I can’t see!

i think i forgot to mention that earlier yesterday i destroyed my means of vision. so today was a big long adventure into the most expensive shopping area in all of China. there i found new eyes and also some headphones and some laxative (uh… not for me).

it’s illegal for me to mail pornography, pirated cds or printed matter detrimental to china’s society or economy in or out of the country.

i was thinking of getting some dvds here which really means that i need to get a dvd player when i go home. the likelyhood of that is pretty slim i’d imagine. i’m not going to get the dream machine computer that i was planning on getting. but probably some dell optiplex 8200 or something like that. neither luis or barry is on pace to hit 70. i’m on the lookout for more electronics and some digimon related merchandise as well. as a result of my large purchase today, i don’t think i can buy as much now though. see ya.

Man, being in China is really wearing down my english…

i don’t think anyone can beat this: I have Nomar on ALL three of my yahoo fantasy baseball teams! whooie! i’ve been nursing him all season on DL up until now. in his first game he hits 2-4 with a homer. whoo. i’ve at a record high 50.5 points in the hardcore pool too.

hey, all i can talk about is baseball despite me living in a whole other continent on the other side of the world. this new cafe i’m using has a wicked soundtrack. if i could post it i would. but i’m not capable. i still can’t find any engrish cds here in the market. these are the vcds i bought today: Fast/Furious, KOD, American Sweethearts, Driven, AI, and 2 others.

People play tetris in China!

i just played some tetrinet. the yanks massacred the jays. laters

Creepies!

i’m in a creepy room of comps with creepies searching for porn. later!

Smitty Signs On!

booyakasha!finally smith signs on. just as i suspected he goes back to the great t-wolves. they’re going all the way this year. their team is wicked. i’m so excitied. now i have one team to cheer in the west and one to cheer in the east instead of 2 in the east. besides, the pistons stunk arse. although ben wallace was wicked. but smitty can now have a starting role and he’ll be the primary rebounder and he can step it up finally. his last years he was on crappy teams (warriors, 76ers when the stunk arse, twolves he was injured, and the pistons who were also swimming at the bottom of the barrel) but yay! expect me to be cheering for good ol minny now!

oh yeah and i saw some pandas today. see ya later!

Ghetto Cheap Ass Mainlanders!

the comps here stink. at the one i’m at now, so may letters are rubbed off the keyboard the owner has taped little sticker letters to the keys so people know which letters to type. they also have this nice sticky feeling to them. i can’t open a new browser because it crashes the entire computer, you know in the system fault variety. so now i’m unitasking. mail> fantasysports> sports> blogasm> other people’s blogs> daily news> other news like that basically until i hit a half-hour or an hour or so. it’s billed that way. stupid. i should start on a new layout. i don’t even look at mine and too many people are on that crap 800 pixel screen resolution. it’s so frustrating to have to take them into account. oh well, when i get on a comp with jpsp or aps then i’ll start on something. i’m not going to edit from here. see ya.

Shoppang Spreeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

i’m averaging a buck fiddy for each of these:

11 VCDs: Final Fantasy (x5), The Fast and the Furious, Atlantis, Jurassic Park, Kiss of the Dragon and 2 others.

15 Music CDs: U2, Eminem, Destiny’s Child, Madonna, Some jazz ones (x2), Britney, Jessica, Underworld, Radiohead and 5 others.

9 DC CDs Shenmue, Samba De Amigo 2000, Spiderman, Tony Hawk 2, Sonic Adventure 2, and 4 others.

No cheap porn yet… I’m working on it. Hitoshi asked for the asian lesbian variety. Any other requests?
It’s not all for me, and even if some of them are, can anyone complain at that price? I know I’m not even thought I’m bargaining through my teeth in a language that I don’t even know how to ask for sex in.

On the shopping block: Hitoshi’s porn, more music, vcds, psx, ps2, dc and the likes. oh yeah, wares too. gotta get that photoshop 6.02!!!

It’s hard to keep up with Baseball when you’re not in the right continent, but I try!

This is the kind of research I do to get ahead in my baseball pools.

Roy Oswalt #44 ¡¤ Pitcher ¡¤ Houston Astros
Jul. 14: Oswalt told local media last week that his last name is pronounced “Ohs-walt” and the media is just starting to get used to it after calling him “Ahs-walt” all season. “It doesn’t make any difference,” said Oswalt who is 6-0 as a starter and 8-1 overall. “I like it to be pronounced right. But I’ll respond to just about anything.”
Fantasy Spin: This has no fantasy relevance, but now you can impress your friends and neighbors by correcting their pronunciation.

Ha! You’d think they use toilets here…

i took a dump yesterday. it was wednesday. my last one was last saturday. because of the time of day i’d say it was about 60 hours in between them. eww.

Dirrrrrty Mainlanders!

i am here in da mainland and it stinks. literally. smog and dust and dirt everywhere. it’s real annoying. expensive to use the internet too. i think that i’ll update as much as i can but it won’t be that often. no pics in the blog either. mail benny: benny@hiyo.org

i’m dead in all of my public pools. still kicking the hardcore one! yee haw. no screenshots this time. i’m writing a journal but it’s in pencil/paper form. i’d copy it out… but don’t want to spend the money. no one is posting in the giftee forums although there’s no point. all the cds here (vcd pc dc psx dvd) are all a buck a piece but it’s all in chinklish. it’s all useless! photoshop 6.01, dreamweaver 5, flash 5, 3d studio max, autocad 2000… it’s all worthless! gah! send any requests for food clothes cds porn to my mail. see ya daddyos. oh yeah, i found the transformers and final fantasy movies on dvd. i’m getting those latah.

So, I’m leavin… ON A JET PLANE!

i leave for mainland in five hours. i’ll see you there!

STP Live = Musical Ecstacy.

I almost forgot. I saw this thing naked.

Gnomes and Freedom!

French Gnomes Helped on Way to Spiritual Freedom

I had a lot going through my mind…

Purple Fever!

I can’t believe it, I have purple fever ALREADY! The season is some 3-4 months away. We got Davis for an average of $12 mil a year and we’re gonna get the Williamszes. The Caps stole Jagr, Venus is a hoe, Cal’s an MVP, Hasek has a viral infection… The Spirits Within was worth my money any day. I’ll get it on DVD whenever I’m able. I’m going to come back in six weeks with probably 50 cds of games, apps, music and movies. Hopefully more if I find a cool place. I’m spending all the yuan on that. I got ankle socks today, gotta buy toner tomorrow, drop off video games too. Oh, and Monday Raw was AMAZING. Truly. I can’t even recount what happened, it was so mind- blowing. The new 10BR is out. It’s also good readings. Finally got the denim jacket, I need to get sandals… the guv was hilarious on friday, though the hoes weren’t up to par. the new memphis express may not even have money to build a statium. How do you like dem apples Shane? Ivan prolly didn’t deserve to get knighted at Wimmy. I joined pyroto mountain. I gotta set up my pools for the next six weeks just in case. I may not be able to blog for that time. Oh yeah, the pilots had a wild set on tuesday. bbq and chillin at the beach till 7 am made me sleepy. And those were my plays of the last 5 days.

Like the sands of an hourglass…

it’s pretty obvious that i’m bored. i found one of those tiny hour glasses in my pile of junk. i’m just sitting around here in front of my comp, so i decide to time it. that time to i get? three minutes and nine seconds. i’m like double you tee eff? i get another watch and i time it again. three minutes and five seconds. argh… i don’t get it. see ya. that jason giambi guy is cool.

Wow, I used to pay a lot of attention to Baseball.

wahoo!it’s now time for a break. pauly quantrill is in the limelight and i couldn’t be happier. you can notice that in my pool, i’ve upped my lead since the last post with a standings image from one point to nine baby! cliffie floyd’s sixteen gs haven’t gone to waste, and there’s a lot of damn yankees on the team. in the news, one of those white co-stars from the movie the fast and the furious just recently imported a nissan skyline into the united states. i doubt it’s a gt-r though.

Big E Gossip!

Flyers general manager Bob Clarke says he will listen to any offer the New York Rangers may want to make for Eric Lindros — but he doesn’t care if the former All-Star center ever plays again. story.

So the Leafs and the Stars have both tried and failed to aquire Lindros, who will obviously never play for the Flyers again. The Flyers wanted even more than the Leafs’ more than generous offer. But somehow, it wasn’t good enough for Bobby Clarke. Now the oil-rich Rangers are going to make an offer for Lindros, and they’re probably going to overpay. They’d overpay even if Lindros was always healthy. They’d trade five star players plus draft picks for Lindros and then sign Lindros to a lucritive multi-million dollar contract. It seems like that is what any team would have to do to get Lindros out of Clarke’s icy grip.

But if you think of it with the preceding notes in mind, no team would be able to become a stronger team, especially with Lindros at the risk of getting a seventh concussion. Philly is weaker because they’re basically just not getting his services. No one is. Philly would be stronger if Clarke let him play, and it wouldn’t cost them any players, but Clarke is a stubborn old-fogey. Trade for Lindros, and you make a strong Philly team stronger for almost no reason! I say leave him where he is so that you have a better chance of eliminating Philly from the playoffs. You’re not likely to if you give your best players to them…. grumble grumble… stupid clarke.

Today I got a needle cuz the doctor said I might die otherwise. So I guess it was a good thing. I ate Dim Sum (Yum… I love chicken feet). I got a pretty sticker in my passport too! I should be plugging a new site soon.

Random Headlines

I yam what I yamThe PETA (people for ethical treatment of animals) are now saying that fishing is cruel to the fish. Fish feel pain and that to snag one with a steel hook, drag it along for 50 yards or so and then haul it out of the water so it suffocates is sick.

I mean sure, chickens that get their bones broken through mistreatment and shipping isn’t cool, but demands to the livestock industry transform into increased costs to me as a customer. Do I really want to spend eight dollars on a hamburger just so i can have the peace of mind that the cow and a few more square feet of space in it’s cage? When chickens evolve past humans, and are herding us around on human farms, I don’t expect them to treat us like royalty.

This is good though: School officials in Belgium have begun serving students low alcohol beer at lunchtime, believing beer to be a far healthier beverage than sugary soda.

A Flemish beer-lovers’ club asked schools to put “children’s beer” on the school lunch menu. At least two schools agreed, and one has launched a pilot program; more schools are expected to follow suit when the new school year begins in September. A spokesperson for the beer club, citing the risk of obesity and even cancer in children from unhealthy drinks, argued that beer is a healthier beverage because it contains less sugar.

PETA has always argued that beer is better than cow’s milk. While beer is fat- and cholesterol-free and contains no hormones or antibiotics, milk is loaded with fat, contains 20 mg of cholesterol in every 8-ounce glass, and is full of pesticides and antibiotics fed to cows, including a bovine growth hormone that can give guys breasts. The consumption of dairy foods is also linked to diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.

Doesn’t that just leave a big kick in the pants for the four food groups? I remember that Popeye’s love for spinach was created at the US government’s request because laboratory examinations showed that spinach contained ten times more iron than other green vegetables. To encourage children to eat the bitter leaves, the government had the cartoon industry create a fun-loving sailor who gained super-human strength instantly whenever he ate a can of the stuff.

It was later realized that spinach contains the same amount of iron as other plants. When the scientist was recording the data, he had misplaced the decimal point by one digit.
