here's part 3:
The sun was beginning to set, and the sky started showing shades of orange and purple. Still, most everyone was still enjoying themselves on the beach. Gojyo, who was playing in the ocean once again, walked out of the tide. KJ, who was watching some young adults play volleyball, stood up when she noticed her son walking towards their house. “Gojyo!” she shouted as she jogged towards him. “Where are you going?”
“I gotta go to the bathroom,” Gojyo answered.
KJ was now next to her son. “Why didn’t you just go in the ocean?”
Gojyo shook his head. “It’s not pee, Mommy.”
KJ understood and nodded. “Oh. Of course. The door’s locked, you know. I’ll let you in.” The two walked further away from the ocean and crossed a street. On the opposite side were two small one-floor houses about twenty feet between each other. The structures of the two houses were the same, but their appearances couldn’t be any more different. The one on the left was Daisuke’s diner; it was painted sky blue on the outside, had some lighting fixtures across the rook, a sign that said “Dine at Daisuke’s” in front, and asphalt laid out for parking. On the right was KJ and Gojyo’s house; an ordinary brown, no bells or whistles, and a plain lawn of grass in front.
The two walked up to the front door of their house. KJ reached into her pocket, took out her house key, and used it to unlock the door. “Thanks, Mommy,” Gojyo said as he ran into the house towards the bathroom.
KJ stayed outside, resting her back on the open door. She looked at the sunset over the ocean. “Beautiful, isn’t it, Cho?” she thought to herself.
As she was about to smile, she heard screams coming from behind her. She ran to the side of her house and to the backyard. She saw a young couple running in her direction. The girl was a redhead, short, and very busty, wearing a skimpy white bikini. The boy was buff, had a deep tan, shaved brown hair, and wore a deep blue Speedo.
“Nao! Hiro!” KJ called to them. “What’s the matter?”
The couple stopped in front of her to catch their breath. “It’s...it’s...” Hiro panted.
“The blue...fire,” Nao stammered. “It’s back.”
KJ’s eyes widened. “Oh my god!” she exclaimed.
Hiro continued, “It’s headed in this direction. I don’t think it’s going after us, though.”
“Tell everyone on the beach to get in the water, quickly!” KJ cried urgently. Nao and Hiro nodded, then followed KJ’s order.
KJ looked in the direction Nao and Hiro came from to see blue flames very quickly approaching her house. “Gojyo!” KJ whispered to herself. She sprinted back to the front door and into the house. “Gojyo!” she shouted into the house.
Her son’s voice called from a hallway to the main room of the house. “What’s the matter Mommy? I heard screaming.”
“The blue fire’s back Gojyo! It’s coming this way!” KJ turned around quickly and saw the fire traveling across her front lawn towards her. It was only a few feet away. “Oh [parasitic bomb]!” she whispered in disbelief. She jolted into the house and pulled the front door shut.

Here's the next part of Berōsanshōuo:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man in his late fifties was standing in front of a grill, a white apron covering his bronzed chest. He looked up to see Gojyo and KJ running towards him. “You two must be hungry!” he called to them.
“You bet, Mr. Daisuke!” Gojyo called as he reached the grill.
Daisuke was KJ’s longtime neighbor in Chance, running a small diner out of his own house. He was a great friend to KJ’s family, and also a bit of a father figure. Daisuke laughed heartily. “Well, lucky you. I have a couple hot dogs already ready for you and your mom. How’s about that?” He handed Gojyo a hot dog with various toppings on it.
Gojyo’s eyes lit up at the sight of it. “Thanks, Mr. Daisuke!” He took a big bite. “Mmm, it’s really good!” he exclaimed with food still in his mouth.
KJ patted Gojyo’s head. “You expected anything worse?” She turned to Daisuke. “You remember my usual, right?”
Daisuke laughed again. “Of course, KJ. Extra sauerkraut, hold the relish.” He handed KJ a hot dog to her liking.
“Oh, you know me too well,” KJ smiled as she took the hot dog. “I gotta say, it’s nice to see everyone having fun.”
“I hear you,” Daisuke replied. “And it’s even nicer to see you two out and about.”
“Eh. It’s just so hot today. We gotta enjoy ourselves a little bit. Hiding in fear of the blue fire won’t help us.”
Daisuke lowered his head. “Sounds like something Cho would’ve said.” Both Daisuke and KJ sighed softly. “It was two years last Monday, right?” he asked her.
“Yeah,” she solemnly replied. But she quickly cheered up. “That’s the other reason we’re out. I figured we should have enough fun for the three of us. We just can’t let our guard down.” KJ took a bite of her hot dog.
“Good,” Daisuke nodded. They both looked to Gojyo, who had finished his hot dog and was playing with some of the local children. Daisuke looked back to KJ. “You know, it’s still a miracle how the fire just went away last time. Like it gave up or something. You ever figure out how that happened?”
“If I knew, I would’ve told you a long time ago, Daisuke,” KJ replied. During the last attack by the blue fire, Gojyo was its target. The fire had trapped KJ and Gojyo within their house. However, as the fire went for the kill, it suddenly ceased its attack and disappeared.
Daisuke shrugged his shoulders. “Yeah, I figured as much.” Their attention turned once again to the children, who were preparing to break open watermelons. Daisuke smiled. “Alright, now it’s a party! Let’s help the kids out.” KJ nodded with a giggle, and the two ran to help the children.

it IS their fault. i'm tired of saying it. they're the ones that hit the panic button. they're the ones that made the decision to give up and let it consume them. it's a subconscious decision, but it's still their fault. biological fact.
look, i've cracked under pressure before. a few times, even. but i got over it. i waited it out. i let it blow over. stress does not last forever.
and going back to my original point, suicide is a permenant solution to a temporary problem. namely, stress is such a temporary problem. and you know what, this scandal is temporary too. you can get your money back in this case. you just have to give it time and pray for the best.

« on: February 03, 2009, 06:00:07 AM »its not the persons fault if pressure makes them crack.
yes it is. if they can't take the heat, they're obviously not dealing with the pressure appropriately. they have to learn to relax, blow some steam, get their mind off what's troubling them. there are many ways to do that, ranging from taking a nap to smoking pot. even having just a little bit of hope is all it takes. look at what it did for the White House.

i don't feel the least bit sorry for anyone who's weak enough of a soul to commit suicide. especially in this case. like that one guy said, "It's just money."
i do feel sorry for the man's wife, though. and my sympathies also go out to anyone who got conned out of their money by Madoff. that man is pure evil through and through.

Anime & Manga / Re: What Anime are you Currently Watching?
« on: February 01, 2009, 06:38:30 AM »There you go. For a random, easy example, the fight with Nrvnqsr Chaos is reduced to Shiki mauling one or two measly dogs (I'm looking at you, Akamaru), while in the original novel he had to deal with dogs, deer, sharks, and, if memory serves, even a freaking elephant.
now, abbreviating fight scenes i can understand. but from i've heard, the story itself is heavily abbreviated. Sonic says, "That's no good!"

« on: January 31, 2009, 07:00:08 PM »
you know, i've been hearing a lot of crap being slung at The Anime Called Tsukihime. and frankly, it's not fair. while i'm sure the original game is better, who's to say the show isn't alright by itself? it's really giving the wrong idea to nubs like me. it's kinda how i look at Dracula XX on SNES. if Rondo of Blood didn't exist, Dracula XX could've been an alright game. i say could've, cause Castlevania 4 is superior to that game in every way, despite being made 4 years earlier.
to the point, i've seen 10 episodes of The Anime Called Tsukihime, and i think it's about time an unbiased opinion of it shows up. and i must say...
it's not that good. it never really gets anywhere quick enough. rising action was very little. the transition from establishing the setting to the climax is sudden and unfulfilling. that works for comedy, but not here. a lot of characters aren't that interesting either. i doubt my opinion will change with the two episodes remaining.

While looking through some old drawings I did in high school, I came across one design I never really gave a story to. So I decided to remedy that. Here's the first page or so.
Berōsanshōuo
Chance, a small, young town in Okinawa. A prime selection of beaches, and very friendly residents. Sounds like a great vacation spot, doesn’t it?
Well, not so much as of late.
The once peaceful beaches have been threatened by fire. Not wildfires or arson, mind you. This fire is blue. This fire does not burn trees, buildings, and the sort. It only burns human flesh. It even burns the bones, and leaves no ashes behind. Some say the victims’ souls are burned away as well. This fire also seems to target one person at a time, ignoring all others in its path. This fire has terrorized Chance since March, and made sporadic appearances for three months. Many residents evacuated. Those who didn’t moved closer to the seashore so in the event they were attacked, they can escape harm.
A month and a half had passed without an attack by the blue fire, the last appearance being in the beginning of June. Many believed the summer heat had driven it away. Most residents became far less fearful, almost to the point of forgetting about the blue fire altogether.
One person wasn’t like that. Her name was Kerrianne Joanna Prince, age 31. Everyone called her KJ. She moved from Oakland, California, to Chance on the day it was founded, and has lived there ever since. Her husband, a firefighter named Cho Kazetsubaki, died of influenza 2 years ago. She continued to raise their 5 year old son, Gojyo, on her own.
The day was July 15. There was no wind. There was no cloud cover. The temperature was the highest all season. Everyone in Chance was on the beach, relaxing the day away. KJ and Gojyo were no exceptions. KJ was lying down on a towel under a large red umbrella. She was wearing a lime green bikini and denim shorts cut very short. Her emerald green hair was tied back into a low braid that reached halfway down her back.
“Hey Mommy!” Gojyo’s voice rang from the distance. KJ sat up and looked out to the shore. Gojyo was running to her. He was wearing a black surfer’s bodysuit with red stripes on the sides. His blue hair was tied back in a very short ponytail.
“Did you have fun in the water?” KJ asked him with a smile.
“Yeah!” Gojyo replied with enthusiasm. “The waves were so big!” He spread his arms out to illustrate how big the waves were.
KJ “ooh”ed in response. “You must be tired from playing in those things, aren’t you?”
Gojyo shook his head. “I’m not tired. I’m just hungry.”
KJ stood up and brushed some sand off her behind. “I think Daisuke is barbequing right now. Let’s go get something from him.” Gojyo nodded and began running along the beach, laughing along the way. KJ chased after him, laughing as well.
