Khair ad Din.
Comments on commentary-

Irish- Party at your place! *busts through the wall like the Kool-Aide Guy*

Ohhhh yeah!

Tetsusaiga- You should go on one. I don't recommend Dallas- it's stuffy and the traffic is horrid.

All work and no play makes tetsusaiga a dull boy(?).

Where does his ghost now roam? What towers, what vast places does he now haunt? INDEED, Where can I find his cursed shackles, the depths of his sorrow- where does it reside, that beating heart, that lonesome beating heart? I desire to see it dead.

Theme song of this post: Passion by Hikaru Utada.



I am shocked to see you all again- but I have survived my glorious trip to Dallas mostly intact. Many great battles were fought- indeed, it was a difficult fight to get back to San Antonio, but I have arrived. And, once again, Waxahachie is an awesome place to stop for gasoline.. and not much else. But the Diet Dr. Pepper (the berries and cream version) I got there was the best thing I have ever tasted. Indeed, it was ambrosia- or drugs, perhaps. Maybe a mix of drugs, ambrosia and sex. Anyway, combine all the addictive and delicious things (drugs are delicious? sex is delicious? Well I mean, sex is but..) into one small package and you have Diet Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream. You must try some- you will never drink any other caffeinated beverage but it ever again.

Without fail anytime anyone asks a group of young adults about emotions (specifically the question of what emotions you feel the strongest) 90 percent of the answers involve some sort of negative emotion. Depression, anger, hatred, self-loathing and the horrible, utterly deplorable emotion of "happiness". I'm not sure what has happened to curse these poor, poor.. uh.. children(?) with such negative emotions but I do hope that they find some sort of closure with their angst soon because it's really dragging me down, I have to say. I hope that the problems they face- the harsh, unyielding reality that drags them down to the deep, deep, deep, deep, DEEP depths of the abyss they now exist in- are not so horrible, so utterly nightmarish that they cannot face the next day full of the slings and arrows of life. Fight on, melodramatic young adults! Fight on and reach for your dreams, your hopes, your aspirations.. TOGETHER, yes together, we can achieve so much and put aside our petty, (pitiable), (irritating), (silly) problems.

*takes a sip from his Diet Dr. Pepper Berries and Cream* Mmmm~~ Delicious and addictive.

I've seen many a movie in the last week- V for Vendetta was very good. I'm not pro-Democracy (SORRY GUYS) but the message was still easily agreed with. The plot was coherent and deep enough to draw you in, the acting was great (especially V's dialogue) and the special effects were very enjoyably realistic. I didn't have any problems with it- in fact, I couldn't really form a coherent opinion of it for several days. I went into it not knowing what to expect- an action movie? A typical comic book movie? A deep philosophical examination of a corrupted government system spiced up with giant explosions? My questions go unanswered still but I do know one thing- all the movie needed was a bit more cowbell.

Lord of War is sexy as well. I enjoyed it more than V for Vendetta because I have a hearty appetite for dark humor. Like, "GIVE ME MORE PREASE" levels of want. The message was.. a message that I got, but don't fully agree with. I'm not a pacifist.. or pro-gun control. War is something that humans cannot give up. Our aggression and our expansionist tendencies can never be forgotten- it's in our blood. Your ancestors, my ancestors all killed and had blood on their hands. The countries you live in were created (or, possibly, destroyed) by warfare. Your freedoms, your ability to make a livelihood- all of it depends on past bloodshed.. and, likewise, present or future bloodshed will affect your children's lives. We do it well, really. We have an uncanny sense of ingenuity in regards to killing devices- maybe an unhealthy addiction to violence. That effect when you drive past a car wreck where you just have to see- it interests us, in a macabre way. But, indeed, the movie is worth a watch.

We watched Pirates of the Caribbean twice- I had seen it already but, come on. It's POTC. You have to watch it once in awhile just for the rum part of the movie. "No!!! Not good, stop! Not good.. What're you doing?! You're burning all the food, the shade.... the rum!" "Yes. The rum is gone." "Why is the rum gone?!" "One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels; two, that signal is over a thousand feet high! The entire Royal Navy is looking for me. Do you really think there's even the slightest chance that they won't see it?" "But why is the rum gone?!" Awesome.

While there I beat We <3 Katamari. That leaves only the handheld Katamari Damacy that I have not beaten. I WILL CONQUER IT SOON.

I shall slaughter the remnants of his person, his being- the very thoughts, desires and dreams that broken shell has left. Watch it shatter, watch it burn- watch the last scene play out. When the curtain falls, who will be left to mourn his loss? No one.

Tata.

P.S. Today's theme song.

P.P.S. I cannot deliver this poem to the person it is intended for. Therefore, I impart it to you all so it still has meaning.

Guilty as charged, friends
Released- freedom rings!
I can feel a great weight lifted~
Only to be dropped upon me again

I apologize! Truly and really I do,
Your memories still ring true, promises; promises..
Similar to a rose, I recall your thorns
But you were such a Goddess they didn't matter at all

Your death, woeful as it was
Perhaps I have moved on from it
And the ghastly images haven't left yet
But the happy memories will hopefully never fade

Your hand.. and mine, together again
Such dreams have crossed my mind
An impossibility but dreams are always such
I know you have moved to another chapter!
The great abyss; indeed, the great beyond
To lives and people beyond just I

So, live on! Your scars still sting
And I rejoice that they do
I won't forget those winter nights
When I watched you sail away

I wish I had remembered to wave goodbye
All I could do was feel myself slip away
But I know you sailed on smiling
And only now can I smile back

So, live on! My cross is light as always
I still march on, my cup never empty
Call on me and I will come
Wherever
Or whoever
You are now

My sweet rose.

P.P.P.S. Perfidious is my new favorite word. I SERIOUSLY need you all to start saying it. Say it tons. All the time. Well, not that much- just enough so it keeps it's magic.

Thank you in advance.

P.P.P.P.S. IT'S TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE TODAY ON ALL SALES OF CRAPPY KEN POETRY.

I have a vision of a place of rest
A place that's best
For friends and family
Could that be reality?
Will we ever see
The day that Gods and Men
And Men and Gods
Go hand in hand
To places far beyond this land
To things we never imagined we could see
And become things we never imagined we could be
Transcend petty nationalistic tendancies
Overcome boundries and have some sympathy
For brothers and sisters we all are
Realize that and you've come far
It's not just me or you
There is so much for all of us to do
Goals to make,
Steps to take
And I can hardly wait.

Woooo~ Awesome.
