Sorry to open up like this again, but haven’t posted on here in a while. So one of my friends ended up getting a position over at Dark Horse Comics. Similar position to the one I applied for a few months back. I did not get an interview. Looks like they revamped the position a little and reopened it, and it actually prolly fit my qualifications better, but did not apply, and my friend got the job. That’s awesome because if he likes it, then I have an in, and eventually, maybe I can use that as a way to get in.

But the real reason why I haven’t posted in a while is that I’ve taking in a son… Rather, I’m the papa to a pretty cute looking Siberian Husky. I did get him from a breeder which originally I was fairly against, but you just know when you find the right one. And I found him with a breeder in Heppner, Oregon.

As you can gather from the title, his name is Hiro, he’s a siberian husky, and is about 13 weeks. Born February 3, 3 days before my birthday.

I have also been working on a Fiber Optic ceiling for my entertainment room. So lots and lots of stuff been going on. Sure I’ll post more soon

Enjoy Spring, and Summer, the sun is finally out.

So, the other day, took a fresh breath of air, and then walked into the Blood Mobile, and donated a pint of blood. Stephanie and I donated at the same time, and I came out victorious…. Well we both successfully donated a pint of blood each, but we were racing. I finished filling the blood bag at 6 minutes 10 seconds by my count (the assistant had said it was already full though), and Stephanie was around 6 minutes 27 seconds. Long claims that when he donated earlier, he finished around 4 minutes 30 seconds or something.

Ahh well. Good day none the less. But I did get a new scar, which I’m hoping I can keep on top of and hopefully it will reduce and not be noticeable. Anyhows…

Happy Halloween.

Had a delicious lunch over at Kaneko Cafe at the Tokyo International University of America yesterday. Nothing like a good ramen bowl on a cold rainy day. Now today the sun is shining between all the clouds. Actually the nice thing about this rain, is when there is a brief moment when the clouds burn away and you can see the sky, it is really nice to see a dark blue clean sky. As if the pollution and contaminants in the air were washed away.

This morning there was an exceptionally good sunrise. Yet again, rain clouds, but a nice break where the shine just shines through. My hope is that this is a sign for a new day, a new beginning for a lot of people.

Change is in the air, like winter. Can you smell the wood burning? The weather has been crazy lately. But I suppose it’s pretty mild considering. Work, work has been work. And life has been a little stressful. In general I have nothing to complain about. But sometimes do you ever wonder what life would be if things turned out differently?

I certainly do. I’m one of those nice guys. Part of the whole nice guys finish last which is always unfortunate. But it’s who I am. At least I’m not dead last right? O_o But seriously. I’m thinking I need to volunteer somewhere. Dunno where, but somewhere that makes a difference. I really just need to find something that will challenge me. Push me to the edges. Everything is quite stagnate right now, and even though the job is cake, it’s not allowing me to really grow.

But such is life. Good times are ahead though. My brother is coming home for Thanksgiving. He’s been in Hawaii for a long time, and was recently reassigned to Korea. So this holiday season should be pretty good

Oregon does it again. Going from 90* weather to 60s/low 70s pretty much over night. Well Fall is definitely fully in the swing of things, and today, we got a little bit of sun before the monsoon hit. Though in Oregon these puppies only last a few minutes really. Rain can go on for days, but when our monsoons hit, that’s when I seem to find the most relaxation. Always found it peaceful to just think to myself with the sound of rain just outside my window.

And, at least in Oregon, thunder and lightning don’t really come by too often. So today was pretty spectacular for me since I could drive, or just sit by and watch a few decent lightning bolds followed by the roar of Oregon thunder. Though it’s almost gone already, it does manage to relax me.

Alrighty, well for all you unfortunate souls who happen to actually want to come here and find out whats going on. Tonight is the night before I head out to Hawaii. Never been there, but have had family living there for about 4 years now I think. And now that that family is getting ready to head out, I deem it to be the time to get out of the office and try to find something to enjoy in Hawaii. How lame…

But seriously, it should be a good trip. I am borrowing my friend’s Canon 30D, so I’m going to attempt to get a few excellent shots, which I will post here and on my flickr

But all the pros out there will prolly be like, wow he hauled that camera around to take some point and shoot photos. The hope is to prove them wrong and come out with some really nice pictures. I’m also going to try to do a couple video blog entries. Just short and sweet, giving people a quick heads up and a glimpse at the weather. I’ll be there until around May 26. And then it will be back to the mainland. Also keep an eye out on that about page, because I’ll be working on a family history piece, which I found out is actually quite interesting.

So until next time,

Mahalo

Well, haven’t posted in a few days, but thought I’d get everyone in the loop of what I’ve been up to. Busy at work, trying to wrap up this CSI web stuff. Should be pretty fun, I’ll post a link when I have it online. Days are pretty full, and our IT department keeps making things more difficult on us, but we’ll survive. You know, you’re job is to update the website keep it maintained and add fun and dynamic content. But everytime we push on being better and more dynamic, and more interesting we get shut down. And then when we are talking about doing our day to day activities, they tighten it even more. There are probably rumors being spread that we’re doing stuff we aren’t suppose to, even though there’s a business need for us to do things the way we are doing. Well Matias will have a blast when he gets in tomorrow.

So what was the point of this post? Oh ya, the family history. So I’m working on writing up the history of how my family ended up in America. At least my dad’s side of the family. I heard it for the first time, at least to where I can remember, and it was actually pretty interesting. So naturally my version will just add to the dramatization of it all, but it’ll be true. So I’ve been busy gathering information on the time and collecting all the little details I want to include. So I should have this history lesson up before I leave for Hawaii next week. So stay tuned…

Well, it’s been a while since I had a free day at work. Most of the time my calendar is full of meetings and more meetings. Today though, was meeting free. What this does is allows me to actually get stuff done. I’m working on a microsite for a CSI game we have. Really it’s basic trivia or matching. Nothing too crazy, but I’m finally able to sit down and really crank things out. So it’s going well. We just need to keep focused and make things exceptionally awesome.

Right now just working on building Mobile Windows XP keys so that a certain someone can see if she really want’s XP over Ubuntu. Something about Ubuntu I guess doesn’t like working with Microsoft Mobile Devices. More realistically. Microsofts Zune doesn’t work with anything other than Windows… LAME!!! Anyways, gonna hook her up with windows so she can sync her Zune, and also get to ABC.com live streaming of her favorite TV shows.

Secondly tonight. Jesse is suppose to be giving me a call in a few so I can coach him through a couple PHP things. Not sure what extent of help he needs. but we’ll see. My normal way of coaching is really to point people in the right direction. Give them help in searching the web for their answers. Usually works pretty good. Actually I’ve almost taught someone all the PHP they need that way. So We’ll see what he needs, and see if I’m capable of helping him out. I prefer to make things happen. So bring it on.

Well, I’m new to this blogging world, but figured I would give it a shot. The main point of this is to feed into my real website. http://www.tsuki-art.com. So if you are interested in what I do, you can find out there. So sorry for all the default stuff. But hopefully this will look good soon

Cheers.
