It was a chill night. While I was waiting for Mark to come by so we can watch 24 Episode 11 before people strat showing up I was playing Lost Planet and after playing one level almost seven times I finally beat that damn huge monster so I was so happy about it that I kept on playing without a second thought. But then I realized that it’s time for 24 and the episodes are getting insane and I really need to see the next episode! One character that showed up that I wasn’t expecting this show just keeps getting more intense and I wanted to know what is going to happen next. There is a lot to find out!

Then we watched some Jeremy Clarkson Top Gear since when I passed by Hawally it turned out that the Ministry raided the DVD guys so there was nothing to pick up. And we continued to watch Top Gear since the Bastard was hilarious and annoying at the same time. They had blatantly bad comparisons, but it was still pretty funny and then we chowed down on some good food. A bunch of us were pretty tired and slowly passing out, but it was a fun relaxing night. I almost made them watch anime but some guys were going to kill me.

It seems that the heat is really coming since I can’t even wear my winter dishdashas anymore so I wore a spring dishdasha I have only two of them so I will be using my summer dishdashas as well.

I dont know when I get off work and the sun is still out and I have some good music going I feel like its just such a good day when driving
This combination makes for a great drive:

• Flowing traffic, so your moving at a really good pace
• Sunny outside
• Really good and relaxing music, making you feel that your in a different place
• Cool air hitting you

When driving with this good combination I’m really somewhere else sometimes, feeling like I was in a San Diego or San Francisco. Just totally being out of it and it comes to end when I get to my destination.

With the heat coming I just hope it doesn’t get very hot quickly since I still want to ride more and get some good riding without the heat.

So after operating the PC for over months on end only restarting it and everything else in my room, it has gotten a bit hot and my PC is acting a little weird so I decided to shutdown my PC and everything else that I don’t need to have on including my Network Area Storage, and a few other things. I only kept my router on so I could surf on my laptop which is off and on at a regular basis.

Shutting my PC off with the other pieces of electronics has led my room to be a lot cooler then usual which is nice, but I honestly feel like something is missing since I got used to the hum of the PC and other items when running.
What I have connected to the four power strips:

• 2 External Hard Drives
• 1 Network Hard Drive
• 1 Network Area Storage
• 2 PCs
• 1 Screen
• 1 KVM
• 1 Router
• 1 Switch
• 1 Access Point
• 1 ADSL ( I dont like the combined ADSL & Router since those are crappy in my opinion)
• 1 Phone Charger
• 1 Sound System

When I look at my power strips I wonder what the hell I have connected to it, and when going through it I realize its a huge amount of things connected to it and I only have 2 open points. Three strips have only 4 and one has 5 for a total of 17 and I’m using 15 of them. I’m surprised the power hasn’t shorted out from the use, every modern house should have some sort of server room at this point with networking points in the apartment or house.

Yesterdays’ weather wasn’t the best and I went around riding in the morning but I had a few things I wanted to do while sitting at home which was to go through my video files and organize them. I have so many series downloaded but they are in messed up locations and I dont even know whats being taken from me through Azuerus because the list is so damn long.

So I organized the following shows into each folders and I removed the tracker and files from the Torrent folder to get things organized:

• Studio 60
• The Class
• Jericho
• The Nina
• Stargate Atlantis
• Transformers (All of It)
• A few anime as well.

This helped to get things organized and I really liked that now I knew which episodes I had and which I didn’t so I would download more at a later point. I noticed that I have a surplus of shows so that I can download them later.

What I have noticed recently is that people have been using the memory of Sheikh Jaber and other past Sheikhs of Kuwait to plaster stickers across their windows. Whats sad is that very few might be patriotic the most are just using it as an excuse to have their car completely tinted. It doesn’t seem that celebratory to me, and the decorations that our government puts up is the same lights that they have put up since 1991. Its not as if this isn’t our independence day and our liberation day, there should be an event to remember the Kuwaitis that passed away fighting for Kuwait during the Gulf War and remembering our POWs.

I remember when I used to look forward to these two days to celebrate proud days in Kuwait’s history, and for some reason it feels like it has just been turned into an administrative holiday and nothing else now. Maybe I’m asking for too much, but I really do wish the government would get it’s act together and we can get Kuwait back on track.

This an interesting topic especially here in Kuwait. People you enjoy going out with and chilling may not necessarily be the right kind of person to travel with. I have learnt from living abroad there are certain kinds of people you can travel with and its usually the kind that fit your style and are flexible to a certain degree, it could take anything to ruin a trip.

I’m the kind that likes planning somethings and not plan somethings, and I usually like going all out, not doing a half-assed job. I also don’t like cheap people, they completely get on my nerves, whats the point of going on holiday if your going to be stingy. I usually save up for a trip for a while before going, and if I’m going to go on holiday I usually don’t want to hold back because I want to enjoy myself and relax. It doesn’t necessarily mean spending, but it is usually about being up for a good time. And from what I have seen its surprising how stubborn some people can get in different situations.

Another thing I notice is when people commit and then back out, what is the point of committing if your going to back out, and its rare they have a good reason to back out. I pick and choose who I travel with, and since I don’t get much holidays in the first place I save up my time to travel with the right friend. And keeping the group small is key to a good trip.

This thought popped into my head because of the last couple of group travels that have fallen apart since people were canceling the last minute and details weren’t being ironed out because they just wouldn’t commit. Pick and choose who you travel with.

I have been thinking a lot about this, I do get the chance to get my leg over a lot of different types of motorcycles but I usually don’t like giving a review of a motorcycle because I don’t I even have the expertise close enough to evaluate the bike fully and I would always want to do the bike justice. The reason I think I dont know enough is because I still want to learn a lot more and get much better at riding.

So the way I thought about it giving my impression of the motorcycle from riding it, what I liked, what I don’t like, what I would like, and it will be a working progress. Hopefully the information will be useful to someone. I will be rating different parts of the bike to give it an overall score.

This night I wanted to relax again, so I called my cousin and told him I burned the last two episodes of Heroes and I’m coming over, reaction on the “Right Now?!?!” my reaction “I burned Heroes, you will finish Vangaurd by the time I get there so we can watch it and Smallville, be ready or I will kick your %@^@#” and then I geared up and got on my bike. He was lucky I needed gas so he can play his precious game before I force him back down so we can finish what we started, I couldn’t get the show off my mind and I was really enjoying the ride.

We watched episodes 15 and 16 of Heroes and it was EXTREMELY worth it! Holy crap things just changed, and it was amazing. I saw so much, and so much is going on its insane! Now I need the other episodes! I love this show it just keeps getting better!

We also finished season 5 of Smallville and the ending left us hanging like usual but things got really interesting and I dont know what Clark is going to do next. All I have to say is that I never get enough of Lois Lane. And whats funny is how much they play on the combination of Red/Blue and Blue/Red in this series. I know its his colors but you notice it all over the place and I enjoy that. I’m going to be downloading season 6 to atleast know what happened, it can’t be left like that.

The best part was grubbing on some shrimp chow mein while watching tv, I didn’t really care to eat anything else, I love that crispy noodles at the bottom.

I decided that later in the afternoon I would go meet up with my cousin to catch up with some TV. I expected him to be playing some WoW: Burning Crusade, but I found him playing the new game Vanguard and I know he likes playing these types of games a lot. So I had to rip him away from the computer to get started on watching our shows. First thing we tried to figure out where we were going to get food from, but we started watching Heroes so that went out the window until we started getting hungry. So we decided on Fudruckers, and I totally forgot about it, turns out there is a small one in Dahia Abdulla Al Salem area which is pretty good.

We watched 2 Episodes of Heroes which was pretty damn good, I’m going nuts really wanting to know more but I’m happy I still have two more episodes which we will be watching over the next few days. Its getting really interestin and I want to see where things goes, this show has kept me on my toes.

Then later in the evening we were watching Smallville Season 5, we finished 5 Episodes which was the end of one disc and one whole disc, so at this point we only have four episodes left until the end of Season 5. One of the episodes on Smallville there was this little girl who could control glass and she broke my heart, I just wanted to pick her up and take her home, I couldn’t help it. She seemed so adorable and completely vulnerable! I like Clark, but she should have taken her in as his little sister! I can’t help it, she got to me!

We managed to finish a lot and then I got on my bike and had my joy ride on my way home, it was a very nice chill night.

When I finished up with the last series I was slightly confused because I forgot which anime I started and which one I was following. I want to watch one thing but I want to finish the ones I started but I can’t remember which one I did! Be it on DVD or on my PC! I usually like to stick to a max of 3 – 4. But after the last two weeks I have 6-8 sereis open and I’m not sure which one to finish up until a little bit ago.

What I have started:

• Ergo Proxy
• Flame of Recca
• Ghost in the Shell 2nd GIG
• Shadow Skill
• Zegapain
• Eyeshield 21
• Naruto
• Bleach

What I Constantly Watch:

• Bleach
• Naruto
• Eyeshield 21

What I plan on finishing up since I have the whole series:

• Blood + (I forgot about this until I went through my list)
• Ghost in the Shell 2nd GIG (Finishing with a friend)
• Shadow Skill (Finishing with a Friend)

Blood + is the main one that I want to finish up since I realized I had all the episodes. Too many animes I want to watch at the same time.
