It's been a while since a blog post and I would like to formally apologize for that. I've been busy with life doing such things as contemplating writing a blog post and sleeping so I haven't really found anything to blog about, so I think I'm going to talk about what I know best, Godzilla. I know I have an abundance of Godzilla on this blog but it's for one reason, I love the thing. There's something about Godzilla that brings me to peace like no other, I'm not sure why either, he's a giant monster that loves destruction and nothing more. I can be here all day talking about him though, but instead I wanna talk about the media surrounding Godzilla, just in general though, I feel there's a lot to talk about there. Did you know that the 1956 American re-cut of the original G film, Godzilla, King Of The Monsters , got a theatrical release in Japan in 1957? That's really interesting, I never knew that happened, I wonder what that release is like, if i...

Did you know that the original 1954  Godzilla  film actually isn't the debut of Godzilla? You'd think it'd be as it sparked a whole new genre of film, and has caused such a big influence allowing the character to be celebrated to this day but actually, his first appearance was a 1954 radio drama based off the first draft of the script, which ran from July 17th to September 25th in 1954. It was titled  怪獣ゴジラ  or, translated into English,  The Monster Godzilla . Unfortunately, not much is known about this little oddity outside of the cast and crew, and the fact it even exists. It's a little baffling, not gonna lie, it's weird to think the first public appearance of Godzilla wasn't actually the movie, but some tie-in radio drama from the 1950s most people, if not all, seem to have forgotten about, you'd think for how large and important Godzilla is, it'd be archived better as much more, random obscure stuff is archived, like the 1993 comic  Godzilla vs. Cha...

I was supposed to make a post Friday but unfortunately got wrapped up in something I quite frankly didn't want to. I'm unfortunately finding less and less to write about what I'm doing at school, as it's pretty boring and mundane right now. The most I can talk about is my coding class in which we wrote some code to execute a very simple Tic-Tac-Toe program and it was pretty fun, it wasn't like we had to code line by line, which would've been miserable since there's specifically 94 lines of text to write for something that basic, but instead we had spots where we had to fill in the blank, it was fun! I really like HTML and to some extent coding, so I'm pretty excited to see where this class goes and takes me, as this semester we're going over the very basics in HTML which I have a pretty good grasp on. I keep saying this and I'm going to say it again, I hope one day I'm able to put this blog on it's own designated website although I really...

Hello, it's been a few days and for that I wanna say sorry, but it's been a worthwhile few days. For starters, the JPEGMAFIA concert. That was genuinely the most fun I've had at any event and I'm so happy it was for my favorite rapper, and the fact it was on my final day of school as well, it genuinely felt everything at that point was coming together, just for the record, 80% of the post will be about this show. I ended up at the venue at 4:43 PM and we waited in line until the doors open, then we had to go to the back of the line because I forgot my ID, which was disappointing but I still got a good spot nonetheless which I'm thankful for. I noticed throughout the line a lot of people had graphic tees on, most notably the Veteran tee, which I never saw until now in person so that was cool, and I also saw some extra stuff like an American Psycho shirt and a Tommy Wright the 3rd one too. I was in line for nearly 2 hours but it was worth it 100%. For being my first ...

It's a Thursday right now and I clearly don't know what to do really, since today is a half day there's not much going on outside of exams and nothing has happened really in the last few days to warrant a long detailed post like I usually do. Yesterday was pretty eventful so I'll talk about that and some side stuff. Since yesterday was my first and second class exam, I decided to leave early because after 2nd I didn't have anything else after that and the school allowed us to leave, because I heard through a teacher that they weren't checking for attendance after the period was over. I only had to do one exam though because the day before I got my 2nd period exam out of the way because that class is 90% seniors and it was field day for them so there was literally just me and another senior who didn't leave so the teacher let us take our exams pretty early. It was fairly easy too because it was the exam he'd given us last semester. So the only exam I was ...

Well it's the final week of school, and my math teacher is STILL assigning geometry work. This post is gonna be fairly short because not much has happened outside of a few main things so I'm gonna delve into that. I feel really, really good. Yeah, that's no surprise but earlier today I was having this killer headache, like it was genuinely unbearable so as soon as I got home I immediately rested, and now I feel much better. For some reason, in 4th period, there was a smell that was very waxy I think and it just made everything, much worse, like it became so bad it felt like a machete pierced right into my brain, it sucked so much and for the rest of the day it was pretty bad still. The bus ride home was very fun though but that's because I did something I haven't done in a long time, which was refreshing to do. I sat down and listened to a playlist that wasn't LOONA, or JPEGMAFIA or Haunted Mound related. I listened to other music and varied it out a bit and it ...

There wasn't really a blog post yesterday mostly because there really was nothing to talk about, I still don't feel like there is but unfortunately if I put it off more depending on how much content I have to write I'll start feeling bad, mostly for the lack of writing I'm doing. With all that being said, let's start writing shall we! School ends next week, thank god for that. It's been a stressful last few weeks and I need all the time off as possible, even a week would work but 2 months is absolutely an option I would choose too so I'm not complaining either way. It's not that school was much of a problem before but the new bus ride makes me get home way later than I did before and that's stressing me out because it doesn't feel like I have time for anything really in that day, but alas! A new plan. You guys know how I haven't watched movies recently? Well I'm going to change that. I've noticed that the platform Tubi, which is just ...

Oh wow, it's been forever hasn't it, I am so sorry. Ever since the last post I've loosened up though and I feel much better. There's been a lot of new stuff since my last update life post so let me run through it! School wise, it was nothing much, boring as usual but in 4th period one day we had a substitute teacher that wasn't too bad, that's about as far as that went. Other than that nothing much, school wise at least. I haven't watched a movie in a few days which is driving me a little crazy so I'm gonna watch one tonight hopefully, more preferably Ringu from '97? I think? It looks cool and it has a Arrow release so might as well, they tend to have incredible Japanese movie releases, although as of late their quality control has been horrible since they were bought out a few months ago, even the customers are making jokes about how frequent the quality control has been, more specifically about their 4Ks, you know, I haven't bought a Blu-ray i...

Ai Aso might genuinely be one of the best musicians probably EVER. I can't stress that enough, and no I'm not joking either. She's an incredible musician, her melodies, the way she plays guitar, her voices, her whispering. Oh my god. It's all genuinely amazing. I feel like I've found Christ in these songs and I'm not letting go in any capable. I know this post is out of nowhere but I have to state this now and only now. Ai Aso is genuinely phenomenal, Lone (2014) might be one of the best live albums, it's so good, genuinely sounds like studio quality. It really takes me out of my stress. The soft melodies invoke a mood in me that's peaceful, I don't know what about it though that makes me feel this way. I'm not complaining either way, I'm happy I feel this way about it. Her voice is so soothing over her guitar playing, it's cute in a way, but it moves you emotionally. I was listening to her earlier on the way home from my bus ride and I ...

Ugh, this is going to be a mostly negative post so might as well get the positives out of the way. Word searches! I don't know how much I've talked about them but I'm really good at them, which is good because I like playing them. I didn't discover this until last year when I got bored and started looking up word searches out of nowhere and began playing them a lot. I was so good at them, would always beat one in 2 minutes or less, which is cool. I bring this up out of nowhere because I was playing a word search last night and it dawned on me, "Have I never talked about word searches on the blog?", and it felt like I haven't, so I'm talking about it now. Great story, I know. What else, Godzilla! Yeah, sorry to mention him yet again but it's a staple, he's gotta make his way into every post so it's better if it's just right there and done, but what about Godzilla? Do you guys realize how many Godzilla films are technically called Godzill...

Man, where do I even begin. Not much has happened this weekend except non-stop media consumption, which to me is far more interesting than anything that physically can happen at least, nowadays. Let's see, Saturday, what happened Saturday... Oh right, I watched Audition (1999)! It's a great little film from Japan about this dude who wants to get a wife because his wife died 7 years prior and his son tells him he should get married, so he tries to. There's not really much I can say that wouldn't be a spoiler but it's definitely an unexpected movie, but a great one at that, definitely comes recommended, I enjoyed every single second of it. I also watched both of JPEGMAFIA's visual albums, which are The Ghost Pop Tape and Darkskin Manson , they're both more laid back than I remember there being, if you know you know. I'm particularly enthralled by both because they're genuinely great pieces of work and I wanna experiment like that with my work in the f...

Well, it's the start of a new month, so that's some type of excitement. I've spent yesterday under a lot of self examination after recent events and I still don't know what I should do in order to self improve, it seems obvious right? Like it shouldn't be this hard to figure out what's needed. It's really not though, that's the thing. I know what to do, but I don't really wanna do it because I don't wanna change although change is absolutely needed. I don't know why I don't want change though, I know it's going to help me but I just don't wanna change. It's strange, my mind is all over the place right now though, sorry, not much has happened over the last few days and I need to type something here in order to feel at least some type of accomplishment here, which is surprisingly easy, it takes one thing and I'm rambling about some topic, which is good for me and my mental health. Having the ability to talk about whatever y...

Did you guys know Pizza Hut has that Big Dinner Box meal? Yeah it's a great deal, 25 bucks for 2 medium deep dish pizzas, bread sticks and wings. It's pretty nice to get if you eat pizza regularly or you can't be bothered to cook in the slightest, for me, I get pizza every Thursday. Since I eat that much pizza it should be noted I am probably an expert in what's the best and what isn't and what is, and for the case of Pizza Hut, it's probably the best. No question. The pieces I had were small but very fulfilling, which is what I expected from a deep dish honestly, so I'm glad to know I'm not mistaken. Overall a, 8/10? It's not the best experience with pizza but god damn is it great. I was gonna speak at a college but I forgot to reply back by the date they wanted me to which is greatly disappointed since this would've been my first time at a college to actually take part in something, let alone read my poetry out loud. Which means I probably am n...

Something interesting happened yesterday, not really but that's a good opening sentence to catch someone's attention. I started to read Uzumaki by Junji Ito and, to be honest, it's possibly some of the best media I have ever read. Presumably I don't really read much, even though I'm a writer. Junji Ito's art style has always been visually appealing to me for some reason, the way he draws the characters and the area surrounding them is always fascinating to look at, on top of a thrilling and exciting story (in terms of Uzumaki , that is), it ties it all together to be a really great read in general, and I'm pretty excited to finish it today. I've only read 12 chapters out of the 20 published, so I'm gonna do a little speed reading later this morning. It's all visually appealing though and keeps me intrigued, I really wish western media incorporated more manga elements... I'm thinking of graphic novels aren't I? Yeah, I am. Either way, it...
