It's kind of Bright at this House
Monday, May 12th, a co-worker of mine, Issac Bright, will appear on the FOX TV series House M.D., also known as "House". I'm not certain who his character is, but I found a screenshot of him in the show, which you can see below:

Wait, who's a ninja now?
As the only method of video capture that is currently in my apartment is a very shoddy webcam (it works well enough for person-to-person conversations in Windows Live Messenger, but it is not built well for photographs and footage), it may be a while before the first true episode of The Corporate Ninja appears.
What exactly is The Corporate Ninja? A nickname amongst friends and co-workers of mine is "Ninja", or some variation thereof, due to my practicing of ninjutsu and fondness of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When a co-worker, Elman, was giving out e-mail addresses to a domain he owned that was related to an inside joke here in the office, I decided to take the name "corporateninja@....."
Months later, when Elman was out of the office, some other co-workers decided to use the webcam in his iMac to film a short skit show titled "The Elman Show", as the videos were left on his desktop and they addressed him directly within the video.
At one point, I had brought my ninja hood to work and decided to film an episode as The Corporate Ninja. This video is one of the two available on Youtube, which you can see below:
The video was moderately popular on Youtube (three months or so old and over 300 hits at this point... not exactly viral, but better than I expected). One of my co-workers suggested I create a Corporate Ninja spin-off.
I later voiced The Corporate Ninja in a short cartoon my brother made, which is in the process of being posted on Youtube. I began to realize that there might be something to this character after all.
The Corporate Ninja format has yet to be truly decided; maybe a video log with a healthy dosing of humour. Although I am not directly basing any of the show on the very popular "Ask a Ninja" series, there is no doubt that it will in some way influence the show, as I am a huge fan of said series (I in fact recently purchased the Ask A Ninja DVD).
So there you have it; the history of The Corporate Ninja. Are there any comments ye have on said topic? Any suggestions for the show? Do not hesitate to let me know!
Namasté,

Yes, I am alive.
So I've decided to formally abandon my old Livejournal account - the last post was in July of 2007 . Since a plethora of people I respect, admire, and/or communicate with have blogs here on Blogger/Blogspot, I've decided to move it here.
Now, therein lies a problem; I rarely keep up with my blogs at all. This is due to disinterest, busyness, laziness, or just the fact that there are occurrences in my life I would rather everyone on the internet to know about. Not to mention, that my previous blogs did not exactly have readers on any sort of a basis.
So who am I? For the uninitiated, I am The S. The story behind said moniker is long and complicated, and I may write a separate entry on its origins in the future. I am also known by many other names, including Corporate Ninja, Samael, Koji Suzuki, and El Lobo.
I am in my early twenties and reside in Washington state. I work as a Fraud Analyst for an anti-phishing company. I have practiced several martial arts for many years, including contemporary ninjutsu, Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryuu, and taiji quan.
I wholly admit, without shame, that I am a die-hard Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan; despite them being a fictional creation, have led me guidance on my life. In addition, the TMNT and Bruce Lee were my inspirations to follow a life of martial arts.
My other interests include horror movies, especially Japanese ones (aka "J-horror"), my favorite of such being films in "The Ring" series. I also enjoy Hellboy, Lost, Heroes, CSI, video games (both playing and design), and to a lesser extent than in previous years, anime and manga.
In closing, I would like to thank anyone who comes across here for taking the time to read this. Perhaps in the future, I might have a regular reader or two.
