Saboten!

So I don't know what many people would consider "going back to normal" after this long pandemic we've had, but for me, it's being able to have conventions again.  Oh my god, I am ready to go back to conventions, and it looks like I'm getting my wish as Saboten Con is on for Labor day weekend!  Saboten is the Japanese word for cactus, which is perfectly fitting for an anime convention in Arizona.  It's a smaller convention than for example Phoenix Fan Fusion, which got moved to January of next year, but it's something.  I am so excited about this that I've got a bundle of energy just thinking about it.  Seeing if I can get friends to go, debating getting a hotel room,  There's a Gunpla (Gundam Plastic Model kit) contest that I'm thinking of entering, though not with a Gundam, but a Frame Arms Girl instead, because that's more my jam.  But just the idea that we can have conventions again, excites me more than anything.

Time to Revive This

 Hello everyone, welcome to the resurrection of my blog, this seems a good time for that.  Dust off the old writing thing as it were.  Since I haven't done this for a while, let's start with a reintroduction.  I'm Tim, I live some where in the Southwest of the United States.  I have a lot of interests from Anime, Video Games, Books and more.  I'm going to try and avoid discussing politics or culture war stuff in this blog, but I apologize if it occasionally slips in.  These days it seems everything  becomes entangled in that kind of stuff, but if anyone asks a question, I will answer it honestly.  Anyways I'll be adding more posts soon, Just wanted to get this started again

Dreams

Dreams are weird when you think about them.  Like when you go to sleep your brain makes a movie in your head.  And that can run the gammet of fun, scary, or weird.  To be honest, 90 percent of the dreams I can remember run into the weird category.  Like I had a dream one time, me and my best friend were on a road trip to Las Vegas to pick up Medicine for my grandpa.  Why we were picking it up all the way in Las Vegas I'll never know, but there we are.  For some reason, I constantly have this dream I'm back in high school, but not at that age, no.  I'm the age I am now, (39 if you're curious) but I'm back in my shitty high school as if I never left.  Those dreams get annoying.  Another set of annoying dreams I use to have is when I use to work fast food.  I'd spend all damn day at work, come home, and dream I was at work again.  Then I'd get confused when I woke up.  I think the scariest dream I ever had at least that I can reme...

Let's try this again

 Ok, so it's been a LONG time since I wrote one of these, I kind of got.....not busy per say, but distracted, that might be a good word for it.  And lets be honest, as things went on last year, everyone got distracted, barely hanging on to there sanity. And some people did not hang on.  But I feel like trying to give this another go. So once again, this blog is just going to be my random thoughts on any thing that comes to mind, how ever, I do plan on starting a second blog where I will be reviewing Mostly Japanese Anime and live action shows, but I might sprinkle in some American stuff to, After all, I've grown up on and still watch a lot of American TV, especially older shows like M*A*S*H.  So Here goes Round 2, I hope you will join me.
