Did you catch Obama?

Ladies and gentlemen, 

I've been inspired by a great man whose vision has brought me back home to America. Barrack Obama. This man is the vision of a new America. His vision of an America that is unified, equal, and, most importantly, about the people is something right out of a Martin Luther King dream. Obama is that person to make those dreams come true for us Americans. Let's face it, our economy and our well being is as flacid as old mans penis(sans the viagra). Hell, we are so broke we are borrowing money from China to help us bring our economy back. 

We need someone who is strong and willing to thrust his mighty staff at the government, lobbyists, and dirty corporate phucs and tell them "enough is enough." Stop phucking with the American people. You're own people and give back to them. Don't send jobs overseas just to save a buck. You do that and what happens? Americans lose jobs. BTW 8 years is enough! If you watched Obama speak or if you've been keeping up with the Democratic National Convention (DNC) you know what I mean. 

It's time to take this country back!  This is the year of the Democrats. (I should say its the year of the American people) I've been a proud Democrat since 1993 when Clinton was president. Clinton did a wonderful job before his little incident. Aside from that, he was one of the best damn presidents this country could ever have. Obama will be the continuation where the Clinton Administration left off. I truly believe he will lead us to a better and brighter future and under his presidency will help move forward in building a better America. 

BTW, did you see that one emotional chick at the DNC two days ago who said she is a "hardcore Democrat" and said because Hillary is no longer in the race she may have to stay home and not vote. FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! To me, that is not a true Democrat. She really pissed me off. This lady is missing the point. I think she wants another 4 more years of Bush's failed policies. Policies that will be proceeded by McCain if he does get elected. To that biotch, listen to yourself. Are you willing to put America through 4more years of war? Are you willing to put America in the hands of a person who would like to see your money fund this war in Iraq instead of using it for furthering the American education system? Are you willing to put your families financial future at risk all because Hillary didn't win? Lady, you are full of shit and a freaking coward. Didn't you hear Hillary Clinton say "No way, no how, no McCain?" I guess she was taking a shit while she made that speech. 

Anyways, VOTE OBAMA. This coming November get out of your house and vote. If you are ready for a change vote Obama. If you are ready to take our country back and give it back to the people vote for Obama. If you are tired having to struggle to hold down the fort at home and at work vote for Obama and he will do his best to help you. Be inspired. Be ready for change. Dream big. Pray for a better America. Vote Obama!

Woop! It's the weekend (^_^)

Well, it looks like I survived the first week at my new job. So far I have to say the work itself is easy. The only thing I have to get used to is the process of how things work at the Print shop. Overall, I think I'm going to like this job. It keeps me busy plus the time goes by really quick because I'm having a fun time designing. Soon, I'll be interacting with customers. I have to memorize the pricing and procedures. There's a lot to take in and consume but I'm not worried though. I feel confident that I can do it. Gambarimasu! So the next step for me is to try to become knowledgeable about the companies graphic services so I can verse it well to the clients. It's going to be one hell of a ride but damn its fun! Speaking of rides, my 2009 Mazda3 is off the heezee beezee! I finally have a cd player to play my music. My old car had a tape deck which sucked bcoz I wanted to listen to my jpop which were on cd's. Now that I have a cd player it's been nothing but Crystal Kay, CSJH, Mflo, and Monkey Majik. Life is great.

Oh, a couple days ago I stopped by the mac online wesbite to look for new widgets and I came across this page for a music widget...

...and what do yah know. Monkey Majik's lyrics for "Around the World" are displayed on this page!  Cool desune?  Got to love dem Japanese speakin' white boys from Canada. I love hearing Blaise Planets voice. He has this vibe to his voice that makes me want to break out and sing. I had their song "Together" on repeat and I think in one commute drive I have memorized the song. Crazy. Great music.

Alright it's time to start the weekend. I have to figure out what to do. I don't have to worry about homework or anything this weekend....oh wait...it's pay my bills weekend. damn....

To close this post, here's the new music video from Monkey Majik called "Tada Arigato."

Monkey Majik-"Tada Arigato"

Have a great weekend everyone. Peace

Good Day Bad Day.

Hello folks! Today was my first day for work with the company I applied for. For privacy issues, I will call my job the Print Place. So far it has been a bit overwhelming, but that's a given for the first day on the job. I have to learn a new system on how to handle files. I'm sure in time I will be comfortable with the process so I'm not worried at all. I finally got my own plans for Medical, Dental, and Vision. I'm definitely excited about that. Overall, it was a good day until I hit lunch time. As I was buying some Taco Bell I couldn't find my ATM card. I was like "Sh!t!" I ended up using my toll money to buy lunch. That reminds me, I have to sign up for FastTrack. That way I don't have to go the bank every weekend to scurry for toll money. After I found that I couldn't find my ATM I became a little antsy because I usually don't lose stuff. When I got home, I looked around my house. Nothing. Looked on my account online to make sure nobody tried to use my card. No activity. Then I went to the last place I was at when I last used my card. Drove to Kinko's. Nothing. Came back home, look around my room and YAY!!! I found my ATM card! It was camouflaged in the mess of my room. I didn't see it the first time. I'm glad I checked twice. Errr four times. I have to clean it again. Anyways, my bday becomes good again. Happy happy desu!

Well, tomorrow is going to be another interesting day. I hope I get to do some actual work. I'm excited to do some graphics and fixes. Just to let you know, "fixes" are jobs that some designers hate doing, but it has to be done. Remember if your printing with a printing press remember to read the directions carefully about cuts, bleeds, and safe zones. Make sure to get it right otherwise your file will get kicked back and you would have to submit it again the right way. 

Well, its almost bed time.  Before I go here's a vid of SNSD calling for SM global auditions for Girl's Generation. I'm just amazed at how intelligent and cultured these girls are. Each has their own trait and strengths. I like how some members speak different languages. Check out this vid. 

Man, just lovely. Alright time for bed. Oyasumi

I got a new car!

Wassup folks! Genki? Me? I'm super genki! Why? I just bought a new car! Check it out y'all!

This is a 2009 Mazda3. This baby is off the hook. We got a damn good deal on this car. When I say "we" I'm talking about my dad and I. I have to give it up for my pops. He is a great negotiator. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get the car at the price I got it. I'm so happy. My old car was a 1999 Ford Escort. We had some good times. I definitely will miss my old car. To tell you the truth, it was hard to make the transition because I really liked my Ford. Thus, with this new car I will make sure to treat it like I did with my old car. I'm gon' ride it till the wheels fall off. Time to ride!

So for the time being, I won't be able to go out for a month or two. I want to build up my funds again because I have another important event coming soon. My fiance will be coming soon so I want to make sure I'm good with my money to support her. Like I always say, it's going to be a journey, but I'm up for the challenge. Like my fiance says "gambarimasuyo!" Take care everyone. 

Brushing up on the skills Part 2

Here's another piece I made. Check it!

Brushing up on my skills

This Monday I officially start my new job. This morning I felt the need to design because it just occurred to me that I didn't really design anything since I came back from Japan. I was like, man, I better brush up on my skills or else I won't survive in this industry. So in light of my little situation I made a small 8.5x11in poster. This poster was really just for fun. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy.

I GOT THE JOB!!!

After a nut crushing week, I've finally received a call from the place I applied to. Guess, what? I got the job baby! YEAH!!! I'm stoked, excited, waku waku desu, and crazy happy right now. Yesterday, I was with my good friend AspirationsAdvancement and we ran into the people who interviewed me at PF Changs restaurant in Emeryville. My friend said, "bro that's a sign man." At first I was like, maybe, but then when I got the call that made everything come together. Btw, sorry for the run on sentences. I'm too excited to write perfectly. Anyways, I officially come on board Monday. It's going to be an experience for me because I never worked in a real Graphic Design studio. No matter what happens, I'm ready to take on whatever task they give me. I'll do my best. I'll work hard for my fiance, our future, and life. It's going to be one crazy road ahead, but I will never give up. Gambarimasu!!!

To celebrate here's the live performance of Perfume's song "Love the world."

Alright everyone. Wish me luck at my new job. I'm going to need it. Peace

A lazy day

Well, today I spent it on my bed watching movies and drooling over the olympics. I was so lazy today. I guess it was just one of those days. I was going to call my good friend at Aspiration Advancement to hang out, but I just did not have any energy. I need to get my arse up! Need energy...

Anyways, did you see the intro for the Olympics in China? Damn, that was soooo cool! I have to commend the producer who put that together. I'm so amazed at how so many people can coordinate themselves and become in synced with each other to create something that was so memorizing. Simply beautiful. I'm having trouble finding a good video that showcases the intro. With tight rules on copyright, we probably won't catch any cool vids until after the games are done. I'll just be optimistic and hope someone will post some vids up soon.

Since I can't find any vids on the intro let's listen to some of Crystal Kays tracks from her new album 'Color Change.' Enjoy!

Toki no Kakera

Itoshihito

Kaerimichi

I've always been a fan of Crystal Kay ever since I heard her song 'Candy.' Her voice is very beautiful and no matter what track she is on she can make it into something great. I wish her all the success for her new album. 

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm at the final phase for the job I applied for! I'm competing with another person for the job so I pray to god that I will be the top candidate for this position. I will reveal the outcome as soon as I get word from them. Most likely, they will call Monday or Tuesday. I'm really praying that they do call me. The amagi walker is waiting to buy his new car. Here's another pic of it. Enjoy!

Man that's a cool car. Alright everyone. Time to get back to the olympics. Peace!

Back from Interview Two

Man what a day. Today, I had my second interview with the company I applied for. Again, the interview went well. A couple of things I should have brought up, but I was too excited to think. I got a chance to meet with the major heads of the graphic services department. Everyone seems very nice. Very laid back. I was dressed in a suit. The employees rocking ecko and other flashy name brands. I was like, huh. NICE!!! No suit for me please! Anyways, during my interview I suddenly fell sick. I thought, maybe I'm nervous or hungry or I had gas. It turned out that I had the good ole' diarrhea. Yuck right? Sucks...So I was sitting there being interviewed and I was just dying. I felt like fainting, but I had to keep strong and do my best to make it through this interview. Long story short, came home and well...yeah...shitz city.

The graphic services manager said he will give a call next week to let me know whether or not I got the job. I'm praying that I do. I need a job to support my fiance once she comes. I need a new car too. I'm so ready for a new car. I really want to buy a Mazda3 5door Hatchback. 

I've been eyeing this car for a while and I'm just in love. If I get this job, I'm going to buy it. My 1999 Ford Escort SE is failing me right now. I'm due for an upgrade. The stock rims already look crazy  hot, but I want to swap them for 18's or 20's inch rims. My future car is going to be hot! Watch for it here on Bento Beat Boxing.

Let's move on to the vids. I came across this rap group from Sweden while researching Diversidad. If you don't know what I'm talking about. Check a couple posts below this. It gets into the whole unifying Europe ish. This group is called LoopTroop. They've been out for a while, but they are new to me. Check it, they can rap in both Swede and english. The rap more in english though. Man these white boys can rap! Definitely great sounding Hip Hop. The weird Jesus looking dude 'Promoe' got flows. He should battle Emenim. I wonder if he can hang. Man, they need to battle. Check out there videos.

LoopTroop-Don't hate the Player

Fort Europa

Top Dogs(Just the Song. No vid)

Definitely check more of LoopTroop. Promoe has a few solo projects check him out too. Alright everyone. I'm going to rest. I need to rest my body. I am one of the Pallbearers for one of my good friends Mom. My she rest in peace.

Auntie Pet RIP. You are definitely loved and you will never be forgotten. Good night everyone.

Today, I had my first interview. Phew!

Well, I just had my first interview with the company I applied for. It was intense. Although, I have to say that I wasn't nervous at all. Everything felt like it went smoothly. I answered all the questions to the best of my ability and had a good time conversing with the person interviewing me. I guess they like me because I'm scheduled for in-person interview for Thursday! YATTA!!! I'm excited. There's going to be more people this time. I'm pretty sure they will be critiquing my work and see how I interact with others. Ya know, the good ole filteroo. I think I'll be ok. I just have to be myself....quirky and nerdy. haha! The recruiter said he'll call me tomorrow to schedule the next interview so I'll be patiently waiting for his call. Again I'll keep you updated to let you know my status. Peace

I have an interview tomorrow!

Yeah!!! I just got a call from one of the companies I applied for in Oakland. I have a phone interview tomorrow! YATTA!!! I'm so happy. I have to prepare myself mentally. I must admit, I don't like phone interviews. I'd rather be face to face with the person interviewing me. In this case, I have to get comfortable. Mostly, I have to be prepared and come into the interview without being overly enthusiastic. Of course, I want to show them I want the job, but I don't want to come off as 'this guy sounds like a lot of bs.' Yah know what I mean? Anyways, I just wanted to let y'all know yo homeboy Amagi Walker is almost in. Well, time to go back to finishing some freelance work. Alright everyone. I'll let you know what happens after. Peace!

Still Looking...

Good evening everyone. Well, its been a couple of days on the job hunt. Still, there are no replies...Kanashii(sad). Today I applied for the Graphics Coodinator Position with Williams-Sonoma, Inc., SF. The position is right up my alley. I was running down the list of objectives/qualifications for this position and I believe I can deliver on them. I'm confident I can deliver. Again, wish me luck. I'm going to need it. 

This weekend, I got bit by a mosquito on one of the worst parts of my body. My BIG toe. It really sucks. I made a mistake by itching it. Now, my big toe is swollen. Itchy itchy! I have to stay focused. No more itching. Focus...

Also this weekend, I've been working on my website. Lately, I've been thinking that my website needs to show more of me. I'm talking about my personality. When you get to know me I am a little weird, quirky, and sometimes animated. These personality traits I want to portray in my new website. Be sure to look out for Monkeyman Graphics 2.0 Coming soon to a internet provider near you. 

Alright, lets get to the music vids. It looks like SNSD's Tiffany, Jessica, and Seo Hyun came out with a new video called Mabinogi. I guess that's Korean for "It's fantastic!" This video only features Tiffany. Where are the other girls? Are my eyes deceiving me? Well, even so the video and the track sounds great.

 

SNSD's JeTiHyu-Mabinogi

I have to say Tiffany is cute. The video is cute. Cute cute cute.  If you're into it, this video can make you happy. Do you feel it? Do you feel the love power? I'm going to need lots of love for this job hunting that's for sure. Moving on...

Man, this next group I haven't been keeping up on. Let's get up to speed with Bright. Here's their new new track One Summer Time. As always, the girls amaze me with their beauty and their angelic voices. They are definitely raising the bar for upcoming Japanese pop teen singers. Here's their new vid:

BRIGHT-One Summer Time

It's hard to believe with voices like that they are only 16 something years old. Anyways, these girls rock! I'm waiting for them to put out another acapella or at least a ballad. With the voices they have, these girls can rock it. Hayaku Bright! The Amagi Walker wants a slow song!

Finally, the last vid of the day is from Foxxi misQ. Man, these girls are hot. If you've never seen their past vids then you're missing out. They usually come out with dance tracks wearing some skimpy yet attractive outfits, but this time Foxxi misQ busts out with a ballad. The title is called "Say you luv me~Mahou no kotoba~"  Peep it!

Foxxi misQ-Say you luv me~Mahou no kotoba~
