Because why not…

Whoops

Anime is Dead

What was the top selling anime of 2010? Heheheh…all junk…

According to DVD sales in Japan and from what I can read from wikipedia, these are the most popular series and their genre…

1. K-ON!! -> Generic Slice of Life Comedy

2. A Certain Scientific Railgun -> Generic Magic Girl

3. Bakemonogatari -> Generic Supernatural Comedy

4. Working!! -> Generic Slice of Life Comedy

 5. Angel Beats! -> Generic Fantasy Comedy

6. Hidamari Sketch *** -> Generic Slice of Life Comedy

7. Seikon no Qwaser ->Generic Supernatural Porn

8. Shin Koihime Musou -> Generic Historical Romance

9. Ikki Tousen Xtreme Xecutor -> Generic Fighter Ecchi

10. GA Art Design Class -> Generic Slice of Life

Hey, maybe one of these is good. But I am never going to delve in what appears like absolute garbage. My expectations were raised by good anime. But in reality, anime isn;t any better than our own programming across the sea.

Maddness

Breakdown time!

What the fuck is good in this world, honestly? I’ve been trying to figure out what is so good about our only exprience for the last 16 years. All I got was dellustions and boredom. Once in a while I get this illustion that things can be great, but that gets beat away so quickly in retrospect.

My mind is going haywire…things that seemed set in stone one moment ago are banished and what were once evil thoughts seem completly valid. One moment everyone on earth has the IQ of a rock, the next they far outclass me. There is no standard. But then I focus on the negative side and then things always lean that way…

I feel like…going insane once in a while. Just let go of everything, run westward, and never look back. Stop caring about my future, my past, my family, just run off into the distance forever.

That sounds so nice…

Alone

There is this girl that I have had a crush on for a couple years. She looks nice, but she also seems to be smart, nice, and not an air head. But the problem is, I don’t have the guts to ask her out. Even if I don’t get rejected in public, I don’t know what we would do. And it would probably end eventually. Of course, this philosophy will mean I’ll never get a date…

Oh well….

I’m thinking of going on bike rides with a camera and take pictures as I go along. It might break the monotony of my life. The only things I did last year that were notable were going to school and playing Cave Story and Wild Arms. And even as a hermit, I know that is a bad sign.

What is Wrong With Our Modern Culture?

I feel like ending my rants on our culture today. So unless something really stupid comes up, this is probably going to be the final entry. I think I need to say what exactly irks me with today’s culture, why it just seems so deranged for me…

1. Originality is Waning

Imagine if all of today’s music lost its lyrics. Would you really be able to tell the difference between one rap song or another? How about modern rock? Country? If that is too hard of a question to answer, then just remember all the sequals and adaptations hollywood spams more and more each year. People are now too afraid to try something new. Companies know that if they repeat the same formula over and over again they will turn a profit. And the American people will gobble it all up, never asking “Hey, can we get something new to eat?”

Individuality also has not improved. People still make their judgements based on what other people think. Do you honestly think vampires got as big as they are because people REALLY like vampires? No. People just here they are so good and decide to go on the bandwagon because its cool. Everyone hates Justin Beiber because his music is slow, uses autotune, has poor lyrics, and sounds girly. But when a “mainstream” artist does the exact same thing, they get hoots and hollars.

I’m just tired of recycled material and emotions. We need to stop looking to the past and others in for ideas and acceptance.

2. Bad Values are Promoted

I do not want to sound like a prick, but I do not like pointless sex or violence. If it has a purpose, such as porn, video games, or an overall message, sure. But there is a limit. When a song or movie activly endorces cheating, fucking just so you can fuck, or beating up your “haters”, the song just completely loses me. The lyrics of a song are supposed to teach a lesson or tell a story, not tell you to do things that 99% of people agree on as bad.

And just before you think I am overexaggerating the problem, here’s some lyrics from recent popular songs:

‘Cause I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

-Rihanna, S&M

Lil n-gga bigger than gorilla
Cause I’m killing every n-gga that
Try to be on my sh-t
Better cuff your chick if you with her
I can get her
And she accidentally slip and fall on my d-ck
Ooops, I said on my d-ck
I aint really mean to say on my d-ck
But since we talking about my d-ck
All of you haters say hi to it
I’m Done

-Chris Brown, Look at Me Now

Girl please excuse me If I’m coming too strong
But tonight is the night We can really let go
My girlfriend is out of town And I’m all alone
Your boyfriend is on vacation And he doesn’t have to know
No I won’t oh oh, oh oh
No one can do the things I’m gonna wanna to do to you
No I won’t oh oh, oh oh
Shout it out, scream it loud Let me hear you go

–Enrique Iglesias, I Like It

Of course, one could argue that these artists are satiring the people they are in the song. But then why are they painted so positivly? And do you honestly think that the guy who is spamming Family Guy/South Park quotes considers Peter Griffin/Cartman as an example of what you shouldn’t be?

3. Passion is Absent

Maybe I am using the wrong word for this. When I talk about passion in this case, I mean emotional impact. I have rarely gotten that feeling from mainstream TV and Music.  On TV, you’ve got either reality TV shows, comedies, or dramas that have done a thousand times already in the exact same manner. Music today also does not give me this feeling, partialy because I don’t like the style, partialy because of the above and below reasons.

I’m not saying to kill of all comedies and all dramas. But can we have at least something to truely impact us (or just me)? Because this formula has not succeeded for years.

4. Just Plain Stupidity  

We will like anything, no matter how moronic it is. Shows like Robot Chicken and Family Guy and barely made of anything other than pop culture references and efforts to offend as many people as possible, but people still like them. Superjail is only about people getting killed in odd ways, yet it is still going. Brainless movies like Meet the Spartans and Jackass 3D make millions of dollars. And we can’t help but endorce songs like this:

 Boy you got my heartbeat runnin’ away
Beating like a drum and it’s coming your way
Can’t you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that’s that super bass
Boom x15
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass
boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, yeah that’s that super bass

-Nicki Minaj, Super Bass

Who run the world? Girls! [x4]
Who run this motha? Girls! [x4]
Who run the world? Girls! [x4]

-Beyonce, Who Rule the World

Dam girl
Dam you’se a sexy bitch
A sexy bitch
Dam you’se a sexy bitch
Dam girl

Dam you’se a sexy bitch
A sexy bitch
Dam you’se a sexy bitch
Dam girl

Dam you’se a sexy bitch
A sexy bitch
Dam you’se a sexy bitch
Dam girl

Dam you’se a sexy bitch
A sexy bitch
Dam you’se a sexy bitch
Dam you’se a sexy bitch

-Akon, Sexy Bitch

…

Y’know, sometimes I want to “Hyper-Genoocide to Save the Human Race”. Its a fun, happy event where every moron is killed off. Then our culture would gradually fix itself up.

Unfortunatly, I have been told that this plan would be considered a high crime and would be illegal. Pah. Liberal pansies.

Sunday

My mom forced us to go to church today. I think she thinks my atheism is just a phase. My church is nice, but it is incredibly boring. A waste of an hour.

…

My sister is getting a D in honors Chemistry. Unless she gets a high B or A on the final, its going to stay that way. She tried her best and got extra help, but she couldn’t do it. I feel sad for her. I kind of have this fear of failure.

As for myself, the only thing I have to worry about is whenever or not I get an A or a B in Spanish II.

…

Once in a while I tell myself “Man, you shouldn’t judge other people for what they like! What if other people judged you!?” Then, I hear a song like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmMU_iwe6U

The chorus repeats what is essentially the same line TWELVE times. The english is broken. It may be sexist, but I can’t even tell what the message is when the song is spoken in rapaneese.

Can’t we just admit we’ll love everything that doesn’t have “Beiber” or “Black” attached to it?

At least I found a Lady Gaga song I like: “The Edge of Glory”. But I would never seek it out.

This is real music.

Manipulation

If  man’s desire for porn were personified, it would become an object so large it would wreck the solar system due to its massive gravitational pull.

I like to manipulate people once in a while. Just for the lulz, I logged onto a sex chat under a womanly name.

I wish I screen capped every male online immediatly saying hi to me or PMing me. And I mean EVERY one of them. I was fucking surreal, man…

Makes you wonder which is stronger: Love or sex?

Hatred

Hatred. The only emotion that knows no bounds. You will always find the limits of love stopped by something, like looks or money. You always find the limits of courage. Limits to kindness. Limits to wisom.

But hatred…now that is something that truely has no bounds! More people will kill each other over hatred than save each other with love! No vast webs of conspiracies have been formed by the urge to let peace be abundent on this earth. You can only love some one so much. You can hate someone more and more until you want to use your entire being to destroy them…even for little reasons…

But its so amazing how one sided hatred can become. You will see Christians complain about Islamic fundamentalism, while  endorcing their own fundamentalism. You will see white supremecists complain about blacks being racists, even though they  themselves are obviously racist (and vice versa). Political flip-flops and hypocrisy are evident on both sides.

Of course, I hate a lot of things, too. It is the reason why this unseen blog exsists. But my hatred attacks everything, to my greastest extent possible. I don’t look at one group of people and say “Okay, this group is bad when it does this” and look to another group of people and give them the okay to go (or say what they did was only in a minority). I try to judge people on morals, not their personal tastes. Sure, I may critize mainstream music, but I am not calling all people who like it evil. I am just asking: “How can you listen to something so souless?” If I were to meet someone who liked pop music face-to-face and they turned out to be kind and intelligent, I would like them.

But that’s not how other people’s hatred works. Maybe not all hatreds, but way too many. My hatred, though, will branch out, surronding everything, ignoring nothing.

Whatever.

Day Off

Lied about being sick to take the day off. I need to do an English project due tommorow. I could handle it if my sister didn’t procrasinate at the last minute. She takes 10 hours to do her essays…

To expand on what I said about WordPress: None of the most popular entries are about anything important or emotional. Just tips and day-to-day activites, really. Nothing interesting for me.

Casino Economics

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/05/04/us-unequal-uganda-pakistan/

Wow. This wasn’t true a few years ago, yet suddenly the rich own more of the wealth. We are now at or worse in inequality than some third  or second world countries.

So, while the rich are controlling more and more of America’s wealth, more and more of America’s citizens are struggling to remain middle class.

It must be due to Obama’s SOCIALISM!

This is why I do not support all-out capitalism. Just look at college tuition fees:

http://satyagraha.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/inflation-factors-2.jpg

I can see an excuse for medical care, due to new technology. However, how did our tuition get so high? Because pure capitalism can easily go out of control in favor of the rich. Look at the Industrial era. The rich will do anything to get a good profit, even if diminishes the working class and our educational/medical systems,

But if you think that America’s rich are getting way too rich compared to the rest of the population and want to raise taxes on them…well, then you are an EVIL SOCIALIST who HATES AMERICA and wants to start CLASS WARFARE!!!
