its beautiful :,)
Le sigh.: Thursday, May 5, 2011
It looks like I will have to get surgery this summer. Sigh, more money spent. Hopefully I won’t be out for the count too long so I can get to work on The Long Goodbye. Life should be less stressful by then. This has not been my year at all! First I was able to study abroad for just a tad at Cambridge, then I found out that I cannot afford it. Afterwards, I develop a kidney infection and now this.
Balls.
Balls.

i was lying
on te ground
it was very hot
that day
and it was wooden floor
my room mate passed by and commented on the weather
i said "yeah, it is very hot. but i feel a lot cooler now because i am an angel."
after nodding in agreement, my room mate let, then backtracked and said, "wait, you are what?"
"an angel. a snow angel. but in this case ... a dust angel."

im le tired
I refuse to label my game "shonen-ai" because if Arthur or Alfred had tatahs, would I say: The Long Goodbye, an Adventure, RPG, and Straight-Ai game. No.
If I am not going to use Straight-Ai.
I will not use Shonen-Ai.
i was thinkign about the homo in tlg and i thought:
i am a americercan, i dont give
a shit. people should give less shits.
eat less fiber
then i laughed to myself for 2 minutes and paused. wondered why it was funny, and continued luaghing for an undefined amount of time

Oh Stockton: Wednesday, April 27, 2011
Photo of the Stockton Boonies - From Yours Truly
I am proud that my beautiful hometown, Stockton, has made it to the top of the "Misery Index" according to the Forbes. Central Valley, forever.
Originally, I wanted to make a game about a changing landscape. When I was a child, I lived in the Northern end of town which was very rural. I remember there was a field of sunflowers that bloomed every late spring, and I told myself that one day if I ever wanted to run away from home, I would go there. A few years later, I did live there - except in a constructed home atop of my paradise. Meadows no more.
Though, Studio Ghibli made a movie so similar to what I wanted to do. I gave up on the idea. Then I played a game called Age of Empires III, and I fell in love with the colonial era, and I wanted to make a game set in that time. However, it would be hard to work with human characters. Would it be a multi-generational game? That would be a tough narrative to pull off.
Then my cousin introduced me to Axis Powers Hetalia, and I put the three ideas together - badum. TLG.
Its kind of tragic, really. In 2001, my hometown was nominated "The All-American City," then when the housing crisis, the land was worth nothing.
What an insult. It is the most fertile regions in California, and arguably the United States. Not to mention it is a beautiful valley, but needless development fueled by greed to capitalize reckless and ruthless has resulted in blocks and blocks of empty homes, now used to cultivate various narcotics.
God Bless America. Bless God America. America Bless God. Herp. Derp.

Stephanie: They are selling songs for 69 cents on Valentines Day on iTunes.
Me: Really?! Is that cheap?
Stephanie: 69 cents of Valentines Day.
Me: But ... I don't know if that is cheap or not. I don't buy music often.
Stephanie: 69 cents.
Me: I guess that is cheap ... I just don't listen to music a lot! This doesn't mean I pirate or anything. Blah-blah-blah-blah-30-more-seconds.
Stephanie: Sixty. Nine. Cents. On Valentines Day.
Me: What?
[Stephanie draws a visual]
Me: Oh ... OH! I GET IT!
Stephanie: You are retarded.
Me: NO! NO! I just don't have a perverted mind.
Stephanie: You are retarded.
Me: You always say I have a brain of a sixteen year old boy, that's not true! Maybe I just have a brain of a nine year old.
Stephanie: You have the brain of a retarded sixteen year old boy.
Hm.:
This is a gorgeous speech.
by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

San Francisco, 2011 - Photography by Me
Sigh, I do miss Northern California so much. I may not be in the "Golden State" anymore following university if I do follow my dreams and manage to get into the Bureau. I do hope I can get that honors internship.
Hm. A bit of a tangent, but its funny of T.L.G. evolved. If someone asked me what it was about and required me to explain it in one sentence, I don't know if I could do that. It's not really just a story about the War for Independence, or Alfred and Arthur or Alfred growing up. I suppose the closest I can get is: It is a story about a innocent creature who lived alone in the wilderness until he was brought out into civilization, and lost everything. Then at the end, chooses to return to faux childishness in order to revive what has been long gone forever.
Thinking about it, it is a little be Transcendentalist. Especially with the emphasis on nature and whatnot. I ended up departing so much from Hetalia, the game barely shares any themes at all with the show - besides the idea of history and edutainment. I wonder how many people are going to be upset with me, hoho.

Updated list of changes: Thursday, April 21, 2011
I think this is a complete list of all of the changes the gameverse as with the Hetalia canonverse. Hopefully no one will find it too offensive. They are there for a few reasons. Like I specified on my blog, I am very picky and I cannot pick what narrative I wanted to represent in personified characters. It was just a difficult situation to deal with, so I decided to make them their own separate entities that explores this world alongside the players.
The characters are not personifications. They are spirits that watch over a territory or people, independent from the politics or populace. In-game, they are explained as:
Guardians: No one knows for sure how they came to exist, except they are born from people and are tasked with watching over them. They never age past maturity, and live as long as an ‘unwritten history’ dictates. They carry the title and status of the land they protect.
Alfred and his siblings are a confusing exception as they are born without ‘people’ or an absolute heritage.
The spirits characters in this game exist to defend the interest of whatever they watch after. Whether it is land or people. In this gameverse, Arthur was never a pirate. He has always been a military man for England, and eventually the British Empire alongside his own siblings.
Arthur was absent for most of Alfred's childhood and Alfred lived alone on his Virginian estate for decades and decades where he became an independent fellow. He was never spoiled and became a self-established young man. The brotherly relationship between the two does not exist in this timeline. Though Arthur found Alfred to be endearing as a child, he was always a busy person who has 'better things' to worry about.
Alfred has no people. Most of the residents of the 13 Colonies are apart of Arthur's herd, as they are British Colonists. They seek to Arthur and his Empire for protection.
Alfred is a mongrel. Unlike many other spirits, he has no identity, no people.
By the French and Indian War, Alfred and Arthur were virtually strangers. Arthur asked for Alfred's assistance because he needed a reliable guide through the wilderness.
The war was a result of people's squabbles. Alfred and Arthur problems stems from Alfred's low class status as a spirit without an identity, pure heritage and his lower status as a colony. Alfred's problems with Arthur stems from his desire to protect the land and the people that resides there, and his wish to "live" a life of his own.

i was walking down a shopping center and i thought "BIG BOOBIES!" and then the next thought was "MELANCHOLY." then i stopped walking an thought to myself: "why was the next word in my head "MELANCHOLY""
then i thought "MELONS. yes. because they are as large as melons, but why .... choly? like cauliflower?"" then it dawned on me ...
because they are large as melons and they make me sad because they are probably fake.
MELANCHOLY.

There is just something about a traditional keyboard that I love so much. I think the cacophony of keystrokes makes me feel so productive.
