Let's try this again...
Ok. Reset.
So.... here I am, bringing the site back from the dead. Not sure what my current constituency is or will be, but for those that were not visitors before, a little background. I used to run a movie review site here at HellNinjaCommando. Specifically, it focused on asian movies (mostly HK and Korean, but a few Japanese movies thrown in for good measure). I did fairly well for myself during that time period, especially as there was a good community in that area. We even put together an "alliance" to protest Disney/Miramax's (under the direction of the Weinsteins) butchering and re-dubbing of asian films to which they had purchased the rights. Got some national attention and we like to think that some of the recent changes in viewpoints from the Weinsteins is at least partially attributed to our efforts.....
However, I finished college, moved to Kansas City, and kept updating the site for a year or so before I got busy with work and other things in my life. I let the rest of the web pass my little corner by, as they all went Web 2.0. All these kids with their blogs and MySpace pages and whatnot. Y'know, back in my day, we wrote regular (non-dynamic) html pages in notepad for viewing in Netscape Navigator 3... and hosted them on free Geocities and Tripod accounts. And we liked it. Up hill, both ways. Yeah - frames, now those were hot shit. Hope your browser supported them, cause all the cool new sites were using 'em. Didn't wanna get left behind. Ok, enough of me being an old man (in internet years). I have an archive of my old site, so in the future I may give some peeks here and there at some of the old content... if you care at all.
Anyway, past being the past, now I've got some changes happening in my life (we'll get to those another day). It's given me some motivation. So, I'm back - I'm ready to express my self. Not like one of those emo kids or anything, but just to shoot the shit and talk about the random crap that I think of (don't worry - not all of it). I might talk about life and the universe and existentialism.... or I might talk about my bathroom habits. Could go either way. Games, movies, and sports will surely be recurring topics. Just whatever - random stuff.
By the way, please excuse the plain-ness of the site at the moment. Still need to take some time to devote to really designing it out. For now, I just tried to get a decent color scheme and I'll be happy with that for a while. Maybe this weekend, I'll get to play with it some more.
Lots of things to talk about from the recent past. Election in full swing again, for better or worse. Oh, and the Cards.. my boys in St. Louis... interesting winter for them. I'll need to devote a whole separate post to my thoughts on this off-season, especially in light of the recent Rolen-Glaus trade. But, I won't blow my whole load right now. Gotta save some topics... spread them out, cause I'm sure I won't be all that inspired every damn day. My life isn't that interesting.
Well, I've wasted enough minutes of your life for now, if you've made it this far. I'll leave it at that. So, uh, bye.... or something.

Welcome back to the world of blogging!
As for the Cards, forget about them. You are in KC now. It's time for you to be a Royals fan for the first two games like everyone else.

Stefan, you must never become a Royals fan. I may have to disown you if you even think about it. Anyways, can't wait to see what you have to say later on.
