It was another rainy night in suburban central Japan, so I decided to take my night elsewhere, namely to the city of Gifu to see what a rainy Friday night was like in that city which I hesitate, but only slightly, to call romantic.

With the rain came some humidity, but still I wore my wind breaker.
Gifu.
Everybody says that there is nothing in Gifu. But, I am there, or, at least, I was there, or, at the very least, I will be there again, so isn’t that something?

The train ride from the suburbs to the city was so dark that I could see only my reflection in the train windows.  My belly was grumbling and I wanted to find a place where I could sit, eat, and write. In Japan, as in America, and, just about everywhere else in the civilized world, there is a common place to go to fill such desires; McDonalds, or as the natives call it, “Makudonaludo“, or simply “Maku“.

*Broadcast Temporarily Interrrupted*
I can understand that some may have chosen to add malicious attacks and comments under this article but I don’t plan to respond to them, unless of course they are directed towards me and then…I might, because then it’s just funny.  You may feel that my intentions in this article may have been dishonorable at best, but I wish no ill will towards anyone.
Sarah may have rubbed me the wrong way at times but I have no negative feelings towards her, believe it or not.  I wasn’t going to come out here like Capt. Save-a-ho and write an article defending random attacks by strangers on the internet when I wrote it, but I was trying to humanize this rampant frenzy to search out her history and to stabilize it if I could.  I tried to show her in the truthful light of someone that everyone could be familiar with.  No need to turn her into a GOD or to turn her into a DEMON.  She’s just a regular ass human, and guess what?….so is George Clooney.
If you are tremendously hurt or inspired by anything either of them do that is broadcasted through the media which paints them in either light, the only real problems that you have do not come from these people, who you will never likely come in contact with in real life, it comes for your own issues.  There’s a show for that, it’s called Dr. Phil.  Sorry they cancelled Lilith Fair.
I will not censor your comments, I am against that fully, but don’t expect me to feed into them either, positively or negatively.  Maybe another mistake on my part is that I am failing to remove this article, but I do take great time and effort to compose my articles and thoughts and I view them as my own form of art.  Words to me are something that I can form and something that I can create or express with, even if I can’t afford a $2,500 wacom tablet or expensive musical equipment.  If you think my writing is shit…that’s cool.  I think most film today is shit and most of the celebrities that people worship are talentless hacks.  This is my forum which you are welcome to visit and comment on as you see fit.  That’s all that it is; that and a forum for friends of mine whose views that I respect. I hope people are enjoying it.  Maybe you’ll enjoy another article, maybe you don’t give a fuck.  Either way thanks for visiting and I appreciate your time.
Now that I’ve said that, you are very welcome to continue

In grand tradition of being a startup blog; we have to gain access to what the big guys get handed to them by sorting through studio trash cans, cold calling reps, and searching the internet for every scrap of goodness we review for you, our dear reader. Today’s discovery was that the script for the highly anticipated Halo movie, and boy was I ever excited to get my grubby mits on the ever so delicate stack papers that contained the screenplay.

Monsterfresh headquarters is located in the middle of a small neighborhood of Seattle called Fremont. It is a strange mix of hippy, drunk frat boy, and yuppie. The other day while enjoying a cigarette on the observation deck of our wonderful building, a very fat man passed by walking his dog on a fucking Segway.

Just a personal note, I loathe the Segway. Maybe it’s because I have never had the opportunity to Segway joust, play seqway polo, or be able to get that smug look on my face one gets when they step onto it’s magical platform.
