I got my first visit an otaku today! An "offended" otaku! Imagine my surprise! (yes, this is sarcasim) Apparently, I'm wrong about FMA being a kids show...It wasn't made for kids...It was made for adult otaku here in the US and kids really shouldn't watch it because it's too violent and has religious themes they obviously can't handle. (Okay, so no, the otaku visitor didn't say THAT, but you all get my point). Oh, BTW...Bugs Bunny was orginally made for ADULTS...and even poor bugs was subjected to censorship due to racial and political issues....
Good grief...You want religous themes and violence, turn on CNN. That shit is disturbing...
Thank God I can ban people and delete posts, though I won't do that unless I'm feeling particularly bitchy...*smile*
Anyway...moving along to more important matters...
なぜ、まだ目が覚めていますか？ なぜ？なぜ？なぜ？ （＞－＜） 3amです。私は疲れていますけど私は眠ることができまないよ。。。クソ！！！
Ｔｒａｎｓｌａｔｉｏｎ：Why am I still awake...why why why? It's 3am and I'm tired, but I can't sleep. Dammit.
I have to be up by at least 7am...I've tried to go to sleep but I can't. I just toss and turn. Thankfully, I did take a "nap"...from about 7-12, which is probably my problem. It's also figgin hot...It's still 70 degrees outside. Tomorrow the temp should be between 106-110...NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway...I might as well do something constructive while I'm awake. Playing Xenosaga crossed my mind, but lost it's appeal quickly...I've played it three times. For those of you who are Xenosaga fans, Part II will be out Feb. 2005. I wish it was sooner, but oh well...
Tomorrow the Olympics starts. I'm excited. I love the Olympics! I like watching all the "non-popular" sports. Sure Baseball and Basketball are cool (Football just plain sucks ass IMO), but I'd much rather watch things like Tennis, Equestrian, biking, martial arts, swimming, gymnastics, track and field, etc. I am a bit miffed that the USA has been asked not "not flag wave" this year. That pisses me off and I say screw 'em. Sure, show some tact, but celebrate any victories! I'm sick of all the Anti-American sentiments. The Olympics is a sporting festival, not a war...and personally, I think politics have no place there. If people are pissed because of Iraq, leave it at home, shut up, and enjoy the events.
We can thank our politicians for most of the Anti-Americanism, but I also hold the closed minded individuals of the world responsible too. You know who they are...the ones that sit in front of their TV's while thier media feeds bullshit after bullshit into thier already soppy brains. "All Americans are evil war mongers" is the mantra...and suddenly, everyone in the world becomes and expert on the American people and way of life. It makes me laugh, sometimes, but other times it pisses me off. Certainly, our military actions are the worlds business...I have no qualms about that...but our elections are OUR buisness and no one elses...
Bush might be re-elected. It's very likely. But the more I think about it, the more I begin to ponder the situation...Will Kerry leave those poor Iraqi people all alone after we tore down their country and let all those freaks pour in? What will the world say about us then? If we pull out, like they all want, what will happen? Will the French step in? Not likely...The Germans...hardly...The UN? Don't make me laugh...
But on the other side of the coin...what the hell do we do to beat these suicidal idiots? I can see no hope, honestly...and part of me says just leave the Middle East alone...let them kill each other...but that seems so heartless. There are good people there. People who just want to live their lives. Any human deserves that right...to live without fear...But how do you teach that to a culture who knows nothing about human rights, freedom, and respect for fellow man? I don't think it's possible...I think people have the learn that on their own...and we can't force them too, nor should we...
As for Sudan...I feel sorry for the genocide going on there...it's horrible. However, the UN is posing sanctions again and I had to laugh. What the hell is that going to do? It worked real well on Saddam, didn't it folks? Who's going to get hurt by the sanctions? The government? Not likely...they'll take it out on their people...Then, of course, the UN states that US forces may be sent there....WTF?! Like we aren't busy already...send someone else. Send the Frenchies...the Germans...someother nation who's sitting around on it's ass being armchair critics...Surely they won't protest, considering the decision for troop deployment comes from the UN and not the US...The UN seriously pisses me off...so does many of the other countries in the world...they cry about American's being violent, but when it comes time to send troops who do they turn to? We should just say NO...sorry, it's someone elses turn...
Oh, I know it's because we have a large military...because our country has money...because we are the worlds current "superpower"...but that doesn't mean the entire responisbility falls on us. Other nations need to ante up and stop bitching...There are some serious issues going on in the world, and it's going to take ALL of us working together to find a solution...nothing is going to be solved by all the damn finger pointing going on...
Well...I've whined enough today...I'm going to see if I can't go back to sleep for a couple hours...but not likely....
