Happy Birthday Sonic the Hedgehog!

Sonic the Hedgehog Birthday

Today is June 23rd, which marks the birthday of our favorite blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog! Sonic the Hedgehog is known for his huge collection of fast-paced, platforming games, and more-so for being the mascot of Sega. Although Sonic has had his ups and downs, he still holds a special place in the heart of his long-time fans.

There are a few interesting traits about Sonic that make him pretty unique. For one, his ability to run and crazy speeds is his trademark. He's gone faster than the speed of sound at certain points. He also has a fair personality, which leads to him always taking the side of the weaker ones, protecting them and keeping evil at bay. Upon his older incarnations, he is mostly shown with his love of freedom and adventure.

With his birthday being on June 23rd, his astrological sign is Gemini. An air element of the zodiac. This goes hand in hand with his love of freedom and the constant theme of his personality being somewhat like the wind.

With being said, I feel that Sonic is a very important character to me. I grew up among many Nintendo games yes, but Sega always had a major role in a good amount of their consoles. Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 were probably my favorite Sonic GameCube games, along with Sonic Heroes which was the icing on the cake. I loved the adrenaline rush that came from his games, and eventually played a good amount of them. Despite ending up with a GameCube over a DreamCast, I have played mostly every Sonic game that has been released, outside of a select few that I haven't tried.

One of the most important things about Sonic is that his personality also reminds me of myself. Like him, I love freedom and adventure, and love to keep the world peaceful. In a way, he has been a role model or icon for me since I was young. His life-long partner Tails, is another character who I relate to a lot as well. Which is probably why I love the color orange quite a bit, along with blue!

So again, happy birthday Sonic! This make 24 years of awesome games, fun times, and chili dogs. Let's hope for even more success in the future!

The Key to Naruto's Success: Empathy

Image
What makes Naruto such a successful person? Many people have examined and discussed his different traits, his personality, and even the values instilled into him. Yet, I think that while we're looking at the core of Naruto's character, we've forgotten something really important. Naruto, has the ability to understand others and their feelings. He can sense the malice of his enemies and the pain of others. Naruto can understand exactly what they went through and relate, enough to become friends with the people he once called foes. While this seems very simple and straightforward, I feel this sort of understanding isn't a normal thing that everyone has. First, let's take a look at empathy. Most of us probably know exactly what sympathy is, when we feel sorry for someone else due to their problems. Empathy is a little different; it can be described as literally feeling other's pain or emotions. While Naruto possesses sympathy, I feel he also has em

Happy New Year from Shooting Star Dreamer!

Image
Once again, it's the end of the year! Throughout this year, a lot of things have changed for this blog and for me. Though it is harder for me to keep Shooting Star Dreamer consistently updated, I cannot help but make a New Year's post for you all. As New Year approached things have felt somewhat different than before. I feel that the anime community and anime in general has been changing, or perhaps even evolving. Whether this is a good or bad thing, I am not sure. All I know is that it has changed my approach to anime. (and my frequency of keeping up with anime) Something that has not changed though is my tradition of creating New Year's Resolutions. After thinking over my resolutions in depth, I do not believe they are goals to simply be met in the future. If these goals aren't met but are worked towards, then the progress and growth is still there. Completing the goal isn't necessarily the point of resolutions, its just to have a guide to work towards. A
