Kiriban!!!

So last night, pilosopogyno reblogged one of my older posts and like what you would expect when someone as influential as him reblogs one of your posts, you’ll get a follower and note influx. Well notes aren’t really a big deal to me, and so is the number of followers I have but I think this is still something note worthy. Currently, I’ve got exactly 456 followers. Now that might not be as grandiose as all of your 9.18 x 109 followers but that’s something I can’t even hope to achieve by relying on all my chunky, random text posts that wouldn’t even make a seven-folds of sense even if you tried so hard to comprehend it. So right, despite being someone who doesn’t look much into the number of followers I get, I think 456 is a nice kiriban. Incase you don’t know what a kiriban is, it’s a japanese term popularized around on Deviantart some time ago. It’s more or less a view goal. According to a journal entry on DA I once read, it means a “nice place to stop” or a “well-cut number”. To put it short, getting 100 views, 1000 views, 10000 views or any number that ends with zero, are all kiribans when you achieve them. They aren’t limited to zero-ending numbers though. Numbers that has nice patterns like for example, 456789 or 151515 views could also be called a kiriban. Now as for Tumblr, since views aren’t really given that much thought, the only element you can call a kiriban on would be the notes, your number of posts, and of course, your number of followers. And that’s what I’m talking about here.

Now before I continue, let me make it clear that I’m not your daily follower whore, asking for promotions and whatnot. I couldn’t care less about the number of followers I get, save for this post. That symbolical representation of the amount of followers I have has as much worth as a bundle of fallen hair stuck in your bathroom’s drain. Now that might sound really rude but forgive me, that’s what I really feel from the bottom of my heart. Despite that, this doesn’t mean I don’t want people following me. I actually value each and every one I get. Number matters more when they’re seen as individuals after all and not as a group of sticks on the tally board. It’s just that I don’t see the point of going gaga over getting more followers that wouldn’t even lay an eyelash on a word of what I write here. Even so, I still think this would be a nice excuse/reason to write one of those “get to know me better” posts that everyone’s making. So right! Behold, my dear friends, let me let you get to know me better in this post— that is if you want to. That is the sole reason why I’m writing post! Huehuehuehue!

Ehem, anyway, there isn’t much point in describing my self anatomically or explaining  each and every strand of those double helices specifying the compositions of amino acid that I have. So more or less, this would just be a description of what you could expect from me on this blog. Though, I’d really love you if you didn’t expect too much from me since I disappoint people alot. I don’t want you undergoing that misery. I’ve disappointed enough people to last me a life time.

So yeah, to begin it, I am Adreng and I’m a 20 year-old guy who spends too much time infront of my computer. I blog about most of my monotonous life style and a lot of what’s going on in that dark, null, void space we call “the back my head”. If you’re looking for a nice place to find reblog-worthy posts of girls in denim shorts or One Direction photosets, then I’m sorry, you’re on the wrong blog. I don’t have them here. What I have here are random musings about trivial stuff that my life gets in contact with. These  random thoughts are something that even my future self wouldn’t even be able to make heads or tails. So if in any case one of my posts makes you want to throw up becuase of its profanity, please, I beg you, just ignore it. I’m also, by the way, inlove with curious words and would love to get rare vocabularies added to my word lists. I also use the words, technically, however, moreoever, by the way, anyway, and meh/heh a lot so please bare with it. I love using similes, metaphors and weird, twisted analogies, too. In addition to those, I also post some anime stuff that I come across with over the interwebs. Though they might not be your type of shows, if I say it’s something worth watching, then you should at least consider watching it. If you try to back read far enough, you’ll see that I’ve ridiculed and critiqued some animes before so I could say I’m not being biased about it for that matter.

Every once in a while, I post 2-lined jokes that would get you face-palming from corniness. Often, you could also see me posting a quote I just came up with and that’s totally irrelevant to anything in your life or the universe. Even more often, you’ll catch me delving into controversial issues and throwing in rants and personal opinions about the matter. Now if you ever get to see one of those, let me warn you, those are not absolute. As I have said, they are personal opinions and shouldn’t be taking you off your hook. DO NOT, in any case, let me destroy anything you firmly believe on. Oh, while we’re on that, too, I might as well say that I’m not entirely a believer of Catholism. SO CBCP and the catholic church? No offense but I can’t get myself to believe people who treats wooden statues hanging in front of their altar and beaded necklaces as something similar to God. That doesn’t mean I don’t believe in God though. I do believe there’s an omnipotent and omniscient(even omnipresent) being that’s watching us rush towards our damnation. It’s just that I don’t see Him/Her in the same light as the church does.

On another note, my existence’s worth here on Tumblr is as much as a slug caught in a salt rain in ancient times. I’m not one of your famous guys and my interaction rate with my followers and the people I follow is as low as the Earth’s outer core. So if you’re planning to get me to promote you, forget it. I don’t hold that much influence over my dashboards, much less on my follower lists. So right. Promotions? They can wear three jet packs all at once and fly around Saturn’s orbit, spinning and rotating in retrograde for all I care. You wouldn’t get anything valuable for me. This is a warning with red flashing lights. Turn around while you still have the chance. 

Lol, just kidding. But no, seriously, I don’t think getting me to promote anyone is a good idea because of reasons. So forget it. Anyway, I also post occasional artsy stuff whenever the urge to draw gets me. They’re not anything grand though so again, don’t expect that much. As for themes(as you would know, I make themes), you can catch me talking about random webly, codely stuff. While I can’t exaclty say I could help you if you asked me to make you a theme(for free), I could at least help you and lead you towards the right route if you’re willing to. 

All in all, I’m just one of those blog’s that would catch your attention at first glance but would slowly lose its luster after a couple of pages, just like fireworks fading and losing its glow as it rush towards the Earth again. Even if you find something interesting on this blog that’s worth talking about or making a deal out of, I can’t promise you that I’ll be able to provide you anything substantial or quench your thirst for knowledge. 

But then again, thanks for being here and letting me into your Dashboards. Even after those stuff I said in the beginning of this post about followers, I still think all of you are awesome(though I haven’t met all of you yet— or any of you for that matter). While you may not matter to me as a numerical value in general, your existence individually is something that I couldn’t wish to disappear even if the sun get’s abducted by evil, tofu aliens. 

Soooo, that’s it! If you want to know more about me, you can always visit my /about page. While there aren’t real information about me there and despite being halfway done, I’d still love if you came by to see it since I spent a couple of eternities building it. Ehem, right! Again thank you. So to end this, since you bothered to let me come in to your dear dashboards, just as anime folks would say when someone receives them in their houses, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
