Its been a few days since I last blogged and even my last two blogs were humongous jokes. Basically my life these last few days have been derailed and dedicated to watching Death Note. I had a huge list of to dos and now its just bigger and more backed up since for the past 3 days my main mission was to plow through every episode of Death Note. At least I was disciplined enough to to complete this mission because I annihilated 35 episodes and now all I need to do is download the 36th and wait a week for the 37th, unless the series continues. I would suggest watching this series if you are one who can put their mature pride aside and if you are willing to read subtitles. Pride because it is an anime and subtitles because it is all in Japanese, but really, why would you want to even watch any other kind of animation? And I personally prefer subtitles over dubbed version because I feel as though dubs hurts the artistic quality. I am constantly reminded why Japanese animation is truly one of a kind each time I watch one of their creations. They always seem to have amazing ground breaking animation and their stories are always infused with deep messages and they always have enough action to hook the average a.d.d ruled American. But if you liked 24, you might like Death Note. It has the same type of action where each time the protagonist does something impossible and it becomes less and less believable as the series goes on and you feel like you are wasting your life watching it, but for some reason you always come back for more. I will say the beginning of Death Note is better then the newer episodes, but it still worth watching and especially at the part where I am. Go N!
Now that I am free from the shackles of Death Note I plan on getting back to my normal life. I still need to adjust some things for school and get my financial situation fixed. It is all so confusing to me, but I think I will manage. I think this weekend was meant for me to get out and enjoy myself after two weeks of being locked inside. Friday there is a free secret acoustic show being put on by Minnesota's own Quietdrive at the Best Buy in Coon Rapids at noon. If I can find people who want to go, and a ride (I don't have a car), I plan on going. Quietdrive is a pop-rock band so anyone who likes Acceptance, or even Fall Out Boy might enjoy the set. Plus, its acoustic, if you don't like acoustic music you owe the next three people you see a blow job. Acoustic music is pretty much generally liked by all. (Be right back, poop break). I have the fastest pooper in the whole world. Where was I, ah right, Queitdrive, go to it. But I am really excited for the Senses Fail and From Autumn to Ashes show on Saturday. This is also free and will start at 4 at Maplewood Mall. FATA is opening with a 30 minute set and then Senses Fail will be closing the Couch Tour with their set. I will be going to this no matter what, so if you go, see you there! Thats all I will write about that show since I've written about it so many times already in previous blogs. I've been going to the orthodontics a lot lately and it looks like I am going to get braces here in the next few weeks. I am very nervous about it. I don't know how else to phrase it or what I'm nervous about, I'm just nervous. I've never been a fan of altering my body by means of western medicine. They are planning on pulling out one of my front teeth and knowing that once its pulled, I will never have it back scares me. Its my tooth, my body made it, the tooth that God gave me, and with a quick twitch, it will be lost. Its the tooth that I was suppose to live with for the rest of my life. And braces, yuck. But I guess my teeth will be more healthy and they will look better after everything is done, so I'll go with it.
Lately I've been wondering what it might be like to live alone. What it might be like not seeing a single human being for a couple of weeks. Would one go crazy? Or would one come out a stronger person? I think a little of both. I bet the worlds smartest, strongest, and best people are those who seem a little crazy. And I don't just say that because I think I'm crazy and getting worse, but rather cause I think it true. I just don't think many people could go a month with zero human contact, I don't think I could. What about no direct human contact for 3 months? You would have internet and things. That I think I could do. Basically the only people I've seen over the past two weeks are my family and really just Dick since Leah is busy with her friends, and my parents do nothing but work. To eliminate one person from my life doesn't seem that tough. Really all I do is sit on the computer to read and use it to help me create poorly made visuals and audios, or else I read books, go out and play basketball with the occasional video game break. I do things already by myself, I've learned how to do this since summer started. I forced myself to learn. Along with this, I wonder what it might be like to have power and to have people fear me. This thought was only put into my head because of Death Note. But what if I had a Death Note, how would I use my power? This is what I think, people who have power will always abuse it. I can say now if I ever gain that sort of power, I will use to help people and truly mean it, but I think that if I ever did earn that sort of power, I would only use it to advance my well being. I think this is the same way with everyone, no one is immune to it. I hope day I will be tested, and that maybe I can pass that test.
So today I slept for 10 hours because yesterday I thought it would be cool to go with only 5 hours of sleep. My Mom called me after a late night around 8 a.m and I thought about going back to bed, but hopped out of bed instead. Well after an active day, my body was ready to shut down come 9 p.m. I think I might run an experiment and see how much sleep deprivation effects ones ability to think. But it is so hard for me to crawl out of bed for some reason, and lately its been hard to even go to bed. So I can't go to bed, but once I do, I can't get out. I'm fucked up.
Time to edit some thangs. Thank you Adobe Premiere.
