Me myself and I
Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:30 pm
I hope some folks still remember me - as brotherman already noticed i had been absent for quite a while. I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but I'm egocentric enough to offer this post in case anyone really is.
I turned 31 in may and against my plans I am still not a millionaire. Still i have decided to delay the midlife crisis and concentrate on living.
I have been to Japan 3 times already and going for a 4th time this August. It's quite obvious you can blame Shenmue for my obsession with Japan. Although this probably started earlier (Whuts the fuss about this country where video games grow on trees?) i think it was Shenmue that fascinated me for japanese architecture, lifestyle and the people. Quite obvious that when i went there first i noticed there is even much more about it than the Game You arcade and shrines about cats. It's just a weird alien world that in reality is like a big mix of Sega arcades, Manga and Bruce Lee movies. I learned to love japanese bamboo forests, I'd never have guessed bamboo can grow that high and dense. I really learned to love Tokyo, this strange mix of neon advertisements, speaking escalators and people pwning Guitar Hero with blindfolded eyes.
I have learned programming and specialized in making cheating tools for online games. I also learned a lot about programming websites in asp and php, worked a lot on my hacking skills and how to repair laptops. I learned a lot about online marketing, website flipping and webservers. I am currently building up a cheating community and we are finally having success with marketing strategies and SEO.
I'm still working as a network administrator at a German bank but it looks like they will soon outsource the whole IT department, so it prolly will change sooner or later.
I'm still single and thus at least dont need to spend money for wife and kids. Starting to lose my good faith in "love at first sight" as most turned out to also be "breaking up at second sight.
I nearly stopped collecting watches, but my notebook/Tablet PC/UMPC collection has grown with every visit to Japan. I still play airsoft, but the ocassions got rare. Only had 1 match this year so far, so not really playing a lot one could say.
Well so far about me, i hope everyone else is still doing fine and healthy.
