Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST

Dir en grey has so many fan club members that they would probably have gotten all the tickets in the first round if it were not for that system.

The system is definitely fair, and I actually like the idea as it still allows you a chance to get a ticket to an otherwise sold-out show. My complaint is more so that it makes it harder to actually get a ticket as an outsider.
Twitch watches pokemone, great! It's extremely funny to watch the chats reaction to the episodes haha!

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Pokemon! Grin

The mall near me has 1 of 2 Nintendo Kiosks in Canada, where they were celebrating the 20th anniversary by giving away 50 copies of Pokemon Red or Blue for the 3DS! I was able to get one of the last copies of Pokemon Blue after they changed the it from 1 game per person to 1 per family (due to the big turnout). Along with that, they had 20% off all Pokemon merchandise, and had a variety of Pokemon games to play on the 2/3DS'. To top it off: a raffle for a 3DS plus a copy of Pokemon Red and Blue!

Pretty good day, glad to see everybody happy about the event.

Here are some pictures from the kiosk (on the day of and before (warning: big pictures)) Grin

Pretty rad Hato! Wish we got stuff like that down here in Vegas. If I had planned ahead, I would've loved to have some sort of 20th anniversary party with some of my other Pokemon maniac friends.

If it makes you feel better, the current Nintendos kiosks are in Canada only; 1 in Vancouver and 1 here, in Ontario.

Hey, maybe plan to come over here to Toronto ;D

If the current presidential election keeps going the direction it looks like it is, I'll definitely consider moving to Canada.
Speaking of presidential elections, if you guys are disillusioned with the two main parties, feel free to write me in. I'm registered with the FEC, so I could be your protest vote Wink I even have a website.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules with my shameless (well, almost) self-advertising here, haha.

Pretty cool that you're with the FEC. I'm not disillusioned with the two parties; they're working just as they have been for years. I'm mostly disillusioned with the American people, both the ones voting and the ones running for President.
TeamFourStars' account got blocked on YouTube. Copyright issues or something.. For anyone who doesn't know them by their username, they created the Dragon Ball Abridged series and I'm just so sad Unhappy

Edit- They were blocked yesterday .. just checked and they are back again Tongue_out

"Working" is a term I would use loosely. Functioning? Yes. Functioning well? That's another issue entirely. But politics isn't really something we can talk about on the forums, so I'll leave it at that, haha.

Yah I heard about that. It seems like everything was fixed, but they said that this has happened before, I believe. It must be tedious to have to deal with that on even a semi-consistent basis.
So the other day I was at school minding my own business when a strange man and one of my teachers walked from the side doors.

Turns out that teacher is @[SuntailHawk].

He's teaching us Orgami (which i've discovered Im horrible at doing).

Small world. small world indeed.
Whaaaaaaat.

Mind=blown.

But wow, that is pretty awesome! What's it like being taught by Mr. Hawk? Haha.

My favorite super hero of all time showed up today in Captain America Civil War. I've known he's going to be in it for months, but it still felt great. I love how they made his eyes move and how film makers are relating to the comics much more. It makes it feel a lot cooler in my opinion. I am very excited for this film.

Pretty weird man. He got all my beyblade references which made me feel like less of weirdo.

He might come again. I dont know.

So a couple days ago I was outside and picked up a vine and was joking with my sister about how it may it or may not be poison oak, to prove my point I rubbed it all over my arms.




It was poison oak.

This post accurately describes the lengths I go to prove a point, but fail miserably in the end.
