Arthur's voice is heard!

I was walking home after another rough day at school when I was approached by this guy.

He asked me a question. Taken aback, I bumbled around for an answer. I sputtered it out. He then took my picture three times and said goodbye. I was left in stupor.

The next day, I picked up the school newpaper -- this is what I saw..

I was like, "Who is this strapping, handsome young man oozing out masculinity equal to a thousand men?" Then I realized it was me. *pause*

Seriously though, I was surprised.

My voice is heard!
Everybody knows... that I'm a nerd!

Arthur out! ;D

Look what I found at the grocery store!

I went on a trip to Canada with some friends to show some of the Japanese students around. We had all-you-can-eat-and-get-chubby-lol-like-arthur sushi and did some shopping.

Some of the exchange students wanted to buy these Canadian cookies for souvenirs/nom noms for their friends, family, boyfriends. Couldn't figure out where they got that idea -- American cookies are way better, and American. Thin mints and Samoas? That's the super combo right there.

Anyway, I found this at the grocery store down one of the aisles...

I found the Philippines! I didn't know my home country was nestled between Maple Canadian Cookies and Double Stuff'd Oreos! I guess this counts as my 3rd visit.

Some other interesting finds at this grocery store...

Nice, cookies that make you shit!

Can't forget the rest of the family -- Ma, Pa, Lola, and brother need to take the deucey too!

Canada's interesting. Thanks Linh for taking the pictures.

Arthur out!

Beyonce Revisited

Remember this?

Now, you can remember this.


Yeeeeeesh.

You can sing about all the single ladies, boy/girl double standard, woman empowerment things you want -- I ain't mad at you. Not at all.

My Nickname in Elementary School

With a name like Arthur James, growing up I had alot of nicknames -- AJ, Jamie, Age (pronounce AJ), Sexy Ass 7 Year Old... you name it!

These monikers were good, but the best nicknames that I've ever received came from elementary school. I got the standard James and the Giant Peach and James Bond... but there was one nickname in particular that I'll never forget...

5th Grade, Mr. Howell's class. The classroom smelled of sweaty kids, armpit, and feet -- basically like the ballpit at McDonalds.

Mr. Howell was droning on about the results of some assignment while me and the rest of the kids either squirmed around in our chairs, passed notes, or slept. I wasn't worried about the homework because I was little smarty pants back then (maybe still am?), I was just desperately waiting for the top of the hour to roll by so we could go out to recess.

2 o' clock hits and we're free! I pick up the basketball and jet out the door.

But wait, I got this fart coming on. Thinking to myself, "Hehe I'll let it out and let all my classmates smell it while they leave the ballpit smelling classroom." Boy was I wrong...

It wasn't a fart. I pooped my pants.

My eyes widen from the sudden soiling of my underwear and the feel of feces nestled between my cheeks. I slow down to a halt. I then proceed to post up with my back on a nearby brick wall.

Shit.

I then start walking to the school office -- I need to call my mama. My friends started to call out to me...

"Hey James! Where are you going? I thought we were playing basketball."
"I poo'd my pants."
"What?"
"I poo'd my pants!!!!"

Hilarity ensued. Jerks.

I threw them the basketball and proceeded to go to the principals office to call my mommie for a fresh pair of white on whites -- Whitey Tighties.

Word got out, and this is how I got my most memorable nickname..

Hershey Squirt.

Sayonara tomodachis...

Today, the Japanese exchange students here at school have completed their 5 month stay. I've been involved in this program for a little bit now, but I felt more attached to this cycle -- we all kicked it more. My campus friend that I was assigned to was Kazuya, he's the guy in the site picture with me. I was in the middle of teaching him the american way! Kazuya's tight -- he's pretty intelligent and funny, and his english was prettyyyy damn good.

I'm going to miss them tho.



Here's some pictures that I scrounged up from friends, personal photos, whatever.


Some of the females of the cycle.

Can you find Arthur?

My guy (pause) Dex with Kiana, Yui, and Hitomi (kao ga tabetai).

Kiana with Mayumi. Mayumi's half Filipina and she knows more tagalog than me... wowowee. I only understand when my mama's yelling at me. And of course dirty talk... ;]

Mami and Dadi.

The BBC.

Hiromu and I, that's the guy right there.

Alisa and Saki/Sake LoL.

Import RPG and Kayako.

Doin' it real big, doggie.



Alex and I with some of the students during their talent show.

Talent show with Airi, suk it....

Talen show with Hitomi, oshiri tabetai desu.

Most of the homies at their favorite sushi joint, Moshi Moshi. Figures lollll.

Pizza.

Have a safe trip back ya'll! I'm going to visit sometime.. I just got this Pimsleur Japanese I, II, and III. About to dust off the Japanese skills from high school and put it into top gear -- learning a new language is pretty fun, but I got pretty lazy before. Not anymore!

Sayonara! Arthur out!

So I hit Rhianna...

... but she gave me the herps man.

The herps.

That stays with you foreverrrr, foreverrrrrr, foreverrrrr, foreverrrr on the dance floor.



I didn't really hit her, but people have said I look like an asian version of Chris Brown (I did not start this) and they have been giving me comments in person and on the internet -- "Why did you hit Rhianna? You gotta stop with that..!" What am I to do?

If that rumor is true, that Rhianna did give him herpes... man that's serious business. AND from Jay-Z. That's effed up haha. I couldn't imagine what I would do, because damn there is no cure for that -- It's for life, dawg.



But Chris, you didn't have to give her the super punch though. Police reports say that Rhianna's face was effed up beyond recognition -- like bruises everywhere on her face. Pretty crazy.

Then Jay-Z is sayin' Chris Brown is a dead man walking? Pulleeezze doggie. If anything, he's going to send somebody else to do it -- he wouldn't dare ruin his image over something he's not directly involved in. Besides, Jay-Z has done his own rendition of Chris Brown's Take You Down in the past...



But whatever, I don't really talk about celebrities... but since people have been telling me that I look like Chris Brown, I'd thought I'd shed some light.

Arthur out!

Arthur's Word: Kobe Bryant

I speak on the best player in the NBA. He's still a jerk tho.

I'm out.. need to buy some new shoes or something.

Also, I'd like to say that I love my lola very much, and that I wish her well as she travels back to Canada, and then the Philippines. I will miss you and I love you from the bottom of my heart.

The Power of Laughing Out Loud

Laughing Out Loud.

Other well known monikers include 'lol', 'LOL', 'LoL'. This is the most powerful internet abbreviation, hands down.

Why?

You can say anything to anybody on the internet and just tack this little expression on the end, and everything is taken lightly. And I mean ANYTHING. Crazy, perverted, dirty... ANYTHING.

Let's illustrate this. Say you're talking to this freeky zeeky girl and you trying to knock the boots without using the power...

You: I wanna give you a dirty sanchez and smash that filet mignon with the power of a tsunami.
xSeXXXi MaMi 69x: what the fuck?
xSeXXXi MaMi 69x has signed off.

Didn't work out so well. Let's now use the power of laughing out loud.

Arthur:I wanna give you a dirty sanchez and smash that filet mignon with the power of a tsunami lol
Jessica Alba: I'm moist, Arthur.

Boom. Easy peasy. LOL works. The reason? It has a light-hearted connotation connected with it -- it's as if you were smiling while talking to them in real life. So next time you're online and tryna halla and bring those relations to the next level, or if you're just wanna mess around... remember the power of LOL.

LOL!

Drat!

Video Games Live Concert Review

Saturday night was a night filled with emotions -- from happiness to sadness, from luminous jubilee to the dark solemn, from extravagant displays to intimate emotion.

No I didn't go to Rick's. Or Hooters.

I went to the Video Games Live concert! I went with my girlfriend (thanks for the tickets, babay babay!) and her brother + GF. The concert itself is the epitome of my childhood, and further confirms to myself how nerdy I am. Or kewl how I am, however you interpret it.

Video Games Live is a basically a concert that plays video game music from different time periods, from different companies, and from different franchises with various footage of the game displayed on a huge display. There is all a catch though -- it's fully orchestrated and accompanied by a freaking filthy choir. They played the standard Mario and Sonic, but also played music from lesser known titles like Mass Effect and music from gamer classics Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, and Castlevania.

I pretty much relived my whole childhood.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. There were some segments that struck a deep note in my heart -- like it captivated the accompaniment between the game and its music so perfectly. Sometimes I would become so overwhelmed with emotion that I was on the verge of... my eyes watering.

Fuck that tho I don't cry! My eyes just get sweaty.

My eyes didn't sweat though, it just welled up inside me and made my chest heavy. Bo$$es can be sensitive too.

But anyway, all the nerds in Seattle came to watch. Everybody would cheer, say their little nerdy quips (I kept mine to myself, but I definitely understood 100% of whatever was said or implied), fun time for all!

Oh yeah, if you start spreadin' the word that I almost cried at a video game concert... I'm going to take you to lunch, and by lunch I mean I'm going to give you a knuckle sandwich.

Arthur out!

A little nippy...

Just got back to school after a weekend at my parent's house.

Thermostat reads 48 degrees Fahrenheit in my house.



I'm cold. I'm going to snuggle up with somebody tonight.

(My space heater)

...

wat.

New toy!

I got a microcontroller from my embedded microprocessors class! I'll definitely have to fend off all the ladies when I tote this bad boy around -- this shit even has more pull than my mama's minivan that I drive in around here.

In fact, I wrote a haiku about it:

I got a new toy
It's green and has buttons, lol
spaghetti meatballs

Enough with that though, pictures!





I all tried to be a little artsy with it on that last one -- don't know how far you can get with art when you're dealing with *snort snort* microprocessors *snort snort chortle*.

Arthur out!

My Lambo is Blue...

Obama got inaugurated today over in Washington D.C. I watched the speech through my bleary, sand crusted eyes, slumped in my computer chair. Early morning EE labs... bleh.

I'm not a very political person -- I was indifferent regarding who would win. I know that sounds ignorant but I guess it's just the way I am. Eventually I'll poke my nose into that world (what dat smell like?), but for now we'll see where Obama takes us!

Oodles of Doodles

Sometimes when I'm in class, I just drift off into Arthur land and start doodling on the margins of my paper. I mean the class isn't terribly hard -- I'm a senior taking a 100 level class to pick up those electives!

Some doodles this week:

Some random female accompanied by a pirate. ARRRRRTHUR! Click for a closer view, disregard my notes about whores -- it helps me remember better when I interject my own... words I guess.

My professor. He's a funny and smart guy. Always has his own personal quips and anecdotes that I find amusing from time to time. Always rockin' the open toe Birkenstocks like a true engineering gangster. That model on his little projector was the assignment that we had to draft at the time.

If you're wondering why the people look deformed/cartoony, it's because I was influenced by the art direction of this XXXBox game Castle Crashers (I know, kewl rite?!)

Arthur's Music Vol. 1

I don't know where music now-a-days is heading off to.

I mean I enjoy most of it, but it has no feeling, no emotion, no soul.

I mean it's great when you talk about moving kilos and kilos of various narcotics, or how many promiscuous women you have had sexual relations with, or how you have received fellatio from my intimate sweetheart and then proceeded to share with your compatriots, then slapped my mother. All for the neighborhood you reside in.

But sometimes you just have to take a break from all that. Sometimes you need music with feeling, music that makes you cringe inside and made you go...

With that, I present you Troop - All I Do Is Think of You

Right when the beat drops and he goes "neh hooooooooooo heyayayayyy", WOW. They sing with so much emotion, something that is so absent in music today. I don't even know if music will ever get back to this. I mean, who's going to bring us back? Justin Timberlake? Pfft.

This song is that shit tho -- I wouldn't be surprised if my parents told me I was conceived to this song. Kinda gross but yeah.

Hope ya'll enjoy. I'm going to do a post like this maybe once every week -- get ya'll educated on the game!

Arthur out!

Arthur's Breakfast Vol. 2

Bored on a Saturday morning, I decided to take you guys on a whimsical tour through my kitchen, soul, body, and mind.

Let me give you an inside peek of Arthur's Breakfast -- where real work gets done, where real magic happens, and where real men get fed.



Arthur out!

Jumping Jacks -- Harder than you'd think...

Growing up, jumping jacks were the easiest thing for my pudgy wudgy body to do -- it was the push-ups and sit-ups that got me.

Although apparently, people on the other side of the world have a little bit of trouble doing them...



I mean seriously? I've watched this so many times and I still laugh -- dudes lookin' like they doing the Chicken Dance x I'm A Little Teapot collabo. Dude on the right takes the cake (even though I don't like cake).

Back to School Today!!!

Happy New Year's - A year-in-review!

A year has come and gone -- for both real life AND this blog.

Remember this? My first post!

Can you believe it? I didn't even realize it until now. I've actually written in this blog for a year -- a year of me talking bullshit, a year of me talking knowledge, a year of me talking sexy.

With that, I'd like to highlight some of my favorite entries that I've written over the year. Looking back though, I think that every entry I write is pretty awesome. I'm not even joking when I say this. I mean sometimes I'm short on time and just share a YouTube video, but that YouTube video is the creme de le creme of the internet. Guaranteed. Pretty narcissistic of me, but I think that comes with the territory when you visit this page... am I right? ;]

The Computer Love post
This was where I talked about how to figure out if a female really wants to knock the boots or just wants to play checkers with you. I picked this because it was my first "Arthur Wisdom" post.

Smells like Chimmychangas! post
This entry was when I wrote about getting thrown up on in a club in Seattle, sitting in my girlfriend's car with her some of her familiy without my pants on, eating a hotdog. It was a good hotdog.

My pie post
Pie shits on cake.

My MySpace Survey post
Entry where I delve into the complex relationship between girls and MySpace surveys. Arthur Wisdom at its finest. I even participate in a survey to put myself in a female's shoes. Then in their pants -- not literally though. See what I did there?

My pooping in a corporate environment post
Once you read this, your chances of taking a deucer undisturbed will go up 200%.

Runner-up: My awkward work story post where I pass insane amounts of flatulence in the elevator thinking I would be by myself, but instead receive an unexpected guest.

My maui chips video
Was my first video where I felt my video editing skills have reached a new level. I was really happy with how this turned out. Pretty much everything was impromptu -- it was just me and my brother acting ourselves. This led to me making breakfast for you guys and showing you how excited I get when snow first touches down.

There are many entries that I left out -- I think I have a total of around 100 posts? Pretty crazy. But anyway, these are the ones that I, myself, Arthur, the man, the king, the bo$$, find particularly dear to my heart.

Take it easy, and let's usher in a great new year!
