Okay, for those who don't know, these are the shirts Young will have for sale at Acen... and if you can't make it to Acen... then Fanime! And if Acen/Fanime do well... Otakon! Anyway, I'm gonna repost my Go blurb :) Woo! I have a panel at Fanime! Learn to Play Go Go. Over 3,000 years old and the game featured in the popular anime and manga Hikaru no Go. It only has four rules, but their interaction results in one of the most complex games ever played. Stones are placed singly and in alternating order on the intersections of the board. A stone cannot be played which would result in immediate capture unless it is to capture enemy stones. A stone or group of stones that is surrounded by enemy stones is captured. In certain Ko situations a stone that has captured another stone cannot be immediately recaptured. Come and walk the path of Kami no Itte! Anyway, I'll post more info as I get scheduling from Fanime. I'll probably use my laptop + projector to demonstrate, and then we can all play on the computers in the Internet Lounge. Anyone who reads Hikaru no Go and is going to be at Fanime, come and learn how to play Go! Mail me if you'll be there! I'm only expecting 10 people, but who knows, ne? In more news... I'm gonna have to wake up in 6 hours to make a flight to Acen... Woo! Chicago, here I come! I also managed to see trailers for Doom3 and Half Life 2, both demonstrated at E3. There is definitely room, in one year, for both games. I just can't wait. Also, PS2 and XBox systems are both now available for $179.99... of course, Konami would have to be a bastard and announce Metal Gear Solid®3: Snake Eater for PS2, released in 2004... Of course, since I don't own a PS2 or a Metal Gear Solid®: Substance, I can always get that, in the meantime. Perhaps it would be a good time to own both systems... one for Doom3, one for Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts2, Wild Arms 3, etc. If Half Life2 is gonna be on XBox, then yeah, I'll probably get both systems, rather than building a PC for Doom and Half Life. Take care everyone... sorry for the long rant!

Just saw Matrix Reloaded. The following is basically a copy of what I wrote on 猫町. Well, I'm gonna give something away that isn't a spoiler: If you sit thru the end credits of Matrix Reloaded--very long credits that last 3 songs--you will be rewarded with the teaser for Matrix Revolutions, the last movie. Thanks to Chris and Ken of 猫町 for letting me know before seeing the movie. =) It's not a spoiler so I don't see why this should be kept secret. In fact, I think many people would like to hear of these things... especially if they know whether sitting thru the credits will be rewarding or not. There should be a "sitthrumoviecredits.com" site out there so we'd know if our time would be wasted and our bladders further strained. :3 (Yeah yeah, I know, complain complain. However, can anyone--who has absolutely no involvement with the movie in any degree, which would typically mean 99% of the audience--tell me that they honestly enjoy sitting thru them? I enjoy several anime ending credits because they are actually entertaining with good music. Domestic movies tend to have uncreative endings with--pardon my french--shitty music. Eccentric am I. Oh well.) Anyways, have fun y'all! :3

Today I had the most messed up weird ass dream which left me quite depressed and angry. This one was total new and nuthin' I had before. I'm beginning to think I'm having a few issues that I really gotta sort out and learn how to move on and prepare for the worst. Anyway, my dream went like this. It all started with me on a bus with the Nekomachi group heading to Europe to visit London and Germany. We stopped off at London at this convienience store and looked around. After that we headed off to Germany and drove around a bit in this cab and saw weird ass buildings and crap. Finally we stop at this brewry but somehow I don't remember the rest but I end up at this restaurant and my bosses from my work place are there and I gotta find the Nekomachi group. I somehow lost them I had to get back home with them. So I ask my bosses for if I can leave early to look for them and somehow I end up home and one of my friends is there but she's acting really coldly to me and say that she has to go back home to Indonesia cause she can't stay in the US cause she can't find a job. I'm very sad and depressed and angry cause she's acting so cold to me. I try to talk to her but she ignores me. And then I forget what else happens. I know that I'm home alone and for some reason I'm late for work. But then it seems like a few days pass by and the my friend calls me and tells me that her sister is coming to the US to stay here and that she is gonna stay here in with her sister but she's still acting coldy to me. That's where it ended pretty much. I kinda thought about it while I was brushing my teeth, what it all meant. Then I broke it down and figured out things that may have attributed to the events. As for me going to London and Germany in my dream I figure that was pretty much Freelancer's fault cause I was playing that a lot before I went to bed and I was making a lotta trade runs between the Bretonia sector and the Rheinland sector. As for the Nekomachi people traveling with me and losing them half way through my trip I think it's cause I haven't been hanging out with them much lately. As for my friend from Indonesia, that was pretty much obvious about a current real life situation that I'm sad about cause she really does have to find a job here otherwise she'll have to go back to Indonesia. But for her to act coldly to me I'm not sure what that meant. It could be some kinda forshadowing of things to come, bad things. I just hope nuthin' bad happens between us but I'm kinda feeling it may happen so I gotta prepare for the worst. But right now I still kinda feel like crap and depressed. Actually more like insecure. I'm not sure what I need now. I'm trying to find that. But hell, that dream really sucked. I don't know if dream mean anything or if they are trying to tell you something. So far I've been pretty skeptic about that stuff with dreams and paranormal stuff. Hopefully, that's all it is, just a dream. But sometimes when something like that is so parallel to what I'm going through it scares the hell out of me. I like to believe that there is no such thing as fate or destiny cause I wanna be in control and create my own future. But sometimes I give into that belief if the circumstances are in my favor. I know I shouldn't. Again, I feel very weak and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I feel I should just move out and travel and be out on my own. But I have fears that keep me from doing stuff like that. There are so many different outcomes for things I just want things to fall in the right place but that doesn't happen all the time. I thought about fear. I think fear is my ally cause it shows me what I can be doing when I fear doing it. It works against me when I don't do something I'm afraid of but works with me when I do. I think what I need to do now is overcome my fears, let go, and move on. I'm holding on to a lotta things that are holding me back. Those things may seem like security but they actually create more insecurities. Crap, what the hell did I just wrote. I bet tomorrow morning I'm gonna kick myself in the ass for writing this stuff. Guess I needed to get things off my back. Stupid dreams. Other than that, yeah, saw Matrix: Reloaded. Pretty kewl. I have to say though that probably a quarter way through the movie was when things got really awsome. The first quarter was pretty meh. I'd like to go into more of it but don't wanna spoil it for anyone. You'll see what I'm talking about when you seeing it. Had too many Milk Duds too.
