Quote.

"... when a man hears the same things said about him often enough, he begins to believe them. Tell a child often enough that it is worthless and beneath contempt and it will start to believe such a vile statement is true. Tell a man he is a hero, a giant amongst men, and he will believe that too, thinking himself above all others."

I'm doing just FUCK YOU!

The following rant is brought to you by medication-induced craziness.
you have been warned

The phrase "[and] how are you doing?" has become far too commonly used, and has been butchered. For a phrase that is meant to inquire to someone's personal well being, it is now as commonplace as "hello". When someone says "How are you doing" the standard response is "fine, how are you?"; neither party expecting a real response, its just a formality. To actually inquire how someone is 'doing' you have to be creative with your phrasing, because synonyms of "how are you doing" imply the exact same issue due to the commonplace of the greeting. So, with that knowledge saying "how are you doing" is about the same as going "fuck you" in passing - each implies a lack of caring for the other person.

So, next time you pass someone just say "Hello". Save "how are you doing" for a time when you actually care how the other person is feeling.

The Reason.

The reason for the Twilight Phenomenon (as explained by VGcats)


[BY THE WAY: I approve of true blood. It's a pretty decent show, about pretty lore-correct vampires. Vampires burn up in sunlight, they dont fucking sparkle.]

I want!

Fanexpo is rolling about soon, August 28-30, and I need to gather me some monies for some wicked swag. The problem with that is: I don't have a job to get monies for wicked swag. That doesn't stop me from dreaming...

Among the things I plan on getting there, first and foremost is some new clothing. Since the writes of both LFG and Least I Could Do are going to be there (same company actually) so will their swag.


100% Getting [if they have them]:




Want:





It really sucks that Red vs Blue aren't going to be there again this year, I wanted to get a new hat, and some new shirts... too bad. I also plan on getting such illustrious things as: Some new stickers for my laptop, hopefully some more hellsing, depending on the price the Evengelion boxset, possibly a patch or 2 for my satchel, an attractive skantally clad woman (possibly of the Sailor Moon or Final Fantasy variety), and probably some other neat swag... of course I most likely won't have the money... but oh well.

From this day onwards...

Any piece of technology in my possession will get the name "skynet" (if nameable).

My laptop needs a new sticker...

When your scared...

Something illogical has occurred to me. When someone is scared of the dark, or noises at night, or big scary things, they hide under their covers. What doesn't make sense is it is actually much darker underneath the covers, since no light at all is able to get in. Also: with covers draped over your head how would you be able to see said horror that would be sneaking up on you to eat your flesh and defile your body.

It is all very illogical. However, that doesn't stop me from cowering beneath my covers whenever I get scared. Perhaps I shall have to consult a psychiatric specialist to find out the reason people do such a silly thing...

In the mean time I shall suggest a better means of stemming off late night fears. Get a firearm of some sort (preferably a pistol) and hide it under your pillow. Let those monsters sneak up on you!... instead of a firearm you could go with a big metal object... if you don't have one of those go for a little metal object. If you are without any of the above I suggest hiding under your bed. If you can't hide under your bed I suggest tactically withdrawing under the covers, where of course you will be much safer.

If you don't have any of those, my suggestion is... um... well that would mean your poor and sleeping outside, and in that case you have more to worry about than flesheating monsters - try hobo's, serial killers, mongoose, chickens, rabid house cats, and axe wielding murders.

Too true...

I don't even need to blog about my angst with the internet when my good friend Sohmer (okay not my good friend... more of a guy-who-writes-web-comics-that-I-read) sums it up in such a better way:

"I've talked before about the demise of written language, largely due to the internet. With symbols, shorthand and 'leet speak' so common online, I can only shudder in horror at the thought of how future generations will write to each other.

What's become even more disturbing to me, however, is how lazy we've gotten about communicating. Allow me to give you an example.

It's John's birthday today and being the close friends that you are, you seek to wish him a very happy birthday. To accomplish this feat, you will:

A )Write on his facebook Wall
B )Send him a twitter message, never forgetting the @
C )Compose a MySpace Private Message
D )Send him an E-mail
E )Head on over to Hallmark.com, to grab one of their many clever birthday e-cards
F )Mention him in your next Blog post
G )Comment on his LiveJournal post
H )Send a Txt Message
I )Pick up the Phone and Call him

Be honest with yourself, which option did you choose?

All of us, myself included, have gotten lazy. Technology may have enabled it, but we made the choice, and we continue to make that choice. As time goes on, I suspect that the pick up the phone option won't even appear in your thought process.

What we're doing is creating a society that is so impersonal, that our children will feel more comfortable typing on a keyboard in the privacy of their own home, as opposed to direct human interaction. That's not a pleasant though, to me.

Do me a favor, won't you? Next time you need to get in touch with someone, whatever the reason, either pick up the phone or go see them face to face.

It makes a difference."

It's like poetry, just more awesome... and doesn't rhyme... and doesn't really match format.... actually it's nothing like poetry...

Yahoo... raises more questions.

Recently I have become addicted to yahoo answers. I enjoy helping people that fail at using google, in fact my info page even has a fun new quote: "If people knew how to use google, there wouldn't be a yahoo answers section for video & online games".

Obviously that is the section that I stick to, since I can be the most helpful there. The neat thing about yahoo answers is you get points for answering questions, and more points for getting the BEST answer (and it makes you feel like a hero). Now, I've been using it for 3 days, and have answered 41 questions, received 3 best answers, and 36 of the questions are still open (so I might get best answer for them still, and most likely will).

Its fun, but obviously since I'm blogging about it, it has its downside. That actually isn't the stupid people that can't use google, they make me giggle. When I can spend 5 seconds googling something, and copy and past the answer and the url (as my source), its funny. It is the people with HORRIBLE spelling, grammar, questions, or... well... not questions. To show my frustration with some of these people:

i am a human warroir and i like my warroir a lot. but a lot of people say that the warroir sucs.and i think i want to become a death knight but i want too be a waroir. im just wondering if the death knight is better than the warior or r they the same. i really want to be a waroir but people say it sucs.and i was just thinking when blizzard makes a new expansion pack they might make the waroir better. so my main question is the waroir or death knight better.please tell me the differences. and also i really like my waroir im in lvl 16 and i am thinking of becoming a deathknight.but want to be a waroir forever.but people say they suc. i will give u 10 points.

See? WHAT THE HELL?! Usually they aren't that bad, but there are a lot of times where I have to figure out what the person is asking before I can even answer their question, sometimes I just give up.

I stick to answering questions in the video & online game section (which, I guess is where the stupid people are, damn 1337 kids and their hibbity hop spelling for "u" and "r" and "ne") but that doesn't mean I don't go check out other sections for a laugh, for an upchuck, whichever. For instance:

"I had unprotected sex today, stupid i no, but i got my period yesterday, will i still get preganant?" - that means she was on her period while having sex... unprotected sex.... /barf.

[paraphrased, trust me, you didn't want to see the original] "oh man!!!! what do I do!!! my brother just found out I've been cutting myself. He just went down to tell my dad!!! What do I do?!?!!?! I'm so scared, omg" - ya, you get the jist.

"can I get pregnant from giving a guy [oral sex]" - hehehehehehe
