2012 brings new things to discover as well as uncertainty about the future. It also brings more of that 2012 doomsday BS that has been running rampant the past few years, despite common sense and scientists actually proving that the predicted Mayan doomsday will not happen! But that still doesn't stop idiots like Discovery Channel, History Channel, Patrick Geryl and other morons from continuing to shove their doomsday shows and books down our throats!

Since the world will end in 356 days from now (we are in a leap year, so we have the 29th of February), I've decided to have my own fun with this "phenomenon". Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about how the earth will suddenly reverse its magnetic fields or anything like that. I lack the intelligence to make sense of that stuff.

The reason for this title if I'm not going to talk about 2012? A certain 80's song that critics think is probably the worst song in history.

On the job hunt!

Posted August 25th, 2009 at 9:04 PM by Mario The World Champion (The Final Countdown!)

I want to end 2009 on a good note. After being laid off from my job earlier in the year, my original plan was to take some time off and relax while collecting my unemployment benefits and look for a new job after Anime Boston 2009.

And then my Dad got leukemia. So, that plan was scrapped as I had to look after him after he came back home, to make sure he's okay until he can get back to normal. Now that he's okay and the leukemia's no where in sight, I'm now resuming my plan to...

Wii are having seconds thoughts.

A few weeks ago, I made a blog entry about how I was planning on getting a Nintendo Wii this month.

Well, I'm having second thoughts. Now is not the time for me to go get one. I'm in the process of finding a new job and I might need that Wii money in case something happens before I do find a new job.

I still plan on getting that Wii sometime. I feel like it's better if I get it a month or two after starting a new job. Once I get settled into being a part of the...

I got an Anime that hasn't been officially released yet!

Man, I made a good decision to go to ConnectiCon yesterday. One of my favorite Anime vendors was there and they were selling an Anime that has NOT BEEN officially released yet.

It'll be out on August 18th, but I got my hands on one right now!

I need a Con Fix

Don't worry. This is not another "Rant about Rep abuse" blog. Not me. Heck, I go away for a bit and PC is again going through something.

But I digress. With my Summer dulled out thanks to my Dad's leukemia, which is in remission much to the amazement of the doctor and he's doing fine, if you want to know, July's almost at an end.

But lucky for me, there's an escape. Hartford CT is having their yearly anime con called ConnectiCon. It's not as big as Anime...

Update on my Dad

Tags my dad

Well, I should give a new update on how my Dad's doing these days.

In a nutshell, he's back to what he was before they discovered his leukemia. He's nearly back to full strength and doesn't need me to do certain things for him. The good news is that he's driving again. He "passed" a driving test when he drove with me and my Mom to an appointment with his cancer doctor, seeing if he can drive without problems.

Right now, they are going to do monthly chemo...
