Californian Sojourn

7:00pm

Ah-Nuld comes on the RNC to speak. I can't wait to see what the man says and will be quite depressed if there isn't a girly man statement...

Update: I'll tell you what though Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele (MD) just gave a damn impressive speech. One that I hope reaches more people, minority or otherwise, that the best way in which to reach a good life is to none other than work hard for it and not seek government's help.

Ooop, Ah-Nuld's on.

The Aftermath: Damn he's good. I certainly don't agree with the man on everything and yet...wow. This man certainly knows how to inspire despite cliched usage of his movie titles. The man got me smiling and using one note cheers. Sheesh, I usually pride myself on avoiding such displays, even when in private. Anyways...great stuff and "girly man"was in there! Righteous!

Yea, I Know

Yup, as you have noticed the blogging has been a bit sparse lately. Most of it is due to the lack of subjects really appealing to me lately but also add to the fact that I've decided to dive head first into schooling (even going extra-cirricular with my reading) I've been a bit preoccupied. So I ask your forgiveness and promise that more goodness is coming, from me to you.

And here I was quite happy with my Sissification post.

The Sissification Of America...

I've heard some ridiculous and absurb things in my time and sometimes you believe you've heard it all. But then sometimes you pierce that fog of ignorance and realize you haven't heard nothin yet. Take Michelle Malkin's latest post. She brings us knowledged of "cuddling parties," perhaps one of the most pathetic and downright childish behavior I have happened to come across in my years (which, though small, have been quite filled).

Now I understand how we humans are social creatures and the need for others, other people, to be around us and to be with us is quite powerful. Nonetheless that draw should never over-power sense, and these "parties" are quite deprived of sense. They are supposed to answer the need of human interaction, human touch, and yet entirely deprave you of why that touch is of importance to us. You see as humans often times the most important thing we seek is acceptance, to have others accept us and to seek us out to be around. From that usually comes the human interaction, we touch, we hug, we shake hands in a sign that we want a person in our company (granted that isn't always true but most of us don't have ulterior motives like some spy or whatever). These parties take out the "acceptance" part and give us only the "touch." Do these people really accept us? Hardly, they're glad to see your money and they'll do what ever is needed to "fullfill" the part of the bargin that money bought. Is that acceptance? Don't think so and all you're doing is getting "screwed." Sound like that social contact you've been seeking? Yea, right. Welcome to a new form of prostitution and this time they don't even need to worry about disease or nothing. Perfect. So now we have men (and I can only assume women as well) "in need of contact."

Men...suck it up. You want "contact," you want that feeling of acceptance? Earn it. Not through money but through doing something with yourself, doing something with your life and find success. Be a good person, reach out to help other people. Do these things, as well as infintely more things, and you will earn this acceptance. Don't debase yourself, don't pay for something you can earn perfectly on your own. Bascially be a man, be a gentleman, be those things women look for in a man, and you'll not only get social contact, you'll get friends. Hell, you may even get a wife and that is far more worth your time and energy than someone who is willing to "spoon" with men who pay money.

Lord save this country from ourselves....

Los Angeles Korean Film Festival

And to follow in line of the last post, the Egyptian theatre will be presenting a group of films during the Los Angeles Korean International Festival. Two of the films, Sympathy for Mr Vengence and A Tale Of Two Sisters I have seen and highly recommend. The festival runs for two days at the Egyptian from September 24th to the 25th. I highly recommend that if you get a chance you go and see these films and of course I'll be sure to try my damndest (schedule permitting) to be there for both days. More information can be obtained here. Some how I expect these showings to sell out quickly so mark the calendar and keep an eye on it if you want to catch it.

Japanese Pop Culture Screening + Seminar

Yay, a new post!

Sorry faithful ones that I've haven't been blogging for more than a week. I just happened to be uninspired during that time for some reason or another and now I'm glad to report the drought is over.

On Sunday September 26th @ 3:00pm the American Cinematheque will be showcasing a Japanese Pop Culture Screening and Seminar (details here). Needless to say I'm going and will definitely be interested in the roundtable which includes Roy Lee and Eric Nakamura. This is a perfect oppurtunity to gain further perspective on Japanese Pop Culture and the impact it is beginning to have here in America (as oppose to the way it's been for decades of American influence).

Should be interesting and, as always, I'll give a full report here.

A Twisted Confession

Alright, I don't know what it is but I have a strange infatuation with X-Play host Morgan Webb. The show is stupid, the humor dry and rather basic, and Webb herself just hams it up but through all that it doesn't matter. The girl isn't even that attractive and yet, there it is. Is it because she appeals to the slight geekisms I hide desperately from the world? Is it the ever-changing hair color? I don't know but I'm hooked.

Someone save me from myself...

Politics And What's Being Kept From You

The Left has gone freaking insane over this Swift Boat Veterans deal.

Needless to say people heed me on this, you're not getting all the information if you simply watch the news or you listen to the government or you listen to the politicians. If there has been one thing blogging has shown me, it is that there is a horde of information out there that is glossed over and simply ignored by mainstream media that the blogosphere has brought to light and the cracks MMS armor is beginning to show as more and more people read this information. There is no conspiracy theories, there is only denial and apathy that must be broken to keep our politicians, right or left, honest. But the only way these thigns will come to light, for shadow to be gone is to search out this information yourself.

This Hardball situation justs brings it ever more to the forefront. I heard the audio and I very much tried to think logically while listening and I can tell you, in my honest opinion, that what Malkin says about the interview herself is right on the money.

What a freaking joke...

Let me just add one interesting observation. Looking at Malkin's trackbacks to the post above I've noticed that several bloggers have went and jumped all over for being upset about her treatment on Hardball. The interesting thing I find is that most of these people gloss over (you notice the trend yet?) the very fact that Matthews himself flew off the handle on his show (with Olbermann jumping in) and would not let Malkin answer Matthew's "direct" questions. Not to mention the very fact that according to Malkin Matthew's hadn't even researched what the hell he was responding firecely to. This is what I mean, little things like research don't matter in the TV business, who shouts the loudest does. Obviously Matthew's didn't know how to respond with a proper demeanor because he knew he couldn't respond correctly period so he interupted and shouted down Malkin as much as possible. Listen to the audio link, Malkiin does raise her voice but only to try and answer the very question she's being shouted at to answer.

Another funny thing, Bush is Hitler, Bush deserted, Bush is in bed with Haliburton, and the numerous other purported "facts" stated by high ranking Democrats and members of the Left are alright to discuss. But raise an issue about Kerry and he is beyond the reproach. PEOPLE just ask yourself how this is allowed. How is it allowed? Don't you think there is something a little fishy about that? Just maybe? I ain't saying the Right is perfect, but come on, break through the facade the Left has put up and realize that they thrive on mis-information. It's just so damn obvious...

Someone on the Left thinks Matthew's was outta hand too. Granted that's probably all he'd agree with me on in this post. (He isn't a fan of Malkin's either.)

UPDATE: Just read this and you'll see the freaking hypocrisy that is the mainstream media.

An Observation From A Humble Position

I tell you what, they don't show nearly enough, nor is enough credit given to, fencing. Great drama and perfect for TV in the mixture of skill and speed.

My only regret is the lack of longer back and forth between the opponents mainly due to the fact that there isn't any reason to hesitate when going for a "kill" because in most cases there is no fear of pain or injury (as the olden days give us). How to remedy such a matter is unknown to me, but it's just something I noticed...

Assessing The Situation...

Well I've decided to take the next few days off from blogging. I'm a bit burntout lately with school starting up and the job search continuing and really need to concentrate on getting a regular routine going. Once that's accomplished I'll be back with relevant and insightful commentary on something or other. It's only gonna be a few days and I'll probably be providing throw away posts in the meantime, for my own enjoyment...

New Japanese Word (Phrase) Round 2

And this is one that I can understand AND not be afraid of.

"Akita Bijin"

Hmmm, seems the next edition will have to be something not involving Japanese women....
