"I hear you and totally understand where your coming from, although I would not have cussed him out so boldly though. When I take the public transportation (which I hardly ever do since I bought a car). I PAID for a seat so I don't have to give it up. Anyone who wants a seat should have got on at a stop before me don't you think? It's just like that old saying goes, "first come, first serve." I don't give a damn about "proper etiquette or whatever", people of all ages have their own problems to deal with and it's very unfair of most old bags to have this set predisposition of thinking that they earn the right to sit down without every having to offer or give up their seats. And it's "young" people's duty to do it/make the offer.

I've had a similar experience myself a while a back. Their was a young lady that came on the bus with a stroller and I'm guessing that the child was a little over twelve months, also fully pregnant. I was sitting in the mid section of the bus and everyone automatically looked at me to offer her my seat. But I didn't! And you should have seen how some of them sneered at me, but I didn't care, and would you believe that not one of them offered her their seat? And they were expecting me to do it when they did not (a$$holes). "

The end of the world 2012?

7 months 3 weeks ago

"I personally believe that all this history is a misinformation campaign from NASA! It all started when Dr. Robert Harrington of the U.S. Naval Observatory has some theories about the probable existence of Planet X. Some years later, he left for an expedition to New Zealand from which he believed to be the best place to observe it. After some months of research and observation, he died from a mysterious cancer shortly before announcing his findings. The whole story died with him, and if you look for official information on Dr. Harrington, you will read that he had already discarded the possibility of this planet a few years before their dispatch. After some years, in 1997, has surged a comet that became famous as the Great Comet of 1997, the Hale-Bopp. Many people believed that this comet was on a collision course with our planet, and even for some time the space observatories were worried, because it really became very close to Earth. Indeed, if he had been here 3 months before, the possibility of a direct collision would be very large. Many comments were made on the comet, and even mysterious about the lack of official information and photos from space agencies regarding it, many other independent and amateur astronomers began to make comments on their own. One independent astronomers photographed what appeared to be a "company" of the comet. According to this picture, it would be a much larger company. This photo was discussed in the Art Bell's radio program, a major critic of NASA and well known in the United States. Few days later, 38 people from a sect called "Heaven's Gate" was found dead by suicide in a house. According to official information, they committed suicide so they could reach such company of the comet, which they believed to be a spaceship that would get them. But the real story was not that well.

Once the news of these deaths came, Art Bell was blamed by the media to have disclosed to this picture and hence the death of those people, and soon after the NASA confirmed that the photo was false, and that had been manipulated by the person that delivered it to Art Bell. That was a big hit on their behalf, and unfortunately he has not been able to defend itself, since he died of the same mysterious cancer that killed the scientist Robert Harrington. But the photo was genuine, and this whole scheme had been manipulated by NASA and the U.S. department of defense. The "disciples" of the sect were not really religious or anything like that, they were systems developers, and were creating a system of encryption and firewall that even the computers of the office of U.S. defense could break. Were killed one by one in the house where they were found, one after another while going inside. Pictures of the comet and his company were left at the crime scene, and a fake site was created immediately about them. And from there, the whole scheme was created in 2012, because those pictures and information regarding the comet were true, and many other more important things could still be found.

After some years, the name zetatalk appeared on the Internet, according to its creator, Nancy-some-thing, she received telepathic messages from extra-terrestrial beings, which in 2003 warned that a large planet known to us as Nibiru was coming to our Solar System, and would bring with it the apocalypse. Many books and DVDs were sold on the subject for this site. Some time later, Mark Hazzlewood released books on the same subject using data taken from the site zetatalk but eliminating the telepathic contact with aliens to make the story easier. Many other books and DVDs were sold by him. Of course nothing happened, and now these same people returned to their sites and their books, but this time with a new date: 2012, the year in which the Mayan calendar "ends" and when the holy city of Shamballa would make visible again. It is logical that it is the same campaign which took place earlier. And in that gap of time between 2003 and 2012, much material came from the Internet."

Its not like having sex makes you a better person or makes you magically better at something,people that look down on others just becuase someones a virgin is of shallow mind.

Do you think the base nature of humans is evil/bad?

7 months 3 weeks ago

"I would say at the individual level, humans are essentially neutral until they develop one way or the other. And if my memory serves me well then I believe that it was Socrates that said that there is a root of evil in all people. Real "evil" is when we act upon that root. It has always been thought that there is evil in everyone, yet every person, every society, every culture has a different idea of what being "evil" really means. Socrates also said no one can know good yet choose evil; if they do an evil act, they mistook it for a good one. I've done a lot of research on the topic of good vs. evil and the most common thing I've found is that there is no good definition to the word evil and that evil actions are not morally justified.

One's upbringing, environment, etc. often influence morality and different morals may be seen as good or evil. Hitler thought he was doing the right thing in his purge against the Jewish people because that was his belief, his moral. Does that make his acts evil? Debatable. I am not saying I personally believe Hitler wasn't evil. Everything I'm telling you is theory; I don't think there is a real answer to your question. I suggest that you read Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. It's the prequel to the Wizard of Oz. Though fiction, it raises many good points on the ideas of good and evil."

Believe in ghosts?

7 months 3 weeks ago

"I'm not sure where I stand on the ghost belief. I admit that I have seen some scary things, but I'm not sure yet that I believe it. There are probably some real psychics out there. But, even real ones can't bring people back from the dead. People started believing psychics could bring people back from the dead when two sisters (have forgotten their names, try googling it) claimed to be able to do it. This caused years of panic and people were very excited and went to see these sisters. After seeing the mass outbreak of all these people interested however, the sisters admitted that when the "spirit" was talking to them by taping, one of the girls just cracked her big toe, an odd talent. Even though they were phonies, psychics today still claim that they can talk to the dead. Really, most are just smoke and mirrors.

It's the same theory for Heaven and Hell. I would like to ask you or anyone, where exactly are they located because I didn't see any heaven when I finally reached the clouds and I'm certain that a lot people didn't see any hell when they drilled into the earth. Heaven and hell are old wives tales from the early days of civilization to scare their kids into being good. And then it got tied in with Christianity. Limbo is a funny word. I don't believe in that either though. So, in summary, ghosts may be (might even be probably) real. But, all these religious aspects that you tie into ghost, in my mind, aren't. That's just one person's opinion though."

Clannad The After Story

"The series was good and the storyline is equally good, but still reading the visual novel would lead to a better understanding. For one, the readers, need to finish the original route (where Ushio died) before getting the REAL ending. This is because in the novel, it was revealed that it was really Ushio who wished she can change the fate of her parents, which is why the illusionary world was created in the first place. So the world is actually: Reader goes through the story first time – Ushio dies – she creates a new world – readers does another round – she helps collecting the orb – Real end!

It works in the visual novel as you have to go through everything all over again, and by then, you already have knowledge of Ushio's existence AND her wish. The anime meanwhile only had Ushio for the last few episode, thus her link with the girl in the imaginary world is not as prominent, not to mention that it was shown as Tomoya who wished for a better life, not her. The theme is good, family, and not just any family. It shows that the whole place can be your family if you learn to love it. And for me that by itself balances out the last episode nicely. Tomoya's interaction with Nagisa for me was by large the strongest of any other characters in the series, as Nagisa who finally opened his eyes to the importance of a family, and thus which is why her death and Tomoya's acceptance of Ushio was so tear jerking."

"Man the ending was... alright, I found it interesting enough, they spent on the idea on a 1984 like setting (Not exactly the same, but the manipulating of media and using a front like A-Laws and the Federation is something like the 1984 theme of big brother for season 2). Well.. at least they explain a damn bit about Season 1. It was a plot that could have been more expanded. Perhaps a +C to a -B just for not working on it more, but still wrapped it up quite nicely. The fact that they keyed in on that random purple hair girl probably means she's significant... even if it is for the movie. Marie and Allelujah just hiking on the mountains gave me... ah? So you’re coming back or not?

I thought the Gundam O could do so much more with the GN Drive. Guess not. Thank God Tieria is not coming back (unless he’s back for the movie or the so called Dialogues), out of all the pilots who improved, he improved the least. I guess its a heavy unit, but still do something better like damage them a bit in the very least. Maybe, someone should insert more mobile suit training combat for him in Veda. What seems to be left out for me is, the fact that they didn’t expand to the rest of the world in the end, so everyone can understand. Even it its designated once a year, it would have really emphasized the point that understanding brings peace. Oh well, the movie could be the explanation or expanding on making more GN Drives for the future (I’m pretty sure that O Gundams GN Drive is destroyed or at least partly damage from where the sword thrusted, so no more OO for not). I salute you Gundam 00, Thanks for making my Sundays enjoyable and intense with fights "usually". I say usually cause it didn’t always. Please make the movie excellent to watch Sunrise... Perhaps, hire better writers and do it earlier for the next TV Series, cause God you had so much Potential and just didn’t use it. As I sniffle and wave see you until I want to watch you again Gundam 00 (hard drive XP), its time to move on to... Cat shit the animated series... I think!"

"As much as I like Ribbons, I'm really actually dying to see him fall especially after that clone army crap. It's so obvious that he's going loose as that dickhead son of bear is tagging along behind Revive, in addition Setsuna and Saji are channeling Kamina and Simon respectively with their spiral powered 00 raiser, whilst the best Ribbons can manage is amuro rays voice while he hides behind his clone army like a coward.

And as for Feldt, cut the girl some slack, she’s had it rough (being born in Celestial Being for starters, her parent's being turned to soup by an exploding GN drive, frequently dragged along on Christina's "shopping trips" having to deal with a drunkard for a captain, and being sexually assaulted by lecharous Lyle whilst having to babysit desu-yellow. A lesser person would’ve cracked under all that) plus she’s been genre savvy enough to avoid any death flags. Watching captain KFC shit himself and try to run... well waddle away from impending death made me laugh, and it was nice to see Kataron finally do something besides be cannon fodder as well as see some flags and enacts score a few kills for a change."

"This anime had me expecting some super romance but after watching it for so long it should simply not be in the ‘romantic comedy’ genre, Really. I am no longer able to spot the comedy elements in this show. Instead, viewers are simply “rewarded” with a plethora of angst driven situations and cliched occurrences. The oh so predictable Taiga x Ryuuji end certainly seems set in stone from the very beginning. You could tell that the development between both of them were the strongest throughout the whole series, seriously who couldn't tell this would happen in the end? By all means, I want Minorin to be with Ryuuji, but damn you Ryuuji for having second thoughts just when Taiga confessed unconsciously to you.

I mean, Taiga might have confessed, but I guess I can see why since he was rejected from Minorin already. What a pity that Ami has left the stage to become little more than (an amazing) supporting character. Looks like the writers who are making this show won’t have a happy ending for her from my perspective. Even Minorin whom I used to like quite a bit has been ensnared into this black abyss of angst and lugubriousness. Well, I’m glad the show is ending and at this point it really does not matter who he ends up with although it's pretty obvious that it's going to be Taiga!"

Claymore's Ending

8 months 2 weeks ago

"I honestly was a bit disappointed at the end. The fights were amazing, but felt quite lacking, especially after reading the manga. Even if I were to judge it purely on its merits, it makes all the previous build up kinda for naught. Why did Riful appeared in the series in the first place? Did it make sense for Clare to not take Pris’ head when she had the chance? Who the fu*k is Isley? Why have him in the show if all he does is stand around? Why bring out Galatea in the final episodes and not have her do anything (well, besides talking, breathing and walking. But that’s all)? What happened to all the other claymores? What happened to the rest of the awakened beings? I really thought that they could’ve ended the series (even though if it was different from the manga) a lot better.

Example, one huge, and by huge, I mean HUGE-ASS fight. Instead of all the flash backs (I wonder how many times they’ve shown Teresa’s head flying throughout the course of the series), maybe the rest of the awakened beings that were taking charge and attacking the other claymores, snuffing them, mocks them a bit, before noticing 2 claymores in black standing on top of the hills. Cut back to some more Clare fighting, cut back to the awakened beings staring at the claymores, and one has started to transform. And suddenly, flash, an awakened being loss its head, Cut back to Clare fighting, all the way till perhaps similar to Clare’s final fight. Cut to Beth and Alicia arriving at Clare’s scene, leaving a wake of dead awakened beings. They sense some wicked fighting. In comes the instruction, and woosh, they go berserk. Clare’s fight gets disrupted, Raki flies off to god knows here, and amidst the chaos and badass Youki, Jean hugs Clare, returns her to normal, dies, Isley carries Pris, and escapes, scene fades to white...

Some falling snow, we see Raki lying unconscious on the ground with Isley smiling down at him, while carrying Pris. Cut to Clare waking up to find a dead Jean, cries… Miria starts wondering about the 2 wicked claymores, Helen and Deneve looks around to find all other claymores dead and curses, until they sense some movements. Clare remembers Raki, and starts looking around for him aimlessly… cries out for his name. Cut to Galatea asking about the 2 claymores, gets denied, gives her report about the “Dead” claymores (as in the anime) and walks away, as Ruburu (or Ruvuru, or whatever you call him) starts his speech, as the camera cuts to a snowy mountain with heavy blizzard. Then we see the shadow of 7 figures... as the camera zooms in with exponential speed, and just before the shadowy figures are revealed, ending theme kicks in.

That would’ve set things really nicely if there were to be a second season, and the only mismatch they have to fix are that Pris had dueled Clare, and that Raki knows who Pris is. But hey, give them 1 episode, and it’s possible to come up with something, example, the duel with Pris was the main motivation for her to work harder, and in Raki’s case... maybe he lost his memories due to concussion. And that would probably allow Pris to be even more attached to him. And when the end finally comes, they can then use their own again in case the changes really were incompatible, example with Clare saying “so we meet again, biatch. Give me my boy toy back”. LOL! It doesn't hurt to create your own ending if your not satisfied with the real one."

heaven or hell!? rock on!

"I don't believe in heaven or hell or God or any form of religion Period! My take on this life is that we are here... even though we never asked to be born, and I will now speak for myself. I never asked for this life and I feel very resentful towards my parents for stirring me up so to speak. It was a very selfish act on their part, not considering how I would feel as an adult. Life is a game, as I've said this many times before and I will never stop believing it until proven otherwise. There is no meaning in it what so ever. I don't believe that there is a heaven or hell awaiting us after our death and I loath at thought that my soul or whatever will continue to live after leaving my body. That's crap and I don't ever want that to be true.

If there is a hell that so many people speak of then we are living in it right here and now. And I don't buy into this crap about doing your best in this life so that when you die you could go to heaven and live in eternal peace with God. What's the point in all that? Suffering through all this shit just to go to this fabricated heaven and live in peace with a God who closes it's eyes to all the wrong that is happening in the world. No thanks! If I had to choose, I'd chill with the devil any day... and that's also a fabrication!"

What do you think of the ending?

8 months 3 weeks ago

"Apparently a lot of people really don’t understand storytelling and are only interested in the most base elements of anything, such as garrr!!, or moe. The old unwilling to look below the top most layer of what is presented problem people have resurfaces yet again. While I was watching the ending, I became more convinced that Gainax planned this all from the start. Nia’s death was a forgone conclusion if you paid attention to what the Crayon-guy was talking about. She was an artificial life form that was inserted within the spiral genes. The fact that she was the daughter of the Spiral King and the fact she loved Simon was all coincidence. It makes me very sad Nia had to go in the end. It was a bittersweet ending. Hell.. I know some tears poured from my eyes every times I watched that part. I do also believe that even as Simon knew what would happen, I don’t think Simon, you, me, or anyone else for that matter could truly get over such a loss so easily despite what was being said.

The fact that 20 years from now, Simon become all but unknown to anyone.. is a statement of fact. Especially in the real world, heroes are often buried in the past and forgotten. Gainax wanted us to know that despite all the heroics, the GAR-ness, the epicness of their story, they chose to end it in a way that made sense. There was no happily ever after in it. God knows I wish there was but I felt.. deep down… the end was truly fitting. I won’t argue with anyone else with regards to what I feel about the end. To each his or her own. I hope, maybe an alternate end could be made. A movie of sorts. Something to satisfy everyone? Or such. Gainax. Kudos to your epic story. I will never forget it. And it has revived something in me that has faded through time. Perhaps I shall explore it once more and see where it takes me."

Clannad The After Story

" Please skip my post if you are not up to date with the series. Alright, I have been contemplating what they have been getting at with Nagisans illness and ushio's illness. I am going to toss some ideas around and see how it plays out as I type: First off there is Nagisa illness which seems to be tied into the way the city changes. Throughout her story, Nagisa health and illness has run parallel not to her happiness but to the development of the town itself. During the end of the first season and part of the second season, you saw development of the town little by little. Places which acted as balancing points of the natural environment were destroyed or altered. In doing so, Nagisa fell ill during their development. But aspects of the town had flourished to the point where they seemed to counteract the loss from the land development. After this happened, Nagisa got well again until they began developing the hospital. In doing so, she fell ill.

Something I have been considering is the land on which the hospital is built. The main similarity between the land and Nagisa lies in Akio taking her there when she nearly died originally. It was as if his emotional outcry and Nagisa sheer will to survive created a sort of hinge. Taking into account Kotomi's arc about the pocket world. I wonder if they were hinting at the fact that the soul of the city existed and was most prevalent in that wooded region where the hospital was built. I believe, therefore, that when Akio took Nagisa to the woods and pleaded for her life, he inadvertently tied Nagisa and the city together completely. This bond made Nagisa well for a time but felt the towns pain as a result. I believe the evidence lies in Ushio's natural gravity towards that area.

Now the soul of the city lies within that world that has ended. Even the term “world which has ended” to me, suggests the end of the natural world, with each development, that world ends further. suggested by the changing of the seasons from bright and sunny constantly to a slow fade to snow. Ushios comment as she enters this world to act as the new hinge “I had to become the consciousness of this world so that I could survive. I want to survive” this suggests that in the end, the world needed to survive and the only way it could was if someone was able to take its place. I believe, therefore, Nagisa is in a manner, a personification of the city and nature. Her conditions acting as a reflection for how the state of the town is. "

Second Season announcement

"This is all that hit me while watching the episode. Innovation might not exactly mean the evolution of the entire human race per say. It might simply be a metaphorical term for a certain kind of philosophical enlightenment that Schenberg wants mankind to achieve. The Innovators are able connect to one another psychically, and this could symbolize perfect understanding the hallmark of the philosophy of Innovation. When you can see into the innermost reaches of one’s mind, you are able to understand him or her intimately (in theory). This perfect understanding between all humans that what everyone desires is really just peace; this is probably the enlightenment that Schenberg desires, which will put an end to conflict and create peace. The name “Celestial Being” could not be more apt. Celestial Being will be the overseers who watch over the people of the world in this time of turmoil. They will also be the forerunners of the coming change, an organization which fights for this “enlightened” ideology, though they may not all understand it. They are the ones who will lead humanity to “innovation.”

The term” Innovators” is an interesting term. In definition, it means “Agents of change.” The innovators are meant to be the catalyst that will bring along innovation. They are the ones who are forcing Celestial Being to act, and through the actions of Celestial Being, (And through observing the ruthlessness of the Innovators) humanity will see the light, and change will come. Setsuna is the first among the Innovated humans, his innovator powers enabling him to fully understand the true meaning of Innovation, and Schenberg’s true goals. Through him perhaps Schenberg hopes that this understanding can be spread to the rest of humanity. I do not really think that Schenberg intended evolve all humans into Innovators, but rather simply to be of an “Innovated” mind. (Even Ribbons states this clearly, though I don’t think he fully understands why.)

Also, in the Gundam 00 universe, where everything seems to be at least marginally based on science, I do not see a way where everyone on Earth could be quickly converted into innovators; certainly not a way that would take any less that a few hundred years. The only way this would be achievable is through a Deus ex Machina device, like the thought elevator in Code Geass. It might be tempting to think of Veda as such a device, but so far it has done nothing to show that it is capable of playing any role in human evolution. It will most certainly play a central role in the end, but it is more likely to be the instrument through which Ribbons and the Innovators will be defeated.

Valentine

"Valentine's Day is so overrated. What is the point of spending so much money on flowers for your sweetheart that will just wither a die if you don't take care of them properly (especially if said sweetheart works all the time, and isn't home enough to care for them.) Then you have to expend so much energy on looking your best in a fancy dress or suit when a nice shirt and dress pants or jeans will do just fine, and you have to take your date out to dinner when the meals are expensive and you have to wait thirty minutes or more in the frigging line up. And if your on a tight budget then you do not want to spend nothing over $500 on dinner (although I think that's kind of insane to be spending that kind of money on food that you can damn well prepare yourself and for a hell of lot cheaper). Just call me a cheapskate I don't care! Followed by more expensive entertainment that will really bite into your wallet.

And it would be an extreme inconvenience for men because the NBA All-Star game takes place around this time, and basketball fanatics everywhere would kick themselves for missing it on this "important" day of the year. Sometimes you have to wonder if it's really worth it, especially if your significant other suddenly changes their mind about you within a week. But for singles like myself Valentines Day has no important meaning, it could be a really nice excuse for you to buy a lot of chocolate and lie to everyone about where they came from lol. I've never done it but I surely will try it next year!"

what if there is no love in this world?

8 months 3 weeks ago

"Well I can only answer this base on my feelings. This world is pretty love-less in the majority and if it wasn't, we would all be at peace. If this world was filled with love there would be no such thing as third world countries, children starving and eating out of trash cans if that. Orphanages, mothers killing there unborn children out of selfish needs. Money should be the first thing to perish if we ever want to take a step forward to prosperity but this will NEVER happen. Your life nor mine is worth more then money. If one day you accidentally stumble upon a gold mine on your own property and the higher ups or BIG-BROTHER finds out about it, they would have you and your family meet your untimely but efficient deaths! And trying to seek salvation through religion only makes the matter worse because when things go well in our life or rather people's lives, they praise God. And when things go poorly, they begin to question their faith in God. Quite the double-standard don't you think?

On top of that, every single one of us will die, most of us suffering in our final days. Why is death (something so certain) such a shock to us? Because people fool themselves daily into thinking that God promised them a perfect world. The only perfect world promised is Heaven and this is fleeting people, this was all written by MAN. So there really isn't anything to look forward to after your death. I really like your question, you asked as though it is a shocking concept to think that there really isn't any love in this world. I take it that you were a sheltered person who have avoided all forms of confrontations and have closed your eyes to all the bad that is actually happening in the world right now as I'm typing these words.

We are in a time of suffering and free will. If we want the world to be nicer, it is up to us to be the hands of God, to let our good influence our daily lives and the lives of everyone around us. Join a human rights group and start helping someone that is in need of your help."

Turning 20...

"Its totally normal. As we get older, the clock confuses our self perception. I remember a research study that showed Americans, on average, claimed they feel they are 7 years younger than they really are, and the calendar is making them older than they really are. The funny thing is, for the most part, the rest of the world see us as we really are. We don't notice it, because we change so slowly. Remember when you loved to watch cartoons on Saturday morning? At some point, you probably don't even remember when, you lost some interest in that. You found other, more interesting things to do. The funny thing is that those more interesting things had been less interesting to you a couple of years before. This is an example of growing old. There is a lot to celebrate in getting older. Next year will be a major milestone for you. That could lead to some good and some bad.

Some things to look forward to: as people get older, they are less likely to get injured in the fun they get into (but they have just as much fun), they can buy whatever car they want, they can make more and more choices for themselves as their lives and careers progress. There may also be the possibility that your career will give you opportunities to make a powerful difference in other people's lives. And finally, most healthy adults discover something fascinating as they get older: they like themselves more and feel less of a need to impress others. This is why so many people say "live begins at 50". At that age, so many of the questions have been answered and they can just get on with it. Questions like, "what do I want to do with the rest of my life" "Do I want to get married and/or have children" "What is the most significant thing that brings me happiness? (hint--for most people, it is not the size of your paycheck).

Compared to 50, 20 is still very young. You have another 30 years before life begins. In the meantime, this is the time to learn more things about yourself, your values, your life goals, and your primary sources of happiness. And be sure to have some silly time, when you just kick back and do whatever you want; whatever is fun. That is an important part of being in your early twenty's. I will be 23 soon and I have a lot to be thankful for. I am a well established ADULT who solely relies on myself and there isn't a day that goes by where I am not thankful for the wise choices that I have made throughout my teenage years. "

Hey fellas ...and ladies! hows your luck with the opposite sex?

"Fantastic topic and the third picture pretty much sums up my life in regards to love, family and friends. My relationship history has been short lived and consisted of ONE major pain in the ass, but I'm not too bitter about it though because he never got the best of me. I'm a twenty two year old virgin going on twenty three and I honestly don't think my situation is going to change anytime too soon. I've been independent for a while now and it's great but the one thing that I've learned from my relationship was that men, tend to want mothers and not a lovers so to speak. I had wrap my ex in cotton wool until I got tired of it plus some extra added shit that just left me in a bad state altogether. I get approached almost everyday by some rather interesting pursuers but I grudgingly decline. I don't particularly like my current frame of mind and thus I have no interest in tending to suitors that will only add to my frustration. But I think that most of the general population have horrid luck with the opposite sex anyway and your lack of, or induce physical appearance has nothing to do with it, its really not their fault.

Society tells us everywhere that our relationships are doomed to fail or that our significant other is going to cheat (and mine certainly did with my best friend at that) so its not like its not without reason, and also let me tell you even if society wasn't splurging all this crap into our head, the fact of the matter is that we keep breaking up with people because we know deep down that the chemistry isn't right, and believe me you will know when it is, you'll feel it in the first 3 seconds of meeting the boy or girl, there will be something about him or her that you just wont be able to put your finger on, that's it right there. I have experience this feeling with someone that is beyond my grasp, just call it rotten luck or I would point this back to the gods or greater force that is simply playing with my life.

I think for some people it's that "forbidden fruit" concept. Also, when a person seems needy (like my ex was) it is very unattractive and has been known to cause fleeing frenzies and possibly avalanches. The best advice that I can give to anyone who is currently in the pursuit of love is to just be yourself, and when the day comes, that special guy or girl will notice you. Being unattached is not the worst thing in world, find out who you are and share that with someone whom you deem to be worthy of your time and especially your love."

Do you believe in next life ?

8 months 3 weeks ago

"I'd rather that there would be no such thing because after going through hell with this life, I really don't see the need for another. No one knows what happens after you die. No one - not Christians, not Hindus, not Muslims, no one else. Not Bible, not Gita, not Koran, no other religious book. No one knows what happens. Just live your life doing your best, don't cause harm to anybody, don't thrust your thoughts on anybody. It does not matter if you believe in one religion, another or none at all. All religious books are right on some aspects and wrong on others. Saying that "you will be with God in heaven" may be as incorrect as "you will be a worm in next life if there is such a thing and I sincerely hope not". Who knows and why should anyone care at this point? I mean after living through the daily bumps and grind in this life I really don't want to ponder if there is a next one after my death.

And now that you've got me thinking about it, I'm really hoping that there isn't one. Shit, when I die just let me go back in to a state of nothingness, let all my traces of ever existing here in the first place be gone. All this talk about heaven or hell is nothing but a fabrication of nonsense talked about by people who are afraid of death and not knowing what awaits them after. Can't everyone just be happy with the fact that they are here and maybe all of this means nothing? And if there is a god or grater force then it is playing with our lives like pieces of objects on a chess board. "

Ulquiorra Schiffer Release Form!

8 months 3 weeks ago

" Okay seriously, Ulquiorra needs to stop with the unpleasant release of his new lingerie. And my goodness man, he even saved the second one "Utltra Bat Release" for Ichigo, EXCLUSIVELY. I've got to say my favorite line from him was "Even Aizen has not seen me in this form" so classic! I still like him though and even enjoy seeing Ichigo getting a good beating! "

Anew Returner

8 months 3 weeks ago

"This is just some food for thought but I’m willing to bet Anew didn’t have any aiming issues. Instead, I bet Lasse tried to be a hero and get the gun away from Anew and got shot in the stomach for his efforts. Plus CB probably doesn’t stock ammo as good as what Ali buys so shooting him in the chest might not get all the way through that chest piece and it’s equipment. I actually don’t really mind the whole Lyle/Anew thing. Obviously they wanted a Four/Stella character and accompanying death incident. I’ll cheerfully take “Oh the deep relationship developed in the course of a four month timeskip” of the Lyle/Anew relationship over “Despite having spent a grand total of less than 24 hours with each other, they magically developed a deep relationship.” of Camille/Four or Shin/Stella.

While Ali apparently skipped teaching Setsuna to finish off defeated enemies in favor of teaching him to be a punching bag; he did apparently did teach Setsuna to shoot to kill, especially when an ally is in danger. After watching this episode I can only conclude that Revive decided to join Team Patrick a while back. I blame Ribbons for Anew and Revive not just attempting to kill the crew. Ribbons probably wants CB to be crushed by the A-Laws in a manor similar to the end of season 1. As such their mission was solely to steal the 00-Raiser for him (which would still vastly simplify things for the A-Laws).

Paying for Dinner

8 months 3 weeks ago

"The way I see it is if the guy "invites" the girl on a date, then he is the host and he is taking her out, and then he should pay. Do you think the bill should always be split? What if he makes more money than she does and he picks a fancy restaurant that she really cannot afford? And then doesn't inform her that they will be going dutch? Nope. Sorry. When I invite people out to lunch, especially people that don't have a lot of money, I usually try to make some kind of comment revealing that I am going to pay. Then they are not stressed out about the money part.

I haven't dated in a while, but if I guy asked me out, chose the location without asking my input, and then expected me to pay I'd be annoyed to say the least. I'd pay but it would just be awkward. He asked me out, he should offer to pay the bill, or mention up front that we'll be going dutch. Offering to split is nice on the lady's part, and if the guy would like to split future meals, he'd be wise to accept. if he declined, he shouldn't expect her to constantly offer to split the bill. I would never go out on a date without, at a minimum, insisting on paying for the tip, regardless of who did the asking. Splitting the bill is just better in the long run. But when it comes to what is proper, whoever did the asking should pay, or mention up front they will be splitting. But certainly, you DON'T pay for dinner, then ask the girl out for drinks, and then tell her you don't have any money left! Give me a break!

Ulquiorra Schiffer Release Form!

8 months 3 weeks ago

" I laughed so hard when I saw it and I'm still smiling just thinking about it. Come on what were you expecting, his massive release of MUSCLES? I thought he would have been a snake or something along those lines but man, a BAT lol! That's too funny... someone mentioned his dress and I find it funny as well... but oh, the plot thickens because apparently he has a level Up, should be interesting. And yeah, I agree that his full release is a yawn and too feminine, his evilness has sunk so low for me because of his dreadful new outfit. "

Small things that immensely piss you off?

9 months 2 weeks ago

"I think I basically hate the majority of the population. I really think people are getting more stupid by the day. I work in retail and I worked last weekend and I just can't believe how rude people are. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people are at the counter checking out and are on their cell phones. They act like you are interrupting their conversation and it takes forever to ring them up because they are so engrossed in their conversation to pay attention to whats going on. I had this lady and she actually said to me, "sorry I was on the phone, I know its so rude, but I had to take the call." That made me even more angry! Guess what, you are not that important, you can frigging go two minutes without being on your phone. And another thing is repetitive anonymous phone calls with no voicemail messages left!

I never answer them (unknown) callers, PERIOD! Especially on weekends because I could end up having to go into work or something, it's not like I get a ton of phone calls really, I don't, but if you can't tell me who you are then I don't want to know! And it's kind of weird not to leave a message. And I'm very judicious about who I give my number to so guess what?! (And I'm on the do not call lists!) Sigh people and random dialing computer programs really sucks sometimes! I dread it when people say that "life is short". What the hell? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does! What can you do that's longer? Someone please tell me the answer to this, I'd love to know?!"
