Heaven's Not Enough
08.29.04 (3:02 pm) [edit]another excellent song... from Wolf's Rain.
heaven's not enough
if when you get there..
just another blue
and heaven's not enough
you think you've found it
and it loses you
you've thought of all there is
but not enough
and it loses you in a cloud
"there" most everything is nothin'
that it seems
"where" you see the things you only wanna see
I'd fly away
to a higher plane
to say words I resist
to float away
to sigh
to breathe.... forget
and heaven's not enough
if when I'm there I don't remember you
and heaven does enough
you think you know it
and it uses you
I saw so many things
but like a dream
always losing me in a cloud
cause I couldn't cry
cause I turned away
couldn't see the score
didn't know the pain
of leaving yesterday really far behind
in another life
in another dream
by a different name
gave it all away
for a memory
and a quiet lie
and I felt the face
of a cold tonight
still don't know the score
but I know the pain
of leaving everything really far behind
and if I could cry
and if I could live what truth I did then take me there
heaven goodbye

08.24.04 (7:02 am) [edit]alright, becuz i made a blog about the villain, i felt one should be about the hero. The protaganist, the all-around good guy. Once again, how could we have a story without him?
Just like the villain, the hero has undergone many changes. Instead of being the silent, do-goody "everything evil must die", he is now shown more in depth. We learn of his flaws, and that he is not always the pure hearted soul he used to be. He is just the guy that has what it takes to do the right thing. There are othre types of heros, tho. Sometimes, he does try to always do the right thing, and other times he tries to do the wrong thing.
My version of a hero, is one who is pure hearted. They try to do the right thing, but sometimes they can't, or dont. I used to believe that, the ultimate sacrifice anyone can make was giving up their life to save another. i realized, that that is not true. If u die to save another, then what about you're family and the people that care about u? It hurts them, and might ruin one of thier lives. It's just as bad as if the other person had died. What you must learn, is that there is always another way. There is a way in which nobody has to die. Of course, if there is no other way to save them, then u can make the choice to put yours in danger to save theirs.

08.23.04 (2:17 pm) [edit]so glad to be back to my old self again, but thats not important! this blog is here to talk about villians.
They are in every movie, game, story, and even in life. There couldnt be a story without a villian. They are the conflict with the hero, a challenge he must overcome in order to complete his quest. Villains are what make the hero seem so... heroic! Im not saying that villains are always better, no no no. Im saying they deserve some more recognition. So lets give them some!
In most games, the bad guy is the one u have to beat. But, more and more in most games, they are becoming a main character. It used to be an unknown person in which the good guy fought at the end. But now, we see more of that character popping up now and again to hassle the good guy. In fact, some games include the bad guy as a playable character to see it from their point of view. In games such as final fantasy, and Chrono chross, the player learns more about the villain as the story progresses, adding to the culminating epic battle at the very end of the game. Even in the fabled Mario games, bowser has become a playable character, and he shows up more often. another example- Halo 2. In halo 2, players will be able to use the Covenant alien forces that we have hated so very much in mulitplayer mode.
In my opinion, the greatest villain was Sephiroth from FF7. this guy was just pyschotic in every way. he didnt wanna destroy the world or conquer all, he wanted to go to the Promised Land, and recreate his "mother" jenova, while also wanting to bring back his own race of people, the Ancients. so what if his plan was going to destroy the world, he didnt care about that. he interacted with the main character many times, and even used him as a puppet. What more, he looked cool and carried an incredibly long sword. he walked freely through towns and cities without any consideration of if he could be found by the Shin-rah corp. or the good guys. he killed everyone who got in his way, and his ending music was some of the best. To Sephiroth, insane and psychotic!
just what i needed
08.21.04 (5:04 pm) [edit]ahhh... i feel so much refreshed. ive been doin alot of thinkin lately, about my future and all, and i decided long ago that i would just wing it. no plans or nothing, just go with the flow. but for some reason, i cant help thinking about it and worrying what im gonna do. so i decided to take a bike ride to clear my head. and it worked, so very well i might add. until i got lost... then things kinda went downhill from there. lol, but i found my way bak, and all thru the while i enjoyed the experience. all in all, it was just what i needed.

Stray
08.20.04 (1:46 pm) [edit]Another Wolf's Rain song, a good one as well
Stray! Stray!
In the cold breeze that I walk along
The memories of generations burn within me
Been forever since I cried the pain and sorrow
I live and die, proud of my people gaining
I'm here standing at the edge
Starin up at where the moon should be
Stray!
No regrets 'cause I got nothin to lose
Ever stray!
So I'm gonna live my life as I choose
Until I fall..
Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!
In the white freeze, I never spoke of tears
Or opened up to anyone including myself
I would like to find a way to open to you
Been awhile, don't know if I remember how to
I'm here waiting on the edge
Would I be alright showing myself to you?
It's always been so hard to do..
Stray!
No regrets 'cause I got nothin to lose
Ever stray!
So I'm gonna live my life as I choose
Until I fall...
Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!
Is there a place left there for me
Somewhere that I belong
Or will I always live this way... ?
Always stray
No regrets 'cause I got nothin to lose
Ever stray!
So I'm gonna live my life as I choose
Cause all things fall
Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!
Stray...

Renewel
08.19.04 (7:00 am) [edit]Ive been kinda depressed lately. Most of the time im happy, well, all of the time. And ive learned that once in a great while i become very depressed for a few days, i guess to provide moderation or to recharge the happiness ^_^. School is starting soon, and i dont feel im ready to go bak just yet. i fell as if i missing something, like there's something i must do before i go. This summer has been just the break i needed and given me a break. it's been very boring and nothing has been happening. That's another reason ive been down. the thing that sickens me the most, is ive been incredibly lazy. one of the 7 deadly sins- sloth, when i realized it i couldnt believe myself. I was blind to all the signs, and the warnings. Wolf's Rain music is sad, but listening to the lyrics made me realize that some of the songs tell me the error of my ways-
"people are born with
people are born without
some people have
and others want
what some go without
some people live free
some people just want more
as for me I got all that I need"
i used to be like that, not wanting anything. Thanks to this song, and the movie Kiki's Delivery Service (great movie), ive been inspired again. Now, ill be able to write songs and create new ideas for stories. Ive been cheered up, and rejevunated with faith in myself. My message to all- pay attention to that song. it brings an excellent message about life.

once again, news
08.18.04 (6:38 am) [edit]as i sit here listening to wolf's rain, i bring news. whoopee. lol like i havent brought enough news already. well, when i said b4 that i had my movies, what i meant was first i had enough money to buy them, and second was that i ordered them. i didnt actually have them in my possession. well, now i do! i have 3 of the 6 i need, the others dont come yet. so, today im just gonna sit home and watch em. also, ive decided to sign each one of my posts with the next line in one of my favorite songs, "Run, Wolf Warrior, Run" (kinda like the name of my blog).
[i]Run, wolf warrior, to ends eternal[/i]
My own personal rain...
08.16.04 (6:21 am) [edit]Sometimes when i'm depressed, it rains and i feel calm, as if all is right with the world. I think about my life, and wonder what my purpose is. Is there a reason we are all here? Or is our existence meaningless? The rain calms my worries and refreshes my soul. It's as if God is telling me, "Here, be happy and do not worry. Everything will fall into place."
My own personal rain...
music
08.13.04 (2:35 pm) [edit]music is good! most people have favorite things that they can go to to get away from it all, mine is music. put on my headphones, and im in my own little world. i like all music, rap and country being my least fave and rock and techno being my most faves. lately ive listened to techno on my IO digital cable! hahaha. i keep switchin back to hear for the Robots in Disguise song. its a all girl feminist band, but they got some good songs if i do say so myself. also, i finally got my Wolfs Rain OST 1&2 on cd, so now i can listen to my favorite songs whenever i leave. FF7 is one of my fave games, and the composer for the FF games and many other nintendo games is Nobuo Uematsu. hes my fave composer. his music is excellent, so good that he had an orchestral concert called "Dear Friends" that played all of the FF music he created. thats never been done b4 for game music! i need to get that cd...
video games
08.12.04 (3:35 pm) [edit]i havent posted anything in a while, and i thought hey, what about americas favorite past time? video games! im sure someone plays them bsides me, so the question is... what is the best game? the best game must be on a great system, which to me is playstation, NES, SNES, Xbox, and good ole' game boy. my personal faves are rpgs and puzzle/strategy and shooters, this leaves me with a few choices to pick from. which one do i pick? which one would you pick? im not sure. Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, Einhander, Halo(o yea), Final Fantasy 7, Brave Fencer Musashi, and Fire Emblem! all of these games are some of my personal faves, and rest assured... i will talk about more video game and video game related subjects cuz i left out way too much
no more Aqua teen?
08.06.04 (6:18 am) [edit]the funniest show ever created, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.... the last episode??? How can this be??? i saw a commercial telling that Aug 15th @ midnight will hold the final episode of ATHF. Could this be a joke- a marketing scam to produce more episodes, or just a "funny" adult swim prank that milions will hate!!- or is it for real? i dont believe it, but what if im wrong? no more hilarious plots of everyday life, no more Spacecataz (spl?), no more strange characters visiting to make their lives much harder like the moonanites? NO MORE SHAKE?!?!?!? noooooo!!!! if this is the final, make sure to watch it for the folds of history...
quote
08.05.04 (7:49 am) [edit]yea idunno. i just put up a aweseom quote for some reason.
"If this is a dream, don't wake me."-FF7 great game
my fave would have to be from the show Jackie Chan Adventures! lol it goes
"A vampire? that's crazy Jade. Your crazy."

08.02.04 (7:08 pm) [edit]i said i was gettin em, and i did not lie! i got my movies! all except 3, cuz sadly they ain out yet. Howls Moving Castle should be released in september if memory serves, and my neighbor totoro and nausicaa dvds are released Aug. 31. that means ill have them soon enough!
the legend
08.01.04 (1:31 pm) [edit]long ago, back when man was still an animal, there were evil monsters who ravished this world. Mother Earth opened the gates to paradise and set the wolves upon the land. The wolves fought bravely against the evil and vanquished the monsters. To the ignorant man beasts that remained, they taught many things; and from part of their own bodies the wolves created humanity.
it is said when the wolves seek out paradise, this world will end
