Anime Music: Fullmetal Alchemist

So I was sitting here, wondering what I could do and then it hit me! I could post some music videos! And it so happens that I was watching the vid for Asian Kung-Fu Generation's video for their song Rewrite, used as the last opening theme for Fullmetal Alchemist. Good, good stuff in my humble opinion.

Now that got me thinking "hey, I can get the codes for these things on YouTube! Hell, I could even post it on my spiffy little blog too!"

Heh, I typed spiffy...

Anyway...

Besides the 4th opening song, I also have the videos for Motherland by Crystal Kay (actual video) as well as the opening vid (Song titled "Link") for FMA: The Conquerer of Shamballa. I enjoyed the movie, I mean it is cool to see both the Elric brothers in action and all, but why couldn't Ed end up with Winry? I mean he did spend the majority of the series just walking away from her. Couldn't he have stopped this time and actually go for it?? Alas, the hopeless romantic does not prevail at the end of this one...

And anyhow, videos, here, enjoy. I'll be back to posting my normal zing eventually. Actually, I think I'll post again tonight and get that out here. But then that would require more effort on my part and I have to be up early (again) for work tomorrow. Then Sunday is going to be a bitch, I strongly dislike company parties, especially ones hosted by the particular company I am employed with right now.

I mean, who wants to win expired food as prizes?? I'd like to know whose awesome idea that one was! Well, maybe I don't. It'd be better if I just didn't, I mean the less I know the better right? Riiight... I will claim absolute ignorance on the matter and simply hang my tongue out and allow a dribble or two of saliva escape.

Now that, dear reader, is a good start on scaring co-workers. Add in a zombie-like 'ahhhhhhhhh!" and a limp-foot drag to the mix and you will definitely have people talking about you. But if that doesn't work, then damn! What kind of place are you working at anyway!?

Days Until Next Day Off: 5

Don't be alarmed, I am merely expressing my increasingly noticeable deterioration of my goddamn brain. I can't wait for next Thursday! Day off, come quickly!

Half Way Through 2007...

I am amazed how quickly time is moving, I mean at one moment it was 2006 and now here we are, midway through '07. Where does all that time go? I still cannot imagine what the feeling would be like to one day look back at these times.

What would I think? How would I feel? Happy? Sad? Regretful? Fulfilled?

I do at least hope to be in a better situation, as far as a job and hopefully even education, is concerned. While I enjoy (in a sick, sick way I suppose) the job that I have now (stock clerk... yay...), I do not want to be like some and still be doing the same thing years and years from now.

My hope is that these days are necessary in order to reach something greater. I'd like to think that there is more in life meant for me then just being at the bottom. Then again, I do know that it takes a deal of work and effort to attain more and that is a commitment that I have not truly embraced.

So yes, I do understand that any real complaints that I may make about my "situation" is more or less of my own making. I am not ignorant to that fact, I suppose maybe I truly am as lazy as I think I can be.

But this issue, while entirely vital, will have to wait in the shadows. In time I may gain the will to seek it out and embrace it. If not, then I suppose the one and only person I can blame for any further hardships would definately be myself.

Jumping subjects now, because this life stuff really bugs me if I sit and think about for too long, is to music. Rather, J-Pop I guess...

I am happy to say that I finally found Sowelu's music video for her (pictured above) song "I Will." It is the same one that was used as ending music to the anime series "Fullmetal Alchemist." Good song, great video.

Random thought: Always a very disturbing thing to notice someone pissing outside of your window. I swear, the "class" that some human beings are blessed with is utterly amazing. That, ladies and gents, is as best as I can put it without having to break out into a rant.

Random Thought 2: Diet Coke Plus is good! I don't know what it is, but is addictive!

So anyway, I am considering on making one final go at Final Fantasy XI. Yes, I do believe I said that last time would be it, but it was a fluke. Or was it? Still, I think I might have one last go in me and I would like to leave that game behind with better memories then I have now. At this point though, only time will tell.

And I am clear out of thoughts, so I will bid this entry adieu. Is it even possible for a person to run out of thoughts...?

Thoughts of Various Degrees, Shapes and Colors!

I would have wrote sooner, but my internet browser decided it was the right and proper time to crash. Needless to say, the entire post went bye-bye and I needed a day or two to regroup my thoughts and refocus.

So here we go again.

I did get to finish off .hack//G.U. Volume 2 and now begins the waiting period until the third and final part of this trilogy is released here in the States.

What was so torturous was having to see the case for the Japanese version sitting at a local game store. How I wish I could read and understand Japanese!

Pictured to the left here is Haseo's final (and apparently unique) form. Looks fairly awesome to me and it certainly is a change from seeing the character always in black clothes, armor.

Another thing that has me hyped for Volume 3 is the return of Shino and Tabby (Shino was put into a coma during the .hack//Roots series and I believe Tabby left during that show too. Both of whom were guild mates with Haseo and Ovan, the reason why Shino was comatose.) to the game, plus the ability to make use of Kite, Orca and the third guy whose name eludes me at the moment.

Oh and joyous of joys, I finally was able to download the music video for Sowelu's "I Will" which was used as one of the ending theme songs for Fullmetal Alchemist. I am a dork yes, but we established that a while ago huh?

Jumping subjects again, I am glad I rented Wrestlemania 23 and did not buy the DVD. I don't know, maybe it is me just 'outgrowing' it, but the matches seemed pretty dull to me. I think the show stealer of the night was the Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena match, which was fairly well paced and it was a back and forth battle up until the bitter end.

Life is the same, can't complain about it although the weather here in Hawaii has been hotter then usual (humid... yuck) and now it rains. Still waiting for that snow storm! >.>

Anyway, that is it and that is all for today. Kind of short and sweet huh? The way it should always be! Well, depending on the situation and what not... but still...

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, this weekend! Can't wait!

Oh and Shrek The Third: Not as funny as the previous two. No joke! No, it isn't my tender old age showing... I will not be bound to a walker! I will run and skip if need be, even if it breaks both hips and leaves me hunched over! I will never be old!!

Dorking out.
