Chapter 12

It never cease to amaze me how easily nisan and the rest of the pop world accept the sudden addition of a band member to their band and their fan just accepted it as if Bad Luck is always a four member band. The same could not be said for the Go world. Three week after I return from the short escape after the tournament, the newspaper is still hounding me before and after each of my match held in the association. Honestly, is not my fault that they did not read the paperwork fully, I had clearly circle female on the form so is not my fault that everyone just assume and presented me as a male.

I was most certainly not trying to hide anything that everyone seem to speculate me of doing. The worst and most popular rumor floating in the older generation of gossipmonger is that I purposely hid my gender in order to get closer to Touya in a romantic sense to procreate next generation of super Go player, for god's sakes we're still in our teens! While the other theory mostly popular with the female Go player was that I purposely hid my gender so I can play Touya on a equal ground. There is just no end to the madness. The other rumors and speculation was just as outrageous to a point I stop paying attention to them all.

The one time that I tried to comment that their theory was ridiculous, everyone within hearing range just assume that I was trying to hide my non existing romantic relationship with Touya. Touya the ass did not bother to deny any of wild rumors and the entire thing just roll faster down the steep hill.

At present, the only people I can find solace in is with nisan's band, if this madness continues is very likely that I'm going to have to give up any form of life in the Go circuit. Luckily, K san or other band member is still helping me with each escape be it for my schedule game or teaching games. They seem to find the entire thing amusing, though Seguchi san and K san seem to be very keen on the idea of me giving up Go and become a permanent member of the band. The other member was silent on that front letting me decided on my own, but their eyes seem to be in agreement as well.

This is turning into a bigger and bigger mess. Is all Mizuki's fault!

Though I have to admit, the past three week that I spent so closely with Bad Luck made me realize why I fell in love with music in the first place. If my 12 year old self had not meet Sai, I do not think I have could of have had stay away any longer after the Mizuki incident. Music is an irreplaceable part of me, just like Go. I don't want to give up either, but if the things continue as it have been I might not have a choice.

Vote of No Confidence

By KoO

More than two centuries ago, people of United State armed themselves against the crown, united and fought for independence with their lives. It is through the countless bloody victories of our ancestors that gaved us the independences we take for granted. Along with the gift of freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and petition. The land had became hopes and dreams of people around the world.

When our founding fathers created and signed The Declaration of Independence they laid down their lives to fight for the their beliefs. Wanting nothing more than the betterment of the states and people. Their hard won victories from the government of dictatorship was a messy and bloody affair. Not much different from the current affair of the United State today.

To give a single men so much power is no fault but that of our own. Fault for not better educating ourselves in the political running of the government. Fault for not bothering to exert our power to vote for a competent leader. Fault for ascending him to power when there is doubt in the voting process resulting in his victory.

It has been a month since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of United State. Countless accusations and facts have and is being covered by the media. Countless protest have been assemble against Trump's throne in the White House wasting hundreds, thousands in tax payer's money for his own estates protection.

When Trump's agenda is being call into question his first response is to deny or ignore the question. Better yet, degrading anyone who dares to question him. Such is not the action of a leader, or even that of an grown men. For the past month his actions in front of the media and his action as a president reminds me that of a young child, throwing a temper tantrum when he does not get his way.

Watching how other country political leader responds to his action is painful, and I feel sorry for those in power who have to interact with him daily. For they have to be polite to his whims or they might risk war, or the threat of it anyways. Each day, I wait with baited breath, to see which country took one too many offense of Trump's words, and ignorance that would result in war. War which we cannot afford as we have yet to recover from the last two that we partook in.

As each day pass in the Trump's administration the country seems to fall deeper into political civil turmoil. A good men would of have step down when his election victory was being called into question.

A selfish men would of have ignored the doubts of the people to further their own political agenda in the seat of power.

Trump have been in power long enough to show that his action is not for the betterment of the people. His childish temper tantrum is a disgrace to our founding father. It is time to rid our country this blight in our history before our children have to suffer for our inaction. It is time that our Representative in house serve our president with a vote of no confidences.
