A Place You've Never Been

I believe this is the 30 post in the last 30 days.  I didn't count, so if someone wants to count go for it.  I'm going to continue with this so at some point I'll reach it if I haven't already.

On to the topic at hand.  One of the places I've never been that I've always wanted to go to is Japan.  I've had times where I've said that I was going to, but things have come up that have side tracked that.

I first was going to buy a house, but that proved more difficult than I planned on.  That was my fault though.  I'm picky and when I'm the only one looking then that doesn't help.  Then I got in an accident and had to get a new car so that took the money I could have used for the trip and was placed somewhere else.

Once I get my spending under control I will start saving some money for a trip at some point either late this year or next year.  Next year will be 5 years at where I'm working (hoping so at least) and that means I'll gain an extra week of vacation so that would be nice to have.

I do also want to go during early May or November to see the Cherry blossoms so both of those times do work out for my timing.  I also don't know how long I want to stay.  My original plans was to stay for 2 weeks, but that might be a bit too much for the first time.  I've been thinking more like 7 or 8 days to get familiar with Tokyo and maybe go to Kyoto for some time.

I've also been looking more into staying with an Air BNB as I'm more likely to have someone that speaks English that way.  All of these can change depending on when I actually start planning.  The one thing I do know is that I will get me some beef bowls.  Been playing too much Persona that I won't miss that opportunity.

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
