Fahrenheit, a Taiwanese boy band from H.I.M., has released their third album called Yue Lai Yue Ai(the direct english translation would be "To Love More and More"). It's the first time Fahenheit has sung a song expressing how much they care for someone, as said by Da Dong/Jiro Wang on a radio show, while they played Yue Lai Yue Ai. They've also recieved new hair styles from H.I.M. due to the release of their new album.

Article: Music That Makes You Dumb

at http://beatcrave.com/2009-03-03/music-that-makes-you-dumb/ it's wrong. It doesn't matter what type
of music you enjoy. The type of music one favors does not determine ones IQ or how well one can do on the SATs.
A person can be able to love Lil Wayne's music(although I personally don't), and be able to get a high score on the
SATs. Besides, my favorite type of music(which is modern Asian) isn't even mentioned in the picture or article. Either
way, I just wanted to get it straight. Don't start trying to like Classical music due to what you've seen online. If you
don't like it(such as I don't), there is no need to listen to what doesn't interest you. Just study hard, do your home-
work, and don't disrespect the teachers. You will do fine even if you listen to such indecent music such as Lil Wayne,
although personally I disapprove strongly of what he's teaching. Stop listening to such disgusting music if you can.
Remember, don't be influenced by what the words in his songs tell you to do. If you're influenced, then I suppose
that there really is a reason why people who listen to Lil Wayne become dumb. Anyways, my point is, SAT scores
are NOT RELATED TO ANY TYPE of music whatsoever.

Facebook is Asian, Myspace is Hispanic

That's what I've been noticing lately. Mostly of my friends(asians) are on Facebook and almost all of them don't have a Myspace. Either they don't have one, or quit Myspace for Facebook. I wonder how Facebook became so Asian... I use it since almost all my friends are Asian and use it. To me, I think it's more organized and with apps, it's more interesting and high tech too. I used to use Myspace, but then quit mine for Facebook. Most Hispanics I know say "Facebook sucks. Myspace is better." So most of them don't have Facebook. They're all on Myspace. Hmm, so how'd we get so separated? By race, like school? I don't know, but I found it to be an interesting topic.

Policemen are DENSE!

"It's passed my working hours. It's not all about you! I have a family to get home to!"
I just don't get it. Why would a policeman yell at some little kid like that? Doesn't he know that kid is scared, or is that person to irritated to even care?
"Have you ever been to a Child Protection Center? Cause that's where you're about to go," he threatened. That kid wasn't scared of going there-Not again, but why would a policeman threaten this kid? "It's passed my working hours. It's not all about you. I have a family to get home to," he said irritated. So what? Why are you not doing your job properly? Why are you so desperate to get home instead of TRYING TO learn the truth? Do you think you know everything? Do you think everyone should listen to you just because you have authority over us? You have power? I don't think so. Why don't you want to help people? Why did you even become a policeman if you all don't really care? You're not helping, but scaring that little kid and most of them at the Child Protection HATE POLICEMEN. "I wouldn't tell them I hate them since I'm scared,," one girl said there. "I wish I could kill my family and all the policemen," another one said. So why are you threatening these kids to obey you? These kids who will despise you to their deaths? Making them leave everything they know...For nothing. Can you at least try to reason with them? Try to get your point of view out, and listen to theirs? Why did you pull her arm forcefully while trying to get her away from her home? Can you see she's scared? Can't you see she's where she belongs? Why can't you talk more to those kids and reason with them? You police people are creating hatred out of these innocent kids. It's not their fault they are caught in such a situation and are stubborn to get their opinions out. You should listen to them. Listen to what they have to say, at least. Why do police become police? Wasn't your original goal to HELP others? Or are a kids personal life to small for you to care about? Do you want fame from being a police officer? Our problems are big enough for you to take into consideration? That's sure how it seems. You brag. And you can keep on bragging about your accomplishments, but we will never care. You don't mean anything at all to those who've seen your true faces. You only seem to help society, but why? "Why" is the real question. Your first goals of becoming policemen were accurate, but what happened?  Do you know how awfully you've hurt kids in the Child Protection Center? They won't tell you, of course, but... Where's your common sense? Why won't you understand the truths? You only think kids are "so small they don't understand. They are confused." 
NO! What if they're not? What if it's YOU who are confused? Why? Why don't you ever wonder? Are you so full of yourself that you don't think you can misunderstand us? You lost yourself in between all that power you were given when you finally got your police badge. You lost sight of what is really important. You lost sight of your original goal. You lost sight of righteousness-Good and bad. What is it? Do you know anymore? Why? Why? Why?
Why are policemen so dense?

Kira Is Justice


I think so, at least. Kira/Light Yagami from Death Note is correct that people who are evil are better off not existing in out world. I was so-
SPOILER!
Was so dissapointed when He died in the end. He definitly deserves to live, that way he can make a new world of good.
-END OF SPOILER-
L is not bad, but he is to merciful. Kira IS NOT God, but I like how he pases judgement on others. His choices are fair and make perfect sense to me. Seriously, if I got a Death Note(if those could exist), I would try to help make a better world along side Kira. It doesn't matter of the fact the name "Kira" comes from the word "kill," as it says in the manga. So what? He kills the bad people who deserve it, never the good people.
What I wonder is, whose side is the author of the book on? Does the author support Kira or L? Was he doing this manga out of boredom completely and doesn't care, or does he have strong opinions about life and death? These questions have been running through my mind recently trying to figure out how the author thinks. The end dissapointed me a lot though...I also want to make a better world, but I don't have that kind of power. Even though the shinigami Ryuk said people who use the Death Note can neither go to heaven or hell, that was only in the book. In real life, I'm sure God would be fine with letting people w/the Death Note go to heaven as long as they're doing right like Kira did. Also, I think it is acceptable to kill those who try to stop Kira from making a new world-a new world where justice reigns. A new world where good people no longer need to fear those that do wrong. A new world...Where we are ALL FREE from torture.

Epik High Concert in SF: DATE CHANGED!


Ok, so originally the month of the SF concert was in April(next month), but my friend Karen just told me that it they changed it. They added more places to their schedule, so they're coming to SF in Mid-May instead of April(next month). Evidence comes from twitter.com. Just type in "mapthesoul," or check out their youtube account. No other info has been given out as to where in SF, and how much the tickets are. Btw, I told Cecily on Sun. but doesn't seem like she'll be going. She like Tablo the most from Epik High too. I'm planning to go with my friend Connie(hopefully). I went to the Jonas Brothers concert w/her too(and Anna). Anyways, hopefully more info will be released! And my poll(right side of blog) is wrong. It's in mid-May, haha...But I can't change it since someone's already voted, but just to make it clear, THE EPIK HIGH CONCERT IS NOW IN MID-MAY. NOT APRIL ANYMORE!
