ALL BOW DOWN TO YOUR MEERKAT GOD ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) timduru AND SERVE HIM WELL!!!! | | Thursday, November 5th, 2009 | | 12:32 pm |
What happened in the past weeks/few days?
Haven't seriously updated anything of myself lately. Quite a bit of interesting things happened, not sure if I can remember every single one of the events. Start of a small family trip to western mountain area of North Carolina a weekend before Halloween. To be exact, we were right around Boone and Blowing Rock area, where scape_goat and rory_husky lives. We stayed in a very nice small lodge outside of blowing rock on Saturday night and used all day Sunday to enjoy the views on Blue Ridge Parkway view from blowing rock  WOO HOO I has blowing rock !!    Me ~ :P  Rory have some really nice pictures on the parkway on his journal if you'd like to take look into them :) The family trip went surprisingly well (with lots people's help) I am very glad my parents seen enjoyed it much. Aside from going to cons I think I will try safe some time for them and take them to places. you can find some other pics I uploaded here http://gallery.timduru.org/v/Perso/Kofu/?g2_page=18---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---- Went to watch Michale's "This is it" movie on Tuesday midnight by myself, people still having bipolar kind emotion towards him so I don't really bother ask anyone anymore to come with me. When Michale first passed away it didn't really hit me hard, even today I still have this feeling that he's just playing tricks on everyone. I feel this movie is my one last chance to get to worship and show my respect to him, I am not a die hard fan but I do love him. Movie was good, really a shame it can not be perform as live on stage forever now :( ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---- Watched SAW 6 on Wednesday 28th, thought I'd hated it like its previous series but I totally love this one, and looks like this one would be the final end for the series (good grief !!) bastard finally gets it a yummy painful ending. I really hate it when the movie started killing innocent people in SAW 3~5 or just trying to find new ways to show pain and blood, that wasn't really necessary~ After the movie I got text from fox_dude saying he's in town on a business trip and stayed in Raleigh for 2 days, we hanged out at Flying Saucer's bar both days, never thought I'd enjoy trying beers lol. Thursday after bar visit, we went to a movie theater that plays "off big screen movies" for really cheap price and watched "UP" with local furs. Love the story :3 maybe one day I will show it to my parents. to be continue.... | | Monday, October 26th, 2009 | | 11:46 pm |

Suffer the pain but don't be emo
Just watched the movie "Eternal Sunshine" with roommates, got me really thinking that if you have a chance to erase some memories somehow, will you do it? I guess I might but at the same time, hopefully I won't. Events happen for reasons either for good or for bad, I can't say erase the memory is a bad way to go since so many people would have problems dealing with these memories. With technology and knowledge I believe people at psychological clinic can help block unwanted memories as a client request, it might be the best way to help people avoid unnecessary problems. But memories mixed with a lot of emotions, with things and people, with anger or happiness, these emotions make people human. It's amazing how pressures can force a person seeking for professional help on mental issues, especially today. There are so many things causing so much pain, no one is having a perfect life, but so what? If people have to deal with issues between live or death themselves somewhere, you should be able to deal with your own at where you are at. (Don't take my words wrong please) Anyway, my point is, we are full of emotions and that make us who we are, life IS full of pain and BS, and also a lot of other things, learn to deal with your issues with less negative emotion. I can kind understand love (well, never dated anyone yet) and how much it hurts when it's not going where you wanted to, I really don't believe something like "it's the best for both of us" and give up, it's just not a good way to resolve things with someone love or you used to love. Ignorance and emotionless are the worst come after strong emotion. We don't have to be moving zombies to exist in the world. I hate, and I also love. Emo kids often say "life is pain" or something like that, I am pretty sure it is. I am not Jigsaw, I don't need to make people suffer to understand making the best out of people's lives are the keyz. If you are living in either US or Europe, enjoy your life. | | Sunday, October 18th, 2009 | | 4:02 am |

haha
Hope weekend went well for you guys, I went to a local furmeet on Saturday and they held the meet at a fun landing place called celebration station (basically what chunky cheese is), was fun but I never really liked many arcades in American, I used to play video arcades right on the street after school but I don't know too many games here, end up only played few low quality, console broken games....ahh~ at least people were having fun there :P People who own these arcade places should really take a trip to Asia and see how our arcades set up and what kind arcades people would really want to put $$ in to play it. After that there was fursuit bowling, it's my first time bowl in suit woo hoo, but the suit I wore doesn't circular air too well so I end up breathing in a lot of my own breath, got so tired that I didn't even want to finish the second game :P....I need to modify the head much more than what's been done right now. Hmmmm really hard to say if I enjoyed it this time because I was out of breath, with people smoking in the bowling alley it was like blahhh :P there is something else I wanted to talk about but can't remember....*blinx* | | Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 | | 11:54 pm |
Hey what are you doing? or I should say "What do you want to do/accomplish?"
I just turned 25 this year and was asking a friend when he was 25 what did he do as a guide? He mentioned stuffs he did then turns the question back at me and saying "Why don't you think this way. What do you want to be able to tell people what YOU did when you were 25?" With the huge economic strike almost everything and everyone lost hope, some people decide to go back to school, some are still jobless. With this big impact do you think you can hold on to your dream and keep on going if you are in the middle of the process? I know I don't really enjoy the stress and I don't focus on study very well, so I don't really have the idea go back for masters.....I am a little sad but at the same time I am trying to figure out what I can do to help improve myself and people around me. If I don't have the power to push and turn around the world, hope at least I caused some impact in your life because you met/know me ? | | Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 | | 2:47 am |

Mouse attack emergency ! *worries*
We just recently found sign of little mouse in our apartment (me and roommates actually saw the little critter, but never caught it). It's one of those little house mouse, very small. I found some of my clothes and dresser drawer covered by little mouse poo here and there, not a whole lot but yah POOPS. Here is the question, I can pretty much wash all my clothes no problem, but what about my furs? I found some of the fur fabric has little poop on it, should I wash the entire fabric? (like at least a yard long or maybe longer) or can I just spray lyson over the fabric that has poop stick to it? Or should I throw the fabric away? *cries* T_T Has anyone have their fur attacked by critters like mouse or roaches before? if you did, how did you handle the situation? Thank you for reading Kofu (cross post to many other places) | | Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 | | 12:19 am |

NC State Mascot history
"Mr. Wuf has been down a long road of changing mascots in his search for true identity" Article by Kate Shefte, copyright by Kate Shefte and NC State original article is here http://www.technicianonline.com/sports/a-wolf-by-any-other-name-1.1046392 (some pictures can be seen in the link) ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------- 1921 -- The sports teams of North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, N.C. State's predecessor, had been at different times called the "Farmers and Mechanics," the "Red Terrors," and the "Aggies." In 1920, coach Harry Hartsell's football team, captained by J.T. "Runt" Faucette and then called the "Techs," were criticized for their up-and-down play. Before the season-opening football game on Sept. 25, 1921 against the Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets, an anonymous fan wrote into the Technician, bemoaning the team's unstable coaching situation and the off-field antics of some of the players. He compared those players to "a pack of wolves," and the student body found it hilarious. The football team then became known as the Wolfpack. 1946 -- One man who didn't find it so hilarious was J.W. Harrelson, for whom Harrelson Hall was named. Harrelson served as N.C. State's chancellor from 1945 to 1953, just after World War II. Harrelson objected to the moniker, reminding veterans and civilians on campus that the name "Wolfpack" had been assigned to Nazi U-boats for the formation they kept. "The only thing lower than a wolf is a snake in the grass," Harrelson decreed. Harrelson proposed a contest, with football tickets as the prize, to see who could create a new N.C. State mascot. Some of the submissions included the Cardinals, Cultivators, Cotton-pickers, Auctioneers, Calumets and Pine-rooters, which is a term related to pigs. "We'll field a growling, rep-snorting team no matter what the mascot is," Beattie Feathers, the football coach at the time, said. "So the choice had better be good in order to keep pace with the boys." However, an overwhelming majority maintained that the "Wolfpack" was near and dear to them, and the title remained. "The wolf is a scrappy, tough animal -- the spittin' image of our team," one writer insisted. 1946 -- Ira Helms, a student in mechanical engineering, took it upon himself to create a mascot for the cheerleading squad to use during games. After initially abandoning the project due to high production costs, Helms welded, painted and constructed his robot wolf, finishing his metal monster the morning of the football season opener against Wake Forest. The paint was reportedly still wet when the new mascot took the field. "That was the first time we had a real mascot," said Tim Peeler, a writer for GoPack.com that has written several books on N.C. State athletics. Helms' robot was affectionately named "Hell" for its creator, but was also called "The Wolf Monster" and "The Trojan Wolf." He stood 7 feet tall and was 10 feet across at the chest. Helms climbed inside the contraption and employed another student to operate a fake control box, leading spectators to believe that Hell was an actual robot. "With a body similar to Frankenstein's monster and the ferocious head of a wolf, it is expected to create a sensation in the game and spur the team on to another victory," the Technician proclaimed on Oct. 18, 1946. Helms himself never climbed into Hell after the season opener because he claimed it was too hot, but cheerleaders operated the machine for the rest of the season, one of N.C. State's best to date. The team went 8-2 and made its first bowl game, the 1946 Gator Bowl. After the bowl, N.C. State cheerleaders and the band retired Hell and held a wake for him. 1947 -- The rest of N.C. State's athletic teams, still called the "Red Terrors," opted to change their names to the "Wolfpack" as well. 1966 -- A four-month old pup -- or "Lobo III," as it was called -- was purchased by the student body for $125 to commemorate the opening of Carter Stadium. Lobo III was preceded by two wolf mascots. The first died, and the other escaped under suspicious circumstances. 1967 -- A zoology professor noticed that "Lobo III" was not a Timberwolf, as the students who bought him had believed; he was a coyote. Students embraced the mistake, rallying around the "Kool Koyote." They spray painted the slogan on the free expression tunnel and wrote it in chalk around campus. 1950s -- Cheerleaders begin to dress up as a wolf to inspire students at sporting events. 1975 -- The future Ms. Wuf was unveiled to coincide with the introduction of women's athletics. The wolf mascots were married on the basketball court in 1981 as part of the season finale festivities. Wake Forest University's mascot, the Demon Deacon, presided over the faux ceremony. "They are technically married, although I don't believe Mrs. Wuf wears her ring these days," Peeler said. 1983 -- According to Peeler, Scott Joseph, the man behind the mask from 1981 to 1984, was instrumental in helping the Wolfpack mascot "evolve." He was also the one who coined the title "Mr. Wuf." "He was very active," Peeler said. "He made his own costume and at some point put 'Mr. Wuf' on the back, and it stuck." In an interview with The Wolfpacker, Joseph said that he and his mother came up with the now-famous name. "The only thing that was provided was the head, the rest you had to come up with on your own," Joseph said. "My mom sewed a suit out of fur and gave me a jersey. So we sat down and decided to call him 'Mr. Wuf' and she sewed that on my jersey." 2008 -- Different costumes have been phased in and out over the last 20 years, with Mr. and Mrs. Wufs' heads have become less elongated and coyote-esque and more humanized and kid-friendly. | | Saturday, September 12th, 2009 | | 3:54 pm |

Am I one of the people on top of your list you wanna hang out with?
There are many times I feel left out from people I wish to be close with (either friends or really close friends), and at the same time I indirectly reject certain people that I don't feel close to, one way or another. It doesn't necessary mean that the person who got rejected is bad or anything, and in fact many people are rather sweet hearts and caring people(well some are just pure annoying I have to say). First time it happened to me was in middle school, went to basketball field and one classmate pulled me into a small group to play since his teammate went out, before the game started the teammate went back and my classmate kicked me out of his temp team right away. I feel really sad that the fact I think I am quite an....okay person(?) but I am still not first few who usually gets picked my friends I like to hang or whatever with....I really appreciate some of you did gave me special attention and thank you. I can't say it's the same to all people. I just not very satisfy being at secondary level of friends to the ones I like, I don't know how to explain it. It's why I try to impress people at times, with small or big stuffs I do~ In the end I am still not the first ones to be remember when somethings' going on. And it's one reason I say I want to better myself...so people would actually "see" me. have you ever in the position not to be the first one to get picked or receiving attention? or were you the one that's picking people to be around you? | | Monday, August 10th, 2009 | | 9:32 pm |
Some updates
My birthday is getting close (Aug 22) and I will be turning 25, will I be getting any surprise from you guys :3 ? Or will it be just like other birthdays in the past years? guess I will keep my hope low n wait and see~ So for my birthday ~ wish for a boy friend if time and person is right, wants zeta and bad dragon toys *blushes*, ahh want the effort to finish make a fursuit for myself, want more attention from people I like, want anything lion king, want ahh want to be awesome. Yes I want to learn to be awesome, I want to be famous in a positive way in the fandom, I want to learn to be awesome and known because of myself (and maybe a plus with fursuit), not because I have some attractive suit in the future. I want to feel I am important and I exist. There are a bit obstacles I know I have to overcome to actually be awesome, right now the biggest obstacle is being lazy, I need to get my butt up and exercise more and draw more pictures. If you are already passed 25, what did you do when you were my age? If you are not 25 yet what are you planing on doing when you are about age of 25? I want to know.........I want learn to be able to take the stage and be a proud lion one day. Please lead the way or open the door to help me better myself :3 I want Kofu to mean something special to your life. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------- Two weekends back me n some Raleigh furs went hang out in Art gallery, follow by some light picnic in a local park. Me and wally_wolf suited up for about 30~40 mins, but it was too hot and we got attention by bunch kids, end up burning in suit for like another 15 mins. I haven't suited in public for a while now, maybe I should do it more often and refresh my communication skills. blah dinner at Friday's with roommate on his birthday one evening blah, got a steak blah Last weekend I went to join another group of furs in Winston-Salem and hang out in a friends place, followed by delicious pizza and ice skate (still suck lol and oops I fall), in all had a easy and great time with my folks. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------- I commissioned Scape for a badge before AC and of course I didn't got it for AC lol , Scape end up went to the Winston Salem furmeet and showed me how he does his magic in computer, I had my jaw dropped while waiting on pizza and watching Scape use illustrator at the same time, I think I will play around with illustrator when I get a chance :3 So.....well I guess it's like a birthday present for myself :D? hehe  Scape did me so awesome, Kofu looks so cute and fluffy and a bit sexy too lol Thank you Scape XD It was totally worth the wait especially before my birthday! |
