I can't win can I?

Now sure if I can say if I should be more upset with myself or just how things are processed. I have little money.

All of this could've been avoided if I just had been more observant, but I rushed because I was too determined. This often happens. I rush because I wanted to do something so badly, and I was upset with being too distracted. I would have a plan laid out, but it isn't effective or isn't agreeable because I did not see holes. I did not one single important detail. That one detail or two would elude me for some reason.

And this is often the route to embarrassment.

....I would've been less upset if I had known sooner.

Back to square one. I hate myself sometimes.

On the good side: D.GRAYMAN has returned.

My week starts rough and ends rough. I had an ugly 'hate dream", which I didn't want to agree on, and my Sunday started rocky. Now I wonder about myself, and if my dream reflects myself. Or didn't I say before that dreams are mostly negative?

I almost didn't want to go anywhere.

Anyways...back to the title.

America is, apparently. And Britain isn't happy.

I'm sure most of us dislike war for obvious reasons, and either inside or stated openly, we have conflicting reasons over why we should go or why we should not go. First I thought, I agreed with what John Kerry said Liberals liberals, Lib-tards, whiners, dumbass, huah huah huah with "speaking to us [the people of the nation] for an answer" at the start of the announcement. I couldn't hear everything because I was in my car on a short break, listening to the radio.

Did America, and myself as an American, wanted payback for 9/11? Yes. Do I dislike violence? Yes. Do I like self-defense? Yes. Do I like to see innocent children and medical personnel get killed? NO! A one-track mind. Even in Hetalia (Axis Powers ヘタリア), America is portrayed with a "justice loving" stereotype. There's also a ton of other Japanese manga/anime and games; one that sticks out in my memory the most is my bro GALFORD from Samurai Showdown (Samurai Spirits) series! =D

But the question is: Why help Syria? Is America the Superman of the world?
And what would our image be if we did nothing?

Oh BTW,

( More tipping politics scale. No idea why I was rambling about mentality )

I am not denying anything. I guess someone has to do it. Right needs to punch the Left radicals and Left needs to the punch the Right radicals. Wouldn't call it "news".

With that said, 50 years ago, MLK made his "I have a dream" speech.

I'm putting up a photo of Kaze Tachinu because:
1.) Airplane!
2.) Hirokoshi Jiro looking cool
3.) It's flat out cool
4.) Miyazaki Hayao's passion and pacifist beliefs
5.) I want to watch it

So Miyazaki is getting criticized for worshiping Hirokoshi as a hero. The movie is a tribute to the warplane engineer, his dream, and his struggle during the Depression and 1930s earthquake. Miyazaki spoke against the Prime Minister and his idea to revise the Renunciation of War of Japan's Constitution. Miyazaki was also against "re-writing the truth" (aka: reading only what we choose to know).

Banning of "Barefoot Gen" in children schools

I can't say anymore until I watch the movie. But, since Hiro was willingly building warplanes responsible for the historical incidents that make Japanese and Koreans alike sensitive, what is Miyazaki's view? What am I missing? Is it just Hiro's desire? No matter what his Zero fighter did?

Vehicles are flexible and don't have to be built as weapons. Even though, I TOO think that fighter planes are pretty darn cool. They maximum the effectiveness of aerodynamics, and look pretty sexy while flying.

Also, Miyazaki is retiring? Naaaaah, you wouldn't do that would you?

Which reminds me, I am writing a fictional story about a pilot who loves flying. He graduated from Officer's training and eventually became a fighter pilot, because he was inspired to love fighter planes. After a match against a rival, he mention that non-simulated air combat will be the test he needs to further pursing his flying craft. Before that, he questioned why America went to war and what did it mean to "be an American"?

I'd complain but I don't feel like it right now. What do you think?

Questionable or not, these are addicting videos. Very well made. It's like I'm watching documentaries.

Father told me about the Superman curse...



Which reminds me:

I was just searching and surfing the net, and wanted to find the names of the collossi from the game "Shadow of Colossus".

( Name of Colossus )

It's FREEZING!

Anyways, just a little blogging today since it's late and I'm tired. Tommorow, I'll talk about some more gundam, Baccano, Wiki, comics, and just 2010 stuff.


Maplestory
Main Article: MAPLESTORY

BIG BANG is Tuesday! And it's probably going to have a lot of bugs, OR it's going to be delayed.

I'll name my first guild, for my Page, "Brave Guard".

Before Tuesday, I want to fight and beat Balrog at least ONCE.

Driver's Safety
http://leadercall.com/local/x878581343/McDaniel-introduces-Nathan-s-Law
Nathan's Law: Created by the parents of a boy who was hit and killed by a car after leaving the bus stop. When you're not supposed to drive past a bus when it had its stop sign down.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_motor_vehicle_collisions

I noticed I'm into driver's safety. Of course, I had, and I said HAD, radical radical thoughts that teen drivers shouldn't exist cause of prejudice and stereotyping. But, then how would they get to work or college? Still, the main message I'd like to pass is to be a very considerate driver and not treat a car like a play toy. Also, let's avoid drunk driving/dope driving.

I always had an high interest in cars. Been that way since kid days with motor sports.

In 2002, one of the leading causes of death is Road Traffic Deaths (for people of ages 5−14, 15−29, 30−44).

Dog time!


And CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OP (COD:BO) become highest selling game of this year.

This Week's Economy Vocab: Revenue and Capital

First step to getting rid of ignorance is to restore interest in the subject.

And I finally watched the first ep of Gundam Unicorn a while back.

====

I had another terrible dream like four days ago? If I recall, it was something equivalent to a hostage roundup in my family (basically, terrorism...); it was during the night too, that made me more scary.

Anyways, I read the first book of BACCANO: The Rolling Bootlegs. It was fun and I wish I could read more of it. I also wish I could have more patience to read. I read a book, I like it, but I can't get myself to finish for some reason.

When I come back, I'm going to try to summarize what I wrote.

Also, I watched a compilation of music themes from Gundam Series.

I didn't know the theme for F91, "ETERNAL WIND〜ほほえみは光る風の中〜 (Hohoeme ha hikaru kaze no naka)" was really popular. I'm glad, it's really nice. Feels sad too. I think I'll watch F91 when interested.

BEYOND the TIME is damn awesome too. I liked the majority of them.

I didn't expect to like the themes of Z Gundam either.

Back from Illinois/trips (t-storms)
It is Wednesday now, but I returned Monday (a little after midnight) to Michigan. Thursday, the power went out for the second time thanks to a T-storm so it was difficult to pack. So I tidied the place on Monday. I went on a trip with family, including aunts, older sister, and brother in life.

My aunt told me that she saw Transformers 3 filming around downtown Chicago, even Shia LeBeouf. And that was the reason why there was a ton of Saturday traffic. Lucky, I was around Milwaukee Street and Michigan Avenue and saw nothing! I heard that they'll be filming in Detroit too. Don't tear it up too much and no crashing into the Renaissance center.

Father said he never took me to Niagara Falls so I may be going there next month?

On the trip, and shortly before leaving I realized a few things: That I have trouble accepting the influence of God after seeing the behavior of other believers, that I have no patience for the very conceited, and really just don't have much faith period.

I should leave it that. Religion can be a sharp subject.

Reading
I wanted to regain a stronger ambition in a hobby.

Rented a bunch of books to see whether reading not only increases your knowledge but supports brain muscle. My issue has been that I thought that I had a bad memory and understanding. One book is on Detective fictions; it could be a lack of focus, thanks to noise and such, but I find myself having to read sentences over and over. I think I only reached twenty pages in just one hour or more than that. I also get annoyed when I see words that I can't remember or don't know the meaning to it at all. Maybe the sentences feel long-winded.

Despite the trouble, it made me remember a little why reading books is fun.


Entertainment
Here's some voice actor/actor stuff that I came across. Let's start with Katsuki (♡), and her revenge! I've been a little concerned because I have few ways of figuring out where she appears. But! According to 81 PRODUCE, Masako will appear in the Japanese dubbed version of Cats and Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore. And it turns out, that is she is Kitty Galore herself. "HA! HA! HA!"

You know what I love about this? Kitty is voiced by Bette Midler (♡) in english version. That's not all. I couldn't help but I remember something way back, whether it was here or elsewhere, when I had said how much Katsuki REALLY LOOKS like Bette Midler! Coincidence?. Another cool person, Tessho Genda will voice Butch! BUTCH!

The Japanese site has a trailer too. I felt like I heard Takagi Wataru in there too! Speaking of him!

This is slightly old, but he appears in the Japanese dubbed version of the game ALAN WAKE. He voices Barry Wheeler. Takagi does plenty of dubbing, game voices, animation, I can't keep up.


Kazuya Nakai...there is something that has been long on my mind but didn't mention - How I'm affected by "dubbing syndrome".

Mr. Swordsman Nakai plays Travis Touchdown in the game No More Heroes, the Heroes Paradise version for the XBOX360. While his voice and others weren't bad, I feel a sense of incongruity too much. You hear the English version too much, and you expect Travis to sound like a complete teenage dork. Second thought, he was well portrayed in THAT fashion, a tough teenage punk. Nakai..well, was not that. Entertaining though. Isn't that the most important? At the VERY LEAST, Nakai plays a moron well enough so I won't fully bash it.

The bosses were strange as hell too! Holly Summers is voiced by Fumiko Orikasa, who originally sounded tough. She sounds more seductive in Japanese. Second thought, she does sound like she can lead you easily into a trap ;) (I'm looking at you Travis). Sylia and Shinobu sounds fine I think. I think Bad Girl (Sanpei Yuko) is right...

I don't expect them to imitate the original probably have Takeshi Kusao/Fukuyama Jun all the darn time to voice these Justin Timberlake/Chris O'Donnell brats.

MAPLESTORY: Enter the Shadows!
http://maplestory.nexon.net/

On Maplestory, the ninja-like Dual Blades (explorer type) appear on Global version! I already have a name for mine in mind: shinpūji yai. Many of my names are English and based off of something with virtue or nobility. So far, I have an explorer (Fighter), A cygnus knight (archer), and an evan.

For Shinpuuji, I think it fits nice. The name is from three symbols: 真風司. Dictionaries are fun.

The first means "true", second means "wind", and the third means I think for an officer. Something like to preside or manage? "Yai" is from Yaiba, meaning blade.

There's a ton of bugs and maintanence, so I'll make one tommorow morning.

==

That's all. I'm hungry. Power loss spoiled some of the food.

I thought I had it figured out. You know the number postfixes for aircraft (ie: X-53, F-18, A-10)? I wondered how they were ordered.

I thought of two things:

1.) the numbers had to do with how many different aircraft models were accepted into each military component (ie: Air force, navy, marines) .

2.) Amount of models designed by a single manufacturer through the years (it: boieng, McDonnel, GD)

but either doesn't seem to be the case.


For example, the F-16 had its first flight in the late 1970s, but the F-111 was designed and comissioned to the U.S Air Force in the 1960s. Both are ships from GD, or General Dynamics.

Other than that, it was a nice sunny day. Hopefully the upcoming week will turn out good.
