It's been a really, really long time has it? Well, I'm back for right now and I plan on making a lot more posts, but I feel I should at least do some shameless plugging to get back into the groove of things. I have an archive.org account! Yeah, I didn't really use it much until very recently, as the only uploads were a few Takashi Miike films and the updated version of JPEGMAFIA's LP!, however there was a recent discovery that's insane and I feel I should mention. Ever since Blockberry Creative kicked out Chuu from LOONA, there has been a pretty big boycott against the company and I decided to use that opportunity to my advantage and finally use my archive.org account some more! I really love to archive things greatly, as well as storage related things, I thought it would be best to pretty much download as much as I can from the official YouTube channel and to upload it. I realize though, the uploads are very sporadic so I thought I can make a list of what links to ...

As I turn 18 in a few days, everything in life comes to me in a weird, melancholic way. It's amazing how easy a person's emotions can change, it feels like a switch that you can turn on and off every few hours, if not minutes. I'm afraid of turning 18, I'm not sure why, but it's a feeling I can't begin to explain, and if I try, I easily can get my words confused. It's been a while since I opened up Blogger to make a blog post but I feel comfortable enough to just, type away. About what? I'm not really sure, but it's fun to make a blog post every once in a while. I've had quite the eventful month since I've been away, and to be honest, I don't want to get into it, and I'm glad I never talked about it here. Why, you might ask? Well, in the words of the now neo-nazi Kanye West, I guess we'll never know. I think that Kanye coming out the way he did has got to be, easily, the worst thing that could ever happen, but I don't want to ...

After three months, here comes another episode of 36.5 FM! Thankfully I wasn't lazy and just put it off until I felt like I needed it like last time, but instead, I actually prepped this one. This episode is a tad bit different because there's actually a few songs made by the same artist. I don't think I ever set this as a rule but genuinely I'm not exactly sure what rules I would exactly remember that I set in April of this year BUT we do have a strict policy of no songs ever be used more than once. This time I decided to mix up a variation of popular and general artists, I would use the term underground but what does that word mean at this rate, and would a band like Puffy be considered underground when they were huge in Japan and even made the Teen Titans theme song? I think the term best used is relatively unknown, as I feel that fits the term more as it's more broad. We have a STACKED 30* songs this time! I really loved putting this together and going through t...

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find something to write about, and frankly I don't really have much going on to write about in my daily life. So, for the first time every, definitely not the last, an all media focused post. I'll have something next week for sure about my actual life but for now, it's stagnant, anyways, let's begin. Music! I haven't really talked about music much before on this blog until this month but I think I might be done finding new music for now, and the reason why is because I recently got into Boris, the Japanese band. I'm only 6 album into their expansive discography (I only have 20 albums downloaded) and I have enjoyed everything I've heard so far. It's all pretty great stuff, I started with their 2005 album Pink and I haven't really looked back because it's such a treat of an album, everything about it, not a single bad thing I can list about the album. I also listened to a few more albums too, such as Vei...

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 me again. Realistically I don't know what to exactly write about, yet again, so I guess I'll write about my classes first and foremost, then slowly transition into media consumption. I officially started my second week and it's surprisingly going much better than I ever expected, and the reason why I'm saying that is because I enjoyed it. Yeah, I'm actually excited about school, who knew. Not much really has happened though, I have a test today and tomorrow, one in Economics, which is the one today, and one in my Accounting class which is tomorrow, I don't exactly know what's in check for the blog anymore because I've been so stressed about the last few weeks, I'm not sure what I've mentioned and what I haven't so I'm genuinely everywhere right now so if I sound inconsistent or anything that's why, I did get up less than an hour ago and I'm standing out in the cold waiting for my bus, which! I'm not riding the ...

I don't exactly know what to write here, if I'm gonna be honest. Not much has happened in the last week. I really haven't consumed anything, or done anything I'm exactly happy with and I don't really wanna talk about school right now so I'm kinda stuck in a rut on what to write about, the only thing on my mind right now is like, how much I hate my school but I don't wanna keep being negative in all my posts, that's lame. After this week though I feel I'll be better. I think I'm in a mental rut because I literally haven't done much to warrant any dopamine reactors in my brain to go off, which from today forward I'm gonna set a precedent that I have to watch something every single day, from now on. Why? Watching things is fun, so of course I wanna watch stuff. It'll help calm me down as I've been feeling so stressful these last few days, so much so that I found my first white hair! It's on my wrist and it sticks out very much, I...

Well, I start school in 2 days, which would be a bad thing but it's absolutely not for this blog! Every 2 days always got something happening so it's easier to keep track, but I'm going to write about the last two days since I've had something going on in them, then I'm going to write about the summer in general, and some general life updates. Thursday was the first time I went out to a restaurant in god knows how long, and I was pretty happy with what I got, I went to this pizza place I haven't been to since, what feels like 2021, even though I know I been there this year, and got myself a pizza. I know, invigorating, after that I stopped by Target and got some clothes for school which I'm pretty happy, I only got one shirt which was a InuYasha shirt, a show I never watched, now generally I would be against that stuff but I really liked the design so I got it. I'm not sure how common it's a shirt with all the characters in white and the logo in red...

Not much has happened since the last blog post unfortunately but that's also, not really a big surprise. As expressed before, I start school pretty soon, like in 2 weeks soon, and I'm kind of stress, I went shopping today for a backpack and it started to smell like the outside of the school and it kinda just hit, it's back soon, and I don't know what to think, it's been a fast summer, I mean, really. I watched a lot of films and bought a bunch of Blu-rays and dug around with some games and stuff so I'm very happy I was able to do that, this is the last summer I can do that since after this year I have to deal with college stuff, so I'm gonna consume a bunch of random media whilst I can, I started playing Sonic Generations after going through a rough hour or two, missing files, not starting properly, configuration, all that stuff. I finally figured out the problem and that's I had to turn off the anti-virus protection and not redownload the steam dll file...

God, it's been a LONG time hasn't it, I'm really sorry. I would make up some type of excuse and say "Oh, I'm really busy!" or something like that but genuinely let's face it, that's not the case, I'm just really lazy to write a long form post like I usually would do, now with that being said let's talk about a few things! Monday I went to the park, and I swung, which I love to do, I don't do it much unfortunately and I wish I did it a lot more often but I never feel determined too, I listened to a lot of Sematary during this and it was fun, everytime I swing I get a ton of ideas flowing and it helps me with a clear mental state which helps me a lot with my creativity, and this time wasn't any different. After I was done I kind of, might've, maybe vomited. Usually after I'm done swinging I feel pretty bad and out of breath (I don't get a lot of exercise) but this time I figured out why, everytime I feel that, it was me trying...

Hello! Didn't think I'd forget about this huh, well, you're wrong, if you even had that thought to begin with. This is episode 2! Unfortunately it's a month late but really I have no excuse for that other than I felt really lazy so I decided just to not do it last month. We have some new changes, first of all, and important to note, no more hosts. I figured it'd be cool to do it but honestly I don't wanna bother and this is about the music itself, and is going to solely focus on the songs, that's why I made it to begin with. This time, instead of 10 songs, we have 20! Yes! Double the songs! I decided to do that as there's more artists I can throw in as well as the ones I would usually throw in. I hope these 2 changes benefit the show, as they helped me take off stress from compiling everything. The running length for these for now on will continue to be over an hour. There's a lot more variety in this episode I'm pretty happy with, and a ton of m...

It's been a while, sorry about that. I was gonna write a blog post yesterday but I ultimately ended up forgetting too but some cool stuff happened so there's that! What's first, well, I'm happy to say I'm now the new proud owner of the World Of Wong Kar-Wai Blu-ray set! I was gonna wait until June to get it but since I had the money and I felt incredibly impatient I decided to jump the gun now and get it, I'm very glad I did because it's truly a great set. I was set to get it today but unfortunately Jeff Bezos had to send his little goblin minions out later than planned and now it's set for tomorrow. May God release fury against him and the ones he loves, but I'm glad I'm getting it regardless because it's an amazing set and having it in my hands would be incredible. I 100% promise a post about it that details the packaging and the booklet it comes with so be ready for that, it's either coming tomorrow or Saturday but there will be a post...

It's been a while since I've done a post like this so if everything seems awkward that's my fault, I need to do this more but I have decided I'm gonna use this time to talk about something I've noticed. Well it's a few things, but most notably negativity. It thrives so often it's slowly becoming a part of people's daily life, mine included. I noticed it immediately when I was going through k-pop fan tweets and was suddenly reminded of the low morals of some of the people who are anti-fans of some groups, most notably LOONA, and I genuinely felt awful after reading some things and I don't want any part in it. Now it doesn't stop ther, obviously, with the advent of music fanbases. Talking from half a decade of experience, and general observations, fanbases are probably the worst thing to happen to the internet, that and music discussion, now I've openly stated those opinions on this blog before but it's 100% the truth. They're always dr...

If you've read this blog any, you would be aware that I'm a big (even huge) fan of the k-pop girl group LOONA, also known as Girl Of The Month, which is a group under the helm of the corporate evil known as BlockBerry Creative, whose parent company is Polaris Entertainment (whom Ladies' Code were under before the tragic incident) and it appears to be their only group. I'm gonna be calling BlockBerry Creative "BBC" so it can be easier to type in the long run. LOONA is a great group, the members have personalities that can get you hooked on to ANY of their vlog series, and their appearances on random variety shows throughout Korea, and their music tends to be very good too, as BBC seem to get the best producers in the game to make music for the group. There's a lot that can be said about the group in a positive way, and trust me, I can be here all day to talk about it, but there's one downside to the group. Their line distribution. If you're not awar...
