POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatsup everyone,

So my adventures in Pokemon were going well and recording the session to upload was going fine until my computer decided to freeze up for about 3 minutes. Once I got it to run normally again the video file became corrupted and now I have to start over from the beginning and start recording again. This is going to take some time.

In other news, I had gotten my ears pierced last week and eventually taken them out for my own reasons and noticed one ear was a little red and swollen. So I did my best to keep it clean everyday then finally went to a doctor to get it checked out. So after being told I was completely fine came the worse part, paying the bill. Now I do not have insurance and I figured getting my ear looked at and told I am fine wouldn't be that bad. Ended up paying $100 just to get looked at and told that I am completely fine. What a waste.

Well, I shall continue trying to get the Pokemon Let's Play up and running in the mean time I have some MW3 videos saved on my computer that I may upload to my channel and commentate. Until then have a good weekend everyone!

Update + Asian Kid Mobbed

Whatsup everyone,

I am sure most if not all of you so far have seen the video of the asian man getting mobbed by 7 students from the same school. I honestly have a hard time containing my sheer rage and hatred whenever I hear about these things and watch them. Probably because as a kid, I was bullied a bit and roughed up from time to time. At one point I too was mobbed by maybe 9-10 other guys that were around my age (I think I was around 14.) However, by the time that event rolled around I was already well trained through martial arts and was able to defend myself and suffer minor injuries, but that is a different story that I would rather not brag about my victory...mostly because I enjoyed it a little too much for a kid and some of the assailants were hospitalized for quite a long time and I was even in a bit of trouble for excessive force. Anyway, I remember how scared I was at first and how angry I was after it all ended. Not a memory I want to ever relive. I hope that all of the people involved in this including the girl that video taped it all and even giggled when they slammed the poor kid into the ground ends up in jail for a while. Here is the video, DO NOT WATCH IT IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT.



Anyway back to a more calmer update. Seems like everyone would be interested in seeing a Let's Play of Pokemon Emerald or Leaf Green. So I am going to do just that, however I am considering adding a twist to it and doing a Nuzlocke run. For those who do not know what that is, basically you add in some rules to the game to make it a little more challenging. Here is what I am planning to do.


  1. Any Pokemon that faints is considered dead, and must be released.
  2. The player may only catch the first Pokemon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokemon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If it is a duplicate of a Pokemon already caught then the next non duplicate can be caught.
  3. All Pokemon must be nicknamed.
  4. Three Second Chances Are Allowed. (Meaning if a Pokemon faints and I have a revive I can use it but only 3x Revives throughout the entire game)

That is all for today, I shall get working on the Let's Play Series soon. Also not sure why the rules ended up like that. Couldn't figure out how to get rid of the black background.

Whatsup everyone,

Just a real quick question for you all. Would you like to see a Let's Play series on my youtube channel of Pokemon Emerald? I was thinking of playing it again and thought about making a Let's Play series of it. Let me know!

First Time Experience with Clubs

Whatsup everyone,

I just got home from the club with my friends and well, it wasn't all that amazing. The dance floor was pretty small and obviously packed with people. It was ridiculously loud since it was a Friday and the drinks were way expensive. I spent about $16 on myself getting two drinks, my cover was only $5 thanks to my friend getting us on the VIP list. We were there from around 11pm until 1am and the whole time I was just disappointed in the lack of decent looking girls. Not that I went there just to check out girls or hit on any of them, but everywhere I turned was just unattractive, overweight, and scantily clad women. It was not a pretty sight.

Anyway, I never realized how skinny I am until today when my friend took a picture of me before we left for the club. I was pretty amazed by how much weight I visibly lost and was quite proud of myself. I think I said this before but I used to wear a large sized shirt and about a 32-34" waist for pants. Now a days, I am sporting a small sized shirt and 30" waist size pants. I posted the picture on my twitter if anyone is interested to see the picture (click the link it will take you straight to it), it is also one of the few times that I will have a picture of what I look like since I am terrible at taking my own picture and rarely have other people take it.

Well that is all for today, have a great weekend everyone!
