Yeah. All I need is the vest, which is being made as we speak.
The rest I have, ready for AnimeBoston 07 in April.
And since we are on the subject of cosplay, my special friend/accomplice/escort/girlfriend will be going as Aerith. I gave her a cute idea which she liked. She will be wielding my Buster Sword, since I won't be Cloud.
However it won't be the Buster Sword I used. It will be my other Buster Sword replica, which can be seen here, being compared with my other one. It is walnut
Well I didn't plan this (or did I?), but I am going to Brickfest PDX. Yes, the one in Portland. Yes, the one that is like in March. Yes, I know I am good looking.
And as fates would have it, I also happen to be the Bionicle Coordinator for this event. But things have changed. This time around though, Bionicle will have 2 coordinators, so that means there is gonna be another guy.
Of course I shouldn't spoil the details. I'm sure he will crawl out of the cave and expose himself to the world

So as Schizo and T-Hybrid mentioned in my previous entry, Lego should do something that is Final Fantasy.
Now I been brainstorming this, and it could be a fantasy theme placed in the Castle category. Now you will say that Castle, Knights Kingdom, and Vikings is fantasy enough, but it truly isn't. They do not have the magical appeal that Final Fantasy has. And now you will say "Harry Potter has enough magic". Well Harry Potter is no magic.
What this theme could be is something that isn't

So I got myself the Final Fantasy: Unlimited DVD collection, which has all 25 episodes. Started watching it, not to shabby, kinda corny.
For those who don't know, FF: Unlimited was an anime show in late 2001 that was based in a fantasy world. Though not strongly connected to the games, it had FF elements, such as summons, Chocobo, and Chaos.
Summons look weird.
First episode had Leviathan and Bahamut duke it out. They knocked each other out.
Cuz the King of Summons ais no match fo
Censored the name and necessary details to keep it hidden.
The convo continued after this, and it turned out to be some BZPer trying to ###### me off greatly.

So I like tattoos. I have one. I want more.
Was planning on getting my second one, but then I was focused on school, so didn't have time to make the appointment. Well was watching Miami Ink earlier yesterday, and it reminded me "I need to get up off this couch and get that tattoo".
Cuz yes.
That is the current one I have. Had it since October 2005.

I have a goal, and it is to have a super ultimate Final Fantasy collection. Now I am not talking about everything that is FF, but mainly just a collection in general.
Now what I mean is I want every game, DVD, CD, whatever is out there.
Basically for games, all I have are these guys:
Now you would say "zomg Omi you gots like all of them", but on the contrary, I don't. What is missing from this collection are:
Final Fantasy X-2 (yes I know it sucks, but it is needed)
Final Fant

Just wanted to wish every a happy new year. My resolution is to look at my goals accomplished, and the mistakes that I have made, and make something of them in this upcoming year.

I like how it is the middle of December, almost winter, in New England, and I am able to walk outside in a t-shirt without even get a chill.
The weather is incredible, despite the cloudy sky.
But since it is warm now at this time, I am sure it will be an inferno during the summer.

It is sure that time of year for everyone to celebrate and enjoy the holidays, but while you are at home, there are those people who work hard on that day to make it wonderful for you.
Who am I talking about you ask? Why the UPS and FedEx workers. They travel all over the country and world to deliver your packages on time, and since its the holidays, they have larger amounts to deliver. This blog entry is dedicated to those guys because they deserve it.

Finally finished up Final Fantasy XII. Kinda rushed through it, but oh well. I tend to do that.
Now when Christmas vacation comes around, I will be replaying it to get 100% on it. That means fully leveled, license boards filled, all legendary weapons found, and every summon as well. Sounds tough, but I love a challenge.
So yay!
But I still gotta finish FF3 and FF5. ><

School is officially done for the semester for me, as I have taken my last final like an hour ago.
Now to take a nice month long break, as I return to school on January 22nd.

I know I have done this before, but I am doing it again, cuz I can.
BZP has a wonderful community, but it wouldn't be the way without you guys. So this is for you all.

As mentioned here, I had to write a short paragraph essay response towards Reality TV.
Well since I got it back with a Very Good on it, figured to share it.
Reality TV is “gladiatorial combat”. People do go all out and compete just to be featured on the show. However, it is in human nature to compete with others. Life is really about being the better man than the other guy, and reality TV feeds our ego so we can become the better man, or the big loser. However, I don’t really see much real
When I was working on the radio being a dj, one thing I did was play music from small bands, mainly labeled as "local bands". My goal was to have them be heard.
Well 3 bands I played alot happen to be my fave and really good IMO.
I want everyone to keep their eyes out for:
Crash Midnight - local band from Boston, MA
Bully - local band from Virginia (Norfolk area)
Salva Me - local band from Illinois
I have actually met Crash Midnight quite a few times, and visited their sh
Just wanted to update you guys on the outfit. So far I have the shoes, belts, shirt, and pants. The vest is being custom made for me (and only me, since it is my sizes only). The gun will take me awhile, since my plan is to buy a few flintlocks, take them apart and piece them back together into Balthier's Altair (the gun, dur).
And once I get everything, I head to the barber (to ruin my hair forever with blonde highlights) for the event that the outfit shall be debuted.
