Digimon Tri update

Tuesday, May 12th, 2015 at 12:07 am

I’m more than super excited for the new Digimon anime! Looks like we won’t see anything until November – but every time they tease something, it makes me remember how awesome it was!



…and I found this amusing.

Also – I’m very addicted to this song. It’s been on repeat for a while now.

My only problem with Ariana Grande is she has pretty poor enunciation – her words sort of all merge together.

Went to the Toronto Google office today for work

It was cool and I can die happy now.

This so called life….

What is/where can I find success without the corporate ladder?

What is the balance between happiness and financial stability?
Must I sacrifice my happiness if I want x number of children (and need to financially support them)?
(Always the ideal solution but is it realistic?) Is it possible to find a job that fulfills my happiness and provides me the equivalent monetary compensation for a ‘difficult’ job?

I’ve always put happiness above everything. It’s a life motto. And I’ve found out that this is a common thing for millennials (of which, I am one).
But I’m not living my life solo anymore. I’ve got a significant other. I’ve even got a dog now! Does my life motto need to change, due to the responsibility I have towards them? I know they’d want me to be happy – but is sacrificing my happiness a worthy sacrifice to improve the lives of those around me?

I’m finding it quite difficult to obtain inner peace, as I struggle between selfishness and selflessness. Lately, I just can’t seem to find that harmony.

Digimon

I recently decided to rewatch Digimon Adventure – I’ve always been a fan of Digimon and I’ve seen the ENG versions of Season 1-3 and part of the JAP versions of S4 – but it’s been difficult for me to rewatch Digimon Adventure S1 and S2 because although I like it, it’s not the greatest dub in the moment. The arcs are awesome, animation and character development is fantastic – it’s just that dub dialogue is..not great.

Just finishing ENG Digimon Adventure now, plan to watch ENG Digimon Adventure 02 after this. Then Tamers.
Then start watching JAP S1-S4. I don’t really like S4 but I’m a fan of the Royal Knights – so I want to see them in it.

I’ve only seem Tamers once – I found it to be horribly depressing (and long, near the end) the first time I watched it – wondering how I’ll interpret it a decade later.

I really wanna do some Digimon art. If I have some time, I’m going to.

While surfing/researching Digimon stuff, I came across this. For the fans, hit 15:30 as it gets pretty epic.
The animation is freaking awful, but it’s still pretty cool.
Also – not sure why the villian is Myotismon, Venom Myostismon, and MalaMyotismon

ALSO.

The reason why I’m getting all into Digimon again, after 15 years is…the 15 year anniversary of Digimon! And, if you didn’t know, there’s a new series featuring the original 8!

Japanese

English

I’m so excited :)

ALSO. I think this is one of my favorite anime Intros ever :)

It’s been a while…

…and this time, I mean it!

I could probably do an epic post for the last 5 months but I’m going to try to keep it short.

Life
At the end of July, I went to Seattle for a friend’s wedding. It was awesome.

Work
August to Novemeber are honestly, a blur – I worked harder than I’d ever worked during August and September, pulling some more than ridiculous time/hours in the hopes of launching a big project. It was difficult. I did not have time to blog, I barely had time to sleep.

Since then, I’ve been a bit burned out/recovering slowly…but this post is probably an indication that things are slowly getting back to normal.

Games
I’ve been playing a bit of WoW lately. I honestly think the best part of someone like me playing WoW, followed by not playing WoW, is the feeling of time you get back when you’re not playing. Suddenly, this Sunday seems like I can accomplish so much, as opposed to if I played WoW and it kind of all went into the wash.

Got some new video games (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Smash Bros.) but don’t have time to play them….

Computer
I purchased/assembled a new computer recently – it’s pretty powerful but the GPU can get pretty hot and the fans, pretty loud. After assembling this new computer, it was running fine for about 2 weeks and then suddenly was having BSOD/restarts 5 times a night for a couple of nights – I think it had to do with my GPU overheating. I believe I’ve properly configured the fans though now, so that it runs optimally.
Some hardware pieces I got:

Intel Core i7-4790K Quad-Core Processor – Socket LGA1150, 4.0Ghz, 8MB L3 Cache, 22nm
ASUS Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi AC) Socket 1150 Intel Z97 Chipset | Dual Channel DDR3 3200(O.C.) MHz]
G.SKILL RipjawsX F3-1866C9D-16GXM 16GB 2X8GB DDR3-1866 CL9 240PIN 1.5V Dual Channel Memory Kit
EVGA 04G-2974-KR GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 ACX 2.0 PCI Express 3.0
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 850W Power Supply 80 Plus Gold Certified Full Modular Power Supply Intel 4th Gen CPU Compatible 10 Year Warranty (220-G2-0850-XR) @ CC
Antec Three Hundred Two Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded 2 x USB 3.0
Crucial MX100 512GB 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD), Read: 550MB/s Write:500MB/s (CT512MX100SSD1)
Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition

Shows
Watched 30 Rock, The Big Bang Theory twice, watched all the Marvel movies and Agents of Shield (which is an awesome show, btw!) in chronological order. Rewatching Battlestar Galactica. The first episode is so dark…so many people die!

Books
There are some books I want to read: The Art of War by Sun Tzu, Ready Player One, and Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson.

Toys
Still buying toys/figures. Took some pictures last night. Click for bigger pictures.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Loki-The-Dog-of-Mischief/583192948469940
Like the page and watch his videos!

He’s been a joy in my life and a test in patience – but I absolutely love him and one of the best things in my day are coming home to a puppy that is just so happy and excited to see you.

These are all the same dog, just taken at different points throughout the last 3.5 months. He’s grown / changed so much in a few months!

Blogging
Blogging is definitely more difficult for me lately – I feel that I just don’t have any time….*sigh*
