Brog No ShookDie

へろ(Herro)~!

ぼくわ せんしゅう NOTHINGおしました。

にほんごの ブログの しゅくだいわ ハードーです。

And you guessed it, I don't think I want spend an hour typing up a decent post so I'm gonna turn to HardGay to save my day again. Check it out ヨ~!It's totally the 6 seconds I took to copy and paste the video here.



ぼくわ みました、 ハードーゲイの VOCABULARYに、にほんごの じうぎょの VOCABULARYが たいてい あります。I noticed that HardGay says words that we learned in class (that got me excited and gave me an excuse to watch the video while typing).

EX: たくさん いてますね

And I learned some words too. Like たべもの (food). Notice how for buildings we say たてもの。If you look at the Kanji it's 建物。The first character means "to build," while the second means "material/object/physical substance." So you can guess than when you hear たべもの(食べ物), it means food. たべ、to eat, plus もの(物)。

I'm sure quite a few of you know, and I'm sure a lot of people are learning new words from watching Japanese shows and whatnot, but I just felt like sharing something that I discovered and thought was interesting. THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE, HOOOOOO~~!

The ビヂオ actually made me think a little bit about the concept of taste. With so many people having obesity-related health problems and ending up in  びょういん、I thought about the possibility of somebody coming up with a drug or a way to consistently de-sensitize the tastebuds in the tongue.

My argument is that without knowing what foods taste like, we can make healthy choices. For example, the reason we want to choose cookie dough ice cream over celery is because although we are aware of the consequences to health, we can't resist the taste of おいし ice cream. But what if ice cream tasted exactly like celery? Then we would always choose the healthier foods. Not only will we reduce obesity rates to virtuallyゼロ, the entire humanity would be a lot healthier from たべing a variety of いい foods.

On the other hand, we would definitely miss out on all the pleasures that tasting can bring. What about being able to switch it on and off? That could help people lose weight and make healthy choices in general but also be able to enjoy occasional outings and such things.

Inspirational Figures

ヨ(yo~)!<--- My favorite カタカナcharacter.

こんにちわ!

きのうの トピクわ にほんじんのinspirationalひと(person)ですよ (yo~)!

だれですか? I think a good number of people know him actually. This is pretty ふるい stuffよ(yo~)!

But nevertheless, ぼく have to いって, he's responsible for shaping me into who ぼく am きのう。


He is:





















Yes, ハドゲイ(Hard Gay)です!

Okay, for the record this guy isn't ゲィ. He's a wrestler that happens to wear S&M uniforms as a part of his persona, and is probably more ゆうめい for his hilarious projects on にほんの テレビprograms. Check it out, よ~!

I hope that changed the way you view yaFOOOOH! forever.


But on a more serious note, I think it's awesome that the Japanese can feature people with such open sexuality on national TV. One thing I noticed in one of the HG videos was that the kids loved him. That's like the most significant thing ever; the most predominant factor that shapes our ideas about sexuality is society and culture.

I learned a little bit about this in Prof. McKenna's クラス(if you haven't taken one of his classes yet, he's like one of the best teachers ever!). We grew up thinking that sexuality is black and white; but in reality it is not so. All men are, in varying degrees, slightly feminine, and same goes for all women. But as we grew up we learned to repress parts of ourselves and to make choices: black or white; male or female; gay or straight.

Maybe we have to recognize that the way nature works, such thing as gender is not as clear-cut as we thought.

I have a dream that one day men can walk around, regardless of biological sexual orientation, and thrust their hips loud and proud. Hmm.. I don't know what women do to express themselves though; I think I'll let them decide.

PeaceLoveUnityですよ~!
