I love Wiki-How.

They have step-by-step instructions on things like how to make a smokebomb and how to use condoms.

Best. Websites. Ever.

Gaijinsmash.net

I think everyone who bothers to keep up with my blog (or anyone who knows me, really) already knows this is one of my favorite web pages ever. It's a blog done by this American dude who lives in Japan. He used to teach English as part of the JET Programme, but once he finished with that he decided to continue to live/work there. He even recently got married to a Japanese woman over there. This blog will completely blow any of your preconceived notions about Japan right out of the water; yet if Japan truly fascinates you it will only increase that amazement. He updates on average about once a week, so it's something that I constantly check up on. So, you should check up on it too.

Explosm.net

Holy Crap...What is there to say? I think Cyanide & Happiness says it all. This comic is ranked second on my personal list of favorite comics (the first being Calvin & Hobbes; I've been reading it since I was five years old and it's pretty much set the bar for comic strips). It's updated every day, and it's done by four different dudes, so there's always something different.

Tuckermax.com

Only the coolest man in the universe. I recently decided to live my life in the Tucker Max way (the telling-others-exactly-what-I-think-about-them-even-though-it's-unwarranted-but-I- don't-give-a-shit thing, not necessarily the whole sexual debauchery thing. But I could do that too.) and I've found I'm a much happier person. The people I give my free opinions too aren't so happy, but they aren't as important as me anyways, so it's all gravy. The only other thing I can say is that pretty much all of the content is pretty dirty in nature, so yeah there's a lot of people who would be bothered by that. If you are one of those people, you are not cool enough to even be within 20 links of that page. But it's the funniest shit ever. Like, gasping-for-breath, omgwtfbbq, coma-inducing laughter. "But how can you go into a coma from laughing?" you ask? Why, from the lack of oxygen to your brain, of course.

Superstringtheory.com

I haven't actually read through a whole lot on this particular web page yet, but I chanced across it a few days ago. My entire train of thought went like this: "The string theory has its own website...and it is aimed at nonscientists...I feel so bad for my future kids because of all the shit they'll be expected to know." Because of course I know nothing about theoretic physics. But then, I blame the schools for that.

also under maddox.xmission.com

I think this one is quite axiomatic.

Cut! Print It/Ready/The Garden/Forgotten/Call me When You're Sober/Only Ashes/She Hates Me

So I flew across the country just to find your broken word
Like the drywall in the bathroom of the hotel room he left me in alone
Excuse me while I let your secrets out
Does it comfort you to think about how wonderful this was up until now?

'Cause this is closure once and for all
Oh, this has to stop right now
'Cause I've been running for my life
And you could never catch me now

So I guess I'll just get going I've got better topics now
And I'm off to find some blank pages to write all of them down
Because these ones have been dirtied with the mentioning of you
And you know I wouldn't say "I hate you" if it wasn't true
Because you're the walk of the town now
And everybody's found it out

'Cause this is closure once and for all
Oh, this has to stop right now
'Cause I've been running for my life
And you could never catch me now

So I guess I'll cut my losses 'cause I lost a lot
I guess I'll quit complaining and I'll start walking it out
Because there is no point in living in a past with that unhappiness
Consider it a promise we both broke
Consider it mistakes on both our parts

'Cause this is closure once and for all
Oh, this has to stop right now
'Cause I've been running for my life
And you could never catch me now
Yeah, this is closure once and for all
Yeah, this is closure once and for all
And you could never catch me now.

I've been waiting for good news
Words to continue singing these ones
To the same demographic
Be it not perfect
Let it be heard by those taking an interest
Not for the critics holding their ears

Gonna get ready
Gonna get ready

I've been waiting for answers
Dancing in circles, making me sick
I've been chained like a tiger
To hundreds of liars all holding hands

Gonna get ready
Gonna get ready

Now I'm calling all the time
All I wanted was a little bit
Of time for me to try, try to get up
I'm gonna get up
All I wanted was a little bit of time for me
To clear my head
To clear my head

I'm calling all the time
All I wanted was a little bit
Of time for me to try, try to get up
I'm gonna get up
All I wanted was a little bit of time for me
To clear my head
To clear my head

Gotta clear it up
I'm calling all the time
All I wanted was a little bit
Of time for me to try, try to get up
I'm gonna get up
All I wanted was a little bit of time for me
To clear my head
To clear my head

Gonna get ready
Gonna get ready
I'm already ready

Oh oh
I really wanted that thing
I just want to sing
I love you baby
Won't you bring
All the flowers you
Find out in the garden
Don't tell me the truth
That your heart has hardened

But you don't want me anymore
How can it be?
Look what you've done to me

Oh oh

Oh oh
The bee does quickly sting
I was wondering
If you could maybe darling
Think? I'd give everything
If you'd grant my love a pardon
And all the fruits
Again would fill the garden

But you don't want me anymore
How can it be?
Look what you've done to me

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

______________________

I'm giving up on everything
Because you messed me up
Don't know how much you
Screwed it up
You never listen
That's just too bad

Because I'm moving on
I won't forget
You were the one that was wrong
I know I need to
Step up and be strong
Don't patronize me

You never got it
Do you get it now?

Gotta get away
There's no point in thinking about yesterday
It's too late now
It won't ever be the same
We're so different now

You never got it
Do you get it now?

Do you get it now?

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me,
Come find me
make up your mind

Should I let you fall
Lose it all
So maybe you can remember yourself?
Can't keep believing
We're only deceiving ourselves
And I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me,
Come find me
Make up your mind

Couldn't take the blame
Sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded
You can't blame the victim this time
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
If you want me,
Come find me
Make up your mind

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I?
You were never mine

So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me
Just get your things
I've made up your mind

Piece by piece and bit by bit
I'll break this down for you real slow
But I can't whisper all of this
And I can't seem to let this go

So I'll watch the matches turn to ashes
I'll watch the matches turn to ashes

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn, turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah, we're only ashes

Part by part and inch by inch
You'll have your mile when it's through
Incinerate what's left of this
And torch the part of me that's you

So I'll watch the matches turn to ashes
I'll watch the matches turn to ashes

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah, we're only ashes

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah, we're only ashes

Met a girl, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued

In a trap, trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She fucking hates me
trust
she fucking hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away

She was queen for about an hour
after that shit got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no

In a trap, trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

Heh.

The whole thing still causes me to be extremely bitter. Yet, at the same time, I have to smile, because I realize...

...it could have been me.

Metamorphosis.

This is my first blog post in my new blog. I'm distancing myself from negativity, just like I said I would. There's really nothing new or interesting to say as of this moment, but I thought I'd say at least that much.
