Have just found out that my two most favorite MTV shows of all time, "The State" and "Daria" are both FINALLY coming to DVD!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is off to a pretty damn good start!!!!

If anyone has heard from or knows the whereabouts of lemonyloyce, please drop me a line. I've been trying to contact her for two days now with no luck.

We saw this on the side of some buildings around the LA convention center yesterday when we went out for lunch after Anime Expo. It looks pretty...but then, Final Fantasy stuff always does.

Whatever complaints I have about my country, I'm still proud to be an American.

Enjoy a few quotes from my favorite Fourth of July movie, 1776.

Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Please Mr. Dickinson, but must you start banging? How is a man to sleep?
John Dickinson: Forgive me, Dr. Franklin, but must YOU start speaking? How is a man to stay awake? We'll promise to be quiet - I'm sure everyone prefers that you remained asleep.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: If I'm to hear myself called an Englishman, sir, I assure you I prefer I'd remained asleep.
John Dickinson: What's so terrible about being called an Englishman? The English don't seem to mind.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Nor would I, were I given the full rights of an Englishman. But to call me one without those rights is like calling an ox a bull. He's thankful for the honor, but he'd much rather have restored what's rightfully his.
John Dickinson: When did you first notice they were missing, sir?

John Adams: I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress! And by God, I have had this Congress! For ten years, King George and his Parliament have gulled, cullied, and diddled these colonies with their illegal taxes! Stamp Acts, Townshend Acts, Sugar Acts, Tea Acts! And when we dared stand up like men, they have stopped our trade, seized our ships, blockaded our ports, burned our towns, and spilled our BLOOD! And still, this Congress refuses to grant ANY of my proposals on independence, even so much as the courtesty of open debate! Good God, what in hell are you waiting for?

Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Treason is a charge invented by winners as an excuse for hanging the losers.
John Adams: I have more to do than stand here and listen to you quote yourself.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Oh, but that was a new one!

John Adams: This is positively indecent!
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Oh, John, they're young and they're in love.
John Adams: Not them, Franklin. Us! Standing out here, waiting for them to... I mean, what will people think?
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Don't worry, John. The history books will clean it up.
John Adams: It doesn't matter. I won't be in the history books anyway, only you. Franklin did this and Franklin did that and Franklin did some other damn thing. Franklin smote the ground and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them- Farnklin, Washington, and the horse- conducted the entire revolution by themselves.
[pause]
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: I like it.

John Dickinson: Fortunately, the people maintain a higher regard for their mother country.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: Higher, certainly, than she feels for them. Never was such a valuable possession so stupidly and recklessly managed, than this entire continent by the British crown. Our industry discouraged, our resouces pillaged... first of all our very character stifled. We've spawned a new race here, Mr. Dikinson. Rougher, simpler; more violent, more enterprising; less refined. We're a new nationality. We require a new nation.

From Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen in Twilight): There's been some confusion. The Team Jacob was a RT-retweet from someone else., I am and always will be Team Edward. Sorry. I know, Nepotism

Thanks Peter. I needed a laugh today.

I can't believe that Michael Jackson is dead.

No matter what, he was always on the soundtrack of my life.

Rest in peace. If we do get to come back and do it all over again, I hope he comes back with whatever face he wanted to see when he looked in the mirror.

Thirty years ago today, on June 15, 1979, my parents were married.

Thirty years ago tonight, I was conceived and born nine months later on March 15, 1980.

While I wish I could scrub that knowledge out of my brain, I am grateful that they had a great honeymoon or else I wouldn't be here.

I love you, Mom and Dad. Thirty years of marriage is an incredible thing to witness first-hand.

Happy birthday to a very dear friend (who I don't talk to nearly enough), cincoflex.

I promise not to make a big fuss, but I just want you to know that I'm thinking about you today and I hope you have the best birthday possible, honey.
