Work, Billy, and the Korean Monster

As I was writing on my previous post, I was struggling to meet new people at the office. That soon changed, at least for now. I had a meeting with the HR guy.. the same guy who denied me in the first place. Basically, since I have my visa and everything, he wanted me to go through the steps on how to transition me into the Japanese status. I on the other hand, being the lonely and desperate soul that I am, was trying to come up with strategies on how to turn the enemy into a friend. My basic point of attack was just to drop all my prior knowledge of him and suck up to him at will and see where that led me. Apparently it worked and now I have a welcome party planned by him next week. Lets see how that goes.

On other news... remember I mentioned about Billy Blanks below appearing more times on T.V. than the SMAP guys? Well, I was watching SMAPXSMAP on Monday night and guess what... he was in their show. Here is the skit below: (The fake Billy or Hilly is one of the SMAP members Shingo-kun)



Also this past Sunday, I was watching a bit of K-1 fighting. K-1 is like UFC but in a boxing ring instead of a steel cage octagon. They also show the events on public television instead of PPV like in the states. Anyways, there was this huge Korean fighter that totally blew my mind. The guy's glove was as big as his opponent's head!!!! The giant's name is Choi Hong-Man aka "Korean Monster". I mean... this guy was like an Asian Godzilla.... wait.. Godzilla was Asian right? Umm.. He was like Godzilla with blonde hair and the other dude looked like one of Frotto's little hobbit friends compared to him. Needless to say, the tanned Bobo Baggins got knocked out. I thought that after the short match, the unsatisfied Korean monster was going to eat the audience and step on some buildings afterwards. Luckily, he was in a good mood and everyone was spared ... for now. I have also provided the clip for you below:
