The Shittiness: Have And Have Not All On One Tree
One family tree that is, so strap yourself in cause this is gettin’ personal. In my dad’s opinion, you always reap what you sew. If you burn your bridges, your family isn’t there to help you. If you’re shit with money and fail at life, that’s your bad. But he’s extremely forgiving. I am too; more so even because I don’t put myself on the same moral high...

Aniblog Reminiscing! (While drinking!)
Ahaha! 2008. I was 17 and my blog was only somewhat not-totally-shitty. I had, however, just passed through the shittiest period of my blog up to that point because I hadn’t been watching anime but had still been trying to blog about it. Anyway, that part’s boring; the cool part is Oi, Hayaku!
For my first year and a half of blogging, I wasn’t aware of any “anime...

A Way In Which Being A Kid Is Really Shitty
Babysitting my 8, 10, and 12 year-old cousins is nostalgia-inducing, being as I too am one of three brothers and was once “that age.” The nostalgia comes from what these three kids do all day.
They play video games, most of which they suck at, and their attention spans are too short to get better at them. They play shitty browser games and watch shitty newgrounds videos and all that...

This Gift Just Ain't Done Giving
I’m talking about My Little Pony, which I’ve become a much bigger fan of since the last tumblr post I wrote about it. Was season 2 that much better than season 1? Probably more like, spending more and more time with the ponies just made them grow on me more and more. But there’s also all these gifts it keeps giving me!
I love it when something that I enjoy is popular. It means...

Tool (With Yob) - Wish I'd Seen This Six Years Ago...
I wish I’d seen Tool back in 2006, back when I was really really into them, particularly when they toured with Isis and Mastodon; two bands which I was just discovering at the time of that tour, and which became some of my favorites at that time. So many things would’ve been better. 10,000 Days probably wasn’t even out then, but even if it was, I probably still liked that album...

The One Thing I Wish My Little Pony Had
Is more consistency across episodes. A number of the most satisfying bits in the series come from the continuity nods and consistencies that do exist, such as Rainbow Dash’s backstory surrounding her Sonic Rainboom, Fluttershy retaining her abilities to discipline animals, and the last episode of season one remembering previous episodes about the Grand Galloping Gala.
However, often the...

How My Band's New Album Unlocked My Ipod's Hidden...
First things first, here’s our first “official” (meaning, on Bandcamp) release, Best of Year One: http://trialofthegoldenwitch.bandcamp.com/album/best-of-year-one
This is a collection of the 22 most listenable songs that my band has recorded in the past year. I think it’s quite a fun and cool collection. I’d have released it for free, but Bandcamp won’t let...
suchadojikko asked: Actually, you were (partially) correct. The poster on the left is BRS, but to the right is Durarara!! (The same one I gave extra copies of to Vic) and above is FMA. The orange one is from Hanna is not a Boy's Name, a webcomic I really like. :D

“My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow...”
– WTF I said almost this exact thing (albeit in far less flowery language) to my brother like yesterday. I am consistently amused by how much my ideas run parallel with those of Lord Henry from The Picture of Dorian Gray.

When I’m done with this dentist appointment
I hope my friend picks up the phone
And I find out I overreacted
And don’t drive to his house
With no idea what to expect
And don’t run into his mom
And find out about some drama
Because I don’t know if I should be this involved—
If I should let you figure it out in your own—
Because I’m just a twenty...

Everything to Nothing
It’s funny to be confronted with exactly how much structure my life doesn’t have. I get used to things like, okay, on the weekends I’ll probably hang out with my friends all night on either Friday or Saturday, or I’ll probably get this or that much done in a week or what have you.
And then, the weekend comes, and I only see my friends for a few hours, and nothing happens...

No But Seriously, SOPA Is A Dark Cloud On My...
I’m trying to get a band off the ground, and I hope to do it using Bandcamp. I find the business model incredibly cool. I think the old ways of buying CDs are stupid—I won’t purchase something if I don’t get to listen to it first. In the past two years, all of the CDs I’ve purchased were ones that I either downloaded or streamed first and then bought them because I liked...
SOPA Doomsday Scenario
»SOPA passes »Entertainment industry jumps on chance to destroy the entire internet »Internet part of almost everyone’s lives, even housewives and old people outraged »Economy plunges »People revolt »America in disarray »Chance to launch war on America »America says fuck you nukes everything »World ends The Mayans prediction? It was all because of...

Is This How You Demo?
I don’t know exactly what a “demo” is supposed to be, I’ve seen context that it’s a thing you send to labels or what have you as a demonstration, and I’ve also seen it as sort of a “working” version of a track, usually without all the instruments yet figured out. This is the latter.
My band made an album of demo songs. The idea here is that...

Let's Organize and Understand Some Thoughts
The only way I know how: tumblr a post.
What’s this about? It’s about what I’m doing. I’m a NEET, which is a Japanese term for someone who is Not Employed, Educated, or in Training. I’ve been a NEET since last summer, so we’ll say six months.
What brought this post about is that my dad has warned me that I’ll need to start job hunting soon, like as soon...

A Highly Limited Frame of Reference
I don’t know many people and haven’t talked to a great variety of them at much length. As such, I think my frame of reference for how people are, in a way deeper than observing them, is very limited. I know things people say and do, but not the way they think like I would my friends.
When I’m creating a character, which I’ve done some 1,000 times, I’m creating their...
“We have forever to do that,” he said.
No, we don’t. If we don’t set the stage now, I have nothing to act on for the next few weeks. I need this, even if you don’t.
We do not have forever. You will leave us sooner than you think, sooner than any of us are ready for.
We have very little time. We need to do this now.

Virginia Beach—The Best Place To Visit in the US
After my month-long stay with @ghostlightning in Manila, my dad told him he was free to come stay with us in the States any time. At first, I found this proposition funny because if you were gonna visit the US, would you really waste the trip on Virginia Beach? Wouldn’t you want to go to New York or L.A. or someplace happenin’ like that? But over time, it’s occurred to me that...

For the Curious: A Rundown of My 23 Wordpress...
I seem to bring it up all the time how many blogs I have, yet despite being me, I’ve been coy about what these sites actually are. So let’s break it down, eh?
In order of when they were created, apparently:
You’ve read this blog! Not in this form perhaps, but Euphoric Field, my original blog, has never stopped existing. I moved it to fuzakenna, and then to My Sword is...

Some Things About "Are You the Cool Kids?"
After an expectedly lukewarm reception of our first album, I haven’t advertised Trial of the Golden Witch releases very much. After all, we aren’t playing pop music by any stretch, and the recording quality is less than good. I also don’t feel that we’re putting so much effort into our music that it begs for recognition. Nevertheless, *I* really enjoy our music. We all do,...

2011 In Music
At the start of 2011, I Wiki’d every band I like and determined that this would be a great year for music. It was, but not like I expected. Lots of bands that I love put out albums this year, but a lot of those albums weren’t very good. On the other hand, a bunch of bands that aren’t my favorites put out excellent albums that might turn them into my favorites.
A lot of the...

I Prefer Linear Storytelling
Yesterday, I was playing Cave Story, and I got to a point where an important side character had apparently died. I wasn’t sure if she was really dead or not, but I found out while reading a GameFAQs guide to get through the next area: as it happens, I could’ve saved her if I’d picked up a particular hidden item beforehand, but since I didn’t have that, she was doomed to...

僕の知らない物語: Some bassist →
skullheart:
He just stood there, idly plucking the E and A strings with a calm detachment unsuitable to the type of music he played. Dressed in black, with white face-paint laboriously applied, he diligently held down the mournful, ponderous drum beat.
Standing ramrod-straight, no swaying, just playing,…

Mastodon at the Norva with The Dillinger Escape...
After this show, my brother and I have seen Mastodon four times in the course of four years—first when they toured with Slayer after the release of Blood Mountain (my first non-festival concert), then at Mayhem festival, then co-headlining with Deathklok after the release of Crack the Skye, and now headlining on their own with the release of The Hunter. While Blood Mountain was a pretty...

Making Music Is Like Writing On Tumblr
Early this year, one of my best friends (we’ll call him George for the purpose of this post) joined and introduced me to a band called The Friday’ers. It consisted of George on bass, a guy we’ll call Arn (lol that’s his name) who was the leader and played lead guitar, a guy we’ll call Kanon on second guitar, and a guy named Herbert on drums. At first, they wanted me...

Some Guy Doesn't Like Me and Louie is Depressing
…not the anime fan whom I most recently knew as angelsharkbite, but the TV show by Louis CK. I’d never heard of Louis CK until the other day when I followed a link in a glothelegend post to his story of being told to suck a bag of dicks. Afterwards, I watched hours of specials and live videos, thinking, “I’ve found my favorite comedian.” Last night, I discovered he...

Returning My Useless Thoughts to Tumblr
For a couple of weeks now I’ve been thinking of returning to tumblr, having ditched it for google+ months ago. I’ve consistently wanted to do this but haven’t because I can’t figure out why I want to so badly. Okay, google+ altogether hasn’t been as cool as I’ve wanted it to be because it’s pretty slow and mostly consists of people sharing shit rather than...

Google Plus Killed the Tumblr Star
(It rhythmically fits!)
My tumblrs are now all officially dead in favor of Google+. There’s a level of connectivity and interaction there that Tumblr doesn’t have, yet it supports the same kind of blogging, so aside from the dubious perk of having a whole site for some specific thing (not that tumblr sites are cool at all), Tumblr really feels irrelevant.
I share most stuff on G+...
