While I’m sure many of you know of this masterpiece of a movie, and if you’re not I suggest you make yourself aware of it, but many of us don’t know about the band of the same name. Well, let me clear things up. One of them is good, and the other just makes me laugh for 102 minutes.
Please enjoy this small clip of a boy punching a dog in the face, an angry old man with a shotgun, a crazy young man that can’t speak any language, bad lighting techniques, and a labyrinth inside a house.

I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. Although, I hope I didn’t scare you away..
If you were to really think that, you would probably know me personally. The GazettE 「ガゼット」 is a Japanese group that are classified as rock/metal. Granted, most of their songs probably sound as such, but there are some that have a smooth/easy going feel to it. Hell, some of them fuse easy listening to rock, if you can imagine that. Heavy listening?
Their appearance is quite strange because they follow a movement called “Visual Kei” (V-kei for short). For those of you with prior knowledge to Japanese bands, this should not be news to you. For those of you who haven’t, run while you can! Just kidding. Basically a Visual Kei band is a group who dresses up eccentrically. Makeup us usually worn. Sometimes cross-dressing is involved, so don’t be to quick to ogle over those hot ‘chicks’ because chances are they are dudes.
If you’re a fan of not-so-usual bands, then you’re in for a treat! The Yoshida Brothers are a musical group in Japan that play a Japanese classical musical instrument called the Shamisen. Although their style of music is not classical Japanese, it does take much of it and creates a fusion of sorts. Their Shamisen playing is often times accompanied by a typical rock band backing (Drums, bass, piano, etc…).
Kirby is by far my favorite game series because it’s just so much fun. Each game is different in itself so it’s hard to correctly define kirby as one specific game, although we can all agree that it’s a 2D platformer. Each game is different in different ways (if that made sense). In one game the enemies don’t give powers. In one game there are animal helpers, which you can ride (It gives your power a different effect depending on the animal). In one game you can create helpers with powers. In one game you can COMBINE powers. In one game you move according to a line you draw. So it’s really hard to say.
My favorite: Kirby Super Stars
Why: It’s the first one that introduced a wide variety of mini games and the first one that you could create a helper with an ability. The helper makes it possible to be a cooperative two player game, which is a definite plus for me. I love coop games.
Joe Frank is the title of a radio show hosted by a man of the same name. He’s a storyteller and his stories are always twisted, humorous and often times philosophical. When you hear him, you can’t help but wonder how the heck he comes up with it. He has won a number of awards such as a Lifetime Achievement award, an Emmy, and he is a Guggenheim fellow.
If I were to describe him in one sentence, I would probably just use this one because it’s really quite perfect in it’s entirety.
“Frank’s radio programs are at times dark and frequently ironic, humorous and absurd. Adding to the atmosphere of Frank’s monologues.” -http://JoeFrank.com

I need a new name for my blog… Something more unique. Preferably something that reflects what I write about. Please give me some ideas as to what I should change it to. I feel that “Blog subject to change” is really not that unique and most likely will not be shown on search engines and stuff like that.
I’m gonna use this post to reveal some of the web services that I use, and some of the other websites that I like to visit. It’s really just to give a little info about what I do, but it’s also an opportunity to show people nice places on the web. Continue reading ‘Internet websites unite!’
I recently came across a few alternately drawn pictures from our favorites. Most of these I’ve seen before, but some are just pretty darn cool so I just had to post ‘em.
