Yep, you guessed right. This is going to be the part where I list things and behaviors that piss me off. ^^
Warning. I tend to vent on these topic and trust me, this rant will not be a child-friendly one. If you have sensitive ears (Or eyes, as it were) you might want to leave now.
Today, I'll be addressing some of the childish behaviors I've had to put up with as of late.
First off, the "emo" behavior. No, I do not care if you look like one. I do not care if you listen to "emo" bands (Even though the word "emo" is just a bastardization of a totally different genre of music as it is today, I'll let that slide for now.) or if you look "emo" (Once again, bastardization.) I do care if you decide to bring a fuggin' raincloud over your head that fits everyone in the room. Everyone has "bipolar disorder" or "manic depression". These are just words to justify your bitching at everyone who isn't assertive enough to tell you to go the hell away. Nobody wants to listen to you pissing and moaning about how horrible your life is or how nobody likes you or how you're just soooo lonely and so on and so on. These people need to just talk to a mirror. I'm busy enough as it is and I don't need someone wasting my brain cells while talking about how shitty their lives are and how they have no friends. No s**t, you have no friends! Want to know why? Because they hate listening to people b***h. And then--as if they were going to win a reward for being the very definition of a self-absorbed t**t--they counter with accusations of me being an a*****e because I don't understand their "condition". How they're bipolar or how they have ADD or some bullshit of that sort. And then they go on to say that somehow their "condition" is so acclimated, the world's best psychiatrists can't do s**t! As my good friend Mav once said: "*sneeze* Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit." Personally--and I know this may sound mean--I don't care if your life is a hellhole. Just quit trying to drag me into it! Now don't get me wrong. I'm all for lending a shoulder to cry on and all that jazz. But when I have to sit and pay attention for an hour and a half listening to someone b***h about how McDonald's got their order wrong--not to mention read all the asinine poems and suicide notes that they wrote when the guy wouldn't give them a refund. Nobody gives two shits, alright? If you want any scrap of respect that you can possibly get from me after pushing all of this bullshit on me, please do the following: Go to your room, lock the door, take your favorite suicide note that you wrote at the McDonald's drive-through. Then write a P.S. explaining why exactly you performed this act of stupidity. Then go ahead and cut yourself, swallow a bottle of tranquilizers, hang yourself, whatever you prefer. I'll laugh at your funeral.
Next up: You snobby little bastards who have to examine everybody's musical tastes and compare them to your own. I don't know how many people have scrolled through my iPod and said "Oh my god, this is s**t. You f*****t, how can you listen to this? Here, listen to My Chemical Romance/Fiddy Cent/Justin Timberlake/Whatever the hell I think is good." Holy s**t, I thought that my musical preferences were...I dunno...MY MUSICAL PREFERENCES! Thank you so much for clearing this up for me! Please, tell me all the songs on your playlist so that I can mold mine to be exactly like yours! For a generation of people that are obsessed with being "Unique individuals" and crap like that, you sure do want others to be a lot like you. Another little side-thing (And I know I b***h about this a lot. Deal with it.) I must mention is when people give me their iPods and say "Hey man, check out this new street s**t." and then expect me to nod my head and praise this aural homicide that they've hit me with. And then when I--in my most diplomatic and polite tone--say "Hehe, sounds good. I'm not much into rap, though", they have to look like I just told them martians had landed! One instance, the guy said, and I quote: "What? But you're black; you have to like rap! Oh, I get it. You're a jazz guy, right?" ...God, I wanted to kill him. He's lucky I do actually like some forms of jazz. But on a side note, I'm just as white as I am black. Yeah, my mom's white and my dad's black. In America they call me black and in Africa they call me toubab (Which is translated to "white man" wink . Both equally piss me off. I'm not black, I'm not white, and I don't want to be associated with either. Moving on!
You know when someone confronts you with a really serious tone and says "Hey, I've got to ask you a question and I want you to answer totally honestly." and then when I answer something that they don't want to hear, they get all offended and pissy at me for it? If you wanted me to flatter you and stroke your ego, just say "Hey, I'm going to ask you a question. Please lie to me to make me feel better about myself." I still won't do it, but hey, you tried. Right? Now...the most annoying instance of this--and I'm going to pick on you girls on this one--is the dreaded three words that every guy's girlfriend is going to utter at one time or another. "Am I fat?" This is possibly the worst question in the history of bad questions! Want to know why? Because there's no right answer! You say no: They start whining and accusing you of being a liar just to circle around and ask you again. You say yes: They get all offended and don't talk to you for a period of about four-to-six weeks. Period varies depending on how much you brown-nose them afterwards. It's especially infuriating when they know they're not fat and are just trying to get more flattery and attention out of you. This doesn't just pertain to weight. People will say "Oh mah gawd, I'm so ugly/stupid/annoying!" just for people to go "Oh no you're not. You're really pretty/smart/not annoying." Well guess what, you are plenty annoying, and probably stupid as well if you have to keep looking to validate yourself with peoples' pity complements. If you really need that, go talk to your parents to have them tell you how special you are. Just leave me out of it.
I have a lot more to go on about, but I'll leave that for another day. Happy rantings!

Honestly, what is it with the commercialism for Valentines Day? Do you know how it really started? When a man with the last name Valentine went and gave a heart-shaped card to his best friend whom he hadn't seen for years on account of the friend being in jail. Yeah, the best friend was a guy, and no, Valentine wasn't homosexual. It wasn't even about the kind of love it's associated with now! And still people literally kill themselves over not having a date for this sham of a holiday.
Now, while on the subject of Valentines Day, let's look at its symbol; also the universal logo of love: the heart. Do you people know where the shape of the heart originated? From the shape of a woman's rear. That's right; it's really just an upside down a**s. The Greeks even built a huge temple to worship Aphrodite's buttocks. Sounds really romantic now, dunnit? This has been your once-in-a-while cynical rant from Aquas Magus. Thank you, and have a nice mutilation of what should be a normal day.

Ooh, that last one seemed kinda suicidal, didn't it? ^^; Sorry about that. For the minute few who were wondering, I'm still very much alive. I did some more thinking last night and I think I've come up with the answer.
My idea is that the purpose of life is to find the purpose of life. Just that simple. What is the purpose of life we're supposed to find, you ask?
...hey, I found it out on my own. I ain't doing your work for you. xp

Lately I've been doing some thinking...a lot of thinking. To nearly an unhealthy extent... What is the purpose of life? Every which way I look at it, life is just a sandbox. No ultimate goal, no monumental worth. I mean sure we can chase our dreams to become a good actor and such, but isn't there anything more than that? You grow up being educated to get work to get money to work more. It's just a cruel and ultimately pointless cycle. And what is love, anyway? I always thought that it was just a natural sort of process to become happy, but now any way I look at it, it looks like just a facility for mating. Nothing more... I know...rather I'm hoping...that there's something I've missed. Something that gives our lives meaning...but I just can't find it. Maybe our fates aren't in this world. Perhaps...
Perhaps only death will tell.

Another musing: Relationships |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well most would think that I'm the last one to be talking about relationships, considering that I have yet to have any physical relations with a girl past a hug, but I'll be talking about it anyway.
Having relationships with your friends and such is pretty cool. You learn something about someone else and sometimes you can have a special person that you can go to whenever you need some sage advice and whatnot.
But there's another kind of relationship that isn't so great. A relationship between teens that is often mistaken as love. Honestly, most relationships like this are bad. There can be several reasons for having a girl/boyfriend. Status, feelings, neediness, and drama are the key factors most of the time. Teen dating is just a pain. Stupid, superficial, and always leaves you emotionally ruined in the end. Here's the basic process. Imagine Jack sees a pretty girl named Jill. (Yeah yeah, quiet. I'm just making a point.) Jack watches Jill for a bit and decides that he wouldn't mind going out with her. So Jack wanders over and uses some sort of witty pick-up line or scheme to get into a conversation with her, in which he has to wrack his mind for more witty things to say, lest she get bored with him and gives him the cold shoulder. Provided Jack passes this little initiation test, he sees Jill a few more times and is promoted to the title of "friend". They go through their friend stage, in which Jack has to make himself look like god on earth in order to get her attention away from other people onto him. Eventually, he'll ask her out and then he has to bust his hump making sure she has the time of her life at this date. If there's one thing she doesn't like then she'll make it known, subtlely or not. Now if Jack actually manages to pull it off, then they could be considered "dating". They go out on a few "harmless" dates in which Jack continues to provide Jill with fun and entertainment, which gets turned to fondness and admiration for Jack. Eventually, Jack will go a step further and make another move, probably to hold hands or kiss her or something to that extent. If he keeps his timing right, then it works and they become boyfriend and girlfriend. Now's when it all goes downhill. Things are great! Jill has a shoulder to cry on and a guy who will pretty much do whatever she says. Jack gets the male dream, known as a girlfriend. Physical relations, such as kissing, occur and they both have fun. Yay for them! (Physical relations past that vary. In the worst case scenario, they have intercourse, which could lead to an entirely different subject. I've already put up a rant on the subject somewhere else.) From this part on, it can go either way, so I'm not being sexist. Jack could do the same to Jill, but I'll use Jack as the protagonist here. So, Jack could be believing that they really truly genuinely love each other and they'll grow up to get married etcetera etcetera. Jill could too, for a time. But there's always someone better out there and one of these betters display some interest in Jill. I'll call him Brad. So Brad notices Jill and displays some interest, though he doesn't make a move since Jill is clearly spoken for. But Jill has gotten bored of the same old Jack day in and day out, so she decides to see Brad for a while. Nothing sexual or anything. She just evaluates him. All the while, Jack is blissfully unaware while Jill is preparing herself for the breakup. She stops replying to Jack's "I Love You"s and doesn't kiss him as often, etcetera. Finally, she decides that it is over between her and Jack and tells him so. Jack is totally shocked while Jill is unperturbed. Jack most likely throws a fit and Jill acts like Jack is being the bad guy by not just saying "Okay" and walking away. Now Jack is at home crying and downing twelve bottles of his parents' vodka to relieve his depression. In the meantime, Jill and Brad are repeating the same old process until a better girl/guy comes along. Repeat.
Sounds fun, huh? If you're fourteen and think you're going to be with someone for the rest of your life, chances are you're wrong.
My word of advice, though few if any will follow it; If your significant other starts acting differently toward you--less affectionate, stops telling you they love you, starts arguments easily, stops opening up to you, etc.--you might want to brace yourself for the worst, because you can bet that they're doing the same.
Now for the next part. People who absolutely insist that they NEED a girl/boyfriend at all times. You are prime targets for this cycle. Why? Because someone can treat you like a house pet, but the way he/she will make you feel will make you forget all about it.
Reasons why they say they need a girl/boyfriend?
A) "I need someone to talk to about all my problems! If I don't, I'll go insane or something! Why? Because I have some sort of mental/emotional condition that makes my needs much more elevated than everyone else!"
That's not exclusively for significant others, you know. Teachers, parents, and normal friends are all around you for you to lean on when you have troubles. At least, that's what real friends do. If you don't have any friends like that, you might want to focus on getting some instead of getting a significant other.
B) "I need someone to hug and kiss and stuff!" No, you don't NEED someone like that. I've gone fifteen years without one and I'm still going to hold on for the right person even if that means waiting fifteen more.
C) "Nobody loves me!" This is the one that makes me angry. Yes, people love you. You're just too busy treating everyone as guests to your pity party to see the people that do. Living without being loved at all is much more than having a bad day and deciding that nobody cares about you because a knight in shining armor didn't come to whisk you away to fairyland. Having nobody who cares about you is an empty existance, and people in that situation are so desperate that they usually kill themselves. No, I'm not encouraging you to do so because chances are you're not one of them!
D) "I just need someone to love!" People who say this shouldn't even be trying to date in the first place. Why? Because love isn't just a position. It's not something where you can have just anyone fill up. There's going to be that special person who you will genuinely love, and just running around looking for someone who will go out with you isn't the way to find them.
Ultimate Dating Advice: Don't try to get a partner. Quit spending all your time looking for someone to throw your life away on and start living it. I'm fairly certain that blatantly flirting is more of a turn off. Keep your friends as friends and let fate do the work for you. It'll let you lead a happier, less stressful life.
I know this probably didn't make much sense, but I was just speaking my mind. *shrug*

Magus's Rants #1: Response to thread in ED |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, being part African-American myself, I figured I should just put in my thoughts.
Firstly, why is it that my skin pigmentation must govern my tastes in music, clothes, friends, girls, etcetera etcetera? Is it wrong that I like rock/video games/computers/anime/japanese music, you get the point. No, I do not like rap. (There are some rap songs that I like, but I don't really like the majority of it.) No, I do not use the N-word. No, my pants do not sag down to my knees. And I know there are more just like that who are sick and tired of being told to "Act black". That's the most asinine thing I ever heard! I do not act "white" or anything of the sort. I am Bakari and shall act as such.
Next point. And not to bash the author of this thread, but I just have to get this off my chest. Why is it that so many African-Americans must start saying "Oh we were in slavery" or "Oh we were hit with fire-hoses or made to give up our seats on the bus" and such when they weren't even born at the time?They were in slavery and they were hit with fire-hoses and made to give up their seats on the bus. And while they were making large strides for the race as a whole, you (Not the creator, but just to the people who milk this to get people to do whatever they want) have no right to take credit for what they did. Finally, and this is actually going to some of our African-American citizens out there. Stop calling racism on every last freaking thing! If a white guy doesn't let you cut in line, it's not because he's racist. It's because he wants whatever he's standing in line for and you should wait your turn. Please stop using your race as a guilt card.
That's about all I can think of for a while. Once again, this was not meant for any one individual and I apologize if I offended anyone in any way. I probably won't be checking back here so if you'd like to respond, go ahead and PM.

The many titles of Magus! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are all my titles that I've been called and my comments on them.
Nerd--Guilty as charged.
Lord of the Nerds--I'm not the lord of them. Just one of the members. That's more of Alex's territory.
Geek--Nonono, it's nerd. Sounds more intelligent.
Band Geek--I prefer Band Nerd, but whatever.
Alimamo--*facepalm* Please don't ask about that one...
Gamer--Darn straight!
Final Fantasy Fanboy--I've seen much worse. I mean, I'm barely anywhere in FFVII, which is the gamer's Mecca, or so I've heard.
Nintendo Fanboy--*cracks knuckles* Got a problem? (Still love a good Wii/DS joke, though.)
African God--Only used by one person...don't ask...
Yeah, those are all the ones I can think of for now.
