Ok, i'm just writing this just want to keep this blog up to date. The good news is that i'm going to Japan in three weeks and i'm really, really looking forward to it. But I have this weird relationship with that country. I'm going to be learning the language in uni, but it kinda feels wrong? idk, it just feels like i'm become one of those Japan obsessed weirdos, i mean i have a k-on pfp. But at the same time, shouldn't i purse something I like? Is it wrong to want something? Idk, I would rather be called a weirdo because i'm white with no Japanese or Asian heritage who know the language, then just sit around here doing nothing. I'll do it, and I don't care what people say about me. At the end of the day, its better to do something than nothing. Even if that something can be questionable, except if its illegal or fucking weird.
Other news, I finish the Nausicaa manga today. It's very good. I mean, very, very, really, super, amazingly good. My thoughts are jumbled on it so this won't make sense if you haven't read it. But, I love the end. Its weird to say since so many people online may call it horrible, or pessimistic. But I think Hideaki Anno is right, it's very hopeful. The simple idea of just living is very inspiring and refreshing. In a world when most stories end in a definite, happy or sad ending. The Nausicaa manga stands out as a modern day parable. Nausicaa chose to live as we do today. The crypt present hopeful, but ultimately depressing future. Where yes, humanity can live again, but only to repeat his own mistakes. either by using the technology of the crypt or not, like the Doroks and Tolmekians. The concept of the crypt itself was the issue with humanity. We think we can control ever, from the plant around us, the creatures on the earth, and even our own rebirth. We think we are Gods, creating the sea of corruption and changing the animals, even ourselves, to suit the planets rebirth. When should have always taken the real issue, control. Thought the book, many people, and factions tried to take control of the world though war or coups. But Nausicaa ways remained still, allowing the world around her to take control. Only interfering when life itself was at risk. That I believed was the point. To protect life, and just live. Thats what Nausicaa did when she destroyed the crypt. When took control of the world away from man, and let life take course Just like we do every day. You and me both don't have full control of our lives. We let the world around us take course and we can spend all way worrying about what the future may hold, but all we can do is just live. Right here, right now. And I think that's a wonderful thing, that life is worth living even though we might not have full control of it.
See ya.
