Let’s earn a few bucks. It’s not really a necessity since hardly anybody visits this page. It doesn’t hurt the website layout and it doesn’t annoy the reader(s). Who knows, maybe in a month I get many visitors reading my recorded thoughts.

Today I slept on the bus and somebody woke me up at the terminal. That sure took my sleepiness away. I always oversleep and other passengers always wake me up… and it never feel comfortable. Today while walking the busy streets of downtown New York, all I can think of was the passenger who woke me up staring at me because I sure wore a colorful polo shirt and it’s not so hard to spot me. I didn’t even get a glimpse of my wake up caller because I was so ashamed to face her.

I also realized that I’m getting thinner and thinner as the summer goes on. How do I know that? Well I had to adjust my watch band down a notch. I eat a lot too and drink a lot of Coke again. Maybe I just need more sleep because it’s summer I dehydrate myself more rapid than during the winter. How I thought of that, I don’t know. Speaking of sleep, all I did Sunday was sleep.

I’ve caught up with Naruto a month ago and I’ve just gotten over my withdrawal period. The series is not yet over and I think it won’t be for the next couple of years or so. They release two episodes a month and an episode is more or less 20 minutes long. It’s frustrating waiting for the next episode. Thankfully, I get to like Bleach. I have exactly 100 episodes to catch up to. (BTW, I’m also awaiting next episodes of Kenichi).

Naruto

My latest addiction. Since Ruruoni Kenshin, I’ve been looking for a series worth my time. I passed on Naruto a few times because I thought it is not up to par on the seriousness of Kenshin. Even after an acquaintance mentioned Naruto, I still passed on it. However when I watched At The World’s End, Naruto Movie trailer was included in the Coming Soons and the soundtrack struck me. I thought I should give it a try and see if the series really is full of energy. A few days later, I was bored and searched for a downloadable Naruto Movie and found one. The movie didn’t really catch my attention, but I found a list of downloadable episodes…and that’s where it started.

What I really like about this series is the main characted, Uzumaki Naruto. Not because of his techniques, which he doesn’t have the best in the story, but it is Naruto himself. He has no family and most adults in the village loathe him which also means the children are also distant to him. He supports himself. I was touched when he showed his frog wallet to his mentor and telling him that he saved every bit of his mission money. He is only twelve years old and he lives by himself in an apartment. The series is very specific Naruto’s lifestyle and I think it is very important.

Do I pity Naruto? Maybe, but his lifestyle is my dream. I salute his courage and perseverance. Good job Masashi Kishimoto for creating an inspiring character. Rock on!
