Men, remember...

Eiko says...

You've seen it in movies, or read it in novels.
There's a group of men debating over an issue, and the sort of out-spoken girl tries to say her piece or give her opinion but is quickly put back in her place, either by the men folk, or just by the whole situation. It's often that the woman ends up being the fool, humiliated, and put down.

Women, remember your place.

Now, things are different in a messed up sort of way. It's upside down, inside out, and totally not good. There will be a group of ladies, being loud and very much opinionated about a certain topic, and a guy will try to say his piece or give his opinion on the matter. The next thing you know, all the women folk gang up on him verbally, and shut him up. The guy is unsettled and annoyed. What happeed to, "Women, remember your place"?
Welcome to the 21st century, dude.

Men, remember your place.

Wasn't there a prophecy about how when a women president arises, the End of the world is near? Yikes.


LIFE'S LIKE THIS:

It so happens that I'll be visiting Lodge Home for the next few days. I get to take a break from the ever present potent odor of cow manure, and instead, breath in the fresh, Adachi-ku smog and pollution. I don't know which one is better or worse, but it doesn't matter because I'll be visiting good friends, and it will be great.

Did anyone tell you that we have a MAJOR ant issue? I do believe that the ants have created an immune system for the insect poison we've been feeding them, and they are turning mutant on us. They are crowling EVERYWHERE, and the more we kill, torture, poison and get rid of them, the more they seem to appear in numbers and strenngth. Not only are they super-ants, they are huge in size! There are also the really tiny ones, but the tiny ones are the ones that bite! I kid you not. They BITE! I've literally got ants in my pants, bed, stationary, food,...everywhere!
It's EW!

tsukareta

Eiko says...

"You've got 30 seconds to catch your breath!"

My life flashed before my eyes as I collapsed on the floor, sweat oozing from every pore of my body, hands shaking, my heart beating out of my rib cage, and my face flushed beet red.

"You've got 15 more seconds, guys. 15 more seconds!!"

Shawn T's nigga voice echoed in the back of my brain somewhere as I tried to recover from his INSANE routines.

Pant. Sweat. Wheeze.

" 8, 7, 6, 5..."

Pant, Pant, Pant,...

"3, 2, 1 ... SUICIDES!! GO, GO GO!!"

"I'm gunna KILL YOU SHAWN T!!" I yelled as I jumped up from the floor, new strength coursing through my tired limbs as I began another set of suicides.

"This is INTERVAL TRAINING, guys, INTERVAL TRAINING!!"

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUP!" I yelled at my computer screen where Shawn T and his no-fat-super-lean-insane-crew-members were sweating it out.

I gave a quick glance at Yuya who was INSANE enough to join me, and managed a, "Are you alive, Yuya?"

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Was Yuya's very-much-alive response.

"Great!" I replied between pants and more pants.

"Drop down on the floor! Push ups!"

ARGHHHHH!


Ummmm. Yeah. So that's how it is these days. It's an excellent way to work off the stress and tension that tends to build up when you live on planet Earth in human form. I could barely make it through the warm ups when I first started. But now, I can make it through one of Shawn T's Insanity Work Outs till the end, although barely.

It's good stuff.

Revengeful

Eiko says...

Are you into revenge?
Is the Count of Monte Cristo your role model?
Perhaps you are plotting something quite brilliantly sneaky to do to that *itch who ruined your life, or that *ick who broke your heart, or that *ss who totally lied to you. My dear friend, my super-cool-sis from "far far away" wrote this story JUST FOR YOU! You'll love it! Remember to thank her for her troubles.

The Revenge Story

Edward d’Veryvengeful looked upon the sun-kissed wheat fields that surrounded his home.
At last, after years of toil, slavery, and bitter tears his enemy was vanquished, his mother avenged and he could live his life in peace. The breeze from the blue Mediterranean whispered through his hair. Ah, to be free at last!
A small hand clasped his. “We will be very happy here” said Angelina, the love of his life. “I would have died if you had not returned from that duel with my former husband; God rest his soul.”
“Yes, my angel, you are saved and my mother’s death is repaid by the death of the son of the black hearted brother of the man who killed her. –I will never raise my sword again against another man.”
Edward captured his lover’s lips in a passionate kiss.


The End

Epilogue

…Edward captured her lips in a passionate kiss.
And never noticed the bowman taking careful aim in the branches of the sycamore tree; the last son of the cousin of the uncle of the man he he’d killed in a duel to avenge his mother’s death.
“Once this man is laid low,” the bowman vowed, “I will never raise my bow against another man.”

-Yoko Matsuoka

the truth about cupid

Eiko says...

Did you know that cupid is an immature, little kid (I've never seen a picture of cupid any older than 2 years old) who has way too much time on his hands, with no judgement of love and relationships whatsoever?

The fate of love is with that chubby, naked, no-experience-with-relationships-INFANT with wings and a bow and arrow!

He probably just randomly shoots whoever he assumes will be amusing to observe as a love-sick-individual for kicks, and then watches how things unfold as entertainment over a bowl of pop-corn! That's why you see so many strange couples that are just NOT meant to be. Also, sometimes cupid just shoots one lone person with his magical love arrow, but forgets to shoot him/her a partner. We see the results of this all around us! You find yourself madly loving/lusting after somebody, and they just can't return the feelings. It's all cupid's fault!! Catch him! Prison him! Torture him!

Of course there are those lucky individuals who have found lovely partners during one of cupid's hunting sprees.

But you can go ahead and breath because most of the time, God has cupid locked up in his favorite zoo in Heaven, so that cupid will stay away from messing with His great plan and human's free will. Cupid is usually shooting love arrows at animals and strange heavenly creatures, and since everything is perfect in Heaven, he really can't do so much damage. But every now and then, the zoo keeper forgets to lock up after feeding time, and cupid gets away. Being that cupid is faster and more accurate than Legolace could ever dream of being with the bow and arrow, just a few minutes of cupid out of the cage could mean a hundred love stricken individuals.

Okay, I didn't just write that, did I?
sigh.

Vitas...

This guy never fails to give me the shivers!



Boris says that his voice is addicting...I don't get it.

P.S. sorry for not posting in quite a while. I have no excuses whatsoever.

enough said!

SNIP

Eiko says...

One snowy, cold Tuesday, I found myself staring in the mirror, trying to figure out what was wrong. Everything, perhaps? That's quite an offensive statement to the Big Guy up in the clouds who no doubt had loads of fun creating me, but still... there must be something I could do to keep me from cringing whenever I catch a glimpse of my reflection in a mirror or window.
That's when a pair of innocent looking scissors lying around caught my attention, and I could sense the idea light bulb flashing over my head! I would cut myself a new hair do! Well, not really. I would get BORIS (who is quite handy with the scissors, being that she cuts her hair whenever she is stressed or emotional) to SNIP SNIP SNIP!!

So with scissor and comb in hand, Boris sat me down on a chair and snipped away, while spouting off comments like,

"Eiko, your hair is more dead than mine! Seriously damaged!!"
"Your hair is WEIRD! What's it made out of, huh?"
"Did you know you have hair enough for three normal humans? You should donate some to charity!"
etc. etc.

It's all good though. Especially since it turned out quite nicely.

I did hesitate when she asked me whether I wanted to cut bangs or not, being that I WAS trying to grow them out from last year, but I really was tired of how I looked, and decided to take the plunge. I might regret it later, when I once again want to grow my bangs out, but for now...

I look like so.
