Wow.  Just...wow.  Over the past few months, I've realized something, more of...actually thought about it than realized, but my points stands.  When news about a MOVIE hits headlines more than actual news about the WORLD?  Geesh...seriously.  Come on.  Politicians are raping people.  Priests are molesting little boys.  There's a bullshit war going on that NO ONE wants to be in.  And a monkey got re-elected as president of the USGFU (United States of Go Fuck Yourself, for those who didn't get it).

It's a -hard- thing to accept isn't it?  I mean, hell.  I wanted to see PotC3 as much as any Pirate fan would, but c'mon...Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, PotC3, Fantastic Four 2, Transformers...all these things taking HEADLINES rather than actual news.  If someone didn't know about these movies, they're idiots, no need to take up the whole front page with Hollywood @#$%.

Onto part two of my rant.  As some of you know, a person I hate (hate hate hate mother&#$%-in hate) said they would be gone for around a year, great news right?  Not a sign of them online for a year.  Like christmas came EARLY and Santa brought extra just for me, ya know?  Turns out, the person has been on nearly every day.  I -just- found out.  And it's like...TAINTED now.  I can't be happy that this person is around still.  Even if I don't come in contact with them.  They are essentially taking a year hiatus to play games and shirk responcibility.  I'm no bible-totin' Jesus freak but...GOD SMITE THIS BITCH WITH A THUNDERBOLT OR SOMETHING!  Divine Retribution!  Justify your year hiatus by getting deathly ill or something...christ, really.

In other news, I'm heading to Arizona for the 4th of July to hang out with Spazzy and her family.  This time, I meet her mom.  Scary shit, I know.  Her dad and bro liked me, so there's some points there.  But still, new people freak me the hell out.  I really hope things go well.  Eh, either way.  I'll get more time with Spazz, and I'll be bringin' my laptop with me this time too, since I wont be leaving it around in a hotel, I'm staying at her house this time.  Should be fun, fireworks, anime, games, avoiding the heat.  A classic South West Otaku holiday, know what I mean?  Now if only I could find a cactuar in the desert around here, that'd be perfect.

Good luck to a few people with their endevours recently, I'm hoping to see a Blue/Purple Haired Kitty-Dog thing with a little bulbous light-blue bell that chimes a lot in the near future.

More info about what's going on in my life soon, a game review of Phoenix Wright and Okami (as well as a few others) will soon follow this one, and a list of things I am planning on doing (cons, costumes, etc), PROMISE!

Now I'm not one to say "violence is the answer", but I'm also not one to say a good whack over the head isn't a good thing now and again.  To be honest, I know a few people who really could go for a smack or two...or ten...but I digress.  These people have been putting their bullshit agenda on me, for whatever reason, and frankly?  I think they should shove their head a little farther up their ass, maybe that'll allow them to see the light again.

For those out there in the world who are like this and also who will probably never read this...I give you this advice.  Grow up and be a fucking adult you mooching lazy ass sonsabitches!  As fun as play time is, and as -easy- as it is to just sit on your ass and have someone throw money at you, at some point, this will bite you in the ass and you'll be SBT (Screwed, Blued, and Tattooed, a saying my grandfather was very attached to).

Now I don't say this to people who are say, in college, have not so much money themselfs, are getting paid for school by parents, a scholorship, or something along those lines.  Everyone has to get a little help from somewhere, just those who lose themselfs to the slacker life style, you can't expect someone to hand you money every day for nothing, life ain't that nice.

I also want to say that COLLEGE ISN'T EVERYTHING!  God, I know that it's a big thing for a lot of people, me included, but it's not everything, I've seen people go on to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and not even have a -highschool- diploma, go figure right?  College, nice as it is, isn't needed completely, especially if you have skills already.  And the people I'm talking about may or may not know who they are, but just know, it's not the end of the world if you don't go to college.

Okay!  Thats out of the way now!  I've been reading "If Chins Could Kill, Confessions of a B Movie Actor" by Bruce Campbell, and I'm loving it, it's like, well taking the words from my dad as I was reading him chapter after chapter of the book.  "Man, that sounds like you!"  Now I don't think he meant "Hey you can be Ash's second cousin in the next Evil Dead movie!" (though that would be cool, keep an open mind about that idea would ya Campbell ol' buddy?), but what I think he means is, that's the path I'm down right now.  I'm going for an internship with Gaia, I really hope I get it, desperatly I do, I want to go there, work there, even if it's for nickels and dimes I find on the floor, I'll get another job ontop of it if I need to support myself.  But it's just a PERFECT opportunity for me, it's in San Jose, I'll be able to be with Crystal for the summer, it's marketing with Gaia (and I love business junk, I do, I -really- do), and...voice acting studios are around that part of California, I could maybe try out for open casting call auditions, even if I don't get a part, my name is out there!  Needless to say, with the way Campbell's life worked out, if I can get half that, I'll be a happy camper.  This book boosted my spirits as far as being a "freaky, young, crazy, out of his mind, wannabe (voice) actor" is concerned.  Thanks for reccomending the book onee-chan.

Finally...I say this...-just- over 9 days til Fanime!  God, I know I just went to Florida a while ago (my first vacation since...ironically enough, the day before September 11th, 2001), but I can really use time away from just...-here-, I'm dying to see Crystal again, some time alone with her is just what I need.

Well, I haven't posted here in a bit, please feel free to blame Pokemon Pearl as well as all the shop stuff on Gaia I have been doing.  Which reminds me...I need a new OMG and set of Horns of the Demon. xD

Anyways, first things first Wii Games (and DS games)!  As per request from onee-chan, here is, my top list of existing/soon to come Wii and DS games!  THIS IS THE GAME-DOWN!

DS Games: 

I love Futurama, I do, I adore it, the cast is amazing, if you haven't seen it, go buy the DVD's or watch it on Adult Swim, if you have seen it.......go buy the DVD's or watch it on Adult Swim more.  Have you ever realize just how much Billy West -does- in that show?  He's like...EVERYONE!  He's Amy Wong's DAD for god sake.  What an amazing talent, LOVEHIM!

Some good things happened today, I emailed Billy West, played with puppies, colored some Ryuko for tomorrows events, watched tons of Futurama, beat Super Paper Mario, and got an email from BangZoom Entertainment (anime dubbers, THEY DID CHAMPLOO >O<).

Anyway, lets start with Super Paper Mario shall we?

Super Paper Mario Review: Holy cow, if you like RPG's and you like platformers and you like sidescrollers, this is your game!  It's got a little of everything, and while the bosses are shockingly easy, the enemies are sometimes repetative in design, and the dialogue is hokier than Bozo the Clown, it's all you could expect from a Mario game, and MORE than what you'd expect from the Paper Mario/Mario RPG series.  The ability to flip from 2D to 3D was fun to say the least, confusing in the begining, but you get used to it and then wonder why no one thought of it before.  Unlike in other Paper Mario and Mario RPG games, Mario is joined by more than just Luigi or some random Goomba/Paratroopa/etc kinds of characters, you've got access to a near whole main cast of the Mario games (save Toad and the ever loveable Yoshi).  Yes that means you play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and for the first time in a co-op with Mario game, Bowser!  Mario and Luigi play very much the same, save Luigi's super jumping abilities and Mario's 3D flipping capabilities.  Peach is very simple, average in every way, she is the best defender cause of her parasol and also has the ability to glide, fun.  Bowser is slower than shit, but makes up by doing double the damage the other three can do as well as breathe fire (not very useful in the story part of the game, but awesome for burning baddies).  The story seems a bit pieced together last minute, lame, and just weird at sometimes, you could actually see the end of the game by the second world, not to say you can't in many other Mario games, but still, a little unshocking if you ask me.  Still, a heartwarming tale to say the least.  All in all, the game's music, gameplay, use of characters, innovative ideas, and just plain funishness makes it a good game to play if you have a Wii.  I wouldn't BUY it, cause it's a very short game (about 20+ hours at most), so I'd say rent it, beat it, take it back, no real REPLAY value unless you're super crazy about 100%-ing everything, I'm not unless there's something in it for me, is there this time?  Nope, so I wouldn't bother.  Either way, go play it!  A- for the plumber's new adventure into the realm of Paper-Play-Time!

OKAY!  About BangZoom, I have an email for them now, and I'm talking with a manager, we're having fun talking too, even if I don't get a job from this, I have my name out there more (same with why I contacted Billy West) and now I know more people than I did before.  Either way, wish me luck with possibly getting a job -somehow- in voice acting soon.

I'm sick of being in this person's house, I'm not at home, I'm dog sitting for my dad's friend tonight, I get to go home in about an hour or so, yay, but still, it's cold, it's quiet, it's lonely, I don't like it.

!~Comment please~!

When you're playing a game, and you really need to turn it off, for whatever reason:  Going to dinner, making food, your hands hurt, Jesus coming back, free Pope Hat day, a flatsale, going to bed, going to school...etc.  You can NEVER find a save spot?  You always find it 10 minutes later and then you're friggen -late-, what the hell?  Is it so much to ask that there be a few more save spots in a game?  No, I don't think so.

Anyway, I'm in the last world of Super Paper Mario, so for all those people wanting to hear my review of it, it'll be up tomorrow, along with another couple reviews, please read them and comment on them, comments make me very happy.

So...random thoughts from me.  I was thinking first, if a bat and a dolphin could talk to eachother, then I decided, maybe, it could be possible.  But the different frequencies...such a weird concept, it'd be like hearing something and not understanding it.  And that's when it came to me!  A bat, a dolphin, and a whale all get together in a general area and start squeakin' and squookin' away, and to them it would be the equivalent of a Japanese person, an American, and a Frenchman getting together in a room and trying to talk to eachother.  Gobbledegook I say!  CHAOS!

I really need to find a way to put all these fucked up ideas to use.  If anyone has suggestions...my ears are open. xD

Janitor: Hey, from now on, your name is "Scooter."
J.D.: I don't get it.
Janitor: It's short for "Scooter Pie." I hate Scooter Pies.
J.D.: Oh. Now I see.
J.D.'s Narration: You big jerk! 

"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of 'hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, "give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404."

Dr. Cox: Yeah, let's see if you can't focus on things that I actually give a rat's ass about. 

"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." -George W. Bush

Dr. Cox: I love this moment so much, I want to have sex with it. 

"As she lay there dozing next to me, one voice inside my head kept saying, 'Relax, you're not the first doctor to sleep with one of his patients', but the another kept reminding me, 'Howard, you are a veterinarian!'"

Answering Machine Saying: "You're growing tired. Your eyelids are getting heavy. You feel very sleepy now. You are gradually losing your willpower and your ability to resist suggestions. When you hear the tone you will feel helplessly compelled to leave your name, number, and a message."

"I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by."

Deadpool: The day my father Odin banished me from Asgard, I was bitten by a vampire and had radioactive waste dumped into my eyes. To make matters worse, my mutant ability to control weather activated just as I was hit by a blast of gamma radiation. Nah, actually, I got this way by volunteering for the Weapon X program. They promised to cure my cancer. And they cured it all right, by giving me an outrageous healing factor. Then they labeled me psychotic and tossed me into a prison lab. So I escaped and became what some people might call a 'mercenary'. I prefer the title 'cleaner of the gene pool'. 

Deadpool: And now I'm better at doing whatever it is Wolverine does! 

Deadpool: Sir, yes, Sir! Ceasing all mindless rambling! Uh, is that vein on your forehead meant to be throbbing like that?

Deadpool:  I hate broccoli, and think it totally sucks,Why is it not meat? [/haiku]

Deadpool:  Wait, we're going to fight Dr. Doom? No one told me we were going to fight Doom! I want my lawyer! I want my mommy! I want my lawyer's mommy!

Deadpool: Whatever happens, remember to protect me.

Deadpool: I have a rash. Wanna see it?

Deadpool: Ooh! Wanna hear me play the 1812 Overture on my armpit?

Confused yet?  You damn well should be...

So, today has been shitty, for the world as well as myself so it seems.  Everyone by now has heard of the shootings, 33 dead, more injured, at Virginia Tech.  Bloody wonderful isn't it?  What the fuck was that about really?  Did you know that the shootings started two hours -before- the actual incident occured?  They didn't cancel classes, they didn't TELL anyone, what the hell were the cops thinking?  They were letting people in that fast?  They didn't even -do- anything about it yet and things just kept moving.  The first shooting left two dead, and the cops said "HE FLED", well aparently they were right, he fled, to another part of the fucking campus.  Nice job.  I'm bitter, so I'm sorry, but still it doesn't make sense!  Things should have been handled better, if that had been done, maybe we'd still have 31 of those 33 alive with us, but aparently due to bad judgement, many more were injured and killed.  It's a sad day indeed.

My own day?  Lets just say there was some head trauma involved due to the anger of a family member, and it was my head that was injured.  And ontop of that, constantly being bitched at, yelled at, made fun of, and picked on, by my -only- family members I have left.  Not a good day, not a good day at all.  I forgive them, because I love them, and they are all I have familywise, but still...I wouldn't do something like that to them, or really to anyone...

To sum up the day, I give you the song I'm listening to, it's very sad, and very dark, and it's sung very well, if you don't have it, and you want it, hit me up, I'll send you Aura (calm version) and Evil Aura (dark version), both are very worthy to listen to:

If you are near to the dark
I will tell you 'bout the sun
You are here, no escape
From my visions of the world
You will cry all alone
But it does not mean a thing to me

Knowing the song I will sing
Till the darkness comes to sleep
Come to me, I will tell
'Bout the secret of the sun
It's in you, not in me
But it does not mean a thing to you

The sun is in your eyes
The sun is in your ears
I hope you see the sun
Someday in the darkness

The sun is in your eyes
The sun is in your ears
But you can't see the sun
Ever in the darkness
It does not much matter to me
