There is no such thing as a selfless act.

If you want to believe that you’re a selfless person, I am here to inform you that you are completely wrong. If that upsets you, you’re not visiting the right website, go here if you can’t handle being told you’re not as perfect of a human being as you believe you are. Otherwise, hear me out.

This is the official blog of Morbid Optimism. This blog is about nothing, officially.

My assumption is that this is going to be full of random rants and idiocy; however, we all love that every once in a while.

Read on, my friends, read on.

I should have been to bed a long time ago. I actually don’t have the slightest idea while I’m still awake at this point, but I have such a hard time sleeping sometimes. I was thinking about playing some video games; however, I don’t want to wake anyone up. That eventually led me to reading. I knocked out a few pages and came to the realization that I wasn’t absorbing any of the words, just recognizing them…

So, here I am, it’s four o’clock in the morning and it’s starting to get light.

By the way, I just quoted one of the best trance songs of all time, if you haven’t heard it, it’s called 4 o’clock in the morning (Imagine that).

I suppose I’ll lay in my bed now and stare at the ceiling.

Good morning, everyone.

There is a show out there in Japanland called Downtown and there is a bit that they do called Silent Library. You need to check this shyte out, now. You will thank me later:

Silent Library

Other than that, nothing too exciting to report. My constant efforts toward playing guitar are starting to dwindle and I feel like I won’t be able to progress past where I’m at now. Maybe I should give up my attempt at never learning another band’s music and actually work it that way; I’m definitely not going to come up with anything else worth playing anytime soon.

Until next time,

I’m totally going to get sued for tonight’s post, but I can’t let this go on any longer.

Let me begin by explaining what ‘cosplay’ is for those of you who don’t know; cosplay is a conjunction of the words ‘costume’ and ‘play.’ Fanboys and fangirls dress up like their favorite characters and go to conventions and show of the awesomeness of how much they look like their fantasy counterparts (be it video games, anime, manga, movies, etc.).

I’m here to say that this should be banned in America, my reasons for this statement follow.

This post is in response to the people whining about how the Japanese cosplayers are professionals and the Americans are just people trying to have a good time.

These are the best American Cosplayers (at least as far as compititions and popularity go):

Either out of divine inspiration or severe boredom, I decided to finally change the look of morbid optimism to something a little more pleasing. I should probably be working on other stuff at the moment but I’ve been so sick of my last template, for so long, that I had to change it up.

Anyway, on to the more bloggy stuffs, I’m going to focus on shitty medical problems I’m dealing with at the moment:
I’ve got some kind of silent migraine right now and they always piss me off. I go about 40% blind most of the time but luckily my vision has allowed me to still see what I’m trying to focus on (for the time being). I’ve gone to doctors multiple times about it but they never really do anything to help. I’m really just hoping that it’s not a detaching retina.

Next up on the list o’ med: My ankle. My ankle has some sort of soft tissue damage and it’s fairly painful to walk or run or, well, live my life the way I like to live. My doc wants me to stay off of it for a good 6 more weeks, and I’m sure he’s going to end up extending that time even further. He gave me some damn orthopedic support to put in my shoes and they’re made of fucking cork board. Yes, they hurt like a bitch (but they make me a good inch and a half taller, so joy).

That’s about it for the med stuffs at the moment. Sorry this wasn’t a very entertaining post today, I’m working on a few articles that should be good enough to make more people on the internet hate me.

*sigh*

Okay, I know I already posted once today, but I have a WTF award to hand out.

I was browsing google and came across the most WTFly fantastic site I’ve seen in a long time:

Click Here to see what I’m talking about.

Seems my blog is starting to be all about cosplaying and masquerading. I really don’t care either way about that stuff, but the things I come across online (in ref. to cosplay and masquerading) are so gleefully entertaining I can’t help to share the wealth.

Later gators!

I’ve noticed an increasing use of the word ‘bigot’ lately and, frankly, it’s starting to piss me off. It’s almost as if those throwing around such a powerful word don’t even know the meaning of it. Referring to someone as a bigot can crush their world if the term is used in politics. Behind the mask of anonymity, receiving the insult of ‘bigot’ isn’t quite as hurtful or reputation crushing but it is still a brash term to use.

Let’s take a look at the definition of the word bigot:

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - bigot:

-noun: a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

American Heritage Dictionary - big·ot n. One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

The use of the word that I hear now-a-days generally portrays he who is called the bigot as a racist. The person may or may not be a racist but that doesn’t change the fact that instead of calling them what they truly are (a racist), they were called what they are by proxy (a bigot). Let me dumb that down for some of you; All racists are bigots but not all bigots are racists. Get it?

On that note, I am, by no means, a bigot or a racist. I am tolerant of idiots (hence I approve every comment that isn’t a damn porn bot or advertisement) and I’m just not a racist, so you bigoted morons need to shut the fuck up.

Have a great day.
