologize.





Song of the day: "Goodnight by Kitsune^2" (Remixed from duck tales track "The moon" on the NES)

Episode 3: Xbox, Super powers and Long island iced tea!

Today has been quick, not a lot of content to comment really.

Woke up to Dale complaining about daytime TV, and promptly challenged him for what I call "The morning 8 box attack of the north star!"

This means you need the following, a huge bowel, CHECK, a hungover dude (Dale) CHECK and happen to have a 8 box mini cereal variety pack, unopened, CHECK!!

Pour all 8 cereals into the huge bowel, mix, apply milk, and let the challenge begin!!
Needless to say, Dale failed with only a half a cup of milk or so left and collapsed to the floor in shame (Rightly so!!).
(check "Dale purchase" photos in Facebook and you'll see the mountain of sugar induced coma, that was the mighty 8!!)

Then We set up and plaid on the Xbox he had given to me, Plaid Red dead redemption and basked in laughter as I watched a drunk, then I punched a horse, and killed a few people before realizing I was in no frame of mind for a long play game.
So we switched to "King of fighters" and after I plaid what I think might be one of the slowest fighting games in history we changed to "Blaze Blue"...

I'll have to stop a second Dale just shouted from the living room, "Errrgguhghug(something like that) followed by "stupid fucking stupid cheating game stupid fuck".. made me laugh.

Then after "Blaze Blue" We plaid Street fighter 4 and again watched in awe as I failed hard at pulling off Vegas somewhat insane pattern to unleash his ultimate move... raggggeeee lobster fist!!.

Ok so after that, Headed to the arcade and busted my ass off on some DDR, since with guests round not had time to do my normal workout, so just doing what I can.

After DDR, not a lot happened, watched some bad TV, no idea why, then Did little things on my PC, now eating half a Pizza since in my new health plan I try to cut food intake down, so chop pizzas into sections then just heat individually when needed saving cooking a whole pizza!

After a break at home me and dale went for a walk, I explained what the tourists were doing "Gilling or crabbing" (Basically fishing for crabs, no innuendos please!)
Then sat and did the generic "talk about really heavy subjects" thing, like human race, death, and crab battles.

Relevant song:



Now drinking a "long island iced tea", "How do I make one?" I hear you ask, ok

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+make+a+long+island+iced+tea



So, sitting here, drinking the iced tea, eating a little pizza debating if I should go out tonight, if I do I'll have to get my drinks bought for me again as I'm poor, good job some people like me enough to get me them or I'd be sober all the time!


Just one more thing, What do YOU the readers, think I should add to the blog, any features that you think I might be missing?

Peace.

EPISODE 2: Buddha Beer, Norwich, Xbox and Pirates.

Ok, Today has been interesting, Woke up and watched some rather bland TV and realized that TV is essentially you staring at a plastic box, occasionally laughing or whatever throughout the duration of the experience.

Problems with that are:

A) Very counter productive

B) Have adverts every 5 seconds telling me why I'm inferior, ugly or need a product to "enhance" my life. (Most of this is just shit, advertised shitly and adding phrases like "hydro active" to beauty products, Hydro active, what so it works with water... how very clever, we send a man to the moon and you creat something that either contains or reacts with water... like salt...)

C) In most cases TV results in no movement, so you get no exercise.

So anyway, the reasons I'll watch TV are:

A) Bad dramas (if SO insanely bored that I can't sleep but need to put my life on hybernate for a little while)

B) Documentaries, I love learning stuff, mainly about the world, the planet earth series is amazing.

"Caves" (There was a full length video on youtube but I could only find a 5 part one, enjoy)


C) To play video games, almost as bad but not as counter productive.

Anyway after TV I travelled to Norwich:

View Larger Map
And picked up, Rizel, or Dale, however you know him.
We ate a BK (mine was gross, my body is rejecting fatty foods now :( ) and traveled back home.
I was given an Xbox, Rizel had bought the new sparkley one last night and decided to kindly give his old one to me, I appreciate it very much since I've never had one, a bunch of games to borrow and a massive stack of unmade pirates.

What pirates TCG is:
http://piratesonline.station.sony.com/


Anyway its a strategy game where you construct ships form cards, so that was a welcome sight, more ships to make!

And lastly, and I don't know how I forgot to mention this, but we also bought some beer from Asda in Norwich, A beer called "Lucky" Its a Chinese imported beer, where the bottle is shaped like Buddha!! (and as some might know, I'm somewhat a neo Buddhist)

It tastes good, but we are about to go polish off a lot of bottles of "Sol" too, so I thought instead of waiting for illegible typing of the drunk nature, I thought I'd post now!

So I might reply later if I'm not too drunk.


ONTO THE BEERS!!

Episode 1: Discovery

The winds blow strong, as one world died another was born (Replace the word, "World", with "Blog") in the flames of destruction came the seeds of creation, and thus, this world was born.

Hey, its me, Kikojui, I know its been too long since the last posts, and rather than trying to bring back what is now a mere shell of a blog back to life, I thought, as in a lot of things in life a fresh start, a rebirth, was in order. I cast the old blog into the murky depths of the Internet, and fabricated a lifeline to those that wish to browse the post's of old, the links can be found to the left.

Anyway, a new start, and this means more than just frequent updates (daily), it also means posts won't be as pointless, I want to engage the readers while not only trying to teach people my own distorted views on this life, but also take in what I can learn form others to increase my knowledge and better myself.

Current underlying Plots:
If you see these titles, you know what its about with this less than handy guide:


"Strength of body"
My Quest to make my body fitter, healthy and stronger, so any mention of this plot is related to this subject.

"The Business Warlord"
In the later stages of setting up my own business in digital art, graphic design and web design.

"Quest for enlightenment"
I'm currently trying to raise three thousand pounds so that I can fund a year long stay with shaolin monks, to better my body and mind.

"A Guards Tale"
My RPG game that I've been working on for a few years now, coming on good.

"Winds of Fate"
This is basically on about my general quest for happiness and achievements in life.

ok, so now we are clear, I'll look forward to posting tomorrow!



TODAYS POST:
"The Business Warlord"

Been working on a clients work most of the day, had good results, only bad thing is that I had no time to really exercise today and I can't make a habit of not doing that!

Since my last posts, some 8 months ago, I've been working on this business "Rocket Punch Design" and also my game "A Guards Tale", both have undergone a huge amount of working and reworking, I'm the kinda guy to make something, then rework it maybe even alter concepts until what I have is nothing short of refined perfection!

I still keep active on Facebook, mainly because with my working out and working in general I rarely see anyone, so I use it as my hub of conversation, that and Skype and MSN of course, Skype is preferred since I can work and talk at once.

So life's been dull really, I like the changes my body is going through thanks to the exercising, and appreciate the benefits I've had since I've changed my diet, stopped smoking and generally dragged myself out of the dirt... maybe there is hope for me yet!

Video of the day is also the song of the day:

"Passage D" by "The flashbulb"



Comments always welcome, and often referred to if interesting.
