What is your thing?
Ted Dibiasi, Cody Rhodes

So yesterday at Late Night at the HUB there was this comedian there who was really funny but he also gave us a great story...

I will no go into the story but I do have a words for thought:

Most of us are either graduating high school and embarking on the journey known as college. Others like myself are continuing our careers as college students and transferring. One of the hardest things is to figure out what you want to do with your life.

Do what you love. If you love your work then it isn't work. It is success at its fullest. Even if you don't make the money of movie stars you will have something that a lot of people don't... fun.

So I propose this question...

Who are you and what do you stand for?

I am Nikki I stand tolerance of all peoples. I wish to make the world see that there is no point in hating others due to color, race, religion, class, or sexual orientation.

What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?

I would become the best International Representative there ever was who will bring forth change even if I'm not there to see it physically. I want to bring the concept that people already have but are to scared to voice it for fear of the outcome.

What is your thing?

My thing is International Relations. I will learn how this world works from the eye of politicians and then see it through the eyes of the middle and lower class. I will destroy the perceptions and build new ones for a better society. No one is right and no one is wrong it is a combination of every ones thoughts in masses that causes destruction and sadness. It is time for the people who have a voice but are unable to be heard to shine. It is time of them; for us, to stand out. To yell at the people who hate for no good reason, to the people who say I can't and tell them to get off their lazy asses and TRY!!! What is the worst that could happen? Failing? So what try again. If it is something you want to do then do with all your heart. You are the only one slowing you down.

When you think of "your thing" does it excite you?

It should.

Are you good at it?

If you think you are then who is to tell you no?



People who failed at their dreams will tell you that you will fail.

I say fuck them.

Find your passion and run with it


Happy Birthday to ME

Well well well... today i am another year older. 23 to be exact.

Do I feel any older? No

Have I done anything amazing in my 23 years of life? Not really but I did get into one of the top 10 Ivy League schools in the US (go me)

Do I plan on doing anything great this year? I plan on paving the way to study over seas. rejoining a sport and be amazing.

That is all.

I'm a terrorist who is off to Greener Pastures
Ted Dibiasi, Cody Rhodes
[info]najii
Hello world!

I do live however apparently I have been labeled a boarder line terrorist...

Why is that you ask? Here is the story...

I graduated (finally) from Carroll Community College in Westminster MD. At first glance this educational institution seems grand and full of opportunities. However if you have been there as long as I have (4 years at a 2 year institution) you will see the horrible side of CCC... Now I will not go into details of the messed up things I have seen/heard/been a part of but know that it is there.

So in my frustration (cause there are many) I placed on my twitter (can find me as Nikkler) that "I hate Carroll Community College with such a fiery passion that if it burned down I wouldn't miss it."

Next things I know the Vice President of the college comes down and asks me if what he printed was my twitter page. I said yes. Why deny it my picture was right there smirking at me.

I said, "Why are you reading my Twitter page?"

"It is a public network. I can read it if I want to."

"Out of 4 some odd thousand students you choose to read mine? Plus the fact of the matter that you are in you 50s and I'm 22? Doesn't that sound a little odd?"

"... you can not threaten to burn down the college."

"I didn't threaten I said with a fiery passion there was nothing in there about my physically burning down the college."

"You  need to delete it."

"Ok. When I get off work consider it gone."

Now because "threatened" an education institution it is considered terrorism. NICE!! I feel like I made an impression XD

So I deleted that post off my twitter and decided to vent some of the wrong doings of the college with out ever saying Carroll, Community, College, or CCC. lol but i apparently I was the most talking about person on campus. new travels fast when it's summer session.

But so long CCC for I'm off to a better place (at least I hope so) called Penn State, University Park (their main campus)

You thought I wouldn't get very far that I'm to argumentative and wouldn't achieve much well look at me know I'm in Ivy League!

I leave Thursday, August 20 and I can't wait. Hopefully I'll have some pics to post to show how pretty it is there.

Been a While

Hey all despite i know that no one really reads this cause lets face it... I'm not a networking person at all so I don't have many friends who would read this. But that's ok cause i can you this to rant how I like.

Anyway like my title says it's been a while and a lot has happened as of late.

1. I graduated from Carroll Community College
2. I was accepted into Penn State's Main Campus in for International Relations and Japanese
3. I was accepted in Florida International University for International Relations and Japanese
4. That means I'm moving.

I really like Penn State's program so I think I'll be going there. XD

I think this is what I need I mean all my other friends have abandoned me for work and school and they only call me when they need something... well one of them does that. The other calls me when he feels like it (which is hardly ever or if he's coming back to MD and wants to surprise his mom). So yeah I think it is time for a change meet new people make new friends.

Yeah that's about it. If i feel like it later I'll post some pics of Graduation later.

ta ta for now.

Ayabi World Tour 2008
Ted Dibiasi, Cody Rhodes
[info]najii
So... Way back when I went to an Ayabie Concert in Baltimore, Maryland. I like Ok I'll support Jrock and maybe some epic bands will come to the East Coast.

So we got there and it rained. No big deal I've had worse so we get inside. And they were late. Again no big deal it happens. Equipment or what have you not working. So they get on stage and i know a lot of jrock are feminine but Aoi (the singer) OMG! They get through a few songs and they weren't bad and then they introduce themselves.

They can't speak a lick on English but again that is ok. Then Yumehito comes on and is the most obnoxious person i have ever encountered. It went like this:

Yumehito: HI!
Crowed: HI!
pause
Yumehito: HI!
Crowed: HI!
Yumehito: HI!
Crowed: HI!
pause

This went on for about 5 more times then he said his fucking name. I mean come one!!! Does he have to act like a spoiled child. I worked at  a preschool for 2 years and I have 3 year olds that act better. And they people in the crowed was like. "OH HE IS SO CUTE"

Uuhhh no he was not he wanted to get up on stage and tell him to shut up and get on with it. My friends Andrea was the same way. Did i mention we did some parapara? No?

We did. It was... interenesting. And after a few drinkings i was good to para para with the rest of the people. Now when i go to a rock concert i want to mosh head bang you know do what American Fans do. Not parapara.

But it could be that just Andrea and myself thought they were little kids who need a good spanking. Except the Drummer cause he tried to speak some english and he had the most amazing drum solo. So he was cool in my book.

25 MPH and a Fight with a Pole

[info]najii
So... my mother decides to get a motorcycle and takes the lessons and passes. She bought a Victory Vision. Now first let me explain this motorcycle... the bike is too heavy for her to place up right if she looses her balance and tips the bike on the side. So she decides for me to drive in the van and follow her cause I can move it with no problems.

So she's driving along and decides to get on Academy and doesn't release the throttle fast enough and ends up...

1. Hitting the curb
2. Hitting a speed limit pole
3. flipping in the air
4. falling on the road next to the bike

I think I died when I saw it and I ran across the street screaming her name. She thought it was funny... it was the shock talking.

3 cop cars
1 ambulance
1 fire engine
1 EMS carrier thing

come to her rescue. I was impressed. She wasn't that injured. Cut her left leg and got a knot on her right arm. The pole is bent really good and the cops were really cool.

Once I got over my shock my sugar dropped extremely low so I'm now in a veggie state >_<''

The end.

I bought Appleseed Ex Machina expecting greatness... What I got was Epic. Visually stimulating, great music, and so much more. It is suppose to be a sequel to Appleseed the move but you can watch in seperatly as its own.

Deunan is a human who is part of the Elite Special Forces called E.S.W.A.T for Olympus. Her partner and lover is Briareos a human cyborg who was injured during THE WAR and in order to save him he now has a cyborg body for the most part.

What is THE WAR: before there were androids, humans had a non nuclear global war that wiped out 1/2 of the human race. (THE WAR in a nutshell)

So for those of you who have watched the first movie are probably thinking "Yeah that sounds exactly like before!"

During the fist EPIC fight scene Briareos was injured while saving Deunan when another android decided to self destruct. Now with Big tall and metal in the hospital getting fixed E.S.W.A.T Commander decides to give her a new partner. Enter Tereus a Bioroid (an android that does not have the ability to feel anger or jealousy). The ironic thing about this Bioroid is that he looks exactly like Briareos when he was still 100% human. And why is that you ask? Tereus is pretty much a copy of Briareos cause he was "the most qualified". (He is just amazing like that).







Now Deunan is stuck having what seems like 2 Briareos'. Can we say tension.

At first I thought this was going to be the down fall of the movie. "How can you do something like that! Everyone knows from the first movie that those two are loyal to each other (Deunan and Briareos if you didn't follow my little world)." Or the great "OMG!!! THEY ARE GOING TO KILL BRIAREOS!" and last but not least... "Tereus is going to SUCK!!!"

As the movie went on you can tell that neither cyborg or bioroid were happy with each other and that and  A) Tereus is a copy and B) Tereus has the body that Briareos once had and wants.

BUT!!!! Tereus kicks ASS!! I didn't think I would develop such a bond with him cause he's in the way and all. But Deunan seems to start to like him.



Then the two manly men duke it out! And Briareos was victorious. (That's my BOY!)





However all is not well with Olympus. Terrorists are attacking and no one can find out who it is or what they want. Then after all the commotion is done with Briareos is attacked and goes berserk. Now he is on the run and with orders sent out to bring him in and use lethal force if necessary Deunan is not allowed on this mission (not that it stops her), and Tereus is sent out to find him.

Will he copy help Deunan and Briareos get to the bottom of these terrorist attacks or will he send Briarious to his ruin?

With beautiful action scenes, a rock influence musical score, and characters you grow to like quickly this is a must have for your anime collection.

Concert Hopping for Spring Break

Hello all. This may be my last post to you all... I'm am going to the
On friday. I'm really excited about this however... I'm working the next morning so no sleep for me and I'm running a campus wide event (I work for Carroll Community College).

I am a head banger, mosher, and jumper by nature. It is something that can not be controlled. It just is. So will my body survive? Maybe my mind and neck...? unlikely.

Plus That saturday night I'm at another concert
Then that Monday
Then that Thursday and Friday.

Then back to school the following Monday.

This is going to be interesting. I'll keep everyone (though no one reads this) Posted. ^.^

Good by cruel and sometimes Amazing world. Till next time.

Lent
Ted Dibiasi, Cody Rhodes
[info]najii
Ok people! I'm Roman Catholic and than means that since lent is now upon me I have to give up something(s) during this time.

My sister told me what I should give up...
Anime and Jrock. Oo X_x

But there are a few exceptions:
- I can still go to Katsucon, but I can't buy anime or jrock related things, I have to have someone else buy it for me and they can't give it to me till after easter.

- I can still download but I can't watch or listen to it.

- I can still work on my cosplay things for Otakon.

- I can still go the TOCT cause I bought the tickets already and since MUCC is doing a signing at the Tweeter Center (RUNS AROUND SCREAMING) I can buy stuff and get it signed.

This will be one of the longest Lenten seasons I think I will ever have...

But on a brighter note if I can last longer than Matt who has to give up Video games and Magic then I get $100 dollars. So wish me luck! ^^
