Generation gaps, yaoi paddles, screamo, trees and-- wtf, I have a 9th follower!!!!!

Hi.


Again, I should not be here right now.
"No computer until you're done you're homework!!" 
Was what my mother told me in a voice that was more of a naggy yelling voice than a telling voice, but she communicated to me that I must not use the internet unless I need to for my homework until all of my summer work has been completed.


I'm done everything assigned by school... there's just all this crap my parents assigned.


But I'm almost done.

I opened up blogger, and I saw "9 followers"
Eh?
Eto....
................................................................................


So, now I extend a warm welcome to pdelacruz, and I thank you for following my blog, and I kinda wonder why you did... but that's not to say you should unfollow! This blog is all on a "read at your own risk"/"hell, no one's gonna read it anyway" basis. So, stick around, comment a couple times when you want to laugh at me, or berate me for being such an idiot. 


And I don't know how much of my blog you've read as of yet, but please take note that I don't mean most of what I say. I write completely on spur of the moment, I almost never edit my writing, and I tend to repeat myself. A lot. 


So, thank you, and 


You have been warned!!!

When I think about how my generation's turning out, I think, "damnit, we suck" and I wonder how much worse humans can get, and whether we'll get any better. There was a time when respect for your elders was standard, when humans were supposed to be more human and less... human. o.o Okay, ignore that. 


Anyway, kids are always being told by their parents, "you know, in my day, -insert lame, long-winded story about childhood here-... so you should stop mouthing off/cussing/texting/facebooking/tweeting/drinking/doing drugs/etc, etc and start acting like a well-to-do, good human being!"


Do you think there'll ever be a day when a man turns to his son and says, "Son. You are...
a boring, pompous, overly-prudent excuse for a boy! Quit being such a stiff and start living! Go out and party! Live life! Make decisions that will f**** up your life and you will regret forever!" 


Nah, that's probably never gonna happen, but what's gonna happen when teenagers hit the lowest level of asshole-ness? They'll get better, right? Or maybe humans can actually be a lot worse than I think and humans all die out before they get the chance to be better.

In manga, you see that yankee stereotype a lot. Basically, the Japanese equivalent of kids who'd be in gangs (just, as you can imagine, in real life, they're no where near as badass). So in gang fights, there'd be your usual weapons. Baseball bats, crowbars, possibly a knife or two.


So, what if there was a yankee fujoshi, would her weapon be a yaoi paddle?




(A yaoi paddle is basically a large paddle, and you hit people on the rear with it. They have 'yaoi' written on either side, and some have "seme" on one side, used to hit hard, and 'uke' on the other, used to hit lightly. It got so bad, they're banned from conventions. I've never seen one or even been to a con, but they look painful.)

I think that singers whose voices I actually like have voices that can make you drowsy if you're tired no matter what the song is. Whether it's an upbeat k-pop song, or something that might resemble rock, ballads, blues, it's this really really soothing voice, and it makes you really calm, and if you just woke up, kinda sleepy.


Like Sung Si Kyung or Tony An. They could probably do punk rock or hip hop and they'd still have that kinda of voice. 


(I'm usually too lazy to go find examples, but I went ahead and did so.
Sung Si Kyung: 미소천사  and 외워두세요
Tony An: 유추프라카치아
You guys are probably too lazy or busy to go look for them yourselves.) 


So then, I wondered.... what would they sound like doing screamo?

You know, after all these years, I finally get why the main character in the Pokemon anime... was named "Ash"


The Ketchum part was pretty straightforward. 
But Ash.
Why Ash?
I get how you'd go from Takeshi to Brock, how you'd get from Kasumi to Misty. But.... Ash?


But I finally get it.


Every professor in Pokemon was named after a tree.
Professor Oak, Professor Ivy, Professor Birch, Cedar, Redwood, Dogwood, Sycamore, Maple. 
And ash is a type of tree.


So I finally get it. 


I finally get why Ash was named Ash.
I feel like such a genius.


But that gets immediately cancelled out by the fact that
1) It took me this long to figure it out and 
2) I even care. 
  


(I just realized it's Friday the 13th. Should I even care? Ah well.
HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th!!! MAY YOU NOT BE EATEN BY DEMONS TODAY!!!!)
There's such thing as a phobia of today.
Friggatriskaidekaphobia.
Long word. :)
