Love, love will keep us together! (And such.)

Well, I tried to watch the movie Twilight online. I was recommended this site by Megan, of "Just a Girl and Her Blog". In the end I did not end up watching it, for a few key reasons. Once on the site, it told me I needed to download a poop load of stuff, including Firefox, a whole new freaking web browser! Once I got, what was in the end, not such a poop load of stuff, (Firefox, and adobe flash player.) The video quality was terrible. (On the side, NICE FALSE ADVERTIZING!) My internet bugged out (normal) and then, it magically uninstalled adobe. I went to do it again, but adobe was still there. After getting my new adobe, and ditching the other one in the trash I went to the site, but it would no longer play the video! After a while of useless retrying, I finally decided to think, "Do I really want to watch this?" And decided that I didn't want to, for a couple of reasons.

1. The quality was disgusting!

2. They screwed up James.

3. Even if I hadn't read the book, it would have still been predictable, and possibly boring.

4. What's up with James?

5. None of the actors seemed right for their positions. Well, really, I only know of four actors for characters. But Bella seems too, useful. Like she is good at stuff, and has a purpose. Edward seems waaaaaay to high on himself. Charlie, looks too cool. Not that I mind cool, but he just isn't the Charlie we saw in the books.

6. How can you live with James like that?

7. I don't think it will be satisfactory as a romance. It seems to lean more towards how sweaty we can make Edward look while fighting people?

8. WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO JAMES!?

9. I don't need to see it, because I know that the best romance of all time is, and always will be, "Love Actually." Don't deny it.

10. WHAT IN THE NAME OF F*** DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING YOU MOTHER F*****S! YOU TWITS THINK YOU CAN JUST WALK IN HERE AND TURN JAMES IN TO THIS P**** WITH A PONEYTAIL!

All prophanity aside, this is why I did not watch Twilight, this night. But yeah, Love Actually is the greatest romance ever, and is a must watch. But there is some pretty raunchy stuff in it. There is mild nudity, and harsh language, but that's about it. DO NOT WATCH IT WITHOUT PARENTAL APPROUVAL! But it is one of the funniest, and (dare I say it) cutest movies ever. It's a bunch of little love stories that happen in England, including two people who get together through doing a porn video. It's funny, because the guy is Mr.Wiesley from Harry Potter. And a kid, who's crush is moving to America, so he needs to learn to play music to impress her, all the while, a famous retired musician is making a comeback for Christmas (The setting for the movie.) and, is trying to reach stardom, and the love of the people again. There are a bunch more stories in the movie, but these are the ones I feel like mentioning.

So yeah, I'll update. Well, the current stuff is pretty much that, and I'm having a girl my age stay with me, as a billot. Her name is Kate. My mother is worried.

The video of the week is some video's for meeting characters for the video game Team Fortress 2 (third video down). I decided to put this up because it felt funny, because the animation style is that of Pixar movies, and there is just a bit of dark humor about that. It feels like the Incredibles were just handed sniper rifles, gernade launchers, and baseball bats, then told to fight to the death. Anyways, don't watch it with a weak stomach, there is some gore.

Picture will be put up when I find one, it will be awesome.

I don't want to explain the poll.

Killing children? Lies!

Keep on rocking! (Doctor.)

Don't you hate it when...

Don't you hate it when a main character in a book, or a character you liked, in a book slips into insanity. I'll explain.

So I finally started New Moon, after months of it's dust collecting on my book shelf, and in the fourth chapter the main character is insane. It's just annoying. This always puts a damper on books I'm reading. Like I stoped reading "His Dark Materials" after trying to make it through the second book, but I couldn't because I knew that Lord Asrial is flipping mental. He was my favorite character! Well, this, and the book didn't know how to hold onto a straight story, and always jumped over to whatever Serifina Pekala was at to piss me off. (I didn't mind seeing what our happy Texan was doing, because he was at least cool.) Well, it also lost it's other worldly charm, because they were now running around Oxford, instead of some crazy land where the curch ruled the world, and our souls ran around outside of our bodies in the form of animals we resembled.

It's also what happened to my favorite character, Bluestar, in the Warriors series. She just goes insane, and starts cutting up the magical cat religion, and feeding it to rainbow coloured bunnies who demanded the sacrifice of unicors with dragon blood in them. (Not actually what happened, but it might as well should have.)

So now I have a character I don't much care for, because of her obvious full of herselfness, but yet still finds place to be depressing, and have a low self esteem. The bad part is that she's the person who you have to see through. At least Lord Asriel, and Bluestar weren't spewing depressing banter in the places where there were supposed to be the main characters thoughts.

This book makes me wonder why everyone likes the series. I mean, nobody seems to like Bella, but are too focused on drooling over one of the male characters to give a rat's ass. But you know what? I think it's appealing because girls like to put themselves in the place of Bella, like photoshopping an image in there.

Somehow, I feel the need to continue pressing through the book, but I think it's through the promise of a werewolf character later on. My opinion, werewolf = Good enough reason to keep reading. Werewolves are just so much better than vampires, and just grasp my attention more, because there's something a little more beastly, and valiant about them. Not like a vampire, which by Stephanie's standards, are becoming weirder than the platypus. Their portrayal in this book seem to be way too weird. I mean, Edward supposedly resembles a lion. There doesn't seem to be anything lionly about him. He seems more like a coward in a sense. No, I shouldn't say that, but I thought that vampires were supposed to be like bats? To add to this, they have venom, stone like skin, that shines in the sunlight, and golden eyes that turn black over time.

Let's backtrack over what creature we have created. A blood drinking lion of stone, which also works as a florecent light when you don't need one, that has venom sacks, and has golden eyes that I belive would make him top heavy. This product also comes in the form of a bear, a snake, and any other animal you can dream up. Some even come with a bonus of PSYCHIC POWERS!

Now only nine nineghty nine! Does this make sense to anyone else? Well, I suppose I'm just being nit picky, but the only character so far that I really likes is dead. James, I respect a man who can kidnap a 17 year old girl, who seems to be smart to some extent with only a video tape. Bravo my good sir.

Well, there you have a rant, on why I feel like being in a pissy mood.

By the way, you all have homework to do for me. Send me in an essay that's subject is, "If I were to die in two weeks." I did this in French class. It was actually pretty fun to write. I just talked about all of the stuff I would do to make my last days happy. I'll transfer my essay onto my blog sometime.

If you don't pass it in, it's an F.

I find it kind of funny. (I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.)

Well, I've some up with the video of the week. It's the music video for a song called 'Mad World'. I like the song a lot, so I decided to check out the music video.(First video) It was awesome! I just found it really creative, and cool! It's something that I would like to go in front of a building and do with some friends. If you watch the video, you would understand.

Also, I feel like I'm not fulfilling my duty as a writer in 'Writer's Playhouse'. I don't know why, but I had planned out that corny name a long time before the blog came to be. I just always thought it had a nice ring to it.

More side stuff! I wonder what it's like to have a dream die? I mean, I'm too young to have had any of my dreams go up in flames, but I've always wondered what it was like. The funny part is that I'll never know, because now, one of my dreams is to have a dream go up in flames. Damn.

I feel insane. I mean, I freak my self out with weird compulsions, like having this shock run through your body, that makes all of your muscles stretch all at once. It really makes me feel like some crazy child. It's weird.

Have you ever tried running up a down escalator. I have, and it's hard. Especially when you finally get off. You need to jump, and every time I freak out, because I think I'm going to fall. And when you do make it, feels so weird, and unnatural.

Ever get that feeling when you close your eyes that the world is in a different state, or your body is. Like one time it felt like my neck was curled so that it rested on my shoulder, but it was a really long neck, and my neck surrounded my head, and my leg was twisted upwards, like the way bones aren't supposed to bend. It was very comfy. Or when your finally getting to sleep, and it feels like your floating away from your bed. That is freaky stuff.

If I had to make up a stripper name, I would be Nestea. I think it fits. It kind of rhymes with Natty, and it's a sugar, like cocoa, or something.

This question has been bugging me. If I could blow things up with my mind, would I really have the heart to do it? I mean, sure, it would be awesome to blow things up with my mind, but would I ever look at the Internet game kitten cannon again? I mean, they blow up cats, and sure, I'd say that I would blow up a cat with mind explosions if it made me sound cool or interesting, but if it really came down to it, would I kill the kitten? I like to think not. I like to think that I'm a better person than that. I like to think that cats are cooler than dogs, but somehow, it just doesn't register as correct, I mean, sure felines include lions, tigers, leopards, and cheetahs, but come on! K9s have wolves! Wolves rock! They also get foxes. Foxes are cool because they both just are, and that their species is called vulpine. And that's a fact.

I may have brought this up earlier, but I think that I should come up with my own slang. Like, kiwi, for awesome. Like "MAN! THIS PARTY IS KIWI!" Or like syphulosaurus for sucks, like "Geez Jared! Your parents syphlosaurus!" Just as a couple. But maybe things closer to the actual words. I think dazzleman will be a cool guy. Just because my brother used it for a while. But I would need a whole new word for girls. I think that I'll use Raz for my awesome word, cause it sounds like a short Rasputin. He was one tricky fellow.

For all of you who think I'm on drugs, I am not. I just felt like thinking out loud for a while. I probably scared a lot of you with this stuff, and for that, I'm sorry.

Please don't take this all too seriously.

Nathaniel.

Dawn of the New World, and an update.

Okay, I'm late on this, but I have a good reason. It is, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I talked about how pissed off I was that I couldn't get it on time a little while ago. Well now, a while later, I have it, and I think I'm nearing the end. It's sort of sad that I am. You see, I expected it to be far longer, but I did just hop the plot, and didn't take time to smell the possibly man eating flowers. There are in fact a whole lot of sidequests to do, that I may just go back and do (Mainly because I'm sort of stuck on a boss fight right now.) And they made it shorter by cutting out them, sometimes annoying, world map travel systeme, and just put in an isntant quick jump. I can't feel good about making giant grasshoppers extinct, because they are in the great fields of doom, while I am confined to my dungeons of polar bears. But they do make up for it, by adding in way more voice stuff, including voicing the ever funny skits. Going from Tenebrae being an old coot armed with bad puns, to Lloyd being accused of wanting to have an affair with a married woman, and being yelled at for it, or accused of being a peeping tom, and being punished with the summon spirit of water for it. Plus the recruit a monster systeme, which allows me to put Fenrir, the ice wolf on my team. Though it's the monster systeme downfall is that your always swarmed with guest party members, and never get to use your level 100 Fenrir, because Raine and Genis want to occupy your time, and you can't say no to them, because you know that you won't get to hear Genis yell "Pancake time! Stalagmite!" So I'm almost never using my monsters, who, ironically, are a way higher level then everyone on your team. Also, when you have guest characters, you can't make them stronger with new armour, or weapons, you can't even level them up! But despite it's downfalls, the game is acctually very fun, but I do have some pointers for if Emil's adventures continue.

1: The world map. Bring it back. I loved running through the world, and scouting the land for monsters to kill.

2: Take out guest characters or monster adding. I don't have room for both. Preferably guest characters on the party. Make them have an appearence, but they had their time to shine, pass the stick on to somebody else.

3: In the event of monster on party stuff, don't make it that easy to level them up. My faithful Fenrir shadows over my puny Emil so much, it's no longer funny.

4: In the event of guest characters, LET ME FREAKING PLAY AS THEM! I was probably way better with Lloyd then I'll ever be with Emil, so why can't I use him?

5: Find a new party. I don't want Emil travelling with some useless guys from the last game. I want Emil travelling with a new group of brand new characters.

6: What the hell happened to Corrine? Yes, I know SPOILER thing happened to him, but what's with him being the summon spirit of heart? I mean you've got all the intense elements, and then there's freaking heart?!

7: Don't make me go through the same dungeons again. I had trouble with the temple of lightning the first time, though the second time wasn't hard, but still.

8: As entertaining as it was, please don't do the same thing to make the main character achieve their rank as peeping tom, you went overboard with it this time. Also the conversation Zelos everheard was a bit over the top too.

Aside from that, a pretty good job. The characters were done great, and the plot line was solid. You should buy this game. But consider playing the first one before you play Dawn of the New World.

Well, after that, it's time for some updating. I played Dawn of the New World, that is my current events.

The poll this week shall be on milk. Chocolate, or white? Or do you drink it at all?

The video of the week shall be put up later, when I find out what I want to put up.

Picture. Another motivational one, on stupidity. Hope you enjoy it. There really isn't much to say about it at all.

I'm still working on that short story, and I don't know when I'll be done.

"Brief is an understatement." This is a quote by me about how short the update section was.

KEEP ON ROCKING! (My good sir.)

Doomed.

I am doomed. Let me explain. This is a realization I've come to about myself, that I feel like sharing. I am doomed to question reality. It's what I do in my spare time. I always think about it. What is reality? It's an answer I'll never come to, or anyone ever will, because it doesn't exist. Reality is there, and I suppose, that's what it is. There, feeling it, seeing it, smelling it, tasting it, hearing it. That's reality, that's what it means, but is it reality? We only know what our brains want us to know, and our brains are pretty flawed. If something is outside comprehension, then we can't know it. It's there, but we can't know it's there. We live in the third dimension, but say if we were to enter seventh dimension, if it exists. We wouldn't know it was there, because our brains can't tell us it's there. But then again, it boils down to 'whatever you don't know, can't hurt you'. Or, to rephrase it, whatever we can't comprehend, can't hurt us. That may, or may not be true, depending on your belief of the supernatural. Anyways, this theory just came to me. If there is a holy figure, such as god, or Allah, or Ganesha, then perhaps the reason they are not seen, is because they cannot be comprehended. I'm not very religious, but I like to accept possibilities into theories. Just cause I don't necessarily believe it, doesn't mean I don't get to play around with the idea. So anyways, as you can see, I'm pretty doomed to go this stuff over a lot. Next week, I'll take in empiricism!

Saturday, November 15, 2008

Soooo, I'm updating now.

Okay, not much has happened in the world of me this past week. Although I have a very new nickname, but not a good one. I am now Néné, oh, and Arminda, somebody who commented from time to time has given me the nickname, Nattybug. So, apart from bad nicknames, I was listening to a Massey Lecture, done by Margret Atwood, a famous Canadian author. The topic of the lecture was Payment. It was all pretty interesting, especially when she talked about the system to get away from repaying depts, called kill the loner, or something of the sort. She talked about the Templars, and the Jews here, and apparently the Jews were famous for having this done to them. But there was a part that I didn't get. She said that sending one to jail did less justice then sending them to community service, and that it was the tax payers that had to deal with the trial payment, and that it was just more unjust to the taxpayers. Now, I'm not completely against what she said, because community service is always a good way to go, but she seemed to be missing the simple fact about why people go to jail. People go to jail because they are a danger to the rest of society, and need to be isolated to protect the rest of society. It may not be the best approach, and it gives people time to sort out problems, so it isn't completely in affective.

Continuing on, I feel the need to make a serious poll this week. This week is the death sentence. I believe that it can be justified, and is in some cases better than lifetime incarceration without parole.

The video this week was something Lt.John showed me, called the little girl who was forgotten. It is like a kid's storyesk, thing that is pretty nice to watch. Once again, acquired taste, I think, and I can't really describe it, you just need to watch.

For the picture, this is an inspirational picture, or a mockery of one. I find it kind of funny, and it's certainly interesting.

And as for coming attractions, I am making a new part to Solitary Cell 63, but now, I have a title for my series of short stories. I'll ruin it by telling you that it is called In the Shadows, and the case name is 'Exchanges'. Unfortunately, I have no name for the organization at which they work, so I'm accepting all ideas. Also, for the information of all ye, it is not centered around the current main character AJ, or Anthony-Jermaine, Crawford. So yeah.

Well, that about sums it up.

KEEP ON ROCKING!

Nathaniel.

Annoyed.

I'm really annoyed right now. I have the day off, but it still sucks, because I'm waiting for Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. It's the sequel to Tales of Symphonia, which is one of the bestest games ever. So greaterest, I can use madeded up words to describe it. So yeah, I tried to find my original TOS to take the edge off of the urge to play it, but I can't, which pisses me off. But what's worse is that I can't get Dawn of the New World until Wednesday, and not Tuesday, because it's remembrance day, where stores get charged for staying open. So that's one more day I need to wait. Also, for all of you who think you should check this game out, DO IT! It's complete awesome in a sack. Anyways, if your wondering why I'm this annoyed about another day, it's because I've actually been waiting for this game for over a year now. I only really got into the origional TOS last September, because Dawn of the New World was announced. And it was announced originally for early in 2008, but then it was pushed back to April, and then it kept on being pushed back ever since, and now, when I'm one day away, I have to wait another. It completely sucks! So, I have a day off, but nothing to do! JUST GIVE ME SCHOOL AND THE GAME! Anyways, I'm just annoyed, and that's why I'm writing this. Also, the update for this week is below the Music poem. I started it earlier, and when I finished editing, and put it up, it turned out underneath.

Saturday, November 8, 2008

Music (Rough)

(This is an on the spot poem, or talk, or bunch of motivational phrases. I'm just kind of board, so, yeah, read.)

Music isn't making noise, it's about making rythm.

Music isn't being loud, music is being heard.

Music is no group of sounds, it's pattern, understanding, and harmony.

Music has no limits, it's here there and everywhere.

(I declare this work in progress!)

Updating about my neglect.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I might just keep this short because I suck like that. Not a lot has happened in the world of me, though I'm currently writing a review on the movie 'The Mist' that will be out up here. For those who haven't seen 'The Mist' then you might not want to read it, because it is filled with spoilers.



Other than this, I have a five day weekend. This calls for me yelling victory, which I won't do. So far I have done nothing on my day off.

Anyways, new picture is my cousin Eva. She is very cute.

On the new area, videos, is Slaughter Your World. It is a mockery of the song, Part of Your World, from the little mermaid. Do not watch it on a weak stomach, seriously. It is a pretty acquired taste, though i enjoyed it, it made me laugh. Besides this, it is from the web comic series, Looking for a Group, the character being Richard, the undead warlock, who is the comic relief character. There may be another reference to it in the future, with a play on the Discovery Channel add, though in comic form.

This weeks pole is about pets. What kind, or if you have one at all.

Not much this week, so yeah.

KEEP ON ROCKING!

Nathaniel.
