Dreams
I will be completely honest with you guys. Truthfully, since the posts are too long, I only skimmed over them and didn't really digest anything, so please do excuse me if I am unable to contribute to that. Currently not in the mood to read long posts. But I do seem to get the notion that somebody is a predator and harry potter fanboy. But as not to sound too off topic, the falling thing while dreaming thingy is sometimes refered by other people as "out of body" experience. Something like your soul leaving your body to travel, and you feel like falling when your body is trying to suck back your soul in. Although I'm not entirely sold of the idea.

Dreams
Could the "Naked at work/school" dream possibly be wet dreams? Every male that goes through puberty has them. Or is it the embarassing sort of dream? Which I doubt many people would have. I think most people would only remember bits and peices of their dreams. But the question I liked to ask is if anybody tries to interpret their dreams. I've known a few people who has had their dream come to reality.

Oh, there are character developments, especially for Simone. It's not just a super robot show, it's the personification of a super robot show. It doesn't quite have the angst that Evangelion have, the show is actually light hearted, but things happen unexpectedly that would make you emotionally involved. Let's just say that the story is as straightforward as it can get. Oh, did I mention the robot has a Big F@#%ing Drill!

Ryuki, you got bored on the part that was actually the start of the fun part. That means you haven't seen Kurama and Hiei, as well as Genkai. As for picking up Gurren Lagann, good choice. The show is the epitome of pure epicness of hot blooded awesomeness. It is just..... wait for it..... LEGENDARY! Although I'd imagine you not enjoying it much since it deals with Super Robots. This is one of the rare shows that made me cry.

When you get those pre-approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right? Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little envelopes! Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their application back! Just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. Heck, you can send it back empty if you want to just to keep 'em guessing! Let's turn this into a chain letter! Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all their crap back in the mail. Let's let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and best of all... THEY are paying for it! Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again! Send this to a friend or two or three...or fifty...

Humour thread
Don't copy if you can't paste! A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his audience He said "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!" The audience was in silence and shock. The speaker added "And that woman was my mother" Laughter and applause. A week later, a top IT manager trained by the motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke at home. He was a bit foggy after a drink. He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife". The wife went wild with shock and rage. Standing there for 30 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out ".... and I can't remember who she was!" Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste!

Spider-Man Reboot
Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance seems to be the working title and it supposedly deals with the devil trying to become human. I've heard that it's slated to be released in 2012. I've also read somewhere that Marvel has been trying to bring movie to obscure characters like Black Panther, Antman and other lesser know characters. I'm just not too sure as to where they are now. And yes, they were part of the Avengers for a time. Anyway, those titles have little to do with Spiderman at the moment, but would be cool for them to have a cameo in the spidey movie. That would really bring in more speculations and interest in the marvel cinematic universe. Even if they don't appear as themselves in the movie, anything attached to them, say, like a newspaper announcing the new king of Wakanda or somesorts, would be enough to link them to the cinematic universe.

Spider-Man Reboot
In earlier years, Marvel had difficulty linking films together because they had licensed the rights of their characters to other companies. Which is why most of the earlier marvel movies somewhat failed in the box office. As for Ghostrider, I heard that they will be making a sequel, with Nick Cage reprising his role as Johnny Blaze. Good Old nick is a comics fan after all. Also, the reboot seems to be more of a recent thing because they had only established the Marvel Cinamatic Universe with Iron Man. So any marvel movies that comes out after that would be connected, which is why the need to reboot some of the characters. With the new spidey movie, I do hope that Spidey gets more wise cracking. I seem to notice that he lacked this particular aspect in the Raimi films.

Spider-Man Reboot
Hmm... seems like there are a lot of things that I need to clarify on the posts above. Warning, spoilers ahead! Firstly, Spiderman was never an avenger. He was only a reserved member. That is until that whole Civil War thing. So in a sense, after more than 30 years in publication, he only became an official Avengers member a few years ago. Also, the House of M didn't happen because Scarlet witch wanted children, it was because she went insane when she found out that her children were not real, and it was her powers that created them. Our resident Marvel guru Jerrygoodman can vouch for these.

Spider-Man Reboot
Since the Spidey reboot will deal with the early days of Spidey, I guess there's no way we can see the other big names in the movie. Unless of course they plan to introduce Spidey as a teenager in the present timeline of the cinematic universe. Recent marvel movies does seem to have a lot of easter eggs that we are not aware of.

One Piece
Since the vision was incomplete, I think what will actually happen is that Fishman Island will be destroyed with Luffy in it. Most probably due to fighting. Hodi Jones? Is this a small nod to Davey Jones? So, the new power ups these new adversaries is taking crack now? Hmm.... perhaps something similar to Choppers Rumble Ball.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon
Wow, you sure have got some amazing perseverance to analyze that complicated transformation sequence. I just cannot emphasize enough how ugly the transformation sequece of the bayformers. They have this industrial looking feel to them which makes them look rough and crude. Well, at least it's not Gobots transformation.

Well, you'd be surprised that this is my 18th post on your "blog". And yes, this might be a good avenue for us to continue with our little undertakings. "それだけ?" シンヤと言った、タカヤは忙しいに未熟テッカポッドの一ぱいタンクをにらみ付ける、誰もの話すは気付くなかった。 "Sore dake?" Shinya to itta, Takaya wa isogashii ni mijuku TEKKAPODO no ippai Tanku wo niramitsukeru, daremo no hanasu wa kizukunakatta. I'm pressuming that the tank you're referring to here is a "container" and not a "battle vehicle". If it is the latter, then simply replace "Tanku" with "Sensha".

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon
Clearly, the transformation sequence for the bayformers might be much more accurate compared to that of the G1 transformers that we all got used to. I mean, how in the world would Megatron, who is the size of a giant robot, transform into a small handgun that can fit into the arms of a human? I think that the problem with the bayformers is that the moving parts are too small that allows "cheating" thus giving the illusion that they can transform into anything they want. But comparing the toys nowadays and the toys of yesteryears, the transformation sequence is much more accurate. Buy a toy and you'll see that the robot and vehicle form of the toy are very similar to the movie version as opposed to those made many years ago. I think what the transformation sequence lacks is finesse. They are crude and ugly. Some hate the new transformation sequence because they are used to the slick movement of the parts when they transform. Whether they are accurate or not is something we cannot give a solid confirmation because we cannot see exactly where which part goes, only bits and pieces. They should learn a thing or two from the Japanese.

I think that the original purpose of a blog is to keep track of your own personal activities. it just so happens that there are people interested in reading the activities of other people. Blogs are something like an online diary that are open to the public. I myself don't see the merits of having a blog, but for others, this is another avenue on how they express themselves. Over the years, blogging have evolved into a form of information transfer, which somehow transformed the intention of bloggers to give updates instead of keeping track, which puts pressure on the writter to write much more interesting topics for fear of losing readers. Do pardon my intrusion.
