This was going to be titled something completely different, but since I am now writing this on the day of Easter, why not, eh?
I have returned from Arizona! Well, I have been back for a week, but I haven’t been able to update until now. But, for good reason. My week has been very rocky ever since coming home back on Monday. In preparing for the week ahead, I had to take care of some listen minute issues that were plaguing me since my return. Wrestlemania was an amazing event for many reasons. It was Shawn Michael’s last match as he has since retired from the wrestling world. I had the pleasure of seeing a man, who did it all for the wrestling industry; Michaels will be missed as the “Main Event”, the “Showstopper”, and of course, “Mr. Wrestlemania”. Not only that, I managed to see another great of the wrestling world have his own closure. Bret Hart; if you know the industry well and have been following Bret’s career, you would know of all of the hardship that Hart went through. But, this is not a sour on Bret’s career post. This is a triumph for a man who also gave his all to the industry and gave Vince McMahon what was coming to him since the “Screw Job” back in Montreal in 1997.
Truely the grandest stage of them all!
Absolutely breath taking!
However, that is not all. It is amazing how weird this week turned out. When I get home, there was more to the week than just a normal return home. It’s time to get all dressed up for Anime Boston 2010! Now, I am not a anime fan. Not in the least, but being a good friend that I am, I traveled into Boston to get a glimpse of all to see at the Hyne’s Convention Center in downtown Boston. What I found was that there were a lot of people…or things there. Not just things, but people cosplaying as characters from their favorite anime, video game, comic book, movie and television shows. This is actually the coolest aspect of the whole show. Going to this expo and seeing all of the cosplayers in their costumes is truly an amazing site. Now, some of the costumes were really well done, while others lacked the necessary fabrics…and well, the look of the character. But, that’s just being very nitpicky on my part and a bit shallow. It was still funny to see some of my friends show up in costume and really sell themselves as the characters they were trying to display.
While the conference was cool and all, it’s just not my thing. I was in a sea full of anime lovers and to be honest, I am not an anime fan in the slightest. I did manage to catch up some cool video game related swag, but other than that, it was merely ho-hum for myself. It was still a fun time and had fun, but again, not for me. With that, here is a few pictures of a couple of cosplayers in action!
Big Boss salutes as he gets his title.
I have no idea...
Well, that was my week! What a week it was too! So much to see and so little time I have to do it! There was another big event that happened yesterday and that was the launch of Apple’s new iPad, which looks to be a smashing hit right now, as usual. I will have my thoughts on the iPad (I don’t have one, but I thought I would post something about it) as well as more on the game project I am working on which will be the focus of my blog for the long haul now. See ya, everyone!
