I realized today that the oscar meyer wiener song is an atrocity. I mean honestly, it's promoting cannibalism and shallow adoration. Are we saying to our children "change yourself so people will love you, even if it's only until they eat you." Who wouldn't want to be loved for 30 seconds and then have their head bitten off? I mean you might as well wish you were a praying mantis. At least they get laid before the female bites the males head off.

The word hello. It's an interesting word because it doesn't seem to fit into any categorized area of the written language. It's not a subject, or a verb. Not an adjective or an adverb or a pronoun. So what is it? I came to the conclusion that it is an otomatopeia. It has no place in the formal written language. As soon as you use the word hello, outside of referring to dialogue, the piece of writing becomes informal, as it is speaking in the second person. Since it can only be used when referring to dialogue, it seems more like a sound, then a word. Like bang. Therefore, the closest definition would be, an otomatopeia.

Where did slipping on a banana peel come from? I mean they're not slippery. There is a slight amount of banana residue on the peel, but not enough to cause someone to fall really. And even if someone did fall, who was the first that inspired the cartoon trend? Was it Disney? Or perhaps it went back to the old charlie chaplin films.

What kind of name is Garfunkel?

Morgan Freeman is the most flexible actor I've ever seen. I mean he can play any role, from God to a prison convict. If it weren't for the amazingly large nose smashed on his face like a lump of clay, he'd be my hero. As for right now, my hero is still Socrates, not the philosopher, the lawn gnome.

Ironman wasn't a superhero, he was just rich. At least Batman could still kick ass, cuz he was kick ass. I mean if Tony Stark is out of the suit, he's helpless, but if Batman's without his gear he can still put up a damned good fight. If he could only kick the obsession with teenage boys named Robin, he'd be good.

Wolverine, now there's a hero. Although they really overo his tortured, I forgot who I am, kinda attitude. Yeah yeah, we get it, he was brainwashed. There was a wolverine clone actually, some guy in the old Bloodstrike comics produced by image. They do Spawn and GI Joe now. GI Joe, that was a damned good comic. The show was cool, but to saturday morningey. They couldn't do anything risque with the license. But the comics, they actually have a wicked storyline, although I think they overdo the ninjas. And that takes a lot, I mean you really can't overdo ninja's, they're just too cool. In fact I saw a 'banned' commercial where there were pro soccer players battling ninjas. It was a nike commercial, and absolutely awesome. I wish it was still on tv.

Pirates of Dark Water. That was a cool show. I never got to see many episodes of it, and I really wish I had, because pirates, in any instance, whether ghost or real, are awesome, absolutely awesome. You can't get anymore bad-ass then a pirate gang. Except maybe if they had a ninja. And a cyborg. And Yoda, with two lightsabers. Yeah, that'd be cool.

It was brought to my attention that there is something just as bad ass as pirates. Nemesis, from Resident Evil 2. I mean he's a walking corpse/muscle/leather hybrid toting a humongous frigging chain gun. He is bad ass. But he doesn't get the ladies like Pirates do, so he's still second to them.

GTA MUTHAF@CKA! 10 POINTS!

The new GTA game looks awesome. I mean I've heard that San Andreas is huge. Not only that, you do driveby's as a gang, and you can drive a bmx, just damned cool.

Exactly when did rap become cool? I mean our whole late 90's early 2000's seem to be revolving around Rap, and R&B, and the ghetto style is a huge hit. Do people not realize what the ghetto means? You have these daughters of rich ruburban yuppies dressing up 'ghetto', but they're loaded with cash. They're paying to look poor. I mean the reason why ghetto style looks the way it does is because it originates from the ghetto, from the poor rundown parts of society. Why would anyone want to be from the ghetto? Everyone in the Ghetto dreams of getting out, and then you have a large majority of people today, dreaming that they're in. I'm going to start my own line of clothes. It'll be called Hobo Style. It'll be really cheap, because most of the clothing line consists of garbage bags and trash, but you'll look really poor, like you really came off the ghetto streets. It should be a hit.

Robin Williams is also a great actor. He can do any part as well. I mean his psycho in the movie Insomnia, I think that's what it was called, was really well done. And that movie where he went to Hell to rescue his wife, I can never remember the name, was excellent. I really want to find it, I only got to watch it once when I was like 12. HIs stand up is amazingly funny too.

My desk is a mess. I really need to clean it.

People with no internal monologue are simultaneously funny, and extremely annoying. It's like a monkey dressed up in funny clothes, poking you in the eye. You want to laugh at it, but you also want to punch it in the head.

Morrowind is a huge game. I mean there is so much damned stuff in it. There's an incredible amount of detail, so much terrain to cover, and there's so many people and buildings and items. It's incredible. What's even more amazing. It's on one disk! It amazes me. Like freelancer, how do they get such a massive game on one cd? And why do other games like Baldur's gate or Diablo 2, which is in third person and not nearly as big, have to be on 4 or 5 cds. I can see maybe because of Diablo's immense amount of items, but a lot of that is random, and can just be assigned an algorithm to take care of the item generation. Of course it also has random level maps, that'd probably do it. But Baldur's Gate, why is that so big?

Shigeru Miyamatu frustrates me. Up until the GC came out I was a loyal NIntendo fan. Bought every system. Bought a crap load of games, subscribed to nintendo power, caught em all. But I think his business skills have gone. I ean before, when there was no real competition Miyamato could be as innovative, or different as he wished. He didn't have to think about practicality, it was just games, and how games could be fun. And he did it well, because Shiggy (My pet name for him) is a visionary, a dreamer. He's not a business man. There are many reasons why the GC did no succeed as well. Number one, didn't have a dvd compatibility, which tacks on a 50$ value increase. Number 2, the game selection is entirely too kiddish. FOr serious gamers it's X-box or PS2. But that's not what frustrates me, what frustrates me is that there are 6 or 7 really damned good games for GC and only for GC and I want to play them. But to do that I'd have to buy the damned system. It's just not fair. If I get a system I want to be able to play more then 7 games on it that I'll enjoy, but damn I want to play those 7. My life feels empty. There's a minidisc shaped hole, about 7 of them, in my soul because of you Shiggy. Shame on you.

You know how many remakes there were of Street Fighter 2. It was insane. It took them forever to move up to Street Fighter 3. You know they used to have the Street Fighter 2 arcade game down in the PND on front street, and we had it rigged so we got free games. I had so much fun playing that game. I kicked ass with Blanka.

I want an island. It doesn't have to big, maybe like one square mile, maybe a half of a square mile. Just so long as I can build on it. Then I'm going to steal the contents of a junkyard, and assemble my island fortress. MWAHAHAHA

You know it would be really easy to scale the side of the old artsbuilding. There is a tree on the west side of it that is a little bit wider then my arms span, so if I used a belt stretched between my hands and climbed up using my feet, as well as the belt, it would be no problem. Once up to the window height, it's a simple matter of jumping onto the roof and climbing on top of the window. The only problem is that once I'm up there there is no way down exccept by ladder, and I really don't have any reason to be on top of the old arts building as of yet, other then that I like to climb stuff.

Megaman was cool. I mean he's basically a robotic power parasite. Something like Rogue from the x-men, except a robot, and he HAS to kill his enemy to get their powers. Somewhat sadistic of him, but he's still cool. WHat was up with the dog though. I think I missed when he came in.

I miss Ness, from Nintendo Power. His comics made nintendo power fun to read. Long live Ness.

The Sims 2 is one of the most addictive games known to man. Maxis holds the key to time for sure. Honestly, I am addicted to the game. I show all the symptoms of a heroin junkie, except with The Sims. I sneak it when nobodies looking, I can't sleep, because I think about The Sims, I download more and more sims paraphenalia etc. I've put myself on a 12 step plan though. So far it's been 3 days since I played. I might play again saturday, but it's risky.

Eastern classical music is so much better then western classical music. You can almost feel the tradition in their music. It flows so much nicer, because it's been perfected over generations of artists solely dedicated to performing. Western classical music is different in that we really didn't have much until the prodigies came around, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach etc. Also, society liked Beethoven's music for quite a while, and his music was very crashy. It's jarring. His symphonies are loud, they jump around, and there just doesn't seem to be as much flow as the eastern musics. Society's fascination with Beethoven's jarring symphonies trickled down through the ages, and now the majority of western classical symphonies take their example from beethoven and are loud, crashy and flashy. Our other styles of music; rock, folk, heavy metal, techno, pop, is all derived from the original immigrants music, which was fast, uplifting and partyish, which is what the times required. Basically what I am saying is, North America does not have a lot of tradition behind it. We have like 300 years. compared to these ancient societies like China and Japan with thousands of years of tradition, we are children. Their culture has had thousands of years to develop into the beautiful state that it is now. Ours on the other hand, is an amalgamation of immigrant cultures. For the most part there were three types of culture that were brought over to North America, 1) The rich British colonial culture. These were the wig-wearing Beethoven enthusiasts. 2) The pauper culture. These were the people who came to North America to escape persecution, starvation, unemployment and so on. Their music was played using whatever they could find, jugs, makeshift banjo's, cans, spoons, drums and so on.3) The slave culture. The slaves had their own style of life, especially once slavery was abolished. Their culture developed around dependance upon one another for protection and survival. Once freed, the majority stayed in groups to avoid persecution by the Klu Klux Klan and other hate groups. Governments run by anti-abolitionists underfunded housing and maintenance in the areas where the once-slaves settled and they became ghettos. The poor-by-circumstance life of the ghetto is then where the whole ghetto/ rap culture originated. Anyway, this mismatch of cultures is what influences everything in our society. Our architecture, our philosophies, our social structure, our political structure, our art, music and even our daily routine.

The curve is much more appealing to the eye then a line. The basic reason for this is that it appeals to our sense of nature. The reason why everything is blocky in western society, rather then curvy, is because we focus on practicality. Ancient Eastern society could afford to be decadent, or impractical. Just look at western architecture, for the most part it's very bland, 90 degree angles, blocky structures. This is pretty much because when people settled in North America they didn't have time for elaborate structures before the winter came. It was: put up four walls, a roof and bada-bing, you get to stay alive. Anyway, back to why curves are better. They are more natural then a straight line, and we subconciously crave escape from the artificiality which we create for ourselves. This is why a curvy woman is sexier, or a corvette is more attractive then a blocky 1980's stationwagon. Humanity craves curves and flow, this is why a slowly moving river is so relaxing to us. DOn't believe me, go watch a lake or a river for 20 minutes and see if you feel better then you did before.

Godzilla was awesome. I love the old godzlla. The new one was pretty good too, but I loved the cartoon, why'd they have to take that of the air. Stupid network hoe-bags, take away my godzilla, my gi joe and my undergrads. TV execs will die, by the wrath of DOUG! (Insert godzilla roar here)
