    I am in tears right now. I don't care if that incites someone to call me a wuss, really I don't.
    It'll just make it more funny if and when it happens to you.
     
    Here's the deal... every 10 years, like every 9th year of a decade it seems, I come across music (usually trance) that just OBLITERATES me.
     
    My heart gets fast.
    I get tears in my eyes.
    My heart ACHES.
    My breathing is fast
    I'm holding my breath.
    I feel happy.
    I feel sad.
    I loosen up and melt.
    I tighten up like I'm about to enter a life and death fight.
    I recede within myself.
    I'm inspired to branch out.
    I want to curl up in a ball.
    I want to do something creative.
     
    I guess it's a similar feeling to being in real love the first time.
     
    10 years ago, it was stuff like that mentioned here: http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?aut...=50474#comments
    It was coming home from work after the graveyard shift and waking up in the afternoon to the various trance shows playing on WPRB Princeton 103.3
    It was playing CDs like Sasha and Digweed - Northern Exposure : East Coast Edition.
    It was driving 4 hours into upperstate New York to meet new friends, listening to techno all the way.
    It was going to raves, seeing and hearing stuff that was so new and awesome you couldn't believe humanity had gone without it up until then.
     
    And then... it seemed to just "vanish" from the mainstream as instantly as it had arrived.
    No, faster.
    By 2001, gone was most of the college trance radio shows.
    Gone was the techno show MTV AMP... probably the last show I ever watched on that channel.
    Techno DIED.
     
    Devastating.
     
    Similarly, 10 years before that, it was me going to New york City to raid the anime tables at scifi / comic conventions, all the while listening to R&B pop playing from the top (top top toptop toptoptoptop!) of the Empire State Building on my mini-FM radio.. WITHOUT having to tune it in (all the way back in Pennsylvania lol).
    Not techno so much, but good music that was just not "white" enough to be played back in my state with any decent airtime.
    I was almost out of school, I was driving for the first time...
    ...but by 1991... it was all but gone. Replaced by junk.
    Oh, there was some darn good rock in the 90's, don't get me wrong. Very good, in fact!
    But they didn't make me HURT.
    They didn't jump into me.
     
     
    Well, it's 2009. I felt music was shifting in 2008 (not the stuff on mainstream, terrestrial radio mind you).
    I was waiting for it, losing hope of experiencing it again.
    And tonight, I bumped into something that shot right through me.
    http://www.djrii.com/sets/urtz/Rii%20-%20U...0Year%20Mix.mp3
    That. Right there.
     
    It's funny. I've been listening the past decade to the stuff on Sirius Satellite Radio from the UK, like the weekly "Essential Mix" stuff with Paul Oakenfold and any of the other popular DJs in the world.
    And they're not bad, not at all. But there's something just redundant I can't quite put a finger on.
    I like them, but I can walk away from them. Something's too "polished" with them... which in a way is "unpolished".
    On top of that, I've listened to hundreds of garbage DJs not knowing what the heck they're doing too... that didn't help lol.
     
    But this... it was like a hot spear through my chest. I'm listening to it right now in fact, getting choked up.
     
    The pile of emotions that come from it are both hopeful and yet... man, I don't even know what I'm talking about lol.
    It's happening again. It's the 9th year of the decade and I've been steamrolled by a set of trance done so right.
    The difference this time is I already know that by 2011, my life will be much different and I'll probably have to wait for something awesome like this to come along again.
     
    Oh well, enough blubbering about it.
    If you know what I'm talking about, hey, lucky you.
    If you don't, I hope you have some kind of equivalent, some kind of music that does this to you.
    It's a good pain.
     
    10/10 would cry again

    I always do this. Go online shopping, then buy completely different stuff.
     
    So this time, I go to a site to see, merely to SEE if Glatorian parts like hands and snowflake shields are there... but somehow... SOMEHOW it ends up like this:
     

     
    I'm sorry, but does this LOOK like Glatorian parts to you? No, no it does not. >__<
     
    (Don't ask for the site, it has a forum.)

     
    *sigh* ...On a good note, those 1x15 beams mean I've been inspired to get back into making a big humanoid again.
     
    And after feeling burned on not getting Glatorian hands, I realized how easy it is to make my own. Which is sad, because I should've seen the configuration long ago.

    Head stuffed up.
    Talking more than 5 seconds = wanting to barf.
    Headache.
    Can barely breath.
    Phlegm you could cut with a fork.
    Sore throat.
    Achey.
    Dizzy.
    Vertigo.
     
    SOLUTION:
     
    A steaming bowl containing:
     
    1 big can of beef barley soup.
    1 small, dented, heavily discounted, possibly compromised can of condensed chicken noodle soup... uncondensed.
    1/2 a jar of savory beef gravy.
    squirt of teriyaki marinade sauce
    half a tray of beefsteak peppers / pork fried rice chinese combo
    slice of white bread, broken up
     
    big glass of water.
    2 aspirin
     
    listening on the internet to WPRB radio station playing live Daft Punk
     
    Dangit, ONE of these ingredients have to do SOMETHING.

    New Year Pride!

    By JINZONINGEN 73,

    As in, I take great pride in pointing out watching a freaking ball-thing drop, watching hours of has-been, washups in the entertainment (yawn) industry sit outside reading teleprompters and seeing a camera pan on to the SAME group of drunks over and over is really, REALLY BORING.
     
    Oh well... I'm being dragged down the hallway to see it. >__<
     
    Show of hands... who here thinks I should be a scumbag and pull the TV's power cord out when the countdown hits "1"?

    I never particularly liked books... maybe back when I was in elementary lol.
    Books are usually terribly boring.
    You read 100 pages in only to find either the author is actually a numbskull or that the book is clearly not getting any better.
    Visual and audio media is always SO much faster. When something sucks, you haven't wasted a whole day on it.
     
    Well, I found a book that has me stuck to it.
    Better yet, it's online and free, as the author is just trying to spread knowledge and common sense as a balance to all the corruption and repression perpetrated against, well, pretty much most of humanity.
     
    The book is Earth's Forbidden Secrets by Maxwell Igan
     
    Long story short, he gives examples (accompanied by pictures) of things that have been unearthed which TOTALLY blow human history as we know it into the water.
    Stuff like 500,000 year old rocks with man-made items embedded inside them, maps that have latitude and longitude LOOOOONG before such things were supposed to exist...
     
    He goes into how the creation of the pyramids have been credited to people that were known in the news back then to be false... yet due to politics in the scientific community, lies have become something fiercely defended.
     
    There's even rocks shown with accurate depictions of the continents, people riding giant birds and dinosaurs (at a time when man wasn't supposed to KNOW about dinosaurs).
     
    Even more, in some places of the world you have dinosaur bones... but then a few feet UNDER them you have... cobblestone roads?
     
    WHAT? Roads UNDER dinosaur fossils? lol
     
    You have fossilized human remains before man was supposedly present.
     
    You have a fossilized shoe print (no, not a footprint, a SHOE print) that has apparently STEPPED on a living trilobite at the time.
     
    Here's a fun one... we ALREADY know and science has accepted that the Egyptians had made batteries, jars filled with specific acids and metal columns... but what for?
     
    Ah, well they needed light inside the dark pyramids, did they not?
    Well, what the heck do you think those big, giant glass-lookin' tubes found on hieroglyphics are?!? I mean heck, they even depict wires running over to the batteries lol!
     

     
    Right... so much of what we're taught about human history seems to be false.
     
    But why would scientists not want to get to the "truth" of our world? Isn't that what science is about?
    Well yes, it is. And yes, some scientists DO want to investigate things further.
     
    But scientists are people too. Just as there's corruption in every human institution, the scientific academia is no exception.
    People whose entire careers, their entire schools, their entire museums that is their livelihood... don't like change.
    It automatically invalidates who and what they've studied to be, mostly.
     
    Maybe there's even crazier reasons... like people in high places CAN'T let people know the truth about our history or they lose power.
     
    In any case, it's dang good reading, despite spelling mistakes I pick up where you can tell the author is getting into what he's talking about.
    And really, only being 1/3 of the way through, it's CLEAR that a lot of what we're taught in textbooks about who we are and where we came from (and possibly where we're going) is quite a bit of poopoo.
     
    So yeah... I'll be off a day or two from here digesting all this. It's actually THAT exciting.

    Force Kick!

    By JINZONINGEN 73,

    I don't know what makes me titter more.
     
    His foot not making contact.
    His lightsaber glow jumping up high seemingly where it shouldn't.
    The geeky guard uniform.
    The guard's overacting, complete with gun toss lol.
    Or stuffed Boba Fett dummy floating by in the background.
     
    The gif is just terrible win, in a terrible, wonderful way.

    (Conversation begun here):
    http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?aut...showentry=47922
     
    Hmm... might as well continue this, even if it's just me talking to myself lol.
     
    Ghost Hunters S04E26 (series 4, episode 26) had some interesting things. Jay nad Grant heard a LOUD voice say "I like the one in the hat"... but it was a most non-credible thing. It sounded just like it had come off of a speaker. They looked for evidence of one, but couldn't.
    Now, unless an entity managed to accidentally amplify their "voice" using some of the metal plates in the ceiling beams (like a piezo speaker, kind of) ...it sounded like someone was messing with them.
     
    At the same time though, the girls heard a loud bang followed by finding a good size rock in a place where it wasn't before. A little harder to pull off, if indeed someone was playing games.
    Likewise, they had success with the flashlight trick, but it didn't continue long enough to be truly useful.
     
    The next place they visited was more debunking than anything else. The silverware that would move and make X patterns were found to be magnetic! It's not to say the owners were playing games on them. Some of my own silverware is like that (why? no idea.). Disembodied footsteps and other sounds were heard, though that anomaly is a dime a dozen in this game.
     
    It wasn't a complete bust though... Jay thought he heard a refrigerator turn on, but later on in audio it came out as a voice saying "Where's the boy?".
     
    Ghost Adventures S01E08
    I hate to say it, but these guys are getting some very good results from their dangerous actions.
     
    In this episode, they went to a famous abandoned insane asylum that's been in the magazine "Weird New Jersey" a few times.
     
    The evidence was pretty nice. Laying down on a metal slab inside a morgue vault, one of the guys had bumps going on, even though the other two were upstairs investigating. Then his recorder caught what sounded like the word "die".
     
    After he freaked out (they guys locked him in!) and being retrieved (which was complicated by the doors upstairs locking themselves lol), an orb was caught zipping past him, hovering a moment, then shooting over to his face, at which point he felt a slap and his face had turned red at that spot, slightly swelling.
     
    Likewise, caught on film was a moment where an orb zips up behind Zach, hits his arm, AND is simultaneously caught with a shadow of a human hand on the wall coming off of his own shadow.
    Of course he freaked out thinking that one of the other two had touched his hand, but the cams showed NO ONE was moving at the time.
     
    A decent sound of a female was caught in one room, though they said it sounded like singing it could also have been moaning.
     
    These three guys do things very dangerously, but dang it... it's working.
    They elaborated in this episode on why they do things the way they do... for emotional output. they "act the part", putting themselves into the location they're investigating.
     
     
    Fear is a strong emotion. It works terribly well in giving the stranger things in life the energy they need to pull tangible stuff off for us to capture.
     
    Although I respect the show a bit now, I'm also (still) watching it like a car race.
    Mainly, I KNOW they're going to screw up badly, eventually.
    Inevitably, someone's going to wind up getting really hurt.

    " Jinzoningen 73 "

    By JINZONINGEN 73,

    Lol, yep. I loosely nicknamed myself because of Dragonball Z.
     
    There was a TV special in Japan around March 1993 called "The History of Trunks".
     
    Back then, one could ONLY pretty much get new anime by going to scifi or (UGH) Star Trek conventions... laboring past sweaty, smelly nerds and downright PATHETIC tables of fanfics printed up on copy machines. Scary stuff with poorly drawn depictions of like Capt. Picard mouthing Dr. crusher. Stuff that made your eyes bleed.
     
    They were scary and terrible events, worse than 100 anime cosplayers...
     
    Aaaaaaanyway, the whole point, the WHOLE REASON to drive miles, take buses, take trains, run hundreds blocks through congested cities and whatnot to get to these nightmares was just those one or two guys who had selling tables which had NOTHING to do with poopy American superhero JUNK or $500 lightsaber replicas...
     
    ...The "ANIME" guys.
     
    They were things of beauty, for their time. They'd try and cram EVERY type of product onto their meager little tables.
    You'd have a stack of manga books with anime music CDs on top.
    You'd have UFO catcher gashapon plushies hanging from peg hooks.
    There'd be stacks of robot models underneath the tables (oh, and they weren't these nice, new models that you can put together without glue, no.)
    The REAL thing my eyes cried out for was the standing shelves people like this always had... the TOYS. You'd see characters from anime you saw in the 70's... but new toys still being made? You'd see super-deformed versions of characters both america AND japan... and all the sweet, sweet, giant diecast metal robots from like Bandai's Godaikin, Popy, Takatoku...
     
    I can only imagine how odd it had looked, me just sitting there going through EVERYTHING a seller had for sale, dumbfounded that such things this awesome even existed. Or worse yet, asking him to take EVERYTHING down off the shelf so I could molest it.
     
    All the while, you'd have fruitcakes dressed up as Klingons or fat chicks attempting to be Slave Leia walk by with angry looks and being like, "Uh, this has NOTHING to do with scifi".
     
    LOL.
     
    But the real killer of wallets... the anime. These guys would have a few comic book boxes FULL of videotapes.
    They were rarely legitimate, either. They literally would have friends in Japan tape stuff, and they'd just duplicate them dozens of times using two VCRs.
     
    Oh, and the quality did suffer. On some tapes, you'd hit "play", and then you'd see the "play" text onscreen from maybe 5 OTHER people's VCRs stepping on each other before the show actually started lol! Sometimes you'd get BURNED, getting home to find the seller didn't look over his dub job, selling DOZENS of people tapes with audio but video that was flipping and impossible to track into view.
     
    And the price? Holy crow. At first, it was not odd at all to spend $20 on a bad quality videotape that ONLY had 2 episodes of any anime on it.
    Every year, it got a bit better... the tapes would actually be utilized up until the end of their 2, 4 or 6 hour runtimes.
     
    Aaaaaanyway, there was a guy who did subtitles. And it seemed after awhile that every bootleg I was buying had his (poorly made) credits at the start. He turned the art of illegal anime videotapes into a business apparently.
     
    One of those tapes I got was Dragonball Z. I already heard of Dragonball... back in the 80's, one of the UHF TV stations had aired a special called "Dragonball", which was two movies of young Goku. (Done by the Robotech guys, Harmony Gold. It wasn't terrible, but they changed names here and there. Goku was called "Zero". Ick.)
     
    It was kind of confusing... WHY was Goku all grown up and why were the fights so much more monumental?
    I was hooked. Apparently a lot of others were too, as the tables selling bootlegs of it were CRAMMED with people... bigtime.
     
    Around the same time, I had anime penpals through some wretched fan publication called "Mangazine".
    But I wanted a cool pen name. My name's kind of boring, so...
    (And remember, this was before the internet boom. The only time people had alter-ego type names was when they were talking on the CB radio to strangers.) Needless to say, my CB name blew too. ("Thousand People", it was).
     
    So I'm watching this Dragonball Z special and a scene pops up where Goku's getting killed (literally) by the androids.
    He then yells, "#### (dang) JIZONINGEN!"
     
    I thought it was funny for some reason, and I was pretty sure ningen meant "human". So, I went to the library and found I was right.
    Couldn't find a translation of "jizo" though.
     
    So I started sending letters out to penpals with "JIZONINGEN 73" (73 = birth year) on it, only to be quickly corrected it was actually "jinzo", which meant artificial, robotic, fake, etc... or, "fake human".
     
     
    And yeah. There we is.
     
    Things are godlike now to someone who lived through the dark times before the internet.
    An entire anime series contained on something the size of a keychain? In HIGH quality? And a few hours after new episodes air?
     
    WHAT?!?
     
    Nearly any japanese toy you could ever want, much cheaper than they used to be, all contained in practically one place?
     
    WHAT?!?

    It's a good time to be alive... B)

    By JINZONINGEN 73,

    Are there any multiplayer online games that super-closely resemble this?
    If so, are they free?

    Well, not so much Dragonball Z, but the trailer I just saw for the new live-action movie.
    I knew it was going to be bad, I mean duh... but it's like BAD bad.
     
    BAD bad bad.
     
    Roshi has no sunglasses, no turtle shell, NO resemblance to Roshi.
    Bulma's the one most in character, yet merely just an asian [removed -Shine] with guns.
    Piccolo is just some angry lookin' guy with green CGI'ed onto his face after fans freaked out from him being flesh-colored (lol). Looks AMAZINGLY like the lead vampire in Blade 2... who also happens to bleed green. (Yet is infinitely cooler).
     
    The Dragonballs were created 1 each by 7 mystics. (from the trailer, I get the impression they probably sacrificed themselves to make a ball).
     
    The "capsules" that were so popular in the show are more annoying... a capsule pops onto the ground and TRANSFORMS all Transformersy-CGI into a motorcycle. >__<
     
    And while everyone else is like Chinese or Korean (not Japanese, lol) Goku's some scrawny white kid, saying such AWESOME movie cliche' JUNK as, "I... I don't know if I'm ready" *sniff*.
     
    Oh, and he charges up a kamehameha and sends it off with one hand. >__>
     
    And then it's like WAIT OH GOD ::grabs bucket::
  18. JINZONINGEN 73
    You know what you never see photoshopped? Real-life anime people.
     
    You have humans dressing up as anime characters.
    You have humans with human bodies and giant anime head masks on.
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN...animeisreal.jpg
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN...me_eyes_lol.jpg
     
    But there's no photoshops of anime characters in like real lighting situations or with realistic skin draped over a 3D model?
     
    It's hardly like there wouldn't be a demand for such strangeness. I mean look at the internet. Just LOOK at it.
    If it exists, somebody has a fetish for it.
     
    But where are they? People do amazing works of art based on their favorite characters from anime and games...
    ...but the most obvious form to bring them closer into their reality is overlooked? Huh? What?
     
    Examples:
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN...awesome_irl.jpg
     


     
    ...but from anime. How can this not be a rampant fad on the internet yet?!? Aren't there more like these?
  19. JINZONINGEN 73
    I'm sure there's others, but this one popped to mind when I ran into it again on a compilation.
     
    Hybrid - Finished Symphony
     
    This was in one of the SSX games on PS2.
    The version of it I first encountered was on "Sasha and Digweed - Northern Exposure II : East Coast Edition".
     
    I's love to hear someone do a remix combining the original version with the godlike enhancements on Sasha and Digweed's version. (actually, the whole CD is good)
     
    Aside from being real good, it happened to coincide with a moment where I took to long to tell someone I liked them. Double-owie.
     
    So what about you? Any songs that slam you into the cold, wet ground and leave you there until it's over?

    Chances are if you make me laugh more than once a day or just seem cool, I'll drop this down.
     
    Inappropriate image removed. <<DV>>
     
    Hmm. Perhaps a different one. >__<

    Dahn Dahn Booooo!

    By JINZONINGEN 73,

    GEEZ. I can't stand it!
     
    I mean, I love it, but it's STUCK there.
     
    On countless messageboards, I've tricked many people into clicking on a video that they weren't expecting, because I lied to them.
     
    McRoll'd.
     
    Well, my actions have caught up with me.
     
    If I'm riding a bike, going through a Lego bin, doing dishes... it doesn't matter.
    THAT pops into my head.
     
    Cruel justice is cruel.
