Do you need to go to College?

Today I want to talk about a common misconception that people always brainwash us with throughout high school. The saying that: YOU HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE! The other half of the phrase tends to lead to the following statements:

1. To be successful in life

2. To make lots of money

3. To become educated

Frankly, this is a dirty lie, and it misleads a lot of teens like us because:

1. Everyone has a different take on what success means. My indicator for success is when you make more money than your wife can spend XD

2. There are many alternatives if money is what your looking for.
A. A job that doesn't require a 4 year degree. There are high paying jobs that don't require a degree. Here are a few.

B. College is a HUGE investment. Over half of the people who go don't even graduate! The average annual cost of a year in a 4 year public (In-state) university is around $18,000! Also inflation raises that price by %6.8 or more a year! How long and how much more would that be with loan interest rates? Ever hear of the 30 year plan? If you are part of the half that dropped out; you would be better off now if you didn't go at all.

3. There are many paths to better yourself through learning. Some of the brightest people never went to college. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, etc. Lavish yourself in books, and learn from other sources. College does not make a person educated. A person educates himself through college.

A lot of people get into college for all the wrong reasons. I believe a person should go to college only if he needs to. Pursue something you want to do, and don't just pick a career for the money. You will be a lot happier doing something you enjoy than something you don't. This is why the phrase: YOU NEED TO GO TO COLLEGE! Is garbage. It's not your only option in life, and you should only go to college if you want to pursue a career that needs a degree. Let me put it this way. If you do something you enjoy in life, you will never have to work a day in your life.
Cheers ^^

Otaku Invasion!!!

Well I know a lot of you, after reading my blog, must think I'm the biggest geek in the world, lol. Well today I want to talk about the group of geeks called Otakus! Generally speaking there are plenty of subclasses inside the group itself. I only know 3 off the top of my head, but there are probably a lot more. There's the hardcore ones that watch anime till their eyes bleed, and live in their own worlds usually. They love to try things they see in anime, and make very detailed, accurate, sexy cosplays! Sometimes they can be elitists though, and I set those people on fire at conventions ^^ Then there are the CREEPERS!!! They are the darkside of our group. The OVERLY obsessive ones. They stalk lolis and moe girls or have a scary obsession with yaoi, and they like to dress up as the opposite gender, usually forgetting their own genders at some point. lol, well I could go on and on about creepers, but then we would never get to the last group. The Party Otakus! The Otakus who still have their social lives, and have that really SEXY CRAZY SIDE!!! They know how to party, and you can usually find them rocking out at your local con's Rave. Don't underestimate them though, they will still go toe to toe with you on their favorite animes. I personally used to be hardcore to the max up until near the end of freshmen year. Now I'm a Party Otaku who loves partying at conventions, rocking at Jrock concerts, and livin life everyday with some Otaku Funkiness :P But when it all comes down to it. Were all related. We are all anime lovers at the core. And we shouldn't look down upon others in our group unless were helping them up, no? Except Narutards, let those guys bleed to death! MWAHAHAHAHA! jk, lol, but yea, if you have friends who are living without anime ever being shined down upon their soul, then try to introduce them to something they might like. That doesn't mean strapping them down to a chair and supergluing thier eyelids open though. All in all we are getting to be a recognized group in America and other countries. Embrace your Otakuness! Don't be afraid or ashamed of it! After having this realization, join us! AND WE SHALL WAGE WAR AND DESTROY THE OTHER GEEK TRIBES!!!!!

MY MIND JUST FUCKING EXPLODED!!!!

Well, it's like pretty late right now. And I don't know if I'm myself right now, but it's not like I give a fuck right now either. I'm convulsing and shaking, and a whole bunch of other crazy things going on in my head. I did not expect my Friday to end like today. In my lifetime, I have enjoyed many movies, and some have even changed my life in ways also. However this movie has just rocked my very existence. I can't help but feel numb still. Sure any other person would just treat this as a movie. But this movie, which I expected to be just another testosterone pumping guy movie, has went far beyond my imagination. The movie simply being titled Fight Club, holds many many surprises. I could rant and rant about this, but long story short. It's my values and morals conflicting with my nihilistic beliefs rolled into one fucking movie. I could hardly believe it in the end. I came to a deep inner realization of myself. A middle ground of my conflicts. It is one of the most exhilarating feelings ever. Like walking into a major anime convention. I'm quivering, heart pulsating, the inability to speak well. A movie has never affected me like this, and I don't believe any other movie will. Fight Club is a representation of my inner conflicts. It might even be a omen for me. I might be the next person who befriends Tyler Durden. I can't help but be in a state of Nirvana right now.

Being the MAN!

Well being the man.... Well, frankly I don't really know all toooo well. Since I've been like %60 percent new age sensitive man most of the time. Yea, go ahead and call me a queer <.< To help get the point better. I'll do what I do best. Make guidelines! ^^

1. Control your emotions!

Men don't burst into tears. Real men cry, but you better have a good reason to, lol. And men don't throw emotional tantrums. However don't turn into an emotionless statue, just keep a clear head, and don't let your emotions rule you. *cough* Women! *cough*

2. Be independent!

While doing things together is fun, doing it too much can be torture! A girl doesn't want a man to be by her side all the time. (You creeper!) Have a life separate from hers. Like video game nights and adventures with the guys. If you dedicate yourself too much, the guys will think your whipped, and your lady will think and use you as a tool. Counter balance those creepy ball-jointed dolls with some badass Kamina action figures!

3. Be Strong and Courageous!

If a bear is about to attack a woman or child. You'd better go in between the two. Okay, maybe that's too extreme of an example, but if you and your family were out in the parking lot. And it was pouring outside with the lightning and Pedobear lurking near the car, and someone had to get the car. The man has to get it, women and children can stay under the shelter, the man can't. This isn't something you should say out loud to women, but keep inside the back of your head. A man usually takes on the protector in the family. A woman being the heart of it. Sure men can kiss boo-boos and read bed time stories too. But we aren't really designed for that. Were the ones who have to go in the dark closet to kick the Boogeyman's ass. Women like to see a man prepared for that role.

4. Treat all Women with Respect and Care!
Kindness, gentle manliness, and hood humor aren't just for the girls you want to date. They can see through that a mile away. They judge you on how you treat the women around them. Treat women as the fairer sex, not the weaker one. Word gets around that your a good man. After that, it should be easier to find a lady. Even if you not looking for a girl, it's still nice to be well liked and appreciated, no?

Well those are what I think being a man is about. I'm sure there is a lot more to it than that, but I'm still seventeen, lol. I'm still learning. I know for a fact though, being a man isn't all shits and giggles. They have duties that they must follow through on, and our rights get compromised over and over again it's ridiculous! But you don't see us complaining, and grouping up. *cough* Feminists! *cough* A man does what needs to be done, and worries about shit later.

Farewell President Bush ^^

Today I want to address an issue that has bothered me for quite some time now. Noooo, I'm not going to rip on Bush. Don't you think everyone does that enough? I mean even John McCain and the rest of the Republican party rip on him. Anyway, everyone here can agree that they have at least ragged on Bush at least once during his 8 years, no? Well the problem with that is when everyone rags on him, it eventually turns into contempt. A lot of people nowadays blame Bush for a lot of their problems. However, a lot of the times, it's their own faults. Hurricane Katrina? Bush warned the governor of Louisiana before that storm ravaged New Orleans. Not his fault, if anything it was the governor's fault for not evacuating anyone. So don't listen to Kanye West and agree Bush doesn't care about black people because it simply isn't true. He ruined the economy you say? It was our own fault for taking on housing debts we couldn't handle, and making everything else crash. However, don't get me wrong, I know a lot of other things were his fault. You could probably find a list of grievances online if you tried. Basically what I'm trying to say, is think about your problem before you go blaming it on someone else. It could very well be your own fault. We just have to suck it up and move on. If you want my opinion of him; I think he is a decent man. He has tried his best for the country he loves. He just makes TERRIBLE decisions, but at least he sticks to em no matter what. That's respectable right? ^^ All in all, I think he just let his ambitions get the best of him, doesn't that happen to everyone? Plus Mr. Cheney pulling his strings all the time didn't help him much either. In fact, Mr. Cheney deserves a lot of the shit in Bush's gigantic shitstorm. Well, that's probably the last political post I'll do in a while. I honestly hate politics, but you always have to keep your watchful eye on it. Or else it's gonna bite you in the ass later on in life. ^^
