American politics are driving me nuts, its almost like I just want to move to France and be free of the American prototype. This is a strong statment because I am an extremly partriotic man. I would die for this country, I would gladly be drafted as well, to save and protect this countrys future and prosparity.

Now then, the topic I really wanted to get into is the fact that I think that there is a new Reform on the horizon. I am speaking of reform on the level of that of the 1890's-1910's then the reform of the 1920's-30's, this as you know happens several other times at the 40's-50's and the 60's-70's. We have been without one in quite awhile and they usualy come like clockwork. The country itself is going to change I can taist it. I am not really sided with any canidate, I'm so far leaning a little bit tward McCain, and far away from Obama. I just don't know yet. My theory so far is that the democrats will keep this neck in neck fight to the point where we have a party break and that leads us into a three party system next election (Kind of like when Theodore Roosevelt was a runner for the Progressive Party). Now I wish this to happen to spice things up really. I want to see change in the USA system. I just want something new. I want this war to end, but not so suddenly, it needs to be finished. Although a different opinion could be found on the streets. The change is comming as the 60's-70's movement as we start to see Anti-War protesters (Not in full force yet that is). Allong with the oh so present Global Warming thing thats going down. This is what I think is where we are headed, for the better or for the worse.

PS: Please not Anti-anything comments! I don't want American Bashers or Bush Bashers, not even anti war people. Just share what you think.

Hello every one! Welcome back to my Blog!

To start I want to share that my Package is soon to be shipped to Korea, I just have to decide one thing. What should I sew out of the fabric I got? Now I was thinking a pillow, but I only have an 8"x8"x8" box. So I was thinking I should sew a handbag or something along those lines, please give me some ideas! I don't know what I should sew!! I have placed several objects in the box so far, I just have to run by the USPS office to check out the mail regulations to South Korea. I hope everything can be shipped without having to pay import taxes.

As most of you know I've been trying to find myself a good game for my computer thats not extremely pricey or demanding. I've held myself for the last few weeks by playing every major Half-life game including Blue Shift and Opposing Force. I have also tryed that "Peggle Extream" game that comes with the Orange Box and to tell you, its pretty good. Any Ideas any one? I may have to just spend the extra amount of money and get Crysis or Call of Duty 4, either way I was not wanting to spend that much for a game to carry me over. Please though before you give me some game Ideas, check my games list, Most of the ones you told me about before I own.

Next weekend marks me field trip with the school to San Diago, It should be pretty fun. We are hitting up most of the main aquariums for Marine Science so we get the behind look of it all. So thats that on the travel listings.

Lets see... No new movies really, I did catch "Kicking it old school" last night, and I'll have to say at the start I feared the worst. But as the movie went on it was not that bad. So I was pretty happy about that. Its pretty cool if any of you people are movie fans who will watch about anything.

Other then that I'm done rambling for now! I'll talk to you all soon, and thanks for stopping bye!

To start I've been getting very sick of that old Flash banner, only reason its there is because it looked better then the black... So if any one wants to submit a new one that has the same AZN feel of my profile feel free!

I've been on and off the internet in the last week, Cox Cable who I get my internet from has been having outages every other day this week, I was without internet for almost 48 hours around Thursday. So that has really cut into my gaming, as well as my final good bye to that once great site stage6.com. I will miss it so!

Oh will you look at the time, I must be going, I'll see you all later!

Hahaha! Its about time eh? I finaly got around to changing them out! So happy birthday every one!

I promis to bring the change quicker from now on, a couple of months or so!

YeAh! This weekend was a great vacation from my daily life, I had quite the time. I hung around and did stuff on a mountain.

The main highlight of the weekend was where I slept on saturday night. The people we got a cabin that we could sleep in, heated and warm. There was a blizzard coming that night, so... I dug a snow cave outside the cabin and slept in it! Wahahahahahaha!!

It took about three hours to get the main bulk of it done, it was about two and a half feet tall, and about 6 foot by 6 foot. There where two enterances, one at the foot, and one at the front. That night, I threw in my gear and crawled in in the prone position. At first it was freezing but it started to warm up really fast. It was a great time to test out my new sleeping bag and thermal pad I had gotten a few weeks before. My bag was radiating heat, it was awsome, maybe it had to do with the fact it was a 15˚F bag. It got so warm around my bag that the roof started to melt about two hours in, so the top of my sleeping bag got soaked! However the inside of my bag was dry and warm, and stayed like that through the night. At about 12 at night the wind really started to pick up, and we where getting the main bulk of the white out, The cold gush of winds comming inside froze the melting roof to a solid sheet of ice, so melting was not a problem any more, but stopping the wind was. Using an extra tarp, my aquantance Louis jumped out diring the night and fixed the entrances, keeping the snow and main rush of air out (We have to leave some for air you know!). It was quite the night. It truly was fun!

In other news, any one got any recommondations for a new PC game?

Funny title, and funny blog to go with it. Lets just start with a little boycott of the Gamestop located at the Galleria Mall here in Henderson Nevada. Don't do it, so all you Local Las Vegans, don't go!

It all starts with a manager who hates me, why? Because I go there to much... He has given me insulting nicknames and made my shopping there a living hell. When is the only time when he is nice? When I'm buying from him... So if you like me don't patronize this mans store! Even better call and complain!!!!!

I've had some problems in the past with this store. The only reason I kept going was the fact it was right down the street. Now lets go over some of the other things they did that was just wrong...

1.) I pre-ordered a game called "Dewy's Adventure" they game was not all that great, I just wanted the plush doll that was bundled with the pre-order. Now when I ordered I was informed, that I was able to get the doll as soon as it came in, and I could pick up the game at any other time! After getting a hint that it came in. I ventured in and asked for the doll. They turned me down stating "I had to pick it up with the game to ensure the sale." I'm a common customer and have never failed to pay up... so what the hell is this all about... Pisses me off! So I had to pick up that game the same time I bought my World In Conflict. Not to mention this game is for the Wii, and I had to buy it before I got my Wii...

2.) Bioshock pickup day was a very exiting day for me! I could not wait to install it on my PC! Not to mention get my lovely figurine installed in my computer case. On pickup I was given a broken one and was told to send in a form to get the replacement figurine in the mail. Not being the guy to argue, I just gave the ol' "Yeah, what ever, I just want to get out of here." I did not get me replacement until January. The long delivery is not there fault. But the broken one is...

3.) I pre-ordered Hellgate: London almost a year before it came out. I was so ready! Unfortunatly the game came out at a bad time for me. You know why (Why I've been gone from here for so friken long!). Well I failed to pick it up. Lets digress for a moment shall we? When I picked it up I was informed that it was not to be sold seeing that it was the collectors edition. They would hold at least one copy for me. So when I failed to pick it up they called and told me that the first one they held, they sold, however they still had another copy they would hold for me. I was still to busy to pick it up, this and my PC was dead at this time as well. So in January I was given a call saying that they still had my copy and where asking when I would pick it up. I told them when I had time for I had a lot going on at the moment, but I assured them. I would in fact pick up the game. Today was that day I was going to get the game. Finally! I repaired my PC and got all "un-busy." So I was going to go get it! When I got there they told me they did not have it... not just that but they sold that copy within the first 48 hours of the street date. WTF IS THIS?! I was outraged! The main manager was not there (you know Mr. Evil Hating Man?) so I tomorrow I am going to go in and either demand my game or my cash back. Store credit is not an option! I will get thrown out of the mall to get my way, this guy messed with the wrong geek!

Hellgate was the last straw, I absolutly refuse to patronize this mans store!! Everyone if you support me tell everyone you know that lives in the Las Vegas Valley not to shop there. Go to another store! I am spreading the word on blogs and websites as well as spoken. Not to mention the wave of phone calls I'm going to start making along with e-mails. Like I said, they messed with the wrong guy!

Thanks for your support!

-Trey Takahashi

P.S. I'm not saying that all Gamestop/EB's are bad, just this one! I know some of you work at these stores, and I support you! So don't think I'm hatting the whole chain of stores! Thanks for your understanding!

I had something I wanted to share with everyone. On Saturday my ol' computer mentor passed. He died of a heart attack.

He was in the man who got me my first own personal computer, along with help me learn it inside and out. He was helping me learn to code in delphi. Its quite sad indeed. He was a computer wiz! I worked for him, to build his computers and help put together some programs he was working on (You see he was blind). I played the roll of his eyes, he informed me on what codes to punch and how to do things. He will be missed!

He was one of the biggest wiz' I have know, he had been in the computer field since the first punch card computers. He knew every microsoft OS front to back, and knew just about every computer language you could think of.

I've got a big bag of pairs. WAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No really, hows every one been doing? Expect these leaves, because there happening. Try again in the summer... Come to think of it I'm going to be gone all summer of different vacations. Well I guess just talk to me and I'll talk to you ASAP. I wish this site had e-mail notification!

I've not been up to much in the recent. Writing editorials all day, and eating fruit. I think a little to much fruit... seeing I've been eating little of any thing else. Apples, Pears, Lychee, Mangos, Pineapples, Japanese Pairs, Grapes, Black Berries, and lets not forget the Bananas! Thats about it for now, really. I've also been working on my website, as well has helping to create graphics for some t-shirts for that trek I'm going on this summer. One of the reasons I wont be here.

I rebuilt my PC as well as got all my Mac's running. My PC is in full working order so feel free to contact to play some games. Easy way to get a hold of me is on steam and/or xfire. PM me for my Steam ID and my xfire is on my page. So its really not that hard. Umm... Have not been playing any real new games. I installed shogun total war again, seeing I cannot find my Disc one for my Rome Total War, which is quite dissapointing!! Yeah so then, just feel free to PM me or just IM me on xfire for online play. I got loads of games!

On the penpal front, I got two actual letters from people. One being a small package. I would post pictures but I don't want to post addresses. I'll put them up later when I feel like editing the pictures. There really neato' Both are from Korea. Which brings me onto another subject.

I'm pissed at USPS when It comes to international mail.... I've lost two F@#$ing letters going over seas! TWO! I know this for I have sent them out in early December. And no one receaved them. I sent another batch out to other people in early January, and people got them! Damn you USPS! Also another subject thats driving me nuts is International Package shipping! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CHARGE $120+ For a 5"x5"x5" 5lb package!!! WTF?!?!!? Its about the same for all services, USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Not to mention, EMS for packages coming to me from Asia are costing an arm and a leg! Ending rant now...

Lets see... New avatar is not coming any time soon, I lost all my 10+ gb/s of .gif images, as well as 200+ gb/s of videos. It was my own stupid fault for rushing backup and formating drives. I should have used my other externals for backup! Note to self stop using that damn pocket drive, nothing but trouble! So every one, wait for a month or so until I get a new video to rip from. Unless you want an old one, which i don't think you do.

No new products bought, I've just been chilling... So nothing on this front

One last thing, I need ideas of what to send back to one of my penpals, I need things that represent America and are made in America as well. I got a few Ideas, feel free to post some more for me, I really need help on this!

1.) A fancy Pen from my School (Got one!)

2.) A small USA pin (Got one!)

3.) Some type of lotion or chapstick from Bodyshop or of the like

4.) Bazooka bubble gum

5.) Cracker Jacks

6.) An American Flag

8.) A shirt from an American company such as Hollister or American Eagle

9.) Something for me to sew (Give me Ideas, I'm really handy with sewing machine!)

Thats all I got for now, I really need help with this, so roll out the Ideas, Common Alex you can help me with this!!!!

Well then every one! I wish you a good day! The best of luck! Be seeing you!

   After taking another leave for the holiday seasons. I have been gone working on my website. I have been hunched over it for weeks, and a few mess ups have put me back some. In the end I think I may have to re-code more then a third of the site! God damnit!! Well I'm not to worryed about it, for I know it will come to be soon. So really that is what I have been up to    Its nice to see that every one here is doing so well, this site seems to have picked up to its old fastpased self. Although I still miss every one who left thanks to a little mishape with Jeff as we all know. I hope the best for all of you still packing your bags and getting ready to jump into the band wagon with all the others! At least cheak in once and awhile! Enough is enough, lets move on with this...    Well, lets see. What more besides the site have I been doing? The answer to that is Writing, Writing, and more you guessed it writing! My PC blew up on me about a month ago (It still works, there is just not an OS on it, Linux and Windows hate that computer). So I have been on my Macs. Thats no problem, I can still play WoW HAHAHA! (I don't play that btw). So I have been writing to Pen-Pals. I've gotten even more since the last blog I wrote about having one. How many pen-pals you ask? Well lets count, I have two in Japan, two in Korea, one in Ghana, and one in Burnei. So that is six! Thats a lot of writing! Only two have I been keeping in touch with through e-mail. The others are all snailmail letters, and each letter from me averages 4-6 pages. I've been getting hand cramps!!! Hahaha!     So that is the update! Pretty much all that has been going on since the last few months! I look forward to the new year on Gamespot! Be seeing you!
