I'm So Dawk. I'm So Emo

It's been such a long time since I've posted anything. I was just so occupied by the stories I'm writing and playing video games.. or video game. Yes, I made yet another character in Oblivion. But that's not what I'm going to talk about today... I could talk about Oblivion some other day.

"I'm an emo kid; nonconforming as can be. You'd be nonconforming too if you look just like me. I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face. I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs." -Adam and Andrew: The Emo Kid Song

Emo. Oh my god, emo. This is one topic that just keeps on bringing its self up all the time. For some reason, I feel like my job in this world is to extinguish the emo stereotype in the world. People would probably start saying now, "Geez, man, just leave them emo kids alone. They're not doing anything wrong to you. They're just emo kids being emo kids because that's what they are: emo kids."
Now, I say to you, shut up. The supposedly "emo kids" aren't the main problem, it's the people who take the idea of emo people as a reality.
A lot of you would be very lost and won't even see where I'm going with this. That is because you are too delusional and blinded by the media and idiots. Also because you are one of those idiots.

Here is my point: There is no such thing as an emo person.
There it is. Very straightforward and quick to the point... (actually, not that quick)
Idiot: You're stupid. Of course there is such a thing as an emo person.
Me: Yes, there are people in the world who just love cutting themselves and crying themselves to sleep, and have no friends, and love to engage in homosexual intercourse at the age of 13. (yes, sarcasm)

First of all, let's start with what the emo stereotype really is, then I'll ridicule them one-by-one.
1. Emo kids are depressed all the time.
2. Emo kids cuts themselves because of their pain
3. Emo kids are really different form the whole world
4. Emo kids are very dark and mysterious
5. Emo kids wear skinny jeans and small shirts
6. Emo kids always cry
7. Emo kids are all about heartbreak and emotional situations
8. Emo kids wear make-up and paint their nails black
9. Emo kids listen to My Chemical Romance
10. Emo kids have no feelings
11. Emo kids are deep and poetic
12. Emo kids have no friends

Now, time for the ridiculing:
1. Can you possibly imagine someone being depressed all the time? Hm, yes, maybe someone with manic depression, but they're not called emo. They're called bipolar. But even they can smile once in a while. And if you have no psychological disorders and yet you are always depressed, you either must have a shitty life, or you are doing it on purpose. But I mean, come on, even Quasimodo was a partly happy guy.
2. Yes, self-inflicted pain. This is very common within adolescent children. Why? Because emo is such a fad. Kids would feel down, cut themselves and doesn't even put any effort in hiding it. For some reason, they think the pain would make things better. Pain + pain = happiness. What the Frank?! This isn't multiplying or dividing integers! But self-inflicted pain is a common case, but it isn't for depression, it is to fix numbness. Remember this: cutting yourself won't make yourself cool.
3. Different? You see, here's the thing: everyone is different. Just imagine a world where everyone was the same. That would be really shitty. How would you ever love someone for their personality if that personality was in everyone else? Everyone is different, but everyone keeps trying to be what everyone wants to be. And if "emo kids" were so different, how come they and their friends all like clones? Why would there be an emo stereotype if they were so different? Loophole there.
4. I'm so dark. I'm so emo. How could someone be mysterious? They wouldn't be mysterious if you were close. This "mysterious" description is just a simple-minded alternative to anti-social. Think about it: if you find a person mysterious, do you think that that person's friends find him mysterious too? Of course not. You just don't know that person enough. And as for dark, that's more of a gothic description, really. They could be doing it on purpose or they must just have a poetic mind.
5. Emo fashion. This is acceptable. Emo is a trend, a genre of music, but most certainly not a kind of person. Get this straight. (Not so much of ridiculing there.)
6. It's good to cry. It's good to let feelings out. That's kind of a hypocritical thing for someone like me to say, but this isn't about me. If you cry a lot that doesn't make you emo, (mostly because there is no such thing as an emo person) it makes you open, or sensitive, or comfortable of how you feel... Or a used tampon. (I'm just kidding.)
7. Heartbreak. Usually heartbreak comes from stupidity; from the kind of "love" I mentioned in one of my past posts. If all you talk and think about are heartbreak and your sad emotions, that doesn't make you emo. That makes you either a flaming homosexual, a love-obsessed kid, or an unlucky bastard.
8. Again, emo fashion. It's alright, but this doesn't apply all the time. Let's say someone wears make-up and black nail polish, please do not call them emo. Because that person just may know me, contact me and you would get an hour-long sermon about this same topic.
9. Like I said a little while back, emo is also a genre of music. But trust me, My Chemical Romance is not emo. They are punk. Get your facts straight. If you want to listen to emo music, listen to Death Cab for Cutie, or things like that.
10. Bullshit. Everyone has feelings. (I was too lazy to write more stuff in here.)
11. If you're deep and poetic, that most certainly does not make you emo. That just makes you.. well... deep and poetic.
12. Everyone has friends. A friend doesn't necessarily mean a peer who is not related to you. Your mom could be your friend. Yo mama.

So, I hope this sets you straight. Emo is a kind of fashion and a genre of music. If someone claims they're emo, slap them across the face again and again until the make fades. If someone calls you emo, give them the ultimate punch (Hot Rod reference)

Oh, and just to clear things up with My Chemical Romance. I love MCR and I don't want anyone mistaking me or them as emo.
"I think emo is fucking garbage, it's bullshit. I think there's bands that unfortunately we get lumped in with that are considered emo and by default that starts to make us emo. All I can say is anyone actually listening to the records, put the records next to each other and listen to them and there's actually no similarities. I think emo's a pile of shit." -Gerard Way, MCR vocalist

~~ ~~

That felt good.
Starting now, I would want the idea of an emo person disappear,
if not completely, then at least a little.
And if you want to see something awesome,
go to youtube, and search in "I'm so emo"
and watch the video by Onision.
I'm not promoting him, I'm just saying that this is what
made me want to talk about this topic today.
And by the way, his video is a mock. It's an insult to the people who think they're emo

Love Schmuv

12/8/10

For the past few days, some very amusing things have been happening. But they're the kind of things that people have different opinions on depending on who they are or how the think.
I personally find it amusing, and some people would label me mean and insensitive for doing so. Some people, on the other hand, would laugh together with me.

As the title suggests, this blog post is about love. And if you're a clever thinker, then you could say from the title that it's me ridiculing love, or something like that. It isn't rocket science.

Just before I start, I would like to say that I won't be ridiculing love. Some of you might misunderstand and jump the gun. I'll be ridiculing how people nowadays treat and see love.

~ ~

Love.
Usually the word that comes hand-in-hand with hate.
But why? People say hate is such a strong word, but so is love, and people just say it as if it's nothing.
Love is something that is really hard to find. It's not something that you'll find in every girl or boy that you happen to like. You see, there is such a thing as infatuation, and it's very far from love. Infatuation is the "special" fondness you feel for another person. It's a very common and familiar feeling for everybody, but it's very often that it be mistaken for love.

Love is not something to be rushed. Love is something you should always be sure of. If you like somebody, you don't automatically love that person.
A lot of people, especially among the younger generation, always want to associate themselves with love. They would always want to be connected to the people they fancy. Even if it's just simply affection or infatuation, they would jump to the conclusion that it's love. They would start doing silly and over-the-top things to "express their love". They would start saying things that are supposedly "sweet and romantic". They would start being so lovey-dovey and mushy.

Then one of the two gets sick of the shit or realizes that it was nothing but a misunderstanding.
>>"It was never love. It was just a huge crush. I overacted and I went too fast. Now, how do I get out of this mess?"
>>"Wow, boy was I wrong. I need to get myself out of this, but I don't want to come off as a jerk. Maybe, I could get him/her to break up with me. Time for plan asshole to come into play."
or, if they're both just too delusional:
>>"I don't love him/her anymore. The sparks just went away."

So, then the unluckier (or the dumber) of the two gets broken up with. That unfortunate person would feel really down in the dumps and feel like it's the end of the world. They would start hurting themselves (yeah, that's sure going to help. [yes, sarcasm]), crying, or take it out with a BF (bitch fit. yes, white chicks reference) or a rage.
>>"Oh, my golly gee whiz. What am I to do? The love of my life broke up with me! I want to die! Life isn't worth living anymore. Oh, what's the point?! Oh vey!"
>>"Aw, hell no! Oh, no she/he didn't! That bitch gonna pay."
or the occasional ball-pass:
>>"Oh, my god! I can't believe that bitch/asshole stole my man/girl! That douche is gonna pay!" (This is what I think is the most ridiculous. Would it really be the fault of the person who stole your partner, or your parter who wasn't loyal enough to stay with you? Think about it.)
and if you used plan asshole:
>>"Mission accomplished"
or, if you're like me:
>>"Aw, bogus"

P.S.: About that 'aw bogus' crap, yes, that has happened to me.
But it was a different because it was love and it was my fault it ended.
But this blog is not about me.
That's a whole different topic.

Back to the main topic:

The best medicine for 'heartbreak' is time. If you were on the receiving end of the break-up, then time will let you realize that it wasn't love and that it was all a mistake. You'll also start regretting the silly things you did for your love, but time will make you forget that as well.
And if you were the one who ended it all, time will make you stop feeling bad. Time will erase the awkwardness between you two.

Let's talk about where this even comes from:
For the youth, it comes from media. Seeing or hearing about romance in TV shows, movies or songs would make them want to feel those feelings as well. That's the pathetic thing. Sometimes, it comes from the need to look good. Some kids tend to think that relationships would make them look good. Then in the process, they become so delusional that even their minds aren't set straight and they would be able to fool themselves that it is love. There are more reasons, but it's 10:32pm and I have school tomorrow.

Now, we're at the closing remarks I always have:
This post could be hypocritical.
I used to be like that, but I learned my lesson.
The thing is, be calm and don't rush.
Take things slow and let time shed light on the situation little by little.

If you're affected by this, I don't care.
If you think I'm an insensitive jerk for writing this, I don't care.
If you think I'm so right on with this, I don't care.

These are things I learned from experience. And trust me, when I did learn it, all I could do was drown my thoughts in video games.

That's it for tonight.
To sum up the lesson:
Love is a strong thing. Not everything you feel is love.
Don't be an idiot and quickly jump to conclusions.
And when you do find love, take care of it.
Don't try too hard to come out as sweet and caring and loving
You'll find love when you just be yourself, because love would be when your partner loves who you are, not what you come off as.

The Social Flu

12/4/10

The Social Flu.
What is the social flu? Simple. The social flu is a highly-contagious disease that spreads through social interaction. Once it reaches you, it eats you up inside until you're completely pathetic and moronic. Then when you can't stoop any lower, you'll pass it to someone else and the cycle starts over again.
Symptoms: Idiocy, gullibility, stupidity, shallowness and a shitty life.
Causes: Envy, hate, shallowness, lack of a life, lack of intellect, or hunger for attention.
Common name: Gossip

Fooled you, didn't I?

~~ ~~

People. Social interaction. Crowds. Rumors. Gossips.

These are things I hate.
I hate people. Why? Because you can't control them. You can never know what they're thinking about. You can never control what they do and what they don't do. You have no idea what goes on through their minds. That's the kind of thing that pisses me off. People are always going to do things that you don't like. They're uncontrollable. Not everyone can have wisdom, discipline and consideration. They're always going to upset you.
Why do I hate social interaction? I just hate it. I don't really like conversations going on too long. But there are exceptions, of course. I love talking to the wife and my friends.
Crowds. I'm claustrophobic.
Why do I hate rumors and gossip? Simple. This is why:

~~

Gossiping and spreading rumors. These are things I really hate. I really wished other people could be wise, considerate and disciplined enough to think before they say things.
Why do people spread rumors? Why do people spread gossip?
There are a lot of reasons. Let's try to enumerate some I know of.:
1. A person is jealous of a certain person, so they start bad, insulting and image-wrecking rumors about that person.
2. "Love". Let's say a girl likes a guy, but that guy happens to already have a girlfriend. The girl would get her and her bitch friends to spread lies about that couple. Their motivation would be something like, "But I love him! She doesn't deserve him! I do!" It's very pathetic and shallow. This is kind of just like the first reason. And the reason I chose the girl to be the bitch for the example is because it's more often that girls start rumors, and not the boys.
3. Hate. I have a saying: "Hide it with hate". It means that people would feel something they think is pathetic or despicable and just hide it with hate. Let's say guyA idolizes and desperately wants to be guyB, but doesn't want to show it. GuyB would say that he hates guyA and would start bad gossips about guyA. Also similar to the first reason.
4. People have no lives.
5. People want to get noticed. They just want to at least be able to say something. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, they just want to speak. This is why I hate it when people open their mouths and nothing but stupidity comes out. (Wag magsalita kung tanga)
There are a lot more reasons, but let's just stop there. I feel that I just keep rephrasing the first reason. It could be pretty obvious why. If you don't know why I keep emphasizing the fact that envy is a reason why people spread gossip, then you must be as idiotic as those who spread it.

~~

This is exactly why I don't like attention. There would always be people who would try to know what you're up to. That's what people are like. They keep minding other people's businesses. They're just never contended enough with their own lives, that they'd have to butt in others' lives. That's why I never want to be known. I never want to be liked. I just want to be there, just living my own life without being bothered. I just want to be left alone. But apparently, that's too much to ask. People just don't leave each other alone.
That's the problem with "friendship". If people are "friends", then they would keep trying to butt into each other's business and say that it's fine because they're friends anyways. Then if their "friend" has some beef with somebody, they would "have their back" and help them make bitches of themselves. Bitches = gossip.
And these people who gossip? Why do they find joy in this? What kind of lowlife idiots find joy in spreading lies, or at least things they can not be certain of. How can they be so contented by mere possibilities and lack of facts? Is this what atheists always criticize theists of?
What kind of abominations did God create?

~~

If you want to know what exactly happened to me, I'll tell you the whole story in a short poem:
The cloth in which behind we hide
In my grasp, I'll never let go
Such a casual request that got its answer
From a slutty white hoe

Through the teeth of a land whale
Green mist as she speaks
A mistake, inside and out
Nothing but jealous lies comes out of her mouth

The ritual for our end of the deal
To fill up every space we see
To make more breaths in the air
As we gasp for more under the sheet

What is a white lie?
From those who can't properly see
Try and dump a perfectly nice scene
They hate what they want to be

Every whisper in the air
Close your ears. It's all a lie
So far from the truth
But you won't see the honesty in my eye

~~

That would probably sum it up for today. I'm just glad I was able to get that off my chest.

Let me try something else for a change:
If you're reading this and you're guilty of the things in here,
then STOP doing it. Or at least stop doing it to me.
And if you're one of the people included in this whole situation I'm in right now,
Then fuck you. Leave us alone.
Get a life.
And if you're affected, insulted, or hurt by this,
Good. You deserve it, you lowlifes.

J out.

Ossum Blog, Pre! :bdbdbdbd :)))) =)))))

12/1/10

It's been such a long time since I've posted anything. Lately, nothing has come up that ever pissed me off or affected me enough for me to write about it. I don't really like letting anything affect me too much.

But there is something that I want to write about now. It's a topic that would take a huge jerk of a person to talk about. It's a topic that would most probably affect so much and would make them hate me. But so what? Do I care? I don't think so.

But to be honest, I really lack both inspiration and motivation to write right now. I just want to write because I haven't posted anything in a long time and I want to get this small thing off my chest.

Let the obnoxious, arrogant, insensitive and merciless ranting begin:

Guys. There is a thick line between masculinity and femininity, but these days, guys just keep crossing that huge line with such simple acts. The perfect (or probably only) example is how they use the internet. And no, I'm not talking about guys watching gay porn. I'm talking about how a great deal of guys right now seem to be so annoyingly queer in the way they communicate online. Even in texts probably. And some guys even go as far as being the same way in person.

Sigh. I wonder what their fathers think. But their fathers probably don't notice it because, well, they're old. How girls acted then totally differs from how girls act now.

I just want to give a few examples of these unnecessary acts of un-masculinity:

1. "OMG. I'm so lazyyy!"
** I'm fine with the, "OMG". I'm cool with that, but not with the last word. Why, tell me, why does there need to be three y's? That's two more than necessary. Is there a certain reason there are extra y's? Is it supposed to make the word sound longer? If that was supposed to be prolonged, that would make it sound whiny and extremely queer. Was it an accident due to that person holding that certain key for a longer time than needed? If so, then why do people keep doing this is almost every post? Or is that supposed to make it look cooler because it's different from the original word, or because it's slang? I don't see the awesomeness in improper English.

2. "Pare, you're so hawt. :"> :"> :*"
**Oh, my god. Really? Now, I'm not saying that guys can't kiss each other, tell each other they love them, or compliment each other. I respect the people who have the guts to do that. But there are four problems I have with this:
1**. Hawt. There is absolutely no 'hawt' in the English language. Is the misspelling supposed to make the statement cute? Trust me, it's not working.
2**. The fact that the person gives an overly gay compliment while addressing that person as, "pare". If you want to be gay, do it completely. Don't address him as, "pare". That's like adding a supposedly manly word to an absolutely queer statement. It's like adding making cold water to water that you've heated for no reason at all.
3**. The very unnecessary amount of emoticons. This is something that really ticks me off. First of all, why add two blushing emoticons? One for each cheek? That's really retarded and senseless. Is it also in an attempt to look or seem cute? Like I said, it's not working.
4**. The ridiculous choice of emoticons. Will you really kiss and blush for your friend in person? And if you tell me that it's just Facebook or a web messenger anyways, I could punch you in the face for such lame excuses. If you use emoticons such as these, there are only a few explanations. You're gay, you're seeking attention, you're a people-pleaser, or you just really want to piss me off.

3. "Yeah, dude, that was soooo awesome!! :bdbdbdbd :)))))) =)))))"
**Really? Why? Oh, the repetition. First of all, why so many bd's? How many thumbs do you have? 10? And the usage of both the LOL emoticon and the ROFL emoticon. Why use both? Is it for emphasis? If it is, doesn't the very unnecessary number or )'s already take care of that? Is it really that funny? Did your finger get stuck on the ) button? Or is your keyboard busted? Or are you not satisfied by the original amount of symbols following the colon?


And you know, I would find it way better if the guy who were to do these things was actually. It would be understandable. If you're not gay, then why act it?

That would probably sum up today's post. To be honest, I have no idea why this pisses me off so much. I'm not really in any position to care or anything. Maybe it's just because that nothing really gets my attention these days, so this thing will do for now.

But just like what I've said before, don't care. If someone thinks you're gay or an attention-seeker, then tell them to mind their own business. Am I hypocritical? Maybe. Do I care? No. Just do what you want and live your life the way you think you should. No matter how much I may insult you, just remember that you're not the only one in the world who is like that. Nobody is ever one of a kind in the whole world. If you're hurt or insulted, just remember that so is somebody else. That is how people think, anyways. (But that's something I'll talk about some other time.)
