Easy? Hard? Who has it easier?

Well since it's been about a few weeks or so since my last post of everyone's favorite topic (once again this blog is not entirely about women so new and old readers don't get the wrong impression of what I write my posts on). But recently I've been watching a lot of romance/comedy/school life anime. It has come to my attention as to in this crazy existence we call life when it comes to love who has it easier? What I mean is for example for some guys it is absolutely terrifying to approach a girl that they like and tell her how they honestly feel about her. Now on the flip side (and one that I have learned about generally from watching tons and tons of anime) it is the exact opposite as well, in addition to making a man like me say "awww, thats so cute" by seeing how awkward she reacts around the guy she is interested in and attempting to woo him with homemade lunches or walking home with him. But that is my question that I pose to both male and female readers. Who has it easier when it comes to these kinds of things?

Now I've learned in my travels both as a student and as a ninja, that on the guy's side that a godly man should strive to be the leader for the woman that he loves. I'm not saying that this is hard (but it is definitely an honorable thing to strive for), but you can see how much a man must strive for to win the heart of the woman he loves. On the flip side I'm pretty sure spiritually you girls must have it just as difficult if not more. Now here is my disclaimer: I am about to really rant about some of the things that make me want to vomit when it comes to romance and I'm going to be brutally honest so if you don't want to read it skip ahead to the next paragraph but I'm sure you're going to read it anyways, but don't say I didn't warn you. Society is really shallow, I mean so shallow to the point where I hate the thing called American media. Everything is "Cupcake Land" when the media portrays love. For instance: guy/girl meets opposite sex, said couple share time together (for what seems like every minute of thier life) and everything is happy happy, love love. Oh but it gets even better said couple then share first kiss, followed by them sleeping together (OMG HENTAI!!!). Now tell me you haven't seen this in several hundred shows on television right now, and if you haven't I challenge you to Mortal Kombat (just no fatalities). This in and of itself is not what your everyday young adult runs into when it comes to love. Then again you have to understand our culture where sex sells and everything is idealistic (but that could be said even with anime as well). I can write something better than said scenario above, I call it my life. When you live in a society where 41 women don't want to date you because your facebook profile pic is from an anime, is clearly an indication that society is shallow. No I don't find the girls that my social profile ask me whether or not I would like to date them based on thier picture is much like buying a used car based upon a picture that the seller posted on the day they picked it up from the lot ten years ago.

End rant: geeze all that ranting made me forget where I was going with all this. Anyways call me judgemental but you can see how much stress society puts on both men and women when it comes to constructing an ideal relationship. Based upon what society puts on men it's get that girl now because eventually if you wait too long she'll either get old or find some other guy (usually a rich shallow guy). Girls, doll yourself up (but not to the point of that of a prostitute, oops that should have gone in the last paragraph) because guys are so dumb and so visually motivated that if they don't notice they are not worth your affection. In reality society makes relationships hard, dates are based on money and love boils down to looks. So if I had to say from my point of view love is difficult for guys, for girls getting a guy to know that she likes him is hard and for society relationships are hard for both men and women. I can't talk on the difficulty from a girl's point of view or society's (I just ranted about it so no more of that). In all honesty from my view and my bias as a guy, I feel that it's difficult for guys in relationships. We try so hard to make a girl happy, but at the same time we are tempted by things like sex and trying to be sensitive to our other's feelings because to us some relationships may not be permanent. But in a society that says live it up, it's difficult. But at the same time people also say that women aren't figurines that should be put on a pedestal and be loved that way. I know that feeling well, I feel the same way about my interest the same way. From my personal view love and relationships should be innocent and sweet, yes this all sounds like "Cupcake Land" too but hear me out. Things like this two people should be truly happy together, the things that society expects from them do not matter to them in fact they are oblivious to them. They would laugh together, smile together, cry together; there would be pain and struggles though but the two would realize that, but it wouldn't get in the way of how they feel for each other. But like I said life makes that difficult to attain, even for guys we're raised to see the ugliness and foolishness of dreams like this. I bet if I said this to any guy I know they'd beat me up or laugh in my face. All I can do is hope that I may share in this dream one day.

In conclusion I came up with something that perhaps all single guys can do if they struggle with feelings such as this. Be a blessing to a girl first, simply be there for her talk with her, help her with simple things even if they sound stupid, tedious or silly. In this way actions speak loudier than words, if she notices your willingness to help or simply being there for her she'll know how you feel because girls aren't stupid like guys. Even if she doesn't feel the same way, you'll be someone she trusts and between you and me trust is just as good as her saying she likes you. That is what I strive to be and it'll be difficult, but it won't stand in my way.

A Look Into a Pitch XII

Well a late happy holidays to all my readers. Been busy with a ton of good games (Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Chrono Trigger DS and Valkyria Chronicles) so this is why this is late. So without further adue, the first of one of my looks into a pitch XII.

Prince Ariyo Overon
Age: 17

The third eldest son of the Overon children. As a child he lived amongst the citizens of the kingdom of Overon. Unlike his brothers and sisters he is the only child to remain in his homeland. He has little memory of his father the king, but vaguely remembers the words he was given upon recieving his key "The key is only a part of what it will take to rule our land". He has no liking to his title as prince and has decided to live among the rural people. He currently lives with his foster family, living a simple life. He believes that the twelve kingdoms should live in peace and harmony and fights so that under his rule he will unite the twelve lands wrought with war.

Kyrio Price
Age: 30
Occupation: Farmer

A simple farmer who lives happily with his family in the kingdom of Overon. He is the foster father of prince Ariyo. He is well aware of Ariyo's past and seeks to provide him with the love and life that the prince has always wanted. A former reserve soldier of the Overon military, he set down his sword vowing never again to fight again. However with the beginning of the fight for the throne amongst the children of Overon, the key has selected him as the knight for Ariyo. He will fight to protect the young man who he has considered his son and to protect the land he loves so.

A prince and his knight the farmer. Next time a young princess and her knight the psychopath.

A Look Into a Pitch III

Well finals are officially over for me, only thing now is to submit two papers electronically and I get a nice break. Without further adue, here's another look into a pitch III.

Uberos class demons, generally they are not reborn into human vessels due to the enormous strain they put on them and are instead reborn into demonic weapons. However some are reborn, generally they are not very easy to awaken. This is a class of demon that far surpasses that of a perfect demon class. They take on many shapes and sizes, some the size of buildings others the size of humans. They possess devastating power enough to end the world itself. The demon generals possess dominance over them and can summon them if they wish to fully unleash the true potiential of thier weapons. The most dangerous Uberos demon ever classified is the Calypto demon, whose power is feared by all beings. Thus to fight or release one is the most terrifying experience of all.

Creed special ability: Origin.

Genetic memory has been the topic of scientific debate since the year 2012. How does a being know what to do in order to survive? Some would say that it is instinct, others say that it is because it has been genetically encoded into our minds. The instructions of our ancestors on how to live, survive, fight being passed on not by natural selection, but by their memories. In 2018, scientists have only been able to observe said genetic memories but were never able to have the subjects apply skills of thier ancestors. The Rapt family line has been highly sought after for the subject of research. Jonas has the unique ability to recall skills and memories of his ancestors, thus making him the perfect killer. However he also posesses a unique ability to also recall the personalities of them as well. His ability Origin, allows him to become the first legendary assassin of royalty: Asus Rapt. So targets do not face one opponent, but an entire clan.

Next time on a look into a pitch III, Cron corp's "Lightheart Armor" and the secret ability of Haxx.

A post that will please two readers

Well finals are unofficially over for me (I've got to turn in two tomorrow so it won't be official until tomorrow.). But that is besides the point, Now I promised one reader in particular that I would post something that he might like (enjoy it now because tomorrow is another look into a pitch III). With that said, that very same reader once asked me if I ever had a chance to date the girl I used to like what would I do? Now if it had to be back then I'd answer the traditional dinner and a movie. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, but it sounds too stereotypical for a date plus I wouldn't want to do that all the time since good movies are rare these days. Now the other girl, being from another country I gave it some thought, but since things turned out the way they did I think this particular date I had in mind could work with the girl as of right now.

Now is the moment of truth, here is my so called date plan. Now from what I hear from most of my friends I'm a real mystery to them. Well that might not be entirely true, but I am known as the "anime guy" since anyone sees anything anime related or whatever my face pops right in thier head (you guys make me laugh and cry at the sametime sometimes =P). No this plan doesn't have anime in it (that is another possible date though) despite she and I enjoying some titles in particular if you were thinking that you better be looking out your window to make sure I don't summon some clones to annoy you TO DEATH!!! But really here's what I'd have planned. Yes we would go have dinner and talk, pretty standard stuff. Now after said nice dinner I'd show her where I grew up. We'd go down to my old hometown La Palma (which isn't all that far from Long Beach or where I live now). I'd show her my old house, we wouldn't go in it since people live there now, but I'd show her around the neighborhood. I'd share my memories of what fun things I did, tell her how the neighborhood lit up during the holiday season (to my one reader take your significant other there if you have time around december, it's really pretty). Then I'd show her where I went to school my elementary, junior high and high school, it's funny how they're all located around where I used to live. Once again I'd share my memories with her the fun ones and the painful ones at my junior high and high school. I'd share the painful ones with her since those are the ones that had a strong grip on my heart where a lesser man wouldn't have been able to bear I'm sure that she would listen. It would all end with a visit to the central park, again this location isn't all that far from my junior high or high school. Where we'd simply take a walk or sit on a bench just the two of us.

I suppose that will have to do for now, another date would involve her showing me around where she lives. But that is pretty much on her behalf and I would be there willing to see and experience it all with her. So that post satisfies one reader, a look into a pitch III tomorrow.
