My Okinawan Mother-in-Law

After nit-picking my wife for more details I was able to jot down a rough outline about a few of 

the things regarding my mother-in-law. I posted it on HubPages with a link here to read it.

Survived the Battle of Okinawa, survived WW2 Japanese military occupation, 
helped to rebuild Okinawa, 1st born child taken from her, dialysis, 
meeting her granddaughter from her missing daughter 
minutes before she passed away.

The new season with a new Doctor begins in late August as a new trailer gives hits that it's going to be one of those dark and gloomy type of season. ;)

Kamen Rider Battride War II

My 2 boys are really heavy into Kamen Rider right now. Looking at YouTube videos to watching the shows through a program called KeyHole TV on the computer. There are a few websites that adds English subtitles which helps but also hinders their enjoyment of the show.

Two sites that offers subtitles of Kamen Rider as well as Super Sentai shows (before its watered down into Power Rangers) are AEsir and Over-Time. Both are very quick in posting the subtitled shows but at a cost. Too literal to the point they actually change the shows title and the characters names.

We will watch these but it's TV-Nihon that is the King of subtitles. More decorative and accurate translation of whats actually being said. The trade off is that it takes almost a week for TV-Nihon to complete their translation.

And now there is a new Kamen Rider game out in Japan called Kamen Rider Battride War II. And with Nintendo and their region lockout, there is no way we can play this game here in America unless we buy a Japanese Wii U system as well. Not all games released in Japan comes to America.

And they wonder why their games aren't selling that well.

My Future New Car/Bike

Toyota has a new vehicle on the market. I remember it on an old 

Top Gear episode and now it is ready for sale. I'll take the blue one.

Short Story - From Earth To Heaven

It took a while but I started writing another short story. I have tons of stories and ideas stuck in my head but the worst penmanship known to mankind.

Or we can all make a circle around the nighttime campfire as I tell the tale of how a common man became King of Mars and the treasures he tempted the Earth with. As he and his family lived a hellish life but held on to their vision of heaven. And don't forget, tornado surfing.

Either way, enjoy.

Americans Don't Flop For Soccer

If there's one element of soccer that keeps the majority of anti-futbol Americans on the far side of the fence, it isn't the low scoring or the foreign-sounding names. No, it's the flopping — the overly dramatic, theatrical, bad-high-school-play-style imitations of actual injury that halt play. 

Flopping runs counter to classic American values like "play hurt" and "rub some dirt in it, you'll be fine," and thus infuriates a certain subset of American fans.

That subset now has its justification. A film company named Fourgrounds Film has created a short film titled "Everyday Football Fouls." The premise is: What if the rest of the world flopped like soccer players? Simple premise, delightful execution. Enjoy, and make sure to watch through to the very end.

Feel free to use this technique yourself ... though be careful about flopping in locations that don't have magic spray close at hand.

MTV article

I will admit that I like this group. I can't really put my finger on why but unlike other Japanese girl groups like AKB48 that take there clothes off to sell image over substance, these girls keep their clothes on and can rock.
