Yeah, yesterday was the site fulfilling it's purpose of keeping friend's up to date on things that others might not know about. Sorry if you were left confused. Now on to the fun stuff! I recently and randomly got an email from an employee of one of the bigger Mac...

History Repeating
I can't believe I'm getting screwed over again by the same goddamn shit! Is there anyone out there that isn't absolutely terrified of living!?!? P.S. - Happy fucking Valentine's Day
Kumate-Sensei’s Got a Handle on the Situation
Kumate-sensei comes up to his desk with a box the other day and dumps out an armload of handles. You read that right, handles. Wondering what the hell a pile of rubber handles could possibly be used for, I take the initiative and ask him what he's up to this time. He...
Sweep the knee!!
I, for one, am sure glad that the cover for the Karate Kid DVD box set here in Japan made sure to prominently feature Ralph Macchio getting his sorry ass beat by the Evil Karate gang. Nothing like capturing the essense of your story's hero for the sake of selling...
