I don't get the phone thing. I really don't. Saying "hello" numerous times is really a very logical course of action, as it serves to verify whether or not the connection was made, and whether or not the other person is listening if indeed it was. But it's not logical! I think it's absolutely bizarre that people would even do that. It shouldn't take a thousand Hellos for someone to be acknowledged. I think my main issue is that I think they're being disrespectful; like they're ignoring me. AND I keep thinking that if you're not ready to talk then don't call or answer the phone. Distractions be damned. *puts Santa hat on you* That reminds me of calling my brother. He doesn't replies if you don't ask for something. I think that something disrespectful is when you have a date with someone and that person keeps getting calls or call people at very 10 minutes. And/or takes too long on the phone... It makes me think that I shouldn't have gone there, but instead I should talked with her via phone... |

It makes me think that I shouldn't have gone there, but instead I should talked with her via phone... Oh god... I can SO relate to this! The kiyuki situation! I hate, hate, HATE it when I'm meeting up with someone and that other is constantly on the phone. Ye are with ME right now! Pay attention to I! DX And it doesn't even have to be if there is only ye and the other person. If one is with one's group of friends, and one friend is just constantly on the phone, then.... the other person just doesn't even feel there, ye know? :/ Certainly not mentally. T____T So yeah.... I feel like ought to simply call those people up too, and talk to them that way. :'D As for the nunuu situation, not sure if this is the same exact case that she has buuuuut.... I kind of really dislike it too if someone is shouting 'Hullo! HulllllooooooooOO!!!!' non-stop and banging down on (what is the exact word for this?) the.... the disconnect, cradle button thing(!)? Urgh! Especially the banging on the cradle button! How, what, why would ye keep shouting if ye have disconnected from the damned call by yourself?! >____< Why did I go to bed by the time my parents were already awake last night (this morning)? That's what happens with me and my mom too. :'D We call it the 'changing of the guards'! X'D And thank you~! <3 Ah.... forgot the random thought(s)! - Why do my intended one line posts end up as unreadable walls of text?! X( - And, Meiko is awesome.  |

People that leave the dinner table (or any eating time) to answer a phone, should all be burnt to death! Its seriously one of my biggest pet peeves.

People who say "There's a reason for everything!" can screw off. Second vitriolic random extremely relevant thought of the day, after finishing a quite frankly ridiculous exam, receiving news that Lord Koshiro is for Etrian Trois AND Lord 'Matsu to remix Bach(?!), can the day's news get any better?  |

But if you answer the phone, say "hello" once, and don't hear a response, why should you just hang up? >:E! Read my initial rage on this~! I never said just to say it once. I NEVER say or ask hello JUST once and then hang up. That'd be ... silly. ^^;; I usually do one or two or even three and at that point, I KNOW that either they can't hear me or their head is in some other place at the moment. THAT, to me, is logical and common sense. Also, I don't ask people to call back. I just do my hellos and then hang up. :P Like I said, if they really need to speak to me or talk to someone, they'll call back. Hell, with the crappy phone at work, we keep helloing the hell out of each other (well, I do more of an extended hello like heeellllllllllllloooooooooooooo) but both parties know to hang up and try again. To reiterate -- what drives me insane is when people say/ask hello 5 - 8 times. I have several co-workers that do this and just recently, I just told the guy to hang up already. >_> |

Hmm, thoughts? I realized if once that if something doesn't hurt anybody it isn't bad. Like, I think this is true to everything, pretty much. It is hard though, to live with this outlook when I've always got ideas of what's right and wrong based on stuff I've been raised by. I've never really been Catholic, even though I'm baptised, and I've never been Jewish even though my dad is (it passes through your mother I know, but the synagogue down the street says they'll accept me if I ever want to) Really, all that matters for me is to go my own way, even if it sometimes follows other however briefly (or otherwise). I don't believe I should ever be forced to follow whatever values I've found myself into, because if I feel something isn't right it can be accepted to change.
I think this is "living life without regrets" and I gotta start doing it, or else guilt will eventually eat its way out of me and I'll be an actual bad person. I should always reassess the situation and think about how I feel about something, rather than what I'm told, or even what I've told myself. Especially considering I'm the guy who always says that every belief is right, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, growing up I guess it happens. I just don't wanna get caught living a restricted life and dying sad is all.

Yeah, I definitely see where you're coming from. I need to remind you all, that it doesn't mean Go Crazy and Fuck Up Your Life: The Movie: The Game or anything, it is more like... Just try to enjoy yourself! Look at everything as an opportunity for learning and for bigger things |

A stupid fucking bastard on Facebook. I'm outside the quotes, he is the quotes. An exerpt:
I use "big words" due to my large vocabulary, which has been pushed even further due to my lust for intellectuality in my entertainment, and the amount that I value the words themselves found within these things. Basically, I'm not an idiot, and I'd rather not be seen as one regardless of how it makes me appear (pompous or otherwise).
I talk down to you good sir, because you had been talking down to me. I'm just trying to keep things civil, but you appear to have no civility regardless of the where or the when.
"Turns out to be from Metallica"? Why, I say, he does not "turn out" to be from Metallica, it is just that he is. You see, had he "turn[ed] out" to be from such a band there would have been some kind of folly in my quoting him, and there obviously wasn't, if for only the reason that I knew exactly who he was and where it was said (the fpptage was taken in the recording studio, fall 2002 I believe. The studio was in California). Actually, while I do listen to metal, I pride myself in the simple fact that my forays are much more serious than much other. I simply do not enjoy the mediocre music that most people listen to and I require some forthought put into the melodies and lyrical content of whatever is being put into my ears. No sirree, I am not satisfied by whatever is on the radio, but I go for more advanced and far placed musicians, often times from other countries, as I see nationality (or language) as something that, quite frankly, doesn;t matter, when it comes down to it. So you will see bands such Ayreon, a fine Dutch progressive electronica space-rock opera project, headed by the amazingly talented Arjen A. Lucassen, or Blind Guardian, a German 4 piece power metal band, with lyrics inspired by fantasy, sci-fi, and times long past, and instrumentation drawn from the Music of Olde (see the witty use of obsolete spelling, I am quite proud of that) on my CD case. Yes, I do assume I listen to much better, frankly smarter music than you do. Simply stated: If I am greasy for listening to Metallica, you're an absolutely whoreson of a dunce for not.... See More
Why the nerve! I never thought someone would flat out tell me I am not my jokes kind hearted. Dispicable!
Am I not? Are you not reading my counter argument this very moment. You see, believe it or not, I am part of it. Your defense is riddled with inadequacies and garish flaws, but I'm sure your mind shares a lot with the Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, or for need of a simpler word "Cave man".
Once again, wrong, seeing as I already do, and am well on my way to becoming quite the successful entrepeneur. Let's hope I find love, and you find coal whereever you look and whatever you are looking for (it could, and should be metaphoric coal) from this coming Christmas onward. That'd be a great night to start a curse.
How dare you!? I was touched... by my uncle who was also fixing my furnace. You terrible creature, remind me not of these crude memories, but please, of the wondrous life I could have... the loves. O, the woe of me, I am cursed with this vile feeling of a broken childhood, nae... love shall never come, for I am dirty. Actually, I jest! But I hope you enjoyed reading my sarcastic tragedy.

They really need to think up a way for humans to persist without needing so much sleep. You only need 40~ minutes of REM a day to be 100% functioning. Can take weeks to train yourself to be able to go instantly into REM, and you have to be dedicated to it,cause those weeks will be hell... but once done you can survive on 3-4 20minute naps a day, and it's healthier to boot(there's a strong correlation with life length and sleeping less...not not getting enough sleep, but people who simply sleep less). The real problem is the crushing reality that you now have 8-10 more hours in your day...every-day...you cannot be prepared for the boredom that awaits you. At first it's things like...I'm going to read classic literature...ALL of it...and then ...what? 6 months pass...and you DID it! Statistically I've consumed 4x more media than the average person does in a lifetime...I'm only 30~, I've seen every classic movie, read every book I've ever wanted...and have a room full of 10,000+ video games...and played practically all of them. It would probably be more bearable if you lived in a 24/7 city, but I don't. So there's those ten hours of the night you have nothing to do, but stay in your home...and try not to go insane. Anyways...that's my random thought of the day, |

Random thought of the day: I should compose. Constantly listening to amazing music MUST be beneficial in some sense, right? Disregarding plagiarism, obviously. But first, Piano! I'm worried I'll suck at playing due to being a relatively late bloomer though. I played when I was younger but I never loved music like I do now! Goddamn!

It isn't easy. I've practiced with a lot of software, and a lot of keyboards (Musical ones, not just PC keyboards!), and I haven't mastered anything just yet. I did sequence a BGM once -- Wind Elemental from Ironsword, and remix it. The remix is long lost. If ever I find it, I'll be sure to post it here someplace. Random thought: I'm looking up PS3 games, and adding them to a special Amazon Wish List " If ever I decide I want a PS3..." I'm finding out that I *like* a lot of PS3 exclusives, but I don't *love* it just yet -- not enough to buy one, anyway. Isn't the PS3 kindof useless without an HDTV, anyhow? I thought someone had mentioned that somewhere... If it weren't for my list, I'd have thought the PS3 to just be "that console that people only port games to but don't bother with exclusivity for shit".  |

Composing isn't easy at ALL. It may come naturally for some people, but fuck them, I work my ass off to compose. I have horrible pitch and am terrible at arranging, but I enjoy doing it. I came to the same realization as you though, about 2 years ago.
Random thought: Why do my gums still bleed when I brush my teeth, even though I do so regularly and very thorougly?

I've done a bit of composition way back when, using ScreamTracker 3 (which is the origin of the S3M music file). It's a pretty neat program, and allows you to create some pretty cool SNES-sounding stuff, if you're any good... which, I'm not really, but I still made some stuff *I* like, at least.  It's kind of embarrassingly lame, but I can dig it up sometime, if anyone wants to hear it. I find MOD and S3M composition a lot more fun than MIDI composition, since it's kinda more like programming than anything else. -Tom I'd love to! I too have had my share of fun with a program called ModPlug Tracker -- once I'd composed a somewhat sci-fi escape theme (that I'd planned on using for a sortof 2D survival horror project) but it's not *ready* to show off. It lacks polish, doesn't loop properly, and I don't think I'll ever personally finish it. I'd started on it years ago and don't think I'm prepared to pick it up again; mentally, musically, methodically... |

I wish I could compose but I have no sense of harmony or pacing/timing! XD I mean even after over 8 years of piano and learning some music theory and crap. :P
The best I can do when it comes to composing is making doot-doot noises from my mouth and dooting up my own tune. :P
Random thought: I seriously need to start up a journal for Aria of Sorrow. I only stopped playing it for two days and I can't even remember what the heck I was doing in the game. I THINK I'm going after a boss now? I'll dig up some walkthroughs and hopefully that'll jog my memory.
Random thought #2: Whee! 8-Bit Jesus!
