I finally get to post…

Since this is my first post on the blog, I don’t have too much to say at the moment. I am one of the web designers for Team Mixed Nuts. I’m usually responsible for updating the TMN website (and now the blog for Strawberry Scented Burnout). I do a little graphic and web design, but…

Liveblogging….am I doing it right?

We’re starting the first artist’s discussion right now.

雷光斬 – Raikouzan!

   There’s a storm brewin’.  Oh yeah, and Mass Effect 3 is out today.  There’s business that has to be attended to tonight, so stay tuned for some updates! Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious….I totally spelled that out without even looking at Eileen’s previous entry.  Did I get it right?   -Francis 

RIP Robert Sherman

In honor of Robert Sherman, famed songwriter for many classic films, I give you “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Sherman also wrote “It’s A Small World,” and was credited as lyricist and composer for films such as “Charlotte’s Web” and “Snoopy Come Home.” He died at the age of 86 this past Monday, in London. Side Note: Mary Poppins…

Just Around the Corner: 5&A Dime

5&a Dime from EQ Culture on Vimeo. For the past couple of years, I have been working w/the store 5&A Dime. Many of my friends would ask me what that store was and what it was about – some people even thought it was a bar because we have monthly parties where booze is usually…

岩鉄砕 – Gantetsuzai – Kento Rei Fang/Xiu Lei Huang owned a Chinese Restaurant too, y’know

In keeping with the whole “Ronin Warriors” theme, I thought long and hard about this blog entry.  Kento Rei Fang/Xiu Lei Huang was the dude that used the Earth armor, and his family owned a Chinese restaurant.  So…what better way to celebrate the guy than going to a full on Chinese Restaurant in San Diego?…

双炎斬 – Souenzan!

We of Team Mixed Nuts are never ones to back down from a challenge.  Our challenge was issued by a one @_francisr, challenging us to use every attack in the ronin warrior/Yoroiden Samurai Trooper anime series.  So myself and Justin are going to title our blog entries with attacks from the anime.  I started off…

Smileeee

Since today is a wonderful sunny day to lay in bed and do nothing I am smiling. So what better way to celebrate this then with a video of Aya Ueto singing a song about smiling. I know there are thousands of songs about smiling but…how many of them have an amazingly cute Japanese mega…

QUAKE WITH FEAR! or Jealousy

So by a show of hands, how many of you have watched Ronin Warriors or in Japan Yoroiden Samurai Troopers at any at any point in your life? I personally was a huge fan of the series. I always wondered what Armor I would don If I were an actual Ronin Warrior. What would be my Virtue?…

Martial arts and Me

I consider myself to be a Mixed Martial Artist.  Now, I’m not as big, cut, or as juiced up as someone like “Rampage” Jackson, “Bones” Jones, or even Wanderlei Silva.  But I do have the passion for the martial arts. Ever since I was 15, I’ve been involved in the martial arts in some way,…
