I am still amazed as to how big Star Wars is though for me it has been a part of me since then and seems an everyday thing rather than some huge phenomenon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is John. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The username Megatrends comes from the name of my radio show which airs heavy metal on an FM station here and is titled Megatrends in Brutality. The Neighborhood Psycho is my on air DJ name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to thank another DJ, our own beloved DJMaul here on the blogs for coming up with my blog title.</description><language>en-us</language><item><title>Hasbro's new BMF (Big Millenium Falcon) review</title><link>http://blogs.starwars.com/megatrends/24</link><author>megatrends</author><description>Hiya kiddies!
