   (from the library of a university, hidden away....)
Wow. It has been a while. Well, my job has been keeping me pretty busy as well as my classes which i'm not doing so well in...(except for Japanese, where I have a 102%....:).....) other classes have me boggled down and I have no way to stop it. What's even worse is that just when I had sooo many new ideas and images to submit to theotaku, my computer goes and has a power problem and now it's being serviced again.....(2nd time this year, 3rd time ever.) My computer always hates me just when I need it the most. *sigh* oh well. Hopefully when this is all over, my work can continue and everything should be alright. sorry that I have not kept in touch with you all. But that's college for you.

Running from my problems,

   Blah.....
well, how's this for some bitter false advertising......

I'm sorry minna-san, that I have been unable to update as much as I would like, because on top of my college schoolwork, playing in a marching band, and working 3 to 4 6-hour shifts at my local arcade, I haven't had much time to work on anything. It's been kind of a blah week where it's nothing but wake, shower, school, work, home, sleep for the last 2 to 3 weeks. My band also has had a lot of performances from street fairs to playing at halftimes of NFL games, so it's been busy as hell. As for wallpapers, I have images and some ideas, but I've not had any inspiration. Plus the fact that i got FF7-Advent Children and have been unable to focus on anything since then. *watches and cries tears of joy*

but yeah. It has been busy and I really need to figure something out, or I just might go insane from this.

Well, I got to get going. Gotta write a selection for a performance studies class. See you all soon:)


I hope.....

Spending his first paycheck:),

   Ahhhhh...I'm on Cloud-freaking-9............
Konban wa, minna-san!!!!

I bet you thought I was dead these last few weeks without a post from yours truly. Well, school has left me a bit tired with homework and the like, even my friends can say that I've been feeling less than hyper lately, but today, SO many things has happened as well as the events of the week.


First, I just finishede watching all of Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad and I must say that I have found my classic anime. This anime was just so damn good, I'm inclined to write a review for it for theotaku.

Second, for all my fans, I have new wallpapers that I'm almost done with and should post them later on tonight, maybe late.

Third, I have finally got a job.

My buddy Cody informed me that at the arcade he works at has recently found an opening in staff, an opening that I will fill starting next week, after a couple day's worth of training on this upcoming Thursday. This is so great, now I can have a steady supply of income to hopefully save for other things, like anime, games, manga, and our dream to all go to a con during spring break or something.

This has ben my golden wek for so many reasons. Also, i have noticed that my wallappers have now hit 10k worth of downloads. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!!!!! To all those on my friend list, I apologize for not checking up, I will stay alert and I'm ready to bring more to theotaku.com!!!!!

So get ready, because J2 is back, with a new job and an even greater creative side!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your budding salaryman,

   T3h T1r3d.............
Well, this day has really sucked for me so far. First, I oversleep and almost missed my music class, then I go to my Theater Costuming class completly unprepared (I needed this sewing kit plus a whole bunch of matierial, and I have found no time to get it) I went to Japanese and turned in my homework that I had to spend the whole weekend doing, then I failed a quiz in had to march for 2 hours in the hot sun before getting a sandwich from the eatery and retiring to my single dorm room to eat it, watch some anime, and maybe check up on Tetsu (My Shetland Sheepdog puppy on Nintendogs, the one thing that gives me joy in seeing the day through besides what I do on the computer)

Yeah, that's my day for today. Not really good.

Wallpaper wise, I have 6 done and 4 in the works, so there should be a submitting very soon. I'm almost to the big 10k downloading mark, so get to my site and download the crap out of my files!

If it hits, I'll put up a really special wallpaper that I'm saving for such an occassion........

   School's back in session......

   Out of the frying pan, into the fire......
well, it has been very very busy with some things since my last post. Good news- I'm back here with my college connections, and as you have seen, so are my wallpapers. I have many more in the works, which will soon be up in good time. Bad news-I'm tired as hell, and I still have 4 more days of marching band camp to go through, which include today a visit to the Indiana State Fair for a special performance, even though we learned all of our fundamentals only yesterday.

Yeah, we are in some serious hurt.

But it's good. My instrumental section is quite big this year, and we sound very good. I just hope that we can do well today....

Also, it doesn't help that I just came to college after dealing with a good visit from my mom's friends from up north. She brought 4 boys, ages 17 to 12, and three little girls, ages 7, 6, and 3. She also brought along a little shih tzu which drove my poor dog nuts. So I have had no chance whatsoever to wind down for these events.

I just moved back in to this room, went online to check out the wallpapers that are up (which makes me realize how crappy some of my wallappers are:( ) but I'm sure a lot of you disagree on this, I'm just telling it the way I see it.

Well, I got to go pack some things up for the bus trip, if they only had an outlet for my computer'a AC adapter........oh well. Well, have a good week all, and I will return maybe later this week......I hope.....

Running his feet to bloody stumps,

   Where's my Alka Seltzer??//
Well, Tiime for my next posting, even though it's about a week late.....lately, I've just been relaxing and going online once everyother day to leave comments and such, not enough time to leave a full post, but enough about that, I have other news for you.

I am sick asd a dog right now.

the worse thing has happened, I have a summer cold. These kind of colds suck so hard, it takes weeks to recover from one. I have been fighting it tooth and nail and taking 2 alkaseltzer a day to fight it. it's getting harder to fall asleep at night. That plus that I had to go to the dentist yesterday, which is always fun (if the idea of metal picks scraping your teeth is fun) Good news though, I have at least 8 wallpapers made and ready for submits, with many more still in the works.

Oh well. I'll get my medicine, kick back, and maybe watch me some old-school anime from my home collection. Wish me a great recovery.

Knowing the meaning of "suffering artist",

   Here's some news right from Tornado Alley....
Well, here's my first weekly post out of three to let you know that I'm alive and kicking, and I bring you news of some serious weather. First, we ad a crazy heat wave that brought temps well into 100, which means that there is no ay in hell I would go outside, so I spent my time creating new wallpapers here for theotaku, which I hope you will all enjoy once I get back. Secondly, the wave has broken, but to get rid of it, we had the mother of all storms. It even included a tornado touching down in my own hometown about 5 miles north of where my family was......Scared the crap out of me. I had to huddle in the bathroom with my mom and dog while I played some Red vs Blue and showed her some of the wallpapers that I had created. Our house was spared by the tornado, but watching the news yesterday, there were many homes near ours that weren't so lucky:(
Still, I digress. Don't know the status on session 2's grades because its unavailable right now, but hopefully I did well. and some major props to ayame-meimei and Sakura Ryuu and all of my many fans and friends at theotaku.com Thanks for looking in on me, and I hope that you still enjoy my wallpapers. See you all next week:)

Cheatin death one storm at a time,

   Microsoft's newest victim......
Well, today I finally give up. After years of cursing Microsoft, claiming that Bill Gates is the Antichrist, and hating my dependence on Windows because, well, Macs suck in general, Today Microsoft is claiming my soul. Yes my friends, today:

I'm getting a Xbox

I told myself that if Xbox came out with 3 classic-must-have-games, I would get one. Now there are three games: Halo, Dead or Alive, and now, Steel Battalion.

It all started 5 days ago, when I spent the night at my friend Cody's house because his family was out of town, and he invited Our buds Henry and Erin for some gaming, movies, and the ever-popular anime. But Erin brought his Xbox with Steel Battalion, a game that comes with an extra special controller. A giant controller that has pedals and about 4 feet of hardware that simulates the inside of the cockpit to the mech you are in. I played it for 2 hours and was hooked like a crackhead. Now, I must give my soul through Microsoft and die playing these games and live out my favorite mech fantasies. well, I'd go on, but the mech commands me.........

Microsoft's newest zombie,
