Belated New Year

I once said that I would try to blog more.  So much for that.

But it has been a while since I updated, so let me give you the rundown...

1. I lost my job the weekend of Another Anime Convention.
2. My girlfriend dumped me a week before Valentine's Day.
3. I am back in college.

First topic: I took a sick day and emailed that I wasn't going to be there. I get a call from the agency about my whereabouts. I send another e-mail, forget to send a copy to the agency.  Around 4:30 that afternoon, they drop the ball on me.  So fuck MDRC.  I knew you guys were going to ax me when the contacts list was updated with the new temp, with him having an official title and me as still a temp.  Fuck you guys.

Second topic: That will be for a separate blog post because there's a lot to talk about.  I will say this, I feel guilty as a manwhore for dating other women and not telling them of my status.  I had legit reason, but it still doesn't feel right.

Third topic: After being fired and doing another temp job, my unemployment is enough for me to live off of comfortably for a while.  So I figured that instead of job hunting, let me go back to school and finish up and get my degree, that way my job hunting will go a lot better.

That's it for now, peace!

Cosplay And Drinking

It can go hand in hand if you're smart.

So yesterday or Friday I stumble across this image below:

Now, as some who enjoys cosplaying and drinking, I was like "WTF?"  This shit is WAY out of proportion. I say whatever and move along...

Sometime later, I come across this:

As you can see, it's the total opposite.  It's the closest to what I agree with, so I shared that image.

But overall, in both situations, we have a failure to communicate.  It's okay to go out to the bar and have a few drinks.  It's okay to goto cons and cosplay.  But it is NOT okay to take both seriously to the level of where people look at you stupid.  One should not be at the bar and drink themselves stupid, nor should you see that cosplay is all there is in the world.

You know what? Listen...  I goto cons and at night, I hit the bar.  You know what I find there? Other cosplayers.  You know what we talk about? Everything except cons and cosplay.  To me that's how it should be.  What I said describes 80 - 85% of us out there.  Nobody's perfect.  You got those who binge drink and think they are Sailor Moon or Lightning.  But they don't represent us, and they never will.

So kick back, relax, enjoy a drink. It's on me.

Thanks to Dark Sakura, Onezumi, and Taiki for helping me to pull this image off... And Mako-chan for proof-reading.
