Figured I might as well post my new years resolutions. Hope I can hold to them. :P I hope that everyone is having a good new year and happy times.

6) Work on my depression.
5) Be more social.
4) Do well in school.
3) Get in shape.
2) Eat better.
1) Spend less time on the computer.

I always seem to have the hardest time choosing the best ending themes. While the anime field seems consistent in producing great openings to catch viewers interests, they seem to not put forth as much effort (in general) on the ending sequences. I managed to group together my favorites of the year here; but honestly had a little trouble finding 10 that I loved. :P I hope that you will like and enjoy nevertheless!

Just decided to post a few of my favorite anime openings and closing of the year; as something fun to do. :P Hope you enjoy!

Happy 2010 To All My Friends!

New layout for your enjoyment. Sort of skinny but 'tis the best I could do. Hope everyone's New Year rocks!

So; my journal is back up. I had a long discussion with mizuki_hana2 about many things and decided that I've invested too much time and effort into my journal to just get rid of it because I was angry. However, there was something that disturbed me. Mizuki basically said that I don't use my Live Journal correctly and would never understand because I don't vent about things and use it to blow off my anger. Is is wrong to want the just share the happy times and fun things with my friends and not burden them with my problems? Am I using LJ wrong? I think, personally, that it's a matter of opinion. However, it still hurt and made me wonder. I'm not in some alternate mindset where I think everything is sunshine and rainbows. Anyone who has read my Journal over the past 5 years has seen that. I get depressed and don't write for periods because, again, I don't want to just post negative things and feed into my depression. I can totally understand if a person has a problem and needs some advice. It would definitely turn to my LJ friends at a time like like that; as I am now. But I just can't see posting day after day after day of anger and issues. I would say about 97% of my friends don't do that. Sometimes yes; but more often then not they post updates on their life and what is going on with their families or pictures or anime news for fun. So am I using my LJ wrong? I would just like to hear what people have to say, your opinions on the matter. Anything goes and I will understand and respect anyone who says that I am indeed using LJ wrong... Many thanks guys.

"Yay, the decade's over!  We can start over with a new one!  Woohoo!!!"

*takes out pin and bursts bubble*

NO it didn't.

Our current calender is based on the old system of numbering the years of a king's reign — in this case the King of All.(1)  That's why the are is called anno Dominii, year of Our Lord.  Year 1 is the first year of his reign, counted from when he assumed the throne.  Church edict says that year was the year of his birth.(2)

Thus the first decade are years 1–10.
The first century 1–100.
The first millennium 1–1000.

It follows then that this most recent decade started with 2001 a.D. and ends with 2010 a.D.  It ain't over 'til it's over.

1. For those of you about to flame me, know this: I'm not Christian either, but I am a history buff.  Just bear with me, here.
2. Yes, Jesus was born in the Spring "[W]hen the Shepherds were out among Their Flocks."  Again, Church edict.  Can't have those Pagans whooping it up during the Solstice, can't we?

It snowed last night.  Pure, white snow.  The soft kind; the sort of snow perfect for catching snowflakes.  The kids and I had much fun.

I wanted to compose a poem; something in Quenya.  Alas, I'm no Ñoldo.  *pouts*  Ah well.  Afautië nai fautuva.

Last Xmas, Nene gave me — well the whole family, really — Rock Band.  I've since rocked out on the guitar and, more recently, the drums.  Since then she bought me/us Rock Band: Classic Tracks, and for this Xmas, Rock Band 2.

I am teh happy.  (And doing pretty damn well, to boot!)

I wasn't gonna watch it.

I didn't want to.  I wasn't interested in some stupid Xmas season action flick designed to separate fools from their well-earned cash.

And then I saw the trailer.

Granted, it'll prolly look dated in five years.  But I can deal with that.  Enviro-fic is a topic I can appreciate.  After all, who does love The Lorax?

Because you too can cook up a good break beat!
