Body paragraph

Indeed, I am using an essay format to name my posts, for now at least. However, there is a point to that (not really) that I will mention later (first I need to find a reason). Actually it's because I could not think of a name for the first one and I just felt like continuing it here. Also, I was going to say some lame joke about a body of a paragraph; something that personifies the paragraph. Anyway, it was too lame, so I'm not going to say it.

Body paragraphs are supposed to do one thing: get the point across in a strong, clear way using evidence and explanations of said evidence to strengthen the point. That is not what I am going to do here. This blog post is simply going to underline some of my key interests (the ones mentioned in my blog profile). So, here I go.

Rawr. My main interest is anime at the moment. Anime is Japanese animation, like cartoons (American animation), but better. Ever heard of Sailormoon, Pokemon, or maybe Naruto? Well, those are anime. I have watched a lot of anime, but most of it I watched last year when I wasn't in school (I watched an average of ten episodes every school day last year). For a list of the anime I have watched and wish to watch, go see the link at the end of the post, or go to my profile and click "My Website."

I like all anime, even the girly romatic ones. Indeed, I am quite the emotional person. Anyway, anime for me is to allow me to watch something that I wish I could be a part of. It allows me to be a samurai, be in a Japanese high school with little adventures, pilot a giant robot, and much more. It's very fun and exciting. However, sometimes I get way into the anime and get stressed out when a character makes the wrong choice or jumps to conlclusions.

Anyway, another interest of mine are video games. I grew up with Atari at my Grandparents house and a Super Nintendo (SNES) at my house (I didn't get the NES until a few years ago). Super Mario All Stars was my game of choice; it was the rarer game cartridge that includes Super Mario World. Also, there was Kirby and Donkey Kong, and many others. Then came the gameboy, N64, Playstation, Gameboy Advance PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii, and finally the DS. I've played many games, but my favorite game series are Mario and Final Fantasy. My favorite game is Final Fantasy VI because of the great storyline, controls, emotional responses, and gamplay. Video games are definitely very entertaining.

Finally, I will talk about sports. I love sports, but I hate being on sports teams. I also dislike watching most sports (with the exception of tennis and volleyball). Even though I don't play on official teams, I do play sports. My favorite sports require a net and a ball; Tennis, Volleyball, pingpong, Badminton, etc. Not only are they my favorite, but I am pretty good at them as well. I'm an all-around player, so I am pretty athletic and can play almost any sports, but I generally like to stick with the net sports because they are the most fun for me.

Okay, so one last thing to talk about. McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Yes, I said it; Happy Meal toys. The Star Wars Happy Meal toys that just came out caught my eye and I have been collecting them over the past week. I have eight of them at the moment and I plan to collect some more. I hadn't had a Happy Meal since around 10-12 years ago, but when I saw the toys, I figured it was time to have the again.

Anyway, that concludes (foreshadowing?) this post. The only thing left for me to do is post my anime list, so here it is: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/jaythegreat
