Random thoughts

Hey everyone! Here is the long-awaited (yeah right) Random Thoughts section! In it, you may find very little to do with DBZ, or everything to do with DBZ, depending on what mood I'm in. It's basically where I put down my thoughts and opinions, so you can get a look into the mind of this page's creator ((Run away while you still can!!)).Since I can either have just a random thought, or a long "rant" (though all that's in my real Rants section is stuff that makes me mad. This is just stuff to think about, and I have a tendency to talk on and on about things) about something in life, this is going to be kinda divided into two sections. But, I warn you, these are my opinions. They may completely go against what you feel, think, say, or believe. So don't read on if ya can't seperate opinions from reality/fact. I don't want to get flames for putting this page up. If I do, I'll just know whoever sends them to me is an idiot, who can't follow directions. Ok? There, now that we've got that unplesantry dealt with, read on and enjoy!

Quickies (shorter thoughts)

What do Piccolo's feet look like? For that matter, what do ANY Nameks' feet look like?

It is impossible for bumblebees to fly. It's been scientifically proven-due to their wingspan, wing speed, mass, body weight, and so forth, they are unable to get off the ground.

If matter can be neither created nor destroyed, how did something explode out of nothingness? (For this, I admit, I've a lot to learn in the area of science, so if there's some pretty words and theorums to back this up, please e-mail me on it.)

Florida is California with swamps. And more annoying weather.

Why is it that when it's said that Usagi and Chibi-Usa have the same maturity level, people think Usagi is the one being insulted, considering Chibi-Usa is 90x older than Usagi?

Sunchips are one of the most addicting foods known to man.

Cream Savers run a close second.

Cream Savers is tied with Chex Mix.

Caffeine is not addicting. It's a necessity of life, that's all.

2 + 2 = 4. Get over it.

Meaningless, meaningless! Everything is meaningless! (Ecc. 1:2)

Rants (longer thoughts)

Goku's shirt

I'm not going to take the credit for coming up with this one on my own-I've seen it in the polls before, as well as written on many websites. But it is a sound fact, and I'd like to post it up for those who haven't seen it or thought of it. Goku never starts winning any battles with the "bad guys" until part of his shirt gets blown off. He has to have some chest showing before he does any good in most battles. Does this mean his shirt is like Samson's hair, except working in the opposite way? With Samson, he had incredible strength, and nothing could bind him, until he finally spilled that if one cut his hair, he would be as weak as any ordinary person, so thus was done, and he was captured (There's actually a lot more theology to this than that, but I digress.). With Goku, he's weak and puny and gets beaten to a bloody pulp until someone rips his shirt-THEN he's powerful.

Red eyes.

This is about Sailor Moon. Chibi-Usa, actually. Sailor Chibi-Moon. I'm sorry, but I don't see what's so cute about red eyes. Red eyes are used in anime to symbolize evil. Red ki's symbolize evil. Queen Beryl had red eyes, for heaven's sake! Does this mean Chibi-Usa's evil? On top of that, where does her pink hair come from? I mean, Trunks, having purple hair, despite the color of his parents' hair, makes a bit of sense, 'cause at one point, Bulma DID have purple hair, when she was a younger kid, in the "Dragonball series" (I think). Usagi has always been a blondie, and Mamoru has always had black hair. So how did she get it? And her red eyes? Blue eyes + blue eyes = red eyes? I don't think so. The genes for blue eyes are recessive, meaning both Usagi and Mamoru have four blue eye genes between the two of them. I don't think that Usagi is really Chibi-Usa's mother. The simillarities between them are easily explained. The hairstyle? -If Chibi-Usa GREW UP in the palace under the identity of the princess, of course she would wear that hairstyle! Plus, Neo-Queen Serenity IS the "Queen of Crystal Tokyo." So her fashions would spread around. It wouldn't be a surprise to see meatballs on other people. The name? -Well, it really depends on what theory you chose of where Chibi-Usa really came from, but names are not hereditary. Babies don't come from their mother's womb with a little name tag on them. The clutziness and personality? -Chibi-Usa was either raised in the palace, in which case, of course her mother's personality would have a bit of an effect on her; Or, since Neo-Queen Serenity is supposed to be decent, and graceful, yadda yadda yadda (Chibi-Usa always talks about what a lady she is), maybe that's just who the little kid is. After all, the clutz gene doesn't only exist in Usagi.

Porportions

Ok, most all you females have probably had the experience of trying on a swimsuit, or mini skirt, or whatever, that fits your bust/hips, but is incredibly tight on your waist, or else one that is just way too big for your bust/hips, but perfect for your waist. I know this because not only have I gone through this experience myself, but also because I've seen it ranted against to death in comics, polls, message boards, e-mails, letters, TV shows...you get the picture. The proportions of many skimpy articles of clothing (skimpy including even the most modest of bathing suits, by the way. By skmipy, I mean "form-fitting" or something that just shows a good amount of skin) do not fit the majority of the female population- come on, not everybody's super-skinny, and not everybody has a big chest, or whatever. But you know what? Aren't those the people-those who do have a great body- who would WANT to show off their figure? Who (don't take offense, because the lack thereof applies to me too:) actually have something stunning to show off? (and that's not implying AT ALL if you don't have a figure like that, you're an ugly tramp, and shouldn't show it off, 'cause the "perfect barbie figure" is nearly impossible to achieve. Besides, life isn't all about looks and figures) I mean, why would people who have a pot-belly WANT to wear a bare middriff look anyway? Is it possible that the fasions of America (which is where I live, I'm not exactly sure about fashions of other countries, if that's where you're from) just don't work for some people? So here's my question. If you can't find something that fits your size without expending a ton of effort and getting very frusterated, why bother trying? I mean, not all fashions suit everyone. And if you're really unproud of your figure, why do you show it off anyway, then complain about how bad you look? Find something that suits YOU.

Cartwheels and Light bulbs.

All right. Imagine yourself without the ability to see. Ok, so it's near impossible, but work with me hear. So just pretend that you're in a pitch black room. You've been that way your whole life. So, obviously, you wouldn't know of this ability called "Sight" - it would be an experience beyond comprehension, beyond words, beyond ability to communicate - only through experiencing it can each individual see for himself - or herself - what this new sense is.

Kinda a creepy feeling, isn't it? How would we ever find out about this existence called "sight"? Why would we ever make an effort to flick on a lightswitch in this black room if we didn't know - or believe - there was such a thing as light, or sight, or what not? On our own, without somebody who knows what sight and light are, we wouldn't have much knowledge on how to best live life in a pitch black room. So we'd have to make up our own way of going through life. We want to have fun. We want to feel good.

Let's do cartwheels!

You know, maybe we'll bump into a few (sharp, pointy) objects along the way. But hey! We're feeling good. We're feeling our power as humans to do what we want, and to make the most of life. And if we all do it together...we are united! This oneness, this individuality, mixed and shouted passionately - it feels wonderful. You're a member of the human race. Your own, individual member. You are a part of the Human Spirit. You have a power that's great. So take pride - cartwheel!

Geez, I hope I didn't convince anyone with THAT arguement. If so, you're completely missing the point.

Cartwheeling - sure, sounds fun. But, um, if we can't SEE, aren't we in a bit of danger of colliding with sharp objects? Going through struggles on the way?

"But that's all a part of being human! Living life to the fullest, making mistakes on the way."

Yeah. Right. Ok. And...er, what's so "inhuman" and "dispassionate" about...turning on the light so we can actually start to go about the room in a bit more...sensible a manner?

"...This sense called "sight" does not exist."

You just don't understand it.

"...that may be your opinion. I respect that. And you also have to respect mine."

No, I don't. I respect your right to an opinion. But I can still look at you, carthweeling in the dark, feeling so proud and passionate as you crash through the room, blind, and think - what an idiotic way of doing things.
