I had always wondered what it was that motivated people to dress up as their favorite fictional characters and attend these large conventions with others in costume. I never quite understood it until 19 May, 2005.
The release of the final Star Wars movie was an event every Star Wars fan around the globe was waiting for. Despite what fans may have thought of Episodes I & II, we were excited! ? My friends and I had bought our tickets well in advanced and were prepared to make this one midnight screening we wouldn’t soon forget!
Hours before the movie premier, a large crowd had already gathered and the line extended well beyond the indoor lobby into the hot afternoon sun outside. You could feel the excitement and the energy radiating from the crowd as the anticipation for this epic movie heightened and its climax grew nearer. More »
As some of you already know, today is in fact my birthday. I’ve been working on this particular post for a while now, not truly knowing when or if I should post it. This is one of my longer posts, but it explores who I was years ago, how I became who I am today, and what I’m doing to improve my social standing in life. It was heavily inspired by Floreta???s post ???On Friendship.???
I have included several links to previous blog entries that delve deeper into the subject matter written about in that particular section. For the full experience, I recommended you check out the blog posts linked if you haven???t already. Enjoy!

Yours truly will be attending this years SanJapan: A Japanese Culture & Anime Convention in San Antonio, Texas this Saturday. I know most of my readers don’t live anywhere near San Antonio, but if you find yourself in the downtown area this weekend, be sure you say hi to the Chris Redfield & Jill Valentine pair you’ll find walking around.

???The Boondock Saints??? is the story of two brothers that one day find themselves staring death in the face. With no choice but to fight for their survival, they overcome a difficult situation and kill their assailants. A simple case of self-defense, end of story? No way!
Later that night, a voice reading scriptures from the Bible plays through their head as they sleep.? When they wake up to the sounds of a thunderstorm and dripping water in their cell, they realize what they???ve been called to do??????destroy all that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish.???

I don???t care what kind of movies you like or don???t like, I highly suggest you rent/buy/borrow/steal a copy of ???The Boondock Saints??? and watch it tonight. Its one of my favorite movies, and a movie I’ve made sure to watch every St. Patrick???s Day for the past few years. Go watch it and let me know what you thought of it!

Here are a few pictures from the “Go-Onger vs GekiRanger” movie premier in Japan on Wednesday, compliments of Manpei Takagi (Fukami Retsu/GekiBlue) & Hiroki Suzuki (Kando Jan/GekiRed). Two more pictures by following the read link!
