Weekend Continued

As you may know already, I had a pretty epic weekend due to that foodie tour I did in NYC, however what I didn't tell you was that the day didn't just end with the foodie tour in NY.  In fact it was just beginning.  After getting back to Dave's we decided to hit up an auction joint.  What you don't know is that, Dave and Steffie have been telling me about this place for a while now, and all I've wanted to do for the past few weeks is get a samurai sword.  And now that I was there, I was determine to bid and win one.

Well after sitting through about 2 hours worth of waiting, and wading through copious amounts of non-sense splattered with pretty cool things in between.  The swords finally came out.  Oh man, this was the time I was waiting for.  A few went by, and then finally, I saw the one I knew I wanted.  Whether it was battle ready or not I couldn't tell.  However, I liked the hilt and handle, I also thought the extra carry bag was neat.  I didn't want to pay 50 for it, and I sure as heck didn't want to pay 40 for it, but when I saw it for 30, I tried to lowball the gentleman and throw it for 20.  That didn't work so I went 30.  In then end I won the bid, however, not without stupidly trying to outbid myself one more time.  Ugh, I'm an idiot.  Hahaha.  Oh well, that's the way it goes, and that's just how I roll I guess.  To me a win is a win.  

Now here I am with a brand new samurai sword at home, and what do I want to do now?  Well, the first thing I'm doing is buying an Accusharp Knife/Sword Sharpener.  I'm getting this thing sharpened where I can cut whatever I want in half.  Is it stupid?  Duh, of course it is.  Will it kill zombies in one slice?  It damn well better, cause I'm getting a ton of books on bushido and sword work.  I want to be able to slice and dice zombies if they ever come to life.  I'm not messing around, and please believe, that sword is going to be a last resort, cause my guns will come first.  I just keep thinking the swords is going to be a smart decision on everyone's part.  I don't know how long a zombie apocalypse would last, but I want to be able to survive one as long as possible.  

As you can see, I may be crazy, but I blame TV and movies for all my idiotic thoughts.  Especially since all I want to do is just be able to defend myself.  Now since I have one, I would love to have another one.  And it looks as though I might have another set in mind.  Even though me and Dave missed out on an epic set that we had seen there, I'm not too worried since I've seen the same set on Amazon.com for a cheaper price.  So no loss Davie Boy.  ^___^  However, I did find another sword set for 65 and supposedly this sword cuts through fingers right out of the packaging, and you know what that means.  This thing is born battle ready, and Wei is looking to get one of these bad boys.  

Oh, and another thing, before we go bashing Wei about how katanas or any samurai swords for that matter are terrible zombie killing equipment...yes I already know that.  But this is if I have no other choice.  I pray that there will be no zombie apocalypse and I'm just a nerdy guy that watches way too much anime/Walking Dead/"Place Zombie Movie here."

  

What's the gun deal?

For the longest time, I have contemplated getting a gun license.  Okay, seriously.  I haven't contemplated, I've wanted one for years now.  I even applied, but I don't think I've been doing them correctly.  And now, as I read the gun laws and the whole entire permit process again, there is a possibility of me getting in trouble if I do it incorrectly.  However, I don't care.  I want one.  Now this is where it gets kinda tricky.  Now most of my friends are gun loving folk.  Actually, they all hate the idea that I get one.  I don't see the reason why behind it, however they are allowed to have their opinions so I let them.  However, there are 3 main reasons why I want, nay need a gun.  And I will go down that list right about...now!

Okay first main reason why I would love to have a gun, is for the obvious reason, protection.  Now the question is, "Wei, who in their right mind is going to attack you?"  Well seriously, I've lived a pretty long life now, not that I've made enemies or anything, but you never know.  Burglar, intruders, all of those things.  I think the simple idea is that since one of my neighbors have been tied up, and forced into a hostage situation.  Scary really, extremely scary.   I just want to have something to be able to protect my family.  Maybe owning a firearm would and could be that thing to protect us.

Number two, hobby.  I've played games all my life, and I've seen hunters and gun enthusiast talk about their toys.  I don't know.  It seems like an awesome hobby.  Going to the gun range on the weekend.  Shooting your pistols.  Talk of the town really.  I just think it's a cool thing.  Guns are cool...why wouldn't they be.  We use them when we're shooting down fake terrorist in Call of Duty and Battlefield, so why wouldn't I be interested in things I use when I play my games.  It just seems cool.

And last but not least.  Let's be serious people.  I want a gun for one main reason, and one main reason only.  I want you all to read this carefully, and repeat it after you get done reading it.  Zombie Apocalypse. One more time...I know you're reading it.  Z-O-M-B-I-E A-P-O-C-A-L-Y-P-S-E  Yup, that's why I need one.  You may not believe it now, or even 20 years from now.  However, I know there is someone out there dumb enough to create a virus/gene to resurrect the dead.  I.e. those ants that they have that are able to come back to life after death.  Yup, one of those things.  What do you think the next step is?  Undead super soldiers, yeah that's what's next.  So like George said, guns will be freely available everywhere.  However, guess what?  People that already own guns, well we would have the advantage.  I think it's correct, George is right, and he's smart.  I need a gun license, and I need one now.  Oh boy.

Yup, that's what I worry about.  So you know.  Enjoy!!
