Today, for the first time in my life, I did a double wammie! I first drove myself to MEPS at Moffet Field and was terribly nervous cause I thought of getting lost, especially when ur at a strict facility area--its easy to be suspected of things. Anyway, I met up with SSG Lopez and went in. They checked me out and I was sitting there waiting. While I was waiting, there was a pretty cool girl sitting next to me and then I got called into the testing room where I will be straining every ounce of my neurons.
After the test, it was a doozy--I think I may have acted wierd in front of the test administrators. Anyway, I got out and found that same girl again, a guy who nodded at me, and a girl who was doing wierd steps on teh floor, but either way, it felt like we were all there together--brothers and sisters or something you know?
I left the building quickly and as I came out I was smiling and laughing...that I got a 90 on the ASVAB (not as good as Martin's or Albert's but..) Impressive! Unbelievable! And so I called SSG Lopez and told him about who also told Ana about it as well.
Then I drove home on the Bayshore highway, and man, did it felt like that day where I went to Victoria's pageant thing..it was an awesome peaceful feeling like ur near teh beach and the sun is setting. I got caught in traffic but i was able to see teh sights and pretty soon traffic flowed through and it felt like something out of Need For Speed Underground 2; where all the city lights, bridges, and roads all intertwine with the cars and buildings causing a breath taking urban scenery.. *.*
ITS FRIGGIN AWESOME. I think this is the point where I start loving traveling..and the Night Life >:]

To the Recruiter!
Today, I spoke to the recruiter (FINALLY) with Analisa and Karina. It was pretty awesome. SSG Lopez was really cool and all. We discussed stuff about the Army, had my questions answered, ate, and chilled for five about hours. I took the Preemptive test and now Imma take the real ASVAB soon.
In the beginning, it was funny. I started leaving at 1117 and called ana and she walked from windys to my place--it wasnt a long wait. And so we set off towards mclaughlin and thats when karina asked us she needed a ride which i thought she was driving there herself.
It took us like a half hour to finally get to the recruiters. But it was worth it cause later after we left the office we went to jamba juice and got a good discount. ^_^o
however it was strange that tehre were cops around yerba buena high school. i guess it was thier spirit day/ special event or something and that the cops were crowd control.
ehhhhh fast post

Haibane Renmei
Yes, this is my very first post in a while. I have been watching a shitload of animes and have concluded many thoughts about them philosophical-wise and entertainment-wise.
And I just want to start of with..Haibane Renmei.
By golly, this anime is quite the most saddest, peaceful anime I have ever seen--but then agian im really sensitive and into emotional things.
In the beginning its really interesting to see the birth and introduction of Rakka and the Haibane of Old Home. The town itself exists solely for the Haibane including the Walls, which are forbidden to be touched, and the Communicator of the Toga, who cant be spoken to unless permissed.
The everyday life in the sure-as-peaceful town is suddenly interupted by sudden questions of existentialism and a searching for a past in dreams. Rakka will soon learn how the system works and how she can help her friend be freed of her Sin.
The reason I love this anime is because I first found out that the same artist who drew for Serial Experiments Lain drew this as well--and, no kiddin. The art is soo his style and it looks fucking great!
Art may be one factor, but the style is nice too. I love peaceful animes, especially, the one that shows aspect to aspect scenes and letting the beauty of everyday life stand still and significant.
But perhaps what makes this anime memorable is the music and the sad twisted story. The music is friggin mellow and soothingly sad..it makes me wanna cry and remember all who has been involved in the anime. The Town and it's denizens, the Haibane, and the slice of life genre. People live day by day and then soon have to move on, towards something greater, leaving loved ones behind.
To conclude, this anime is friggin awesome going at only 13 episodes long. Oh, and a side note, its good to watch this in the fall/winter. I highly reccomend this and applause at the creator. Thank you Japanese people! ^_^o btw this animes in french as well which is nice--more ppl to recognize animations!
(have you noticed why all the good animes--besides OnePiece--are short? I mean, they range from 4-6 episodes to 13-26 episodes and sometimes just end there because it is the end)
