Chain-Smoking Teens

#1
Okay. I'll start things out by saying hi. My name's Andrew, AKA Wareyaiba-kun. My name means fragile/broken sword. Anywho, this'll be meh little rant section. And blah-de-fuckin-blah.

Okay. So I'm sitting here at the computer, working on a story I wanted to post on the Final Fantasy section of fanfiction.net (yes, I'm an author there). Well, I couldn't finish it before I had to leave for school, so I saved it and left. I get back and my dad tells me he had to wipe the harddrive. So I'm staring at him wide-eyed, giving him a 'what the fuck is wrong with you?' look, the moral equivalent of Heero Yuy's death glare. And that damn parental immunity to all threat by their children kicks in right when I do, so he ruffles my hair and heads out. And I'm sitting here in my chair, fuming and wondering how to avoid being arrested for murder.

And then about yesterday, I'm typing the story over again and I suddenly blink. The computer screen has officially gone crazy and I have no idea what to do. So I look around for a magnet, wondering of this was just a damn cruel joke and someone hit my monitor with a magnet. Well, no one was around. So I shut down the computer, reboot it, and when I try to open the file, it says the file has been corrupted. That was about the time I grabbed my bokken and ran outside for some much-needed stress release. Let me just say that both my bokken and the hapless victim that was the tree in my backyard both feel my rage now. As do my hands.

Well, I posted a story I wrote in about an hour this morning, before I went to my classes, and I haven't gotten feedback from anyone. Mind you, it has only been about 4-5 hours since I posted it, but I just figured that it'd be faster than that. Either that, or no one likes my story and decided to not review. Whatever. Screw you biotchez then.

Next topic, Counter-strike. The game ownz, I'm trying to scam my friend into burning me a copy. But this is only because I make a measly feckin $3.50 a week. It takes me more than two months to buy a $30 video game. What does this tell you? But I suppose the game's worth it. Nothing's better than the satisfaction of blowing the shit out of a Terrorist/Counter-Terrorist with a Colt M4A1. And yes, before you people ask, I am clinically insane. And I am proud!

And for the final rant of today, Megatokyo. I realize Fred is pumping all his energy into doing this and his other job, but honestly. For someone who can make $1750 from a single sketching of his, you'd think he'd be able to do more. Us die-hard fans are getting annoyed (or at least I am) by the lack of following the schedule, the constant excuses and apologies. Not that I don't believe Piro, I know what it's like to have artist's block (I get it whenever I try and draw a circle), but we'd just like solid reasons instead of his lame-ass excuses as to why he couldn't update for the day. I mean, no offense to Dom, but who thought up Shirt Guy Dom Days anyway? Probably Piro, who was looking to update the comic but was 'too busy' or 'too sick' or 'too tired' to do it.

You adults confuse the hell outta me. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Blah

Well, since it seems I didn't elaborate on what my first post meant, I'll make it mean something here.

Yesterday I had the displeasure of going to the school pep rally where the godbedamned seventh graders nearly blew my eardrums out. Also, 7 Blue's little body spelling thing didn't work so well, it resembled a lesbian orgy to us more than anything. It's because of things like pep rallies that teens get into smoking. I know for a fact that because I'm a loner, I might just start getting myself stoned before coming to the assembly. That way I'd actually feel comfortable around the other people. But then I get to thinking that perhaps joining in the group isn't such a good idea if I have to waste an hour or two of my life before the assembly puffing on coffin nails. I've never considered anyone to give a shit about me, but that's because I'm too biased in believing I'm nothing but a lowly POS. But before I get the shrinks again, I'll continue.

Consider this. Your dad has not been smoking for over 5 years. And because he loses his job, he takes it back up again. What do you do? Support his decision or be sooo fucking pissed you don't even talk to him anymore? Because if it's the former, and not the latter, then I just screwed up big time. I hate the fact that my dad took smoking back up. I asked him once, and he complied. What would happen if I asked him again? Nothing. He's too much like me, too self-critical, over-analytical to ever truly rest. Except for one difference. He knows how to rest, and be happy. No, it's me, the psychotic one, the one that's been attempting suicide since the tender age of 10 years old. And all these three years I've never figured out how the hell I'm still alive. Powers That Be need my help? :rolleyes: Doubt it, there are a lot of better people.

Last little bit for the time being. Lately, I've been studying philosophy, and a certain man by the name of Thomas Hobbes caught my eye. Not because I knew him, but because of the last name. Hobbes. Calvin & Hobbes. But I digress. A theory of his, the state of nature, is that in the state of nature, a time prior to the formation of any government, life was considered a perpetual war of all against all. In a way, it reminded me of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the skillfully labeled 'Hedgehog's Dillemma', which states that no matter what someone does, all the people around them are effected. Whether it is a good effect or a bad one depends on the situation, but I think that Eva's creator and Thomas Hobbes have a lot of parallel views. Someone shoot me, I'm becoming too analytical. Damn my ever-curious and annoying nature. Damn it I say.

With great responsibility comes many chances to abuse such responsibility.

Iiiiiiiit's Music Time!!!

Kisama. I've spent about two hours on this damn site and I'm already addicted. Normally I'd say this was a good site (not that it isn't) but I'm a bit suspicious...actually, no I'm not, I'm just trying to build some suspense, and failing horribly. Something I cannot seem to get out of my head is that damn new movie coming out. Fear dot com. Do you know how fucking funny it is to say www.feardotcom.com? For me it's a riot. But that's just because, as I've mentioned before, I'm clinically insane. Let me know if that tickles your fancy as well. Contact me at Wareyaiba-kun. Sources want to know! Oh, and if you'd like to find out what I write and judge how good I am, go to www.fanfiction.net and look for either Joak Drysso or Chibi Black Mage Ailen.

As for the title, I was listening to some of my stuff on KaZaA and got to a really really fun Blues song. In case you people haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, it's called Tank ! and the saxophone player is awesome. There are times when I wish I played the sax, but I wouldn't give up the clarinet for anything *clutches onto clarinet* It's mine damn you, mine! :flip:

Continuing on the Music subject, but a different genre, I was just listening to Creed's 'My Sacrifice' and am now listening to Nickelback's 'This Is How You Remind Me'. I'm probably the only thirteen year old that loves eighties rock like Def Leppard, Van Halen, and all of that stuff. What can I say, as Journey's album once said, I was 'Raised on Radio'. Van Halen would probably be the biggest influence on my music choices, seeing as more than half of my KaZaA audio files are devoted to their songs and remixes of their songs. Plus alternative and punk bands. And, surprisingly enough, J-pop. I know, now you're probably thinking 'okay, I knew he was an idiot at first, but this is just too much!' But bear with me. Until you've heard Heart of Sword and Fourth Avenue Cafe you do not know what J-pop is. There was also a file I found that was mildly interesting, Blink 182's version of '867-5309'by Tommy Tutone. Now don't get me wrong, I think Blink182 is an awesome band. But hearing them play an eighties rock song was just too much. I mean no personal offence, but if you somehow manage to find a way to accuse me of some, that's nice, but I really could care less. Quoting 'Ender's Game' "Your piss ain't perfume." Oh, and don't try and get into a qupte war with me, I have more than you could possibly imagine. :D

Cake

First off, to any of you whackos that think I'm talking about a food product, you're way off. I'm talking about the band Cake, who published albums like Comfort Eagle and Fashion Nugget.

For those of you who do know the band, I think it's uncanny how much their songs seem to reflect real life exactly. Like with 'Never There', they explain why so few long-distance relationships rarely work out. I would know, I was just in one, and it ended a bit abruptly (abruptly meaning within the span of ten seconds from her telling me that it was over to me hanging up). Now she's on my call block. What I don't understand is why she cheated on me, though. I stayed perfectly faithful to her (despite many, many temptations) and she waltzed off and gave up her virginity to some ass she'd met the day before. God, this pisses me off. :exp:

It's one of the reasons why I really don't trust anyone anymore. So far my naive persona has only delivered pain, so it's to two swap naivette for paranoia, if it'll keep me from suffering as much as I did. But I suppose it's enough of the angsty stuff.

What to say about my sword classes...humm, that's a tough one. Gene, the instructor, is an awesome guy. He showed me this new wrapping he'd had done for himself in Japan. And then he pulled out a Chinese short sword. Turns out the handle for the katana cost more than the entire short sword, but then again, the Chinese never caught the gist of the katana. It's the Japanese people who know how it works. Only Dave and Gene showed up for class today. Dave's one of the 22-year olds I have to spar with. Kinda gives you an idea of where I'm at, ne? It was funny. Before my first official test I was already sparring with people nearly twice my age. But they say I'm coming along fine, and I'm inclined to trust them. I tried to go farther forward on my knee. I could hold the position for about five seconds before it started hurting like a bitch. And when I say farther forward I mean to the point where your kneecap is almost a foot ahead of your big toe. Lots of strength required to do this, and I'm not exactly in the best of shapes, but I do okay. I'll just keep at it and get what needs to be done...well, done. And then I'll be ready to start advancing.

One may only be true to oneself. And no one else.

The W Files

Well, after my latest incursion into the newbiedom that is half of Warcraft 3, I have returned to try my first attempt at real humor. Prepare for the worst.

Here's the concept of the map:
_____
| x x |
| |
|x___x|

That's as good a relation of it as you can get on this shitty computer. So sorry. So anyway.

Here I am, humans as always, since I'm able to wreak utter havoc on the dirty lil bastards with the steam tanks. But again I digress. My ally is orcish, so I'm working on upgradin,g and for some reasons he's mass-producing peons. Now I'm thinking 'What the hell is wrong with this guy? Peons won't do any good in battle.' So I try and ask him what the hell he's doing. My response is a bunch of symbols in a mixed up jumble. But my response-I've played on battle.net for quite some time-was automatic. "Ah shit. You're Korean."

And I'm right, too. The stupidass sends all his peons to scout out the area. He finds the enemy base, and his peons are all mauled by a single orcish watch tower. And I'm sitting here cussing the moron out while trying to cover my own ass. Sure enough, two minutes later the moron is wiped out, and my base is attacked. Luckily, I was prepared, and the force was screwed over. So the map was now like this.

_____
|x x|
| |
|____x|

So I figure "Now is as good a time as any. So I have my Archmage Mass Teleport my tanks and my cover units into Red's base. In less than a minute the base is reduced to rubble and I have an idea of where the last base is. So just picture the above map without the x in the top right corner. Now I know the moron's gonna try to attack my base while I'm not there, which was why I built up on peasants and defensive towers. So when the inevitable attack comes, whatever hope the guy had was taken out. About 6 cannon towers opened fire on his people, dealing massive damage while I used the call-to-arms bell and suddenly what's left of his force is mobbed by peasants in armor with axes. Rather humorous prospect, really. And while his strike force was getting fucked over, my people were basically operating without resistance. Imagine an enraged Anakin, fully armed, in a mob of Sith children without lightsabers or force abilities and you have the extent of how badly the guy was gonna get fucked over. Kinda like Osama and our daisy cutters, y'know? Well, I ended up winning, only to find the damn Korean dude in my channel. So I start cussing him out in every language known to me, and the bastard won't leave. So I just signed off and came here to blow some steam off. And there you have it. The first edition of 'The W Files' *cheesy theme music plays*.

PS: The thing is gonna display the maps wrong, the vertical lines are supposed to be at the edge of the underscores. Damn this computer.

Tower Defense...What's the Point?

Another version of the W Files, but this is an informal episode. Tower Defense, a modified version by a certain Arkguil. A genius, but the people that play his game sure as hell aren't.
Setup: x=players
Top
x x

x x

x x

x x

x x
Bottom
That's the primary setup of the level. Now here's what you're trying to do. On the top and bottom 25 monsters spawn per round and try to head to the middle. Each of the Xs marks a player that builds towers to help kill said monsters. You have 40 lives, and when you deplete them all-though one time a game I was in glitched and we ended up going through the game with negative lives-you lose. So I'm sitting here with a full game, everyone's building and everything. And suddenly I notice that top-right has a huge leak. And it's the first level. With one hit kills for god's sake. So I check out the base. The fucking moron hadn't even upgraded his towers. So it was up to me and Nut, a friend of mine who's a year younger than I am and is taking pre-calc, to save top's asses. Luckily, we have a very effective, useful system. Lots of Stun Towers early on. And then we move on to the elemental buildings. So nothing's getting through the top. Well, I kept building Fire Towers, and we had no real air defense. So I began constructing a lightning tower right when the air units spawned. So imagine waiting for something that could save your ass to be built, with your targets coming ever closer. Luckily, it was built in time and our asses were covered. From the top at least. Bottom had ended up with a huge leak, so we could only pray as the blue dragon whelps made their way towards the middle. I'd like to say we survived, but Bottom and middle were leaking badly early on in the game, so we ended up getting screwed over.

So I go to another Tower Defense game, this time it's a Blixel's, free for all. I beat my old record of eight levels, but only by two. They're ridiculously hard. I could have done better, but for some reason I was in a funk. Couldn't think straight. S I got screwed over in that one. And I went to Maze Defense this time around. Got to the last level and we would have made it had the bottom-left corner not leaked their boss. It kinda sucks, because we don't really stand a chance with so many newbies. Kind of a major pain in the ass. So I've given up on War 3 for the day and I'm just gonna roam around until I fall asleep. I guess I'll talk to you people later. Ja ne, minna-san!

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade! And when the going gets tough, the tough make lemonade!

The W Files: 2nd Episode

Konyanichi-wa! Ohayo gozaimasu, boku wa Wareyaiba-kun! *stops being bubbly* Okay. Sugar high done. I have been making rapid incursions into the world of Warcraft 3 on battle.net, and recently ran into a CTF Hero game. I haven't tried this out, so I join. Half-way into the game one of our runners changes teams and steals the flag. Well, needless to say we're pissed as hell. So what do they do?> They shove all their money off on me-I'm the engineer, I make the defense-and go off. Surprisingly, they all get killed. Unsurprisingly, Red and about five other people got killed by repeatedly running into goblin land mines. T'was quite the funny scene. So when I finish up on the flag hall defense (something around twenty 200-222 damage towers on each side) I start remaking the mines. About thirt seconds later, when I'm halfway done, they come back. Only two are killed by the mines, but Red makes an amazing show of skill and stupidity and busts down the door, and runs inside.

He died half a second later.

And that's exactly where all of the rest of them died too. None saw the true extent of my base defense. If they did..well, I'd pity them. Well, sorta. Actually, I wouldn't. Instead I'd laugh my ass off as they tried to get to it. And Red actually got some siege weaponry. Luckily, my level ten Tauren Chieftain was on hand to beat the shit out of both the hero and the siege weaponry. I knew there was a good reason why I hated Red. Anyways, we managed to win that round. And I'm gonna wrap this up so I can try and get to level five on the ladder. So for now, ja ne!

I just don't see how the hell these people in Tibet have a scalp of the Yeti. I mean how the hell did they get it, if the Yeti is really some gigantic huge and frightening monster? Sounds like some shit for the X files to me.-Norman Tan

Well, I apologize for not updating for a while. Things were aaaaalllll screwed up and with school and everything going...well, it's getting to be a pain in the ass. So my next rant. And no, the title has nothing to do with the rant. I just like it. So there. :p

Aaaanywho, the first topic of the day. La Blue Girl. Hentai. DAMN WEIRDEST thing I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. Girls getting raped by creatures. I knew there was a friggin reason hey called it tentacle hentai. Scheiss, I hate to even think of it. I can't believe my friend downloaded it. I was spending the night at his house so we could go to a five-dollar concert (you'd be amazed at how well some of the local Arizona punk bands-especially Girl Repellent-sound). He showed me the thing. Mein gott, I was about ready to drive his head through the wall. So I talked his mom into driving us there a bit earlier and we got in a game or two of laser tag before going outside to wait for his friends. And of course he keeps trying to hook me up. So all I can do is sit here and twitch horribly while he introduces me to girl after girl after girl. And they seem to like me, but I know it's either forced or unpure. But that's just to me. They could be very different, but it's just how I percieve a lot of teens. Sex-starved people looking for any way to lose their virginity before 15.

Next topic, laser tag. The real-life equivalent of Counterstrike. Hella fun. I was running around taking out people quickly. I also managed to find my sniper spot one game, and forgot how to get to it right after. But I was sitting here in the perfect spot nailing everyone. I was in a high enough position that finding them wasn't all that hard. I managed to get all of the bases so I had a hella high score. I am god >< Don't tell me wrong or else. :tsk:

Well, I'd better go and do some of the homework that needs to be done before I get grounded. Ja!

I still live

Sorry for not updating for god knows how long, but that's what happens when you're stuck doing schoolwork and have been banned from the computer during weekdays. Still, excuses, excuses, so I'm making it up now. I've been studying myself and other people lately. Not for any particular reason, just to understand human beings a little bit better. And no matter what I do, I manage to dig myself further into the hellhole that is my life. Although I suppose after twenty failed sepukku rituals, the highers-up might want me to live. Oh well, I like the assortment of scars on my body and the lil pentagram on my forehead. Gives me a bit of character, y'know?

Humans are truly the most fucked up of all creatures. We pretend to understand all, to know everything, to have unlocked the most arcane of secrets, and yet we still worry about the monsters underneath the bed. Adults and children alike fear not being alive the next day. If we were anywhere near as wise and all-powerful as we pretend, there would be no need for the armed forces, navies and air forces of the world. We'd have world peace. But not, we have to mantain the illusion that America is the godliest of nations. If we truly are, why can't our leaders to anything that would actually help us? What we need are people with the will to lead, but compassionate enough to understand what's too far, what's too close, and complacent enough to settle for what's in between. Why can't we do for the world what Molotov and Ribbentrop did for Russia and Germany? I mean sure, the non-agression pact between the two was inevitably broken sometime during the moves into Poland, but Stalin and Hitler were like fire and ice, and the two negotiators were skilled enough to make a ceasefire that lasted as long as it did. But the difference is that while not all nations have good leaders, the ones that don't are third world countries. Cuba and Iraq, led by terrorists who cannot possibly will their people to greatness because the morons cause their people's sufferings themselves. I mean absolutely no disrespect to any Cubans or Iraqi, but from my view the people ruling these two nations ought to be put in front of a firing line so their people can be saved. Of course, though, the US is charging in there, guns blazing, and the entire damn country will be wiped off of the face of the earth. I may be exagerrating, but the thought-and plausibility-still exist. Sad as it may be, our world is ripe to be screwed over either by ourselves or by visiting aliens that we didn't even know existed.

That's all for me for the time being. Need to relax after this ridiculous political rant. Ja matte, minna-san!

A light is destined to break through the veil of fire and cleanse all that fire has burnt. My friend, my child, you are that light.-Korleias Fastflame to Keikeru Tayashi, Chapter 3 of Firebane
