I've been wondering, do we fool ourselves about moving one, or do we actually have what's best for us now?
For a better example of what I mean here is, in my life I fell in love with the video game Guantlet: Dark Legacy. Now This games is like 10 years old or so and when people ask me what my favorite video games is I tell them that it's this Gauntlet. Now this game I believe it has a lot of good specs that I look for in games still like: Teamwork, Variety, Story, Replay value and simplicity. well actually the story is kind of weak... but good enough for the purpose of the game.
Anyway, this game is an old game for the Playstation 2 (although I found it better on the game cube) and now that we have a Playstaion 3, you think that I would move on. I mean there has to be a better game right? ... well technically I guess there doesn't have to be one.
On christmas I got me and sam Army of Two, which has a lot of the same things I look for in games. Teamwork, Variety, Story, Replay value and it makes up for simplicty with the use of skill that is required. This game too is really awesome but I still tell people that Gauntlet is my favorite.
I'm wondering if it's just a human characteristic to believe that what you always wanted then should be what I always want now.
I remember going to a youth conferance and having John Bytheway as one of our youth speakers. Someone, after having given his .... lesson (?), said that someone else was better than his still and another person, who loved Mr. Bytheway, was insulted (Somewhat) by this and denied that someone else could be better. Personally I didn't think he was on fire but it wasn't the worst, but that doesn't matter anyway.
Just another example so it's not like I'm asking you if I should stop telling people that Gauntlet is the best.
Well that's my question I guess. Do we attach to outdated things because we fear change or do we actually want to keep our old things with us because we truly enjoy them?

Because it's what we want
I used to think "Man what happened to good music" or "... Good TV" and I would complain about how my generation liking all this new crap, now it just came to me. Nothing really has changed from our artist we like(d). Just in the 80s when .... iono Guns and roses were big and they had some hard corps music and now they have this cess album (I actually have never listened to it I just hear it's no good) that everybody who was a fan of GnR back in the 80s hates because it isn't the same as it was back in the day. Technically it is, just at a different turn of the knob.
Back in the 80s they played what we wanted to hear and today in this gay generation of ours they play... still what we want to hear. Generation rules, so this generation of teens that don't wanna "Stick it to the man" don't want to hear punk or hair metal bands singing about that crap, they wanna hear something about their time... like "losing a girlfriend" or "never having one because he's such a loser and he had to sing that to everybody".
I don't really have a question for this post... which pretty much goes against all the blog has to stand for, but I just thought I would share the info.
Probably should just start another blog for posts like these.

Uhg! Why aren't you me?
Don't worry about the blog title. It actually has nothing to do with me.
Anyway down to the matter at hand.
Yahoo news had this little article on a new mario game coming out where if the game gets hard you can turn on a feature in the game where it plays by itself until the hard part is over, or i guess until you turn it off. The problem they were facing is that peaople were saying it was a dumb idea because it takes the challenge away, or it's cheating. The problem I face is that there are all these people who actually care to complain about this (Like I am hehe) don't realise that everybody is different. We can't all reach the same hights or run the same lengths. Some people just might not be as good at mario as you. But to stear away from video games (since I'm sure most of you don't play them anyway) it happens everywhere. People must concern themselves with everybody elses life. "Why don't you dress trendy like me?", "Why don't you talk like me?", "Why don't you play World of Warcraft like me?" or " Why aren't you me?" in short. I guess it's just that hard for everybody else to live their own life so they go around telling everybody else their doing it wrong... or i guess it could be that they have reached the plymouth of their lives and feel that everybody else should join them at the top of their mount.
So if you got lost in my complaining of complaining what the question was, it was why do people afix themselves on everybody elses problems on not their own?

Dying. How cool is that?
Smoking. I don't even know how to turn this into a question without asking the generic of it.
Ah what the heck why not. Why do people smoke?
I've heard it helps you relax or it releases stress, but all you're doing is creating future stress. At the time you smoke to relieve the stress, but then smoking becomes the stress because you need more of it. We think of what we need now before we think of consequence.
Personaly I think the stress relief is a rouge for trying to look cool. I guess I can't say I thought of that because that would be like me saying I found out gravity. Some smokers I know do say they started because they thought it was cool.
What is cool about it though? "I'm killing myself slowly. Cool huh?" uumm... no?
If you wanted to die slowly why not go get cancer? Well I guess you get lung cancer from smoking, but think about leukemia, with that you have cancer and you don't have nasty black gums nor those ugly yellow stains between your fingers. Or you could go get aids, it worked for Freddie Mercury.
People all grow up to die
-Serj Tankian
(According to above quote) So shouldn't living be slowest death in it's self? I mean if it's cool to kill yourself slowly shouldn't not smoking be even cooler? Not trying to justify myself for not smoking, I just thought it was a fair question.
You pay... $6 a pack let's say to kill yourself. I'm sure over a life time of smoking you could have payed a hitman or two to kill you with the money you would have saved. Cigarettes are always the first thing thet raise taxes on so shouldn't that give you an idea to stop? Sorry I asume it's harder to quit then I just made it sound. But seriously.
Maybe money means more to me I guess.
I just don't see the upside to smoking. Cool just isn't worth a coffin to me.
Well anyway tell me your thoughts on the subject.

The Hell?
You ever notice how universal the word hell is?
"She's fine as hell!"
"He's ugly as hell."
"This is as hard as hell."
"It's cold as hell!"
"It's hot as hell."
"Cool as hell."
"What the hell?"
So wait, what is the hell? Well aperantly it's a place that looks really good yet ugly but it's hard and cold yet it's hot but ultimately it's cool. Or just from my examples from what I have heard people say.
If hell is pictured as always being on fire can you really say "It's cold as hell."?
The only one that should make sense is "It's hot as hell." according to the description.
Hell seems to be a word that is just randomly used.
Here are the same examples but I'll swap out hell with words that will make as much sense.
"She's fine as banana!"
"He's ugly as Cincinnati."
"This is as hard as pudding."
"It's cold as Arizona!"
"It's hot as balloon."
"Cool as wok."
"What the telephone?"
Ofcourse it's not like I'm saying if you use hell you should swap it out with one of my words up here, I'm just wondering what the hell is.

Let's all degenerate.
Where has the world gone these days?
You know, with that question i think I could just end my blog. But then it wouldn't be much to think about now would it?
I'll start off with computer lingo. (Because i think it spread from there)
LOL... laugh out loud right? Lawl.... what? Does that seem right?
I can understand using lol as an action as someone laughing but when you take short hand and extend it into lawl or lawlzors or any gay way you can put it, that seems like a stupid thing to do. if you wanted to extend short hand why not just say "I am laughing out loud at that joke that you just made" or something along those lines? to many spaces i guess.
Or like newbie. okay newb i get it. noob... alright i see a similarity. n00b... numbers in spelling? nub... a bump or knob? What?
This word just says to me that someone started a degenerarting race and who ever can get the furthest from the origin, wins!
Pwn, teh, pron, etc. Words people misspelled once (or twice) and someone else sees this and uses it themselves. If i would misspelled a word and it became internet lingo I would hide myself in shame. It's human to make a mistake, it's foolish to make a mistake practice. (Like that? Just made that up on the spot. Although the world might not see it that way.)
An example of what I'm talking about. Sci Fi = Science fiction. Now the Sci Fi channel has changed it's name to SyFy. why? I have no idea. So now it should be Syence Fyction i guess.
The world is degenerating and the problem is that the we accept it.
I will hate to see the day when I tell my children to do their home work and they'll tell me, they txted (Texted degenerated) it to their teacher an hour ago. This book report on "teh 0disy" includes sentances like: "odiss pwn ths d00ds wit teh speer", or "stbs syklo in I n runz" Or something along those lines. (Actually I never read the odyssey so I might be mixing my greek mytholigy for all I know.) But still, the world will accept this in the future i believe.
Because being as dumb as everybody else is better than being smarter than someone.
As for "being dumb as everybody else." Why does the world see this as an opening to become like someone else? Why must we be like everybody else? If you don't like who you are change it but don't be someone else. I read a quote not to long ago.... can't tell you who said it because I don't remember, but it goes along these lines: You were made an original, don't die a copy.
Awesome qoute if you ask me. I think that's what the world doesn't see though.
Another thing with Competition (as in an earlier blog post) Why must we have what someone else has or better? cell phone, iPhone (Still suprised it isn't the ifone yet), iPhone 3G, Computer, Laptop, Car, Helicopter, Jet, Space ship, planet, etc. and it keeps escalating. I think people can be content but everybody else says that they can't, so they must escalate to be equal, or better.
If you don't blend into this drone colony then you aren't one of us.

Well it took us long enough!
My thoughts on evolution are: As a word, It sounds cool to say. As a movie, Pretty dang funny. As a theory, As laughable as the movie.
People say religion is for people scared to see what's really going on around them (Or something along those lines), but all I'm seeing is people who are afraid to believe in religion. (not trying to convert anybody)
They say God is something man made up.
Well heres a question. How can you believe in something where in the title it says pretty much "this is a maybe". The "Theory" of evolution.
I have seen it disproved a couple of times but people yet grasp to it because I assume they want to avoid religion.
Peaple think that the idea of God (Or some super human man) creating the earth is absurd, but I don't see how it's any crazier than the thought of
KABOOOOM!!!!!
"Wow. Aren't we lucky that for some reason something exploded and life started to grow on it?"
I forgot when we light a match, start a car or bomb a country all we're doing is making life.
OH WAIT! No it doesn't. Explosions destroy life. So how does this big bang theory also work into evolution? "Boom were here so we'll wait a gazillion years till we become sentient.'
If we evolved from fish ... or whatever we were before, how come we thought it would be so smart to get rid of gills? You think in one of those evolving years we would have said "Hey without those things we can't breath down there." So you think they would have been smart enough to get them back atleast. Or how come we never looked up and asked "why can't I have wings?"
You know a while back I was watching... animal planet or discovery channel... which ever one. And they were talking about a shark. But not just any shark. This one shark had some spring loaded jaw thing. The people on the show went to a Theory of evolution "Expert" and he was facinated with this shark. He told the show that the shark must have evolved that way because he was to slow and couldn't catch prey...
So a spring loaded jaw was the answer? Why didn't it just evolve to go faster?
Well if you had seen the shark I'll tell you he wasn't going very fast but his trick jaw wouldn't help him much anyway, he still has a huge protruding nose. The only fish it could catch is if there were some cockey fish who were trying to see who could get the closest to the shark without being eaten. But since this isn't a cartoon I highly doubt fish think like that anyway.
The only way this jaw looked like it would help was so the shark can be lazy and scrape crabs off the oceon floor without having to sink any lower.
I also read something in a fact book that said something like: "The next thing we'll evolve out of is our little toe or the pinky finger."
Why did we get those apendages if all were going to do is get rid of them?
A question about evolution. Why aren't we evolving still? I have heard it's because of medicine, but what about people in third world countries where they don't have so much medicine? Or how about animals in the wild? shouldn't they atleast be evolving still?
How come we evolved from monkey through all those different homowhatevers and yet while we become fully erect humans we still have monkey? I mean even if they didn't evolve as fast as us what happened to all the homowhatevers inbetween? Now before you say "we have proof because we have skelatons.", did you know after finding one of these supposed homowhatevers these expert actually decided that it might just have been an old person who was hunched over?
As for skelaton shapes as in how the skull is so oddly shaped how do we not know that it wasn't just the culture that they lived in? People in africa extend their necks with rings why can't these people just put... rings or whatever on their heads to just misshape it that way? People do things like all through time for culture or because they think it looks good... like lip disking.
Well if somebody can sort out this theory for me I would greatly appreciate it.
"Lucky we won the race huh guys? Those monkeys were very close but look at who's in the zoos now. Second place: monkeys!"
