4 - Internal Antennae

         I am a fan of retro games. When I was about six years old, we were lucky enough to have a computer. I have many fond memories of that Windows 98, the type where the large color tube monitor sits on top of the CPU- anyway, we had a large collection of GBA and GBC games that we play in the Visual Boy Advance Emulator.
         One of the games that I played was the Sims: Urbz by Electronic Arts. One of the characters called Gramma Hattie, makes this statement when a certain conversation action is triggered. She said "-do you see the color blue I see?"
         That got me thinking. What if we see things like color in a different way, but have agreed that this shall be called purple, or red, or granny smith green? Of course, science has proved that colors are perceived by the retina and its collection of rods and cones. Question solved. Naturally something else popped up, what if that question can be applied to emotions?
          Its very hard, because emotions are emotions, and words are words, trying to compare them would be like trying to compare a computer to a road sign, and trying to interpret them  into words would only put us into square one, because diction is hard to regulate and words are relative in usage in meaning. But what the heck, let me describe how I feel fear:
          Feeling intense fear, I sense that everything is about to crumble. Inside, it feels like everything is going too slow AND too fast. Its almost like my skin can smell danger and my mind can taste iron. I don't feel a sinking in my stomach, and I also don't sweat a lot. Vague huh? But that's until what words can do.
          Weird huh? But of course, those're feelings, and feelings are subjective. But as I said earlier, what if we perceive a solid thing differently, and to whatever sense they may appeal to.
          I just want to stop while I'm ahead of myself. Peace Out!

3 - From Miles to Millimeters for my Dear Mili

          I believe I have mentioned in the last blog post that techno songs are something that I adore. The next step was finding a band or even a standalone creator, but let's not get ahead of my historical narration.
         As I was playing Cytus, I found a particularly good song that had lyrics. What really caught me here was that the lyrics blended really great into the music. I believe I have to explain to you my connotation of the word blended. The thing is, you won't hear the lyrics, unless you know that there actually ARE lyrics. The song is named Chocological, by Mili, a small group of Japanese musical creators. Strangely enough, all of their lyrics are English, something I found out when I went to their bandcamp page. I also discovered that they have a lot more songs than I thought they would have. In fact, I only have had the time to explore one of their albums. I recommend that you try it. If you are the "heartfelt-everything" type, try the songs "Witch's Invitation" and "A Turtle's Heart." You will find that their lyrics can actually be soulful (if there are any lyrics at all). You will also find diversity in the instruments that they use, I think it reduces the monotony that way.
         Before this post ends, I just want to share with you my personal favorites and the reason why. Number one would be Witch's Invitation, which has an amazing tempo and choice of musical instruments. Oh, and the typical "Halloween" elements made it amusing. Tied for second place would be Chocological and A Turtle's Heart. Believe me, when I heard the tune, I thought the songs would be happy, but the lyrics say so otherwise. Finally, there's Sacramentum-An Unaccompanied Hymn for Tomino. There are no lyrics, but the acapella thing's very neat.
         End of post!  

2 - Lyriclessly

         I am not a fan of contemporary music to be honest. It's not that I "hate" the way the lyrics are sung or constantly repeated as is always the complaint by the people on 9GAG. It's because I actually like music with no lyrics or better yet, unaccompanied, original songs (not Pentatonix; note the word "original").
        The year 2013-I played a game for smartphones called Cytus. I'm sure most of you are familiar with it, but for those who don't, it's a rhythm game published by Rayark, a Taiwanese company. Needless to say, it was very enjoyable, both in game play and the techno songs.
        Techno songs are definitely the ticket. No, not dubstep, brostep or chillstep. Honestly, I don't know the genres of these musical pieces that I found, but seriously, they're great for everything: doing homework, walking around, sitting on the bed or toilet. So I did what most people do, I downloaded the entire Cytus soundtrack, amounting to about 150 plus songs.
        The more I snoop around the web, the more I see people who say that techno songs are corny or emo or whatever derogatory adjective you can think of. Sniff around about the effects of video game music on people, you may be surprised. Oh and of course, this is just an opinion. No biggie!
        Don't knock it till you try it, 'kay?
        Wait for my next post. I'll be talking about one of my favorite techno song creators.

1 - An Introduction

         "I am certainly not a writer of any kind!" Those were the words that struck across my mind when this blogging program was announced. But heck, if it's for grades, of course I have to. Anyway, this blog is dedicated to things that you may find frivolous, not because I want to, but because I believe blogs are for obscure personal things instead of political mumbo-jumbo which may be something for editorials. As of now, I'm still having trouble thinking of subjects to write about. however, I suppose that most of my blogs would revolve around games and perhaps some of favorite books anyway. I don't know, because inspiration that comes to me is spontaneous.

          So, to reiterate, I may post about things that are frivolous or uninteresting, feel free to hate or love, comment or just lurk, it's all okay. Just remember, this is just a blog.
