I watched another anime. It didn't suck. Are you trying to get High Horror's d*ck hard?

Who hasn't done one of these yet? I feel as though I've lost track, but there are some writers I think I'd quite like to hear from. I could be wrong but I don't remember seeing any of jdfranchise, King Richius, Kyzer, The Gangsta, sonstuds, Yukio (who apparently can't be tagged because of the censors), Dex and Cam obviously? All could be quite interesting for one reason or another. If they've not already, start making these happen @griffin. I haven't done one. If people want to hear my strong opinions I wouldn't be opposed to it. I will bury more people than Deep Figure Value did.

Back behind the counter, catering b*tch. YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. YOU'RE NOT MY DAD.... Drakz is, if our matches are any indication. You would have been a 4th trimester abortion if you were my kid.

I have never understood the appeal of anime. When I owned my record store, we stocked anime because we could make money off of it but I never felt more sorry for some kids in my life. These kids, 16-20 would come in and talk for hours like maniacs about this movie or that series. None of them looked like they had ever seen the sun, or taken a walk for a reason other than to get more anime or food. People who like anime love it to ridiculous degrees. I went to Comic Con in San Diego (for free, I would never pay to go to something like that) in 2008 or 2009 (I can't remember which) and it really woke me up to all that anime, comic books and cosplay world. The hygiene of most of those mouth breathers was vomit inducing. Seeing overweight men and women stuff themselves into costumes that were too small, with rolls and stretch marks everywhere was enough to make me blind. But the worst part was seeing these disgusting nerds interact. Watching these abominations flirt with each other made for one of the most pathetic scenes I have ever witnessed. There were attractive people there, not everyone was hideous and disfigured. But the attractive ones were just as bat sh*t as the rest of them. My youngest son asked to go to MEGACON in Orlando this year. I bought us tickets for a cruise the same week so I wouldn't have to take him to it. F*ck anime. Hahaha! I go to cons enough, but you're not wrong about the majority demographics they tend to attract, and it's largely to your earlier point of the ones who look like they'd never seen the sun. Sadly, that tends to be the case, with these things being the lone avenue for social interaction some folk'll give themselves year round. It's kinda the same at my local indie - there are some regulars at these things, and by two or three shows deep, you start to realize that this is, quite literally, all they've got. I dump on anime enough 'cause it's another avenue to dump on High Horror, but I'm a pretty big proponent of being passive enough to leave folks to whatever it is makes them happy. Lord knows I've eaten my share of sh*t over wrestling or comic books or whatever the hell else has got my fancy week to week, and I've got my share of things I indulge in maybe more than I should....but there's a degree when it becomes downright unhealthy, and that's where your stereotypes thrive, in absence of basic hygiene, passable social skills, familiarity with basic social norms, and deodorant. It's almost communicable, in a way. I've fostered a general fear of interacting with most folks at these things because of how downhill it can turn so unexpectedly quickly, to the point that if a normal happens to try and engage me in light conversation, I probably come off like a bumbling basement dweller by virtue of basic instinctual reaction. I don't stop my kids from watching anime or reading comics if they want. That will not be the sole thing they do though. I make sure that their souls aren't eaten up by one particular thing. When I was in college I sold drugs to pay my tuition because short story my father didn't approve of the school I chose. My best group of customers was this group of five guys who all moved into one house so they could play World of Warcraft with each in the same room. I would show up to drop off weed and these guys would be so consumed with that game they would barely acknowledge me while buying for me. I am legit terrified that my kids become so obsessed with one thing, they miss out on everything there is do in life. I meant next year, not this. Royal Caribbean International Ah. I hear good things about RCI but I've never been. I've done 3 Carnival cruises and those are always fun. I have only been on a couple of cruises and this is the first time I have used RCI. My sister recommended it so I went with it. Carnival is the one I have always used before and I had no complaints. This will be the first cruise I have even taken with my kids so I won't be gambling as much as I normally do.

I was never a goth kid. I dated a girl who hung in that circle in high school, but I was more at home with the social outcasts that didn't really fit any specific "type." Well, other than band geeks, as you well know my musical history when you stooged on me a while back. Hell, I didn't even get into anime until I started working my first job at my local library at 14. I knew stuff like Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z but I didn't know much else. So I entered that phase laaaaate compared to the rest of my comrades. That being said, certain anime have the ability to transcend the medium itself and become just an animated version of a show you'd likely otherwise watch anyways. Like Evangelion, or Gunslinger Girl for example. Does not compute. I've seen two animes. You only named one. I have never understood the appeal of anime. When I owned my record store, we stocked anime because we could make money off of it but I never felt more sorry for some kids in my life.

It was the opposite in growing up in Seattle when I did. Goth kids were ugly virgins who were social pariahs. We called those the anime kids. Hi, bad guy™! Them too. They still are.

I always liked VNV Nation and Zeromancer. I was definitely not ever a goth kid (I got laid too much for that) but I have always liked some of that electronica/industrial stuff. Note about Zmey's entrance music, I was about to go with "Die Motherf*cker Die" by Dope. I was listening to it on YouTube picturing the entrance but I didn't like the lyrics. The next video that played after Dope's song ended was Suicide Commando's song of the same name. As soon as I heard it, I thought that could really work. Zeromancer might be my second favorite takeaway from this whole period (behind Voltaire - I'm a fan of snark). Your second note made me laugh, because this whole time period came right off the back of the next previous stage in my life when I was a hapless theater/band kid. For those of you blissfully unaware, in spite of what outward appearances might have you otherwise believe, band kids and theater kids (in particular) make f*ck. Now, don't take this as too boastful - I spent three years of high school dating the same, super hyper Christian chick (who inspired a lot of what I was able to write so seamlessly with Daniel Kirkbride), so I was a massive exception to the rule, but I note all of this because for as uncomfortable as that whole environs made her (she was also a band and sometimes-theater kid), this gaggle of goths made the whole lot of them look downright virginal. It was downright commercial - you'd have a better time trying to keep up with '99-'00 WCW than trying to make week to week sense of who was schtupping who with these kids. It was the opposite in growing up in Seattle when I did. Goth kids were ugly virgins who were social pariahs.

Hell no, they aren't. Silly b*tch throwing around money like it grows on trees. And you can quote that in your RPs if you want. It's officially canon! No they can't. You only used one star. Reported. On an entirely unrelated note... ...I've noted before that I make it a point to give everyone's entrance theme a once over at least once at some point or another to better understand the flow of how their entrance might play out in the absence of a provided narrative. Last night, I had to hop on to give Kyzer's selection for Tugarin Zmey a listen, and it's completely turned me on my head. Not only is it perfect for the character, but it's also sent me down a horrible rabbit hole of my circumstantial music selections 14-15 years ago. I tend to go through phases of music, influenced heavily by either where my mental state is at the time or who I'm spending a lot of time with, in that order. In late 2003, I fell in with this strange crowd of goth kids at the first college I went to, which very quickly became my social circle because once upon a time, I could get along with just about anyone (spoiler alert: these same circumstances completely robbed me of that particular social skill). In between doing whatever it is 18-25 year old antisocial goth kids do, a big part of the routine became a weekly clubbing cycle, localized in locales that King Richius could probably give me absolute amounts of sh*t for. Every Monday was "Ceremony" (I still laugh at this title to this day) over at An Tua Nua, which didn't really start 'til 8 or 9 but if you got there before 7 you didn't have to pay the cover. For anyone wondering, yes - a gaggle of goths sitting in a corner booth of a college bar waiting for the college kids to disperse two hours later goes over about as well as it sounds like it would. I didn't much care for this spot, but I went because the crowd went and otherwise I'd sit at home woefully unattached and stagnant. Every other Wednesday, though? Every other Wednesday, we all went to the ManRay, a club that unsurprisingly catered largely to "alternative" lifestyles of every sort. If you had the flier from the previous two weeks, you got in for free. This club was huge. They had two main rooms, spinning separate DJs because it was literally big enough for two rooms to function with two separate lines of bass heavy music without one infringing on the other. The bigger room spun the sort of standard fare goth-bred genres that the masses loved to consume - your Skinny Puppy, Cruxshadows, and the like. Our crowd would congregate on a mess of couches in that room, but I was much more partial to the other room, with a recessed floor, that was straight industrial/electronica from start to finish. All that is a segment of a chapter in my life that could fill a book all its own (likely marketed as a cautionary tale against horizontally cavorting with the functionally insane), and as such, I haven't much touched on that sort of vibe in almost as long, but damned if Zmey's entrance theme didn't have me digging out all my best Wumpscut, VNV Nation, Zeromancer, ScissorKiss, and yes, even a little bit of the Cruxshadows for this morning's commute in. I always liked VNV Nation and Zeromancer. I was definitely not ever a goth kid (I got laid too much for that) but I have always liked some of that electronica/industrial stuff. Note about Zmey's entrance music, I was about to go with "Die Motherf*cker Die" by Dope. I was listening to it on YouTube picturing the entrance but I didn't like the lyrics.

Everyone not named Drakz or Kyzer should be thankful that King Richius is in place to keep me grounded. I would absolutely put DMK in as the chief figurehead of the fed if I had nobody else's good name to sully. Funny you say that, I started thinking about that exact thing last night because of our messages.

Part of the reason I don't consider coming back other than being a lazy person. It kind of sucked putting all of this effort into something to only get the owners to reply. I almost quit last night. At least eight times. Instead, I've decided to just abuse my powers. You don't wanna develop your character? Don't cry to me when he's getting "developed" by DMK. I approve.

So I need to send an apology to everyone, especially The Gangsta. I am still stuck out of town for work. What was supposed to be one night has turned into a week. My half finished Zmey rp sits on my computer at home because I am one of the few who won't buy a laptop. I am sorry about this, I will make this up to everyone.

Is Kyzer's child IRL the actual basis for the Michael Kyzer character. Maybe? Probably not, but maybe. Kyzer predates the kid. Kyzer is based off someone real in my life though. Not myself in case people are wondering.

So my oldest son is set to enter high school this year. We just moved back to Florida and I have a house a block from the beach. I am well off money wise so it is a pretty nice place. I came home from work today to find my son busting his nut in some 14 year old's mouth in my living room on my $2000 couch. Needless to say I was pretty pissed off. I embarrass the sh*t out of him and pretty much kicked the little chickenhead out. We are sitting down at dinner tonight talking about it, and he mentions that he got the girl to blow him because of the house we live in. Then his brother tells me that this type of thing has been happening on the regular since we got back down here. So my shady little sh*thead son has been using the fact my house is pretty much beach adjacent to get happys and have sex with pre-high school tramps. I was so pissed because this is certainly not behavior I condone or have taught him. Come to find out that is what his mother does. She uses her dad's money to attract boy toys. If he makes me a grandfather before I am 40 I will probably straight up beat the sh*t out of him. Or pay one of his redneck teenage cousins to do it.
Moral of the story, castrate your kids at an early age and don't have a promiscuous, shallow ex wife.
