The Narration of The End: Cowboy Bebop

One big happy pseudo-family

Taking every advantage of Uberman while I’m still within its napped-grasp, I decided to make Cowboy Bebop the most recent addition to my anime playlist. Before any anime veterans reading stops believing in the me that believes in the you, let me say that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the Bebop crew before hand. I first watched the series in 2007 and again in 2008, once in English, and once in Japanese. After 2008 I decided to lock all recollection of the Bebop within the deepest bit-locked depths of my hard drive, never to be opened until I was certain it was wiped from natural memory.

Three years later, my brother nit-picking his boredom, Cowboy Bebop was the first chosen to kick-off the nostalgia-filled anime marathon. If you’ve never seen or heard of Cowboy Bebop then I cannot help but shed a tear for your incomplete existence as a human being. In layman’s terms: stop reading these unimportant words and watch Cowboy Bebop, spoilers lie ahead.

World Heavyweight Title Match - David "Cocky Loser" Haye Vs. Wladimir "Dr. Steel Hammer" Klitschko

If you're wondering what kind of ring name "Cocky Loser" is then you must've missed the memo regarding my intense hatred of David Haye. More on that later.
Immediately after one of Haye's fight, he spotted Wladimir in the crowd
and decided to start a little show.
The reason why I bothered to write a post dedicated to this fight is because it's quite possibly the biggest and most anticipated since 1999's Lennox Lewix vs. Evander Holyfield match-up, both boxers held a legendary status and were in their primes too - no fight has compared since. There were, arguably, other fights that could contend like 2002's Lennxs Lewis vs. Mike Tyson bout but both boxers were old and Tyson was a one-dimensional poor reflection of his prime - and Tyson's prime is one that I consider to be the greatest in all boxing history, but that's for another post.

Did I mention that this upcoming fight is a unification match? Haye and Klitschko are putting all their titles on the line, so they have a chance to gain the WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and The Ring Heavyweight titles. With Klitschko contributing all four of his international titles, in comparison to Haye's single WBA belt. Anyone with half a brain and a teaspoon of honey should be able to predict the outcome of this match.

Now, in light of this Haye and Klitschko news many seems not to know the history between these two men. So In case you're not really much of a boxing fan, and because I feel like blabbering, here's a brief summary of the drama between these two boxers.

Becoming The Uberman - Week 6: "What it means to be Uberman"

witThis is an on-going quest for uberness (well, kinda). If you haven't read any of my previous posts, you will have no idea what I'm talking about. Go here to see all the days gone by so far.

Formalities of Progression

No, your eyes do not deceive you - gee-whiz-pop-golly this is indeed an Uberman update, let’s all rip open the condoms, bathe in oil and talk about how elephants mate (Have you seen them in action? DAI-YUM!) Moving on; I know I haven’t keept you guys in the loop recently, and I apologize for that, but this was for good reason as you shall soon see.

The truth is - I have a confession to make. Not only have I achieved an Uber-level over 9000 (And to all you noobz out there, that means that I’ve fully adapted. Here, save yourself further embarrassment and watch this, you’ll thank me later), but since roughly the 12th of June I had officially achieved complete Uberness. What’s surprising is I myself hadn’t noticed the change till recent, in fact, I found out rather spontaneously. Have you ever had a bad/annoying strain of hiccups that suddenly disappears without notice? Yeah, like that. One day as I was reading I thought; “Wait a second... I’m not sleepy!” That’s how I realized. I finally became an Uberman.

It was astonishing how smooth and unnoticeable the transition was, considering the state I was in just a couple of days before hand. An even more awesome discovery was that I no longer required alarms; I almost always awoke naturally after exactly 20 minutes. My body had finally understood: 20 minutes every 4 hours. No more, no less.




After realizing this, my first idea was to test my psychological and physical states while in Uber-mode, and so began a series of experiments where I assessed my boundaries and limits to observe (or suffer) the positive and negative effects that Uberman induces. I’ve been writing this post now for quite some time, and much of my results had to be omitted otherwise this post would be longer than the combined length of a Giraffe's tongue and an Elephants penis (...). So I apologize if I ever made you, my dear beloved reader, believe that I had died of sleep deprivation (I kid you not someone actually sent an email asking if I had died from sleep deprivation, oh how I feel the guiltiness right about now).

The Art Of Programming

Among all this Uberman-craze I thought it'd be wise to lighten the mood a little with another couldn't-be-more-true image. Not only does this image accurately describe my thinking process while programming, it also provides an excellent escape plan in case everything goes to shit.

Becoming The Uberman – Week 2: "Devolution of The Uberman"

This is an on-going quest for uberness. If you haven't read any of my previous posts, you will have no idea what I'm talking about. Go here to see all the days gone by so far.

I should note that I find no need to write a blog for each day, as (apart from my slow transformation into a brainless zombie), there really is not much to write about on a daily basis. Instead I will write summary posts covering a few days or perhaps a week at a time. Any objections? No? None?.. Good. Never knew asking questions about predetermined decisions made life so easy. I should do this more often. Right guys? Yeah, I think so too.
