Remember my Writing Meme?

Like I said, I am not confident in my writing that much and I don't like exposing it as this is not a writer blog. Some people tend to create blogs that exclusively contain their writings.

So, why the change now? I thought I should try, take a step. Also, I can't receive constructive crit if I don't throw myself [what I propose] out more to wider eyes. Seriously, I don't promote anything, so little reception that I get usually depends on how popular the fandom is or maybe the story summary.

Another reason is for selfish reasons? Because I have a good feeling about this new "project" that I have in mind.

It's called Uzumaki.

NARUTO fanfic, which I thought I wasn't going to do because the fandom kind of annoys me, but the thought of a re-telling was tugging at my mind too much. Also, the comic seems to be nearing the end? It's at the final battle. So, after a long time reading NARUTO (and being disappointed at some of Part 2's direction), I've decided on this.

More later.

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 was wondering if I should even blog about this because I am a naive person when it comes to societal functions. If I did, it'd be political and I'd be called named such as "thug supporter" and "libtard" (whatever that means).



CNN:George Zimmerman found not guilty of murder in Trayvon Martin's death

The above video, and a talk with a co-worker, made me wonder. My mother said, "it's all in the evidence".

I don't like racial prejudice. Frankly, it's quite simple to call bullshit "prejudice"
, or it's quite simple to accuse Zimmerman of using prejudice because of what he said on the phone. Plus, he should have not have gotten out of the car.

I don't agree with this final judgement, so I wonder what everyone was thinking.

Aside from this, babysitting is making me grouchy. The munchkin has a big mouth.

I haven't blogged in a while so maybe everything looks a bit messy. I can't read either. (u.u;)

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.

Another year is here, for Ban and me.

And I still never posted a single photo of me on the net, much to the annoyance of some people.

Today is also WRIGHT BROTHERS DAY! When Orville and Wilbur set the record for having the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight with their airplane. What a honor. Surely, it's just a coincidence that I like planes as much as I do.

December's an interesting month. Winter starts (U.S), but also my youngest sister's b-day was on the 7th, there's also Christmas, and my dog's b-day is 12/23 (Met her Jan 2001 ;) EDIT: Jan 2000.). Also, I can remember the attack of Pearl Harbor easily, but just saying it was "ten days ago from today" ~.~; Which happened 70 years ago!

About BLOG and me
I made this blog on Christmas, seven years ago. I am surprised I had it for this long.

I think changing my layout would be nice. May need to fix my Memories, make sure they're in order.

INTERESTS: Did some looking over with my profile's interests. I thought I had too many seiyuu names. For example, while I like Hideo Ishikawa, I rarely speak about him. I think I talk about Takayama Minami (and TWO-MIX) much more than him. I also had game titles such as 'Legend of Dragoon", which I haven't played in years and left the enjoyment way in the past. Also, anime favorites listed. Ton of character names like Piccolo, Samus, Sanosuke Sagara, etc.

I read about crime a lot, and both war and crime documentaries seem to really grab my interest.

2011: More me
Like I said in a previous entry, the start of the year started out peaceful, then I started exerting myself, then everybody got sick around the end of the year. Mother for the past few months has been having health trouble. It's like the dog is more healthier than anyone.

- Shared my Sonic the Hedgehog memories

- I run katsuki_masako after some urging (and a dream?). Recently, She's been playing the new Monster Hunter 3G, and she gets lost and keeps burning her meat while cooking.

- I think I've learned how to be more patient, and more accepting about myself. In the future, I want to be more reliable. Maybe be a wife one day.

VIDEO
After many years, and right around midnight too, I once again beat BREATH OF FIRE 3! and its ending theme is just so beautiful. It's called "PURE AGAIN".

Video contains some spoiler art and gameplay footage. stupid Archmage

Back.

Today, I'll post about MOTHER3 and Sonic, but I have to figure out what game for the latter.

First is MOTHER3. I finished it a month ago.

The Tagline of MOTHER3, which is seen above, is the following:
奇妙で、おもしろい。そして、せつない。 (Strange, Funny, and Heartrending...)

Thank you Shigesato Itoi.

[ SONIC MEMORIES ]

Ta-Da! My instruction booklets of Sonic 1 and Tales Adventures. Real ones!

Tales Adventures was for Gamegear. Little guy knew how to build stuff. ;)

Time for some music!



Okay, my good memories of Sonic the Hedgehog. I'll take my time and span my thoughts through different entries.

Let's start at the beginning with the first game, Sonic the Hedgehog or simply Sonic 1 for the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive.

I put in the cartridge, turned on the console, then BOOM! Sonic appeared on the screen in pretty 16-bit color waving his finger. When you press start, "GREEN HILL ZONE! 1" slides across the screen and then you were off, running for a couple of seconds, jumping to catch rings, and across the fish-infested bridge. Back then, I don't think there was such a fast-paced game.

The Sonic 1 game came with my Genesis when it was first purchased. I can't remember what pulled me in, I must've watched footage of the game in a store. All I know is that after I started playing the first game, both Sonic the Hedeghog and Sega would become icons within my "game life" for years.

Sonic 1 has very simplistic gameplay. You had the start button, D-pad, and three jump buttons. All you had to do was move, pause, and jump. A strength of Sonic 1 was the flow of the speed on a 2-D stage, the game giving you this loose freedom of running so quickly across loops and inclines and the camera following you perfectly. Something was great about that. Another strength IS THE MUSIC of the game, and I don't think music from the Sonic games has waned. Sure, I'm not that big of a rock or pop fan for the comtemporay music of today's Sonic games but some are still entertaining.

Hardest Level was probably Labyrinth Zone, ugh. Or maybe Scrap Brain Zone, which is the last level. Labyrinth had a terrible boss too. I know when I last played Sonic 1 (couple years ago?), these stages gave me the most trouble.

In my opinion, the bad things about Sonic 1:

~ This goes for Sonic series in whole: Drowning and the DROWNING music. Also, water makes you sluggish.
~ Special stages for Chaos Emeralds. You're in a rotating confinement that changes speed. It can give you nausea and it's tough to navigate.
~ Labyrinth Zone's boss
~ Collecting 50 rings in later levels (to get to special stage).
~ Spike pits.
~ Prone to falling in Starlight Zone and Scrap Brain zone

I think I only beat Sonic 1 two or three times with all of the Chaos Emerals.

I'm also very lenient when fighting the last boss.

DOGGIE CONTROVERY!

Here I go again: Capital Punishment
LINK: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=287954

Had a somewhat busy day today and I'm drowsy from the rain, but it looks like it will heat up to 50 F!

Anyways, something cool...

Through the entire last week, I had been inspired by hope and my Writer's Block stopped momentarily.

Also, once again, I have been surprised by my ability to research and when I push myself to find what I'm interested in. I made myself happy when I find knowledge from different sources connect. When they connect, that means it must be right and I'm following what I read. And!! Ignorance decreases!

( Dun Dun DUUUN! )

Also, I'm nervous about Libya.

This is a big big "Duh" but I'm going to say it, then I can come back and remind myself anytime.

Now I see why I like History so much.

It's nothing but a big web. It is entangled to economics, war, anthropology, evolution/progress, politics, etc. And it must explain why I get enticed by all of those too.

Back then, what were we into? Trade, fighting, absorbing different cultures into our own...conquering, etc. I think I read this everywhere, and it shows how people think. I guess that's what I like: The aspect of People .

I can't believe the BIG BANG is on its way, apparently next month.

( Onto a scary topic )

But I know one thing, I don't want to see anything similar in my lifetime

I don't want to be a downer, but sometimes these news bits are interesting. Where are we headed?

http://www.aolnews.com/crime/article/suspected-militiamen-charged-with-plotting-to-kill-officers/19417964

Michigan controversy!

There's also the news about the teen girl suicide, whih also caught my interest. Why? Because bullying is a big deal and has onsequences. It prompts anti-social behaviors. Earlier today, and I don't know if it's the same girl, there was this video about the girl's family being trolled with awful messages (ie: "How's it hanging?")

Thee was also the girl who was beaten into a coma by a kid over a text message.
