Leaving the West

Tags: reflection
My feelings haven’t really changed. I kind of want to live somewhere else. Tried with the going to school in Japan thing but that obviously didn’t work out. Ideally, you need to get some income then figure out a way to make passive income. Whether that’s through a business, real estate, dividends, etc. I’m sick to my stomach of general “wokeness.” I know there’s people fleeing from much worse, but I am so bloody tired of it.

Broken California: Sacramento is a Clown Show – Railyards Development Failures Further Exposes Policy Failures of Democrats

Categories: politics
Tags: america
California is a clown show. Things do not work in this state. Housing is unaffordable. Schools are broken. Things do get built. Public transportation is a joke. Bureaucracy takes years to get anything done. Urban centers are not safe. Homeless is an epidemic. Tent cities exist. Parks are disgusting. Let’s explore some of the latest nonsense going on in Sacramento. First off, we have unions opposing development of the Railyards:

New Laptop and Fixed Tags

Okay, I think I have finally fixed the tags issue on this site. For the longest time, I don’t know why, tags were broken on this site. Now I think I have fixed them. All I did was run hugo on this new laptop and it seemed to have fixed it for some reason. No idea what that was about. But man I can’t believe it took me what three months now to finally shift this over to my new laptop.

Rejected

So I was rejected from Nagoya, Ritsumeikan, and ICU. The last one is Sophia but I’m not going to be waiting in baited breath for that one. Think the odds of that one working out aren’t all that great. I’m not so frustrated with getting rejected it’s more not being able to get the time and money back. But I still have the opportunity to go to a UC school and finish my degree in a couple years.

I Will Know Today

Today is when I receive the decision. Should be at seven, which is around four hours from now. This will either be very exciting or very disappointing. Maybe anti-climatic would be better. I’m predicting that I got in. That’s my prediction. I might be wrong, but I feel decent about it. I would be very happy. But if not then I spend two years going to a state school. I already got accepted to a couple state schools, so I do have somewhere I can go.

End of an Era

I can still vividly remember the time I heard Trump was shot. I thought he was really assassinated or badly wounded at first. But I still remember. Might be the same thing with this. I think I’m still going to remember what I felt in the days coming up to it and the days proceeding. I don’t think it’s a simple it’ll be down for a couple weeks. This might truly be the end of 4chan as we knew it.

April Ramblings

Let’s see. Since the last one I’ve played Call of Duty 2, World at War, and Modern Warefare. All of them were fine. Not particularly special but entertaining. Besides that not much else huh. I’ve just been feeling less desire to try to complete things. Kinda feel like I’ve reached a point where consuming most media just feels a little redundant. Kinda just been whittling down the time reading news, slowly working on tefl course, duolingo, posting on clover forum, going on walks, and video games.

Wolf Warrior 1/2

Categories: movie reviews
Tags: China
So I decided to watch these movies mostly purely out of curiosity. If you follow politics or any sort of Chinese news then you’ve probably heard of “wolf warrior diplomacy”. Which I’m not quite sure whether that originated in Chinese media or American media, but my guess would be the latter. I went into it kind of expecting and kind of wanting a jingoistic sort of movie. But what I got wasn’t really that.

Sulla Chapter Four

Tags: Fiction
As the sun set Sulla set out and the adventurers from earlier began to trickle out. Five came on horseback and the others were to ride in the wagon. “So, where exactly is this den of banditry.” Sulla stretched his whiskers for a few seconds and responded, “You know the reports of recent lootings of houses?” “I’m aware. That is why the baron is so pissed and is handing out such high rewards for the death or capture of thieves.

Threats on Christmas

I just got physically threatened on Christmas Eve by my brother. It’s one thing for my parents to take his side, but it’s a whole nother thing to justify threats. I’m debating on whether I should do this next year. Next year I will probably be living independently of my parents. I’ll still be dependent on them, but I probably won’t be living in the same house as them come next year.
