MAN, IT'S OCTOBER!
Hey there guys! Do you smell what The Mask is cookin'?
Well it's finally October. Just a couple more months and Santa Claus is coming to town. Oh, how fast time flies.
October also means three things in my school life. One is the departmental exams for the major college subjects. That'll happen this week. Then there's the finals exam, which will take place next week. And the week after the finals, I'll have my 2-week semestral break. So yeah, life's gonna be pretty busy for your cafe manager. So if I can't go to your sites that much in the upcoming weeks, then you know the reason why.
But despite the busy life, I'll still try to post some stuff here. I still have some things to do in this site before THE BIG DAY happens, if you know what I mean.
Oh, and did you notice a little change in the site? Yup, I finally changed my theme from Mick Foley to Full Metal Panic.
By the way, our Big Boss Adam isn't feeling well right now. Give him a cheer by visiting his site.
Yup, today's post is unusually short. Now, let's go to 3FY
----------
THREE FREAKING YEARS
Some Gift for SomeGuy
In terms of popularity, the guy I'm going to feature next seems to be the most popular member I've ever featured. Some call him "Shanny's Bastard". Some call him "James". As for me, I'll call him "The Nature Boy", "The Hitman", and... "My Canadian Big Brother". Ladies and gentlemen, SomeGuy!
I guess almost everybody knows who SomeGuy is. You know, the GTO-lovin', article-writin', inventory-hatin' English major dude that everyone loves. The 23-year-old guy who wants to make things gu-ree-to. Yup, that's SomeGuy.
Okay, now what makes him so special that he's featured here? I mean, if I wanted to feature popular myO members, I would have featured the likes of James, Dagger IX1, bellpickle, or hell, even the Big Boss himself Adam. Then again, maybe I should whip up a feature on the boss. (I was supposed to make a joke about Adam-san, but since he's not feeling well, I'll just have to let it pass.)
Anyway, what makes SomeGuy special? Well he may not know this (and I guess you guys might have not known it either), but if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have become what I am right now. He, alongside the likes of Jon Stewart, David Letterman, and Mick Foley, was one of the peeps that influenced me in my writing skills and the creation of "The Cafe".
Why, you ask? Well, the story came way back on June 2005, when my article on Kaito KID was posted in theOtaku. He was one of only two guys that commented on what might be the worst analysis ever written in theOtaku. He made a generally positive review on the article, which was enough to make think less on the article's very low rating. So, I went over to his site. I read his posts a bit and was kinda impressed with his talent at writing. I even enjoyed the "Random SomeGuy Trivia" segment that he used to post before. Then again, the length of the posts made it a little bit of a turn-off for me back then.
When the year was gradually ending, I went over to his site on a few more occassions. Soon, I learned to like the posts. I liked his creativity. I liked it so much that I thought to myself, "Hey, I want my site to be like that. Forget about the length of the posts. I want to express myself freely just like him. I'm gonna make my site...A CAFE!" And then, the cafe was born. Oh, and if you're wondering how I made THREE FREAKING YEARS, thank SomeGuy for it because he was the original innovator of the "myO testimonials".
And then came the promotion issue (which was mentioned here) and the articles retirement issue (which can be seen here). Those two events made me regard SomeGuy as a great writer and a great guy. Hey, maybe he should change his name to "SomeGreatGuy".
I regard SomeGuy as my superior. Hmm...that sounds a bit too bureaucratic, so let me rephrase it. Just like I regard jomz as my "Pinoy Big Brother" in the site, I regard SomeGuy as my "Canadian Big Brother" in the site, even though our relationship isn't exactly like brothers.
Anyway, I wish the best in life for SomeGuy. Do your best, enjoy your life. And while you're at it, have a wife. Hehehe! And in lieu of recent events, I hope you do get the necessary stuff for the Asian trip and that the hassle will soon be gone. Take care brother!
That's all for today. HAVE A NICE DAY!
