I have noticed that there is a trend in getting sleeve tattoos. Back in the days, and by days I mean in Iron Age Europe, such tattoos could easily be an identifier of rank. Not only that, but if were are lucky enough, they can actually last thousands of years after a person death. Of course that would require a very specific environmental condition. 

This huants me every summer

Underwear? Under Here!

I've been reading a lot of DNA Magazine and I've come under the impression that gay men own lots of underwear (or at least gay Aussies). I've never quite fully understood buying so much underwear. Perhaps that's the poor person in me speaking: I have other expenses occupying my thoughts. Even so, I do enjoy wearing good underwear every now and then (I'm not one of those boys who have to be fashionable 24/7).

I use to wear briefs all the time. Hanes has always been my brand of choice since they were cheap and fairly comfortable for day to day use. I wear them when I don't care about what other think, or when I don't expect to take my pants off (which is almost all the time).

Nowadays, I wear boxer or boxer briefs because they all free movement of my balls (yes I said that word). At first they felt weird because there was no support for my crotch but now I've grown accustom to them. My complaints about boxer are that some of them have no ways of closing the front opening making me weary of exposing my guns to everyone by accident. Fortunately, I only wear them around with no pants when I'm at home.

I have spandex shorts from my day as an athletic runner. I still uses them from time to time but I find that they collect too much moisture for my liking.

I own no fashionable undies because I'm broke! lol. Also because I haven't any outfit to fit them with and I want to beef-up before I wear them.

My favorite brands are:

Aussiebum

ES

Calvin Klein

2(x)ist

Nasty Pig

There are also times when I'm commando (did it at school once). And one day I'll wear a loincloth.

The Anime Invasion Claims Another City

Bangkok, Thailand is the next victim of the disproportionaly larged eye horde! lol.

Via NHK,

A Japanese anime song karaoke contest was held in Bangkok on Sunday. The event was organized by the Japanese embassy in Thailand.

16 finalists between the ages of 9 and 25 performed songs. They were chosen from more than 100 participants. Most of the finalists are studying Japanese and sang fluently in the language. Some of them danced energetically to the music as they sang.

Many young people wearing anime character costumes visited the venue, and took part in a photo event and an exhibition of anime items

The horde has already taken over Anaheim, and no doubt sent their spys to Comi-con in San Diego.


Naruto Nerds. :P

Boy, the ancients must have been bored

Via Livescience,

Behold the ancient dildo found in Sweden :

Last week, an excavation in Sweden turned up an object that bears the
unmistakable look of a penis
carved out of antler bone. Though scientists can't be sure exactly what this
tool was used for, it's hard not to leap to conclusions.

Now for me to sound like a third grader: That's small!

San Diego LGBT Pride - Personal

Personally, Pride in San Diego was a series of up and down due to issues with my shyness and my friends. I really hate being shy. I also hate coming out in a community lacking LGBT representation. I knew almost no one there. I spent my time being awkward. I've tried going to my University's LGBT resource center but I'm way too shy and too afraid to make much use of the community there. Essentially, I've caused myself to miss out on so many opportunity to integrate in the community.

So there I was spending 4 hours waiting for my friend who was one of the few other gay people I knew. Yeah, I was piss and was about to throw a fit. Eventually, he came and I calm down and began to enjoy the remainder of the day. It was my first going to a club. I manage to trance myself in the dance and totally forgot that I promised to be home by midnight. It was also the first time I got hit on by a guy: after I left the club, a really cute guy said hi and ask me if I enjoyed the night. All I did was give a surprised smiled and one of those dazed out Psyduck looks. He smiled back and said I must really be a shy guy. OMG, I'm still giggling like a high school student over it.

Then things got scary. I drove home from San Diego at around 2-3 am. I just passed Temecula going 80 miles per hour when one of my wheels burs ted. I pulled over to check but since it was dark I didn't see anything wrong. I spent the rest of way back to Riverside with a horrible grinding noise and fearing that I might die. I got home, went to bed, and woke up later in the after noon to check my car. There was no wheel on the back right side. Dad tells me I was lucky that the car didn't blow up on the way. It's the second time I've had this problem, but the first was not nearly as scary because it was bright out and I was in a parking lot.

Stimme des Herzen

eng: Whisper of the Heart

jp: Mimi wo Sumaseba (耳をすませば)

Auf Studio Ghibli kommt Stimme des Herzen. Die Erzählung ist uber Shizuku Tsukishima, wer ein Wechsel zu Gymnasium. Sie verliebrt sich in Seiji Amasawa und beweist seine Liebe mit Schrift.

Stimme des Herzen hat die Thematik von Kinderheit. Shizuku will sein Kinderheit bewahren mit seine Schrift und Seijis Liebe. Obwohl Shizuki seine Herausfoderung ergänzt, verliert sie sien Kinderheit zu Erwachsensein. Das ist eine gemeinsame Thematik für Ghibli. Das Kind kann nimmer das Kinderheit bleiben, obwohl Kinderheit güt ist.

Dirty lol

入+肉=肏
To Enter + Flesh/Meat = Fuck
lolz.
As you can see, the first radical (enter) is placed above the second radical (meat). Now lets all prove Freud right and read into this like crazy. lol
Most Chinese characters are formed by two or more radicals. It is often the case that one of these radicals offer a hint to the meaning while the other hints at the sound. This sounds fine, but as with all language Chinese has greatly change with the modern dialects no longer resembling the original pronouncation. For that reason, scholars have used the dialects, as well as Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese (since they significantly borrowed Chinese characters and words despite being linguistically unrelated to Chinese) to construct Classical spoken Chinese which can help to understand language change as well as changes in the sound of a character.

In this case the first radical is rù in modern Mandarin, jap6 in Cantonese, nhập in Vietnamese, ip in Korean, and ju in Japanese. It is likely the case that in past they would have been one sound and diverge. The second radical is ròu in Mandarin, yuk6 in Cantonese, nhục in Vietnamese, yuk in Korean, and niku in Japanese. Here it is reasonable to say that there may have been an avelor stop as as a stop for that syllable (k/g). Of course, I'm not a linguist major but it's fun to speculate and learn. The new word is cào/chaau3, which is a slang in Chinese.

So anyway, that was random.

*All romanized Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean words are in Pinyin, Jyutping, and Revised Romanization respectful. You may also see them in Wade-Giles, Yale, and McCune-Reischauer respectivly. Vietnamese employs their own script while Japanese uses their standard Romaji.
