Technology

I have been watching the "James Cameron Avatar" Movie and I have started thinking, why can't our computers move information by the movement of our fingers. The biggest problem is that the computers don't know where to send the information. I think that it should be possible to take a piece of whatever mineral is used for memory and surgically place it in your finger. I know that is a little extreme but y0u could also have the mineral on top of your finger but then it could scratch the screen. I think that this seems extreme because society doesn't really feel that technology can evolve from where it is in a drastic way other than compacting things and making them faster and easier. That would be the only problem with the idea though. The time taking to load things would be difficult. There seems to be a lot of progress in compacting information though and maybe by the time we make this, things will be faster. Not that there already fast enough.

Dual Arms

This thought came to me because I wanted to create a better Mass Effect 2 universe. In Mass Effect there was a vehicle that you got to explore with but it was slightly repetitive to use it throughout the entire game. I think that for Mass Effect 3 the game creatures need to make it so you can buy new vehicles and upgrades for the vehicles and on untamed planets, instead of dropping probes you have to explore with your vetches and fight giant monsters. This made it so I needed to think of small equivalents to heavy mechs and since the Tourians created the Geth (mechanical sentient beings) they would not have many automated defences. I thought of a mech suit that kind of fits there culture (don't have a drawing of it). If the Geth were able to stop the mech then the Tourians would still need to be able to fire. So there hands could come out of the mech and still shoot. That was the see for the end result.
I have also been watching bleach a lot and it began me thinking, "How could I make a mask demon to properly be incorporated into a character and not be like Bleach?". While thinking of this Naruto came to mind, where his chakra covers him and then he gets the bones of the nine tailed fox over his body. I then began to play with the idea of a bone creature that "puppeteers" the person and integrates with him/her. I thought that a person could go between three stages. The first stage has bone wings that has bone fingers make up the interior of the wings. This is a reference to Sasuke's death mark form in naruto. His mask only coverts a small portion of his face and makes his eyes black with a glint of light. This stage is in reference with Mass Effect 2. The spine/tail are formed while the mask connects to the face and has spaces between the joints of the face. The arms are longer than the humans and through the holes of the bones his arms connect to the arms that were once wings. His arms can come out of the bone arms so he has four arms instead of two. That pose will look like Naruto in his six tailed form. The last form has the creature detach himself from the human host and control his body. The person has a dark spot where there face once was and the mask has a double set of jaws like a normal hollow except that the person can come out of the face to bite the person. Also for a person to get out of the possessed form they have to force themselves out of the mouth of the creature.

Hollow Mouth in Mouth
These ideas came from both Mass Effect 2, Bleach and Naruto and they kind of helped each other develop. What also could have inspired this thought is Aliens Because of the mech suits in there.

If Life was a Dream

A couple days ago, I was with one of my friends and we got to talking about some pretty philosophical stuff. At first I thought that he was realizing that we all live in our own kind of reality and that everyone only sees things in their own view; he wasn't. He was talking about how the world around him was created by a greater sense of his own consciousness and life would be like a dream, which would be strange. We talked about how he was really his consciousness in a dream or just a part of his personality and others around him were his other parts, or he wasn't anything like his personality and his personality was the rest of the world in different segments.

A couple days later, because I liked the conversation so much, I began to think of it again. The reason why I had been thinking about any of this in the first place was because a person a while back said that he felt I was a very philosophical person and that I try and find the reasons for things. It made me happy and I began to follow the idea but I think he mistook my morality for a sense of world understanding, but either way I will now try and prove him right. I want to one day say something that will be put into a book and have great meaning, but there are so much great quotes already out there that it's hard to trump them :(.

This want to be philosophical made me think about how the world could be created, specifically in a circular reasoning where the only reason that one factor is present is because the other factor is present and neither would be present if the other wasn't. Example, god willed himself to be created and so he did; But he couldn't create himself if he wasn't in existence? But because he willed it, he had to be created so he was able to bring himself to life. If you look at it backwards in time, god was created because of his will which supports the reason for his existence and therefore because he wanted it he got it and justified his own existence because he happened. I know it's hard to explain but what I am trying to say is he exists because he had to exist. That was the easiest example I could think of because god can bend reality, not because I believe him or am trying to prove his existence.

Ironically it ended up a couple days after that, I saw an anime that depicted an unusual way of how the world was created. It went along the lines of the world being created by information, and that one single individual had the ability to distort this information to what ever she wanted. It happens to be the friend of this average Joe who just wanted to try and be a friends with this out of this world crazy girl. Some experience three years ago in this girls life made her want to make contact with aliens, time travelers and espers. She ends up having a club that has all three of those individuals in her club, but she knows non the better. The point of this is that the world is almost like the software of a computer where anything can be changed. Here is a scene of the alien girl and her corrupt backup unit fighting to force change in the "god" girl. http://youtube.com/watch?v=9e3XoiR4fnA and http://youtube.com/watch?v=pj4OdTq_qnU&feature=related . This combines both my thought of my world creation and software as the world. I hope you put this under software because this could very much be true, and the reason I wrote this was because of the anime not my thought.

I began to think of the possibility that the world is made of thought and nothing tangible but an illusion of senses and shapes. I think that this is an easy way to interpret the beginning of existence. That is what all this build up produced, this one thought.

higurashi no naku koro ni rika suicide

This is a video I saw a couple days ago. I was searching anime top ten when I came across this. If anyone knows me, this is not the kind of thing they would see me watching but I actually like things that are to extremes. It made me want to trump that kind of suicide;  but even in my mind I could barely think of deaths that could be worse than that death. My mind kept on going back to a  man having his face sliding across a sword in the ground. He would have been already dead though and would be sliding very slowly. I then started to think of different positions that girl could have placed the knife to kill herself but I couldn't find a better position. She could have placed it on a table and slam her head into the knife but the movement to get there is too long. Also the way her eyes bulge out at you. I think that I enjoy when anime characters go crazy because it's always extreme. This later on got me into wanting to draw anime eyes which I have been experimenting and researching on. Anime is my new thing now. I just wish I could think of something as extreme as they do. Anyway, follow the link to see what I'm saying, and if you don't trust me just type  higurashi no naku koro ni rika suiside into youtube and you'll see what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmI8MPVevJQ
