Discovery
~Here comes the Thnikkaman~

I just started watching Ghost in the Shell yesterday. Why haven't I watched this before? And It's like, 5 years old. But when it's A.D. 2030, we won't be carrying our brains around in suitcases and have awesome talking tanks who play PSPs.. It's a long story (not really) of how I got into that show. I was in this C++ class one summer, and there was this anime fangirl. We were allowed to bring USB flash drives to take our files home, and we had pretty good use of the laptops. One time I got her laptop and it had free mp3s from various animes on the desktop, as well as a remix of the numa numa dance (the only thing I recognized). I'm not the kind of guy to delete anything he finds lying around, so I copied these onto my flash drive, and later copied them onto my desktop at home. Since I didn't have much interest in them past the initial discovery, they were left there forgotten on my computer for some time. Later, after I had developed an interest in Haruhi Suzumiya, I ended up downloading an mp3 of God Knows. One day, When I wanted to listen to it and I forgot where I saved it, I did a search of C: for files containing "god knows". I found it- and another file called "Hirano_Aya_-_God_knows". Curiously, I opened it. It was definitely the same song...but it was the extended version. It came from the directory "new folder"(I currently have 17 folders called "new folder", as well as the time I got fed up with the default names and named an old one "not new folder"). I opened it and found the lost treasure of Atlantis:

.DS_Store
AI.mid
BOBD.mid
colors_of_the_heart_tv.mp3
hal-starrysky.mp3
Hirano_Aya_-_God_knows.mp3
inner universe.mp3
licoln-park numb.mp3
N UMA NUMA.wma
Open_Up_Your_Mind_remix.mp3
Starry_Sky_Remix.mp3
Utada Hikaru - Sanctuary.mp3
UVERworld_AI_Ta_Kokoro.mp3

Alright, so the midis of boulevard of broken dreams and american idiot were from another guy. And the first NUMA is messed up. And some aren't anime songs at all. But it was only very recently that I realized what they were. It was right there in the album information, new things waiting to be discovered. Today, I am into Bleach, Haruhi, Ghost in the Shell, and currently trying to watch Angelic Layer and Blood +. Come on, Bitlord! 99:99:99 is not in my lifetime!
