Hey bro, sorry I just kind of disappeared o.o... Life got real and I had to concentrate for the last quarter in University. Finally graduated though. Not sure what I'll be up to though, since I have nothing lined up yet. Did you go to any conventions in the meanwhile?

I remember watching an anime about a barkeep and the stories he heard during his job. I think it'd be cool to be able to hear such stories if you ever made a place of your own. Being able to enjoy your time w/ a variety of people would especially be cool. Reminds me of how I always wanted to have like that one black sheep uncle who always was on some kind of adventure and super cool. That's kind of the type of uncle I hope to be for my nieces and nephews one day. That or like a fancy uncle lol. I always kind of feel like the things that you buy at conventions could be bought for much cheaper online. Which is probably why I didn't really buy anything the one time I went. I'm surprised you're not a sports dude. It just seems like it's a thing most 'manly' men are into. As you seem pretty macho to me, it was odd to hear you're not a fan. Have you ever tried being an uber driver on the side just for fun? That way you can always be driving to places. I think being an uber driver, is again like a barkeep, you get to meet lots of people and hear some fascinating stories o.o. Can't say, I've ever visited SoCal, so I wouldn't know the issues they have there. Although I did recently watch a documentary about the homeless there. I guess it's b/c of the housing bust in 2008 and now investors are buying up everything and rent has increased through the roof, causing many people to become homeless. Besides that, I've only heard from a few vet friends how it's really dry and in some places they restrict your water usage by turning off the water at certain times o.O... $4.80 is DEF a high price for gas. Dang man, but I always thought it'd be pretty high due to the location. I mean, I would expect places like Seattle and New York City to also have high gas prices o.o, relates w/ the cost of living. Also, you might be better off w/ owning a private bar in your basement or the like then, preferred to some public place. You could end up being that one friend in the group who remains a bachelor for the longest time whose house all the other married buds will hang out at lol. Dang, you must have some pretty expensive gear o.O... that would suck if you got robbed some day then o.O... On another note, it's cool to see you don't have a preference either. I feel like if you only like particular types of music, you're closing your door to stuff that could possibly make you happy or that you'd enjoy. Even stuff that's cross-cultural.

Ah yea, I've met a few people like that on this site. Not completely like that, but our perspectives on some things don't mix. I'm always kind of glad when this happens though, b/c then I get to see a different side to things. Usually a person will just agree w/ me, either b/c they don't know better, they have no interest or b/c they don't want to get into a fight. It's kind of refreshing to have friends who are different from you and aren't afraid to speak their minds. If you only go to conventions or expos to meet people. What do you even do there? I've been there once and it was really dull. All that they had to do was play some video games, check out some stalls and watch some performances :-/. As for activities, yea I feel like you just need to find a niche or something that resonates w/ you. That or a consistent group of people who'll go w/ you to participate in some activity or sport. That's one of the reasons why I want to learn golf. B/c it's a sport you can play even as you get older. I'd like to keep playing tennis, but it takes it out on your knees or so I've heard. Those sound like some awesome dreams bro. Although I can't see why you don't like SoCal? It seems like the place to be and so many people are always talking about how it's hip and fun to be there. That's a lot of songs bro. Are you biased on the media that you get your song through? I know a lot of people sometimes prefer vinyl over mp3 or the like, so I was wondering if you had a preference. For me, I don't really care how I listen to my music, as long as I get to listen to it.
