I lifted my head from the water and Sajoki pulled me under. Blood flew out from the wound in her chest that I had given her. A wound that I regretted giving her and was happy that I would die because I had given it to her. Suddenly I was flying through the stars and the vaporous form of a giant snake could be seen.
"Come home, my creation, I own you. You come when I call." The voice of Hijunaki told me and I tried to fly away. Shifting to different forms the realization that it was useless came to me. I cried out and my form meshed with Hijunaki. I woke up.
The Calling of Hijunaki was telling me to go to a certain place, but I didn't want to go. Why should I go? My love Sajoki was dead and I had killed her. But she had also wrenched my heart out of my chest and betrayed me to Tamui. I hadn't seen her betrayal coming and had been, instead, caught up in my love of her. I still was, partially. Why should I live and why should Hijunaki trust me? Spreading my wings, I thought of plummeting to the ground and ending it all here and now.
That would be useless, though. I had been spending months trying to kill myself and nothing had happened. Well, I would injure myself and wake up in relatively good condition. Killing an obake was hard to do, even for an obake. The first suicide I had attempted I had been too afraid of and stopped at the last moment.
As soon as the sun rose, I hunted. Being an eagle was fun and it felt so good to kill a rabbit. After eating I continued to be pulled towards Hijunaki. I flew to my right and suddenly was flying to my left. What was going on? Why couldn't Hijunaki just let me go to die?
But, no, he couldn't let me die because he had created me and so must feel like he owned me. I was my own person and he would learn that one day. Maybe not today, but someday. Shifting into a human I landed on the ground and let the rain wash over me.
The rain hid my tears and I realized I couldn't stay running forever from my emotions and Hijunaki's Calling. But I could go to Hijunaki later and just stay here for awhile longer. A few hours later I felt the Calling of Hijunaki even louder than before.
As the last raindrop fell I sighed. If I wanted peace I'd have to go to Hijunaki now to get rid of the pounding in my head. Shifting into a raven my mind became fully focused on Hijunaki's Calling. Hours went by and I did not feel anything but joy at getting closer.
After two days of flying, I landed by Hijunaki. He looked down at me, annoyed. Blackness enveloped me as exhaustion caught up to me.

Happy Judgment Day (2011)
According to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, it's Judgment Day at 5PM tonight! Well...at least according to a fan it's at 5PM. Could be sooner.
So what will I be doing until the end of the world happens? I'll have invited a bunch of friends over and we'll drink and watch Terminator movies. Well...at least T2 and T4. Close to 5PM we'll try to find a place that's safe from the blast or at least we could survive.
Just kidding, I'll probably die alone in the blast. But, if I survive, I will join the Resistance. Hell, I might even meet up with Derek Reese! Need to practice some more for that meeting...

Tiger Mom and the Real World
Childhood being carefree is a relatively new thing. However, I do agree that everyone needs the chance to have some years dedicated to living without care and enjoying the world in innocent bliss. But that is not the thought of Tiger Moms.
Amy Chau popularized the term and it means a Mom that pushes her child to be the best academically. These Moms are very strict and don't really allow their children a childhood in the modern sense of the word.
I do believe children need to be educated, but there are some things more important than school. School/College/Grad School/ect. will only last for a certain amount of time and then you'll need to go out in the real world.
There is a vast difference between what you learn in school and what you see in the real world. I can tell you that you won't impress a date by saying how much education you have. No, you need people skills. You need to know how to communicate and not just to a roomful of professors.
So teach your kids to be good in school but allow them a childhood that's carefree and will allow them to connect to the rest of the world.

420: Celebrating Pot
420 means pot and tomorrow is Marijuana Day. So I figured that I'd talk about pot aka Mary Jane aka Marijuana.
Now I don't smoke pot at all, but I don't mind those who do. I've seen some people who smoke pot and they are very well adjusted. In fact, they can hold jobs and have relationships. This idea that Marijuana somehow is the cause for people being stupid is just wrong.
I find it funny, though, that people consider celebrating pot. I could understand if they were celebrating the legalization of the drug, but that hasn't happened yet. I am not going to stop them from celebrating because they aren't harming anyone and are just having a good time.
Finally, I don't think the Marijuana should be illegal and am surprised it hasn't been legalized yet. Actually not really surprised because some companies would see their business drop if pot was legalized.
Have a Happy Marijuana Day tomorrow, my readers!

S&N: The Change 1
I opened my eyes and saw that Samara's arms were still around me. She was the only one I would fully trust to be by my side in this war against The Net and its Machines. Getting up slowly I looked out the window and saw that the end hadn't happened yet and the birds were singing a merry tune.
I started to hum a pop song and decided to go downstairs to make breakfast for us. Karma, the secret organization against The Net, had teamed me up with Samara and we had quickly become lovers. Something about being comrades was the reason I had found for becoming so close. Seeing my Mickey Mouse waffle maker I decided I'd use it.
"You're using that piece of crap again, Naz." Samara said and I smiled. My full name is Nazilla but most people consider that a mouthful.
"Yes, your girlfriend is being young again." I said and cooked us some waffles.
She sat at the table when I had both of our waffles ready. "You know if an Elemental came here they would reconsider you being part of Karma." She said and took a bite.
"Yeah, the highest people in Karma would really visit here. Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire would all come here." I replied. "Why don't you try and find a Machine with a soul?"
"If I do that the war might be over very soon." She said and we both nodded.
After we finished eating we got out maps and plans. We spent over an hour figuring things out.
"So what is this death wish about?" I asked.
"We're attacking a small The Net outpost. It isn't too big, but sources say it's part of a new testing facility for The Net." Samara said.
"Yeah, but why us?" I asked. "I know at least one other team that's closer to that location than us."
"The other team is probably doing something more important and I think they've had a kid."
Nodding I looked at the map. "Maybe after this is all over we can adopt."
Samara smiled and we kissed. After that touching moment I got ready quickly. The elation I felt from her made me know I could fight anything when she was around. The Net would go down and then we would be together until we died of natural causes. Dying of natural causes was something anyone in Karma wanted.
"So who's driving?" I asked.
"Me." Samara said.
"Come on, with a few drinks I'm sure you'll sober up to the idea of me driving."
"You buy after the fight."
"You're on." I smiled and got into passenger side of the car. "Netty and its Machines are going down!"
