Hello!

Seeing as there's not much to be said, I'm gonna pull something out of my ass and post a video of an Emery show I took a while back:

Welcome Back, Daniel!

I sincerely apologize for not updating this thing in more than four months, but I suppose I just hadn't found inspiration to write anything, or to rant about anything, and I also feel sad to announce that I still haven't found anything, but considering the fact that it's been four months, I have decided to just type away, talking about whatever pops into my paranoid mind, so here we go:

Over the past months my life has changed; no, that doesn't mean now I embrace any religion (although I have thought about agnosticism, and other faiths that aren't as phony, pretentious and full of prejudice such as... well, you know which ones I'm talking about) but my view on certain things has taken a 180 degree turn, or maybe a little less than that, but still..

I remember when I first moved to this town I thought it would be like the stereotypical American town, with all the cliques, deficiencies, and lack of knowledge that is portrayed in every other American imagery bombed by media, and even though I had come to visit my father in many occasions, I never really payed attention to the lifestyle of the inhabitants of this place that I now finally dare to call "home", not in the sense that I love it, but in the sense that I have come to accept this is where I will spend my life until I am through with high school.

Since the last time I posted something on here, which was in... early December, I was going through this irreverent phase, which hasn't ended at all, but it has been lightly suffocated by a new found feeling of discipline and determination which came from a decision I once thought impossible, I became an athlete.

Mostly driven to this choice because the good ol' American Couch Potato lifestyle had gotten to me, which you should imagine, it's pretty unhealthy, I mean, I've always been into sports, and been pretty agile for a guy my size, I've played basketball, soccer, I was even in Tae Kwon Do for a while, no joke. And after a period of inactivity that extended over almost two years, and listening to my dad's continuous blabbering about how being (almost) six feet tall, I had a certain potential to be a football player. So as soon as the first semester ended, and after discussing it with a few acquaintances, it happened, shit happened, I had first period athletics.

Actually, I am getting a bit ahead of myself, because getting it wasn't that easy in the first place, I had to BEG my counselor to give me that class, and he didn't so I had to skip my actual first period class for about two weeks until the coaches talked to the principal and the principal gave the order to get a bunch of kids Athletics instead of our regular first period (I have to mention that about 90% of those kids have quit football already) and so my little adventure started. I don't really wanna get into details, but let's just say it has changed the course of my life, for the better, and if any of the guys I've met in there read this I am sure they will laugh at me because they're a bunch of assholes.

And well, I'm tired, so I'll stop typing now, maybe I'll have something else to say in a while, or months, like last time.

Watch it and love it:

Jesus is on MySpace!

I was going through profiles on that thing we all love to hate, called MySpace, when I stumbled upon a scenester's profile, you know, those kids with tight pants that make us think: "... and his balls are where?", and observed he had Jesus himself! on his top 8, on number 2 I must add, because even though Jesus (assuming he actually existed) died for his sins, his girlfriend of two weeks is far more important than his savior. So out of pure curiosity I clicked on Jesus' display image, which showed a plastic figure of him giving the "thumbs up" sign to something, I ignore what. So I go to Jesus' profile, and I couldn't avoid to laugh, the thing was so stereotypical, the headline, the about me, the blogs against homosexuality and other topics concerning his almightiness such as the church, false prophets, pride and of course, Santa. Also on the About Me section, there's a note that says:

"ATTENTION: The one who types on my behalf does not in any way believe that he is or will ever be Me. For more info click on the above link. I will no longer reply to messages about this subject, unless it is left as a comment on the relating blog. Which again you can get to by clicking the link above entitled, "Isn't this Blasphemy?"

The funny thing about that is that this guy signs all he writes as "JC", which I assume stands for "Jesus Christ", and even refers to himself as Jesus or "the one who writes in My behalf" but he makes it clear that he's not Jesus Christ, but does not reveal his identity. Weird anyone?

What is even more alarming is that people leave comments on this profile as if they were talking to the real thing, with things such as:

"hey Lord, just wanted to tell you i love you and thank you for forgiving me for the stupid stuff i do."

Sure, because Jesus reads that.

Or

"supp nigga i way thinkk i should be on your top you kno with how innocent i am and all... i follow the 10 commandments=]"

Homies fo' life JC.

And there's more

"i love u lord and i hope that my family can go to heaven because i have asked u in my heart and my family has too but it is if any of them has denied u lord please lord plz help everyone who has cancer and sickness and plz help all in need of u lord i love u lord and i always will amen"

Pathetic.

You can also find things like "thanks 4 da add" and "Praise the lawd!11!1!"

All these amazing words are written by MySpace users who are often categorized by society as "Jesus Freaks", "Bible Freaks", and "that weird kid who never shuts up with that The End Is Near thing".

I also went to some of the commenting people's profiles, and worried, read things like "I am in love with God" and things of that sort, and noticed they didn't mean it in a friends love kind of way, but as in they're really IN love with Jesus, and that is pretty fucking wrong, people, please, I mean, saying "Jesus, will you go out with me?" is like accepting you have really deep issues.

Also the info about him is really... how to call it ...realistic?

Are you fucking serious, dude?

I just give him that he has a good sense of humor, as you can observe here:

"Television: I call that the Idiot Box. Since the croc hunter is with me now, I really have no need for cable anymore. I'm not a big fan of talk radio but I do have a show. Click on the image above to get more info. However KFI has politely asked Me to specify that the one who types is not associated with KFI and the program."

Haha.

"Movies I have to tell you, I don't have much time to watch movies anymore, plus it's almost impossible to find VHS tapes these days. I will tell you, however, that Mel Gibson directed the best film in history: Braveheart. I also recommend that everyone sees Invisible Children"

I thought he was gonna say "The passion".

And he has Johnny Cash as his song, that's pretty cool.



I also read this comment:

"Jesus..where have I been failing? why do I always end up getting so upset and frustrated with people around me? I know that I'm not supposed to look to men, but ain't I suppose to love them? but if I love them, my hearts almost always ends up getting so hurt... help me out... I just wanna spread the seeds..."


What The Fuck!?

Me and my ability to state the obvious

I've come to realize that society's likes or dislikes are based on standars, for example, here in the U.S. people fucking love their pizzas and burgers, while in Korea, people crave their dog soup, and that is because it's what they're used to, but, unfortunately, all that "ethnic and geographic cultural individuality" is going to hell, because most countries want to adopt American culture as their own. It is almost as if the world was a humongous middle school, where all the little wimps want to be like that cool kid, who even though could be considered mentally retarded, he appears to be so unbelievably cool, that he/she is admired by everyone. This, at least to me, is really fucking depressing, because all the world's differences are going down the drain, thousands of years of traditions, forgotten just because believing in Santa Claus and going trick or treating seems cooler than celebrating holidays or just life itself like we used to. I remember this one time, when I was a little 5-year-old and we spent Halloween with my grandmother here in Texas, there were tons of little kids asking for candy, and I didn't know what was going on, I mean at that time, my only connection with American traditions was the holiday specials on Latin Cartoon Network, I was used to celebrating Dia De Los Muertos, which is pretty different from the commercialized traditions celebrated in the United States, and now, when I'm in Mexico in mid-October, all you see on TV is ads about how Wal-Mart (that's another part of America slowly conquering the world) has the best Halloween decoration, and I think: "Fuck! We're Mexico, we don't need any shitty Hallween decoration! we need some candy skulls and flowers to bring to the tombs of our loved ones who have passed away! I don't need fucking candy!". And that's just one of many examples I can mention about other countries adopting American customs, but I'll spare you from that by just saying: PEOPLE, BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS, BE YOURSELVES, PLEASE.

Greatest Idea EVER!

So last night I was being a lifeless bastard, reading a blog (which I very much enjoyed reading) from like, 8pm to about 11pm. This guy goes off about subjects that I, personally find rather interesting, such as hipster pussies, world traveling, video games, and pretty much how Americans are retards minus the physical deformities, well some of them.

I read all the entries under the label of "anecdotes", which took me about four hours, because well, I got into it, and laughed, teared, and laughed some more about the things that man has to say. And for the record, I am not being a little bitch that got wet over some random shit some random twat wrote, this guy, even though he makes remarks about Mexicans that make him seem like a xenophobe son of a bitch, and he states that he hates ugly people, as well as fat people, which tell you he's a bit shallow, but hey, the guy has a fucking full functioning brain, that's pretty rare here in the U.S.

As I was reading more of his posts today, I encountered this paragraph that says:
"See, I managed to get through this whole entry without going off on a tangent about overpopulation and bad parenting and underpaid teachers and how you should have to have a permit to have children. I didn't think I could do it. But I will say this: If you're the type of person who says things like "I don't think I'm going to ever have children, I just couldn't bring a child into a world like this one"... If you are aware enough to say something like that, then you are EXACTLY the type of person who should be having children! The world needs your contribution to the gene pool! Take a lesson from Mike Judge, and breed. Breed, breed, breed, for the sake of our future!"

The part that really caught my attention is the one that says, "how you should have a permit to have children".

Dude, that is truly, the most intelligent thing I've read in a long fucking time, I mean, really, fellow resident of the United States, with an IQ higher than 110, look at your classmates/workmates/guy selling dope in the corner, and ask yourself, Do I think we need more of those kind of people not only in America, but in this planet we love? I THINK NOT!, and don't fucking tell me "Oh but more kids are what America needs to continue being the great country that it has always been!", because, no matter how sad I am for bursting your little bubble, America is not a great country, it may have been one back in the day when it didn't whipe its big patriotic ass with the ideals the Founding Fathers first had when they had the idea of making this the best fucking country ever. And also, about the "America needs kids" thing, yes, I couldn't agree more with that, but people need to learn that having kids is a great responsability, you can't just make it and then say "Oh fuck that, I'll just do whatever with it". BITCH! if you do that, your kid is gonna be just like you, an imbecile prick with wrong ideals about everything. People like that really piss me off, little sluts that say "Oh, I'm pregnant, and I'm 13, but it's okay because half the other girls in my school are pregnant too, and as soon as this little piece of dough comes out of my snatch, the government is gonna give me some badass cash, which I won't spend in stuff for my baby, no, fuck that, I am going to my dealer/fuck buddy's house and get high, and then go to the store and buy that awesome G-unit hoodie I've wanted for MONTHS!"

Natural selection should be replaced with selection by the more intelligent people, because certainly the natural way has become a road to ruin.

No offense to you, people from the ghetto, but you need to die.

This is a test

So, i decided to create this blog because when I was was writing in my other blog [which is in Spanish], I, at times, found myself thinking about how it would be much easier to express myself if I was writing in English, so now I want to know how true that is. At the moment I have nothing to write about, except for the fact that this blog and me, share the same birthday. Yes, today's my birthday, I won't say how old I am because people often talk shit because bloggers are "too young" and whatnot.

So, that's about it for now, I'm hoping I write a new entry at least once a week or so, so stick around and please leave your opinions and stuff.

Thanks!

Hope to hear from you soon.


Daniel.
