Fucking stupid blog!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK! LOL I fucking pressed "refresh" button accidentally after I wrote like 500+ words on this blog. Yes, I fucking tried pressing "back" and "forward" buton, too! Fucking stuipd me. Anyway, I will try retype my blog.
I didn't plan to write this blog so soon, but something big came up, which I think I should blog it before I lose my thoughts. I also think blog is a good way to keep track of myself.
I am starting my meditation today. For the longest time, I had been trying to stay away from meditation, simply because I am LAZY! I know I know . . . Meditation isn't something like playing backetball or hockey. It's not something that you can do whenever you want. Once you start it, you have to do it daily without any exucses. NO EXCUSES AT ALL! Personally, I don't hate meditation; in fact, if someone is going to start doing it, I will encourage him/her. A lot of my close friends and even my family has been doing it. My mom encouraged me to do it, too; she didn't force me though. I understand meditation is good for body and mind, although I do not know why and I guess you can only find the answer when you start to meditate. Another reason that I didn't want to start meditation was because it is really painful. It is very hard to keep yourself in the same meditation posture for fourty minutes. During the meditation, you are not suppose to move your body at all! A brief explanation of the posture is that you have to sit up straight and cross legged. Your hands should have a position similar to those Buddha statues you see in temple. Also, you chin has to go down. (Keep in mind that meditation has nothing to do with religion nor Buddism.) It may sound simple, but hey, try to sit like that for fourty minutes and tell me about it. Sitting cross legged in meditation is different than the normal way of sitting cross legged. Both of your ankles have to go on top of your thighs. LOL . . . For a beginner like me, I only have to do with one leg on top of my thigh. But it takes less than five minutes when my leg start to feel numb and I have to keep the same posture for fourty minutes. (Meditation takes multiple of fouty minutes.) It's really really painful for us beginners . . .
Here's the story how I accepted to do meditation. My brother has to go over to my friend's house and meditate together every Saturday. Then their master from Taiwan will examine their postures on webcam. (I guess their master is my master, too, since I started meditating.) Because it snowed, my brother couldn't park the car at his friend's place, so they decided to meditate and use the webcam in my house. When "our" master had some conversation with them, he told me I should start meditation, too. It's not like because he does meditation, so he tries to influence everyone around him to start meditation. In fact, he only suggests to people who need to meditate. He told my mom that she doesn't really need to meditate, but my mom chose to keep doing it. He also told me that I should start to meditate now before it's too late. I know he was trying to help me and he was a bit forceful this time, so I accepted it. It wasn't the first time he asked me to do meditation, and I could still refuse if I wanted. He might have been forceful this time, because he saw me in a bad state. Although I do not fully understand what he meant by "before it's too late," I somehow got some of the meanings. At least this is what I think, if I don't do anything right now, I will remain in the current state of myself for the rest of my life or maybe for another 20 years of my life time, which isn't good. <3 Our master saw it as a potential problem and asked me? Who knows!? But, I do know that I am bad tempered, selfish, lazy, ecchi . . . etc. These will remain part of myself if I don't do anything to change them eh! Maybe I should keep the ecchi part! <3 Master Chen had been meditating for over thirty years? (I guessed on that. Probably more than that though.) He is in his sixties but he looks so damn young. I am serious; if you ever had a chance to see him (which you don't probably haha sucks to be you! just kidding lol), you won't believe he is a sixty year old man. (Ladies! If you want to look young, start meditating now!) He is also very accurate at seeing a person's personalities. For example, he can tell what kind of person you are by just spending a few minutes looking at you or spending some time with you. Don't think he's a crazy person or geek you see in Chinese movies. In fact, he's a very easy going and wise person.
Another reason that I didn't want to start my meditation was because I don't know how fast I would give up if I start. Maybe tomorrow? Maybe 10 years later? Maybe never? Who knows! I am not a very persistent person and I guess that's also another reason why I should meditate. It'll make me more persistent haha! Please don't find it surprising when you see a blog about giving up meditation so soon though! Haha!
Enough of the meditation talk. I will talk more on genshiken now. I finished upto episodes five so far. Seroiusly, why the fuck do they have long ass episode titles? Here are all the titles for the first five episodes.
1. Study of the Modern Visually-Oriented Culture
2. Comparative Classification of the Modern Youth Through Consumption and Entertainment
3.Problems and Merits of Local Culture Promotion
4. The Sublimating Effect of the Dissimilation Brought on Thrugh Makeup and Costume on Mental Obstacles
5. The Boundary Between Acceptance and Rejection Through Autonomous Behavior
The series is deeper than what I think though. It has a lot of symbolism and paradox in our daily life. Also, it's very amusing. Again, check it out if you haven't!
More DoA4 talk! I just read some interview questions with the producer of the game. It's fucking amazing! This will be the best fighting game ever released for the following reasons.
1. Moves. There is no way you can win the games by excuting same cheap moves over and over. They hired the six top Japanese DoA players to test character moves out. These players play from 6pm to 12am daily for a month.
2. Xbox Live. People can play tournaments online or even watch tournaments! If you think are the top player, go online and get your ass kicked! K.O. in 10 seconds. LOL~ Oh yeah one more thing! FUCK PS3! Even if PS3 has the better hardware than Xbox 360, Sony won't have better online service than Microsoft. No one else on this planet can provide more stable servers than Microsoft. Xbox 360 has integrated online service and that's what PS3 gets fucked over!
3. Fast. Yup, that says it. LOL It's a very fast pace fighting game.
4. Stages. Very interactive. Say in this jungle stage, cheetahs run by may attack you?!
5. Characters. Need I to say more?
6. Graphic. The graphic is totally amazing. Team Ninja had been producing amazing graphic games such as NGB on Xbox.
7. Laziness. I am fucking lazy to type the rest up. Go read them yourself! Here are the links.
I will update more later if I feel like it!
