This weekend will be a good one as I essentially detox from a few weeks of craziness.

Life can get so full so fast.

I am a serious fan of this Japanese Anime series, Evangelion.

They are redoing the film and updating the animation quality, adding more content, etc. I couldn’t be more pleased or stoked.

I actually own the Full Run, including Death & Rebirth and The End of Eva:

I seriously cannot wait for this revamp! Trailer after the jump:

Feel free to download the .mov file here!

What do you think? Do they deserve the FAIL card? Or are they just lame…

I think Microsoft took down this last one because of “content” that was “suggestive” in nature and that people didn’t really like.

So… I did what good bloggers do… find someone who saved a copy and reposted!

PUAHA. I HEART THE INTERNETS.

Marriage is tough.

Toughest thing I’ve done. Toughest thing I’m doing. Toughest thing I’m willing to do. It’s not easy. It’s hard. Sometimes it feels like it borderlines the impossible.

Snap. I’m all about Romans 7: “I don’t do what I want to do and I do what I don’t want to do”:

• When I tell her that I love her then do something that doesn’t remotely reflect that love.
• When I promise her I’ll do something and then completely forget not only to do it but also that I actually promised her that I’d do what I promised.
• When I get upset easily over seriously-trivial and stupid things.
• When I don’t pay attention to her because I just got a new email that I feel compelled to answer immediately.
• On and on and on and on…

Lord, I need rescue from myself, this decaying body of flesh that is tempts me to do everything contrary to what I desire.

If only my trust in God could come as easily as my sinful desire to hurt my bride.

My Pastor, Andy Stanley (@AndyStanley on Twitter) cracks me up.

I’m not sure if he changed his bio recently or I just missed it completely, but, it is truly hilarious.

I think that this proves, without a shadow of a doubt, that he “gets” Twitter.

Keep on Tweeting on.

I’m not sure why I find these so entertaining, but I do.

I’ll be honest: I’m a fan, but not as much as many, many, many others out there. There are some true fanatics out there and their tributes are just as worthy (if not more so) than mine.

But the man impacted my life, and I’m thankful that he did, and regardless of all the so-called “wierd” stuff that happened over the years I’m choosing to remember the good instead of the bad.

He showed me, among other things, the creativity afforded in dance and how one somewhat-athletic asian could use his feet for more than just running and kicking a round object into the back of a net.

Dancing has been and still is a part of my life today. I love dancing. I don’t do it often now, and my body doesn’t respond like it used to, but you drop a funky beat and my heart starts pumping. I can still dance in my mind and my imagination, and sometimes that’s just enough.

And I got that from Michael.

From the first time I saw him do the Moonwalk… man, it was all over. I wanted to do exactly that. I watched his videos over and over and over again. I saw how he masterfully matched his body with the music, and yes, I was ‘that’ guy who practiced in the mirror in his underpants.

So, here’s to you Michael. Thanks for giving me dance, amazing music, and some wonderful memories.

What you’ll find here are some videos of some of my favorite songs (you can download the files), his life in pictures, some fan reactions to his passing, some fan art that I like, images of his discography, and more.

Enjoy.

MJ’s Discography:

Life In Photos:

Here are a number of pictures spanning MJ’s life. It’s not “complete” but it’ll give my daughter a taste of what she missed. It’s not chronological, btw.

Legendary Fashion Icon

Michael had superb style. Apparently I didn’t take much to that though (not like I could pull it off anyways). But I know the world at large was looking and taking notes.

The Best Fan Art on the Web

Or… at least that I’ve found so far and collected.

And that’s that.

Thanks for sharing this post with me.

Peace.

Apparently many children create their own language as they first begin to talk. My daughter is no exception.

She has created a number of “words” that mean whatever she wants them to mean in whatever context she deems it to be appropriate. I have no idea what it means, but that’s fine. It’s super cute when she says it.

So, I’m writing it down here so I will never forget “keesha pur pur.”

Roenne, you are my daughter forever and ever and I love you more than I will ever be able to express.
