Does Finding the Common Links Between Geniuses and Adapting to the Way of the Geniuses Make one a Genius? part 1

Introduction

In this experiment, four geniuses (Snowman, Hoomoo, Otou-san, Av***) will be analyzed. An individual (myself) will then follow these common traits or relationships between the four as closely as possible. The purpose for performing such an experiment is to find the genis(es)’ (haha) secret for the benefit of those who are…not geniuses.

A genius is is a person of great intelligence, who shows an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work (Wikipedia, 2008.) A great historical example of a genius is Albert Einstein. In 1905, Albert Einstein developed the theory of special relativity (Wilson, 2006.) He also proved the existence of atoms and developed his famous equation E = mc2 all at the age of 26 (Wilson, 2006.)

This experiment will be performed in two parts. The first part will be researching on the common links of the four geniuses. These common links can range from personality traits, and eating habits, to how they dress. The second part will focus more on the application of these common links over a long period of time. It is predicted that when all common links are met, one would acquire the thought process of a genius.

Method & Materials:
I’m too lazy to write it out…basically, find the common links, and do it.

Results: (part 1)
Common links:
-wears/wore some form of lens or apparatus to increase visibility
-does not wear pins on their tie
-hair is not tied up, and is strictly worn down
-eating is minimal
-they do not participate in any form of sports within the school
-they do not participate in symphonic band (yeah!)
-they play musical instruments regularly

That is it so far. There may be more common links, I’ll add them in the next update. However, things are going as expected seeing as I am still Asian failing my courses. I plan to prolong the time to see if time is a factor.

Arigatou otou-san~! -^-^-

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ending

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is an awesome anime. It gives a comical spin to…odd things people just never notice. For example, how people seem to pay attention to smaller details instead of the main show or main idea. I really think this show enlightens people in that sense and it is a good watch when you are bored. Though I have to warn you that…fanservice…

“Lets promote the normal girl!”

Some good parodies:

Doushite~~~?

It would seem that…right from the start of the week, things are not going well for me, doushite?
It would seem that…I have lost the waves, doushite?
It would seem that…I might have caught a cold, doushite?
It would seem that…I smell like those car air fresheners (ick), doushite?
It would seem that…my English teacher thinks I can’t draw, doushite?
It would seem that…tomorrow is CISMF and I can’t go, doushite?
It would seem that…I’m being really emo aren’t I? ^^’

Demo, when I read Yamapi’s jweb entry for today, it made me really happy ^^,
Ahh, kawaii ~>.<~

so thats how it is/i see.
is it said that in a week one can only work for 40 hours.
if its for all of you
i can/am able to work for a whole week oh (laughs)

I really need a kanji translator…
Note: Don’t answer them all otou-san T T’

Taiyou no Namida

Yeah! Taiyou no Namida LIVE! Actually…*gasp* such a good song. If they weren’t dancing, they might have been able to sing better ^^’ Yamapi <3333333 He’s looking better now ^^ Genki~!

Why bother?

Is it just me or is the world becoming more irritable?
I wonder because it has recently come to my attention that one, I am more annoyed and frustrated and two, everyone else is annoyed and frustrated. Either the world is the one acting like a baby, or I am the annoying bitch from hell. Apparently, I don’t get to decide that.

Frustration, like fire, spreads easily. However there’s always someone in the middle who is causing all of it. Though I don’t mind fire, it is not something people should use for stupid selfish reasons. Reasons such as: claiming something you are not, or declaring something about yourself that isn’t necessarily true. Maybe that’s why everyone including myself is frustrated…because of that one person.

Really, it is not too difficult to get on someone’s nerves, but understanding why seems to be an impossible for everyone.
If someone is ignoring you, it is probably because you ignored them.
If someone hates your guts, it is probably because you hated their guts before.
If someone is annoyed with you, it is probably because you were and still are annoying.
Kind of like baking a cookie, you add 3 1/4 cups of baking soda, you get a nasty cookie.

Logic is a simple thing, why do we bother questioning it?
Probably because humanity has the inability to be profound.
If people believed in apologies, why do we bother having a police system?
Probably because people take those traits for granted and use them for their personal gain.
Would people change if I posted this message?
Probably not because despite being loud, people are deaf.

Why did I even bother posting this?
Why do all my post end with a question?

My Darling, stay gold~

“What happens after…the tears fall and the shadows cover up the sky?”
“Those chains that binds us together, I want to break free from them…”
“Paid too much attention, and then I fell.”
“It’s useless to argue with an idiot…like me.”
“I’m not deaf, I just never receive the message”
“It’s a sign.”

Anyway, random quotes sorted into some sort of a poem. Use them in display picture (Avatars) or display names or messages and such ^^,

The latest Utada Hikaru song “Stay Gold” from HEART STATION, is amazing. It is really addicting. I don’t know why, but I feel very attached it. It’s really calming yet…slightly eerie. The descending line in the piano, gives it a light, yet “I’m falling” quality. Also, having the descending pattern be played detached and on repeat gives it a sense of something shining and lasting, referencing the title “Stay Gold.”
Anyway, just listen to the damn song!

Video Game Live 2008

Video Game Live I have to say was AMAZING! From the opening song to One Wing Angel…it doesn’t even compare to the youtube videos. Watching it live instead of through a computer screen made a difference. The music was so moving that I went teary when listening to them play Kingdom Hearts.

It's taken from my phone.

The hall was really foggy, but I figured it was either an affect, or there was A LOT of dust up on the ceiling. The poem at the beginning was hilarious. Using HTML RGB colour code for “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue…” was just genius. The video that came after was a laugh. It was a video with a person in a pac man costume being chased by the three different coloured monsters running around New York. The video was so funny that me and my friends plan to dress up as them next year for Halloween. Then, the orchestra begins to play the intro (retrospective.) Watching classic video games on the screen brought feelings of nostalgia. It was funny when the orchestra played the hammer theme when Mario grabbed a hammer to whack DK. Metal Gear Solid was just amazing, the music was just…I was totally speechless. It was funny when someone in a cardboard box came out and another guy came out with a gun and an exclamation mark and was running around the stage. Turned out the person in the box was Martin Leung, the piano dude. This man has insane hand control, or finger control whatever you call it. I wished he played on a grand piano like the Montreal performance. I’m not very fond of playing on keyboards during live performances in a large hall. A real piano…gives it an entirely different feel and it just sounds much better when playing pieces such as Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy. I was surprised to hear this morning that my friend was invited to go because his music was being played during the intermission, but I missed it because I was checking out the game demos and doing some…necessary business.

Two of my favourite performances was Kingdom Hearts and One Wing Angel. These two performances were also the most anticipated for me.

Kingdom Hearts: It was unfortunate that Square-Enix did not provide video footage to VGL. However, I think the music can speak for itself, and that you don’t need gameplay footage to aide the music. The music itself is powerful enough to make me tear up XD The video matched well, but I was too busy remembering all those good Kingdom Hearts memories and Roxas <333333 I should have brought him *sniffle*

One Wing Angel: This song was the song which inspired me to push for more video game music in our school (though, not much is happening.) To hear it LIVE (finally) was my dream. I was surprised that they played the advent children version but that was okay since I liked this version better compared to the original. When the choir stood up I was squealing like crazy. It was funny when the MC guy who played the guitar started head banging with the cello on the end. Overall, the piece was AMAZING! WAY BETTER THAN ON YOUTUBE!

Anyway, the concert as a whole was AWESOME. Though, we could have left out that…random Harry Potter bit. But if VGL EVER comes to a city near you, BUY TICKETS! The insane ticket price is worth it! I SWEAR!

yah~ Gundam 00 banner!

Happy Chinese New Years!

Ha, I changed the banner to be very coooool because it’s Gundam 00 and Setsuna is in it.

I’ve been watching quite a bit of anime recently. Finally caught up with Bamboo Blade and Clannad. I’m plan to catch up on Shana and Gurren neh.

Ahh~! Yamapi is a snowman…OTL

I don’t have a lot to rant about. But I will tomorrow because tomorrow is…VGL! Very excited for the awesomeness. Ha! I’ll make sure to “film” the whole thing and post it on youtube write a detailed rant.
