Hey hey, I'm Kastom.

I don't like talking about myself, so, uh...yeah. lol. I'm a major gamer, I read a lot of books (physics, math, philosophy, fantasy), watch and read some anime, and spend the rest of my time being annoyed at gravity for restricting me to being able to do only one front flip at a time.

I've posted a few of the articles/essays I've written, so if you're ever interested in reading anything that I have thought about or researched, check out my articles world, Kastom's Thoughts.

And the essentials:

Kastom's Bio:

Birth date: September 10, 1989
Sex: Male
Real Name: Tomas (Tom)
Living: Ontario, Canada
Occupation: University of Waterloo Undergraduate Physics Major

And I leave you with a quote from Adam which sums me up well:
"Kastom is very smart and wise, but sometimes he acts like a n00blet..."

But That's Just What I Do

Hey hey,

I'll make a real post tomorrow. I just wanted to let you guys know that I made an entry for Kat's challenge. And I wanted to do a short explanation of it.

Basically, I realize that this is probably not what Kat was going for, or what others would expect from the challenge. Or maybe it is, and I'm just being arrogant and thinking I'm special. Whatever the case.

This is something that I've thought about quite a bit over the past year or so. The idea of "regret", and what life means. Especially in terms of the idea of "experience" and what it means to experience things in life.

Much of this I would definitely say come from my background as reading a fair amount of Existentialist Philosophy. One of the greatest things I got out of that Philosophy, is the idea of experiencing life. Now, I always try to do new, and different things. Even if I know I won't enjoy it, I try to do anything at least once now. Simply because I believe that that experience is what makes life what it is. I don't believe in "purposes" or "meanings" of life. I believe that the best life is one that experiences, and lives the most (you can blame Camus for this, I'm basically taking some of the things he said directly, lol).

So anyways, it's something that I've thought about a lot over the past years, and Kat's challenge seemed like a very appropriate time for me to get it out, and write it. It felt very rewarding for me to have it written out and organized, so I'm very pleased with the fact that I did it.

And I hope that any of you that read it, gain something, however small, from it.

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day. :)

Loves life,

My gamer cred just went WAY up

Hey hey,

Man, I swear I'm keeping that game store beside my work afloat. XD

Not really, but...lol.

Yeah, I just bought Golden Sun and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I saw them, and was like, "...well, there's no way I'm leaving this store without these." I wasn't going to let myself make the same mistake I made last time, and think on it for a bit. I let Phoenix Wright slip through my hands a few weeks ago, so I made sure to get it this time. XP

And now that I have GS, I can play it and its sequel one after another. XD

I am so stacked for games right now.

*laughs*

Soon will have enough video games to fill a pool and swim in,

Sorry

Hey hey guys, sorry about the massive list of updates >>

I was testing out something about posting, because some person came into chat with a problem, so I was helping them out.

So yeah, ignore all those, lol.

The Weekend is the Weekend

Hey hey,

So pretty good weekend. Went to the small local con in this area on Saturday with a friend. We stayed for about four hours or so, before feeling like we'd done enough.

So we got to the con (which was actually rather difficult, it was very confusing where exactly it was being held inside a complex of buildings, lol), and I put on the rest of my costume (i.e. take off my clothes XP). Ben took an amusing video of that. Checked out all the rooms, and wandered about for a while. Watched some French dubbed Transformers for no reason, then found what JUST MAY BE THE GREATEST ANIME EVER. We wander into one of the screening rooms, and these two girls are running. Then they mention something about getting to "the pudding". Ben was like, "I SO hope that the point of this is that they are trying to eat pudding."

And you know what? IT WAS.

The entire episode was this amazingly epic (amazingly epic music too!) adventure to GET TO SOME EFFING PUDDING (pumpkin pudding I believe). It was soooooo terrible and hilarious because of how serious and epic it was trying to be! XDDDDDD

Anyways, after that, we wandered more. I pwned some n00bs at Brawl XP, then Ben and I joined into this game of some kind. It was this card game called (I think) "Cthulu Munchkins". It was amusing.

Ben also made the WORST comment I had ever heard anyone say in my life. He was totally joking, but man...he said it so seriously...XD It was great. And terrible. I laughed.

So after we felt we had done enough, and gotten bored we left, and got some dim sum for lunch <3

Oh, also, he kept track of the number of times I got pics taken of me. Only 13 :( But it was small, and we were only there for 3-4 hours.

*shot*

Hahahahhahahaa

Spent the rest of the day drinking wine, eating pizza, playing Guitar Hero 5 (man I love singing in that game XDDD), and talking about life. XD

Spent Sunday being tired. Played some Fire Emblem. It was good.

Now back at work.

Also, I got a lot of stares (more than usual) while on the bus to work. Then I was like, "Oh right, blue hair."

*laughs*

Also, I'm shedding blue everywhere. My tattoos aren't off completely yet, and they keep peeling off under my clothes.

lol

Getting hungry,

- Kastom

P.S. I JUST REMEMBERED. I bought ONE thing at the con: a Tales of Symphonia pillow.

And no, it is not a body pillow. It's just a pillow with a bunch of the characters on it (including Sheena 8DDDD).

*laughs*

Con tomorry

Hey hey,

Short post, just to say a heads up for future pics and stuff. Going to G-Anime con tomorrow. One of my friends is coming along, so I'm pretty happy about that. It's a pretty small con (last year only 600-700 people), but I'm thinking we're just going to hang out, meet people, and try to have some fun adventures. With this guy (my friend), I can see meeting some fun people and doing some crazy things happening, lol.

Whatever the case, dying my hair and painting on my tattoos tonight, so that'll be fun, lol. I highly doubt my tattoos will look nearly as good as when Kat did them, but I'll do my best. I'll have more time than I did for ACen, so I should be able to do it better.

Anyways, cheers everyone!

Since it's a small con, only expecting to get around 50 pics taken this time *shot*,
