Hey, sign this petition for me, ok? Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
And don't forget to scroll down and check out any stuff you may have missed over the past few days.

Update: I'd like to thank (G.I.) Jack for being the only person so far to sign the friggin' petition for me. Much appreciated my friend. Hope the shoulder is doing well.

As most of you already know, I really love Mega Man. However, most of you probably don't know that there is currently a Mega Man animated series airing in Japan based on the Mega Man Battle Network games for Game Boy Advance. Since the game will probably never be a big enough hit over here in the States to merit the show being brought over here, I felt it was in my best interest to get some copies of the show straight from Japan. After a few minutes of viewing these shows however, I realized that I do not, in fact, speak or understand Japanese. I then set out to find subtitled versions of these same episodes. I was able to complete this mission with a high level of success. And since my victory is your victory, I thought I'd share the actual translation of the Rockman EXE (as the show is called in Japan) theme song....
Guide your Navi towards the future!
There isn't anywhere we can't go!
You and I can soar past the wind!
A mystery is spreading in the heart of town.
The clues to the elusive reality are slipping away.
Can't sit still any longer... Want to find it now.
Plug in your courage and plunge forward!
It's becoming urgent... We'll solve that puzzle!
Oh Rockman, together we'll find the answer.
Even if we have to battle on till the very end...
I won't give up... as long as you're there, I won't give in!!

Take a look around your room, or house, or wherever it is that you're reading this. I bet the walls are looking like they could use something new and exciting on them. How about some posters? Or perhaps these posters?

I just added a new photo album to the Pictures section of Hip Today. It's at the bottom of the list, labeled Random 3. You should go check it out.

And now, let's hear from Seanbaby on Green Lantern: Green Lantern's ring was the most powerful weapon in the universe except against the color yellow. I'm not kidding, his weakness was the color yellow. You might think he'd try to keep something like that secret, but there is nothing Green Lantern liked to talk about more. He'd wave a fist at the bad guys and shout, "Justice will prevail today, villains! Unless you learn that my power energy cannot affect that which is yellow!" And to make Green Lantern the most unlucky person in the universe, his nemesis Sinestro had a ring that made things that were yellow. That's like twin brothers fighting, only one gets baseball bat with spikes and has a giant purple head.

I got an e-mail a few days ago from someone telling me of a band that was going to be coming here very soon, but I can't remember who sent it to me, or what band it was. So if you were that person, or if you know of some good bands that are going to be coming here soon, please please call me or e-mail me and let me know.

Also, in other music related news, the good people at 94.1 The Buzz have been good enough to listen to my requests that they start playing Weezer's Keep Fishin' more often. This pleases me greatly. So if you're in my area, keep your ears open for it.

Why aren't we talking about Ninja Gaiden?
Come to think of it, why aren't we talking about Strider either?
And here's some news that's sure to please Chris McCarver.

You know, I had heard that this whole Dance Dance Revolution thing was earning it's title as it was truly becoming a revolution of the dance dancing variety. However, I had no idea that the people that were telling me this weren't lying until within the course of a week I saw these machines in every arcade I happened by with throngs of sweaty teenagers huddled about them like apes around the Monolith in 2001 (A Space Odyssey). And since this revolution is now upon us, I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't help you get to know the people you'll be facing in the Dance Dance Battles that are sure to take place much sooner than we would hope.

The all new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon debuts on Cartoon Network this Friday, and I don't think I should have to say anything else about the subject. I'm going to trust that you're intelligent enough to know that you shouldn't just want to watch it, you should need to watch it. Here's three pictures from the show for you to check out as well.

Or you can join the Captain Planet Foundation.

How'd you like to win a trip to see Def Leppard in concert, front row, all expenses paid? How'd you like to take me if you enter this sweepstakes and win? Well, you had better like it, because if you win you'd dang well better take me.

Since I know you kids look to me to help you form your opinions on what's good and what is not in the world of music (I'm kidding of course), I felt it was my duty to make sure all of you know about two bands.
The first one is a band out of Alabama whom I have been a really big fan of for quite some time now called Pain. You should be able to check some of their stuff out on their site, but if you can't listen to any of it just go ahead and buy one of their CDs from their merchandise section. It'll be well worth it I assure you.
The other band is Kevin Martin and the HiWatts. For those of you that were Candlebox fans (I count myself as a very vocal member of that category) you may recognize that name. Regardless of whether you recognize it or not, or if you liked Candlebox or not, you should check this band out. Choice rock and roll my friends.

You're a kind and gentle person with a dark past that haunts you. But you find happiness in your friends and by protecting the weak and oppressed. Let's face it. You kick ass!

For those of you that didn't get to make it to the San Diego Comicon this year, but would have liked to, here's a nice rundown of all the cool (and lame) toys that were on display this year.

Speaking of rundowns, it's time for me to start with my promised re-telling of some of the antics from my recent trip to Florida. First up on the agenda is a little bit of business that I'm going to give a brief set-up. I had a yellow legal pad with me in the car, and as we were driving down, Danny said something really funny and I said "Holy crap, you've got to write that down." So for the rest of the trip anytime something funny would be said or a funny town or business was seen, Danny would write it down. So here are some of the highlights...
From Noon to 5 AM it's ballz out for Krystal!
The Frankin F'in' Mint: We know you want this Monopoly board with gold pieces and this knife with a painting on it.
(as we were in or approaching Birmingham) I don't give a Birmingdamn.
Carol's Act of Faith Hair Care
Sneaky Pete's
Mr. Bottle Shoppe
Gay Week's Flowers
(as a Volvo big rig passed us) Danny: I want a Volvo Big Rig. He's probably got a kitchen in there.
Godfather's Pizza
(after seeing a sign proclaiming the Ultimate BLT was available at Arby's) Danny: I've searched the seven seas, for the Ultimate BLT.
(as we were entering Atlanta) Danny: We comin' up into Hotlanta, straight out of Pimpfis, TN.
(to the tune of Big Pimpin') Q-Tippin' I be cleanin' wax, Q-Tippin' I be playin' my sax
Danny: I'm the Coleslaw king of Sea World
Splendid China Theme Park
Vote for Dr. Karve
Big Rascal Pit Bar-B-Q

More to come...

As I was driving a few minutes ago I realized that I've seen a lot of good movies here as of late, or within the time frame of this year or so anyway. My point is I felt like listing as many of the good movies I've seen that I feel are worth you checking out: Panic Room, The Sum of All Fears, Lilo and Stitch, Death to Smoochy, A Beautiful Mind, The Bourne Identity, Reign of Fire, Insomnia, Ice Age, Signs, wait I just blanked out... umm.. well crap.

Speaking of Signs, I went and saw that flick with Corey on Tuesday night, and it was as good as he said it would be. I'm really not going to spoil any of it for those of you who haven't seen it, but I will say that I wouldn't recommend seeing it if you are the type of person who gets movies stuck in their heads like I am, because I've been scared to be in my house by myself at night now ever since I saw it. Really, really well done flick though. Maybe too well done, the guy (writer, producer, director M. Night Shm.. I don't know how to spell it) is a freakin' genius.

Wow, I've really slacked off on the site since I've gotten back from Florida. I apologize to both of you who check the page out on a quasi-regular basis for being so busy that I've neglected you. I'll try to make it up to you starting now with a link to a wallpaper of possibly my favorite picture of Superman EVER.

I'm still working on figuring out my new camera and I haven't had a chance to figure out how to upload pics to the site yet, but as soon as I do (which could be in the next few minutes) I'll let you know where and how you can check them out. Until then you can check this out.



Which Rocky Horror character are you?

Well, I'm back, and boy do I have stories upon stories to tell, but tht'll have to wait for tomorrow because I just got in the house after driving for 16 freakin' hours. I drove the whole f'ing way down and back...if I wasn't before, I'm definitely a man now. So yeah, I'll get to the trip stuff tomorrow, but for now here's some random stuff to try to make up for the time I was gone.
The Herculoids, Thundarr, Ninja Turtles.
Thunder, thunder, thunder...
Seanbaby versus the Robots!
The newest addition to my family tree, my uncle's newest kid, Jack Haley.

Well, kids, by the time most of you read this I'll be long gone either on my way or already in sunny Florida, "America's Wang", for a well deserved (I think at least) vacation. I'll miss you all, and of course I'll miss making your lives just a little hipper. If at all possible I'll update the site while I'm down there or on the road. See you again soon, with lots of pictures and tales to tell.
Much love,
Chris Haley

p.s. Don't forget to remind me to tell you what famous person I met today at work when I get back.

Which cartoon character are you?? Find out @ blackhole

I didn't even know they were making King of the Hill figures, but sure enough, they are.

Hopefully all of you didn't miss Weezer on Letterman last night like I did.
Well hello Mister Fancy Pants, it's the Bruce Campbell Soundboard.

"So take me in your arms again, meet me in my dreams again, so, what is it worth, I'll sell my soul, what is it worth, only you know..." - Ash, "A Life Less Ordinary" (I mean come on!! How awesome is that?! What else do you people need?)

Since I know he (along with the rest of you) will be reading this I just wanted to say that it was a pleasure finally meeting Jim last night... even if "cancer" doesn't start with an (Andrew W.) "K."

I rather like the new background in the "Pictures" section. There's also a pretty cool new Spider-Man picture up today.
And now a mess of other cool comic pictures: The Punisher, Ultimate Iron-Man, Mr. Fantastic, Batman, Supergirl(s), the World's Finest, the JLA, The Thundercats, Tom Strong as well as a cool gorilla.



Take the
Which Christian Bale character are you?quiz

I know this could very well change at some point in the future, but for the moment I'd just like all of you to know that if I should die before I have a chance to say other wise I'd like for my tombstone to say, "I Got Wet Without Even Trying." In a cool but dignified font if possible. So yeah, if I die anytime soon or before I've said I want something else instead be sure to tell whoever is making my tombstone arrangements.

In other news, flying dinosaurs terrify me. Also, good for BMF Samuel L. Jackson. I liked him before, but now it's even more.

If you're in the mood to hear something good you'd probably never hear otherwise you can click here to listen to "My Way" by Butch Walker (the former frontman of Marvelous 3) from his new album, Left of Self-Centered.

I just saw that Jimmy Neutron movie tonight, and it was pretty funny and pretty good at the same time... if such a thing is possible... and it is.

Finally something for the Super Monkey Ball fans!

I saw Reign of Fire last night, and I don't know if any of you give two monkeys about my opinion, but if you do I'd definitely say go see it. Best dragons ever. Christian Bale would make a good choice for Batman in the upcoming Batman vs Superman movie (as other websites have already noted). I'd defintiely go see it again. Speaking of movies I'd see again, I've seen Lilo and Stitch twice now and I'd probably go see it again as well, if I didn't already have tickets for Lil Bow Wow's basketball opus, Like Mike.
