Just when I thought I should kill myself, Banksy and Dangermouse team up and shop drop 500 fake versions of Paris Hilton's album. It's a 40 minute loop of her saying "That's Hot" over a bass loop from one of her songs. There are quotes of her being a total idiot interspersed. |

The Rome Ants's drummer had officially quit. He said he's not allowed to take his drumset out of his house, and that we're not allowed to go into his house. Nice logic there on the part of him and his parents. He's forming a new band that apparently will never practice or do any shows. I was kinda excited about him being in the band too, because he was always very excited and eager to beat out some new ideas.
We have 2 people in mind already, and countless others have spoken to me about it. We should be back on the map in no time, but I'm not too sure about the name now, because I'm becoming a total indie fag. Maybe something like "In the center" or "i62" or maybe "i walked 40 miles."
Hope he has luck with his lack of a label, lack of a studio, lack of someone to mix and master, and lack of equipment, because I'm the only person I know that can handle any of those without going up to big label masters and losing your soul to a contract. I try my best to do all of my stuff myself.
I hope he falls off of a cliff and dies. |

Materialism sucks.
Today my friend got his iPod stolen. This is where example one of needless materialism comes in. The fucking girl that stole it is a fucking asshole, and dumber than a rock at that.
He got really, really upset. Like, way more than any person should be upset about a material posession. Example 2 of materialism.
His parents were going to ground him for months if he didn't find it. Example 3 of materialism. This is especially absurd because their son didnj't do anything to lose it, it got stolen. It also isn't their property, so they have no reason to be angry in the first place.
Materialism sucks. End.
Topic 2: Music
Zymotic is on temporary hiatus, while I work on more organic work. I'm currently with a band called The Rome Ants. I'm recording a lot of hardcore and acoustic pieces and don't want them to mix with the electronic aura of Zymotic. We're all multi-talented, so we're going to rotate our roles in every song. I can cover guitar, backing vocals, and mixing. I can also play base, dispite not owning one.
AND MY CONVERGE CD CAME IN TODAY! |

Edmonton Journal scales new heights of cluelessness on lolicon story
Okay, some time ago I reported on the arrest of a man in Edmonton for attempting to import what would be best described as hard-core lolicon manga (details below). Now, it's being reported (Anime News Network article, Edmonton Sun article) that he's received an 18-month conditional sentence, community service, and a fine.
It sounds at first like a very light sentence - he probably won't spend any time behind bars, the fine is just $150, and so on - and that's certain to enrage the anti-free-expression crusaders. Part of the reason given for the sentence was that no actual children were harmed in the creation of the material he was trying to import, and it wasn't even realistic "virtual" child pornography; we're talking about cartoons here. However, it only sounds light until you realise that this is still a conviction for child pornography. He's going in the DNA databank, he's a registered sex offender, and his life is ruined. He'll never be able to live in a neighbourhood where people care about this kind of thing; the stigma is permanent even if the official record eventually gets expunged, and you bet the public doesn't care whether it was Astro-Boy or Holly Jones. But! That's not even what I'm writing about here, because the Edmonton Journal's cluelessness is arguably an even bigger story.
First, the story of the original arrest: I saw it on Anime News Network when it broke, but didn't want to link it until I could find the original Edmonton Journal article. A third party posted scans from hardcopy in a Web BBS, and I mirrored it here; I asked people to link my commentary whenever they linked the mirror; they didn't; so there's now a referrer-block on that mirror and you must view it from my commentary page. The original posting subsequently disappeared, as did the Edmonton Sun coverage (which moved into a pay-only archive before I had a chance to grab a copy).
It appears that what actually happened was that this man attempted to import from Japan what would most correctly be described as hard-core lolicon manga - that is, fictional graphic novels including drawings of children in sexual poses and activity. Such material is illegal to possess under the Canadian child pornography law, even if no real children participated in its creation.
The original Journal article refers to the material incorrectly as "anime" (which properly means Japanese animation of any description, very little of which is ever pornographic) and "Hentae" (caps theirs, misspelling of "hentai", which has a broader meaning in Japanese but in the context of North American anime and manga fandom is used to describe explicitly pornographic material - still usually only involving pictures of adults, and usually legal to possess in Canada). The Sun (in their article, now unavailable) went a step further by phrasing their article to make it sound like not only was this material anime, but all anime is child pornography.
My comments from that time (now less relevant):
There's some interesting commentary in the ANN message-board discussion. Note that the person who posted an interpretation of the exceptions in Canadian child-pornography law was not technically incorrect, but was quite misleading, because they were talking about the exceptions made by the Supreme Court in R. v. Sharpe and mistakenly left the impression that child pornography is generally legal here. It isn't. I'd also like to comment on something else said there about Canada, which was that unlike the US and various other unspecified places, we have a huge problem of child pornography involving real children, real children being abducted for sexual abuse, and so on. We don't.
That problem is virtually non-existent and exists almost entirely in the minds of the Conservative Party and their supporters. Maybe we have a huge problem of a perception of child pornography involving real children being common; but active pedophilia is a very rare mental illness, in Canada and everywhere else. We have had a few horrible and widely publicized cases of child abuse by pedophiles, and of course, any case of pedophilia that results in persons being harmed is one case too many, but the publicly-known cases were so upsetting partly because they were so far outside the normal experience. Go read On Kiddie Porn by Persky and Dixon; they cite plenty of documentation on where the public perception of a huge pedophilia problem in Canada actually came from, and how the public perception compares with the reality. Also worth reading would be the Wikipedia article on moral panics, and others linked from there.
The stats on "child abductions" don't usually mention that almost all the abductions counted are committed by parents who lost court battles over custody, without any sexual abuse involved. Once you know that, the numbers have a very different significance, and suggest that although legal reforms may be in order, we should be worried more about custody law than about child pornography.
Now, on the sentencing, skipping ahead to the present time: Here's the Edmonton Journal article. They write: "Gordon Chin pleaded guilty in provincial court today to importing thousands of pages of a Japanese cartoon called Anime[.]" - implication being that Anime is the title of one specific "cartoon", like The Simpsons or Tom and Jerry. That's silly, but hardly a big deal. For comparison, see the Edmonton Sun article; they seem to have done a pretty good job this time.
That quote is silly enough that anyone with nonzero knowledge of anime would discount it. But a few paragraphs later, at the end of the article, the Journal writes: "Anime is illegal in Canada but not illegal in Japan and the United States. Defence lawyer D候arcy Depoe said Chin didn候t know the cartoon was illegal here." (Or at least that's how it appears on my screen because of their broken character set.)
Now, we have a problem. "Anime is illegal in Canada[.]" is a memorable sound bite that readers will think of in the future even when they don't recall the rest of this article. That's no longer humorous cluelessness. That's something that endangers me (as an officer and prominent member of one of the largest anime clubs in North America); and it endangers businesses like Gemini Jetpack here in K-W, which sells and rents anime DVDs as its main line of trade - with a policy of not carrying any pornographic (let alone illegal) titles; and it endangers anyone else who associates themselves with "anime". Now we're all dangerous paedophiles.
Kids, "anime" is the Japanese word for "animation". That's all it is. The Simpsons, most of Disney's output, even computer-animated stuff from Pixar - it's all "anime", at least when you're speaking Japanese. In English the word usually refers to animation from Japan in particular, but even then, contrary to rumour they're not all incorrigible perverts over there and most anime is innocuous entertainment for, not exploitive of, children. There is such a thing as pornographic anime, but that's a pretty small percentage - and almost all of it consists of pictures of adults because, you know what? Pictures of adults is what most people who watch pornography (whether it's live-action or animated) actually want to see! Within pornographic anime, there's such a thing as animated child pornography; but that's a pretty small percentage of the small percentage that is pornographic at all. Saying "anime equals child pornography" is like saying "movies equals snuff movies". In a country where anime and movies are important industries - as they are here in Canada, even just the import business is significant - this kind of mistake is not good for a newspaper to make.
Anime News Network is running an editorial urging people to write to the Edmonton Journal to inform them of the error. I'd really like to see this become big news. The anime fan community has plenty of other problems right now without some idiot declaring us all to be child pornographers. For instance, we've got to deal with the fansub copyright can of worms. We've also got to accept that a vanishingly small percentage of us actually are pedophiles who may (depending on your religious beliefs) be either gratifying their desires and avoiding exploitation of real children, by looking at pictures of imaginary ones, or else inflaming their desires and increasing their risk of raping real children with those same pictures; and we've got to somehow convey some sanity to the world on this whole works of the imagination/freedom of expression business, about which you already know my feelings.
UPDATE: The Edmonton Journal has posted a new article with the worst of the errors corrected, although it still uses the word "anime" to refer to manga. I've had to update this posting four or five times in the last two hours. It's obviously a fast-developing situation. Even if they make the old, more clueless article disappear, I don't think they should be let off the hook; it's a big problem for that kind of thing to make it through the filters and get published at all.
FURTHER UPDATE: The Journal has posted a "clarification", which reads in its entirety:
A story Thursday may have left the impression the word "anime" refers to animated pornography or to a specific example of cartoon pornography. In fact, anime is a style of cartoon that originated and remains popular in Japan.
I don't think that's good enough, because it doesn't deny the most important and injurious false statements in the article. The article in question has now been replaced by a message reading "For copyright reasons we are unable to display this article at this time" - which is an interesting way of describing the situation. |

I changed some graphics and set up on my LJ page. The little doodles on the side are subject to change at any time, tu le monde.
For those not in the know:
Ca Va: is "how are you?" You also say it when you state how you feel. "Ca va mal" for instance.
Ecouter: French for "listen."
Now:
SCHOOL
I have to write two poems for English class, and they have to be "good" poems. I have some ideas, and I scribbled one down in English class, but I definitely can make it better. I'm going to title them "dommage" ("too bad") and "vrai" ("truth"). They are both going to suck.
I now sit in front of my only enemy in math class. It's kinda awkward, but I've been pretending that he's nonexistant for about two months now, though occasionally he sits down at the same table as I do and I have to declare that there's a peculiar lack of perspicasity at the table, then make my leave.
Music
I've written an assload of new material and show some people. I think it's fairly decent, and that I've hit another inspirational period. I'm also playing my guitar and ocarina more often.
Love
I'm in some of it. |

I am doing so much better with all of my music for the first time in a long time. VAMPY and my reuniting with Kiersten in Cincinnati have spawned creativity and emotion in my mind. All of my deepest feelings are spilling out wherever they can. Painting, drawing, photoshop, photography, music, literature.
KIERSTEN
I am so helplessly in love that it's crazy. My feelings are truely indescribable.
LIFE BEYOND
I'm listening to a wide spectrum of music, and entirely enjoying my Fall Break. Been to the mall twice. Definitely having friends over tomorrow, and the ideas for a Halloween party are starting to form. I've decided on my costume and everything, and am planning out decoractions. |

News on the three fronts of my life:
ZYMOTIC
Everything is going along spectacularly. I've written lots of songs and done a lot of artwork. Zymotic.net is back up, and so is the forums. There's a designer interested in helping out my web layout and an artist that wants to do my artwork.
KIERSTEN
I'm encompassed by love for her but shadowed by her unwant of it.
LIFE
Life is doing better than love but worse than passion. I'm doing lots of stuff with my friends and acing lots of my classes. Nathan hates his life now, because he and his girl are on a fine line between love and hate and he severed all of the ties he had made with his friends.
More later. Just updating now because I remembered to. |

Wow, lots to catch up on. I'm doing great in French class. Algebra II is easy, Econ and Gov. is still the most boring thing ever. English is OK, but it moves kind of slow for an advanced class. 37 Butts on the Hour.
Now, my imaginary audience, there is a certain N-word Stalions that I am acquainted with that has ODD. He got a "girlfriend" (my ex-girlfriend from awhile back) and no longer wants anything to do with us. He said that my friends and I were "gay" because we hang out together on the weekends and invite him to go to "gay" places like Terre Haute for the weekend to see a concert or to LBL for 4 days for some fun. Notice some key problems with this?
-He's dating my ex-girlfriend. We almost got back together before I left for camp. I have every right to beat the shit out of him.
-These friends that he called "gay." They're his ONLY friends. There are 5 of us, and he has completely betrayed us. Now he sits with the kids he made fun of 2 weeks ago for not having any friends. We don't feel bad for him, because it's karma.
-We did all kinds of shit for him, and got him out of all kinds of trouble. I gave him free music, fresh off of my CD Burner that he would never find, otherwise. And I'm an ass about my E:// drive. My family and I have taken him places when he would've just sat at home otherwise.
I hope he wasn't trying to get under our, originally just my, skins. It hasn't worked. We started hanging out with one of our more distant friends, who's a lot more mellow, and it works out just fine. Our replacement friend worked his way into our hearts much quicker than our old friend did. Now he's officially park of our pack of 5.
He'll get tired of it eventually, and his girl will break up with him. He'll grow up and realize that he's a total asshole, like my roommate at camp did. Only, I forgave my roommate. For any of your imaginary audience members that I might have made feel sorry for him- don't worry. He'll right an All-E-String Powerchord emo song about it, and then it will roll right off of his shoulders. He's shallow like that.
I don't know what it's like to be repugnant, but I hope it works out for him. |

| [ | The New Pollution |
| | The Cure - Lost | ] |
Wow, this is ever so sudden.
One of my friends refuses to talk to me. He won't pick up the phone, and he blocked me as soon as I Imed him on MSN. I don't know a lot about what the hell is going on, but I know these things:
-He's directing shallow frustration at me (I wouldn't dare call teen angst such a word as "anger")
-He's been spreading some sort of rumor to my friends.
-He tried to get my friends to ditch me tomorrow.
-My friend said something about...math class?
-He has terrible ODD that he needs checked out.
-He's thinks I'm embarrasing because I don't try to "fit in."
-All of this happened BEHIND. MY. FUCKING. BACK.
I'm not angry that he's "mad" with me. I'm angry because he won't talk to me. I am not a hard to cope with person. He could chew me out, for all that I care. It'd roll right off of my shoulders. But I would NEVER talk behind my friend's back, or try to inforce my anger on other people. Like mom always said, "If you're going to spit on someone, spit in their face."
This either happened because he brought up tubgirl in math, or the day when I told him that I couldn't be friends with a System of a Down fan (which is mostly true). I think the tubgirl situation needs more explaining.
We were in math class, as I have said 3 times now. He sits behind a senior named Amanda that he totally wants to bone. We were working in groups, and discussed something, when he said "like tubgirl." Then one of the girls demanded to know what tubgirl was. Sadly, one of my other friends told her. Then I said "lol n00b uve never herd of tubgirl." I seriously thought EVERYONE knew about tubgirl, even if they've never seen it (I haven't).
She went around and asked people who tubgirl was. When they said no, and asked why, she gave a brief desciption and said that it was because I told her to.
Way to fucking go, you fucking blonde.
So now my friend "hates" me because I "brought up tubgirl in math class." When, as I said before, he brought it up. Fucking dumbasses, all of them.
My friend really does have ODD. He gets too angry, too quickly, too often. He has a hard time dealing with parents and teachers. Often violent. Offten resentful. Often blames others. It's not the worst case in the world, but I am certain that it will turn into APD if he continues to keep it up.
I don't even feel bad for myself. My best friend's bday is on Monday, and we're both very good friends with him. It's a shame that he's depressed because ODD-kid is picking a fight with me. It's not fucking fair to him. He has very mild depression.
Now that I've poured that out, let me try fixing what I did last week:
Econ and Gov
English 1E
French I
Algebra II
2nd Semester:
Intergrated Science
Visual/Performance Art (FUCK. YES)

General Science (BAH)

That's ok. We have 18 weeks to figure that one out.
The best class so much is French. Algebra II was boring, Econ is boring by default, no matter who's teaching it, English was OK, but it wasn't nearly as fun as French class was. It was so weird not being able to understand a word out of what the guy said. It was fun, though. The only time he spoke in english was when about half the calss said that none of them had ever seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (either version). Poor sheltered kids.

You know those electric orbs that you touch and make your hair stand up because of the static electricity? My friends broke mine. I've kept a tab on how much of my money that they're costing me.
Amp: $15
Amp Cord: $10
Trampoline/Net: $300
Orb: $20
Total: $355
This doesn't happen at all at their houses. So, I'm not going to allow them to come back until I get the money. I need some cash to get most of the stuff that I want, since my parents don't pay for it.
I am so fucking pissed right now. This is the last straw. i could handle the other things, but they didn't even tell me that this had happened (it was probably when I was sleeping) and they tried to cover it up. It obviously didn't work. I think that the person who did it is at a funeral right now, though, so I can't bitch at him.

I'm not depressed in a bad way. Iris is the last song at camp, and a lot of us are emotionally attached to it. I know I cry almost every time I hear it. I had to pause when I was listening to it and writing this, because my eyes swelled up with tears. You have no idea how emotionally attached it is possible to get attached to a place until you go to the Verbally and Mathematically Precocious Youth Camp at Kestern Kentucky University.
Anyway, it appears that two or three very eventful things will be happening in my life in the next week.
I will be getting ready for school. Big whoop.
I will be sleeping in my barn with two of my friends. This will be fun. We cleaned out a big room in it, and it's pretty nice. We haven't gotten electricity in it yet, but we will. We might have to use extension cords in the mean time.
I will be performing downtown, hopefully. I am going to restring my friend's left-handed acoustic and sit down on the street somewhere with a bucket or hat to put money in, and start playing. Easy and free way to make money and exibit my skills. It'll be great.
I'm getting my art printed somewhere professionally. It will probably look much nicer on my CD when I do. Great.
Sooo...

People keep making me angry. It started about last night when everyone I asked about my album art said that it sucks and that no one will ever take my music seriously with such shitty artwork.
Then I posted about Celldweller, and even the people on the forums that said that they like Klay said that he sucks balls and it ugly. Fine, fuck them, Klay doesn't need snobbish fans, anyway.
Then I made a 7 minute video of something me and my friends did out of boredom (Shit Stew). It was completely set to music and had titles on it and everything. We were going to go to the mall today and I was going to give them copies, then the mom that was taking us backed out at 5:30 this morning. I woke up at 8:30 to get ready, and they never showed up. I was really pissed off. |

You're the dimple in my cheeks that I can't spit out,
you're the smile in my eyes that I can't cry out...
Camp was amazing this summer. It was as good as last year and then some. I even fell in love with a girl. Like, as far as I'm concerned, real love. Not the shallow "I get an erection from her boobs," type of lust-love.
Her roomate even talked to me, alone, at lunch and said that she had called up her boyfriend on the phone and broke up with him because she had "feelings" for someone else, and that was me. This all happened for about a week and a half. Then she decided that she didn't like me "that way". This sucked a lot, because I did (and still do). I was heart-broken, basically, but I definately didn't try to show it. She ended up taking my roommate to the final dance (I think it was pity. He's a loner). She still wants to be friends with me, though. That's decent enough. We didn't break up on angry terms.
She expected me to be a lot more angry than sad. She offered to let me punch her. I had to explain to her that I rarely get the urge to punch anyone, and I couldn't wrap my head around the concept of punching someone who I love.
Let's look at this situation from a psychological standpoint:
Behaviorist:
I have been conditioned to feel sad when someone that I love says that they don't love me back, through influence of TV, Internet, Books, etc. It's irrational to be as sad as I am, since we can still be close friends, and that's as far as we would ever get at out age, anyway.
Psychoanalytical:
My Id and ego are overpowering my superego and I come off as a selfish asshole. It might be that I may, unconsciously, act more like a "man" around people when she was watching or maybe I actually acted a bit horny, involuntarily.
Humanist:
She dumped me because, according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, she felt insecure about the relationship and could not focus on love without a sense of protection.
I noticed that my roommate was definitely acting more violent around her (not to her, just around her). He almost got into a fight with me one time, without any violent stimuli from me.
Oh well, that's life. Sucks that I'm literally the smartest person my age in the 5-6 county area, and that not even my closest friends can hold a conversation or debate with me. I get out of here 3 weeks a year and that's where my real friends and real love is. Dammit. |
