Watching a crapload of shows

When I was a kid, back when they had cartoons on weekdays, I took them for granted. Now I found a site where I can download them from Megaupload and I can't wait to watch everything again.

Beast Wars - finished watching

I never understood the show when it was on air because I was a kid with bad English back then. I just watched it for the CGI. The show was quite good. It had a plot and it had a beginning and an end. However, it was also sad because many of the characters got killed, especially Dinobot.

Beast Machines - finished watching

This one is the sequel to Beast Wars. It was kind of weird in the end because Optimus dies to save the planet. The story is confusing at first because they lose their memories and Megatron is somehow in control of the entire planet. The modeling for the characters are somewhat ugly in my opinion but the plot makes up for it.







Monster Rancher - finished watching

This was one of those shows I was dying to see but never got the chance to watch. Back when it was on Fox 5, it aired at 3 PM exactly. I remembered that I ran home from school just to watch it but since I lived far away from the school, I would always miss the show. MR had a total of three seasons, but for some reason, Season 3 was never aired (to my knowledge). Rewatching this show made me replay Monster Rancher 2 on the Playstation. I loved this show.






Spiderman the Animated Series (1994)

This was an awesome show. It had a total of five seasons and it featured almost all of spiderman's enemies. To my surprise, Venom and Carnage only appeared in 2 story arcs (roughly 5 episodes each). I haven't rewatched the entire show as of yet, but I have seen episodes here and there. The ending was a stupid cliffhanger that was "tied up" by its sequel, Spiderman Unlimited--which was a terrible short lived 11 episode show.


Animaniacs / Pinky and the Brain - have not seen

Unfortunately, I can't find the complete set of this show anywhere. I've been looking around for a long time but with no luck. Animaniacs was a greaet show. It was quite funny and had a lot of innuendos that kids didn't understand. In fact, according to wikipedia, a lot of adults watched the show. The show's success led to a spinoff--Pinky and the Brain, which was also a smash hit.

DCAU - DC Animated Universe

Batman The Animated Series - two time Emmy award winner, I'm not that interested in this series so I might not watch it

Superman The Animated Series - This was an emmy nominated series. Again, I might or might not watch it.

Static Shock - This was a pretty good
series, but that's because it was created around the time when I actually understood the stuff, so it gave me a good impression.


Batman Beyond - I gotta rewatch this one. Batman Beyond was one of those shows I didn't understand but am quite interested in.


Justice League - This is the stuff not aired on public television. The content is much more mature and a step up in violence. The story focuses on the original seven members of the league--Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Wonderwoman, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and the Flash. Each of the episodes were about a different plot, but enjoyable nonetheless.





Justice League Unlimited - the league expands to an X number of members. This is the end of the DCAU. I've watched the entire unlimited series and it was great. Each episode focused on a few individual heroes (a bunch of lesser known ones) and a small subplot.
















Godzilla the Series

This show is the direct sequel of the Godzilla movie in 2000. It aired on Fox 5 but I never saw the ending. Now is the time to rewatch everything.

HULK VS

I saw the trailer of these DVDs on television quite a while ago. I saw them on display at Walmart (because that's where they are sold) so it interested me.

I've watched both and I must say--I'm impressed. For a 40 minute movie, both of these were action packed and quite spectacular.



Hulk vs wolverine was cool, although the winner was quite obvious. Hulk kicked the crap out of Logan. Wolverine's claws only poke holes into the Hulk, but that only makes Hulk even angrier--thus even stronger. When Hulk punched Wolverine, he flew all the way to another part of the mountain. This movie also featured some other characters such as Sabertooth, Omega Red, and Deadpool. None of them were a match for the Hulk.




Hulk vs Thor was the better movie though. Hulk was summoned by some evil guys in Thor's world to destroy their kingdom. They extracted Dr. Bruce Banner from the Hulk--making him an unstoppable weapon. Not even the mighty Thor withstood the rage of the Hulk, he got smashed hard.

In conclusion, I seriously doubt that anyone can stop the Hulk in full rage. His power level is correlated to his rage, so fighting him will only make him stronger. He has no weakness, other than his human counterpart. Without Bruce, Hulk is the ultimate destroyer.

Oh My Gawd

I hit the jack pot!

Well not really, but I did find a site where I can download all the shows I've been dying to watch.

I'm not going to post it now but stay tuned.

Solar Eclipse 2009

WIKI post

The longest solar eclipse in 500 years--and the people living on the western hemisphere missed it all. China, India, and some other parts of Asia had the luck of viewing a once in a lifetime event. Something like this will never come by in my lifetime, that's for sure.

---------------------------------

Too much of everything is no good. Ever heard of "ignorance is bliss"? Well I believe it is true. Remember that episode when Homer Simpson got his crayon removed and he became intelligent? His intellectual self found life to be too difficult so he chose to become stupid again. If I wasn't so smart, maybe I wouldn't think so much. Thinking about random thoughts mostly makes me sad. I think I might be in for a serious case of depression. If only I was a bit dumber, I wouldn't have care in the world... live life happily and not think about what could be.

It's also true for those who are very beautiful. Beautiful women--are they blessed or are they cursed? Being stared down by all sorts of drooling men--that's probably not a great feeling. And then there's always the fear of rape.

God damn I wish the summer would end already. Every week kills me a bit more inside because of its repetitive nature. I have nothing to look forward to, I have no goal, I have no motivation whatsoever.



"But if you're not doing it for yourself, who are you doing it for??"

I would like to know.

sticks and stones may break my bones

Words hurt--a lot, especially coming from someone important to you.


Anyway, I don't know if this happens to you, but it certainly happens to me. Have you ever laughed or smiled and your face hurts because of your grin? It hurts because your face hasn't made a smile in so long that the muscles get tired from the facial expression. I don't believe people when they say frowning uses more muscles because my face gets tired when I smile or laugh a lot. I guess it's because there's not a lot to be happy about. It saddens me to know that my face hurts to smile =(.

A much simplified version:

You know when you haven't worked out for a while, and you work out, and you get sore? Well that happens to my face.

Kristin Kreuk

Kristin Kreuk, best known for her role of Lana Lang in Smallville, was cast for Chun Li in a movie recently. KK is half Dutch and half Chinese. Here is a funny video of her speaking Cantonese in the movie.

I thought she would perhaps know how to speak some Chinese since her mother is Chinese... but damn--I was way wrong. Her pronunciation was terrible and I laughed out loud so many times in that video XD.

Obligations

Social networks such as Facebook got me thinking. Why the hell do some people add people to friends list even though they never say a word to one another? I know this bitch from junior high school and she added me on FB a couple of months ago. I didn't want to accept, because I don't give a shit about her (she added me on Sconex before as well). When I accepted back the first time on Sconex, I asked how she was--the bitch never replied. This time I said hello again, she never replied. Honestly, why waste time to add me if you don't exchange a single word with me? Likewise, I have a ton of worthless "friends"--a ton of people whom I never even spoke to. I accepted most of them because I know who they are, I call them acquaintances. Another time, this bitch added me twice, I declined the first time, but she added me again. So the second time, I accepted to see what she would say. She said nothing.

Are most people stalkers? I don't think so. I believe they simply want to add people to increase their friend count. Oh hey look, I have 1000 friends! As if anyone gives a rat's ass about it.

Another thing that bothers me is birthday wishes. I saw this girl copy and paste the same message to three people who had the same birthdays. LoL. I think people who do these things are superficial and phony. They want the favor returned when time comes around. But guess what? Most people don't give a shit. It's your birthday, big whoop. This is why I removed my birthday so I don't get 30 spam messages of the same two words on one day. If you have something to say, why make an excuse to say it on that particular day?

Quality over quantity .

ffffuuu

I know what I want.

Unfortunately, I lack the motivation, the dedication, the inspiration.

My parents always criticize me for not studying enough. My theory is, if I can get straight A's with the least amount of studying done, it is more efficient. Why the hell should I waste my time studying hours and hours when I accomplish the same goal using less time? Isn't that what work is about anyway--to accomplish a task efficiently and quickly?

Being smart, naturally comes along with excessive stress. Why the hell do I think so much?

Work isn't bad. In fact, I kinda like brainless work, it requires no effort. Lift crates, pack out, stock shelves, match numbers. I wonder by the end of the summer my body will become more cut. All this lifting sure is tiring...

no one cares

What gets me through the day?

It used to be easier, but now it seems impossible to find motivation. I used to have something to look forward to so that each day passes by quicker. Nowadays, everything is so mundane, so repetitive, so dull...

And it's hard to find someone who cares. Sometimes I feel like chatting with someone on AIM but no one ever initiates a conversation with me. I log on AIM hoping someone has something interesting to share with me--but it doesn't happen. Maybe I should uninstall, it seems like quite a pointless program.



PS: I am not emo.

more thoughts

I think as I grow older, I gain more confidence in myself. When I was a kid, I hated to go on stage and speak in front of a crowd. I still dislike it, but I know I will have to overcome this fear. In fact, I realized that it is not the presentation itself that gets to me, but the anticipation of going up that gives me the chills. On stage, I just go with the flow, I don't quite feel as nervous as when I am sitting there, waiting to go.

So next time I have a presentation, I think I'll volunteer to go first. Everyone else is just as worried, why should I be afraid? They aren't better than I am, so I have nothing to be afraid of. Next time, I will carry this mentality into my future presentation/public speaking.

stuff

I transferred from CVS to Walgreens. Hooray for that.

Shopping for things is very difficult. The other day I needed to buy a pair of black sneakers but I simply couldn't decide on what to get--mostly because of the price and the comfort level. Most sneakers these days are way too flashy and uncomfortable. So I ended up not buying anything, so my 4th of July was a big sham. Shammity sham sham I tell you.

hmm

I see ... blind people... all the time.

I don't know whether the number of blind people are increasing, or I'm simply seeing more blind people walking around. In the past two months, I'm pretty sure I've come across at least twenty blind people. It's very unfortunate to lose the ability to see, if I went blind I would probably get myself killed in the first week (accidentally). I have no idea how they continue their lives, hell I even saw a blind man go to Baruch. It's a frightening thought to lose sight... I don't even know how they cross the street.

Also, SYEP orientations are a complete waste of time.
