Math Woes, Frustration Shows

On most days, I don’t hate Pre-Calculus. However, today I must make an exception. Lately, I’ve been losing my grasp of understanding on the material we’re covering. The same is happening in Physics, and I can’t say I know exactly what’s going on here. I guess my only option is to study and work harder, but studying math is much harder than say, studying history.

I honestly had nothing to say today, but I felt like making a post here. I guess I’m just procrastinating. Eventually, I plan on finishing my work, but for now I guess I’ll just continue listening to the mix CD my friend made for me and half-paying attention to an old episode of Family Guy.

Hmm, on a strange side note, I’d like to catch up on all the manga series I was reading, but I simply don’t have the time. Very annoying, if I do say so myself.

 

One Piece <3

I was sidetracked from reading my manga for a few hours by the usual draw of television and MS Word. But at around midnight, I got back into the swing of things. In fact, I’ve knocked out two volumes of One Piece so far.

It’s really getting interesting, what with secret identities surfacing and the all-powerful cliffhanger.

I only had volumes 7 and 8 checked out, and I’m still in a MangaMood, so I’ll probably end up reading the next few chapters online, at least until I get back to school and can pick up the next volumes from the library. I definitely prefer reading them on paper, but reading them from my laptop is just as good. I only resort to using my phone if I have to be mobile, since I (tragically) lack a tablet.

I like One Piece because it’s silly and childish, much less serious and complicated than Death Note. Then again, it was (along with most of the Manga  I read) written for 10 – 15 year old boys. It’s not my fault the young guy stuff is sooo much more interesting than the drivel written for my gender.

It’s about this guy who wants to be the pirate king, Monkey D. Luffy, who ate the fruit of the Gum Gum Tree, and developed the powers to stretch his body like rubber. I’m not making this up. It’s a pretty interesting read, though I’m still in the beginnings of the series (I have like 200+ chapters left until I catch up).

As with all manga, I have developed a sort of….erm….crush on one of the characters. Don’t think of me as a crazy freak, I’m not having wet dreams about these guys or anything, and I know they’re not real. It’s just – my teen girl writer mind loves to think up little stories on the spot, and when I read books or watch movies, my brain creates fanfiction on many of the characters, just because it comes naturally to me.

At this point, I’m really just hoping none of them go insane (*cough*Light Yagami*cough*)

Hmm… that’s all I really have to say about that. I think I’m going to write a manga rant, but I want to be able to file it solely under my “Rants” category so I’ll finally have something there.

Hasta La Vista Bebes ❤

Love You <3

Love you.

Love this town.

Love this mother lovin’ truck that keeps on breaking lovin’ down.

-Jack Ingram

That songs been stuck in my head all day. It’s the best, really. If you haven’t heard it, go buy it on iTunes or, if you’re lacking the morals department, illegally download it or something.

Really, I just wanted to blog a little bit more about Death Note, since I just finished it. But I wanted to continue titled based on the subject matter, and two “Death Note <3” ‘s in a row in a blog only 3 entries long seemed kind of stupid.

But yeah, I finished the series. In the end, Light was captured just like I knew he would be, but he ended up going like crazy. He kind of just ranted on the floor, dying and whatnot. So he lost some of his appeal there. Near replaced L, and according to the one shot that tells the epilogue or whatever, he isn’t at all interested in solving a new Death Note case, as he was only interested in the case because the real L had been.

Oh, and his name was Nate River.
Fabuloso.

…So now I’m going to read One Piece. I should read my history book or do some math homework, but I honestly don’t see that happening. 😛

Death Note <3

In case you’re not aware, Death Note is a Japanese manga that came out around 2009.

In case you’re not aware, manga (Mon-guh) is essentially a comic book. It’s printed in black and white, and read from right to left. It’s one of my many nerdy obsessions, followed by miscellaneous fanfiction, books about werewolves, and the infamously dramatic TeenNick show, Degrassi.

As far as manga goes, Death Note is a good one. I read it translated into English of course, since I am completely clueless when it comes to those weird little Japanese symbol things. I am currently reading several manga, such as the “Big Three” Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, as well as other popular titles such as Fairy Tale. Any others besides these few mentioned are only read up to a few chapters and aren’t really worth mentioning. 

But I digress…(I’m a leading man, and the lies I weave are oh so intricate <3)

Death Note is extremely interesting, very detailed, and it makes you think. In all honestly, I think it would make a pretty good movie or novel. While most manga rely heavily on their cartoons to fill space and keep the reader’s attention, Death Note only uses it’s images to help support the text, not to offer a crutch. 

It would be useless for me to try and explain the entire plot, and I simply don’t care to try. Make a jump over to Wikipedia or something if you wish, or don’t. 

All I really wanted to say was that I agree with Kira. Honestly, those that he kills using his Death Note deserve to die. He doesn’t kill those who have atoned for their crimes, or who committed a crime by accident; rather, he kills those who are killers or rapists or murderers. I don’t understand why people want to end his reign. It’s as if they don’t want the world to be at least semi-peaceful, and prefer chaos and crime. It’s just…stupid

*SPOILER ALERT*

I already know Light is Kira, and that Near is going to kill him, but I can’t help but hope that he somehow escapes his fate. However, the story’s already done and there’s nothing that I can do to change what I’m about to read. So curse you, Tsugumi Ohba, for making the righteous character into the antagonist and killing him off in the end. You suck. D:<

Gabriel Iglesias <3

So it turns out he’s one of my favorite comedians.

Even though he’s fat fluffy. My bad guys.

But yeah, he makes me damn near piss myself. I used to think he was annoying, but now it appears that his brand of humor fits my comic needs exactly.

It looks like he’s joined the ranks of Nick Swardson, Bo Burnham, Demetri Martin, and Anthony Jezelnik. High fives and tequila shots all around.

…Just kidding, I don’t drink. Not by my own choice, but just because my dad is crazy protective and would catch me drunk in a heartbeat. Unlucky me.

But I digress.

Basically, Gabriel Iglesias is funny as fuck and I love him and Comedy Central in general. It (thankfully) kept me from killing myself over this Thanksgiving, simply because family gatherings destroy me from the inside out.

So this Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the wonderful comedians of Comedy Central.

P.S: Also my family, friends, and boyfriend are pretty cool I guess so thanks for them to…But still, I’m mainly sending props to good ole channel 249. 😀
