| I
realize that it has been quite some time since I last posted, but,
recently I’ve been fighting my way through midterms and general
studying. A lot of what I have to say relates to stuff that happened
a while back, but I’ll throw in some more recent stuff, if
I can think of it…
First off, I know I said I’d have something up in audio format,
but it turns out that I’m having more homework than I anticipated,
this quarter (the fact that I’m having a whole crap-load of
fun with the program is kind of slowing down my progress as well,
but you can just ignore that little tidbit). It will take me a couple
more days or weeks, I don’t really know now, I expect to be
getting close to finishing the piece this Saturday, IF things go
as I plan, and seeing as how I only have one class Friday, I’ll
be catching up on a bunch of stuff, mainly programming and finishing
the rest of my ‘Return’ series of rants (they will probably
end up being about three to four parts total, depends on what I
end up deeming appropriate, which may end up being a significant
distance between postings for each one). All the aforementioned
completely depend upon life deciding not to screw with me too much.
Next on today’s episode of KageShima Rants… Damnit Namakemono,
I frigging hate you, you bastard. Posting and hinting that I might
have some oddball S&M fetish. The few reasons I use Ivy include:
1. At the time, I had never played Soul Caliber (1 or 2), 2. With
the nature of her weapon (Snake Sword), I knew that she was tactically
superior, having a greater range of attack ,3. I promptly showed
you the superiority of the Snake Sword and completely owned you
for a good while, 4. The outfit I chose was better than the ‘stock’
one, 5. and finally, despite whatever thoughts you have as to how
resilient to, and/or liking of pain I am, I can assure you, I am
quite allergic to it. On the other hand, any time you want to be
thrashed about by Ivy and me, let me know, I shall gladly return
to the arena to give you and your little Talim a good beat-down.
Oh, and if you plan on using the girl with the naginata (Seung Mina),
I’ll hang you from your toes, and we’ll see how cheap
you can be while fighting a red-out. Yes, I am a violent person
at times.
I guess another part of me not ranting could possibly (not really)
be blamed upon the fact that I’ve been working with Slacker
on the storyline and site layout, trying to get some finishing touches
thrown in, just to make it look a bit more… appropriate for
the content, as well as deciding as to what the main content focus
should be. Soon the site should be looking a bit aesthetically cleaner,
just about the time that we will be having an actual comic for you
folk to observe.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder, is it considered ‘bad’
or ‘unacceptable’ to be an objective person? It just
seems that I have ended up coming across a great number of people
that somehow find it hard to fathom the way that I decide and process
what I do. I know that a majority of the time I’m BS’ing,
but (I think) more often than not, there’s a reason to my
rhyme… It may just be me though. I have always found people
confusing, especially with the kind of people they decide to throw
upon a pedestal and give millions of dollars a year, when there
are constant cuts in teacher funding. The same can be said about
the prison system… I always thought prisons were designed
to punish those who had broken the law to some extent, not so that
they could go to college to earn a degree, earn wages working a
job, or take part in an internship. Who the hell decided it was
necessary to be humane to the inhumane?
I guess that the problem
is that people are generally a misguided lot. They oft confuse their
own desires for emotions, and read too far into situations or read
only that which they long to see, and thus try to find a way to
exploit it, most frequently unconsciously. Actually, I don’t
think that it is happening unconsciously, as people are more lazy,
and would rather live ignorant of what they are doing, because learning
from yourself is probably one of the most difficult forms of learning,
and well, people are lazy, as are all things. All forms of matter
seek the simplest form, eventually breaking down to meet a physical
equilibrium. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.
I was going to talk about something else here, but I can’t
remember what right now… It’s probably for the best
that I wait ‘til later to recall whatever the hell it was…
Oh, well. I shall post again in the future, hopefully with a bit
more than a few pages of text…
