I finally (FINALLY!) got around to doing to some work on ROUND 6 of AMV TKO. I'm still not even halfway done, but at least I'm finally getting somewhere with it. I even got around to doing some clips I've had on hold for a LONG time.

I have a feeling that my laziness towards doing more work (that and I'm having trouble coming up with good ideas I can pull off) might mean even more time between rounds... that is if I'm even able to find the inspiration to make it to a Round 7.

As a fan of Sakura Wars, this just might be the funniest thread on a message board I've ever read. You got to go through a lot of other people's posts (though, some of them are pretty funny, too), so try and stick to the posts by the guy called "Spirit Armor". And please keep in mind that only the lines he types in bold are the ones that are actually in the game.

Michael Jackson took part in some of my all time favorite performances, such as the "Smooth Criminal" segment in the Moonwalker movie and teaming up with my favorite athlete Michael Jordan in the music video "JAM". I never could learn how to truly do the moonwalk, but dammit we all tried at one point or another. Despite all his troubles, he was an amazing musician, but he also was much more than that. He was an inspiration in both music and charity. Many performers of today probably wouldn't be musicians if not for him.

And I'm not embarrassed to say that when I was a little kid in the early 80's, I dressed up as Zombie Michael Jackson (from Thriller) for Halloween. That's how much of a fan of his I was and still am.

People can't live forever, but music comes pretty close... and his music will.

I'll be walking in an overnight RELAY FOR LIFE walk at my old high school tomorrow. I took part in it last year and had a blast. Here's hoping tomorrow is just as much fun.

I'm still contemplating whether or not to go see Transformers 2. The first movie was good, but it left a sour taste in my mouth. I paid to see Transformers, not emo human teenagers trying to get laid.

As I've stated before, I'm a huge SAKURA WARS (Taisen) fan, and one of my favorite aspects of the series is it's music. I just happened to find out recently that the composer of the series, Kohei Tanaka, also composed the music to one of my favorite anime series, Angelic Layer. I just never bothered to look up who did the music before. And now that I've taken a good listen to the soundtrack to Angelic Layer, I can honestly now say that that music has Mr. Tanaka written all over it. No one knows how to use violins and trumpets like he does. Some of the battle tracks in the Angelic Layer soundtrack could easily be mistaken as Sakura Wars tracks, all the while still keeping it's own individuality.

Speaking of Sakura Wars... here is a great write up on the series, for those unfamiliar with it.

AMV TKO ROUND 6 is going slow... VERY slow. But it's still going.

If you are not listening to The Kidd Chris Show... WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH YOU?

MISSSSSSSSSSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYYYY ...KENNNEDY.

Got my 500th point on eBay and got my Purple Star. Didn't even have to take a bullet to get it.

Watched my 8 year old nephew play in a baseball game today. That kid's gonna go far in that sport.

I played through Sakura Wars V (JP) again over the past week and it just makes me that much more excited about the upcoming U.S. release of the game.

I am upset that it's not the original (not even the PS2 remake? Maybe if this release does well...) isn't the one being translated, but I'll take anything at this point. And Sakura Wars V is no slouch in the series, it actually ended up being one of my favorites. I sure hope that the PS2 Sakura Wars 1 and 3 ports get translated as well, but like I said, I'll take what I can get at this point.

SAKURA WARS : SO LONG, MY LOVE PRESS RELEASE.

P.S. I love you NISA.

This has been Justin Aaron and I'll never make a Twitter page. That's where I draw the line.

Felt it was as good a reason as any to get started on ROUND 6.

INDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED.

There's no guarantee that the company I work for went under, but it kind of sucks that I haven't heard anything yet and am just waiting for the news. But, then again, I guess it's true what they say... no news is good news. I really like my job and would hate to lose it, if only because I hate going through change and really don't feel like going through the hassle of getting a new job. Here's hoping for the best.

In other news...

* Got my 360 back and it works like a charm. Who says Microsoft doesn't help out their consumers?

* That Game 6 in Chicago against Boston was ridiculous. One of the best games I've ever watched.

* Been playing a bunch of anime related videogames lately to prepare myself for the next website project I hope to get to, that being an ANIME VIDEOGAME REVIEW site (link to the left). I decided instead of reviewing EVERYTHING in anime, I'd just focus on one medium in the genre. I might even do video reviews (gotta try not to rip off that Angry reviewer guy). Look for that soon.

* Speaking of my sites... I have a lot of AMV TKO Round 6 planned out, it's just a matter of getting motivated to work on it.

* Limp Bizkit is back bitches. Bring that beat back!

* The Harry Kalas Tribute was just beautiful, as well as heart-wrenching.

* Fittingly, I got my copy of the 2008 Phillies Playoff DVD Box set today. I could watch that Matt Stairs homerun all day.

* No more DANGEROUS GROUND. I just didn't feel like doing another fan site.

* Finally got around to making some new banners (above) for the site.

* FINALLY! Someone posted this commercial on YouTube. I've been looking for it for AGES.

* I don't think I ever commented on Julien-K's CD. One word : AWESOME. More words : Worth the wait.

* WWE is supposedly releasing another CD in the fall. Hopefully, Christian's new theme will be on there.

* I've really got to get to work on AMV TKO Round 6 soon, before I don't want to do it at all.

If there is any silver lining in this at all (and believe me, I had to look long and hard to find any good in this) it's that he died doing what he loved, in the broadcast booth before the game; and he went out as a champion with the Phillies winning last year's World Series. Believe me when I say that he had just as much to do with that championship as any player, manager, coach or fan.

Rest in peace, Harry... you've earned it. And you'll never be "...outtaaaa heeeeeeere..." in our hearts.







In less-sad news... I've been losing my mind not having my 360, but I just got an email saying that my 360's repairs are complete and the system is on it's way back to me. So I should have it back within the week (hopefully). I'm itching to play some SFIV and I also picked up Guitar Hero : Aerosmith the other day, so I have that to play as well. Come on UPS!
