The Truth: Elmo

Elmo from Sesame Street. Who wouldn't recognize this famous character. Some say he's cute, adorable, loving and so on. Elmo earned a reputation by being one of the main characters of the show. Red, furry and small, he was Ideal for a kids show. Elmo has many traits that young kids can look up to him for. That's why rarely can you see a little kid not knowing who's Elmo. Heck, even adults know him.















I really don't know who's the blue guy.


But this doesn't mean Elmo here's perfect. For Instances, McElmo here refers himself to the third person. Who actually does that? You don't refer yourself with your own name now do you? And his laugh, his devious laugh. Despicable. Maybe some of you are thinking? What's your damn point? Well I will be unveiling the truth about Elmo. The dark truth that will make your pants drop twice, or even more.

Brace yourselves, or maybe not.

Elmo is actually... THE EMO KING!

Elmo's name Is just an encrypted message that hides the fact that's he Is Emo. Elmo - l = Emo. Coincidence? I think not. Why do you think he's so furry, red and has an orange nose. He's the epitome of emotional disorder. Not convinced? The pictures below are solid proof of King Elmo's real self.


























As you can see, the Elmo on the left Is the fake, happy and smiling Elmo. On the right Is the actual Elmo who slits his wrists, wears Gothic clothing and has hair covering one side of his face.
Holding a knife on his left hand, King Elmo relieves his pain by making himself bleed. How typical of him to do so. And Elmo's so emo, he doesn't even wear pants. Being King Elmo, he roams Into the restrooms of buildings, searching and scouting for new accomplices, who maybe In the loo.

Further proof can be found In this video. Tickle Me Elmo Is a popular toy. Tickle Me Emo Is the next best thing.




And yes, he Is wearing pants. I guess he likes to go commando at times. It's not my fault I can't predict whether Elmo wears pants or not. That's like predicting the weather. I certainly can't predict the weather, moreover Elmo's pants.


So don't be fooled by this deceiving character. Especially when or If you are watching Sesame Street, be sure to look out for his crown and his hypothetical pants that he Is not wearing. The world Is a dark place. It's even darker with the presence of King Elmo, the Emo King.

Before I end the post, I have to say,

Cookie Monster > Elmo. Cause Cookie Monster Is teh bomb... and likes cookies... and Is a monster. So screw you Elmo fans. Cookie Monster Is so much cooler.

And yeah, before I forget anything, Happy Easter!

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

Ichi Rittoru no Namida or 1 Litre of Tears in English. I watched the series about a week ago. And It's still so very fresh In my mind. But exactly what kind of show is this? With the title 1 Litre of Tears, It's very clear that It's a sad one. And It Is. It aired In Japan In 2005. Three years and I only knew about this show like a month ago. Why all the fuss? Because this show Is worth your time and money and more of your time ... and ... money. But seriously, the show Is worth the watch. Take It from me, I'm no less of a drama fan than a fat guy but this drama In particular made me watch till the end.

Basically the story's about this 15 year old girl, Aya Ikeuchi, who somehow developed an Incurable disease called Spinocerebellar Degeneration/Ataxia. Imagine, a 15 year old, diagnosed with such a disease. The disease progresses slowly, first having difficulties to walk and talk. Then up to a stage where the body can't move that freely and walking and talking Is virtually Impossible. Despite that, Aya didn't give up her life, Instead enjoying every single minute of her life to the fullest, writing a diary of her with the disease till the age of 25, when she passed.






















As you can see, the girl In the wheelchair Is Aya. Surrounding her (clockwise) is Rika, Hiro, Ako, Haruto, and her parents, Shioka and Mizuo. Haruto happened to be the love Interest of Aya. The dude can really cry and act.

It didn't help that the drama was based on a real life story of Aya Kitou. It made It even more heartbreaking. The cast selection was top notch. Having a Erika Sawajiri as the role of Aya was like Icing on the cake. Her role made the show even more tear dropping. I mean, you wouldn't want to see a pretty girl suffering now would you? There are 11 episodes all together. Episode 1 till 10 was fine, nothing too sad, but during the last episode, 11, I honestly say It made me jerked tears. No kidding. It was damn sad.
























The diary.

The music choice was perfect, It fitted the scenes so well, I could almost cry just listening to the songs. Okay not really, but It was really good. Very good Indeed. It suits the series excellently, Only Human by K, Konayuki and Sangatsu Kokonoka by Remioromen. Inspiring would be best said about the songs. They never fail to remind me about Aya and her struggle to live and blend In Into society, especially during the scenes In which Konayuki is played in piano. Those scenes will trigger your tear duct to release your tears. True that.







1 Litre of Tears Is a heartwarming and touching drama. The show may even change your view on life. It's just so beautiful. I don't know how else to describe It. It really shows the Importance of human life and how lucky we are just to live. Long story short, just watch It. Download It or watch It from some website or whatever. But watch It.
