Favorite Quotes-

"All I see in your sword is fear. If I dodge, I'm afraid of being hit. If I'm protecting someone, I'm afriad they'll die. If I attack, I'm afaid I'll cut them. There is no place for fear here. Do you see the resolve to cut you in my blade? If I dodge, I won't let you hit me. If I'm protecting someone, I won't let them die. If I'm attacking, I will cut you." Bleach.

A women tells Sir Winston Churchill that he is drunk at a party. "Mam, I may be drunk, but your ugly, and I'll be sober in the morning."

"Corn is no place for a mighty warrior!" Teen Girl Squad #10

"Maniac in a Speedo'd!" Teen Girl Squad #11

"Don't you mean the Star-gate?"

"No! This is the Far-gate, it has nothing to do with the movie of a similar name, which I have never seen before!"

"It was a good movie though..."

"Yeah, it was." Aqua Teen Hunger Force

"Evelyn was an insomniac, so when they say she died in her sleep, you have to question that."

Tsunade- I give it about a 75 percent chance that she will die before the end of the series. As is common in fiction, no matter how strong a group is, when one or more of the group dies, the rest are often soon to follow. For example, the Mauraders, once Peter died, Remus was soon to follow.

I realize that the vast majority of people out there, dislike Sasuke, and I will admit, I'm not his biggest fan at the moment, but really, this entire Sasuke bashing thing has just gotten out of control. I think it's mainly a case of fannon taking over the cannon events. For example

Fannon: Sasuke: I'm an Uchiha, I deserve ultimate power, everyone must teach me everything because I must, must, MUST kill Itachi.

Cannon: Sasuke: I am an Uchiha, I should be stronger. I need to become stronger to kill Itachi."

Note the fact that the cannon is two distinct sentances, while fannon is a mis-mash of everything and then some. The fact is, in cannon, Sasuke never once says that he should be getting special treatment or training because he is an Uchiha, he does say he needs it to become stronger. Also, he says that he should be stronger because he is an Uchiha, to me, he is referring to the fact that he should be stronger THAN HE IS CURRENTLY, not stronger compared to Naruto or Kakashi.

Though every one of you Sasuke haters wishes for his death, as of now, he WILL live. He will kill Itachi, he will fight against Akatsuki. Now, I am in no way implying that he is gonna get a free ride back into Konoha as so many people like to think he would, in fact, i doubt he'll even go back to Konoha, even if it was offered.

PS, constantly calling him "Sasugay" or Sas-UKE doesn't make you cool...it's not funny and every time I see it, you guys laugh, the sasuke hating community laughs and I die a little more inside.

Ok, so another thing I have noticed is that people think that every time they
mention the Hokage, a Hokage, or a Kage in general, they have to mention paperwork and the evil that lies there in. I get that it's supposed to be a joke... in fact, I'm pretty sure I've made it at least once in my time writing fanfiction, but I really am beginning to hate it. Nope, scratch that, I do hate it. First off, what little comedic value it has is only put to good use when used in visual media...not writing! Secondly, people tend to use it once or twice a chapter...for like eight chapters in a row...thats about...let's see here...plus three, carry the one...take into account inflation and the Earth's rotation...way the fuck too many! Thirdly, I'd just like to say that the lampooning of the Bureaucracy isn't new and reached it's pinnacle of hilarity on that episode of Futurama where Hermes is replaced and sent to a forced labor camp.

"Guards! Bring me the paperwork I need to have her taken away!"

Right, so it really is starting to piss me off how people are making stories where Naruto is made either the Sandaime's student, Jiraiya's student right off the bat, or just the student of a really old person. I've seen one where he was the student of Homura and the other one whose name is escaping me. Now, that's all and good, in fact, I like stories where someone takes an interest in Naruto before it became fashionable, but where they go wrong, is that they make him some kind of super powered human death wielding machine or something. Now, before you think I'm going on about being Mary-sue, or what ever, I'm not. I like stories where you have Super!Naruto, if you haven't noticed, I tend to write those stories.

No, what gets me, is that people think that he'll become some kind of god, just because he's being trained by a strong ninja at an early age. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO YOUR DAMN TEACHER IS! What do I mean? How to put this...Hinata, who has absolutely no training under a sannin or anyone other than a jounin ninja will surpass, at the very least, Asuma and Kurenai in terms of power. Proof you say? Ok, I'll give you proof.

"The next generation will always surpass the previous one. It's one of the never ending circles of life." Kakashi

Now, why do you think that is? Is it because the new generation is some how magically more powerful than the last? No way, Asuma was never stronger than his father or the sannin. Kurenai isn't stronger than Tsunade.

Is it because there is a genetic reason...again, no. Same examples, not gonna go into them again. Besides, anything genetic would take too long to show up, it wouldn't make each subsequent generation stronger.

No, the answer my friends and probably a few enemies, is teaching. Teaching and knowledge are the two things that change rapidly enough to impact every generation, and with the youngest learning everything that the older ones have learned, as well as heaping on their own experiences and knowledge, that is the true reason that each generation is stronger than the last. Did Naruto learn Fuuton: Rasengan from Jiraiya? I think not.

Sasuke is lucky that Itachi was brought up with what is essentially Kakashi's generation. That's the only way that he's even going to stand a chance against his older brother. Nothing he learned under Orochimaru will be of any help, and it will be a Chidori or variation there of that will kill him, if anything.

Recap: When you have the Sandaime teach Naruto...YOU ARE CONDEMING HIM TO DEATH! THERE IS NO WAY THAT HE WOULD STAND A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL OF BEATING PEIN OR EVEN KONAN!

THE LAST ONE...FOR A WHILE

Why do people assume the the sharingan's copying abilites are based around movement? The sharingan evolved from the Byakugan which is famous for being able to see chakra pathways and tenketsu. So why would the sharingan go from seeing chakra, to focusing on movement? When the sharingan copies a technique does it make more sense that it would instantly copy the hand seals, or would it copy the flow of chakra inside the opponents body.

Everyone is always bad mouthing Kakashi for not training Naruto during the chuunin exam. Did anyone ever think that maybe he knew that Jiraiya was going to be in town? If he's training Naruto, than Jiriaya doesn't do his bit and the entire story is ruined. Did anyone ever think of that?

People who bash Sasuke because he seems to have everything handed to him are no better than the boy who they hate. Sasuke, at least as portrayed in fannon, is under the impression that power is owed to him and that he deserves it due to his circumstances. The authors of Sauske bashing stories have come to the conclusion that while Sasuke might not be owed that power, Naruto some how is. Now, not once do you ever see Naruto going around saying things like "Oh, I have a terrible life due to the demon that was sealed inside me, I deserve power". Not a single time. So, it can only be in the author's imagination that something like that happens, which means that it is the authors who believe that power is owed to certain people due to their upbringings.

I'm getting sick of the lack of imagination that some people have on this site. It's becoming a real buzz kill when I'm reading a story and begin to see the same pattrens and gimmicks used in fifteen other stories. For example, people want to give Naruto a new summons, not an uncool idea, but it always ends up the same thing. Either foxes, wolves (for reasons I don't come close to understanding), dragons, or pheonixes. I have actually stopped reading stories complety when I see the word dragon in the summary, chapter or title. Foxes were, at one time, a cool idea, but now seem to have run their course, and besides authors liking wolves, I don't see how that is even applicable to the Naruto-verse.

I want to pose a challenge to all the writers out there. Normally I don't advocate the writing of non Naruto centric stories, but maybe I should give writers out there the chance to change my mind.

There seem to be only two reactions to trauma. The first is an attraction so deep that it consumes you until you feel compelled to repeat it over and over. The second is a fear or hatred so strong that your entire life changes to avoid a repeat of this event. What if Sasuke, instead of following his brother's parting words, became afraid. Instead of becoming the Uchiha avenger, Sasuke becomes afraid. Instead of being a genius of the ninja class, he is too afraid to perform a ninjutsu, let alone be the rookie of the year.

Anyone wants to take this up, please let me know, I'd love to read it.

I feel kinda bad since half my profile is just me listing things that I hate and explaining my reasons...so to try and even it out, here's my list of things I like

MUSIC

Lostprophets...simply amazing band, new CD out this summer, can't freakn' wait...been way too long since I've seen them and I've been listening to Liberation Transmision so much I've practically worn out half the tracks. THE BETRAYED, NEW ALBUM COMING IN JANUARY '10! NEW SINGLE, 'IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT I CAN SEE IT FROM HERE, OCTOBER '09!

Motion City Soundtrack...first off, I'm modeling my current hair style after Justin's (The lead singer's) so if you know the band at all...I WILL HAVE THE COOLEST HAIR EVER...well, second coolest I guess. Lately I've found myself with Even if it Kills me on repeat, both the song and the CD.

Plain White T's...so Hey There Delilah was over played way too much...I'll maybe, kinda, sorta get over it...Every Second Counts is still a great CD, even after they put that damn re-release on there.

TELEVISION

Dexter...I don't know if I should be happy that I've found a show that I really connect with or be worried because I find myself agreeing with a sociopath...

House...come on, it's way better than Grey's Anatomy, not only in terms of hot women (I'd take Lisa Edelstein over Katherine Heigl any day of the week, and she's number 3 on my list), but plot and it's amount of generally grumpy/possibly pissed of older men is just unmatched.

NCIS...Darn good show, almost the exact opposite of the CSI franchise. Hundreds of times mroe character drvien than procedural.

Criminal Minds...Maybe I'm just going through a psychological profiler phase, but I love the show almost as much as I love my Alex Cross books.

SPORTS

Ohio State Buckeys...I grew up in Ohio, I go the the University, I'm kinda locked in here

Pittsburgh Penguins...Come on Pens!

Ipswich Town FC...if you haven't heard of them...it's probably for a good reason, it's looking like we'll miss out on promotion again...

Tennis...Okay, lets go down the list

Roger Fedderer- Okay, was going to see him in Indian Wells, but then Tommy Haas withdrew and well...the Sharapova match wasn't that good.

Rafeal Nadal- CUT YOUR HAIR! As nausiating as this is to say, he's without a doubt the best player in the world. He's going to breeze through the French Open again, and baring some kind of shake up, win Wimbledon without a whole lot of trouble. HOWEVER! Come the summer hard court season, he will falter, just like every other year. All the required matches of the ATP events will take a lot out of him, and come the US open, I really don't see how he can be considered the favorite, one, hard courts really aren't his best and two, he plays the clay court season in Europe like most players treat the Hard court season in the US. Far tougher players have been brought down by less grueling schedules and Rafa is not my favorite to win a grand slam this year.

Andy Roddick- Just as I write him off, he goes and makes the semi in Australia. Of course, he lays an egg against Roger, but hey, he's laid an egg against him the other 25 times they've played, so why change now? Anyway, I think Andy's got a chance at Wimbledon, better than 2008 at least. He's tied with Djokavic for my 3rd favorite going into the tournament. As much as I love the guy, I think all the pressure is going to get to Murray and he'll won't get as far as people had hoped.

The Williams sisters...let me say this...if you value your hearing you will never ever mention their names in my pressance. Venus is alright, though she's past her prime like every other American, and Serena just pisses me off to no end. First off, I don't give a shit if you did just win the only tournament standing between you and your 'Serena Slam', you don't bad mouth the prize money from Australia. Secondlly, every time you say that you didn't loose, that you beat yourself, I've watched you, and you got out-played and generally looked like a fat, bloated burrito from Taco Bell that someone threw on the ground and stepped on. If you want to play the game, take it seriously or take a hike!
