What's Up With Bathroom/Bedroom Selfies & Thirsty People On Social Media?

This blog was previously published on Xanga May 28, 2013.

 

 

Hey Xangan friends, readers, and subscribers! I hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day. Lately, I've been blogging about Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. 

Today, I'm switching things up by addressing 3 growing epidemics. They are bathroom and bedroom models and thirsty people on social media.

If you don't know what bathroom models are, they are people from BOTH genders (mainly girls), who self-take pictures by using their camera phones and bathroom mirrors. Bedroom models love taking selfies in their underwear with "sexy" poses (usually with mix match bras and panties), while in their bedrooms and on their beds. 

Some of these "models" from both genders also take pictures in their pajamas, when they have supposedly "just woken up." Then, they will upload their pictures with a camera phone on their Facebook profiles and/other social media sites. It's mostly done to get more than 1 million "Likes." 

As wretched as these ideas are for selfies, the bathroom and bedroom models know the young and old thirsties will bumrush their walls and start cat calling them online.

When I say, "thirsty," I don't literally mean thirsty. As I explained in a previous blog, thirsty is slang for desperate. 

On my end of social media, I see QUITE a few thirsties on Facebook pages, Yahoo, etc. Every time a male or female friend of mine posts a selfie or a status update, desperate men and women bumrush to their pages like sycophants within a flash, salivating everywhere. It's not only annoying, but also disgusting.

To give you some examples, I have 1 bathroom modeling friend, who complained about having a migraine. This 1 thirsty creep of hers offered to be her "personal masseuse," when she's already in a "complicated relationship." 

Another example would be a male Facebook friend of mine. The man takes selfies and does YouTube Astrology vlogs. The single, horny, thirsty, and salivating cougars need to wipe their mouths with napkins and handkerchiefs. 

Like the sycophants that they are, they put his attention-seeking ass on such a high pedestal, that it is hilarious. It is wonderful to give and receive compliments. However, some people act like they've never had a man or woman in their entire lives. I remember what it was like to be crazy over a guy, during my youth.

Generally speaking, all these thirsty sycophants from various generations look like disgraces. They make everyone look pathetic and make it harder for the few of us to find someone of quality in real life because of their desperate behavior. 

Not only do they look pathetic, but I also feel humiliation for these bathroom and bedroom models and their thirsties. The thirsties have no idea how insecure they look to other people. 

They have that "he/she is out of my league" mentality and worship the attention whores like they're idle gods and goddesses. In addition to this RIDICULOUSNESS, these thirsties should already know, that flattery does not always get them any and everywhere. 

They are putting narcissistic attention whores on pedestals, while over inflating their egos. They purposely titillate their thirsties more with their sexuality, then laugh at them once they are gone. 

All the while, there are people like me basically acting like "flies on their walls." We roll our eyes and laugh at such stupidity. Some of you may be reading this and are probably saying, "She's only posting this because she's jealous." No, I am not. 

I take pride in knowing, that I don't need someone to validate me by telling me how "pretty" and "sexy" I am ad nauseam. 

I have spent the last decade enduring men AND women degrading and objectifying me, strategizing how they were going to bait me into having sex with them, trying to get my phone numbers, nudie pics, cyber sex, etc. I have my own baggage.

More than anything, I would much rather have people value my intelligence and respect me as a former Radio DJ/Hostess than always have thirsties salivating over my physical appearance. 

I only keep in contact with some attention whores for high school reunions, comic relief, entertainment purposes, and partly because THEY wanted me to add them. Otherwise, they are only keeping me as their personal audience and party guest. 

Not to sound conceited, but I don't really need narcissistic attention whores for actual "friendships." Being attention whores is all they care about in their lives. Don't you like that "Columbian Exchange"?

These same uneducated few only squeak by in life because they are "pretty faces" and/have "sexy bodies." They barely had to work hard for their respect or "success." Everything was handed to them based on their "beauty" and promiscuity. In some ways, I really pity them. 

They will never know, who their true friends are and who really has respect for them regarding business and relationship matters. 

Generally speaking, there will always be those jealous few, who will try smearing the "beautiful" and "sexy" people's reputations. 

That's not including stalkers, sociopaths, and serial killers trying to kill them out of spite for being rejected and/obsession.

Therefore, if any of you out there are bathroom/bedroom models and thirsties, please stop. It's NOT cute, hot, sexy, or flattering in the slightest. It's disgusting, unsanitary, desperate, and humiliating, if anything. 

Try showing some pride, wear some clothes, ask somebody to take your pictures for you, wipe up that saliva, and close your legs and mouths. If you need a better explanation, check out this YouTube video:

Say What? Shonen Jump Block Monopolizes Saturday Midnights On Adult Swim

This blog was originally published on Xanga May 21, 2013.

 

Hey Xangan friends, readers, and subscribers! A few days ago, I published another blog about Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. Without any complaints, that same blog continues to get readers. 

After publishing the blog and replying to others on my page, I researched to see what other viewers' thoughts were about Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. This included reading Adult Swim's forum.

As I read their comments, 1 Adult Swim poster mentioned, that Adult Swim's so-called "Toonami" block recently became a Shonen Jump Block. After thinking about what the poster said, I realized that he/she was onto something. 

By Adult Swim currently showing Bleach, Naruto, One Piece (a.k.a. the so-called "Big 3"), and Soul Eater, the Saturday midnight viewers have OFFICIALLY been alienated more than ever within these last few years. 

I am not saying this to completely insult every Shonen Anime, that is currently airing. I am a Bleach and Naruto fan, but I have never been a One Piece or Soul Eater fan.

Aside from my personal bias, these Shonen Jump Anime are perennials much like American soap operas. Cartoon Network/Adult Swim's main purpose behind airing Anime is to expose their viewers to shows, that lack having exposure. Most casual Anime fans already know about Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. 

It is not terrible for those Shonen to be mainstream. However, if the networks' goals are to expose viewers to Anime in general, chances are great, that he/she might not watch any or all those shows. "The Big 3" mostly have filler arcs.  

Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece's arcs have tendencies to go on really long tangents with irrelevant characters to their main plots. Adult Swim should've ONLY aired 1 perennial Anime at a time as opposed to simultaneously airing 3. 

Even though I hated Deadman Wonderland last year, at least Adult Swim was somewhat moving in the right direction in regards to airing more adult content. 

By NO means am I a prude, but Deadman Wonderland had GRATUITOUS violence, unrealistic writing, and a crybaby for a protagonist. At the same time, Deadman Wonderland wasn't a perennial with mostly filler arcs for teenage boys. 

Sometimes I get the impression that Adult Swim revels in alienating their current and potential viewers. Some of us viewers of both genders say the network should diversify its Anime genres and sub-genres instead of ALWAYS playing things safe with 1 group of fans. 

Other viewers have told me in the past, that Cartoon Network and Adult Swim are not Anime networks. They are completely justified in that argument. At the same time, Anime helped keep their ratings high whether the anti-Anime fans and the networks want to accept it or not. 

Mind you, this was before, during, and especially after Adult Swim acquired the rights to air canceled WB cartoons, Family Guy, and other Fox cartoons. 

Don't get me wrong. I love watching Family Guy, American Dad, The Boondocks, Robot Chicken, and Metalocalypse, whenever they have new seasons. 

Like I already said, Anime helped boost Cartoon Network and Adult Swim's ratings. Some give Anime fans grief because some are bratty fans with mental/behavioral problems and identity crises. Those few Anime fans ruin it for us sane people, who love watching Anime, but aren't pretentious zealots and sycophants about it.

To viewers with little or no knowledge about Anime, they are Japanese cartoons meant for ALL ages. Yes, I said "cartoons" because they are a Japanese form of animation, dating back to the 1920's and '30s. *Gasps* 

Anime has genres and sub-genres for children (Kodomo), girls (Shojo), women (Josei), boys (Shonen), and men (Seinen). There are also the pornographic kind (Hentai) and a few others. 

To be more specific, Kodomo, Shojo, Josei, Shonen, and Seinen are actually age and gender demographics. Those of us, who actually follow Anime OUTSIDE of Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, know that Anime is NOT always Shonen Action. 

There are Anime and Manga in Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Slice of Life (which depicts everyday life in Japan much like America's Seinfeld), etc.

Cartoon Network and Adult Swim fail to realize much less care to realize, that only airing Shonen Action Anime helps generate ignorance; Some Anime "fans" only know about Shonen. 

Then again, I mostly blame our American marketers for knowing nothing about Japanese entertainment, culture, religions, and sub-cultures.

Those who really want to watch other genres and sub-genres can order certain channels, buy the DVD/Blurays, and/watch legal and illegal online streams and downloads. Although, that only helps the industry to an extent. 

I think most people have at least basic cable/satellite, as well as local channels but not every channel airs Anime. When the Industry reached its pinnacle, during the early 21st Century, Syfy, Chiller TV, Colours TV, Fuse TV, IFC, Starz, Cartoon Network, and Adult Swim all showed Anime.

Since we're no longer in the early 21st Century and more people can ILLEGALLY download and stream Anime (as I'm blogging), the Anime Industry is suffering. Cartoon Network and Adult Swim are the most convenient and consistent. Both networks can help give newer Anime and genres more exposure. As I said earlier, Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece have the most exposure and enough of it.

If these 2 networks really want to spike their viewer ratings, while begging their Anime fans to watch them, they must:

1) STOP patronizing their viewers with a CGI robot (He self-righteously lectured fans about being a "hater")

2) START diversifying their programming by airing something their viewers and potential viewers want to watch.

Adult Swim's male viewers have especially been throwing in their towels left and right, since the network mostly airs mindless garbage. Anytime most of its male audience hates watching most of the programming, that should be a red flag. 

Anyway, I'll continue to only watch Bleach on Saturday nights. Until Adult Swim's Toonami airs more shows, that we want to watch, my TV will be turned off.

Will Cartoon Network & Adult Swim Ever Get Their Anime Programming Right?

This blog was originally published on Xanga May 17, 2013.

How's it going my Xangan friends, viewers, and subscribers! I hope all is well on your end. This past week, I have been rather silent. 

I was busy celebrating Mother's Day with my grandmother, mother, and aunts, chatting with other friends, job hunting, and blocking creepers on social media. I always love those men, who get butt-hurt because I REFUSE to send them any nudie pics or have cyber sex with them. I don't understand these men. Do they really think I'm going to lay them via computer screen? Talk about thirsties. 

Maybe my next blog will be about thirsty people on social media. If you don't know what I mean by "thirsty," that's slang for "desperate."

Anyway, I have been reading and hearing about Adult Swim airing MORE snooze worthy shows to their programming. The network chose to acquire Bob's Burgers and One Piece. Oh joy, oh joy. Those are 2 more shows, that I DON'T watch. 

I don't think too many Adult Swim viewers are rejoicing over Adult Swim acquiring both shows, especially Bob's Burgers. Bob's Burgers should've been canceled. 

A while ago, I read that Fox was canceling The Cleveland Show yet Bob's Burgers was being renewed. WHY?

If you ask me, Fox should've canceled both cartoons and brought back Sit Down, Shut Up. At least that cartoon was funny.

One Piece on the other hand, I have never gotten into that Shonen Jump Action Anime. From what I have been seeing and hearing, the One Piece's English Dubs have a lot of infighting within their fandom. 

According to what I have been told, fans are divided because there are 2 different English Dubs. There is a 4Kids English Dub, which is highly censored and dumbed down and then there's the Funimation Entertainment Dub, which is for the more mature audience. 

There is also the fact, that Adult Swim is airing Funimation's English Dub of One Piece and they are premiering it at episode 207, if I'm correct. Even though I'm not a One Piece fan, I think it is idiotic on Adult Swim's part to air an Anime for their fans and potential fans midway into a series. By Adult Swim premiering a show that high in episodes, they are automatically excluding potential fans and not all of their original fans remember everything, that happened years ago. 

Cartoon Network's Toonami canceled One Piece, years ago. Some diehard fans will argue, that potential fans can stream the old episodes online or buy the DVD/Blu-rays. However, everyone does not have the time, money, and patience to marathon EVERY One Piece episode. I get the impression that Adult Swim does not want to fully invest in the One Piece viewers. Then again, what am I talking about? 

Cartoon Network and Adult Swim as a whole, don't invest too much into anything their viewers want to watch. They have already excluded the female demographic completely these last several years, and they most definitely ignore their MALE demographic, which they claim to be targeting. 

I love how so many duped Toonami sycophants have been jizzing their Spider-Man underpants over the "Toonami" block and One Piece returning EXCEPT this time on Adult Swim. 

Like I already said in my March 15th blog regarding Cartoon Network and Adult Swim being sexist, their animation fans are being so highly misrepresented. It's completely understandable, that they cannot attract every American viewer.

Although, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim put forth very little effort to satisfy most of their viewers. I miss the old days, when BOTH networks aired animation for both genders with different animated genres and sub-genres everyday and night. 

Then again, Adult Swim was always a Man-Children Only Club WITHOUT overtly saying so.

Now, every night is mostly terrible Comedies with 1/2 those shows being low IQ'ed, Live Action Comedies, and late Saturday nights are devoted to Action Anime. Both networks used to air Anime on a nightly basis. 

Now, they have condensed their Anime lineup to ONLY late Saturday nights and early Sunday mornings. 

To make matters worse, the very few Anime they air consists of a Shonen Jump Action Anime block and overly syndicated Adult Swim Anime circa 2001. 

Since Adult Swim is so determined to premiere Shonen Jump Action Anime every Saturday night, why don't they remove "Toonami" from their branding and rename it "The Shonen Jump Block" or something similar? 

After all, it's evident that Adult Swim does NOT  want to air any other Anime genre and Anime from other publications. They could BUT  they don't want to because making excuses is more suitable for them. 

Since Adult Swim claims to be so "lowly funded" *sneeze* (I'm allergic to bullshit), I would remove all those overly syndicated Frat Boy Comedies from their Saturday night programming and make it Anime Night. 

Then, all those nostalgic, Toonami crybabies can watch all their old Anime earlier in the evening. By the time of 10 pm Central, I would air:

10:00 PM Special A

10:30 PM Naruto Shippuden

11:00 PM Bleach

11:30 PM School Rumble

12:00 AM Kaicho Wa Maid-Sama

12:30 AM Vampire Knight

1:00 AM Jigoku Shojo (Hell Girl)

1:30 AM Hellsing

2:00 AM Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)

2:30 AM Beelzebub

3:00 AM Repeat schedule from 10 pm

With the preceding schedule I created, Adult Swim COULD have a late Saturday night/early Sunday morning block; It could be an Anime Variety Block. 

For teenagers and adults of both genders, I selected Anime consisting of Comedy, Action, and Horror. Therefore, anyone from both genders could watch these shows, if they wanted. 

I created the schedule in this format because by the time of 1 AM, the shows have more violence and sexual content in them. 

Adult Swim doesn't necessarily have to air these EXACT shows. At the same time, they could at least try to follow a similar format, if they have to limit their Anime viewers to only late Saturday nights. 

Then again, the idiots in charge of Adult Swim aren't that clever. Well, at least we can dream, right?

So Anime fans, with this schedule I made, what are your thoughts?

Trimming The Fat On Stalkbook A.K.A. Facebook

This blog was originally published on Xanga May 8, 2013.

Hey there Xangans! How's it going? For a while, I have weighed, who I should and shouldn't unfriend. Normally, I don't unfriend people. Someone must be REALLY sickening, in order for me to unfriend them. 

I have unfriended and BEEN unfriended. Sometimes, being unfriended does not offend me. If the person annoys me the moment after he/she made me friend him/her only to endure his/her BS, my conscience is saying, "Goodbye and good riddance to you." 

Thirsty creeps typically unfriend me for not sending them any nudie pics OR because they are butt hurt over pettiness. I am still laughing at that stoner, Hawaiian, Brandon Lee Wannabee, hippie. 

Earlier this year, that pretentious attention whore unfriended me because I said, that I hated Sesame Street and Big Bird! That's how petty some of these people are on my end of Facebook. 

Yesterday I unfriended cheap talkers, liars, opportunistic PRICKS, and belligerent drunks, who insulted me while on "liquid courage." 

In addition, I have unfriended those who have not been on Facebook since 1-2 years ago and NEVER wished me a happy birthday YET love friend collecting sluts on my birthday. I didn't unfriend people, who can't always talk to me.

I understand that my friends are busy with work, school, raising their families, etc. However, if these are inconsiderate party people, friend collecting drunks, or simply friend collectors, that always visit other people's walls except for yours truly, then there is no need for me to waste time and space with these people on my friends list. This especially applies toward some old high school classmates.

Actually, there were several classmates I unfriended, during the 2 years I've had my Facebook account. I've blocked and unfriended so-called "friends" from 6-12th grade. 

I tried catching up with them before, during, and after our 10-year reunion, 2 years ago. Very few of them purposely went out their ways to pursue me. I shared with them my successes and failures, after high school. 

Did any of my own high school friends care?

Absolutely, NOT.  They were ONLY  interested in hearing about my shortcomings. 

In fact, those same high school "friends" perked up MOMENTS after mentioning, that had I acquired a severe bleeding disorder (which I'm finally cured of), being unemployed for the last several years, and about me almost being trapped into marrying a womanizing crooked cop. 

Nobody wanted to hear about me attending 3 colleges all within the same year, hosting my own college radio show, or about my poems and short stories bound at my final college. I asked them about what they accomplished, since high school.

They mostly stayed quiet and developed these nasty attitudes towards me. It's mostly because some of those same so-called "friends" were ALWAYS lazy and entitled, opportunistic, followers. They usually made me 3rd wheel and only used me for their personal conveniences. 

By the time most of us graduated from high school and went our separate ways, they did NOT  have me to depend on anymore. Some have developed a superiority complex 2 years ago just because they got engaged, married, and have their own crumb snatchers YET they did not attend college. Why? Because they didn't want student loan debts.

As much as I hate constantly having to defer my student loans, at least I graduated from college and conquered 2 of my dreams (becoming a Radio DJ/Hostess and having some of my work bound at Carthage College). 

The year after I graduated, 1 of my English Literature professors used my Yahoo 360 Blog for his Asian Heritage Studies Classes, which he taught. Not too many people can say this for themselves. I am NOT saying this to sound conceited. I'm mostly saying this because I reflect on my accomplishments from my early to mid 20's.

Whenever I tell people about my accomplishments, they feel overwhelmed and always ask, "Wow! You did ALL of that?" My reply, "Yes." Sometimes, my mind is blown and even I ask myself, "Wow! How DID I do all that?"

Not too many people my age have the will power to juggle their accomplishments, while simultaneously overcoming all types of adversity. During some of the MOST brutal times in my life, I managed to conquer and accomplish some of my dreams and goals. Here's what I endured along the way:

What I Was Forced To Endure:

* Post 9/11 racism 

* Abusive and toxic relationships

* Living with terminally ill family members

* Campus creeps stalking me at UW-Parkside

* Battled a severe bleeding disorder throughout my 20's  

* 2 deaths in my immediate family before graduating from Carthage College

Some people say, that I'm "stuck in the past" and "need to move on with my life." Their projection is hilarious. 

Those of the same ilk say this to me and to others YET  we are adults in our early 30's and they are still acting like they never left high school OR their early 20's. 

While THEY are projecting, they feel bitter, ashamed, unaccomplished, resent those of us who did accomplish something, and are living a Hollywood lie, ESPECIALLY on Facebook. 

Meanwhile, some of are eternally single like myself or divorced with or without their own crumb snatchers and managed to accomplish something in our lives whether big or small.

If they only care about friend collecting, social climbing, begrudging, scheming, and partying, I do NOT need them in my life. Neither does anyone else for that matter. The types I've described can be incredibly toxic and bring out the worst in someone and everybody around them. 

Like I said earlier, I have trimmed the fat on Facebook and feel some relief by unfriending them. If I do have to interact with those losers in public or via cell phone, I will be honest and confrontational about the way they treated other people, including me.

If you are still reading this blog and must endure losers like those of said ilk on Facebook or in real life, it's best to sever all ties with them. This is AS LONG as they are not people, who you rely on for friendship, family support, business, or entertainment purposes. If you do depend on them, you may want to limit your social interaction with them. 

Sometimes, we need to remove certain people from our lives for good reasons.
