June 7th, 1942: Edward Hopper completes his best known painting, the seminal Nighthawks. When asked by a Chicago Tribute reporter about the philosophical meaning behind the diner having no clearly visible exits Hopper responded, “Shit. Fuck. I did it again. Goddamnit. Fuck. Not again. I did it again. Shit.” and slammed his hat on his leg.

Resolutions

I don't usually like doing things like New Year's Resolutions, because they've always felt either so intangible that they're hard to measure, or they're conclusions I reach just by doing what I was working hard on anyway.

Last year, 2017, I accomplished a lot.  I completed my Master's Degree at the start of January, I quickly landed an emergency replacement teaching job through the end of the 2016-17 school year, and after a summer full of second-place finishes, anxiety, and nervousness, I currently find myself in a sustainable career position teaching at a great school.

However, when I look back at myself through 2017, something was missing.  I wasn't happy.  I was a tornado of nerves, anxiety, fear, depression, and just straight up misery.  I've been told I hide it well, but there were a few cracks in the armor here and there, and I know it cost me at least one friendship along the way.  I also get more insular and distance myself from people the more I notice myself doing this kind of garbage, and while some people have been oh so keen to point it out along the way, trust me, I know when I'm doing it, and I know it's not what I want to be doing.

This year, 2018, I want to change that.  I want to do a few things for myself, especially now that I have such luxuries as job stability, to be happy.  It's gonna be rough sailing getting myself back into better habits for that, because habits are hard to break, but that's the goal for this year.  

That's the Resolution: Be Happy.

Why Magical Girls Are Never Attacked During A Tranformation

As some of you might already have guessed, I’m a fan of Japanese girl idols. One of the many, many idol groups in existence today in Japan is NMB48, a Osaka-based spin-off group of the (in)famous AKB48. NMB has a weekly show that’s surprisingly entertaining as well as educational called NMB to Manabu-kun, in which the members of NMB and a few comedians listen to guest lectures by experts in various fields.

Back on May 15th, the theme of the episode was pataphysics/the science of sci-fi. One of the topics of the lecture held by university professor Yanagita Rikao was the age-old question of “WHY ARE MAGICAL GIRLS NEVER ATTACKED WHILE TRANSFORMING???”

This was his answer, based on the magical girl series Futari wa Pretty Cure.

Question: The transformation scenes in Pretty Cure are very long, so why don’t the bad guys attack the girls in the meantime?

“Even when I was little, I was thinking ‘Hey! Attack them now!’”

“I found this odd as well, so I watched the transformation scene many times. And what I noticed is, when the Pretty Cures yell ‘Dual Aurora Wave!’ and transform, a rainbow-colored column of light shoots up from the ground, going BOOM!”

“And then the Pretty Cures levitate, and go up into the air. Based on this, I believe the protagonists of Pretty Cure are being held up in the air by the power of light.”

“When we think of light, we usually think it heats up things or lights up things. But in reality, light has the power to hold up things as well.”

“When the sun is beating down on us in the summer, the human body is being pressed downwards by the sun beams with a force of 2/100,000g.”

“But this is only about a one-hundred of the weight of a mosquito, so no matter how hot it is, we don’t feel that sunlight is heavy.”

“So that means the light holding them up must be extremely strong. If we assume that the two Pretty Cures each weigh about 45kg and do some calculations…”

“It means the light during the transformation must have the energy of 2,100,000,000kW per 1m2.”

“While the entirety of power that Japan is capable of generating is only 100,000,000kW.”

“So they’re using 21 TIMES the amount of energy the whole of Japan can generate.”

“So what would happen if a bad guy jumped in to try to sabotage their transformation?”

“He would EVAPORATE INSTANTLY.”

“DEATH AWAITS ANYONE WHO DARES TO DISRUPT A PRETTY CURE TRANSFORMATION.”

“So this means the best thing to do would be to transform close to any bad guys.”

“Yes. They are the strongest while they transform, and are practically invincible.”

When I’m out sick and decide to check my school email

[themuselessone]

No joke, not only do I find myself guilty of this from time to time, but I see it happening around me a ton as well.

Take a break, take a breath, there's too much good in this world to surround yourself with things you loathe, especially if they're things you do not directly control.

If you need to feel like you're doing something, create. Use your energies constructively, come up with something you can find the inherent joy in, and throw yourself headfirst into it. Be passionate. Be loud. Be yourself.

Become your own happiness, don't dwell on what others are doing that get you down. Life's too short.

One more bit of adulting advice

Don’t hate-read. You know what I’m talking about. Are there blogs or people who automatically make you clench your jaw and roll your eyes? Or always trigger a reaction of “Oh dear angels and spirits, not them/this AGAIN?”  Stop reading their stuff. Don’t seek it out, no matter how much ranty entertainment you feel it may be. 

Hate-reading is a drain of your time and energy.

(Note: I am posting this as a REMINDER TO MYSELF, because I fall into that trap, too.)
