Let me ask you something...

If you would ask someone what would best describe you. How would they desribe you? Would they say you are the nicest person in the world, or the biggest jerk they ever know. Are you someone they can rely on in a time of need, or don't even bother contacting you because they know you won't answer. Will they say your two-faced, have some issues or too hard to deal with? Are you fun, boring, wierd or just plain?

How would they describe you?

Take a minute to think about it... now let me ask you another question.

Do they way people think about you affect your actions in life? Do you act a certain way in order to have the people around you perceive you in a certain way? Or are your actions purely made by you and you alone.

Take a minute to think about it... now one last question.

Do you care what other people think? Because you really shouldn't. I know some people are self concious, but really, you shouldn't care if people perceive you as wierd, dumb, stupid, good, bad whatever they think of you. The only thing that matters is that the actions you made were purely made by you and not by the influences of others. The minute you stop concerning yourself what people say behind your back, the less stress you have to deal with in life.

Take a minute to think about it.

Macross Frontier- Diamond Crevasse

If your a big Macross Frontier, then you guys know that episode 20 is crazy. Being a big fan of music with animation. The minute they played this song with the ending, I was close to tears. If your not sure what I'm talking about, check out the serious for yourself. It is pretty good. I might just have to put a review of it on here. But for the time being, this song is now going to be put on repeat on my playlist for awhile.



Thank you animelyrics.com for the lyrics

Romanji Lyrics

kami-sama ni koi wo shiteta koro wa
konna wakare ga kuru towa omottenakatta yo
mou nido to furerarenai nara
semete saigo ni mou ichido dakishimete hoshikatta yo

It's long long good-bye...

sayonara sayonara nando datte
jibun ni mujou ni iikikasete
te wo furu nowa yasashisa dayo ne?
ima tsuyosa ga hoshii

anata ni deai STAR kagayaite atashi ga umarete
aisureba koso i areba koso
kibou no nai kiseki wo matte dou naru no?
namida ni nijimu hoshi no matataki wa gone...

wasurenai yo anata no nukumori mo
sono yasashisa mo subete tsutsunde kureta ryoute mo
It's long long good-bye...

sayonara sayonara itoshii hito
anata ga ita kara aruite koreta
hitori nanka jyanakatta yo ne?
ima kotae ga hoshii

moeru you na ryuusei tsukamaete hi wo tomoshite
aishiteitai aisaretetai
hieta karada hitotsu de sekai wa dou naru no?
haritsudzuketeta kyosei ga toketeku long for...

doushite nano? namida afurete tomerarenai

anata ni deai STAR kagayaite atashi ga umarete
aisureba koso i areba koso
kibou no nai kiseki wo matte dou naru no?
namida ni nijimu hoshi no matataki wa gone...

moshi umarekawatte mata meguriaeru nara
sono toki mo kitto atashi wo mitsukedashite
mou nido to hanasanaide tsukamaetete
hitori jyanai to sasayaite hoshii planet...

English Translation

When I was still in love with god,
I never expected such a farewell would come.
If I had known I could never feel your touch again,
I would've hoped to be embraced just one last time.

It's long long good-bye...

Goodbye, goodbye, so many times,
I repeated the word to myself,
Waving my hands. It's only graceful, right?
Now, I long to be stronger.

I met you, the stars sparkled, and I was born.
I love you, therefore I am.
What good is waiting for a hopeless miracle?
Through my tear-filled vision, the planet's twinkle is gone...

I can't ever forget your warmth,
Your kindness, and your all-encompassing hands.
It's long long good-bye

Goodbye, goodbye, my beloved.
I came this far because you were here.
I wasn't alone, was I?
Now, I long for answers.

Catch a falling star that looks ablazed and light a fire,
I still want to love, and I still want to be loved.
What good is a lone freezing body to this world?
I long for you to finally drop your act...

What's wrong? Why can't I stop my tears from overflowing?

I met you, the stars sparkled, and I was born.
I love you, therefore I am.
What good is waiting for a hopeless miracle?
Through my tear-filled vision, the planet's twinkle is gone...

If we are reincarnated and can meet again some day,
Please find me and hold me tight,
And make sure you don't let go again.
I wish the planet would whisper to me that I'm not alone...

Kanye West Anime Music Video- Good Morning

Got this tidbit from the Animenewsnetwork. Japan's Oriental Light and Magic company created a music video for Kanye West's song "Good Morning." With this video being made in Japan, it is officially a anime music video. Mass props to the people to the people who made the music video because it is the #1 music video on itunes. I liked the song Good Morning to begin with, and this video just makes the song better. This is defintely going to be my theme song when I felt like I made it in this world. Peep it out. What do you think of the video?

New Goals in Life

So I got some goals that I would like to obtain by the end of the year:

-Burn at least 2% of my body fat and obtain a flat belly.
-Have this blog up and running again and update more than just once a week.
-Create a new blog solely on reviews
-Be able to conversate in Japanese without struggling

A good way I figured to obtain these goals is to try to be one up than a person higher up than you. My motivation right now is to be one better than the best. Like Busta Rhymes showed in his video with Linkin Park:

"Destroy your enemies with success"

Know more friends than the next guy, be on that magazine cover before the next guy, be more wealthier, more skilled, more better than the best so you can become the best. Settling equals to defeat so never settle. If you get success, all the haters can do is hate. Now I'm not saying that you should be big headed when you become the best. But to be the best, you really do got to beat the best. I know I sound like a cheesy cliche right now, but its true. I'm tired of seeing these "what I did this past weekend" bloggers, blogging about partying at the biggest events and having access to places people can only dream of and basically saying you'll never get there and shoving it in your face.

To everybody out there striving to be better, my props go out to you. Keep your head up and fists held high. Scream out on the top of your lungs that your going to make it. Because if you keep thinking your going to make and actually plan it out, you will make it.

Happy one year anniversary GSC blog!

Thoughts and interests for the week

Part 1: Bboy crews

Ok for those who are fans of Super Cr3w. There are bboy crews out there that are way better than the finalist of America's Best Dance Crew.

For example the Extreme Crew from Korea



These guys are my idols.

There is also the Gambler crew hailing from Korea and their going to be in a movie with Omarian in the future



the Mortal Kombat crew from Japan, one of them members of Mortal Kombat beat Do-Knock in singles competition at the red bull bc one 2006 competition



Out of super cr3w, the only guy I give props to is Ronnie. Ronnie was Red Bull BC one champion last year. And he was part of that "battle" between the Jabbawockeez and Supreme Soul (Soul Sector).

Ideally, once I get all my ducks in order, one of my goals in life is to do the elbow spin. Just like these guys.



Part 2: It's wedding season

Back in the day, the formal event my friends and I would look forward to is debuts. Now as we get older, its now Weddings. And for some reason, September seems to be the month that everybody wants the ceremony to happen. This past week I received 3 wedding invitations all in the same month. The game is on, I gotta get my Sunday best on and find me some wedding dates. Because the downside about San Diego weddings is that you basically know everybody at the ceremony. So there really isn't going to be a moment where you happen to meet someone new like in Hitch or Wedding Crashers

Part 3: What did I do this weekend blogs

It seems that blogging appears to be a mainstream trend. Everybody and their dayam momma has a blog nowadays. And the blogs I've been seeing lately is not about opinions or points of views. It's all about "What I did this past weekend" blogs, and thats it. I mean lets be honest, not everybody in the world is going to be interested in you partying it up in a club, getting drunk and hanging out with a bunch of folks on a Saturday night, every Saturday night. Smack me if this blog ever becomes something like that.

Just remember before this blog there was the myspace blog, and before the myspace blog there was the Xanga blog which I hate to admit but it was a "what I did this past weekend" type of blog. So before anybody says I've jumped on the bandwagon, I've been doing this before the blogspot days.

News about anime posts will come up soon. Peace out.

Disappointed with myself

So its been awhile since I posted something. And to the five readers out there, I truly apologize. A lot has been going on, and a lot of stuff has been running through my mind. And for some reason it feels like its just not working for me right now. I made a post sometime last year about feeling like your just existing. Your not making a difference, you not affecting anybody, your just there. In your mind you want it to change, but it just doesn't. You just think about the situation your in and how it will never change. And you start to take everything as a personal hit.

Example, this past weekend I had a great time with my friends. But there was one thing that bothered me. If you want to know what was wrong, I'll be glad to tell you if you ask. But I won't type it here. I'll say this though, I had a golden opportunity to make a good night into the best night ever. And I really think I wasted that opportunity. I'm really disappointed in myself

Trying to stay positive in a negative world is a hard thing to do. I hear a lot of people tell me to keep my head up. But its hard to keep your head up when you feel like you have somebodys foot on the back of your head keeping it down.

I need to find my motivation again.

Til then, I've had this song on repeat for awhile...





P.S. For now, I'm going back to post some regular posts, the rest of my Japan trip will be covered sooner or later.
