Well, it is July 4th when our founding fathers gave birth to this great nation, basing it on individual liberty. Sadly today, individual liberties are not what they once were thanks to an ever-expanding federal government deciding what is and is not good for the people.

July 2nd, 2010 
AstroNerdBoy Angel Beats — Some Last Images From Japan While there will still be fan art coming from Japan (especially hentai doujinshi), this is the last batch of images coming from the TV series. To get things started, lets go with the humor, which there wasn’t much of. This time, it is “tease the characters” with
(Music) Yoshida Brothers — Rising
July 1st, 2010 AstroNerdBoy I mentioned that I was introduced to the music of the Yoshida Brothers at the 2010 Denver Cherry Blossom Festival.

June 17th, 2010 AstroNerdBoy I had SOOO intended on being productive, but to tell the truth, I needed a down day to do N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Well, OK.

Piracy Wars: The Customer is Wrong! (or "How Dare You Want Something Other Than What We Graciously Give You?")
June 14th, 2010 AstroNerdBoy Piracy Wars: The Customer is Wrong! (or “How Dare You Want Something Other Than What We Graciously Give You?”) Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. –George Santayana This quote has been on my mind of late.
