Well, today is my (mumnble-mumble)-th birthday.

Its a 'milestone' age (observant viewers can probably figure it out )

That probably explains why I've been in kind of a 'funk' for awhile now (probably since before my last vacation, when I went to the DragonCon convention).

For some reason I didn't enjoy the convention as much as I used to; I had thought it was because I had just been going to it for the past decade or so and it had become familiar to me.

Now maybe its because I subconsciously looked around and didn't see too many people my age there (well, except for my buddy who is one year older than me ^_^).

Its also probably part of the reason why I haven't felt motivated to do any of the requests I've promised various people lately (so a bit 'sorry' to those people).

For some reason, this birthday made me thing of an old video from the '80s by a band called "New Order" named 'True Faith': [link]

Back when I was younger this song struck a few cords with me (although I guess I wasn't that young when it came out). Still does in a way (although the video is full of 80s quirkiness [a humanoid punching bag signing the lyrics of the song?
).

I'll still be doing images, just maybe not this weekend (somehow Big Boobs take my mind off all my troubles for some reason ).

Well, its less than a week until Halloween as of this date, so I plan on doing as I have done for the past couple of years; doing one Halloween themed image each day (ending Sunday, when I see the Simpson's newest "Treehouse of Horror" ).

As to the update: See my blog for a 'naughty' continuation of the "Clone Warriors" image with Annakin and Ahsoka.

This leads to the "Jedi Musings".

From what I've gathered, it seems that Jedi are prohibited from forming romantic attachments because such attachments could lead to the dark side.

I personally think that's kind of backward; shouldn't forming a strong loving emotional attachment with another person help a Jedi fight the Dark Side?

Now, what Jedi should be taught is how to deal with negative emotions, which all humans at least have (and in Annakin's case, how to deal with loss if it should ever come).

On the flip side of this is how Jedi might handle sexual relatiosn/lustful feelings.

Again, such shouldn't necessarily lead to the Dark Side, but I could just as easily see a Sith Lord focusing on Lust, and perhaps gaining succubus-like Dark Side abilities because of that focus; there was a Sith in the game "Force Unleashed" who was focused on using Fear as a weapon, after all.

Hmmmm... think I'll put that "Darth Lascivious" idea on the back burner for now

I finally decided to go ahead and become a Premium member of DA; the main reason being that my gallery here was becoming too big, and I wanted to make it a bit easier to search by making folders for certain topics.

I'm s-l-o-w-l-y sorting the images (only to find that some I can't really decide where to put them ^_^).

Hope this helps viewers to my little section of DA

Well, back from the convention; and now what my friends and I call "Post-Con Depression" is in full effect (what happens when you realize the geek-filled weekend is over, and you have another whole year until the next one ^_^).

Here is a link to a gallery I made of some of the Hot Fangrrls, as well as some others : [link]

You'll forgive me for replacing my own face and the face of my friend with a "Smiley"; with the content of my blog I don't want to reveal my 'secret identity', or run any risk of getting my friend in trouble by being associated with me

As always, the worst thing about the convention is that they have so much activities scheueled against each other.

I did manage to attend a Leonard Nimoy panel (by getting in line nearly a hour early, and still only got a seat in the middle of the audience). A suprise in the panel was when William Shatner game on stage also to ask a few questions of Nimoy

There were costumes galore, and I atended the primary costume constest (the Masquerade), MCeed by Peter David and George Perez (a comic writer and an artist, the latter probably best known for his extended runs on the Avengers over the years, and the former for his 12 year run on "The Hulk").

On the more 'naughty' side of the convention, there was a costume contest called "DragonCon "After Dark", where the more risque/over the top costumes were displayed (not necessarily showing a lot of skin, but anything considered too extreme for the more 'family friendly' Masquerade).

There was also a late-nite panel called "Dub your own Hentai", where snippets of various hentai animes were shown, and people from the audience were picked to provide their own voice-overs (quite hilarious; one person did a perfect "Hank Hill" for example ). It was also, strangely enough, quite popular; they held two sessions because of the demand (only one was schedueled).

All in all I enjoyed the convention, although I don't think I will attend next year (it was fun, but not as fun as the first ones I attended years ago, so maybe its time to find another convention to attend next year).

Oh well; still have another 3 days off before desending into the depths of Hell again for another year (*sigh*)

Later today (Fri, Sept 4th), myself and a friend will be heading off to DragonCon, a sci-fi/fantasy/comic convention held yearly in Atlanta, GA: [link]

For most of the past 10 years or so I have attended this convention, although Fate (and funds ) has worked against me and kept me from going for the past couple of years.

Even this year its partially working against me (I would like to attend the entire weekend, but can only afford Saturday and Sunday). That's okay, though; most of the really good stuff occurs on Saturday anyway (many people only purchase tickets for that day).

I was able to borrow some really good cameras from a tech friend of mine, so I should be able to take some good images of all the hot Fangrrrls there (I'll post a couple here, and maybe nake a gallery elsewhere, although I won't be putting them up on my blog).

Ahhhhh.... an entire week of being away from my little Circle of Hell otherwise known as my job, and an entire weekend of being around "My People" (fellow Geeks ).

This is going to So Rock!!!! ^_^

There seem to be a TON of polls like this on the net, but this one is kind of different in that it contains both male and female characters (so it kinda relates to my "Night Angel" post earlier).

[link]

I'm not suprised that Gambit is so high on the list (he seems to be the male hottie for the fangirls out there [if anybody wants to see him, let me know; I might be able to pull off a close facsimile ]).

My top 3 choices would be She-Hulk, Rogue, and Emma Frost (as you can probably tell from my gallery ^_^).
