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."

  

Fundraising

What has been going on lately?  Honestly, nothing too crazy on my end.  Living life, getting things prepared, attempting to get ready for a zombie apocalypse, making dinner, looking forward to buying samurai swords.  Zombie demolishing kits, and oh so much more.  No seriously, things have been getting pretty busy for me.  Between work and trying to train for this 5K, I've now officially added fundraising in the mix.  Yup that's right, crossing off one of the big things on my list in life.  Fundraising for a good cause.  Didn't think it be this year, however here we are right?  Crazy.

So lets begin this jib.  I've been doing this RTK thing now for about roughly a month.  However, I have not been doing any fundraising yet.  However, I began thinking I better start before the end of fundraising date.  Fundraising ends on April 26th of 2012.  My goal?  I just want to make at least $500 for Run Team Kina.  For some odd reason I thought it would be best.  I'm not trying to beg for money hear.  Just trying to get the awareness out for Leukemia and Lymphoma.  Honestly, I think it's a doable amount, so hopefully I will receive some donation.  If not, I'll try my best to make up the difference.  If not we'll see what happens I guess.  So that's the gist of it folks, just trying to make the best of fundraising, if you like to visit the site please see the below.  And if you can, please submit a donation, not only would I truly appreciated, but the people with leukemia and lymphoma would as well.  You never know what this future research can go to, and you never know who it may help.  Check out the website: http://los.runteamkina.llsevent.org/wei

Okay, well besides all this fundraising thing, I just realized that I also went to an amazing concert on Monday as well.  I may have mentioned Eisley before, and well, I went to an Eisley concert on Monday. It was an amazing concert.  I can't stop thinking about how good those siblings are, they are pretty amazing really.  I can't help but like them.  Not only are they adorable, but they are extremely talented.  I mean, amazingly talented.  I want to put them on the same level as Kina, however I'm not.  I just can't Kina is the awesomest.  Maybe it's just because I have a thing for girls with guitars or bass or rather, girls that play instruments in general.  I'm a sucker for them.

Anyway, back to the concert.  It was amazing, playing songs from all three of their LPs and then playing songs on their new EP.  It was good.  I love how they cleaned up on all of their albums, I also liked the fact that at the merch table I was able to pick up a copy of the "Valley," in vinyl format.  That really made my spectacular evening that much more special.  The more I hear and attend concerts, the more I want to play better.  I don't think I'm playing well enough, but everyone keeps telling me that I'm doing well.  I guess practicing helps a lot.

Hmm...let's see, not much else to say tonight.  It has been one long day, and I can't wait to get some sleep tonight, for now, evening y'all, and enjoy the Eisley video.  I like the second song better than Valley.  ^___^
