Hiatus

After many years of waiting and anticipation (2 years to be more precise), Hunter X Hunter is back!

If you don't know what that is:

Manga it is. Get your daily dose of manga!

It is a difficult process, catching up with someone. So much to talk about, and many more things you don't even remember about them, that you have to remind yourself. You just want to read that person like a book from cover to cover again. Wonder if life will become a continuous state of catching up with people. Perhaps it already is. Oh the illusions of life. Like staring into a water pond and deciphering the content. Matrix conundrum. Anyway, all that to say it's darn hard to pick up a manga again after two years of hiatus. You remember you shared some real touching moments with the characters. You laughed with them and cried. You empathized with the main character b/c he's human just like you. You get scared for his safety at times and sometimes you just want him to beat the crap out of the villain. And most importantly, you welled up with tears when you see the beautiful and loyal friendships that get formed between the characters. So many good moments spent reading a manga. Problem. You don't remember any details at all. It's all a blurry mess of nostalgia.

Believe it or not, the intention behind this post is not to talk about manga. That was just a set-up. A preface. I actually want to talk about something personal. Wat drama effects. Wat drum rolls.

Wat personal. Don't get your hopes too up. Crank it down a notch.

I think I will be moving out tmr or something.

My tumultuous relationship with roomie has come to a point where I feel there's no more hope and no more saving of whatever that still remains. It's spoiled and condemned. We just need a hiatus at this point. One year, two years. Who knows how long. Maybe forever. Our conflict is like a riddle that can't be solved. An impossible math problem. I don't know if keep trying is the solution. B/c it Pretty Hurts every time I try.


See what I did there? Should be pretty obvious if you are a Beyonce's fan.

Anywho. Watched some episodes of the Last Airbender yesterday. And Anng had to learn to let go of his earthly attachments in order to receive the cosmological energy and achieve the avatar state. Geek alert. Greek yoghurt. I think that is a very good lesson to learn. To "let go" of course. Sometimes, letting go might just be the best gift you can bestow upon someone. This topic seems real sad to talk about. I'd cry you a river in normal circumstances just thinking about departures and saying "sayonara", but I am awfully unaffected right now. Perhaps I've achieved the avatar state. Or a metamorphosis like prince Zuko. Funny thing is the relationship between prince Zuko and his uncle Iroh resembles awfully a lot to that of me and roomie. I relate to Iroh so much, getting stuck with a stubborn angry prince. Now you'd have to watch the show if you want to know exactly what I am talking about. Or not. But it's a good show. Or not. It's your life.



So yeah hiatus. This time I actually came up with the title of the post first! Inspiration is a funny thing. I wonder how did it dawn on the first person who thought of wiping their buttcrack. Thought for food. If you still have appetite thinking about buttcracks that is.

Hiatus. Yes. Leaving someone behind. And never look back. I know roomie doesn't read my blog. I think it is b/c he is afraid of what I might write about him.

Gene, if you ever read this though, know that I am sorry.
