dear mom,

happy mother's day.
i know you think mother's day is pointless, and the whole gift-giving is just a waste of money, but it's still nice to say "happy mother's day." doesn't that make you feel a little bit more special? after all the pain and suffering to bring us out to this wretched world, all the effort you put into raising insolent children like us, all the food that defines home as home, it's only natural for you to have a day being dedicated to you.

on a side note, saiyaman got back on gear and released 192 raw. w00t.

i found a link to this article in my friend's profile. that is so messed up. women shouldn't be treated so low like that. i mean, whats the fun of shooting naked women with paintballs? a poll on the site gives this result: 49% says "it's a new low, both degrading to women and dangerous," another 37% says "what's the big deal? women are willing participants." i don't get this. why the heck would they want to do such thing? first of all, it's painful. second of all, this game basically declares you as animals. for shafooboomafoo's sake, strippers and prostitutes are probably a much better occupation than this. that, putting aside all the STDs.
america is getting filled up with sick and twisted people like these. poor america. i wouldn't be surprised if this will be the first nation that god executes his judgment upon. and i wouldn't be surprised either if toby the devil puts americans in a group with the germans and french.

in an attempt to deplete my bandwidth for this month, here's some good songs worth listening to:
[*_*] janne de arc - eden
[*_*] janna de arc - rainy
[*_*] janna de arc - rainy ~instrumental~
[*_*] l'arc en ciel - flower
[*_*] the brilliant green - ai no ai no hoshi
[*_*] noriko sakai - pure
[*_*] shela - treasure
[*_*] shela - sakura
just a reminder, and also to prevent me from getting into trouble: go buy the CDs if you like these. i think some other songs in the CDs aren't as good, but i haven't been able to find these songs being sold in iTunes. if you really like japanese music, try itunes' japanese radio station, japan-a-radio.
