What Is Destiny?

   Wow, the title of my blog seems like something that lovesick geeks or conspiracy theorists will search of.  There's also the chance that it won't be the first thing they find, but some Wikipedia page or some more popular information website.  It might also appear in Yahoo! Answers or Dictionary.com, sometimes even its equivalent, Wiktionary.  But you see, the title of this story I have today is so people can find it more easily (25 reasons why I like pickles is still my favorite and easiest to find) and it has both the romantic and scientific parts that I've always wanted to say in a story.  So why don't I begin it now.
   Destiny.  The very words itself seem like chocolate to my ears, especially if I'm the one saying it, because of the way that it shows how seven letters that are both shallow and deep.  In the Wiktionary, it's means that it is the fixed order of things; an invincible necessity; fate, while in Dictionary.com, it means something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing. Simply enough, the meaning of destiny according to these people is an event meant to happen.  But that doesn't seem right.  You can't exactly know that an event is supposed to happen unless you artificially influence it.  That is the only way for destiny to be true to its words.  So what about coincidences, luck, and karma.  Aren't they part of destiny too?  In fact, being born is part of destiny too.  So, what can we say is the true meaning of destiny?
   Let's look at it in a mathematical way.
                                                   Destiny = Fate.
                                                   Fate = Luck + Karma.
                                                   Karma = Good/Bad.
                                                   Luck = 8.
Therefore,   Destiny = 8 +(Good/Bad)
If you're wondering what this means, it means that if you get a number = 8, then that means that your destiny would be bad.  If it goes above 8 but below 9,  your destiny would be neutral.  And if you got more than 9 points,  you're destiny would be good.  Scientifically, i am saying that your chances of coincidences are a lot, you usually just don't notice them.
   Now, I want to tell of a piece of destiny of mine.  I was doing an analysis of the president's speech, and when I was done, I saw that the number of words that I have written were 666.  Ironic isn't it?  I have another tale of destiny.  Now, this destiny, is about how I met someone who I hadn't seen in a long time.  Her, yes her, name was Althea.  She was my busmate back when I was in grade 5.  Now, most people who have read that part would think that "Oh, a love story" or "Ahh, somebody this guy used to like, and now he's talking about it" or maybe even "That's probably his first crush or something".  Now, THEY'RE ALL WRONG.  She was the girl who bullied me physically.  No, not sexual harrasment, she was punching me.  But it can't really be considered bullying since, well, I am 5'9" and she was, I don't know, a 5' or a 5'2".  And I am fat.  So really, it wasn't that big of a problem.  And here comes the story.  I met her again. At the grocery.  And she was carrying a baby.  I was like "WTF! She has a younger sister already."  And then I remembered it.  The times that she beat me up and it hurt, and the times when I would admire her for her strength.  Somebody who was actually perceived by me as cool.  And as a girl.  She was like the most badass girl I had ever met.  But she had failing grades.  And a bad attitude too.  So she had to move to another school.  But, the piece of destiny I saw there wasn't us meeting, because we didn't talk at all (in fact, I don't think she recognized me) but rather the fact that she has a younger sister means that she is learning all about responsibility.  And I don't mean school responsibility, but life responsibility.  This is how I had seen destiny.
    Anyway, I'm am going to end this now.  The understanding of destiny I have come up with is that is a specially creates turn of events created by you yourself using your luck and karma to influence what is happening around you.

Blazblue: Calamity Trigger PSP Review redux

Visuals: 2/5
Music: 4.5/5
Gameplay: 4.5/5
Menu Interface: 3/5
Story: 3/5

Basically, it graphics suck, but at least they're good enough.  The music is incredible since you could get along with the beat while fighting with the opponents.  In fact, fighting is smooth.  Using special techniques is easy to pull off but combos are almost non-existent, unless you consider spamming the 3 same moves over and over for an unlimited chain as a combo.  The menu is easy to look at and doesn't strain the eyes, but the problem is that it goes around in circles.  Finally, the story is average.  The whole time repeats itself thing is confusing and how only Rachel remembers stuff.  And then there's V-13.  Anyway, here's a video link from Youtube with the opening. Rights reserveed to Youtube and the uploader.

Blog Screen

This is a picture of my blog's screen.  See those cute puppies? See that cute explosion? Yup, that's in my blog.
     Today, has been the most normalest day I've ever had.  Yes, screen, normalest is not a real word.  Anyway, I have joined the newspaper club of my school.  Someone like me would usually never do that, but since my original club, The Robotics Club, has been disbanded due to a lack of a moderator, I have no other choice but to join another club.  And this is the club that came to mind, since it was my club in elementary.  Right now, I need to make a feature article that would fit the description of a "Feature Article".  It needs to be an actual feature story and I only have three choices of stories to choose from as my test.  The 40th year anniversary of my school, School athletes, and the Fun Run.  I feel so screwed since the only article that would seem plausible enough to be read normally in a newspaper is the one for the Ruby Anniversary.  I just need to decide on the title and how I'm going to make it work and how to write it as a feature article.  I need to be able to retrace my steps back into how I have done things back then.  Except this time, I'm a feature writer and not a proofreader.

     Anyway, I just got to say why this is a really normalest day for me.  Yes, normalest really isn't a real word, since the superlative form of normal would be most normal.  This day started with me waking up and me rushing to let all my shit out before the bus came.  Yes, that was totally normal.  Then came the time I had to rush for my TLE since I made a mistake in what I was doing and smudged the line.  Totally normal for a person to make mistakes.  Finally, I was able to actually study in a moving vehicle because of my desperation to study for the tests tomorrow.  And here I am, sitting on a chair, typing away on my laptop about my life.  Oh well, at least I was able to study most of the things I needed to study.  And that is normal.  So that is why today was the normalest day for me.  I mean, it's not my fault I'm such a great student each and every day.  That is why today was the normalest day for me.

Bigfoot Watch, Sasqwatch, Sasquatch

Bigfoot Watch, Sasqwatch, Sasquatch

Just saw this on the internet. It looks awesome. I mean, it's a pun of sasquatch and watch so it sounds funny. Click the link and see for yourself.
No, this isn't some form of advertising for Sasqwatches. This is just a blog for me to ponder upon my Cryptozoological research. I mean, sure, it's hard to do original research
But still, it would be awesome if I can do my own original research. Original Research is if I go to the place itself and try to find what I'm finding and not use what other people
did during their time. Doing Original research needs funding, that's why I'm saving up my allowance for a trip to Vietnam for my study of Primitive men. I don't mean Vietnamese
people, I mean those legends of a forest man living in a (duh!) forest.

In other stories, I was finally able to bring my Ipod Touch to school. Yes, It is douchey of me to show it to my friends at the last minute, but still, It's not about the MP3 Player, It's about the earphones. Blue Titan Skullcandy looks awesome, and feels awesome in my ears. I'm gonna go charge it tomorrow so I can bring it to school again since my "Friends" want to borrow it. And then there's the earphones. Still awesome for me! And it has the word "Titan". The titans were awesome before the Titanomachy. They were gigantic Gods who had incredible power over all of nature. I'm still wondering how they got beaten by the Olympians. Better ponder on that later.

Currently donwloading Itunes so I could transfer my music to my Ipod Touch. But it didn't save. Fuuuu! Oh well, just going to download it tomorrow morning when the internet is fast. Maybe it'll take about 30 min - 1 hour. And that's already fast. Anyway, this is my last paragraph since I'm just ranting anyway. And before I forget:

QOTD: Bigfoot is a Sasquatch? No wonder he knows when to show up!

Scientific Stuff is Boring...Unless it involves Explosions...

   According to survivalists, Sulfur and Phosphorous rubbed, create fire.  Even in ancient times, stones were rubbed to make a spark to help in making fire.  Today, we humans have more...Interesting uses for flames.  Some use it to cook stuff in a microwave.  Some use it to burn wood.  The other ones who use it use it for burning Marijuana, otherwise known as weed.

  For true scientists who actually look at science as fun stuff, fire isn't just some reaction of oxygen and some elements. It's a miracle of life, meant to bring awesome effects in movies and in real life.  It is not meant for war, it is for the peace of mind of a person, who will see the incredible flight of fire in the air.

  Yup, That is the simplicity of life. Explosions. Simple. Easy to do. Amazing. Scientific.
