<B> Damn, Gen-Chan, that's harsh.(not to mention ungrateful, the man's been watching out for you for quite some time an' all...) What would your Master think (you know who I'm talking about) about you referring to an Ancestor in such a tone??? (check your family tree, me buck.) </B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><img src="http://www.kyokipress.com/images/icons/shocked.gif"> Nani?!? Kaichi?!? An ances...no. <i>No.</i> I refuse to believe it. It cannot be true. My family have traced our ancestry back to the 12th century A.D. and I don't recall having seen his name anywhere in the histories. He is not a direct ancestor, at any rate.<P>And why is it so harsh?!? In another post, he said he was going to kill me, just for the heck of it. Isn't <i>that</i> kind of harsh?!? Especially since he's actually <i>doing</i> it!!<P>

I think you should be more grateful that your story's coming out at all, when so many others die horribly in obscurity, you should be grateful to Kaichi-San for his patient, careful, detailed, chronicle of your life and works, rather than sulking in the manner of a spoiled brat because you blame him for your misfortune. Perhaps if you were more conscientous about your behavior, and more concerned with how your words and actions reflect on those who came before, you would not be suffering so much.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well, I <i>am</i> grateful for that. But he said he was going to <i>kill</i> me. Should I just say "ha ha, okay! Do whatever you want! I don't mind!!" My Sensei would be upset with me if I let people abuse me, like that. Kaichi keeps claiming that I do these things to myself, but if that's true, then why is he saying things like that to me?? I don't understand.<P>

<B> (Of course, then again, I'm the descendent of people who painted themselves blue and slaughtered Roman soldiers by the basketful, pictish and celtic barbarians that drank the blood of their dead... not much room to talk here.) I think you should count yourself lucky that you have such a strong voice in among the world of the deep past... and that your people, at least, know exactly where they're from. It makes it far simpler to know where you are going.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Your ancestors painted themselves blue and killed Romans? Hmm...that would be, maybe Old World Scotland? I like history. I'm not as good on the really ancient stuff, though, as I am on more recent (like within the last 1000 years) history. <P>I'm still having a hard time grasping how people in the <i>past</i> can read about me, when I haven't even been born yet. It sounds too weird-dream-like. I'm ready to wake up from this weirdness, I think.<P><img src="http://www.kyokipress.com/images/icons/sad.gif"><P>Genjiro
