Con Piece: The Anime Matsuri Rodeo Round Up

Welcome to Anime Matsuri 2011 where you can find anime, manga, girls in hot outfits, guys in skirts and....cowboys? Well that what happens when you put your anime convention across the street from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Anime Matsuri went down during the last few days of Spring Break (March 18th-20th). There was clearly some problems that arose due to having the convention close to Houston Rodeo but it was interesting to have a mix of anime congoers dressed in cosplay next to people dressed in rodeo get-ups. Then there was the fact that this year Anime Matsuri had a cast of awesome voice actors that were worth seeing.

One Piece More: With the Pokey and the Man

So I think I may have a problem. My mind can't focus and it has been on my mind all week. I want to stop doing what I have been doing but I can't. I believe I am addict to it. I try to pull away but I just keep finding myself going back to it. Then sometimes I decide that I just take it for a bit. Only a few minutes. Fifteen or thirty minutes tops but then I find myself an hour later still doing it. I really don't know what is going on here and it is scaring me. Even right now my hand is shivering since I am not on it right now.

That is right guys....I think I am hooked on Pokemon Black.
