Number 81 / 9.11

	Top 100 Japanese Music Artists: Number 81 09/11 - 81. Yellow Monkey FInally a band I know. For you anime fans, you may remember Yellow Monkey as doing one of the ending themes for Rurouni Kenshin. For a stupid band name, they aren't that bad. Well deserved in the top 100. I wonder what other bands will be awarded in the future. It's getting exciting lol Well it's 9.11, the 2 year anniversary. I honestly don't know what to think. I wonder what the TV and radio stations plan to do as a rememberence. I was anxious to see last year, but nothing big happened. I think alot of peopel are just trying to forget about it, but I honestly don't see how you can. Thats like just forgetting the atomic bomb was dropped lol. It's just weird. Thinking something like that could happen... And now 2 years later we've accomplished the goals of... ridding Afganistan of the Taliban and getting rid of Saddam Husein... wow... we've done so much.... someone really ought to get fucking Monkey-ass Bush out of office soon. It's just getting ridiculous... the lies, the stupidity... everything... How did this guy get elected again? I had my first quiz at the Uni today... and i think I failed..... oh well. You know who rocks? Penicillin rocks... yep.... Song of the Moment: Time Machine Soundtrack

Number 82 / RIAA

	Top 100 Japanese Music Artists: Number 82 09/10 - 82. Jacks I am not even gonna comment. lol. The RIAA sucks. You can read my comments in the post at OB in the music forum. Ridiculous... So I've started my new campaign... Support Artists, Don't buy CDs. Ofcourse the chances of it catching on are slim to none. People are supporting the RIAA everytime they buy a CD... it's ridiculous... how can you support someone that sues 12 year old kids? Pathetic. Nothing really happened today. It was an all out boring day. Yep... so... yeah.... I make a habbit of posting every night, with the top 100, but it's hard to post about a day where nothing happened lol. Dum Dum Dee Dum...

   Number 83 / Bucs Football (again?)

	Top 100 Japanese Music Artists: Number 83 09/09 - 83. Fishmans I don't know anything about this group, nor do I care to. They look goofy, they have a goofy name, they probably make goofy music. Although with my luck, it's probably really good. Now onto important football stuff. Yes more straight talking from me in this post again. The Buc won their game tonight, if you didn't watch, shame. I didn't though, I was at work :( Anyway, the score was 17 to... ZIP! lol HAHAHA stupid Eagles.... My friend at work thought the Eagles were gonna win... haha, well I get to laugh at him tomorrow. Bucs are doing great as usual. Hopefully we'll see good things from them again this year. Now onto cars lol. I got my K&N air filter in today. woot, no more stupid air box crap. Next up, dual exhaust. Which should be this weekend or sometime soon. So yay for that. Now onto more gay stuff. There's this new show coming out called "Thats Relative"... about a girl and guy and one of them has gay parents. Lenny Clark plays in it and he's pretty funny as well as this other guy I've seen on some other sitcom before who plays one of the gay dads. It looks pretty funny. Also I wanted to know if anyone out there knows when the new season of Queer as Folk starts? I think it's this fall but I dunno?... I suppose I could go to the website and look but I'm too lazy lol. Anyway, yay gay shows... oh and i saw Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for the first time the other week. I've seen the "Fab Five" before, but never the actual show. That one guy with the spikey hair, skinny.. young looking.... so pretty...... oh ahem... is totally hot... ::melts:: I think his name is like Kayl or some shit with a K... It doesn't matter what his name is really.... just matters how endowed he is and how good he is in bed lol..... That was a joke... Onwards. If you've never seen the movie "The Time Machine" go watch it. It's really good. And the soundtrack is really good too. I love it, almost as ood as Last of the Mohicans. Great soundtrack... I love soundtracks that are orchestrated music. Oh and did any of you see that hot stuff Andy Roddick win the US Open? He is totally hot.. and he's dating the lovely Mandy Moore (who lives by me, and her brother is gay, although NOT cute, and I've met him several times before) They are so cute, and he is so hot... kinda reminds me of A Walk To Remember when she was with whats his name who's hot as shit too. Ohh time for Bucs highlights! PS: Forgot my Strong Bad E-mail thingy. This week was Kid's Book. I thought it was kinda funny. Strong Bad always makes me laugh when he changes the words of other people into something funny. And he's always drawing things. It was a pretty good one. Especially the girl who could play linebacker for the Raiders lol. That one cracked me up. Fun stuff as usual from Strongbadia. SOng of the Moment: Time Machine SOundtrack

Number 84 / Football

	Top 100 Japanese Music Artists: Number 84 09/08 - 84. Noriyuki Makihara Pretty famous Japanese male pop singer. Probably more popular a few years back, but he's got some recent activity still (a maxi-single release 3 monnths ago) and he apparently did some stuff with SMAP, which is always a plus cause... well how can you not like SMAP? So yeah... lets talk about football. What a horrid day in football. Both the Florida teams who played today (Miami and Jacksonville) lost in the 4th quater after having significant leads, although Miami's was not so significant. Both their apponents (Houston for Miami and Carolina for Jacksonville) scored in the last 30 second to win the games. How? How come every team today has either blown a lead or almost blown a lead. Minnesota almost blew a HUGE lead to Green Bay... I like the Vikings cause their QB, Dante Cullpepper, is from UCF, my school :) But still... and then Atlanta just whooped Dallas, which is not good cause Atlanta is an opponent of Tampa Bay, who plays tomorrow night against the Eagles... which they better not lose, cause this would really suck. The Radiers lost though, boo ya lol. Just like they did in the Super Bowl... HAHAHA! Tampa Bay ROCKS! WHOOOO... ok enough of the straight moment. Barely worked on the car today, it was hot, moist, and looked like it was gonna rain, but alas, it didn't. I should ge tmy new air intake in this week, so I'll get that in soon. New Simpsons quote above. ^ What else?... This new BT album rocks so much. ANyone who likes ANY music should deffinantly buy it. His range in genres on music is so varied... he does EVERYTHING! From rap, to pop, to trance, to even ROCK music in on this album. All in one album. It's called Emotional Technology. And it will deffinantly be worth the $13 you spend on it. I still have homework lol. I'll get to that later. Oh yeah, I bowled tonight... I shot like... 150, 135, and 157. ohhh.... that second game... blah. Horrid. We won 2 points, out of 7 though... Blah. I have to get used to these lanes again. And it's Sunday night... so tired. I guess no one else wants links. So... yeah. The offer still stands and I'm only trying to help people out, but if they don't ask I can't help. Thats all. Song of the Moment: BT - PARIS

Number 85 / Car

	The Top 100 Japanese Music Artists: Number 85 09/07 - 85. Ken Hirai Never heard of him, but apparently he quite popular, or at least was a recent as 2001. I'm still waiting for any of the bands I know of... Theres so much that even I and wrist cutter don't know about Japanese music lol. Ofcourse most of these artists on this list are pop artists, most of which we don't listen to all that much. We're rock folk, except me who also enjoys dance. Thought wrist cutter does enjoy a good Ayu or Kyoko song here or there. So do I! lol. My car is gonna be worked on tomorrow dammit. I've put it off long enough. My friend is coming over so we have to do it this weekend cause he's taking out his engine next weekend, which I'll probably be helping with too. So hopefully we'll get some things done with my car. Most of it will be painting which means we got to take alot of it apart lol. Fun fun. So thats what I'm doing tomorrow, yay me. I realize that whatever I talk about alot of people don't comment on. I dunno if it's because no one likes what I talk about or they just don't give a rats ass. Then again, no one views myOtaku that much lol. I get 4 views a day if I'm lucky. I'm currently ranked 84, but that changes every day from low 80's to the low 100's. Who the number one rated guy? James? I have no idea where I stand on this lol. I'm just abit curious, but I'd like to know that I'm just not spewing my words to the empty chairs that is my audience lol. I'm an artist, I have a tendency to want responces to my work lol. I hope I don't come off as concieded and ass hole-ish. Simpsons quote of the week will get changed every Sunday if you care. Oh yeah, almost forgot my rant of the day. Florida (UF) played Miami tonight in a football game. Now the Gators are my team. They were doing great after they let a guy run back the opening kickoff for a touchdown. They had 30 nanswered points. They were leading 33 to 10. Let me say that score for you again... 33.... Thirty-three.... to 10.... ten.... Thats a 23 point lead. Thats at least 3 touchdowns.... and they BLEW IT all in the 3rd and 4th quarters... they lost! How the fuck do you lose a game you have up 33-10 at half time? NO! thats what a shitty team does! You, Florida, are a shitty team! I am no longer a fan of Florida. If they can't keep that type of lead.... no... you suck. You don't deserve any fans. Horrible. I will now be devoted to Kentucky and my own school, UCF, both of which are in the same 1A division. Both of who aren't that good, but they don't blow leads by 23 points either! SHAME on you Mr. Gator... now go and sulk in your horrible-ness. I never liked college football anyway, and this is why. Song of the Moment: Darude - Serendipity

Number 87 and 86 / New Music

	The Top 100 Japanese Music Artists: Number 87 and 86: 09/05 - 86. Yonin Bayashi A 70's band. hmmm I wonder how Japanese disco sounds?... oh wait, I know lol. Yeah, so thats cool. At least they picked someone from the 70s on the list. 09/06 - 87. Rip Slyme The second hip hop group to make it. They've been ok lately, few top hits here and there. Rap is getting more and more popular in Japan everyday, much like here. And it's almost the same too. Very odd to compare the two. SO yeah, I ended up pre-ordering Dir en grey's VULGAR albums as well as move's Super Tune Best Of. and DECADANCE mini album. That was 83 bucks. Then I went to Best Buy today and found BT's and Darude's new albums so I bought them too lol. So $110 bucks on 5 CDs in 2 days lol. Not to mention I bought car parts and I bought some bowling stuff today. So I have clean balls lol. I know some of you just want to feel my clean balls and hold them and caress my clean balls. I start my league on Sunday with my parents! lol. So next week I get in my new CDs, car parts, and I bowl. Yays. Anyway, I would have updated last night, however after I got done watching Bulletproof Monk, the site was down. And I didn't have time to update it today. So now I am. Be happy! And if anyone wants links, check the post below for details. Song of the Moment: Stand Up Comedy: Nick Swardson

   *ATTENTION* Bling Bling lol

	If you look above... no, not at your ceiling silly, of this page you're currently reading, you'll notice a couple o' links. I figured I'd do the good members of OB, and those of MyOtaku, and/or friends of mine a good deed and link to their site(s) if they so deserve it. As you can see Tony's site is up there, well both of them, and wrist cutter's exquisit (could do without GLAY) site is up there as well. If you have a GOOD site (key word here is good, if you need examples, go to the ones already there), if you are a member of OB, MyOtaku, or you are someone who I've known for a long time, you may proceed to e-mail me or IM me if you wish to have your link placed here. I DO NOT link to other myotaku sites, thats what the friends thing below is for, and I don't link to anime sites. I like personal sites, an art site, a music site, a movie site, anything but anime. Hell if you had a porn site I'd link it lol, well maybe not, unless I got like a free year's membership or something. When e-mailing or IMing, both of which can be found to your left, include site name and site URL. I will make the banner (because I need to keep it within the 247x32 size and same font and color to go with this color sceme of MyOtaku). If you have two sites which are worthy of linking, I'll put them side to side (see Wrapped in Plastic / Slow Nerve Action banner for example) and link them accordingly. If you ask, depending on the day or the week or whatever, it may take a few days to get your link up. Contrary to popular belief, I do indeed have a life. Also I do NOT require any type of link back to this site, although if you strongly feel the need to do so, I won't be offended. :) I'm just trying to help out fellow website builders and fellow members of OB and MyOtaku. Thanks. ~Chris

Dir en grey

	Ok, I need help, but this isn't one of those OB threads about love that seems to be overused. Dir en grey's new album comes out the 10th. There's 2 versions. The obviousl regular version and the Limited Edition version. The difference? The Limited Edition comes with a 2nd disc which is a DVD. HOWEVER, as you all should know, this is a Japanese product, therefor DVDs are region 2. I do not know if Region 2 will play on my DVDROM, it may not, it may (i've heard stories about some DVDROMS). Also, I'm a collector of Deg albums, I have all of them, every version except the first press of Missa, which values around 60+ dollars, and the Japanese version of Kei and Kisou (I have the official overseas version of Kisou and the bootleg version of Kai, but Kai is a remix album so I don't care) So I kinda want to have the limited edition. It'll probably be worth something later on if I feel the need to sell it. Here's the catch, it's about 11 bucks more to get this DVD I MIGHT not be able to watch. And even if I could watch it, according to CDJapan, the DVD only contains a promo clip for OBSCURE (a song on the album) and it mentioned nothing else. Is 10 bucks a deal for a DVD containing 1 thing that I know of that I might not be able to see? As a collector? Either way I'm getting the album. Dunno which version. Gackt also had a mini album he was going to release the 18th, but that stupid son of a bitch cancelled it. So I'm pissed about not having new Gackt. Not to mention I have to buy move's best of album as well as their new mini album, due out the same day as Dir. So lots of money going into something I haven't bought in a while... expecting to pay almost 80 bucks for the three... I guess move can wait.

   Number 88 / Strong Bad Email

	The Top 100 Japanese Music Artists: Numebr 88 09/04 - 88. Princess Princess Another evil Japanese girl group pop band thingy. This one from the mid 80s early 90s... so they probably suck lol. I like some of the Japanese girl bands, even though they are so overdone like boybands in America, but too much is too much. I'lls tick to Morning Musume, which you'll probably end up seeing on this list eventually. Now to Strong Bad e-mail. I figure I'll do a little thing every week on Strong Bad e-mail since I find it absolutely hilarious and whatnot. This week was: Labor Day. It wasn't as funny as last weeks Strong Sad lookalike contest, but it was still kinda good. Sitting on a cooler, talking with the stick lol. He made some ok jokes about people walking by, but you can only be so funny when you make fun of someone, and SB does it all the time lol. I like his witty style of humour much better. So yeah, it was an ok episode, could have been better, although I didn't quite understand that stupid Homestar song on the "secret" extra part. Thought it was rather stupid. So anyway, we got out of work super early today cause well, Brent and I are the shit! woot. So yeah. I was thinking of watching Bad Boys II, but the movie is 2 and a half hours long and yeah... Maybe I'll just do nothing instead. Schoolt oday was ok. I actually don't mind going to school anymore. The only problem is walking a bitint his hot Florida sun to class. Can't wait till it gets a bit cooler. On Sunday's it looks like I'll be bowling with my best friend and my parents. lol. My parents are very odd sometimes. When they drink, which isn't often, they always talk about sex.... Do you realize how frightening that is to a GAY SON! lol. Wonderful. My life is full of knowing too much that I shouldn't about people's sex lives. At work I know about 2 of the girls personal lives, like every bit... plus my boss is like... well yeah, alot of drama. On the bright side, I like my new haircut :) Anyway, thats it for this night/morning. I'm outtie 5000, bitch! PS: added a little background. MyOtaku is coming along quite nice. Song of the Moment: Hell, uhh pick something quick!

Number 89 / Jimmy is GOD!

	Number 89 on the Top 100 Japanese artists: 09/03 - 89. Original Love Never heard of em lol But judging from the picture, he's from the 80's. Probably a pop singer, or like a Pop/Rock singer. Anyway, I must give a huge thank you to Jimmy for fixing that damned HTML problemo I was having, even though it was a easy mistake and not really html related. So he fixed that and I added some different things so it looks a bit neater and better. I'm thinking about adding a little middle picture but not sure yet. If so I'll do some other day. Before you know it, I'll have the best MyOtaku in town. Also thanks to Piro for the code, even though he got it from someone else I think. Oh right, and tonight at work I was asked to close again cause one of my workmates has problems at home. Thats all fine and dandy and he's a nice guy, but you need to learn to keep personal problems away from the work place. You not only affect yourself, but your workmates and the constumers you are working for. It's ridiculous. He's a step above me in ranking, he needs to be a good example, and this is not a good example. I refused to close for him. He says he wants to be a manager by the end of the year and with the way he's been acting, he won't make it. It just bothers me to no end that every fucking Tuesday I'm asked to close because of something he did or the way he feels... I need a raise. And Tori or Deb, or whoever reads this first. I know Deb has called me 3 times and I've yet to answer... nor have I called her back lol. I've been insanely busy and the first 2 times she called I was asleep. lol I USUALLY don't wake up till noon, if not later. And Monday night we were busy at work so I neever got a chance to answer. So call back Thursday :) I'll answer, if it's after noon lol. Thanks, and sorry. ciao. Song of the Moment: Conan O'Brien
