I've been procrastinating this blog for about a week now so I apologize, I apologize for my lack of updates and the tardiness of this over anticipated blog:P I am over exicted over a Smash tourney (which I'll explain later) So I can't sleep, Its now 4 am and I still haven't gotten any slee which is why I decided to finish this massive blog. THIS IS A HUGE BLOG AND I WILL NOT UPDATE FOR A WHILE ( I may never actually) SO JUST READ WHAT YOU CAN OR WHAT YOUR INTERESTED IN AND COME BACK LATER FOR MORE....Because Its so Big I have to break it up into segments or chapters if you will:
1) My Graduation
2) The Smash tourney
3)My Summer
4) College
5) Rest of my Life
My Graduation -
Not alot of people here on GS know this, but as of June 2nd PST I graduated from high school. The spectacular part is not that I graduated while still failing one class, AP LA ( I refused to do the work) anyone can do that but I graduated as a Junior while still failing one CLASS!!! I graduated high school at the age of 16 and I feel Great :P For those of you who don't know I will be Turning 17 this August, Guess when's my Birthday? 8390 LOL. I did in three years what takes most 4 years and some 5 ...LOL R-Tards. J/K.
So I would Like to thank the AP Board for your treacherous classes that gave me extra cradits, My AP LA teacher who sued the school and fixed the credit system giving me three extra credits (liked the teacher, just hated the class and work), to Jostens, the company that manuefactured my cap & gown, a 60 dollar piece of SH!T That I will never use again, CAUSED ME TO SWEAT AND STINK Before the dinner I had at a hotel ( I bought a new shirt on the way :P) and to all the people who gave me money after graduation making the topic I'm about to discuss next possible, not like they'll ever read this but they deserve recognition none the less...and to My mom who couldn't be there, R.I.P :)
OH !...
And ofcourse all my friends here at GS who gave me a reason to procrastinate my work, Thank you!:P
The Smash Tourney -
Ahhh Smash, the king of all Fighters, a game that can be played casually as a brawler with friends or an Extremly deep and strategic 1 on 1 fighter, how I love you. I have wanted to organize a huge local tourney since last year but It seemed that flying to Japan (closer than the US main land, bout 2 hours away) was a cheaper solution and with the aid of sponsers, me and my three friends were able to do so. It was exciting even if it lasted for only a week. I got to meet Captain Jack (one of the best Japanese Smashers) and roam the streets of the Famous Akihabara prefecture, known as the anime and gaming capital of Japan.
So this year, with the generous "contributions" ^_^ that people have given me, which will mostly go into renting the Hilton Convention hall, I will hold a none profit Smash tourney That will be a BLOW OUT "going Away" party FOR SSBM and a HUGE kick Start of for Nexts years tourney Which will feature Brawl... If all goes well we can see this going on every year, a huge devlopement in the gaming community where I live :wink:
Me and my friends will be organizing the event starting next week and it is scheduled for the third weekend of July. It will be a two day event, a double elimination tourney with the Winners bracket on Day 1, Losers Bracket on day 2 and Finals on day 2. The 1st place winner will recieve 500 Dollars :shock: with the 2nd place either choosing a Wii prize pack or 300 dollars, the 3rd place winner would recieve which ever the 2nd place winner did not choose and 4th and remaining have not yet been discussed.
I would gladly record the Final matches if anyone could suggest a easy way to digitally record them in good quality.
My Summer -
Besides the Smash tourney my summer is pretty lame :P I'm gonna apply for a job at at computer outlet next week, I know I'll get hired and the pay is pretty good. Also a plus is that they run the local "Gamecon" so maybe they can help Sponser and run the tourney While I ownz it and take the Money :lol:
Depending on my sisters finances, I might be able to follow her to Hawaii to attend her Doctoral Classes at Argosy university, Its a yearly class but they are require to visit the campus for 3 weeks a year. Might be interesting I can go. My sister is telling me to go to Arizona and Visit my Dad, who I never really liked but ..IDK..Anyways I have to apply for alot of scholaships to make sure I can afford college when I leave this fall..Still haven't decided on whic college to go to...
What I would really like is for The Legend of Legacy Union to get back on its feet, I met alot of fun and great people there and now its totally dead, Ima spam peoples Inbox till they post!!!!!! LOL..but about my summer..i guess I don't have much to say, i usually just go with the flow
College -
As of now I feel Ill-prepared for college, mostly because I got out early when I did'nt expect it. A MIRACLE!! they told me 2 weeks before graduation. I only got accepted to 2 colleges so far and thats Utrecht in Netherlands and Stanfordm in Cali...both very good schools. Stanford is VERY expensive, Utecht has a VERY resonable tuition and Its in Europe!!! Although I might have to learn some Dutch to complete some classes. @ Mastersword, If I do go, we might be able to get that Melee Match after all ^_^
As for my goals, I'd like to major in computer science with a side major in Japanese, a feat that could easily be accomplished by going to Japan but it's too expensive to live there unless you are already established. Japanese Universities are very pretigious and for me as a "minority" coming form a small island almost no one has heard of, its easy for me to get into Pretigious colleges in the US because they need Diversity which is different from Japan who kinda discourages outsiders.
So..I'm kinda screwed there. If any one has some advice or resources they can offer or give to me that would be very helpful.
Rest of my Life -
If I can successfully accomplish my goals Everything would be smooth sailing from there. My dream job would be as a translator or Localist working for Nintendo either in the tech or Software department. NOA or NOJ would be fine as long as i work between the two of them. I'd like to live in Japan for a while, which is close to my home so no prob maybe even own some real-estate in US WEST! Another dream of mine would be to travel Europe from Sweden down to Greece and visit every place between...I probably would like to settle down with a family right back here were I grew up but still be able to move between the US, Japan and here..
Well thats about it for Now ..I hope that was enough Blog to satify you for a while LOL... Thanks you to anyone and everyone who read and will read this blog that took me so much time to write. My activity in the blogs has been icreasing lately so If you post I'll most likely notice you and post when i see your blog... Thanks again
And ENJOY YOUR SUMMER EVERYONE!! WOOHOOO!!!
