Back dans les bacs
First of all for reference’s sake: Back dans les bacs
We are Wednesday, June 25th and I am sitting at the same exact office I was sitting at when I wrote the first entry 4 years ago on August 31st 2010.
It seems that the tradition is to rant about how long it’s been since I posted so let’s honor it: February 27th 2013, 1 year 5 months 5 days ago. What has been going on since then, you may ask. Well, let’s start in the order of importance a random order:
– Remember that girl Christine from the entry in February ? Yea so we got engaged sometime in June I think?
– I gave up on Japanese unofficially and not definitely (of course, it always starts like that). I was so close to taking JLPT4, I signed up for it, I studied for it but I just couldn’t do it. I fell off the wagon a couple of months before the test and I didn’t even attend the test. That’s new. My current excuse is “I want to focus on my career right now, when I move to California next summer (2015), I’ll get back to it” We’ll see how this plays out.
– I am working out. Yes truly. I’ve been in and out for many years and after all these years of not giving up, I finally managed to make it stick. I’ve been at it for 5 months now and I’m seeing some great results. I am currently 76.6kg (169lb in freedom units). I will be bulking until I get to about 175~180 then I will cut for a while until I am satisfied with my physique (or I start missing food too much)
– I am studying Software Engineering. That’s pretty new. Unlike Graphic Design, I clearly have no inherent talent for it (I just failed two classes this Spring, fun stuff..). Hopefully I’ll be done with this degree this year and be able to make decent amounts of money.
– I ditched the whole “Moving to the Philippines” plan and switched it over for a “Moving to California” option. Sounds better, it’ll support my career growth, it’s sunny, and I can go to the beach all the time :3
That’s it for now, here are some plans for future reference. I’m hoping I will look back to the following list and say “hey, I actually did some of this stuff!”:
– Get JLPT 4
– Get to 180lbs and back to 165lbs
– Climb a tall mountain
– Do a muscle up
– Figured out when/where/how I am getting my master’s degree
– Go on a southern Morocco trip
– Get a bike
– Get my driver’s licence
And that’s pretty much it. Going back to work (lol) see you in 6 months or so

Oooh, look who’s back after 6 months ! I was planning to write an entry when I got back home and I just got back home so…Anyway.
Let’s see what has been going on..let’s break it down :
– School : Week 8, 2 weeks left, so far doing really good, expecting A’s as usual ( 😉 ), hopefully I won’t get an F on that group assignment I have to do with that bunch cocksucking douches lovely kids.

LOWL, one year and a half since I drafted this post and never finished it and never posted it..crazy stuff.
Anyway, it is the 27th of February, Im in Rabat, Morocco at Hamza’s house. I just got my paperwork denied to live in the U.S after spending 3 years of administrative crap and tons of money obviously so..I am thinking about moving to the Philippines with Christine, my girlfriend since Cinco de mayo 2012. That being said, I’m just gonna post this and I’m off to play LoL. I’ll finish it later (or not)
Peace out

Taiyoooou *_*
Finallyyyyy sun is back ! (And no I’m not going to talk about how bad I am at regularly posting here for once [even though I am]) So yeah, sun is finally back after 6 months of typical New England/crappy weather and it is just awesome, it’s like free energy coming from nowhere, it’s kinda like neo, can you do that shit ? can you do that ? (Hopefully I’ll be able to understand that inside joke in a few years from now =D) But we can leave weather-talk to people I can’t really have serious conversations with and talk about some real stuff.
So lets see what we can start with. Japan is around the corner. It is in exactly 2 months and I am very excited about it. Hopefully I won’t have to deal with some kind of natural disaster again that will somehow prevent me from going where I want now that I have the opportunity..We’ll see, hopefully I’ll be able to post some pictures in here when I get back.
Actually let me take a step back for a while. After reading my previous entries, I realized how uncomfortable I was just talking about myself , I kinda feel guilty because it seems very selfish to aways be talking about one’s self even though it is a personal blog but still I am going to put more focus on others from now on and since it is going to be from my point of view anyway, it is going to be talking about me somehow.

Lolz unfuckinbelievable, I wrote this 6 months ago and didn’t even finish it like I was supposed to…I guess I can post it now and make a new entry when I get home ^^”

TROL 1001
lollollol, latest post 13 Nov, it seems like a reasonable goal for me is to try to blog once every 6 months rather than everyday…Oh well, I’ll try every month and see what happens.
Last time I posted something here was more than a term ago. Since then, a lot of stuff happened and I am glad I already posted two entries because I really enjoyed reading them 8 months later and remembering all the important stuff that is to be remembered. To give myself and potential readers some context, it is Spring tri, I just got out of my 7:10AM class and I am in the library like the typical good student that studies (or not) during his spare time. They are many things I need to talk about today and I will get started right away.
Soooo lets start with school, and by that I don’t mean to talk about those letters professors give at the end of the term that students think assess their value as human beings but rather to talk about the social experience and how it may or may not have made me grow as a person. This Winter trimester, I really realized how irrelevant working was if you don’t put all you efforts in it. At some point in life, we all wrote sloppy last minute essays and I am certainly not an exception to that rule. However, over the past 3 months (thanks to my very lovely brother towards whom I am sincerely grateful) I was expected to produce work of very high quality and I did not have any alternative but to sit for many hours, pay attention and put as much effort as I could to come up with the best result I could have. For some reason, it reminded me of the old days in High School when I used to pay attention to the work I would hand out and it motivated me to go back to those good habits.
Second important thing, I went to Guatemala. So far, this trip has been the most formative experience I have ever had. I came back a week ago, and now, nothing makes sense to me anymore and I am really confused. I am not sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, but what I know for sure, is that my eyes are now open to a new perspective on life, and even though I have seen poverty countless times back in Morocco, living with people that struggle and understand how they think and how they deem important helping each other in their communities just shocked me at a degree where I feel miserable for people that live a Capitalistic kind of lifestyle, that are not close to their family, that have very weak social connections with their friends and relatives and that only think about themselves at the end and I am pretty sure this is one of the longest sentences I have written since I left Morocco.
Back to the fun. Remember that person that I was obsessed with in the previous post ? Well I think it is a huge relief for me that fortunately, I managed to break away from that emotional prison and that I can finally think about stuff without having this person popping in my head every second. Although every now and then, my trolling friend teases me and reminds me of her, I think it is pretty much a page that I turned that involved many mistakes in terms of social behavior and judgement, and I hope that I will learn from these mistakes in order to go forward.
LOLWAT, 600 words, that’s what we call in Arabic “9allat chghoul” or “the-lack-of-a-better-thing-to-do-in-your-life-that-will-serve-a more-or-less-relevant-purpose” Again it feels good to let all those things out and I will hopefully be back here soon.

Expectations..
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it ! There was no way in hell I couldn’t have broken that promise of blogging everyday..that’s such a difficult goal to reach I can’t even think about it T_T
So here I am , 2 months later, I decided to start out the entry by stating how unreliable I am. You probably don’t care about that so let’s skip to the most interesting part : My life ! =D
I’m pretty sure a lot of you people out there might be thinking “Why is he talking about his life, doesn’t he have a sense of privacy or something ?” You know, this has been the topic of a lot of debates especially in today’s world where you can just google your girlfriend and find out that aside from being a cute and innocent business sophomore in your class, she is actualy big in the industry of animal porn..Not that I had such an experience but Im just saying that people should really be careful of what they put online, but on the other hand, who really cares ? Let people put whatever they want online.
One might argue, with a smiling face and the confident look of a winner of life : “Yeah but then, if you apply for a job, and your boss finds out your pictures of your dumb self getting wasted at a college party, you are probably not going to get the job, hehe gotcha”
Well….I don’t know about that. If you applied for a job in Morocco or in France, I would totally agree. They actually ask you to send them a picture of yourself in the resume so that they can fairly pick the people that really look white, clean, social and rich and just dump the arab sandpirate and his colored fellows. Now in the US, from my personal experience (because again, I dont have an expertise on jobs in the US) as long as you have the skills to back up everything else, you should be alright (unless of course you start dealing drugs in the streets with the logo of your company on the back of shirt)
Anyway that was the (not so) little cultural parenthesis of the day. Back to my life, we’re Friday night and I am taking a break from studying hard (or hardly studying) for my finals..Yes, finals already and I am done with my first official term at college..It is funny how fast time goes by…Only a few years ago, I was still a little punk lurking around the streets of Casablanca looking for stuff to do and of course, a high school student from a beautiful French school that doesn’t waste your time teaching you how to be creative but rather invests so much energy teaching you maths and physics that your nightmares start to include numbers and equations following you down a creepy hallway of formulas decorated with big paintings of evil mathematicians and physicists that want you to fail your exams. But I understand them, I mean, who needs creative people today…anyone can be creative. What we really need is someone who is able to solve equations and count numbers so that we can remove calculators all together.
I know I know I already went over my 300 words but I don’t really care at this point, I wanted to write as much stuff as possible in case I end up procrastinating and not writing during the next days. Before I close this entry, I just wanted to share two things (even though nobody reads that anyway but it’s more like something that I want to “let out”)
First one : http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/279601IMG1698JPG.jpg
Second one : I am having an issue with a certain person that I keep on trying to contact without being able to. I receive only one message back for every 5-6 messages that I send and I am wondering if I am overdoing it or over thinking it but I feel like a stalker sending that much messages on one hand, and I don’t want to stop trying on the other one so…that’s how awesome my life is..
Wooh, that felt good, now I can head to bed without having to carry that psychological burden in my sleep.

Minna san konnichiwaaa ! =D
Helleuw guys o/
This is Shibi and right now I have no clue why I am using “minna san” or “guys” since this is going to be my personal blog and I am not going to advertise it so…the chances that someone will read it someday is as small as a a piece of a french fries leftover digested by a squirrel that was bio-degraded into the ecosystems soil in the world of nonsense that I am currently creating. In other words, I am talking to myself, but if you happen to be one of the chosen ones that will have the opportunity of reading all that, make sure to leave your comments or like they say in France, the country of Moliere with his beret and baguette, “lassh t komz mdrrr hhh !! :D:D”.
Now that I think about it, it doesn’t even need to be advertised since it will tell the story of my life and unless you do not have one, I don’t see the point of you reading facts about my everyday life but I am not going to blame you because for some reason, we are all somehow attracted to other peoples privacy (getting weird…)
That being said, the reason why I created this blog was initially to improve my writing skills as you have probably figured out that 英語 (Eigo) is not my first language. Right now you are probably like “where in **** did that Kanji pop out from”. Well you are probably wrong if you think what I think that you think (complicated business right there). Even though they call me Shibi and I just wrote “English” in Japanese a few words ago, I am not Japanese (O RLY ??) I barely speak it actually, but I am currently learning it and I am going to be using this blog as a platform to practice and at the same time, to make YOU practice even if you don’t give a damn about it. (Caps lock is cruise control for cool of course)
Anyway, I have reached my 300 words count for today and from now on, I am going to be talking about more interesting stuff (or not) and post photos, maybe videos to enhance the ultimate philosophy that reigns over my interesting not so normal character and also on the side, to figure out what the meaning of life is.
