THE SUB/DUB WARS CONTINUE!!!

I hope all these inflated ego'ed sub people would settle down.
I can't say the same for dubs because this fansite has dub lovers who seem to be scared to speak.
Anime isn't "better" subbed. Things are ALWAYS lost in the translation and all of us native English speakers [who only know snippets of Japanese] can't possibly get all the jokes/puns of the Japanese language. Best example, Azumanga Daioh. So many of the jokes in it were just plain pointless in English and had to be explained in extra subs what the joke was referring to. This is also seen in last ep of Guardian Hearts. (shrug) Convert that via ad-libbed dub and you may find yourself actually laughing [if the VA was smart/innovative like ADV people ^_^]
I don't need to say anything toward dub lovers since we don't necessarily run around NEARLY as much yelling "dubs r0x0rs".
But for ALL of you who like dubs, you should pat yourself on the back if you've been buying domestic dubs since VHS and continue to like the dub. Without you, who are the majority of America's Anime Fanbase, we wouldn't have domestic anime. ^_^ -

I go back and look at my opinions for my vids, which I recieve on a decent basis...
All of them seem to gun for my older series vids... [no biggie really]
though I'm still in a depressed mood, I discovered something...
I feel better after watching any of my Feel the Rhythm vids... (it makes me wonder, do other people who are depressed/upset react this way to amvs as well?)
hmm, I wonder, I should post in the forums... -

Got rear ended recently by a dumbass who doesn't know that you SHOULD SLOW DOWN DRIVING CARS IN SNOW...
I got my dsl bill a few days ago and discovered they charged me through the skull thinking I was a new customer [$20 more is a bitch] and POW, I call them up and they kiss my ass [good thing too]
Still, that's not all the bad shit happening to me...
I'm editing for a special project and KA POW, it turns out to be total shit...
Though my colleague isn't willing to admit it, his section soo dwarfs over mine both in execution and style...
My best inspirations came from Feel the Rhythm and what's done of Soothing Symphonic
the rest of my editing life was sheer and utter gravy...
For those VERY few of you who actually monitor this journal, this may/may not be my last entry, I may just very will fucking kill myself... -
It's raining shit everywhere around me...

My life can't get any better baby...
This has been the "best" New Year I've ever had...
Jan. 2, I get booted from my main college. I go to community now...
Jan. 15, I get my Wisdom Teeth torn from mah jaw
Jan. 19, I miss the deadline for registering for one of my college classes due to incompetence on they're computer's part
Jan. 20, my Credit Card is rejected [good thing I got two]
Now, I discover in my email [which I'll now check every day] that I missed the deadline for correctin' ONE FUCKING AMV [which was never released] and I've just been booted from the VCA ;_;
Only a criminal mastermind, or God, could do something THIS BAD to me...
But until I get further evidence that God COULD do this, I'll assume the world instead is against me...
But even when everything is in the dumps, I learned one thing in martial arts training: according to philosophy in the art of war, "To rise again after each defeat is to rise victorious..."
Until God Himself strikes me down [now I get a feeling he will just to shut me up]
I'll always remain the optomist with the fool's hope. They're the only people in the world who can become millionares after all...
