By life, I mean my senior year of high school. Meh, just doing work and playing video games. I've also noticed that school is worlds more boring without a girlfriend; of course, this is my own opinion. I'm also knee deep in the whole college application process, which is moderately stressful.

I cannot wait for the abundance of games coming this fall and spring, especially for Modern Warfare 2. I'm also highly anticipating Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (Although, I am aware that it could end up being awful). To be honest, I think I'm most excited for Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver. They're not coming out for quite a while, but I've always been a huge fan.

Also, I'd like to add that WoW is amazing. I'm currently PvPing on my pally with lots of real life friends, as well as improving my PvE holy set, which is already quite good (good enough for Ice Crown when it comes). I've also joined a PvE guild on my hunter, which is highly skilled. I just bought dual speccing on him a few days ago, and he now pulls around 5k dps in MM. Ahhh, it's the good stuff.

But yeah, life. Schmeh.

I've been here for quite a while, so I thought it was about time I showed you guys my gaming station. Its located in my room, and its stocked with quite a lot of goodies. Enjoy and let me know what you think, the link is below. Sorry for looking kind of wiped out, I filmed this at 5 am because I can't fall asleep.

When I was in Beijing I met this really awesome girl. Her english name is Rosiland, and I'm not even going to bother telling you guys her Chinese name.Unfortunately, after three weeks there I had to leave. I gravely miss her and after a lot of talking we've decided to have a long distance relationship. When I say long distance, I mean REALLY long distance. I live in Washington DC, and as I said, she lives in Beijing. Luckily our feelings are strong enough that we think we can do it. She just got a web cam and a mike for her computer, so things won't be so bad. As a bonus, emphasis on a pretty awesome bonus, she plays video games. Her favorite one right now is Final Fantasy III for DS, and she is excited for FFIV. She has a PSP and DS. Better yet, I've been taking Chinese for two years, and she has been taking English for four years. Talk about motivation for the both of us. At the latest I will come back to Beijing next summer, but its aninetypercent chance that I will be back before then. She is also trying to come state side on an exchange program. Basically, this girl is awesome, and I've never had a stronger connection with any other girl in my life. Things will be rough, but I can take it. I know I can.

UPDATE: I went back to the United States and knew things wouldn't last. There are too many nice girls here who were disappoint to know I was "taken". But in all seriousness, I decided that our long distance relationship, well, was a tad bit too long. So, so I dumped her, and she took it really badly. I felt really bad for a while but things are okay now.

I just wanted to tell everyone to go see Iron Man. I went into it thinking it wasn't going to be very good, but the guys at Marvel gave me the surprise of a lifetime. I really loved the movie and it hit the nail on the head. Definitely go out and see this one

I liked the movie so much that I had an urge to make this picture once I had left the theater. I have a higher resolution version inside. Tell me what you think

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, the burning soul of a man's passion! This anime was simply amazing! Its definitely one of my favorite anime if not my favorite. It does have a rather slow start and the anime's feel completely changes throughout the series. All it does it get better and better and then give's the best ending to an anime I've ever seen. The character development is great and they are just simply lovable. Its definitely classified as an Action/Comedy anime but becomes more and more serious as it progresses. It does have mechs but I don't know if I would call it a mecha. You can just trust me on this one and watch it, its something truly special. An anime like this doesn't come too often!

Note: I don't want to even say what the story is about because the way it starts is vasty different from the way it progresses and ends. Just trust me and watch the whole thing
