Created by Takashi Okazaki the Story of Afro Samurai follows along a Young warrior bent on defeating and dethroning his father's murderer in a world of Violence Ruled by the One wearing the number one Headband.
Along with his Imaginary sidekick Ninja Ninja (Voiced by Samuel L. Jackson), Afro Samurai (Also Voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) Fends off Bandits, warriors, old friends, and the mysterious Empty Seven Monks while on his quest for revenge.
I can't write summarizations.
I love this Series. The fight scenes are spectacular, the story is interesting and Samuel L. Jackson does not dissapoint. The world it takes place in has this strange mix of Asian and Rap Culture that, although may seem weird, I found worked really well.
Anyways, I can't do it Justice. Here's a clip:

Call The Hairstylist! Call The Deepsea Diver!
I went to see Spiral Beach at the Pepperjack in Hamilton on Saturday night.
"Well, was is fun, or what?" you might ask. I'd be inclined to answer, "yes! it was quite fun", and to do so enthusiastically. Really, they're a very fun band. They play an odd combination of highly theatrical 70's new wave (I think B-52s, for some reason) and high attitude post-punk. The result is something entirely new and refreshing. And not just because it's different, it's also really fucking good. I mean, it's killer guitar licks (entirely different from what you're used to), weird keyboard noises, crazy bass lines, dance-able grooves, and the male/female vocal combo that I'm always partial to.
They played my old favourite Voodoo, but mostly stuff off their new cd, Ball. After hearing sounds like "Astro Girls", I couldn't help but buy aforementioned cd. Most songs don't disappoint, my personal favourite may be "Man Moon", but a lot of the fun and theatrics of the live show is lost in the recording. Don't get me wrong, it's a good cd, and especially strong considering the relative youth of the band, but the strongest suit of this band is definitely the live show.

Unpractical toys for unpractical people
Probably the best investment anyone can make is Realestate.
Generally the value of land and the houses on it are constantly rising. There are a few tricks to maximize the amount of money made versus the amount of money paid in an investment like this as well. Improving flooring, windows and even adding a little paint can bring in a lot of money from prospective buyers.
There is another thing to add that, though a little unorthodox, will add a large amount of value to a house. That thing is a secret passageway.
Started in 2004 a Mechanical Engineer names Steven Humble Creative Home Engineering offers an amazing amount of ways to escape captors, Hide secret documents and just be that guy with a sliding book case (My favourite being the couch slide).
I think the majority of CHE's business is generated by the growing paranoia in America combined with an overwhelming amount of wealth held by people with no practical idea of what to do with it.
Anyways, check out their site.
