Goku

Goku is always late. Sometimes his spaceship arrives late. At other times, he is dead. Once, he got a deadly virus in him that caused him sickness and he couldn't fight the Androids.  Now, if you are wondering who Goku is then here is the revelation. Goku is the lead character from the Animated Series Dragonball, Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT. If you are not a fan of the series then it's ok. If you just hate the fact that the show horrifically takes 10 episodes to build a fully functional spirit bomb then welcome to the club.

Why am I talking about an animated series? Why aren't I covering an issue that has wide repercussions and that is more at value? Well, I am a fan of the show and I decide what I write. (Kind of like," I am not in danger. I am the DANGER. I am the one who knocks!") So, in spirit of that thought, here are some interesting facts about the show. There are 3 sets of dragon balls shown in the show. One is the original Dragonballs from the Dragonball. Then, there are the Dragonballs from planet Namek of Dragonball Z. These were made in the fictional planet. Finally, there are the Blackstar Dragonballs from Dragonball GT.

The Dragonballs from the original series, when collected would give the collector one wish. The wish could be triggered by summoning Shinron the dragon. The dragon would grant the wish and the seven balls would randomly fly away to different ends of the Earth. It could even bring back someone who is dead.  But you can only bring dead people back once (from the original show).  The Namek Dragonballs are bigger and they grant three wishes. They also disperse in the planet, once the wishes are granted. The Blackstar Dragonballs grants only one wish but the world explodes in a year of the granting of the wish. The Dragonballs however disperse into far corners of the galaxy.

So, I have all of this knowledge about a animated show. If I had this much knowledge about brain surgery, I would have been called smarty pants. But I have knowledge about this thing and I am proud about that. Everybody needs entertainment in life and this is mine. (Along with other 768 cartoons and TV shows that is aired on TV. Including WWE! I just WWE and I am not ashamed to say that even as an 18 year old kid.)

Remember! Remember!! The 5th of November!

Today is not a day of triumph but a day of failure. Today is not a day of orderly justice but a day of harsh decisions. I remind you of today's date. Today is the 5^th of November, the day when the infamous Guy Box planned to blow up the British Parliament. He was caught before he could successfully complete the act. He met his demise but it created a following that made him immortal in the populace even today.  He is a global symbol of public outrage. He is the face of the Anonymous mask.

Now you must be thinking "What"! I see that most kids today remember the movie 'V for Vendetta' or if the kid is classy, the graphic novel. But the history dates far back. Anyways, the point is, Guy Fox wanted to show the one bird salute to "THE MAN" and he became the symbol of mutiny. His face themed mask spread like wildfire after the digital age. The chief exploiter of his symbol is 'Wiki leaks' that has been the controversy of the past few years.

Now, I do not think that it is necessary to outline what "Wiki Leaks" has done. But what it has adopted is a symbol, a symbol that has given every nobody out there a voice. Everyone is Martin Luther King Jr. with their inspiring words in the internet. The courage to speak in the open is lacking for most but some do have the tenacity to do it all out in the open. Nevertheless, the mask still survives, as an identity of public protest and anonymity.

The mask has invaded public buses, trains, museums, schools, colleges and so on. These areas are filled with anti bourgeois movement that, general populace has a hard time finding who the bourgeois are. The significance of the mask remains amidst controversy. All you can say is, "Love or hate, you cannot debate, it is at the epicenter of all controversy!"

How can you be square and yellow? How do you live underwater? How do you have a pet snail? Why doesn't Plankton wear any clothes? Why does Patrick live under a rock? Why is Squidward pissed off all the time? How do you make a crabby patty? Why does Mr. Crab have a whale daughter? Why are you cheerful all the time? Why do you even wear pants? Why does that squirrel live underwater? Where are your parents? Why is your teacher so mean?

Why does the pirate talk like that? Has he got piles? Is he on drugs? Does he drink too much alcohol and get wasted?  Is he really a pirate? Is he an actor on a pirate costume? IS he just a painting? What does he eat? Why doesn't he hear when the kids say 'Aye? Aye! Captain'?  Are his painted ears too weak to hear the voices of the kids? Again, is he on drugs or alcohol? Are we on drugs or alcohol? Are we sober when we watch your show? Why is there an underwater ocean?

What is your purpose in the world? Why can't you learn boating? Why do boats have wheels in your town? Why can't you have too many crabby patties? Why does it go on your hip? Does your hip really explode? What is it about making crabby patties that attracts you? Why are the customers so gullible? Why does Plankton engage himself on petty things? Can't he invent something useful? Why is he such a genius? Why does he have a wife that is a computer?

Why are the bubbles bubbling after every scene? Why is that snail so boring? Why is your bed weird? Why is Patrick so stupid? Why does Squidward play the clarinet? If he is so awesome, why does he work in a fast food restaurant? How much money does he get? How much money do YOU get? Why is Mr. Crab so cheap? Why does he love his mom so much?  Why do people like you so much? Why do you even exist?

Why do I ask so many questions? Sigh! I will never know. But I love my mom.
