Plagerism- Ranting......
Ok, for those of you who have checked out the top article, theotaku is apparently trying to crackdown on plagerists for this site. Well, let me just say one thing: If they want to stop plagerism, then they must completly disband the wallpaper section alltogether. I mean think about it. We all take images from our favorite anime, which was all drawn by somebody other than us, whether you do a wallpaper on Inuyasha, Naruto, Gundam Seed or whatever anime is a favorite of yours, the images that you base your wallpaper on is not an image you yourself created 90% of the time. So the comments made in the new submit page makes no sense. Yes, plagerism is a problem, but you know what, the wallpapers are put on here so that people can download them and enjoy them on their desktop. And seeing as though it does not cost anything for us to create, submit, and download these images,unless you are one of those who got Photoshop or some other expensive pait program) let's just appreciate the fact that this community is full of people who love their work. Not all images here are plagerized, leave us alone, and let us have free reign to unleash our creative muse without having to go through about 150 wallpaper pages in a catregory to see if another version of the wallpaper you're about to submit is there or not. The whole idea is asinine, it's way to much trouble, and it is far to troubling to those who just want to share a piece of picture data to all who would like it. Thank you for listening.

Your fellow wallpaper artist,

   Ahhhhhh....summer days........
*Yawns* Wow, what a day. This is one of those humid, hot and muggy, "stay-inside-your-room-unless-there's-a-fire-alarm" kinda days. I think I'm good to go in classes, so I'm just relaxing and doing a whole bunch of wallpapers for submission. I got about 12 to 15 to maybe 20 if I'm going strong. So to those who like my work, you will be soon rewarded ;) If anyone has any ideas and/or requests as to what anime you would like me to do, please let me know and I'll try to fill in your request. Other than that, I just want to wish you all a happy summer as I continue my work and wishing yoiu all a cool and fun summer,

   Almost done........
Well, this week has been another crunch week for me, but as of tomorrow, it will be over. I spent yesterday at the local arcade to do some DDR and some fake D&D which was rather amusing despite the fact I never play it. My page number in report record went up from 13 pages in one report to 19. I was shocked. It took me about 4 hours to do, I was half-dead at the end. But now, I got another 10 page paper to write tonight, which should be the last one for me to do for this session. Hopefully, I can get back to wallpaper working by then, so for those who have left comments and signed my guestbook during these weeks, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to the next works I'll be submitting, so just wait and be patient, ok? ok.

Your good friend,

   Week of Hell Update
Weel, the week is over. I got my two papers and my test done. I'm pretty confident in my results here, just that one long paper for next Tuesday, but that can be done on Sunday and Monday. I really should prioritize my time a lot better. Oh well, now I'll proabably play some Fire Emblem, a little Alchemy, and finish it with some Full Metal Panic! (My buddy Cody let me borrow the full collection!!!! YES!!!!) No working on the wallpapers, but he you might get lucky on Saturday night. Until then, my friends, I'm gonna scream at the top of my lungs. L4t3r! *goes to get black ninj4 gear from closet and sets out to random campus spot*

   Week of Hell (Remix)
Wow.....isn't this just great? Now, I have a 3-page article summary due tomorow, a class exam essay due Thursday, a weekly final in Japanese History on Friday, and a really big paper for the same class next Tuesday. For those who are new to my little blog, this is a time I call the Week of Hell, where all school matters seem to pile up on me at once, and right after vacation......(groan) Oh well, this can be expected when you take summer classes......Wish me luck.

P.S.- Enjoy the wallpapers I'll put up tomorrow. Just gotta finish the paper and unpack some crap first. Later:)

   Chronicles of A DDR Maniac: Part 1
Ok, mostly I have been posting just school related stuff, but today, I will relate my DDR expieriences. Lately, with my best friend Cody working at the local mall arcade, I have been well-known there among the DDR community. I have been training myself nonstop all of this wekk and last week and i have finally reached the heavy level. For a guy like me who is very tall and muscular, moving my legs fast enough for heavy-style streaming can be quite difficult. But now, I considered myself good enough to go with Cody and his brother for an hour's road trip to tackle the American-made In the Groove 2 in a putt-putt golf arcade. After spending 5 dollars on this machine per person, we tackeled all sorts of songs, and I have grown addictedto a trance version of Habanera while Cody has Bumble Bee stuck in his brain, proabably for the rest of the week. Anyway, after that we dined at a local Steak and Shake and just talked about random topics. In the end, it was a good way to spend yesterday, especially after I tackled that damn paper (see post below) Now I just need to study tonight for my exam......wish me luck all.

   Procrastination......
Well, today I'm sitting in the college library typing this post, while instead I should be typing a 3-page article summary. But seeing as though my class doesn't start in 48 minutes, that should be enough time to start on it, then I finish it during class.

I know that I should do better than this. Procrastination has always been a little curse of mine. It's just that if it doesn't involve any hobbies of mine, I feel really hard-pressed to do it until I know that it must be done, to the point where I go all postal and paniky and just want to jump through a window. I don't understand it much, but I know that it stops me from gewtting perfect grades. Oh well. As we say in the college world; A's are great, but C's get degrees. Long as I'm around 2.7 to 2.9, I'll be happy. So time to start typing this summary, Arrgh......Well, hopefully when this is done, I'll do something better to post here to reelate to you all.

Ja.........

Yay for the paycheck......
well, today is just another day for me, but for those who care, I got my second paycheck and I intend to spend it on the one thing that we care about......anime! So if anyone out there have any good suggestions for titles, let me know so I can get the most out of my money.

Also, to those who kept watch over the Week of Hell, here are my results of that work: 2 Bs and an A from my 3 summer session classes. Very good work, thank you for the support.

Ja ne!
