Zombies in the UK

Posted by Mordeth13 under Uncategorized

Hey everyone. Got some spare time on my hands (and that’s not all) since I have HFMD, which kinda sounds like HL2DM and it is like that, except absolutely not. HFMD is Hand Foot Mouth Disease….and the reason they call it that is because you often get blisters in your mouth and on your hands and feet.

Everyone in my family got it….but it only hit me hard. My son and whor…..err….wife got through it much easier. The good news is we will all be well by the time my guests get here in 2 weeks for my Tour. Although…..I might still be infectious at that point…..so that’s something for them to look forward to! But don’t worry guys…it takes about 7 days for the symptoms to kick in…..so you should be feverish and in pain for your whole flight back! Fun fun.

I’ve always wanted to infect the whole of UK with some foreign illness, ever since I saw that 28 Days Later movie, this will have to do until I get my lab up and running.

M13

Less than three weeks until my first official M13 Adventure Tour takes place.  I’m getting nervous.

At first I only had one guy coming. Which isn’t that bad….takes some of the stress off of me. Then we had another guy book. Then recently one of the guys canceled…..so putting us back down to only one. And then in the last month we had two new people confirm. And two more who say they are coming, but haven’t confirmed yet. So that’s a total of 3 to 5 people who are coming at present. Svengalie is still one of the possibles.

I originally expected the tours to sell out and adjust the budget for 10 people. But with fewer we’ll need to cut some costs. But I don’t think it will affect the fun factor. As we will still be riding and exploring Asia. I’ll put up some videos and update the tour website once the tour is done.

For now I’ll be doing one tour per year. And the next one will be in August of 2011. I chose August because for the last month the weather here has been amazing…..so hopefully it will be the same next year. The price will also be raising as I’ll probably be breaking even at best this year. But that’s ok as this is a bit of a trial run for the tour company.  So next year expect the price to be around 1300usd. And if you do the slightest amount of research you’ll find this is still very cheap. As a motorcycle tour in many countries can’t be found for cheaper than 2 or 3 grand. So even with the cost of the plane ticket it’s still cheaper than doing a tour in your own country (for many people) .

My school is suffering at the moment. My boss’s wife left him, and rumors and gossip are plentiful as to why. And the parents have started pulling their kids from all his schools. I’d say we have less than 30% of the students we had just a few months ago. But less hours is both a blessing and a curse as I’m sure you can see. With the Tour only a couple of weeks away….it feels more like a blessing at the moment.

My favourite game is still Bad Company 2, and other than that I’m pretty busy with YouTube.

Sorry again for the late update. I’ll try to be quicker with my next one….sigh.

July 22nd 2010

Everything is still going well enough. My video A-hole Parking Job found it’s way onto the local news in Taiwan. I haven’t seen it myself, but a few people have told me. I also had a large spike in views this last day or so.

My son continues in daycare. He enjoys it. I’m rewatching The Sopranos with my wife who hasn’t seen it before. Found all three seasons for only 18 dollars at a 2nd hand movie shop. Pretty cool.

There is a free video game that just came out. Totally free and playable online with up to 4 friends called Alien Swarm. I’ll be making a video about it soon enough.

There were only a couple of people coming for the tour in September, but even if only one person came I vowed to make it as fun as possible for them. One of them cancelled just the other day and the other I’m starting to be unsure of. Oh well….their loss. You can’t do a motorcycle tour in your own country for cheaper than what it would cost to do one in Taiwan with me…..even with the cost of the flight added on top. I didn’t think my viewers were so tight for money considering how generous they can be with donations. Should make me appreciate the support they send all the more.

As far as new videos go. I recently took on a Drunk Driver….pretty much single handed. You’ll see that in the next week or so.

M13 June 24th – Life Update

Posted by Mordeth13 under Uncategorized

Hey guys, how are you? I’mfinethankyouandyou?

Things have been going alright for me out here lately. My YouTube channel is getting the kind of views that it did last year before it plummeted in October……we’ll see if that happens again this October. It might. I think it might just be that no one searches for motorcycle videos during winter. Perhaps I should own Taiwan’s first Snowmobile? I bet that would get me laid.

My son is awesome. Other than him having allergic skin…..he’s healthy, happy, strong. And we decided to put him into daycare for 4 hours a day. Mostly for him because he loves playing and dancing with other children. But also for us. So I’ll have a bit more freedom in the near future.

The September Tour has a few people booked and their deposits paid. So if you can….come. It will be fun.

Work is…..odd. My boss has become evil. And the whole school has started to reflect it. It’s weird….honestly. It’s like something from a movie where a whole school changes to reflect the personality of the owner. But it’s still a very easy laid back job for me…..so I won’t be leaving too soon. But I’m going to look into teaching adults again. I quit doing that because the hours weren’t enough….but to be honest I don’t have many hours right now either…..so….I’ll look into it.

Still loving BC2. Started to play some Magic the Gathering on steam. And downloaded a bunch of photography software….and gonna see what I can make with that.

That’s about it. Thanks or taking the time to read this.

America Afghanistan Drug Trade?

Posted by Mordeth13 under Uncategorized

I was reading this….not gonna say what I think about it. What’s you guys’ opinion on it?

“Reports circulating in the Kremlin today state that Prime Minister Putin [photo top left] has ordered Russian military forces to prepare to confront American military forces in Afghanistan over what Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov warns is the “greatest threat to International peace and security”, Afghanistan’s thriving drug trade supported by the US and NATO.

Not being reported to the American people about the Afghanistan war is that it has nothing to do with their being protected from terrorists, but rather it involves the billions of dollars gained for many of the West’s top intelligence agencies (mainly the CIA) from the heroin produced in this region (90% of World’s total) that by 2001 the Taliban had virtually eliminated.

Immediately after the US invasion of Afghanistan in October, 2001, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) installed one of their main Afghan operatives, Hamid Karzai, as President, who then put into power his brother Ahmed Wali Karzai, who since then has increased heroin production to levels unseen in modern times and resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Russian citizens.

Viktor Ivanov, the head of Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service, Russia’s National drug enforcement agency, told parliament in May that it was reasonable to “call the flow of Afghan opiates the second edition of opium wars.” Ivanov was referring to the 19th-century war between Britain and China sparked by exports of opium from British India to China.

Ivanov isn’t alone.

“I can name you a lot of politicians in Russia who said that the Americans specially arranged the situation in Afghanistan so that we would receive a lot of drugs, and this is the real aim of their occupation,” said Andrei Klimov, the deputy head of the foreign affairs committee in Russia’s lower house of parliament. “I’m not sure this is true, but who knows.”

One person who definitely knew it was true was German President Horst Koehler, who after returning from Afghanistan last month linked the war with the defense of German economic interests because it was securing free trade routes for the West and had nothing to do whatsoever with terrorism. For his “outspokenness” President Koehler was forced to resign plunging an already battered Chancellor Merkel into even greater political turmoil.

Most shocking to understand about the CIA’s being the World’s largest drug trafficker is that it isn’t even kept secret anymore and has been embraced by their new President, Barack Obama, who has used billions of dollars earned through Afghan heroin deals to fund his sending US Special Forces teams to over 75 different Nations as well as building for them a new $100 million headquarters base in Afghanistan while his own citizens plunge deeper into poverty.

Important to note though is that Obama is far from being the first American President to embrace the drug trade as nearly all of hispredecessors were likewise involved in starting and maintaining wars to keep the billions earned from this most despicable of crimes preying on the weakest people in their society, mainly the poor and people of colour.

For those few reporters seeking to inform the American people about this crime the hard and brutal lesson learned from the lateGary Webb’s blacklisting and suiciding by US intelligence agents after his revealing the CIA’s involvement in the drug trade presents a chilling example of what these monsters will do to protect themselves and their right to poison anyone they so choose.

Interesting to note too is that according to the head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa, said he has seen evidence that the proceeds of organized crime were “the only liquid investment capital” available to some banks on the brink of collapse last year. He said that a majority of the $352 Billion of drugs profits was absorbed into the economic system as a result.

Though the American people still ignore the crimes being perpetrated by their so called leaders, the lessons of their own history should not be lost upon them, especially when viewed in the light of the use of drug and alcohol laws used for mass imprisonment while at the same time instituting around them a draconian tyrannical society where all their freedoms will be stripped from them.

And for those American’s thinking that their life couldn’t get any worse? They couldn’t be more mistaken! For just this past week Obama’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released what they call a “staff discussion draft” of “potential policy recommendations to support the reinvention of journalism” wherein they called for doctrine of “proprietary facts” that would outlaw anyone writing or reporting on anything that happens unless they use the “facts” provided to them by the government.

But than again, and as the history of these American’s seems to show, with their massive government debt about to eclipse their Gross National Product (GDP) for the first time in history, their once vital Gulf of Mexico region succumbing to the World’s worst oil spill catastrophe, and their NASA scientists now warning that the “awakening” Sun may destroy everything anyway, maybe they truly can’t be told the truth and must be treated like the children they act like.”

Private Series Coming Soon!

Posted by Mordeth13 under Uncategorized

Hey guys. Sorry for the delays. It’s still a while until the series is finished, because I have a few specific things I want to do and some of which depend on a few different factors…..for example, I want to hook up with a buddy of mine and race him through 3 different cities…..LOL…..should be cool…if we don’t die….but for that I need him (obviously) and good weather. And since we are both busy people it’s hard to organize.

But I decided that what I can do is create a secret page for this years supporters. And start uploading to that page. That way I can send out the emails before the series is finished. And it will be updated as you check the page out. So you can then choose to wait and watch it all at once….or you can just check it daily and watch the private videos as I upload them.

I think this is much better than you guys waiting 3 more weeks…..PLUS I can continue to put cool personal/private videos on there for the rest of 2010 if I so chose.

Hmmm, I think I do so chose to do that! That’ll be an extra cool bonus….not only do you get the series……but for the next 7 months you’ll get monthly updates that only you will get to see. Private videos for you select few. Hmm, good idea….why thank you.

So that’s it. I should be sending out emails within a week or so…..I want to get at least a few videos up before sending out the link.

Other than that things are going smoothly enough at the moment. There WILL be an M13 Tour this Sept. Sven and a few others are coming. So hurry up and book your place to meet me and Sven. We’ve got some cool stuff planned.

P.S. If you haven’t already bought the private series you can do so by simply “donating” 10 dollars or more using the donate button that’s on the right side of this page.

Thanks for all the support. And my videos will only get better in the future (once I get a divorce and remove the hell from my life).

May 01st 2010 – Crashes and Letdowns

Posted by Mordeth13 under Uncategorized

Hello, been awhile. I made a life update video the other day….so I don’t have much to say here that you won’t see there. The guy who hit me offered me some money….my biker pals say to take it….because suing someone is a huge hassle, but my wife wants to sue. She says “It’s not about the money….it’s about punishing this piece of shit and wasting more of his time.” …and I can’t argue with that. So I’ll be making videos of the whole court system out here….should be interesting.

BaoBao  has a tumor. Doctor wants to cut it out and see if it’s cancer. Others say to leave it in as she’s 11 years old already and if it is cancer the surgery will probably cause it to spread. My wife’s cousin had a dog that lived to almost 20 years old…and for 10 of those years it had a tumor. So…I’m guessing if the tumor doesn’t affect the dog’s day to day quality of life…..then why risk taking it out? Not sure…

My son is doing very well. Happy and healthy for the most part. He is tons of fun.

Oh….and a local company asked me to test out their prototype bike. It’s a 350cc bike….that looks like a cross between a Ninja 650 and a Ducati (they admit stealing the styling from both). But guess what? I still can’t use my right leg well enough to ride a motorcycle…just a scooter. So another missed oportunity. Although I might get someone else to ride it while I follow in a car and make a video or something…

Anyway….just wanted to give an update since it’s been awhile.

I canceled the May and July tours….since not enough people booked them (no one) , but the Sept tour looks like it will be happening no matter what. So buy your ticket now if you can.

Motorcycle Tours in Asia – Mar 30th

Posted by Mordeth13 under Uncategorized

Hey guys! Final steps are being taken for the tour company. I’m guessing the website will be up and running in the next few days. The route has been chosen! I spent a couple of hours with my partners and a map and we planned the whole thing out. It’s going to be a fantastic 10 days! A once in a lifetime experience. I myself have never done anything as interesting as this tour that we will be doing together. Very exciting. First tour is May 7th…..book off work now…hehe. And there will be another in July and September of this year. Then we’ll see how things are going from there. Many other well known motorcycle vloggers that you may know of have shown an interest in coming out for the tours. So I may not be the only person you know. Other than that my wife has been a lot less crazy than usual (or perhaps I’m just letting her get to me less) and my son is growing up and being amazingly cute on a daily basis. Things are going well. Oh….and if you can’t afford the trip…..I should be doing a private series in the next little while where I’ll preview some of the better roads of the tour. Stay tuned for that.

Oh and speaking of private series. If you’ve ever bought a series from me….or donated. Those amounts are deductible from the price of the tour.

I have some really good videos planned for the near future. And I now have most mornings to myself and the weather here is starting to become true summer. So expect those as well.

M13, signing out. Thank you all for reading this. And continuing to ride with me in this adventure called “life”.  <—corny

Edit: Site is almost done, I’ll let the few of you that read my blogs get the first peek – http://hobbicide.com/M13Taiwan/

Hey guys. Things are going a bit better here. My wife and I almost went a whole week without her throwing a fit. She had one yesterday, but to be honest I was mostly at fault (which isn’t the norm).

Other than that my son is doing great. Doing new things and saying new words every day. I did some price comparing for my tour company and it seems I’m offering more for less when comparing to other bike tour companies in Asia. So that’s good.

Next month Kawasaki has it’s annual meet. They are always very cool with great food, great hotel, and great entertainment. I have permission from Kawasaki to film whatever I want…..so that means the model’s breasts.

Bad Company 2 is awesome……such awesome things happen with a destructible environment. Awesome game….get it.

Loving the PS3, loving my new big TV, loving my son……and hating the wife a little less….but I still do hate her…..a lot.

M13 OUT!!!

Feb 20th 2010 – Life Update

Posted by Mordeth13 under M13's Life Blogs, Parenting

Hey guys, sorry about the down posts recently. Overall things are getting better around my home.

As I’ve mentioned in the comments under a vid or two M13′s Two Wheeled Adventure Tours are well on their way. The Website is half done. And the route, hotels….etc….are being chosen. It’s going to be one heck of a fun trip.

First tour is in May. A rough estimate at cost for the trip (not including air fare) would be around a grand…possibly less. But you get a lot for that. In America hotels alone would cost that much for ten days…..but here that also gets you a motorbike/scooter and everything else from food to insurance.

I have a PS3 now. And I’ve very impressed by it’s media functions. No more burning DVDs to take downstairs to watch….now I can just use my PS3 to watch anything that’s on my computer’s hard drive. Pretty cool.

Other than that…..I’d like for everyone to pray for my wife getting a brain tumor and dying quickly.

Thanks.
