  1. RT @philo_quotes: It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. ~ Seneca That's why I only have one blog post a week! :)
  2. #DragonBall fans! Meet Joshua, a Dragon Ball fan that survived suicidal thoughts and dark times via the power of Goku: thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/fans/fan-…
  3. New blog posting, Dragon Ball Fan Focus - Joshua - tinyurl.com/cmh8pek
  4. @Shack_attack03 No, it just seemed like Goku died. Dramatic story telling.
  5. @Shack_attack03 You mean when he was drowned and saw Vegeta in the vision? I say no because he never went to the check-in station in Heaven.
  6. @Shack_attack03 Very cool about Taekwondo! DBZ does that to people. :) Falun Dafa is a peaceful meditation practice from China. The best!
  7. @Shack_attack03 East Asian Studies B.A. with a minor in Chinese. The about page and "author's story" sub page on there has more info. :)
  8. @Shack_attack03 Thanks, Braden. That's very nice of you to say. I hope so too, because I want to reach more people and improve the world.
  9. @blumspew Very cool. Can't wait to hear you in the promos again.
  10. @Shack_attack03 It was a long road of continually striving to be better, looking inward, trying to be Honest, Compassionate, and Enduring.
  11. @Shack_attack03 Thanks. Though I still think of myself as a struggling artist. Not exactly rolling in cash! But to answer your question...
  12. @Shack_attack03 I actually don't have the time for all of them at once, so I pick and choose which ones I want to work on each day.
  13. @little_rox DBZ is much better. Especially when you consider all the drawn out filler saga's in Naruto.
  14. @Shack_attack03 Thanks, Braden. Glad you liked the #DBZ interview article. I think it will become a favorite series for the fans.
  15. Working on the 9th draft of my Dragon Ball Z "It's Over 9,000!" Explained e-book. Getting better and better.
  16. @tallcanman @Reevothemusefan Ah, right! Make sure to get all the treasure up there. It's tough but worth it! Great game. Beat it 12 times.
  17. If you're an #anime or #dbz fan, be sure to check out my Dragon Ball fan interview. Just went live: thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/fans/fan-…
  18. @Reevothemusefan I've listened to the music in that series and it's really nice. Never played the games though. Glad to know they're good.
  19. @Reevothemusefan Congrats. Was it a good experience? So far nothing has beat FFVI for me, and FFT. I stopped playing after FFX-2.
