>Inscription#0006: "Dear Leader"

There was a theme week on North Korea on Finland's National Geographic channel a couple of weeks backwards. Admittedly I don't watch so much TV these days but I did watch some of the shows airing during the theme week. Like every proper citizen, I'm generally aware what kind of shit goes on in North Korea under the dictatorship of the fat bastard Kim Jong-un. Watching the shows didn't incite anxiety in me but rather just pure disappointment and resentment towards the fact that in the good year of 2018 the rest of the world still hasn't taken any definitive actions against the absolute cesspool of violated human rights that is the tyranny of the Kim family. The lil' nihilist part in me constantly asks "why haven't we nuked this place yet" but then I think we probably wouldn't be much better an example of good people than Jong-un is if we did that.

There was a lot of stuff in the shows but probably the most ridiculous one comes from elsewhere. I saw a clip on YouTube where a bunch of North Korean pre-schoolers were playing outside and a white foreign reporter tried to play along to make a connection. The kids were singing seemingly harmless nursery tunes, but then I saw a comment below the video from someone who speaks Korean who said the song was actually about encouraging fear and killing white people. What the fuck.

I know a former classmate who went to visit North Korea just for fun. Some balls right there.

>Inscription#0003: "The Story of a Certain Space Opera"

>Initializing response... Mass Effect is my all-time favourite video game series, let's get that out of the way. For me, it is THE video game series. For this reason, I will always be biased in its favour and I will defend it to the day of my alleged death. However, as every established aspiring video game employee, I am capable of critical thinking and I will attempt to use this informed ability to try and assess the impact BioWare has had on the industry with its games, mostly ME. The condensed synopsis for the original Mass Effect trilogy follows like this: in the year 2183, Commander Shepard, a renowned space mariner with a substantial service record, gets assigned on the ship SSV Normandy for a routine artifact recovery mission that goes awry. The Commander is attacked by mobile AI army of geths led by Saren Arterius, a Spectre gone rogue. They are after the same object tasked to be retrieved by Shepard, an ancient beacon left behind by the Protheans, a now-extinct a...

That's what I got from a classmate one day when she noticed we were in the same bus and wanted to get my attention, but didn't dare to call me by my name so instead she sent me a text message. But truth be told, I just think she's finally assimilating to the true Finnish mentality. Cheers ;D But before I digress, I admit that I do listen to a lot of music. Whenever I leave the house, I need to have my earphones with me or I get instantly bothered and annoyed. I'm not sure why bringing music with me everywhere I go is compulsory for me but it does keep my mind active at least a little bit, in a positive way. I get ideas better when I have something to listen to and sometimes music helps me to concentrate on whatever I'm trying to concentrate on, though it has to be the exactly correct type of music or it'll do the exact opposite. I easily associate songs with certain periods or certain happenings in my life and sometimes I can't listen to a song because I d...

I don't watch music videos a lot, at least not for the sake of the video material. There might be songs not available elsewhere and I have to listen to them through YouTube, so those are automatic views for the possible music videos. Nevertheless, here's one of my favourite music videos ever made. Pretty sure I discovered it soon after it was published because I remember watching it a lot during my year in film acting school, which was in 2013-2014. I love it because it gives off super positive vibes and also has a message of not giving up in the times of hardship. I don't know what genre the song is, to be honest. Alternative pop?? The video's genre is just feel-good, I think. It shows the CC duo doing dances from different decades and gathering people up to do the same, inviting them to do fun stuff together no matter who they are or where they're from. Dancing is sometimes considered to be a universal language (sorry math, I hate you) and something people ...
