Hello everyone,
I was just sittinghere bored so i thought id put up a post :)
I havent been up to much today, ive mostly been lazy. There hasnt been anything on tv all day except for constant updates and coverage of the Hurricane that reached the Gulf Coast, so it has been a slow day for the most part.
Last night i slept pretty good for once but i once again found myself waking up from a bad dream around 11pm last night. I wont go into detail about the dream right now, but im sure i will at another time. When i woke up i got some stuff to eat, then i decided i was going to watch some of my Gundam dvds.
I watched:
Gundam Wing volume 6
Gundam Wing volume 9
The 08th Mobile Suit Team volume 1
All 3 dvds were enjoyable and i found myself enjoying The 08th MS Team alot more than i did the last time i watched it (which was a couple years ago). After i finished watching them i decided to make some wallpapers. Here are the links to them :)
I call the 3rd wallpaper "The Abomination" lol. I didnt have the patience to fully create another wallpaper, so i started playing around using one of my art pieces and when i got tired of playing around i decided to upload it on theotaku as well because i didnt want it to go to waste. Its unrefined and rough around the edges, but i dont know, in time it could become something pretty cool, or give me ideas to use on future wallpapers :)
Right now im probably going to lay down and watch Gundam Wing. I have all of the episodes and the movie recorded on vhs from Cartoon Network from back in the day lol. I managed to record each episode in order, and recorded the movie right after the last episode of the series, so they would all be together. In all it comes up to 3 tapes, which was quite a feat for me back in the day lol. Recording Gundam Wing is pretty much how i honed my vhs recording skills lol. I believe i was a freshman in high school at that time and i remember running home after school and getting my specifically labeled tapes ready for each show on Toonami : Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, and Dragonball Z. i still have those tapes too, and even when i get the dvd versions of something ive already recorded, i still keep my tapes because I think that spending all that time recording humbled me and really sparked my love for anime. Tommorrow ill probably scan the labels on my Gundam Tapes so you can see how old they are lol, They are about 10 years old. Hopefully my new vcr/dvd combo will be able to play the tapes well since they are somewhat old, ill find out shortly thats for sure lol.
Well i guess thats about it for today, i better wrap this up before i start rambling again lol. I thank you all for visiting and i hope to chat with you all soon :)

Hello Everyone,
Im glad to be back to posting again, Its been a few days since i last posted and while i was just sitting here going through some recorded vhs tapes, i thought id take the time to post and let you all know that i havent abandoned you all lol.
I spent most of today cleaning my room and my closet, which was a pretty large task since my brother left my bedroom door open last night while i was at work and the animals had a feild day in my room, knocking things off my computer desk and messing my room up in general. It took me a couple hours to clean everything up, then i decided that since i was already up and cleaning, i might as well deal with my closet. It didnt take very long though, so now everything is organized and stuff :)
After i finished cleaning everything i fell asleep watching tv lol. Im probably going to play the new game i got about a week ago called Nanobreaker, ive been putting it off for a bit too long and ive been wanting to play it, ive just been lazy and been playing Smackdown vs Raw 2008 lol. Ive also been making wallpapers and it was cool to see that some of the sections that i suggested and created wallpapers for, were added today. Hopefully the other sections will be added soon as well :) In the meantime ill keep on creating wallpapers for new sections and suggesting new sections, thats for sure :) Im thinking about making a Gundam Wing wallpaper in a little bit and ill see what other wallpapers i can create, so be sure to keep an eye open :)
Other than that, there hasnt been much going on, Im sure ill find something fun to do today. I noticed that a couple of friends here on theotaku are going to sone cons over the weekend, i sure hope they have a great time and im certainly looking forward to hearing their stories when they get back :)
Well, i suppose that will be it for todays post, im going to get abck recording the encore showing of WWE Raw form this past monday :) I thank you all for visiting and i hope to chat with you soon :)

Hello everyone,
First of all, id like to apologize to Bulma for standing her up last night while we were chatting, I was restarting my computer and i ended up laying down while everything was loading up and i fell asleep, I sure hope you didnt stay up too late waiting for me, i wouldnt want you to miss sleep, thats for sure!
I just got fnished cooking 10 eggs and now im sitting here eating and posting. I had originally planned on posting last night, but around 6pm my sister woke me up to let me know that a stray dog that we had been taking care of had been hit by a car. My sister's friend had called and told my sister that she thought she had seen him on the side of the road, so i got up, got dressed and drove up the road to check and see. I remember hoping that it wouldnt be him, but in my mind i knew that he was the only dog that ran loose around here. When i got to the end of the road i found him and my heart sank. I wanted to cry, but i managed to hold it back, mostly because i didnt want my sister to see me that way. There wasnt a mess or anything like most people would expect, he was just laying there, like he was asleep, with not a scratch on him. and that made me feel a bit better inside, believeing that we went quick without any pain. I drove back home and let my sister know that it was in fact the dog we took care of. Then i came back to my room and sat down and told myself "I cant leave him there". He was such a good dog, always nice to everyone, even little kids, always barking at any one that wasnt a regular around the neighborhood. Even the Asian pizza delivery guy that always delivers pizza here liked the dog. I wont go into detail, ill just say that i went and got him and buried him in the back yard next to where i buried our other family dog a number of years ago. It was so hot outside while i was digging last night but the sun was setting just as i finished burying him, and it was beautiful. Seeing the sunset made me feel as if a higher power was letting me know that everything was alright now and i felt a bit relieved inside. I then came inside and took a shower and watched tv until i chatted with Bulma, then finally fell asleep.
I woke up around midnight and realized that i had fallen asleep on Bulma and i felt pretty bad about it. It made me feel alot better to chat with her last night, especially after all the events that took place. After i was fully awake, i finished watching an anime movie called "Lady Death" that i had started watching earlier yesterday, then i cleaned my bathroom and room, vaccumed, and did some laundry. When i finished i sat down and created a couple Lady Death wallpapers to upload later today, and i requested that a section be made for Lady Death as well. Im sure they are pretty tired of getting new anime section requests from me lol. Then i watched a ZOIDS vhs tape that ive owned for a couple years and never watched, It mostly had Zoids model and figure commercials, it only really had 2 episodes on it lol, but it was still fun to watch, It made me remember that show came and went pretty quick.
Right now Im watching a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle vhs tape that i own with the first 5 episodes of the original cartoon series. Ive been really enjoying it, especially while watching it on my new dvd/vcr combo player. Its alot better than my old vcr and dvd player thats for sure :)
Other than that, thats pretty much been it for me the past couple days, I enjoyed Lady Death, and i hope you all enjoy the wallpapers when i upload them in a little while when my 24 hour waiting period is up :)
i thank you all for visiting and i hope to chat with you all very soon :)

Hello everyone,
It looks like i finally managed to find the energy to get up and post. Im sorry i havent commented much on everyones pages and/or wallpapers etc. this week, work has been pretty hectic the past few days and ive been spending most of my days sleeping. I made a couple wallpapers yesterday, and was planning to post, but I ended up falling asleep while watching a movie i bought a couple days ago called Police Story with Jackie Chan. I finally just finished watching it a few minutes ago and i really enjoyed it. It had some pretty good fighting and cool stunts i havent seen before, ill be sure to post more about it later :)
Im also glad to announce that today i should reach 500 visits. Im sitting at 499 right now , so im hoping at least 1 crazy individual will check out this post and help me reach that milestone lol. Its pretty cool to watch this world grow and get visits, and i thank all for taking the time to visit and comment and everything else you do :)
Other than that i havent been up to much, Last night i bought a new PS2 controller and a PS2 game called "Nanobreaker" at Gamestop, i may play it and see what it is like after i work on some wallpapers today.
Today I Will finally make the Pom Poko and Aura Battler Dunbine wallpapers. Ive been putting them off for a few days and yesterday i used my dvds to get some screenshots to work with and today will be the day. I plan on uploading them sometime today and possibly making some other wallpapers to upload tommorrow when my 24 hours of uploading comes back around. gotta make up for those days this week that i wasnt productive lol.
Well, i better get to work on this stuff, i thank you all for visiting and i hope you enjoyed the post :) hope to chat soon,

Hello everyone,
Im sorry i havent posted the past couple of days, ive been up to quite a bit, especially yesterday, but im glad to be able to post about the past few days and let you all know what ive been doing, so hopefully youll have fun while reading :)
Friday I didnt do much, I ended up sleeping most of the day since i had to work later that night. i woke up around 1pm friday afternoon and got online and chatted with Xaos and Bulma for a little bit before i started going through some vhs tapes of some wrestling matches i had recorded over the past couple weeks (to show to a guy at work) and then got everything ready for work that night. I got to work around 9pm (i dont have to start working til 10pm) and i played playstation 2 until it was time to work. Work that night was pretty easy, and me and my friend had fun playing playstation 2 on lunch as usual, as well as watching some of the wrestling matches i had recorded. around 7am when i was done with work, I had to stay at my work because i had signed up for the Madden 2009 tournament (a PS3 football videogame) they were holding. I wasnt scheduled to play until 10am, but i decided to stay and help the people in the Electronics set up the big screen TVs and stuff like that, and once they had everything set up, i started playing by myself until the tournament started so i could get the hang of the controls. Mainly because i hadnt played PS3 since the Madden 2008 tournament a year earlier lol. I got somewhat familiar with the controls and while the first 2 guys started playing, i sat in the back and went over the controls using the instruction manual.
Then came 10:00 am.
I was kinda nervous, because my main goal this year was to at least win one game - Simply because the last 2 years i have been eliminated in my first game in the first round lol. I had to carry the burden of carrying the flag for our store because the 2 other employees that signed up got eliminated in their first game this year, so i was the only one left lol.
My first game was kinda difficult, but i managed to win
Dallas Cowboys - 14
New England Patriots - 0
I felt pretty tired after the game, but i was more excited that i had finally won a game in the tournment, so it managed to keep me awake and going until i had to play my 2nd game at noon.
The 2nd game worried me because the guy i was playing against came from behind on a guy i worked with (that ive played before on numerous occasions and is really good) and i was pretty sure he'd send me home, but my gameplan worked well and my defense got 5 turnovers on him which led to me winning my 2nd game and gauranteed me winning at least 4th place
Dallas Cowboys - 24
Baltimore Ravens - 17
by the time it was time for me to play my 3rd game at 3pm, i was really tired. I was yawning alot lol. My third game ended up being between myself and the same guy who beat me last year lol (and won the tournament last year). He's pretty good, and he had the privelidge of having the game a week before the tournament, so he had a head start on me, plus i was battling fatigue lol. in the end he won, but he said he respected the fact that i didnt stop playing even when the game was out of reach (the guy that played him before gave up and quit before the game was finished) so right after that game i had to play the guy who just lost the game on xbox 360 for 3rd place. To make it fair we played 1 half on PS3 and one half on xbox 360 then added up the scores from each half to get the total score, in the end i lost again which put me in 4th place out of 16 people, but i was glad i had finally won in the tournament. I came in trying to win one game and i managed to win 2, which was better than my initial goal, so i was really glad lol. when i got home around 5pm, i fell asleep and slept until 10 this morning LOL.
Earlier today when i woke up, i was flipping through the channels and on one channel the movie Stargate was playing, so i decided to watch it, since i hadnt seen it since it was first released back in the day lol. To be honest, i enjoyed it alot more this time around and it was alot better than i had remembered it was, ill have to look for it when i go to work monday night :)
I also took the time to create some wallpapers and i noticed that theotaku added the new sections i had requested Thundercats, and Bastard!!. After i made the Perfect Blue wallpapers this morning, i also requested that section to be made, so it was pretty fun to be a part of helping add section and letting others experience anime that they may not have seen before ^^
well, here are some links to the wallpapers i made this morning, hope you enjoy!
Well i suppose that will be all for today, Ill probably spend the rest of the day watching anime dvds, creating wallpapers and playing some videogames :) hopefull ill get the chance to chat with some of you as well ^^ i thank you for visiting and i hope you enjoyed the post :)
stay strong,
