Cartoons

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth."
― Alphonse Elric

For a while now, ive watched cartoons, i buy the Dvds and sit there with some type of food and drink and get engrossed into them. its pretty entertaining, but ive noticed that ive stoped watching "Ed, Edd, and Eddy" and am watching stuff like "Cowboy Beebop" and "Full Metal Alchemist" these cartoons seem so deep, its almost weird, like "Trigun" the characters are so disturbed and have almost human like characteristics like sorrow and pain.

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here. But I still choose to believe in its principle: that all things do come at a price. That there's an ebb, and a flow, a cycle. That the pain we went through did have a reward and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise between my brother and me - a promise that someday, we'll see each other again.
— Alphonse Elric

its pretty cool. but sometimes i just say fuck the drama and sadness and shit, and just kick back and watch me some Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Southpark. :)
