Photography

Being that I am aspiring photographer, I might as well post some of my work. Only one of these images has been cropped, the others have NOT been altered whatsoever, save for resizing. I took these images myself, so once again, do not be an ass and take my work and call it your own.

High and Mighty color - Hot Limit (PV)

Hey all, I don't usually talk about music and PV's here, but hey, this vid is too awesome to ignore. I've been following High and Mighty Color, pretty much since they started out with "Pride". Also being a big TM Revolution/Abingdon Boys School fan, I had to post this. their new PV Hot limit is a cover of a song by TM Revolution, and the music video also bears striking similarities. Hell, TM Revolution even makes a cameo on this vid! Anyhoo, enough of me, on to the VID.

more photoshop nonsense

Once again, more photoshope nonsense. Nothing spectacular, just some stuff I had been working on for fun. Again, don't be an ass and take my stuff:

Photoshop shenanigans

Well, just wanted to post one of my endeavors on photoshop. The Image of the Strike-Freedom is from the web, namely from a site called wonderexcellence.com. Please, don't be an ass and take my work and say its yours.

My Luke V2 Lightsaber

After that last post, I feel that I must post something constructive, and so here we go: This is my LUke ROTJ v2 Lightsaber.

Long story short, this saber was the stunt versions used in return of the Jedi. I honestly prefer this version as Luke was seen with this saber more times than with the Hero version .You can check out the full scoop on this version at Parts to Star Wars

While it is not a perfect replica of the v2, im still very happy with it Anyhow, I got the parts i needed for this saber form various sources, the main body came form e-bay. The seller custom machined the saber for me, and it was surprisingly cheap, around $67. The threaded bar I needed to put the thing together was bought at a local hardware store, the clamp came from a member of the FX-sabers.com forums, and yes it is a REAL graflex clamp, the knurled Cone and circuit board came from a member of the replica prop forum

Those who hate anime

Hey all! I know, i know, i havent posted anything since last december, and if any of you wish to throw tomatoes at me for that, then feel free...as a matter of fact, I think i deserve it hehehe. Anyhoo, I finished with my homework early, and wandered about on the internet, low and behold, i find a post on Danny Choo's site about anime haters, which inspired this post.
Simply put, I'm an Otaku....people call us Otaku nerds, immature, stupid, etc, but hey, lets compare states here, i graduated 9th in my class in high school with an International Baccalaureate diploma, by no means a small scholastic achievement. I currently go to school at cal-poly pomona with a 3.56 GPA, am holding a steady job that pays for my car, gas, insurance, and daily living expenses, not to mention holding a steady relationship with a wonderful woman (yes she is real). While these do not sum me up as a person, I'm not one to brag but with these facts in mind, I don't believe that being an Otaku makes me stupid and immature.
Lets examine Danny Choo for a bit, Otaku: yes, business owner; HELL YEAH. How's that for stupid and immature? Now lets examine these anime haters who post vids on youtube and host anime hating petitions, can any of them make such a boast? I belive one would be hard pressed to find an anime hater who is successful in the professional world on one of these sites..why? Simply because intelligent folk who do not like anime and live meaningfull/successful lives have better things to do than spam Otaku (hence the lack of intelligent arguments against anime/Otaku).
While this post may seem a spite against anime-haters, its not. I have no ill feelings against people who do not like anime. My beef is against those self Righteous mooks who feel that they are better simply on account that they have a different opinion from others (i.e. I'm "normal, hence I'm better than those nerds/freaks over there).

Demons!

I watched "The Golden Compass" recently, and so here is my demon just in case any of your were curious...while the one i was given isnt all that bad (considering someone i know got a spider....and hates is...self loathing hell i dont knoe), i would have like to get a platypus or perhaps a manitee...or a turltle...yeah anyhoo:
