Doggie

A good last week, and I start off this week half accomplished and half discouraged. Sounds strange doesn't it? I was on a on-the-job evaluation for a couple of days and didn't make the cut because of physical weakness and pacing. Aside from that, I was told to have a great personality and that I pay attention to details. It was a lovely place too, people and atmosphere. I really wanted to work there; at least my resumes changes?

WHILE I understand this QUITE well and I carry no ill will, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I'm a little disappointed. I thought I just needed more time to make progress.

It was great to see niece overlord welcome me back when I returned.

Let me congratulate someone real quick: DANICA PATRICK! First woman to enter Pole Position in Daytona 500 qualifier!

I have to wonder. She has such strong physical and mental strength, despite being a racer. She isn't very tall and has little weight. I am similar to her even, and wanted to join the Sports Car club. Wouldn't my physique still be a problem?



GRRR!

Here's a song for her and me


Has nothing to do with encouragement or American football, but...it's still good. Gets me in a good mood. Apparently, it is a "reject" song?

Umm...

What this what I was looking for?

In 2007, teen shoots parents over Halo 3, mother dies
LINK: http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/12/boy_killed_mom_and_shot_dad_ov.html

In my entry about the Kindergarten school in Connecticut, I mentioned something about reading an article about a kid shooting his parents over Halo. I guess this was it; I was under the impression that the kid shot them because he wanted to pretend that he was playing Halo, not because they took the game.

Talk about me being blurry on the details. I can't depend on my memory at all.

Here's a flip fop: Distracted from video game, "Father" kills...

And apparently Vice President Joe Biden wants to censor video games? What, do you want the ratings to be Teens or less?

Bye Mortal Kombat

It's that time again for Midou Ban (above photo) and me. I just talk about myself; I am told to be pretty honest.

On the 17th of this month, we grow another year. Midou Ban is just a fictional character; as for me, I'm still dumb, judgmental, and private.

I wonder if anyone thinks of me as a "misogynic" (women contempt) for slamming teen parents throughout this entire blog? Because the majority of the time, I don't talk about the fathers, do I? I don't remember.

Teen parent dislike is on par with other negative prejudice such as misogyny, sexism, racism, homophobia, stemming from the wrong examples.

Shame that I know this and won't change; this is probably my worst prejudice.

If I say "sorry' for being offensive, it wouldn't be true at all would it? Because I kept talking about it in my blog.

Unfortunately for me, I have yet to find a good example of valued youth parenting. I will remain small-minded until I do. What I slam is irresponsibility and potentially endangering children. And yes, of course, adult parents too. It gets me upset when people talk about pregnancies being accidents, or they don't want to have children, OR they hide their pregnancy (not the bikini syndrome) or they say it's not theirs (ie: the guys).

Or even worse.

No, do not use the "A" word around me. Kids aren't the "A" word. I will not agree with it. I am not sympathizing with the infertile or "just lucky this time" misconception either

I also dislike PEER PRESSURE! Especially with sex involved, and young people are really in that department. Bullying!

Mom throws newborn in dumpster

This may not be a usual case. It's hard to say if the baby was alive or not before being tossed because it was premature. Still, it's wrong to toss a living anything in the trash.

I complain about it a lot because it is youths. I can't find respect in those who make something so natural look so embarrassing and so condemned, and use sex so carelessly. I also don't like it when children lack a parent or parents.

If you don't want children, don't do what makes the children, birth control or not. If you're not prepared, then what?

1.) 50% of U.S teens are doing it; about 33% preg.

2.) Many teens, especially boys, feel pressure to have sex before they are ready. According to recent research, some 63% of teens believe that waiting to have sex is a good idea, but few people actually do.

We, at a young age, develop a mature reproductive system. Therefore, we also have a young legal consent age and a young legal marriage age (younger historically). Also in the U.S, when you're 17, you can enter the military with parental/guardian approval. At 18, you can register to vote; depending on the state, you can be at least 14 years old to obtain a drivers licence. Those are other examples. Why was this set up? There's the cognitive potential that this can all work well. The potential of holding yourself accountable; you're at an age that you can make choices. That is all I'm saying. And no, I'm not saying force yourself into marriage.

I highly criticize my niece's parent because she is provocative and just not smart. Recently, she got into some public embarrassment. The majority of the time, during youth, you don't think about having kids. Niece's parents sure as hell weren't because they kept lying about it. That's a good sign isn't it? Hmm, I guess niece would not have had a father because the idiot kept lying.

They aren't influenced by parental expectations. I'd probably think differently if they did. And Stink-Pest has a terrible character in particular.

When you have children, it can disturb everything. I spent a whole year caring for niece and parents (both were sickly) because the brat parent was in school. You have to make changes; it doesn't entirely have to do with getting a job, stop the baby's crying, feeding it, and changing the diaper.

You're probably thinking that I should never have kids because I'm a hateful, shallow person. Moreover, I'd be a terrible parent, something that I highly criticize, because what would I do if my son or daughter had children as a young age?

I wonder if I'm going to regret not being THAT young. I don't have children yet. Maybe I'll be 35 or 40... Frankly, I can't maintain a relationship or children. Socioeconomic-wise, I'm pretty low. As for my self-worth, it isn't the best either.

But I am quite fine the way I am. Sometimes, things develop late. I would tell myself that I'm a crappy person for being "retarded" or the like, and I still feel like I have a lot to work on in my personality. But taking it easy is my kind of way and I don't like being forced to do things. When I put my mind into something, and like it, it's a strong point.

I want to be a good wife one day. A loyal person and a good friend.

This is getting to be morose so let's get to VID TIME!



I'm getting distracted by the Saint Seiya Series. After like nearly two years (?), I finally return to the comic series "The Lost Canvas", and I finally got into watching the animation thanks to deathlike's nagging. I'm a little ashamed of myself; the animation is nice and the OP is awesome!

The Rolling Stones's song "Paint it Black" fits this series perfectly.



I think hanagoke would be happy with me.

I'm tired. Throughout this week, I need to clean for Christmas dinner.

Sorry for going from posting a funny entry to a melancholy one.

I was going to post about it yesterday, but I guess I was occupied. Or maybe it bothered me too much.

Elem. School Massaacre in Connecticut

Especially listening to the kids explain what they saw and heard.

Makes me want to join the police.

I couldn't help but think "why" and "That is quite a shame". I think in MOST cases, children fatalities in school, of that age, happens because children bring a gun to school (edit: To show off). Not because of a raid from an adult; you don't think that someone is going to come in and shoot. That Adam guy had a ton of ammo...what was he thinking?!

It was a raid, and they were children. The U.S President said it better, "They had their whole lives ahead of them".

I also couldn't help but think about my baby niece, who I already feel is potentially in trouble because of her "mom" and the people that she associates herself with. She's not in school, but she likes being around with other people and having fun.

Another thing that bugs me, it's like I hear/read it everytime. Shooters or crime instigators are often described as "reserved" and "quiet", or "wouldn't hurt anyone".

Does that mean I'm a potential killer? Because I don't speak much?

As for my week, I had a break for the first half of the week; second half is house construction. A little difficult; also, tune-up for my awful car.

I'm still quite concerned about employment. If I want a really nice b-day gift, it's to help my mother. And I had the biggest brain fart yesterday. It just proves how hasty that I can be and makes me worry.

AGAIN! AGAIN! Another Friday is here; I predict another boring weekend. I already wasted this week. There's one thing that I have to work on, and that is avoiding sweets and soda. Also, buying small things that I don't have to such as cocoa. I love cocoa and ice cream, but I don't need it.

Yesterday, there was a tiny bit of frost.

ELECTION DAY!
Election Day (Tuesday), Michigan turns blue and U.S President Obama achieves a 2nd term. When it all comes down to it, you vote for what you believe in. Of course!

I think the moral of Tuesday is "don't insult the country". I virtually hear the same thing from each side, and you wonder if some of things that are said are totally real. For example, prejudice about immigration, and the remarks about "fake rape" (ugh...).

Maybe I have to admit myself that there are people who do think that way, and can get into positions of power. To tell you the truth, my prejudice for teen parents, which I would complain about on here, really is out of dislike. It's especially increased because of a particular person in my family. I say this to admit it openly.

One thing that annoys me about Republicans and/or Conservatives is that they assume that a ton of people wants to be "government dependent". U.S.A is founded on the idea of independence. But why let government service exist? We always need a government; I can't imagine, especially here in U.S, anarchy or the like. You could say that I take the government's position for granted. It's there long before anyone, and U.S is still a young country.

Another thing that bothers me is the really unfair insults towards the U.S President. You're probably thinking, "The previous presidents were gravely insulted as well". Even George Bush Jr. was called a "Nazi" most likely due to being so steadfast to his beliefs, especially on facing terrorism. He would veto the Congress bills if he were against them. Of course. That probably can be said for everyone.

Current U.S President is Democrat; opposite major party, from musicians to radio personalities, make a living out of making him look like swill. Identity is questioned, he's blamed for many things, called anti-American, etc. Only because of polar opposites? You need to use anger, manipulation, and prejudice? I don't appreciate people being called Anti-American because of their political preferences.

Don't be like me with teen parenting.

Annoyed #1
Playing Pokemon Conquest (PKMN: Nobunaga Ambition), I noticed that I can't seem to think ahead. Tactical RP game where I have to move the character and make sure that the moves can hit, or if the enemy can't hit me. Often it ends up like, "Wait, no! That's not it." or "No, wrong spot."

Maybe that's why I'm playing it so much. Training, progress, I hate losing, and I want to read the enemy and grow my army.

Curses Pokemon! Curses! Reading a lot about Feudal Japan, maybe I should try out the original "Nobunaga's Ambition" one day.

Annoyed #2
Writing! I hate thinking up something interesting, then I end up at a block...
My trail is straight-forward, and then it's like, "Wait, why would this happen?" I like cause and effect. Maybe it's my attempt to try and make everybody guessing. I can't seem to do it. Developing background feels so difficult.

VIDEO TIME!

Maybe it's too early to do "Doggie Week", but I predict boring days ahead. I was positive on Monday and Wednesday, but it feels like I haven't maintained that positiveness. Nearing the weekend, I feel a little down, because I feel that I haven't done much. And in most cases, I babysit on the weekend. Babysit and faith-checking weekend.

Throughout this week, strangest dreams. Pokemon, death, Saint Seiya.

This week's most notable news: Hurricane Sandy.

Pretty much, Eastern Michigan received some heavy winds and rain. More later since I'm occupied

August!

I spent last week recovering form my cold. Not much was happening, and the Olympics began! As soon as I got better, I was back on my feet and driving again, grabbing groceries, cleaning, etc. Sheesh, lack of rest.

Because July was terrible, it's like I forgot how it felt to be healthy. Still, I feel like something is missing.

Also, I need a new TV.

And you know you like twitter too much when you openly talk about constipation and diarrhea. I'm looking at you K-sensei. I wanted to tease her so badly..
"So, did ya go?"

Also, I watched and finished MACROSS Zero. Beautiful and strange; I watched it a long long time ago but never finished it. Shin Kudo seemed selfish at first, but that changed rather quickly. Omg, I love dogfights, especially F-14. That's quite not nice to put a F-14 against a variable fighter. In this case, the SV-51s, but Shin actually lasted a good while. And we learn that flares are apparently immune to OTEC weapons ^^; Takayama Minami wss Nora! ARKAN?!

I wonder if SV means Sukhoi Variable. I'm still...not completely used to CGI.

And, I remember that I can have really really bad curiosity (related to SCHOOL DAYS video game), and I can get really bitter when it comes to shooting deaths.

Video time!

Am I immature for liking this?


Macross ZERO's first fight!

Hi! I'm here with dinner! HOT DAY!

I wanted to be a soldier once...but why? Furthermore, would I have had the fortitude and the dedication to be a real soldier? Would I be able to face the social pressure of peers? Would I have another smarts and focus to handle my career?

Being a pilot is quite a demanding task. You have to be an officer, which requires (?) you to have a bachelor's. Or maybe I am wrong? There is officer academy, but I am thinking about the demands of being a fighter pilot.

This lady did something extraordinary...

MUSIC!

LINK: Losing a Daughter in Combat

Read more in the link.

It’s tough for most Americans to learn much about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that the U.S. military has waged since 9/11. So it’s all the more important to pay attention when combat chronicles – and their impact back home – surface.

Anna Simon covered the 2004 death in Iraq of Kimberly Hampton for South Carolina’s The Greenville News. She became friendly with Kimberly’s mother, Ann Hampton, after writing a series of articles about Kimberly. The pair chatted with Battleland via email recently about their book, Kimberly’s Flight: The Story of Captain Kimberly Hampton, America’s First Woman Combat Pilot Killed in Battle:

How did Kimberly N. Hampton die?

Ann Hampton, mother: Kimberly was flying an OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter above the outskirts of Fallujah, Iraq, providing cover for ground troops raiding an illicit weapons marketplace when she was shot down on Jan. 2, 2004.

She chose to lead her troops on a mission she knew would be particularly dangerous. It was a mission others were slated to lead. While her death left her father and me with a hole in our hearts that will never heal, she left a powerful legacy of dedication to her mission, to her troops, and to her country that fills us with pride.



Thank you Capt!

Mentioned here, I was looking for that story about the brave little boy. I found it.

LINK: Jason Smith, Kansas City Boy Who Saved Brother During Double Homicide, honored by police.

;_; Good kid. "I didn't want him to go through the same situation."

The police department in Kansas City, Missouri held an awards ceremony Thursday to honor Jason Smith, a 10-year-old boy who saved his brother's life during a horrible home break-in that left his mother and grandmother dead, Fox 4 News Kansas City reports.

Smith is the only person not employed by the police department to receive their prestigious life-saving award, which they bestowed in honor of his bravery and quick-thinking last summer on July 28.

Smith's ordeal started around 1:30 a.m. that morning, when he and his 2-year-old brother Zion were asleep with their grandmother. That's when Rufus Young, their mother's ex-boyfriend, burst into the house with a gun, KCTV reports.

Young shot the boys' grandmother while she was holding Zion in her arms, and then turned to find their mother, 36-year-old Naushay Riley. The boys' uncle Robert Hauer explained what happened next.

Should he get such an award? Or maybe I should ask, would you have done the same thing?

The comments expresses it enough: MY HEART OVERFLOWS.

Everyone knows how futile a feud is, how ridiculous and useless and nearly impossible to resist. A feud is as primal and irrational as falling in love, which is why there's no talking to people involved in one.
