Midnight Ramblings

It's amazing how job hunting and Jagged Alliance 2 can suck up so much of my time. 

RISE! GUNDAM!

This Gundam 0080 video is simply just too good to not post here. 

Google Plus

Maybe it's that goon glow from Something Awful, but Google Plus is going to absolutely murder Facebook and all I can say is "Thank God!".

Senor Science's Opinionated Anime Reviews- Roujin Z

Mega Churches

I had to go to a mega church last Sunday for my new cousin's confirmation and the whole service left me with a strange taste in my mouth and it was seriously the strangest thing that I have ever had to sit through.  It was a cross between a Broadway spectacle and that nasty early 00's XXXTREME take on things.  Needless to say it was a very unsettling experience for me, and one that I would rather want to forget. 

If I were to write up a list of some of the things I love about Japan, indifference towards religion would definitely be up in the top five.  Despite the odd 新宗教 here and there in the Inaka there are no major religious groups trying to shove their dogma down everyone the throat of everyone else like there are in the United States.  Nor am I going to get assaulted and possibly killed for having different religious views. 

I'm Senor Science, and I Approve of this Message

I really want to move to the South and live there for a few years in order to run for office after watching political ads from the previous election.  I would love to have a commercial which features me driving a hummer that's towing another hummer, while I stick my head out of the window brandishing a Taurus Judge out of the window.  Of course, these two vehicles were purchased using money obtained from crooked interests, possibly some sort of redneck mafia. 

It's interesting to compare and contrast Japanese politicians against Americans; The Japanese far right seems so meek and unoffensive compared to the vitriol that the modern American right displays. 

Crapping Where We Eat: The Japan Today Story

This piece is simply too good to pass up for commentary.

Personally, I think such an overhaul is a good thing, and as someone who plans to get an MBA one day I know I would directly benefit

Hint to any Japanese employers in the non-educational sector: I would gladly work for you in place of your current mingy, whining and demanding gaijin employees.  Not only would I work for 3/4ths of their current salary, but I'm hard working and optimistic.  Besides, wouldn't you want a handsome and virile young man in his mid 20's over some out of shape, impotent, and balding 40 year old? =)
