Yeah, it was a dare from Marushi (whose name I mispronounced, to which I apologize in advance). Sorry that it's bad... ;_; [video=youtube;tHoMW5U9UnE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHoMW5U9UnE[/video]
I've recently gotten back into spoken word and am writing a number of poems. This is one that I think is good enough to share. When I Finally Die Let me tell you my final words. I don’t need a will or testament to tell all of you what needs to be said today. None of what I say will be relevant until my soul decides to pass away. My mortality has been know to me since month three, and all I can see is the dark times where there is hate instead of love. I lived as a boy in a man’s body. I questioned anything because I don't know everything. That knowledge won't come to me until my body lies six feet under your feet but my soul flies freely trough the clouds. To those closest to me, listen clear: Allow your tears to fall, but dry them as quickly as they appeared. Do not pity me because my heart no longer beats because I forever live in your hearts. Smile when you think of me and my burning smile will always be on you. To the one who will mourn me the most, the woman who came to me in the darkness. My love, I fought as long as I could just to simply see your shining smile every chance I could. Don’t let what we’ve been through go in vain, for I will forever stick by your side. And when that time comes for you to follow in these hallow footsteps, know that you will not be alone. For, wen you die, I will be there holding onto your perfect hand and I will escort you through the clouds. I know it will be scary enough to do so alone, which is why I will be there for you. These final thoughts go to the world. I will not say change your faith or views, but to change your attitudes. Those who laugh at those with altered beliefs and those who discriminate because of their faith both share the same terrible darkness deep inside. Don’t see the glass half-empty or half-full, but filled with water that you can sip and share with your fellow neighbor, whoever that person may be. These thoughts and dreams come from me, the most foolish man who ever existed.
[No news really; I just wanted to see if any of you read the title with Professor Farnsworth's voice in your head]
Defenders of the Soul (Redux) A Soul Eater Role Play OOC THREAD This is the OOC thread; the official thread will be up once we have enough characters to start. Here, you can join, post your OOC, ask any questions and comment about the RP in general. **NOTE** This RP follows what happens in the 52 episode anime series, not the manga (since I've heard that the two are different). **NOTE** If you were in the original RP and wish to join, please still post in here so I can know. C: Story: Thirty years have passed since the events that[ happened with Asura. The seven young heroes involved have now grown up and continued their lives outside of what happened. Maka Albarn, the slayer of Asura, became one of the teachers of the DWMA, which is now run by her husband, Death the Kid. Kid's obsession with perfection still follows him into adult hood, having four weapons always ready on hand: the Death Scythe, Soul Eater; the Chain Scythe, Tsubaki; and his trusty twin Demon Pistols, Liz and Patty Thompson. Black*Star also became a teacher at the DWMA, but spends most of the time boasting about his glory days instead of actually teaching anything. All seems peaceful in Death City... But, in the other parts of the world, a band of witches have been scheming the downfall of Death City and the DWMA. In order for any kind of Weapon to be a part of Death's chosen weapons, a weapon and a meister must work together to capture 99 Kishin souls, and one soul of a witch. While not all witches are completely evil, they never found it fair that they must be sacrificed for the Grim Reaper's play things. That is why a revolution is about to start. Inspired by the late Medusa, their main focus is on attacking the young students of the school. Terms and Such: DWMA: Death Weapon Meister Academy. Basically a school that you go to where you learn about and how to beat Kishin. Meister: Someone who has the ability to wield a weapon. The two work together to eliminate the Kishin and create a weapon worthy of Death himself to wield. Weapon: While they usually prefer to stay in their human form, weapons have the amazing ability to transform into a weapon. Their ultimate goal is to become a weapon worthy of Death's wielding. Witches: a term that is not gender specific in this regard, witches are beings that hold and control great magical power. Each one has a specialty. Their souls, if digested by a weapon, will unlock that weapon's full potential. Because of this, let if be the witch good or bad, there is a universal hatred of the DWMA and any of those who swear loyalty to Lord Death. Kishin: Souls that have strayed off the path of light and now are a risk to the balance of the world. Rules: 1. All kh-vids and role playing rules apply in this thread. 2. No God-Moding, and no killing off other characters without approval by their player. 3. No OOC moments; meaning, if it’s a character from the show, don’t do anything that they wouldn’t do. 4. Keep everything PG-13! Swearing is okay, but nothing that I, staff, or the site deem as excessive. 5. Couples/relationships are permitted in the RP, but for the sake of some views of people, no Yaoi/Yuri. 6. Don’t control other player’s characters without permission. 7. At least five lines per post. 8. You are allowed to control any number of characters, let it be from the anime itself or original characters. I do ask that you don't take on more than you can handle. If things get too confusing, I will ask you to remove characters. 9. No spamming, please. 10. If you read the rules, please put “The DWMA must fall before it is too late” somewhere in your post. 11. If you have any problems, please direct them to either me in either VM or PM form. 12. Regarding original characters, you can chose to either play as a Weapon-meister, a Demonscythe, Kishin, or a witch. Any of the characters can also be teachers (excluding Kishin and witches for obvious reasons); just be sure to put it in your description. 13. I hold the right to deny any character that I don’t deem fit for the RP; which means don’t create a character that doesn’t seem to fit with the plot. 14. Have fun!

1) Because I was bored 2) Had nothing better to do 3) Had this on my mind for some time now. It’s the time of year again. The air is getting colder, kids are starting to get out of school for their breaks, and parents are frustrated, trying to find ways to keep their kids occupied for the next few weeks, especially during Christmas. One way you can keep the little brats distracted is by watching movies, which means it’s that time of year again for Hollywood to release their films directed not for kids, but for parents who want their kids to shut up for two hours. When I was a kid, there were a number of films that I would watch ever day. Hell, I’m nineteen years old, and I still watch a lot of these films. They made my childhood great, and the messages that they were trying to tell us are as powerful today as they were years ago. However, lately, Hollywood appears to have become lazy. They decided to replace substance for bright sounds, loud noises, and pop culture references every three seconds. These movies serve only one purpose, which is to keep a noisy kid distracted long enough for the parent to remember why murder is a bad idea. However, I believe that these movies should have no reason to exist, and are insulting to little kids. What do I mean? Well, look at the re-boot of the “Alvin and the Chipmunks†franchise, releasing their third movie, “Chipwreckedâ€. The title alone screams “unimaginative, uncaring, and down right repulsiveâ€. The first movie was bad, and I couldn’t even last ten minutes with the second one. It all just hopes that your kids are stupid enough to fall for the cuteness of the chipmunks and get excited over a PG-cover of a rated-X song they heard on the radio just a few minutes ago. Other movies that seem to think kids are down right stupid are: Kung-fu Panda, Happy Feet, The Polar Express, the live-action Grinch, and anything that is from Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel. Now, thankfully, there are a few movies out there that actually care about their audience. They don’t think that kids are stupid at all; they know what kids can handle and what they can see. It has good messages, and it has depth and story telling that even adults can even understand (it’s like they’re saying right to the adults “yeah, this is a kids movie, but look at all this cool stuff that we did, just for you, you good parent you.). So, what are these good movies you may ask. Well, I got a list of my favorite movies for kids, that can be enjoyed by anyone. Before I do begin, I would just like to state that the majority of the movies on this list are animated. Animation is a popular medium for kid’s movies, especially the really good and creative ones. There are also a few anime titles here, and I would like to note that I am an anime fan. I don’t see animation as something just for kids; it’s a medium of movie making that opens many doors to creativity. 5. Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989) Released stateside with an English dub in 1997, Disney released this gem created by Hayao Miyazaki, a very big name in the anime business. This is probably one of my favorite Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli films that I have seen, and is the one that is probably the most appropriate for young children. The story revolves around a witch named Kiki, who decides to leave home in order to find her calling in life. The voice acting is simply superb, especially when it was done in the nineties, where most English dubbing companies really didn’t put a lot of effort into their dubbing. Well, of course it was done by Disney, so I guess that’s the reason why it’s so good and it has a lot of big named stars. What gets me is the message of individuality. Like Kiki in the movie, many kids have trouble making friends, especially if they just moved to a new town or are simply seen as “differentâ€. I know this is terrible to say, but little kids are terrible, TERRIBLE, people. They will love you to death, but if you do one thing wrong, it’s straight to the gallows with you! It not only shows the kids that it’s okay to be different, but it also teaches that those who are different from you are also people. It took it’s message seriously, and didn’t resort to overplayed kid’s movie cliches to make it entertaining. You sympathized and loved the main characters because you could relate to them. 4. Toy Story 3 (2010) To me, Pixar doesn’t have any terrible movies. Yes, there are some of their movies that I don’t quite enjoy (“Finding Nemo†for example) but that does not mean the movies are not good. For me, Toy Story 3 is telling all modern kid’s movie makers to get their act together and make an actual “good†movie. Toy Story was already an existing franchise; they were going to get a good amount of money from the box offices, regardless of whether the movie was going to be good or bad, and the makers of the film knew that. They could of just half-assed the film, play to what little kids are distracted by, and make a lot of money afterwards Instead, they took the film seriously, and wanted to tell a story that was worth telling. This is definitely one of the darkest kid’s movies I have seen in a long time though. It deals with a theme that not a lot of kids movies deal with these days: abandonment, and how to cope with it. Sooner or later, a kid is going to have to be abandoned by someone, let it be saying goodbye to a good friend or deal with death. It also plays on something that I think is very important (and is done a lot better in a film later on this list) for kids to learn: family isn’t just people who you are related to, it’s the people who you allow into your lives. You feel for these toys, wanting them to have the happy ending that they deserve. 3. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) I can remember the day when I went to go see the first Harry Potter movie in theaters. I can even remember one year where my teacher read us the first book in my elementary school class. There is a particular magic to Harry Potter and the world that J.K. Rowling created all of those years ago. Sorcerer’s Stone is another movie where an outsider is brought into a world that he is unfamiliar to. While he does have a few friends who admire him because he was the one who defeated You-Know-Who, he does have a few friends who simply like Harry because he’s Harry (Ron became friends with him before he knew his name or noticed the scar). He is even antagonized for what he is famous for, which again supports my notion that little kids are horrible, terrible people. In this particular story, the strength of friendship upstages everything seen. The movie shows kids how to chose your friends, the ones who will always have your back. It also shows that popularity isn’t everything, and some people will hate you because you chose to do the right thing sometimes. It gives the kids a mirror of what growing up will be like (especially in school) and what to do in certain situations. For a fantasy film about witches and wizards, it was a very realistic view on how the real world really is. One more thing that adds to how well I like this film is that it is based off a novel, and a good, well known novel at that. It was a near perfect adaptation from the film, which I commend Chris Columbus for. He made perfectly sure that everything was correct. It’s one of those movies, that, after you read it, it makes you go “i want to read the book to see how it happened thereâ€. Movies and books like this are what get young kids hooked on reading, opening up their minds to new worlds and their own abilities at creativity. 2. Summer Wars (2009) This is probably a movie that none of you have heard of. Besides what is show on kid’s networks, there isn’t a whole lot of anime broad casted in the United States (which gives in to the lie that animation is only for children). This is a very under appreciated film, having many good reviews to its name, and won many awards in Japan. The dub that FUNimation did for it was also very well done. The movie pins itself onto a family who is going through its own crisis as well as showing their involvement on countering a cyber-terrorist. This is the movie that really shows what it means to be a family. The first act of this movie is showing the members of this really large family coming together. It gets you to start feeling for these characters, and makes you feel like you’re a part of this big family. Coming from a big family that has huge gatherings such as the ones in this film, it does show an honest look at what happens when a family comes together. This movie’s main message is family, plain and simple. However, it also tells you that family are those who you hold most dear, the ones who you know are always for you no matter what. Nothing about Summer Wars is ground breaking and it is filled with many cliches told in this kind of story. The reason why it’s so high on the list is because of the emotional rollar coaster it takes you on, and how well the story is told. The movie isn’t all about the family; it’s also about a story of how a math genius tries to take down an evil program from basically destroying the Internet. Both of these stories could have worked as their own films, but it works best with both. I really do recommend this movie, because there really is something there for everybody to enjoy. 1. The Lion King (1994) This was my absolute favorite movie as a kid. There are so many reasons why I enjoy this movie then and now. A Shakespearean story. A fantastic musical. A well paced story. There are many who try to imitate the magic that movies such as these bring to an audience, and they fail to do so. It carries every theme that I listed from each movie above, and so much more. To me, the biggest theme in the movie is following your heart’s path. Simba is taught from a young age that he is meant to be King. However, after the stampede accident, he made a choice and left his pride, but that was where he learned many important life lessons. In the end, he chose the path that he wanted to follow, not once set up for him because of other influences. There is not much else I can say with this movie. It has everything for everyone out there. This was Disney at their best, and the story behind the making of this film is even more inspiring. They didn’t think their central audience were dumb as bricks, as many other kid’s movies seem to think now. The genuine feeling you get watching this movie can be felt at any age, and is powerful everytime.
*Reads that Brittany Spears is engaged* First initial thought: "Mike's going to be pissed!"
Do you like my hat?
I'm waiting to take my logic final. I get here ten minutes early and see that my teacher and no one from my class is here. I wait and wait, but no one seems to come. I know that I didn't get the test date or time wrong, and he never announced any classroom changes (I've checked through my e-mail, just in case). It's almost an hour passed the time it was suppose to start, and NOBODY is here at all. What do KHV; WHAT DO?
I'll miss you. (and wish me luck on my finals tomorrow)
Decided to watch Pokemon Black and White. I may decide to watch Pokemon again. (although, I could really do without the crappy Cartoon Network commercials that aren't funny :/)
