Come out of the closet...
Holy crap...back from the dead. Funny looking back on my style 2 years ago and comparing to now... I've gone from preppy douche to clean-cut and simple. I predominantly wear Levis and solid color t-shirts (mostly black) now.

Poll: Where will Pontiacs sales go
BMW of course! Actually, I was joking when I picked that, but was very surprised when I saw 3 others had also voted for it.

Say Hello to BMW's Newest Employee
I know. My car is garbage...I mean, sure, it is 10 years old with 150k on the odo, it is bound to have some issues...I still love it though. I don't think I could ever part with it.

For what it is worth, the electrical system on my bimmer has been perfect...well, sort of...other than dead pixels on the obc and the notorious dsc/abs control module issue my car is so prone to.

Iowa gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional
True...I've had plenty "discussions" with my Mormon friend about gay marriage. It seems he can never justify his strong opposition to it. The guy has a very large ego so it is enjoyable to prove him wrong and correct his misnomers, but the stubbornness is almost sickening...sometimes to the point where I do not feel like associating with him (it hasn't ruined our friendship...though I've grown apart from him anyway as out of nowhere he has become heavily involved in the Mormon church, and he has changed greatly...but I digress.) It becomes easy to see why people lose friendships over this stuff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that situation a field trip in which the parents had to sign permission slips to allow their children to attend?

What a day!
Bummer dude. At least you are taking it in good spirit. Hope everything works out for you. It seems the difference between me and you is I have a V1 (though still in need of a laser jammer.)

Facebook
I use it. Oftentimes I use it just to mess around and post stupid status updates, but I do use a lot of the networking functionality of it.

Am I alone in this?
I remember watching that on Adult Swim. That was one of the more odd, yet intriguing shows I have watched. It seems that you are making anime out to be the medium of which Japan makes shows in general as if they have few good actors or writers so they rely on animation instead (whether this is true or not, I don't know, but it seems that way.) I suppose in some cases it can allow you to be more creative, but it is also kind of a cop out. Granted, the styles of anime don't seem to vary nearly as much as the styles in domestic animation. I'll say anime has come quite a long way...the quality started out as absolute garbage...just look at speed racer. Or hell, even Pokemon today. There are goods and bads to every style of animation. A lot of classic animation styles were fantastic. While the character models seemed simple in some cases, body movements and expressions were very thorough, and many of the backgrounds were very detailed. You may (or may not) be surprised how highly regarded classics are...Hell, even The Peanuts...They were one of the most highly regarded, especially for their use of expressions. I do think a lot of today's cartoon's are crummy, anime, american, what have you...I also noticed some shows did poor anime spinoffs, or there was a trend towards anime based on "americanized" themes, such as "batman beyond" I think it was, or that Teen Titans show. One of my favorite cartoons was no doubt the Batman animated series made in the 90's. Oh, and I just have to bring up Shin Chan. Funniest cartoon I have ever watched, but the animation is the most atrocious. I think that adds to the humor though.

Am I alone in this?
I can't stand a lot of anime. For the most part, anime is just garbage. There are always exceptions though... I was into DBZ for a while back in the toonami days. I also got into Outlaw Star, Trigun, and Cowboy Bebop back in the early adult swim days. Perhaps I am a bit biased being that both my parents have backgrounds in classic animation.
