"<******** what the ******** ********? Who the ********? ******** this ********, how'd you two ********? ...******** Saints

Favorite quote of all time, just because of the use of the word ********. Almost making the word mainstream lol xd

- Vegeta (Dragonball Z, Buu saga - as it was in the manga)


And now prepare for my huge explanation (and believe me, this thing is AWFULLY CONDENSED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE):

As we all know, I'm a huge DBZ fan and the character Vegeta Saiya-jin no Ouji (Vegeta, Prince of the Saiyans) is my favorite fictional character of ALL time across all media. He epitomises the epic struggle some people (me including) face between our actions and our emotions, and dealing with a past that's left us scarred and almost dead to the world. Throughout the series, he's had to deal with a myriad of emotions (or lack thereof); initially starting off as a major villain (the Prince of a nearly extinct race of powerful warriors), he was forced into an unstable alliance with the series' protagonist Son Goku to help destroy a common enemy called Frieza. It becomes apparent that he was taken from his father, the King, under false pretences before the Saiyan home planet and their entire race was destoyed. He was forced to live as a slave to the tyrant Frieza, becoming an evil and ruthless assassin and all-round purveyor of mass murder - until he set foot on earth.

Anyhoo... a lot of things happen (people with knowlege of the anime will know) and he finds himself romantically involved with an earthling called Bulma. He struggles with his emotions for months, at first being incapable of any emotion other than anger, jealousy and hatred - he now has to deal with that little emotion called 'love' (lol). He convinces himself that he sees her as merely a lust object, a distraction and potential weakness (he never admits he cares for her), especially after finding out he got her pregnant. He initially abandons her and their unborn child - he fears his attachment to them will compromise him, and he is simply does not want to be, nor fit to be a father. Cell saga happens... people die... get resurrected (cept for Goku) and Vegeta finds himself struggling to accept his rapidly changing morality and in effect his own identity.

He eventually returns and marries Bulma (all taking place in the seven years before the Buu saga), and finally accepts their young son as his heir and raises him. He finally accepts he does care for his family... until the arrival of Babidi in the Buu Saga. Hence this quote...

The wizard Babidi has the ability to control the residing evil within a person's heart, and Vegeta's conflicted nature makes him easy prey. He allows the wizard to reawaken the evil in his heart, so that he could free himself of his attachments, holding them at fault for his inability to achieve his destiny of becoming the powerful tyrant he wanted to be in the past.

Anyway this quote always sent shivers down my spine, Vegeta's wonderfully flawed character in crisis inadvertedly admitting maybe he does care. It would also make his next action more poignant... the act of sacrifice so that his wife and son may live. I'll save that for another time because all this typing has tired me so xD.

-Otep Shamaya


And this quote my friends, reminds us of why we are Korn fans. Power to Otep, she clearly understands how we feel about our music and what sets us apart from the idiots who just ride the fads as they come and go.

No problem biggrin

"I love you too much to even think about distance."

My boyfriend said that. . . We're 260 miles apart, and at the time I was worried what the distance would do to our relationship. Sometimes boys are the cutest. (sorry for the cheesy factor XD)

"You didn't know he had a crush on you? Hell, darlin Hellen Keller could have seen that without her cane."

And that is what another friend said when he found out we were dating. I can read that when ever, where ever, and no matter what mood I'm in it makes me smile. Cause its just so flippin great.

I just thought this comment was funny. Back story is that he dressed up as Gerard Way on an Australian comedy gameshow for a halloween special. Aforementioned gameshow is called Talkin' 'bout Your Generation, where 3 teams represent the 3 generations for hilarious fun. Josh represents Gen Y (aka, our generation) and decided to make fun of the emos that have given our generation a bad name by dressing up as Gerard Way. After the show, a bunch of emos started hurling attacks at him (mainly via twitter), calling him a 'p***y' and a 'f**' and even going as far as threatening to kill him. Pretty spunky for a bunch of depressed teenagers eh...

Anyway, I guess he sees what we the enlightened of our generation see. Way is nothing but a poseur with NOTHING going for him except for making annoyingly depressing pop-rock. The weird obsession emo teens have with him and MCR is totally unjustified.
