Well, I thought part one did well. So why not a part two? Here's more words of wisdom from me.

Romance is a mysterious thing.

Romance is really a mysterious thing in life. To me, it is a bother. I don't want a girlfriend and I don't want to get married. I had a hard life. What good will getting a girlfriend do to me? Nothing!

I'm different! Not different in terms of looks, but in terms of interests. Still, I get admired by girls a lot and there are guys that do look up to me. Not many girls can relate to me though because I have interests that are totally different from theirs. Besides that, pleasing a girl is one responsibility I don't want to deal with.

What's the best thing to do while you confront this scenario? Stay awake and watch out for unexpected bumps. That's all.

Don't always jump to conclusions.

I gave a lecture to someone saying this or something similar. Here's a bit of what I said:

"Calling Love Hina a shoujo series is like calling Power Stone a fighting game. Love Hina is a shounen series and Power Stone is a party game. Love Hina appeared on Shounen Jump, a popular magazine."

Apparently, the guy thought that just because Love Hina had a lot of girls, it meant to him that the series was shoujo. Well, it's not. It's shounen. If it was shoujo, the guys would look more feminine and there would be love triangles galore.

Stretch before you play a sport or do an exercise.

When I was a sophmore in high school, there was a time I would pitch to my brother and somehow, my neck felt iffy. An old man was walking down and saw me with a bad neck. He told to do some neck stretches and neck felt better.

That helps.

Benimaru is a biseinen, not a bishounen.

Read my faq and you'll know why.

The English words in Japanese pop songs are put there only because they sound good, since they don't make any sense with the rest of the lyrics.

Yet again, more words of wisdom from The Anime Cafe.

If you're going to abbreviate Japanese, use Jpn, not Jap.

I don't know why people don't follow this. Jap = a derogitory term used in WWII, refering to anyone Japanese. You can say "Yeah, back in the days of WWII, a lot of Americans would always keep saying 'Jap' as a way to degrade the Japanese," but that's it.

I know I'm not Japanese. Still, follow this rule. I do! I'm a Californian! What other reasons do you want?

Face it. The force of what we call "kawaii" is strong.

Maehara Shinobu, Osaka, Kero-chan, Hinata, the Di Gi Charat girls, you have to admit it. Kawaiiness is that strong. You should never under estimate its force, especially if you get hit by Hotaru's Sou Shou Ten Ren Ge.

"Women understand children better than men." That is false.

I think Mike Tyson actually said this. You know, he's right. Think about it. Men are more likely to act like kids than women. I still carry a innocent child personality. Men still play video games. Women just read some novel that never excites a child like Tuesdays with Morrie (and believe me, I've seen more women read those novels than men), work on gardens and so forth.

Trademark noises are popular in the anime world.

"Uguu!" "No da!" "Hoeee?!?" Those series wouldn't be themselves without their trademark noises.

Guys get nosebleeds. It's an old mothers tale. To be more specific, guys get nose bleeds when they look at pretty girls because that's impolite. There you go.

Well, there you have it. Weird word of wisdom, but interesting never the less.

Once again, my words of wisdom.
