LOL, OMG Added to the Oxford English Dictionary ♥
So I am sure that many of you around the country and the world have been made aware that the Oxford English Dictionary has Added OMG, LOL and ♥. HOW CAN ♥ BE A WORD. It OMG, LOL are not words they are shorthand acronyms for Oh my god and Laugh out loud. My fear of students handing in text language papers to English teachers may very well become a horrific nightmare come to life. I can see it now.
(This is not a real paper made by a high school it is an example of what I fear)
"Like, OMG, Shakespeare was totally awesome bcause he was like totally loling at the tsp who mocked him. SRSLY."
My brain literally just punched itself for writing like that. It is actions like adding acronyms to the Dictionary A BOOK ABOUT WORDS that just makes me (A self proclaimed member of the Blue Lantern Corp) lose hope in the future of humanity. Text language has places for it's use like Twitter or places where you only have a certain amount of characters to write with. IT DOES NOT BELONG IN EVERYDAY WORDAGE.
LOL,OMG and ♥ should not be placed in the dictionary.

The Fates of Spirit World (FCFF FIGHT TWO OF TWO)
In the other world, there exist two forces for good that operate on earth. The soul Society and The Spirit Detectives both have the potential to produce evil beings but for the most part are righteous in their causes. But what would happen if one from each faction were to ever meet, face to face. It is a clash of detectives vs ghost hunters in a battle to see who can hold the title of most badass.
Yusuke Urameshi Vs Ichigo Kurosaki
IN THIS CORNER WITH STRAWBERRY BLOND HAIR STANDING IN AT A STAGGERING SIX FEET THREE INCHES TALLLLLLLL IIIIIICCCCHHHIIIIIGGOOOOO KUROSAKI. Ichigo is a typical anime character with an “I am too good for this bull crap” attitude with a constant scowl on his face. He has the potential to be a good student but never acts on it due to the I don’t cares. At a young age he was able to see into the spirit world seeing ghosts with the potential to be saved or to become hollows. It is in his middle school years that he meets Rukia a Soul Reaper who is in danger and takes up her sword in her place essentially replacing her as a soul reaper. Through training and trails by fire Ichigo has climbed the latter time again to meet the challenges thrown at him
AND IN THIS CORNER WITH BLACK HAIR AND A PISSED OFF ATTITUDE STANDING AT FIVE FEET FIVE INCHES TALL YUSUKE URAMMMMMESHIIII. Yusuke like Ichigo is too good for school but has the reputation of being the biggest punk of his middle school. He is in more fights then he attends class and is known to just leave school when he feels like it. When doing so nine times out of ten ends up in a street fight, usually against his biggest rival. During one fateful day when Yusuke left school early, he was struck down by a car while saving a little boy. He awoke in the spirit world with the offer to return to life as a Spirit Detect with awesome powers. Which grew to the point where he would ultimately become a half demon king.
THE FIGHT:
Both fighters are not going to give each other room to breathe but while Yusuke is a genius of street fights, Ichigo fights with a sword. But that has never stopped Yusuke in the past. Once it starts coming down to powers both fighters are impressively tough. The only problem being Yusuke’s powers are ranged to up close and personal. If he can dodge the attacks of Ichigo’s Zanbakto and land a punch powered up by his spirit energy Ichigo would get messed up. It is an even fight until both are forced to tap into their dark sides once this happens the fight will kick into over drive and become bloody. It is a first for the FCFF but I am calling a draw.

A fight to save or damn Boston (FCFF fight one of two)
And Sheppard’s we shall be, for thee my lord for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand, so that our feet may swiftly carry out thy commands. So we shall flow forth a river onto thee, teaming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.
*BANG BANG*
This day the seventeenth of March the day known as Saint Patrick’s Day, the day Saint Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland during his forty day fast. On this day it, it should be so fitting to pit The MacManus Brothers against the Cops of Boston.
The Boondock Saints Vs William Costigan Jr and Collin Sullivan
Bio: Conner MacManus, even tempered, logical and always thinking a few steps ahead before leaps, the brains behind the muscle. Tattooed on his hand is the word “Veritas” which in Latin means truth. Do not let his nature fool you he is not someone to be messed with in a fight especially when it comes to his brother Murphy. While Murphy is celebrating with the cops for helping with dealing with the people who mugged them, Conner is contacting the Russian’s bosses to find out what was with the message on the beeper. Take the fight to the men who tried to kill them.
Bio: Murphy MacManus, hot headed, emotional and quick to act both in action and in wit, he will leap first and ask questions later. Tattooed on his hand is the Latin word “Aequitas” which means Justice. His impulse leads him to argue with his brother and into danger but through sheer dumb luck they make it out alright.
Veritas and Aequitas a force to be wreckoned with.
Bio: William Costigan Jr, a cop undercover in the Irish mob who maybe not coincidentally worked with the Irish Mob from a very young age. Despite his best efforts to play both sides of the coin he ends up being discovered by a person within the BPD who is also tied to the Irish Mob
Bio: Collin Sullivan, trained to be a mole within the police Sullivan knows his role to protect the Irish Mob bosses and hides the fact well. Well enough to even fool his superiors into thinking that there is mole within his crew.
Two Crooked cops both with opposing goals but make one hell of a team if you were to put them together.
The FIGHT
It is Saints vs Crooked Cops, while both sides have potential to fail miserably, I for one have to give this fight to the brothers. Why it is simple because their team work is better, yes they fight but they are brothers, that is just what brothers do. They are also very meticulous about leaving no traceable evidence at a scene. This alone would throw Costigan and Sullivan through many loops to a point where they cannot even trust each other. It will end with the blood of the wicked cops being spilled on the floor by the Saints. With their father saying . "Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of god. "

An Outlaw In The Stars
From the opening scene talking of epic space travel to the Opening Song which will blow your mind Outlaw Star is an Anime that will not disappoint you. Memories of this epic space travel anime to this day inspires me for my various character creations. Gene Starwind, calm, cool, collected even in the face of danger. His only weakness is his growing love of the Outlaw Star's AI Melfina. Though the relationship between the two seems strained you can tell Gene deeply cares for her. His relationship with his partner James Hawking a.k.a Jim is like a relationship between brothers, constant bickering, making fun of each, and ultimately protecting one another. Along the way Gene is joined in his adventure by women who are out to kill him like the lovely and deadly "Twilight" Suzuka and the feral beauty Aisha Clanclan of the Ctarl-Ctarl race.
All you need to know about Outlaw Star is this, it is an epic space anime mixed with a gripping story and a cast of characters that will kick your ass and leave you begging for more. I give this anime an nine out of ten.

Original Glee
This show is a guilty pleasure for me. I watch it cause it kinda reminds me of my days in high school when I was in choir. Minus the slushy throwing and the random singing of songs through out the school.... Singing popular songs was not on the choir directors mind, he always had us singing showtunes and classical songs. But that is not the point of this post.
Tonights' glee showed that a choir can do original songs if given the chance. The original music sang by the cast was to say the least very good. Both songs, had a nice ring to them on the ears. The beat of all the songs felt in place to the song it was being put behind. Ranging from funny to controversial to melencholy and longing to uplifting all the songs were a joy to listen to. I do not say that often about songs very rarely do I give songs praise like this.
I could be wrong a professional judge of music I am not. But opinions are like assholes everybody has one.

Shameless: Just as good in America as it is in England
The first season of Shameless has been blowing me away, great writing (or should I say script adaptation)great cast and excellently shot on Camera. It is the type of show that will punch you in the face with it crude talking cast, punch you in the gut with the issues that the family goes through to survive. But at the same time, it leaves you wanting more. I know I know people will hate on the Americanized version but it is a damn good show. If you wrote it off because it didn't look like something you would enjoy, I am telling you, give it a second chance. Tonight (March 13th)episode was amazing and the twist toward the end with Ian's character, that threw me through a loop. The whole episode my mouth open in shock and awe at the drama and amazingness of the story being told. Not many shows can do that to me. Bravo Shameless Bravo
A big thank you
I can not express how thankful I am to the people who read this blog and the people retweet my tweets about my posts on twitter. Thank you all without your help I do not think this blog would as great as it has become.
Please continue to comment and tell me what I need to improve on. Without your help I can not grow. :)

I Wish I Was 17 Again
Seventeen again is a movie I should I hate on principal, but I can not bring myself to hate this movie. Why because it made me laugh. "If you can make the police laugh you have a chance." Gabriel Iglesias. It is a movie done in the style of "It's A Wonderful Life." Where the main character sees his guardian angel jump off a bridge, main character falls off the bridge and is put into a situation where something has changed. In this case the thing that has changed is the main character's age going from mid thirty something to seventeen. But not being placed into the time when he was seventeen, but being seventeen in the current time line. So Mathew Perry's character turns into Zack Effron and goes to school with his two kids.
By not being directly pulled out of the time line, he has to manage a pending divorce to the woman he still loves and has to deal with helping his kids who he isn't close too. This movie is surprisingly good, the concept while cliche fits in with the story and the characters. It does have problems with some of the dialog being a bit unbelievable, and some of the casting could have been better. Other then that I give this movie an eight out of ten.

Tactics of the tactless
It has recently been brought to my attention by a friend that the GOP is pushing to make it tougher for college students to vote and make it so that every person going to vote must show State ID and proof of citizenship. To me this tells me that the GOP is trying to suppress the voting rights of our country's young people and members of the miniority races. With a push like this just a year before the Next Presidential election, it seems to me like they are trying to tip the scales in their favor (Which is not odd) but to go to this magnitude, come on.
In a recent speech given by House Speaker William O'Brien to the Tea Party he was quoted saying about the validity of College Age Voters as "foolish" "Voting as a liberal. That is what kids do." He also went onto say that College Student "lack life experience." and "just vote their feelings."
I know many conservative college age students and I know just as many Liberal college age students. To group EVERY college age student into the liberal category wouldn't that alienate your younger members. Just saying. This whole situation says to me that the GOP fears the minority and just legal age voters.
The Tactics of the tactless are as follows Fear Tactics to scare people into voting for them because it is the "safe" thing to do and Voter manipulation.
I just hope that the Supporters of the GOP see through this, because not only will this effect Democrats but it will effect the Republicans also.

One and a Half Men (Sheen Fired)
Actor and recent media darling for being the town psycho Charlie Sheen was terminated from his job on Two and A Half Men this past Monday afternoon. Sheen has since then lashed out in interviews calling the producers "Juvenile Infants." According to Sheen in his interview with Access Hollywood he stated that he had not heard from CBS or Warner Bros except through a text message. If that is true it is not professional and it seems like something Charlie Harper would do when he wants to break off a relationship that is getting to serious, just saying.
Rumors have been circulating that the producers of Two and A Half Men have approached Glee's John Stamos, which Stamos had deigned being offered the role on his twitter account. But as everyone on the internet knows time goes by in the blink of an eye and it is very possible that the producers did. Only time will tell and maybe Stamos is trying to pull a next Doctor Who and keep the acceptance of the role close to his chest. If you are in the media dark and did watch Television through out the 80's and 90's John Stamos was Hermes Constopalis A.K.A Uncle Jesse on Full House.
As a fan of the series Two and A Half Men, I am saddened to see Sheen being treated in such a manor. But as a critic I saw this coming, the dude had it coming. Pulling a Megan Fox and blasting the producers of the show. But unlike Megan Fox, Sheen has enough talent to pull himself out of this rut and get work.

Generation Evolution
Today March 6th marks the release of Poke'mon black and white in America and the release of the 5th generation of the game. It has been a long journey for this hand held game which has grown with the generation it started with and brings in new players with each version.
1st Generation
A simple game, no running, a one speed bicycle and 151 Poke'mon to catch, battle and trade. Released in North America in 1998 it captivated an audience young and old with it's style and ease of play and memorable characters.
2nd Generation
With the Second Generation came, an addition 150 Poke'mon, a new story, 16 badges to collect instead of the Standard 8 and a more menacing rival. The introduction of Apricorns which were used to make specialized Poke'Balls. And it was the first Poke'Mon game to utilize different times of day. Bringing about the concept of Poke'mon Breeding. Fans of the 1st Gen returned and enjoyed the new game on the Gameboy Color when it was released in North America in the year 2000
3rd Generation (Advanced Generation
The third generation introduced not only another additional 150 Poke'mon to the mix but it was the first game in the series to offer the players the choice of playing as a male or female character. Not one but two different bicycles and it had two distinct enemy teams trying to take over the region for their own ends. The standard 8 badges remain in this game. It also marked the start of the Poke'mon contests where trainers could put their Poke'mon in a competition to see who had the better Poke'mon. Double Battles were also introduced into the mix in this game. Released in North America in 2003 on the Gameboy Advanced it showed a sign of decrease in the original fans returning but it brought in new players to carry on the games legacy.
4th Generation (DS Generation)
The 4th generation carried on the traditions of it's three predecessors and added yet more additions to the game adding yet another 150 pokemon. Nothing really new added to the mix other then the features of the touch screen for The DS like an itemfinder that didn't require you to open your bag and get it out. Another new feature to the 4th gen was the utilization of WiFi, connecting your DS to the internet allowed you to trade with other Trainers World Wide. This generation hit the North American Shores in 2007
5th Generation
The current generation has been toted as going back to the basics. Meaning there is still 150 pokemon, but they are all specific to the new Region. Trainers can not catch pokemon from the other 4 regions, atleast I am assuming until after you beat the Regions Elite four. New to the game series is the triple battle meaning it is 3 Poke'mon battling at the same time. It is also introducing the concept of season changing, in game time the season will change along with which poke'mon show up in which area depending on the season it is. Also new to the game is version specific areas. In one version there is an area that does not show up in the other along with Poke'Mon that are specific to that area.
So I hope you enjoyed the trip down Nostalgia lane, as I briefly recapped the history of the Poke'Mon games.

List of Anime I Recommend to people.
A question I get from time to time is "What anime do you suggest that I watch if I want to get into Anime?" Well to be fair, I am not the type of person you should ask, my knowledge of Anime is limited. You would be better off asking someone like Marzgurl or JesuOtaku two anime reviewers I really respect. But if i had to recommend anime to someone I usually suggest these.
1. Yu Yu Hakusho
2. Hellsing
3. Trigun
4. Dragonball Z
5. Chobits
6. Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory
7. Gundam 08th MS Team
8. Dragonball
9. Starblazers
10. The Ronin Warriors
I would just like to point out I am by no means an expert on Anime. But I think I am an okay judge of good animes. What ever you do, do not watch Bobobo-bo bo-bobo it is crap. I am all for wacked out crack anime, but that anime is just plain bad.
