About: Late-bloomers. Being turned away or treated below human because of low social skills or lack of understanding "social norms". This commonly leads to self dislike. Which reminds me of this video

Personally, I don't feel a lack of empathy.

QUOTE
The people who actively oppose social justice in the movement are often brazen community leaders with nothing to blame but a sense of entitlement and a hatred of anyone who questions their privilege and preferences.

About Non-Verbal Learning: http://www.nldontheweb.org/

I don't know whether to be upset and sad, or the opposite. Just what does lack of social skills have to do with trouble in math or reading. I must be missing something else. "Social" as in everything fundamental in society? Including learning?

...tch. So I can be a hard worker but have limited coordination.

I'm starting to forget what's important. I knew something felt wrong, against my will, while reading books. From memory to comprehension.

This further makes me despise the online games that I've been in. I've been naive and very trusting towards people because I thought it was right. Turns out that's from the disease as well?

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.

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.

CYBER FORMULA OVA: In short
Photobucket


Like I said about two entries back, I finished the Cyber Formula series, both TV and OVA. The OVAs are as follows, in order: Double One (11), Zero Realm, SAGA and SIN. I'm a bit sad that it's over; but, OVAs lacked some qualities that made me like the TV series. Sure, series packed in OVAs usually don't last, and the art and animation is usually better, but seemed a little lazy. I had a problem with the races being...REPETITIVE!. Where the heck were the locations?! Each track was distinct and well detailed; in the OVA, it was like I was watching the same race. Not to mention, there was little obstacle or challenge from the environment itself, like hills or rain. Everyone's a seasoned racer, so you usually get crashes, passes, and tons of SPEED.

The DRIFTING! Looked ridiculous. Maybe I'm stupid, it looked so surreal that sometimes I wonder if the car spun out during the turn. Maybe it was the camera angle of the drift shots because it would get confused. Plus, you see it over and over again.

Often present in the OVA is his sad reality that your car can become obsolete. In TV series, the challenge was mostly Hayato's inexperience. In OVAs, it was rivals and their super car. The first ep in Double One had Hayato suddenly driving faster with willpower? o-O;

Also! The only female driver Marie Luiza, voiced by my lovely K-sensei (In games and CD drams) HAD NO VOICE in the OVA series. She was THERE, but no voice. I guess SIN was mainly focused on Kaga and Hayato, so the casting was condensed? DAMNIT! That would've been spectacular to see.

Other than all of that, the races are nice eye candy. They are intense, and so are the character's faces sometimes. See below, see below.

Vid Time!!!

Hmm, vid time. What to put down?

Let's salute Cyber Formula. Spoilers for OVA series (if you care). I picked this video because I love the song honestly. In the TV series, the song just made each episode end lovely. GO G-GRIP!

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.

Passion is a strength.

Cyber Formula & GARO
Slow, but I finished Cyber Formula SAGA. I watched one episode of Cyber Formula SIN yesterday. Aside from dealing with BAD subs, I don't think the I'm fully pleased by the art. Leon Earnhardt (who is Nobutoshi Kanna) just looks bad, Kaga has like no texture in his hair, and both Miki and Asuka just...I didn't like their designs. I can't explain it too well. Hayato's very handsome...

but unforgivably, THE GAME DESIGNS are W-T_F! Just wait until I find them! Couldn't believe what Hayato looked like >__<;

BTw, from the CF game "Road to the Infinity" (I think 3rd game), here's the Advance Phoenix. Totally sweet. ;) It's Mikami Touma (C.V Nojima Kenji)'s car

http://ogrean21.web.fc2.com/cyber/advanced_phoenix_t/advanced_phoenix_t.html

I forgot, did I mention that I was watching GARO? Geez, I didn't know I had much to go through. There's a second season called Garo: MAKAI SENKI that began last year.

The movie is called "GARO 〜RED REQUIEM〜" and there's a spinoff called "KIBA". Is there a second movie? Haha, the show's not afraid to do nasty things like ripping bodies.

Dad STATUS
He's doing great. He came home yesterday but with some permanent medicine. Still, I can't help but worry.

What's wrong with Human Kind?
So, I um...I watched shock videos.

Remember those reaction videos that I post? I saw some of the crap that they were watching ^_^: Not a lot though but curiousity kills the cat. Um, I only saw four:
* 2 Guys, 1 Stump
* Poo Button
* Pussyzapper
* BME Pain Olympics

Luckily, I got through all of them with NOT a lot of trouble. I was thinking about looking for Spankwire, but maybe I shouldn't. So far no trauma, no lack of appetite; photographic memory of the videos seem to be weak ;).

Here's another reaction video.

Dad went to the hospital again. It's strange cause he only was supposed to go there for a test, but had to stay over for more than a couple days (will leave Monday?) due to complications. Looks like he won't go with the surgery.

I'm conflicting. The way he explained how it worked, it didn't' sound trustworthy.

Again, we're not cars ^_^; But on the other hand, surgery may help him a lot. I don't want to go deep into the details, but I'm a bit worried. If he needs IV therapy then that means...

It could be worse (like my uncle. Mom's eldest brother). I'll go research for relief/understanding.

Taylor Sauer knew facebooking while driving was a bad idea.

The 18-year-old college student said so in her last status update: "I can't discuss this now. Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha."

At the time, Sauer was driving 80 mph from the Utah State University campus in Logan to visit her folks in Caldwell, Idaho, and was passing the time on the four-hour drive by messaging her friend about the Denver Broncos, according to MSNBC.com

Moments after her last update, she crashed her car into a tanker truck that was going 15 mph up a hill and was killed instantly....

..Oh! Pretty Pretty Miki-Shin in white suit!

I am listening to Akino Arai/Yoko Kanno collab music. I'm totally healed o^_^o

Akino can just go like "lala la" and it pulls my heart strings. Also, music of Kanno makes me think of the past when I used to rent and watch a lot of OVAs, or even outer space or NATURE? Or is there an undertone of peace...or darkness? Maybe because she used to compose music for shows such as Lodoss, Macross series, Escaflowne, Please Save My Earth, and Ghost in the Shell. I still enjoy the Wolf's Rain soundtrack. Also, Kanno is strongly connected to Sakamoto Maaya.

Anyways, hello Saturday. I wasted my week again. I told myself that I wouldn't, but I keep losing focus. Maybe I'm still concerned about my mother?

And for some ridiculous reason, I can't sleep well on the weekends. After Sunday, I'm completely lazy on Monday.

Second thought, I don't think I get enough sleep. Obvious when you have to babysit; the niece is working on crawling so I have to keep an eye on her often. Oh-my-gosh (><;;) Stop trying to break your head. did I ever tell you that I dislike her mother?

Around Tuesday and Wednesday, I was trying to write because occasionally I do online fiction. Lost confidence in my style and in my memory. I think I mentioned before that when I read, I have trouble remembering. So I've been looking for links on how to remember what I read.

How to improve Memory?
http://health.howstuffworks.com/human-body/systems/nervous-system/how-to-improve-your-memory.htm#mkcpgn=tw1

Loving what you read, knowing what you're reading about, and sleep is quite important I agree. What am I lacking or doing wrong? When I close the book, I find myself forgetting the phrases, clauses, quotes, etc. Basically everything related to a sentence, but I can follow the plot. Names take time for me to remember but not a big problem. Battles are a problem too (ie: Oh God, Gundam Sentinel...!)

Anyways, 2012 is starting off "interesting" I guess. Anti-Piracy and such, and apparently Twitter is going to blackout today?

Video and voice actor time. One thing I really love about Youtube is the ability to find just about anything from the past. Nostalgic feelings welled up when I found GI Joe videos. The antagonist Cobra Commander was known for being...well, sounding over the top?

This is the Commander from a G.I Joe Movie. According to Youtube comments, he is apparently voiced by Charlie Adler A veteran!
I love that dude! Also played various characters, that I'm not sure which character sticks out of my mind when I think of his name.

It'd be huge news, jar rank-and-file Internet users out of complacency, and serve as a turning point in the effort to beat these bills.

Several sites are considering going dark next week -- Reddit's already pledged to do so, but to have the impact it'll take to kill SOPA and PIPA, we need much broader support. A blackout by Wikipedia could be what finally kills these bills.

Will sign you on at right to urge Wikipedia to go on strike to protest censorship? (You'll also generate an email to your lawmakers, with the language at right.)

In early November, 3-and-a-half-year-old Duncan saved his best friend's life.

Duncan, a boxer, pawed and barked at his owner, Scott Dunn, until the man awoke to find the house full of smoke, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Dunn was able to escape to his truck, but heroic Duncan died in the fire.

We often hear stories of life-saving pets like Duncan, but what compels these faithful animals to perform such heroic acts -- love for their owners or their own survival instincts?

Ehhh~ Well, she's apparently doing great. She woke up; according to phone calls, she was being more enthusiastic when receiving visitors. I saw her this morning when she had the tracheal tube >_<; no kissing.. But it was removed a bit later in the day and she can talk now. I'll go see her tomorrow morning.

then she's getting some serious kissing service.

Eh...she was really in bad shape.

A lot of cleaning is in order before she returns home next week. I can rest easy now, I hope.

GUNDAM AGE & Macross
Because I got sick, I had to catch up on two episodes of GUNDAM AGE (didn't get back to Fourze yet). It still feels like an average show. It hasn't hooked me yet, but I guess I'm still going on because of my curiosity. I wonder what it needs. The AGE System is cool though. And Wolf (OnoD) has freakin' dog hair ears! LOOK!

I was wrapped up this weekend, most definately will be next weekend, and was so tired TODAY! I came hope, slept, and woke up around 11p...and I got to wake up at around 6 or 7 to watch the baby.

But, I thought of something today.

No matter how young you are, collect wisdom. I'd like to work on encouragement and spreading happiness as much as possible. Sure, I'm not always funny, and I probably should rarely try.

Even if you're Atheist or not, the Bible does show the same situations correlated to present time. Sure, no talking donkeys or huge whales, but ...hopelessness, anger, jealously, lust, tyranny...what would a person do against it? Talking animals, parting seas, super death floods, and man-eating whales would be a HUUUUUUGE problem today wouldn't it?

Which also reminds me, since it is Sunday, I HAD A flashback earlier today. Are there still Religion-based (or Christian/biblical) games being developed? And I mean video games.

I'm sorry Dan...

I have to wonder, should I take back what I said about "little crash fatalities"? Here's an article since i was curious: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11313

Also http://www.usatoday.com/sports/motor/earnhardt/list.htm

I was SO sure that they were "rare", at least considerably compared to common daily driving, but how much do they race? There is also time trials and practice. I would have to look into this more. Rules and regulations are applied even at high speed, that's why they are pro racers. And crashes really makes the cars really look like paper. Unfortunately, they have to be built that way. Same with aircraft. You don't want them to drag a lot right?

Hank Williams Jr. got fired by ESPN for an outrageous statement.

I don't think he should have been fired, but I think the comment was pretty silly. I might be able to explain why too, one simple reason being the compared figures' political paths reaching the top chair being considerably different.

Putting that aside, I love to watch documentary, and it still astounds me that we had World Wars, especially very close together year wise? Where did we get the money, manpower, and...mental strength? It also still astounds me that a guy like Adolf Hitler existed in the 20th century.

Random Silly Thought
I thought of something ridiculous again. I wonder who would be the non-English dubbing voice overs for Dr. Ruth.

Monster.com
(Sweat) So I went to Monster.com and while it's good at deducting results for you for job search, I seem to get a lot about the U.S National Guard. What am I doing wrong? It can't be that tough to find work?

As much as I like the military, I don't think I'm the type to join. Call me a bad American, but admittedly, I'm a chicken. and Camel Spiders would eat me alive if the Drill Sergeants don't

I don't like frustrating myself and getting worried over the future because many people out there don't/can't work, and don't get picked for work. It just happens. If I just get the right mind for it. Not everyone has a Masters, not everyone covers the requirements, etc.

So I was testing it out. It's fast-paced, there's a lot of groups too.

Gays in Military
So what's the deal with "Don't Ask don't tell"? What's the worry?

Meanwhile, a lot of women soldiers and aspiring officers get sexually harassed in the Air Force. What is disadvantageous about homosexuals in the military? So what, are they doing to do the Charleston in Iraq?

I think Gay men and women would be like any other soldier. If one made a move on you, just like the opposite sex, then perhaps that means...well, say you have a GF/BF/spouse already, and it won't work out. Am I naive about something?
