The internet introduces you to some interesting people. Some of these people are the kinds that you’ll immediately know to avoid if you ever met them in real life. Others are just pretty cool, so you meet up with them. You have your sites like myspace and facebook, then you have your other sites with message boards/forums, chats, and any other type of internet . . . thing . . . where people who have a common interest get together and talk. The internet has been a big part in today’s culture, with things from e-terrorism (which I will most definitely not talk about) to classmates screaming out fads in the middle of class (which I will talk about =))


Being the birthchild of laziness and the internet, I’m probably too inclined to talk about this, but what is on the internet needs to stay on the internet, especially if it’s something like a ‘fad’ or some shit like that.

Example: This is Rickroll. This was made big by a site that will not be named.







When I heard someone singing this just for the fact that it was Rickroll, I wanted to punt babies. The two cultures (internet culture and real life culture, both of which are divided into different kinds of cultures, need to stay separated.)
Xmen 3 used one of these internet fads and made it extremely unfunny and lame.

The original.






The stupid.






A combination of funny and stupid.

Professors.....

It’s been some time since my last update. I have a few things to talk about, and they’ll go into their separate posts.

College life is taking its toll on everyone’s mind. The lazy students are now suffering from late work the bookworms are spazzing out from midterms and preparation for finals two months from now. While the students are going through their academic issues, you have professors and other faculty doing their jobs –teaching, researching, and working in the office.

Now, I’m just a freshman going into his second semester of college, but are the office faculty people supposed to be nicer than the professors? I’ve noticed that some professors are annoyingly apathetic. Sure, I get the whole thing about students having to be mature in college to handle themselves, but it’s absurd when you ask one a simple question that requires a simple answer, only to get a smartass, arrogant comment.

Example: Where can I find a bathroom?

Answer: Read the signs.

What the hell? I have to take a piss and the professor’s being a smartass. If he or she didn’t know where the bathroom was, then the best response would be to say “I don’t know.” Sure, professor’s have a ton of knowledge in their respective field, but why not show a little bit of sympathy for another person? It’s not very mature. I hate douchebags.

For the one I call Will.

The revisions. For everyone else, you can read them...they're just edits of my first three lengthy posts.

Nobody cares about your opinion on music. So please get the fuck away from me.

From my experience, music elitists tend to be friends. This allows them to have vocal opinions about you and anything you do for the most part. Music is an easy target for your music elitist friends since...you know...it's music. Sure, it's only an opinion from a friend, so you can take it to heart and listen to it. But what if you didn't ask for it? What if you're just sitting, chilling, and listening to music, and your friend comes up to you and asks what are you listening to. You tell him or you let him hear, and he acts like you just insulted him sort of. He's pretty much disgusted in your taste in music and goes off talking about music he listens to when you didn't even ask him what he thought.

Those people are music elitists if you were wondering. I'm sure you've met them at one point or another, and as I said, I have friends who are these kinds of assholes. I can be listening to rap (Example: pretty much anything made by or featuring Rick Ross). My friend, whom I'll nickname Steve, is saying shit like "You listen to this garbage? You fucking suck for having shitty tastes."

Me: "Fuck you. I didn't ask you and I don't give a damn about you or your opinions."

Steve: ";_; Well I'm right...I mean this is pretty bad stuff you're listening to. Hustlin' is annoying."

Me: "To you."

Steve: "To me, the one with the awesome taste in rap."

I'm a pretty open-minded guy. I'll sometimes ask him for recommendations and he does not disappoint much, but that attitude is what's truly annoying. And, even though I'm using him as an example, I'm acquainted with a number more and I've heard of people going through the same thing.

What's hilarious is what all of these elitists have in common - all of them would like to suck the dicks of artists that are under Indie labels.

The irony of all of this is that I'm listening to Nujabes at the moment.

C is for College. C is also for Change. Therefore, College is for Change.

Admit it. collegefolk...when you found out you were accepted to go to a university, you couldn't help but think about how you were going to do things new. Somewhere in that line of thinking, you were thinking about how you weren't going to make the same mistakes you did back in High School. I'm already succeeding partially in change, except I fucked up in a math class by making a mistake I haven't fallen for since middle school (enough about that.)

College is for getting out and doing new things. I know a few people who decided to stick with their high school friends off campus and have a little apartment for themselves. I respect that, truly, but they're simply friends...there's a reason why you don't live with your friends - you stay with them for too long and you end up hating them. You're supposed to visit your friends. All these dudes are doing are just being afraid to get out to do new things. Get out. College is a new time. A new life. I've been doing great so far, and one of the people I was talking about bitched to me about how it sucks that he sees the same people every day. The point I'm trying to make here is that you gotta let go of the past. Sure, he could solve his problem by just going out more, that's a bit more risky than it is just staying on campus and leaving your door open while you're in your dorm chilling.

Accept and welcome change. It builds character by increasing your life experiences. You'll become a more interesting person if you do. And yeah, I know this isn't the tone an Angry Black Man would typically use, but here's a picture of me at the moment. You can tell the rage will simply not go away.

This gen of games = American-made. This gen of games=suck.

After reading a classmate's blog on Blizzard and why it sucks, I was reminded of why I think of this generation of games and why I think of a shit I took when doing so. What the hell happened to games? Where are my Japanese games? I own a Wii as well, which is where I get my true fun game fix. Resident Evil 4 on the Wii is one of the best games ever fucking made and all of Capcom's employees should get hourly fellatio for deciding to use the Wiimote in such a simple and fun way. Here are some videos of the Japanese awesomeness that's RE4:


Here's another video from youtube, but the guy disabled embedding. His video is fucking sick.

RE4 was previously made for the Gamecube and PS2, with the Wii version getting the graphics of the Gamecube version and the extras in the PS2 version. Luckily, RE5 will be coming out for the 360 and PS3, so go Capcom! Thanks for those good Japanese games.

Why do I praise Japanese games so much? It's because the games aren't all about flash and excessive amounts of badass violence. American developers have a trend in making games with high polygon counts (ex: Gears of War). They also pretty much make shooters and RPGs (The RPGs are most often kickass like Knights of the Old Republic). Some American games lack substance majorly, while some are just fucking amazing like Half Life and Bioshock.

Japanese games are extremely weird for the most part, but the Eastern devs really do try new things. Really, what the hell was Nintendo thinking with Mario? Sega with Sonic? Nobody knows, but those games were extremely fun and are still fun with the exception of Sonic.

And yes, I am waiting for Final Fantasy XIII.

I has an idea.

Nevermind for now.
