Tanned Hide - The Reboot.

Coming down to the end of last year, I mentioned in a post that I was considering bringing the one and only blog award I ever made out of retirement. By this, I'm talking about the Tanned Hide award, of course.

A few people seemed to think it was a good idea and since I'm a man of the people (and because I was probably going to do it anyway), I'll give the people what they want... and apparently, what they want has something to do with spankings.

I'm not one to judge.

Anyway, in its previous state, the Tanned Hide was a lazy man's award in that you had to do nothing once you received it. All you had to do was hang it on your wall and think of what explanation to give to your friends when they ask about it. This time, however, there are going to be one or two rules to make things more interesting. Plus, I made some slight changes to it:

Doesn't really look much different from the original, to be honest.

Now for those rules. Don't worry! You won't have to share any embarrassing secrets, send me money or spam the award to 10,000 of your friends.

Well... If you did feel inclined to send a few bucks my way, who am I to say no?

Kidding! All you have to do is say who you think deserves to be put over a knee and given some well deserved positive punishment. I know what you're thinking and, no, I do not mean you'd want to see them spanked in a kinky way. If you receive the Tanned Hide Award you must tell a story about someone (there is no need to name names, if you don't want to) who has done something to piss you off to such an extent that that someone is obviously beyond having their toys taken away and being made to sit in a corner until they've had time to think about what they've done.

This applies to any person, or even a group of persons, you may or may not know personally. That person can be a celebrity, a coworker, some idiot you randomly come across who managed to take up two parking spaces with a Mini Cooper, a foreign dictator, historical figure or someone like that. I'm giving you a whole heap of choices to go with.

Since I know how many feel about spankings when it comes to children, I'll make this an adults-only thing. Look at it this way, if you see some kid acting up and is obviously in need of some discipline, do like I did the first time I used The Tanned Hide and hold the parent(s) to account.

I suspect with the mention of the words "spankings", "kinky" and now "adults-only" this post is going to get a lot of hits for all the wrong reasons...

Anyway, the second and last rule is easy enough. All you have to do is send me money pass this award along to up to three bloggers you may deem worthy. Note I said up to three bloggers. So one or two is fine. Just notify the new recipient and tell 'em Vinny sent you (so they'll know who to blame).

That's it! No hassle, no stress.

Now for the recipients. The following blogs are the first to receive the new and improved (not so much) Tanned Hide:

- My Half Assed Life

- The Transformed Non-Conformist

- My Own Private Idaho

Congratulations! Come get your prize!

I chose these three because, not only do I find them deserving, but because I'm interested to see who they'd want to slap some sense into if given the chance. Also, I chose them because, basically, I'm the boss around here and I can do what I want. Don't feel sad if I missed you this time. I'll share some more spankings in the near future.

If I Ruled The World (Imagine That).

Say what you will, the world's a pretty messed up place. Don't ask me why but everything just seems really screwed up as far as this planet goes.

Why? If you ask me, one of the main reasons is that the wrong people are in charge. Seriously! How did we end up putting some of these jokers at the helm? It's obvious the lunatics are running the asylum and they've locked all us sane people up in the cells. And there seems to be nothing we can do about it.

Until now.

All that's about about to change for, BEHOLD, I have been bequeathed yon Overlord Award!

This honor hath been bestowed upon me by Shirley of Shirley Ewe Must Be Joking. A fine lass indeed who doth weildeth a mighty blog and doth attacketh with her razor-sharp humor and wit. She also doth apparently longeth to one day defecate rare and precious gems. Indeed. A worthy aspiration if ever there was. Follow the link and be awed by her sheer awesomeness.


Okay, I'll stop now.

Yeah, so I think I was saying somewhere in that mess that I won me an award. This award means that, basically, I rule. I am overlord! Commander of all I survey. Bow down before, mere mortals!

Bwahahahahaha!!!

This award also comes with rules. Wait! I've just been crowned overlord and I have to follow rules? Well, okay then. But only because it pleases me to do so.

Bwaha... ha?

Now, most of the time when an award asks for me to list something, I sit and agonize for days (sometimes weeks) trying to come up with the right respnoses. However, for this one, it just so happens that I already have them prepared.

*takes stack of post-its out of back pocket*

What? Doesn't everyone keep a "If I ruled the world one day" to-do list with them? You should.

Unfortunately, I can only list three things so I'll give you my top three:

- All of the negative propaganda about coffee ends now. Enough is enough, people! Know that this may or may not involve nay-sayers ending up in the middle of town in stocks, Dark-Ages-style.

- My war with my unyielding foe, the Grackle, will finally be at an end as I defeat the vicious birds. Fear not though, for I will not destroy the creatures. Instead, I will subjugate them and use their skills. They will become my personal army. Put your assets to their best use, I always say.

I live to serve, master.

- As Overlord of the world I would require a base of command to rule from. For this I choose the country of Japan. Though much of the world shall be changed as my Grackle army raids the lands and peck the heads of my enemies, I shall leave the people and culture of Japan untouched, for they perfect. It is from there that I shall rule as ninja cat-girls serve me sake.

Also, as Overlord I am also expected to bestow this honor upon others. I'm not sure why I'd be expected to share my power. The only reason I can think of is that I will need to have worthy rivals to battle against so I can keep my skills honed. Either that or I'll need other overlords to send friend requests to.

I hear it's lonely at the top.

The following I have chosen definitely are deserving of that honor. Mostly because they already rule.

Thank Q
Cynicism 101
My Own Private Idaho
Pickleope
Sex Sequins & Sociopaths

With that my position as overlord had been cemented. I'm off to look at some Japanese real estate. They say Tokyo's nice this time of year.

Just Where Have You Been This Week? - Getting Organized.

It's a national holiday here in T&T today. Republic Day which, as the name suggests, celebrates the country becoming a republic way back when. If you ask me, there should be some kind of rule against allowing holidays to be on a Saturday. Except for the few who actually work on a Saturday, who really benefits, right?

Not that is actually affects me either way since I'm still sans job. I've been kinda quite this week, I know. I guess sometimes it's hard not to let the whole unemployment thing bug me. But let's face it, that's not why you're here so I'm not going to whine about it (much). I've still done a thing or two, all the same. 

Let's start with what I've been up to here on my blog:

- As some of you already know, I've designed an early warning system of sorts for my blog in the from of crudely drawn stick toon graphics. This I posted about on Tuesday.

- On Wednesday I passed out an award one of my homies, Paul, gave me. There were actually two awards, but I was feeling lazy and linked a previous post where I had already received the second one.

What?

Meanwhile, on Sprocket Ink:

- On Tuesday, I wrote about a group of fed up housewives using what could be the ultimate weapon of mass distraction to finally bring an end to war on their island. Those guys didn't stand a chance.

- Thursday we looked at one country's ingenious method for preventing the zombie apocalypse. This could really be the answer. Now, if we can only learn from their one misguided error.

And that's it. That's my week in a nutshell. Feel free to click on any one of the numerous links above to catch up on anything you may have missed. I think I'm going to take this weekend to get myself in perspective and over the sucky mood I'm in.

See ya!

This Award Takes Me Back.

My good buddy, Paul from "I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference" was kind enough to pass on some awards to lil' ol' me. If you're not familiar with his blog you should really go check him out. He's a great writer and, right now, he's in the process of giving his readers a page-by-page taste of an adventure story he's working on and I've been hooked from the get-go.

As for my awards, first he gave me this:

Thanks, dude! It's going right up on my wall.

The rules for this award go like this:

I go back over my previous posts and pick out the 7 that made their mark in the following categories:

Most Beautiful:

When Vinny Met The Diva. - The post talking about where I first met Mrs. C.

Most Helpful:

The Wonderful World Of Blogging. - Basically, my guide on the personal changes experienced  by new bloggers (or, at least, this blogger).

Most Controversial:

Some People Need Feel In Order To Learn.  - I'm not very controversial but pretty sure I lost a follower over this one. But my follower list is a constant roller coaster ride so I'm not even sure.

Most Surprisingly Successful:

So... Apparently People Want To See Me Naked. - Just so you know, there's no nudity involved in this post. I totally phoned in this post to talk about the crazy-high stats on the previous post (no nudity there either) and this one went and outdid it.

Most Underrated:

Living With A Ninja. - It was done during Thanksgiving weekend last year and went virtually unnoticed.

Most Prideworthy:

An Analytical Look Into Social Interaction. - This is the post that gave birth to my stick drawing and another one of my all-time favorites.

Now comes the hard part.  I have pick out 7 others to receive this award. How do I just pick seven of you? Can't I just give it to everyone?


No?


It took some careful deliberating but I was finally able to make my picks. The lucky winners (in order of how I ended up typing them) are:


1. Nikki of My Cyber House Rules
2. Sugar Free of Sugar Free Thoughts
3. Al Penwasser Penwasser Place
4. Lost.in.Idaho of My Own Private Idaho
5. Nicole of Ninja Mom
6. ib of Habitual Hobbit
7. Copyboy of Not Worth Mentioning

The second award I got was this:

Thanks again, Paul. Since I did get this one before, I'm going to be lazy and redirect you to the  post here where I already followed the rules for this one.


There you go. All done.

Just Where Have You Been This Week..? I Mean Last Week! Whatever!

I know! I know! I'm posting this late... AGAIN! What can I say? It was one of those weekends. But better late than never. Right? Actually, It was one of those weeks. There have been a lot of things going on over here on my end.


Due to out-of-control crimerate lately, a state of emergency was called the week before last. Now there's a curfew in a few areas of the country (including where I live). Everyone's trying to adjust to it and we just found out today that it's being extended to the end of the year but with the curfew slightly relaxed.


Good times...


Then, last week, there were two national holidays smack dab (I never got what that meant exactly) in the middle of the week. First, in Wednesday, was Independence Day, then Thursday was the Muslim celebrated/everybody's day off religious holiday, Eid-Ul-Fitr.


All of that had my week a bit disheveled. But enough with the excuses! It's time to wrap up last week:

- Last week, my week started on Tuesday with a story on Sprocket Ink about bickering robots. Since machines were involved HAL 9000 decided to drop by here again. He's been more or less out of work since the 70's so I think he's gunning for a permanent job.

- On Wednesday I joined Ninja Mom's Character Assassination Carousel where I gave my take on a the Br'er Rabbit Stories. It involves a clandestine late-night meeting, a vengeful murder plot, and a traumatized cow. What more could you ask for?

- On Thursday I posted on Sprocket again. This time it involved a really crappy mom who was caught in action on video.

- Then I was back on Sprocket Again on Friday to give my perspective on the necessity on Domino's Japan's plan for a restaurant on the moon. In a nutshell: HELL YEAH!!!

So that was my week. All of the chaos means that I haven't been keeping up with what you guys have been up to. I guess I have to do some catching-up to do.

In other news: ib from Habitual Hobbit has graciously bestowed an award upon me:

AWESOME! Thanks again, ib. Of course, What's a blog award without some rules to it? The rules for this one are pretty simple:

The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers, all in the spirit of fostering new connections. 

1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them. - DONE.

2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog. - AND THEY ARE:

- j. littlejohn at An Open Letter To

- Pickleope at-well- Pickleope

- Yvonne at Attracted To Shiny Things

- IWASNTBLOGGEDYESTERDAY at IWASNTBLOGGEDYESTERDAY
I'LL GET TO THE NOTIFICATION PART TOMORROW.

3. Post the award on your blog. - See THE WALL

4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the internet—other writers. - That's where you all come in. Always room for more of that.

5. And best of all – have fun and spread the karma. - DONE & DOING

Okay. I'm done. Really Those of you celebrating Labor Day today, enjoy. I'll see you again tomorrow for my post on Sprocket.

Just Where Have You Been This Week? - Keeping Myself Busy.

Another week over, another weekly wrap up. Lets jump right in, shall we?

Before I get started, I'd like to say a special thanks to the wonderful Vicki from Glitter Frog for my second Tuesday Toss-Up commenter award:

For those of you who don't know, she gives these out once a week to the best commenter on her TTU posts. Want one? Got what it takes? Go flex your commenting muscles and one of these could yours too. Trust me, it looks really nice on the wall.

I've been busy this week on the blogging front as well:

- On Tuesday I mused at a possible career path for myself.

- I tried to play philosopher on Wednesday.

- On Thursday I was taken aback by the discovery of yet another crime of fashion. I'll caution you before you enter this one. It's not pretty.

- Friday... Well, to be honest, I'm not sure what the hell happened on Friday. But it involved Lacy & Diane (Where you got to see a side of Diane you've never seen before) for those of you that are interested.

Of course, we can't forget my weekly posts over at Sprocket Ink on Tuesday and Thursday.

First, on Tuesday I did an ad for a new vacation concept. I think it could really take off.

On Thursday I put in a little overtime & posted both the breaking news of a pervy politician's resignation and then I shared about one guys attempt at a do it yourself medical procedure.

You don't want to miss out on any of those, believe me.

And that, as they say, is a wrap. Tune in next week for more. I won't guarantee it'll be something sane but it'll be something.

Later.

This Will NOT Be The Blog Where Awards Go To Die!!!

I've got some unfinished business to take care of and I refuse to put it off any longer. Seems I've been a bad blogger these days when it comes to awards. But I intend to fix that right now.

Last week my bloggin' buddy Antares Cryptos, passed these my way:

The "I Count On You" blog award -

This one's a re-gift but that's cool. Means I can just add a link to where I followed the rules before. Like this. And, in turn I forward it to Heather (aka Sugar Free) of Sugar Free Thoughts.

Next is the "Cherry On Top" award -

Then, he gave me his custom made "I'm A Great Commenter" award -

For now, I'll pass it forward to another great commenter, pattypunker.

********

Also, Vicki from Glitter Frog served me up my second helping of the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award:

There are rules to this one which I followed here. 

See how easy that was? And I've been putting that off since March. The shame...

This, I give to Nikki Rules from my cyber house rules because, when you're talking irresistible, you got to be talking about her.

Now I know I don't have to tell you guys how great these two are. But, on the off chance you don't already know them, feel free to go check 'em out. Trust me, I've never steered you wrong.

Only A Little Bit Overdue

First things first. I'm an MVP!

See? Peachy says so. Who needs to be all big and athletic? I earned this baby without using any performance enhancing drugs (No, coffee doesn't count), or getting any painful injuries (I've avoided carpal tunnel so far) or being super rich...or having schools and sneakers and stuff named after me...

Where was I? Oh yeah! In your face various sporting institutions! Booyah!!! (*does ridiculous looking victory dance, pours cooler of Gatorade on Mrs. C, sleeps on couch tonight*)


Now, I know there are no tasks involved like linking back but I'm gonna anyway (I'm such a rebel. Sometimes I scare myself). Check out both ThePeachy1's blogs: Being Peachy and The Pits of Being Peachy because she's awesome and wicked funny.


Thanks Peachy!

********

Next on the agenda: A while ago I said something to someone. My words were: "We're starting a petition to get the authorities to have you set-up a blog so you can get some of these too. We've almost got all the signatures." The "these" I was referring to were blog awards and, with the petition filled, the constant peer pressure and even the help of magical fairy chants, by gum, the blog was born. With such big talk, I'd be remiss if I failed to live up to my end.

This blogger, though the blog itself is brand new, has been making me laugh with an unending flurry of witty comments on other blogs I follow. I was honored when those witty remarks started showing up on my blog as well. His blog itself is already off to a great start stimulating some great diablogues (a wordfuse courtesy of dbs from think.stew).

So now, without further ado, Antares Cryptos! COME ON DOWN!!! You're next proud recipient of:

Created by Nikki of my cyber house rules this award is bestowed upon commenters (It's about time blogger added this word to their dictionary, don't you think?) who's comments make you laugh, fall out of your chair, spit coffee onto your computer screen or accidentally almost drown yourself in it from the funny and witty comments they leave on your posts. AC is one of those commenters. Even before he started his blog he has been leaving some of the funniest comments I've seen. Now that he's got his blog started so it's only he be awarded for all the laughter he's brought


This award does some rules but they're pretty easy as awards go (Since he's just out the gate I'll go easy). In Nikki's own words: "If you accept the award, please thank me (the person who gave it to); please re-gift it and offer it to those who make you laugh on your blog and answer this simple question: do your witty answers pop instantly in your head when you read the post with an immediate urge to hit the comment button or do you have to sit and ponder?"


See? Easy. So, AC, come claim your first, and by no means last, blog award. You've earned it. As for me, I'm going to go ice my wrists.

Feelin' The Love

Whoa! What the..? I know I've hardly been on the web this week but... how did this happen? When I started writing a post to properly thank Nenette from life candy for passing me this award:

For which the rules for accepting this award are:
1. Thank & Link back to the person who awarded you this.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pay it forward to 5 recently discovered great bloggers.
4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about their award.

Then I found that I also received it from paulsifer42 from I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference who also gave me this:

The rules for accepting this award are:
1) Thank and link back to the person who honored you with this award.
2) Share 7 things about yourself.
3) Award 15 recently discovered bloggers (Fif- FIFTEEN!?! Well... I-um...)
4) Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

Then, the next thing I know, I also get this baby as well from Absolutely Primed from Over Developed, Under Exposed and from Semi True Torystellar from Can U Relate?

The rules for accepting this award are:

1. Link to the person who gave you this award (in a post, or in your sidebar, wherever you have this).
2. Pass the award along to seven other people who post about at least slightly amusing things and tell them (by emailing them or commenting on a post, etc.).
3. Say seven things about yourself that no one knows (or at least you think no one knows).
4. Pass these rules on.

WOW! You guys are really spreading the love! Thanks to you all.

These bloggers are really good so, if the rest of you guys aren't checking out any of these blogs yet, you better! Don't you make me come over there.

Now, as you can see, most of the rules for these awards are basically the same so I should be able to fit it all into one post.

First – thank & link back to the person who awarded you this: Check!

********

Next, it's confession time. All of the awards ask for for me to share seven things about myself:

Here are 7 things I hate (not really) about me:

1) I.hate.driving. There! I said it. For no other reason than it requires you to be focused for the entire point A to point B trip. When do you get time to nap or play games on your cell phone? I've seen people try to combine these with driving and results are never good. Trust me. Because of this, not only do I not own a car, I also have successfully managed to get to this point without actually getting my license yet. Don't get me wrong, I've taken classes and I know the basics. It's just some kind of weird commitment issue, I guess. Sadly I see it, more and more, becoming a necessary evil. As a result, I have decided to get it this year.

2) I mentioned here and there that I once took Thai-Boxing but what I never mentioned is that I also trained competitively in my secondary school swim team. I wasn't the fastest but I was okay. I don't know if I could have won anything. The whole thing fizzled out when a lot of the guys lost interest and the team was reduced to me and one other guy.

3) I'm Batman Once, as a child, I almost drowned. I was just learning to swim and developed a fear of the water due to that incident. Eventually, I got tired of the whole phobia thing and went on to the swim-team thing mentioned earlier. I'm still very cautious when it comes to the ocean, though. I don't trust that mo-fo one bit.

4) I've always been naturally flexible. For as long as I can remember. I can even do a split. You know, like that French martial arts dude. What was his name again... Depardieu?

FEAR MY ELITE MS PAINT SKILLZ!!!

5) It irritates my wife how basic when it comes to how I dress. I've never been into getting the latest "gear". A comfortable pair of jeans, a good, strong pair of boots and a t-shirt suits me for most occasions.

6) I ran out of things to say from number 3 and have been making shit up. Kidding! I love pasta. Loved it since I was a kid and have never grown tired of it (Might explain the weight thing).

7) I can actually cook. Growing up, Big Momma C showed me how. She said no woman was ever going to have her firstborn and only son at a disadvantage in that respect. I used to pretend I was useless in the kitchen because I'm lazy my wife is much better at it than I am. Eventually, she saw through it, though. So now, most meals we prepare together. I suppose there isn't anything you can teach your son that can make a man able to not be a slave to the female vagina (Not that I'd ever want to take that class. That would have been just all kinds of wrong... ewe!).

********

Finally, the last set of rules ask me to pass the love on and notify the lucky recipients. Thing is, you guys have been working overtime in the blog love dep't. Seems like everyone's got one or more of these already. Serves me right for being so busy IRL. So, while the rules say seven and fifteen, I'm gonna go with five. Sorry.

I have been expanding my blog reading portfolio and these are some of the most recent ones I've gotten into (even though some of them mightn't have known it).

So, in no particular order I present these awards, in no particular order, to:

Georgiana Dollface
Oilfield Trash
Kev D

Vicki

A Little Sprite

I've been really trying to keep up but, in case some of you may have already some of these, please please don't feel obligated to go over the same acceptance rituals you may have already been through before.

Once again, thanks for sharing the love.

Blog Luvin' & Shameless Pluggin'

Whew! It's been a busy past two weeks. First. was the surprise (possible) house purchase (more on that when I have any news). Then that whole battle with the head cold from hell (I'm not a zombie so I guess I won). Also, school's back in and, in a totally out-of-character move, I managed to post almost every day this week. I've also just managed to pass the fifty follower mark *waves “hi” to new homies* Sweet!!! You guys are awesome!

But this is a bit overdue. I won't go a step further without saying thanks to some kind people who shared some blog love with me recently.

First, I got this baby here from Vicki over at Glitter Frog for winning her weekly Tuesday Toss-Up caption contest:

Want one? Go on over and and be snarky. You just may be next.

This next one comes from both, it's creator, Miss Nikki at my cyber house rules and Nari at narislife. This award is also given out to witty commenters.

These three are really great bloggers themselves and you should totally check them out if you haven't yet. You won't be disappointed. Trust me.


The second award comes with the condition that I answer one question. I'll get to that in a bit...

Hmmm... Two awards, from three separate bloggers, given to me for my snarky commenting abilities. You'd think, say, if there was, maybe, oh, I don't know, some kinda vote going on right now for that sorta thing that I'd have a chance, huh?

Oh, by the way, in a totally unrelated topic, Studio 30+ is having their Boomerang Awards and I seem to have been nominated for a few categories, including:

"Newbie Award", "Best Male Blog", "Funniest Blogger", and "Snarkiest Commenter".

Funny that...

Now, as I said before, the second award required me to answer one question. That question is:

“Do your witty answers pop instantly in your head when you read the post with an immediate urge to hit the comment button or do you have to sit and ponder?”

In answer to this I have to say, a bit of both. Most of the time, my comments are spontaneous. They generally pop in as I read. Other times, but not as often, I may not comment right away. It may be due to distraction or lack of focus, sleep, coffee, whatever. Then there are times my OCD will kick in and I'll want to make sure the comment is just right. This may involve one or a combination of: googling, spell checking, finding proper reference sources and citations, spinning in my chair for several minutes, placing elbows on desk while I clasp my hands pensively over my mouth in a manner denoting intense concentration, etc.

Unfortunately, I don't proof read after. That always slips me. Sorry, never been my strong suit. This will unavoidably lead to the occasional “comment fail”.

There! That deals with the Q&A segment of this post. Now, if you're a member of Studio 30+, I hope you've voted for me already. If you aren't a member and you're thirty and over, I suggest you quit yer lollygagging (yes, "lollygagging". Sorry for such coarse language) and join. And then vote.

And You Thought I Was Irresistible

Well 2011's here and now we all have to get used to not screwing up the date on forms. I've been kinda out of it for the past few days. Made the mistake of doing some retrospective on my life with the new year and got a little depressed. But I dealt with it and I'm back.

When we last left off I was showing off my new awards. Now if you don't already follow dbs and Semi True Toristellar then WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! They're way better than I am. Go see for yourself. Don't worry. I'll be here when you get back.

Back? Alright! So, as was saying, they both gave me some cool awards and, while I've already said "thank you" real nice-like, Tori's comes with rules [insert gender biased joke here].

That's this one:

According to Mynx, the creator of this award, it seems I have to share five guilty pleasures. But before I get into it I'll pass this award on to Nari of narislife. Her's is one of the blogs that definitely keeps me going back for more.

Well now that the foreplay's over with I'll get right into it (twss).

Here we go.

The first is junk food (much to Mrs. C's chagrin). From burgers to fries to pizza to... Great! Now I'm drooling...

The second is no surprise. I've made my love for the magic bean (aka: coffee) well known.

Next is also no surprise: gaming - Sure people roll their eyes and make exasperated sighs when they hear this but it's my hobby... *hugs controller* and I love it.

Okay let's get one thing clear right now. I'm a geek. My major is IT, I watch and read sci-fi, I look forward to some of the superhero flicks coming out and I'm a gamer and this brings up number 3 on my list: Japanese anime (pleasedon'tunfollowme!)

This leads to the last, which is both a guilty pleasure and a secret shame all in one. If you watch enough anime you can't help but notice all that theme music they play called J-Pop which, unfortunately, I've... kinda... gotten... a little... addicted to (PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEDON'TUNFOLLOWME!!!)

There you have it... You know where to leave the hate mail. I'm going to go in a dark corner with a bucket of chicken & my MP3 player (you can guess what's on the playlist).
