When you meet your past once again. And it rules.

One of those things I have always liked since I was a kid was cartoons. I mean, who doesn't like cartoons as a kid? But one thing, I loved japanimation, anime, japanese cartoons, however you wanna call it. As mostly everyone around my age, and where I grew up. The one's you had to know if you were a boy were Dragonball Z, Pokemon, and Sailor Moon (if you were a girl) . Not gonna lie, but Pokemon was fucking sweet (and it's still uber sweet).

Anyway, I remember when I started getting into comic books, some of my friends were really into the whole Anime thing. I wasn't like totally in love as a hardcore nerd, but I definitely loved the art, and the action, not to mention the plot lines. I mean, I love Tom and Jerry, the same I love the Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons, but, I love things that are more complex and long. Something that will leave you in suspense for a whole weekend.

Remember when Cartoon Network started doing Toonami? Well, I for certainly do. And I did watch Sailor Moon, haha. Anyway, when they started airing the Gundam Series, I was psyched. I watched every single episode of Gundam Wing, and if I wasn't going to be home because of baseball or basketball practice, I would leave the VHS to record it. Or simply stay awake until midnight to catch on the episode. This series became my favorite Anime of all time. And one of those parts of my childhood I love the most, and remember the most. (Note to self: I usually don't like kids, but I admit I was a pretty cool one, haha.)

So last night, I was reminiscing, and at the same time trying to look for something to do, since I was off the next day. I remembered watching Naruto pretty much all the way to the current episodes on youtube, and I do recall watching the Gundam W. movie there (thing I never found again). So I searched for it, and found the first 25 episodes. The cool thing is that I noticed the last one was just uploaded not even 24 hours ago (that is from me writing this entry).

The whole deal is that I spent pretty much all of last night and day today watching the 25 episodes. And I am still excited about it as I was then. I have to admit w that when I first watched the series, my English wasn't as good as it is these days (still isn't great, but it's better than then). I did not understand a lot of things. So a second run through the series made it even more interesting than the first time. I have to say that I really want the whole series in a box set so I can watch it anytime. As well as the movie, which is amazing. I just hope this dude puts those other 25 episodes pretty soon, because I am going crazy already.



Just search it on youtube if you wanna see it. I am not gonna bother putting up links here. Over and out.

So... I decided to do an artsy entry

Yes. I mean, I have nothing against artsy stuff, I actually enjoy art a lot, did it in high school to the point people thought I was gonna be an art teacher if not a pro baseball player (everyone thought music was just a phase). So anyway, since it's winter, and this pictures i took in wintertime, if I'm not mistaken in early 2008. Plus I took this with the camera I got for my birthday then, it's not like a pro camera, it's the stereotypical camera you buy, so it's not like awesome quality. So here they are:



This, I recall taking in the morning while on my way to work right after a snowstorm.



This was right after that, like looking in my perspective, by the Lilley Ave. Bridge, coming from Centerville towards the LeLacheur Park.



This is the canal, by Thorndike St.. Next to where that new Dunkin's is at. Before it was there.



On the way back from work. By the Textile museum. Thorndike St. This is like 4:30pm. I hate the winter sunsets.



At the same spot where I took the first picture. Just wanted to show how different it looks from daytime to night time.

Mean Season video.

Well, it all goes like this. Me and my boy Casper have been chattin' it online for the last like 3 or 4 hours. We're like talking about bands and stuff like that. Like recommending bands to each other. So as usual, i went on a tangent and sent him a link to a picture of the girl that sang for Gather (I think she's cute). I don't really listen to Gather a lot. I do every once in a while. After seeing that picture, and listening to a lot of Earth Crisis, I decided it was time to listen to Gather. Anyway, this isn't about that band. The whole thing is that the picture I showed my buddy of her, she was wearing a Mean Season shirt. And man, I love that band. Checkers recommended that band to me a while back.

So in the conversation we were having, I asked Casper if he knew that band, he said no, so I went and found their Myspace page so he could check the couple songs they have there. When I hit the search button, I see this video that says "MEAN SEASON - Lesser Man" one of their songs. Straight up honest. I love this band, but I am not a nerd about this band. Like most bands that are not Lifetime, Pennywise, H2O, Madball, and Sepultura, I barely know the words for any of the songs. I do listen to them a lot, but what I mean to say is that I am not a Mean Season nerd. So I didn't know they had a video for "Lesser Man". Anyway, I decided to post it here. 'Cause I am a good dude.
