Today is the day. It's 3:30 PDT (OMG it's early!) Soon I will depart for Anaheim to attend SM Town Live 2012. It's going to be a long night cause I don't have the money for a hotel so I'll have like 8 hours to kill till I can get a bus home. But it will all be worth it. I'll get to meet up with old friends and meet new friends and best of all I'll be in the same place,breathing the same air as my idols!!!!! That's gotta be worth a little discomfort and losing some sleep. So I'll get home monday, catch a nap and wake up fresh? to catch the MBC/Google K Pop concert with many of the same SM artists I'll see today! Epic times!!!!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKB0048

It has been a very long time since I've been excited about a anime. Even longer since I've even been engaged by one. AKB0048 is  amazing. AKB0048 is on the same level as Sailor Moon. A lot of people are under the false premise that Sailor Moon is a anime for girls. It is not. Sailor Moon is a anime ABOUT girls. Sailor Moon has a message for girls that I seldom see in shows. Most shows have the message that if girls are good and work hard then some day their prince will come along and make their dreams come true. The message in Sailor Moon is that you can take a stand. You can take a stand with your friends. You can fight for yourself, your friends, your loved ones and even the world and you can WIN! So, why does this matter to me? After all, I'm not a girl. This is true, but I like girls. I want them to be strong.
AKB0048 takes place in a dark future. Earth that was is gone. (See Firefly/Serenity) Art and music have been banned. A group of girls preform as a resurrection of the original AKB48 and go round in a space ship playing guerilla concerts. The government has declared them terrorists. The story is about a group of girls auditioning to be understudies/trainees for the new AKB0048. It's been only two episodes in but I already love it!

I haven't been here in ages. I had a bad bout with the flu that I'm not 100% over. I'm back to working part time. I have no money and I'm not at all secure. Bla Bla Bla. Moving on to important stuff. Movies! This looks like a awesome summer for movies. Avengers! New Spiderman! This year we have no less than two Snow White movies. One has Julia Roberts that looks like it will re define the word suck. The other one "Snow White and the Huntsman" looks EPIC! Yesterday I saw the trailer for the movie Prometheus. Holy Frack! a Alien prequel? OK that's it, I did this entry just to bitch about Julia Roberts making a awful movie that I'll NEVER watch.

My new years resolution was to spend more time at the beach. The best idea I ever came up with. I went yesterday, On a whim I stopped by the Korean grocery store to get a box lunch.

Today I guess some poor person mistook the parking lot of Lowes hardware for the Goodwill and left some boxes of stuff. I helped myself to a few things. Eight Starbucks mugs! One is a copy of the San Diego Balboa Park mug that I had and broke! As well as a Starbucks water bottle!!!!! As well as season one and two of Gilmore Girls! You know, before it jumped the shark.
I like free stuff.

Things at home are....iffy. but stable for now. Work is slow. working part time. But Hey! free Starbucks mugs!!!!!!!
I need to clean up after my house mates dogs now.

I just now had a dream. In the dream I met SNSD's Taeyeon in a field on a warm summers day. She had a picnic setup. I lay down beside her and we embraced. She told me in perfect english about happy she was to see me. How much she missed me when I was gone. I just write these things down so I won't lose them to the fog of time. I do not think dreams have meaning. I think it's just my brain playing with concepts in it's spare time. I find it interesting that I would dream of Taeyeon and not Hyoyeon who is my favorite. As far as what the dream "means" It's pretty simple. I'd like a pretty girl to be happy to see me and miss me when I'm gone. Just a valentines day hangover. LOL! I'm going back to bed now!

I went to the beach yesterday. So I'm doing ok on my new years resolution.(single) Which was  to spend more time at the beach. I went once in Jan and once this month. That's 100% more than last year!
I was able to scrape up enough cash to go out to eat at a family buffet. I  went to the back of the place to try to avoid the happy families as much as I could when I spied a pretty lady, also eating alone. Now if this were tee vee I'd walk up to her table and say something like "Couldn't help notice that you are dining alone, as I am. Perhaps we can share a table and some light dinner conversation and then you can blow me in the parking lot." But this is NOT tee vee and I know that the LAST thing a pretty lady like her wanted was to have some clod, like myself come up and ruin her night. So I found a table in the corner and had a lovely meal with not a bit of forced awkward conversation. Epic Win!

I had a dream today where I was in a large city. Not sure which. I was homeless and found a building that appeared to be vacant and went inside. I found a unit that was packed full of funiture and figured I could hide out there. I went to sleep (in the dream I went to sleep) and was awakened by a pretty blonde woman stepping over me. In the morning. The blonde woman said to me. "You looked uncomfortable sleeping in your clothes. As long as you're going to be sleeping here I'd prefer you slept naked." At this point a pretty brunette walked over and both women explained to me that the building was going to be converted into condos and they owned this unit and I was welcome to stay as long as I wanted. I then broke down and dropped to me knees and hugged their legs. "You mean it's OK for me to stay? I can stay here?" As far as what this means. It's pretty clear I'm insecure about both money and my home arrangement so in my dream I created this perfect arrangement where I could live in a urban area with two attractive women without any romantic or emotional entanglements. Cause that's where my head is now.

    OK..... so  Something happened today that rarely happens. I was asleep when my alarm went off. And I wasn't just asleep. I was in REM sleep. So I recall the dream I was having. I was in the corporate headquarters of Soshified.com . It was a sprawling office complex in Fla. I was walking with Soyuri, the founder of Soshified. ( I've met her in RL twice and worked for her as a volunteer once) Anyhoo... we were looking for SNSD who were on hand for a fan meet. I went to the lobby and heard the Soshified DJ mocking me on air. I then picked up a candle that was shaped like a octopus/squid that the face of Salvador Dali. So that was the start of my day. On my way to catch the train I was accosted by a young man heading home from a party (this was about 4:45 am) I guess he was a bit high and maybe a little lonely and VERY chatty. I didn't want to deal with him but I didn't want to ba as harsh as I knew I'd have to be to get rid of him. So I did the mature thing. I ran away and ditched him. Then it was off to Labor Ready to try to get a day job. After failing at that I got a idea that I should touch base with work to insure that someone would be in the office to hand out checks. Good move as I was told that the office would be closed. So I grabbed my check and ran around to pay bills like I was going to do tomorrow. So, there's nothing left to do but run out the clock on 2011 and brace for 2012. I go back to work on Monday.
So......Yeah!

I'm going to a Christmas gathering in about a hour. It may be fun... who knows. The years getting short. The EDD kicked my unemployment forms back to me cause I forgot to add a zip code for my workplace. No, it's cool guys, not like I needed that money for rent or food or anything. On the plus side I got more work  than I expected, so yay! I do have more money coming in so I just might get by. I plan on making some changes in the next few months so 2012 will have some shake up. I'm hoping in a good way. Over all I'm grateful for my friends that help me every day. I'd be lost without my best friends Greg and Zak. 2011 was a kind of lackluster year mostly cause 2010 was so awesome! Still 2011 isn't done yet. Everything's looking so much better than it did just last week so who knows what next week will bring. I watched a SNSD Christmas special online.  So, I had a Soshi Christmas!
Unless something happens I doubt I'll post again till the new year, So.....Bye 2011!

I was going to post a rant about how my life is imploding.... AGAIN. Then I got an idea to go back in time, As in my LJ archive to when the economy was getting real bad. This is from four years ago almost to the day.

" I'm so sick and tired of being broke. Anyone that tells you that we aren't in a  recession now is full of crap. My work week is down to three days a week. I'm thinking about changing jobs even though I loathe the thought. Jan 1 the minimum wage goes up to $8.. an hour. So I won't be losing too much by changing jobs. As long as it's nothing where I have to deal with the public everything will be cool. I already know that all of you are tired of me bitching about my lack of love life cause I'm sick of it myself. Same for my unresolved anger issues. But you know what? these feelings will be there as long as they are. I just have to make some kind of peace with these demons cause they aren't going anywhere. Just that more baggage. Anyhoo it's beginning to look a lot like bullshit."

I could pretty much use this as my post today. I'm on the verge of homelessness, broke and very scared. But all I can do is my best. One way or another I will be moving. I just hope I can do it on my terms.
