Looking to the sky to save me

Just like the west and the chinese have their astrology and horoscopes, the Japanese have their own system of predicting a person's personality, temperament, and compatibility with others through their blood type.

Japanese Blood Type Personality Chart
  • Type A
    Best Traits:
    Earnest, creative, sensible.
    Worst Traits:
    Fastidious, overearnest.
  • Type B
    Best Traits:
    Wild, a doer, cheerful.
    Worst Traits:
    Selfish, irresponsible.
  • Type AB
    Best Traits:
    Cool, controlled, rational.
    Worst Traits:
    Critical, indecisive.
  • Type O
    Best Traits:
    Agreeable, sociable, an optimist.
    Worst Traits:
    Vain, careless.

Its application are quite evident in the anime and gaming circle as blood types are often tied down to a particular character's stereotype. Well I've never believed in any of this tripe and especially not now when Type O is listed as being 'sociable'. Pfft!

Won't die if you don't try

For that wickedly explosive taste, try some Afghanistan Pomen-grenades! Only 49cents/100grams!
Just walking through the supermarket today made me realise how many fruits and vegetables i have never tasted before. Off the top of my head, i have never tried eggplants, zucchini, persimmons, those bombs pictured above etc before. Makes me realise how swakoo i am.
But am i really missing alot in terms of taste? Even if eggplants became extinct(?), I'm sure i won't look back and think, "Man, i should have tried them when i had the chance!"
