So, while I was performing maintenance I chose a theme called Star Ocean. I’m also going out to buy Star Ocean for the PS3 today. Star Ocean is just a fantastic series, and I’m pumped about getting it today. I had actually thought it was to be released on the 15th – FAIL!! It’s been out since the flippin’ 9th, I’m sad on the inside. =-(
I learned an interesting bit of information today, something I think I read before but didn’t commit memory, because it sounded familiar. Japan does Valentine’s Day correctly, yet another reason Japan rocks harder than just about every other country in the world. What the fuck happened in my country that valentine’s day got all screwed up and became such a freakin’ pain? Which brings up another point, when did it become kosher to put yourself in debt to finance an engagement (we haven’t even gotten to the wedding part) after you’ve already spent more than your fair share of money for some chick you want to marry? If you count up all the dates, gifts and other such things, you’re way in debt already. Now you spend some lump sum to prove that you want to marry the chick (if marriage is in your belief system/social construct). How exactly does that make sense? Ah well, it’s a lose lose situation. If this gets brought up, I’m a chauvinist, or just an unloving son of a bitch. Glee?
It’s now my weekend, and I am getting out of work now. My week has been suckish, and I’m pretty tired of stupid mistakes (mine or someone else’s misinformation [by mistake or whatever]) becoming a crucifix upon which I get nailed. I don’t mind my mistakes coming back to me and me being spoken to about them. I think it’s a little out of sorts that without any formal training other than trial by fire, that I’m expected to know everything and make flawless decisions. Everyone is busy, it’s not like we have days where we get just one ticket every 4 hours and we can take the huge amounts of free time we have to search docs and be totally self-sufficient. Eh, ionno. I’d prefer I be told I made a mistake and how to better resolve the issue than get spoken to like a child, written up, and then sent off with no more information than I had when the entire situation erupted in the first place. I’m sure that’ my bad though. I also find it cute that when I point out issues that are not my fault, but am blamed for, it’s perfectly fine to just ignore my input on the matter — also my bad, I’m sure. Whatever, it’s the weekend and I’m playing Star Ocean. Fantastic!
Ph34r teh Cute 1's??
Bunnies and chocolate! That’s made of win. Unfortunately I’ve read recent reports that said most women now buy chocolates for female friends, but they’ve gotten away from the tradition of buying them for the men. They just need a few public executions to straighten out their priorities.

Ineresting topic!
Japan girl buying chocolat for the man that cool…what about the US?
You said you’ve spent your share money for your woman that you want to marry with, that not bad,I can’t see any problem of that because of she is your.
Sound like you don’t want to get marry because of you don’t want to get more debt?
Sorry for your woman…

Actually, what I’m saying is, it’s kind of silly. If you look at the cultural aspect, of the entire tradition. What exactly does any of that prove? Other than to force one sex or the other to prove monetarily how much they care? How much does caring or loving someone have to do with the amount of money you spend on someone? It is always wiser to have a closer look at why people do things rather than doing them simply because that’s tradition. Tradition is largely a prison in many cases, to control the behaviors of others, and it is with that in mind that one should analyze all social actions before taking part in them.
But, you probably hadn’t thought of that before feeling sorry for my woman
