Controversy in Hollywood

So what’s the big deal about “The Prince of Persia” and “The Last Airbender”? People are getting into a big uproar because white actors are portraying Asian characters. Big fucking deal people! (<—Sarcasm, if you didn’t pick up on it.) Critics all over the place are calling it racism, but it really isn’t. Take “I Am Legend” for example. The character in the book was white, and yet the cast Will Smith to play the part. Nobody called racism on that. So all I can say is stop your whining and get over it.

My three life dreams.

1. Work as a photographer for National Geographic. I think this would be such an awesome job. I would get to travel around the world and go to exotic locales.

2. Move out to LA and get a job working for G4. Seriously, that would be the coolest, most epically awesome job ever! EVER!!! I mean, come on. I would get to play video games, watch movies, race cars, play around with all the new gadgets, and shoot guns! And I would get paid for it! Also, I would get to work with Alison Haislip, which is reason enough right there.

3. Fight a dinosaur. ‘Nuff said.

Just had a thought.

Why do people always portray that Heaven is located in the sky, and that Hell is down below? Think about it. Whenever people pray to God, they usually tilt their heads upward, and we say “Going down to Hell”. To me, this doesn’t make much sense. We know that there’s nothing in the sky, and beyond that is just empty space. Also, we know there is nothing beneath us besides dirt, water, and hot magma. So I propose this idea: What if, assuming the fact that I believe in Heaven and Hell (which I’m not quite sure I do yet), Heaven and Hell existed as two separate astral planes running parallel to our world? This would mean that spirits, such as angels and demons, inhabit the same Earth we do, just in a different plane. This idea seems much more logical than the “Heaven above, Hell below” philosophy, but that’s just me. I’m a science man, and therefore like to think logically. Well, let me know what you think. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.

Women’s magazines.

I think it’s funny how magazines, like Cosmopolitan, that are written by women, try to tell other women what guys like. I’ve had the displeasure of reading some of these things, and they make no sense. I don’t know if I’m just different from other guys, but the things they say guys “like” about women, I find to be the complete opposite when it comes to me. When I would read down the list, I found my self more times than not, laughing at what had been written, and thinking to myself “Umm…no.” It’s like if I wrote a list of things women like in men for other guys to read. The moral of the story is this: Ladies, if you want to know what men think about, or characteristics they like in women, read an article on the topic written by a man. That’s all there is to it. Good night, and good luck. Peace out.

Zombies!

This may seem like a really weird thing to want, but I want there to be a zombie apocalypse. I think it would be awesome and terrifying at the same time. Here are the steps I would utilize to survive.

Step 1: Grab my sword and keep it close at hand. I know, I’m a giant nerd because I own a real, functional katana. But having this at the ready is very advantageous when fighting a horde of undead. It never runs out of ammo, and is capable of decapitating with one swing. Win.

Step 2: Gather up my friends and families and form a survival group. Having your friends and family in your survival group may not seem like a good idea at first. If you lose one, things could get pretty emotional, and you risk not operating as an efficient team. But I would rather have them around, and know they’re safe (as safe as you can be during a zombie apocalypse) than be in a group with a bunch of strangers.

Step 3: Commandeer a caravan of H3 Hummers. Although normally I think these vehicles are for giant douche-nuggets, and are horrible for the environment, I cannot think of a better truck to travel and undead ridden wasteland in. They’re big, so you can just run things over. They’re durable. You don’t have to worry about gas mileage because you can just take all the gas you want. And who cares about the environment during a zombie apocalypse? Not me.

Step 4: Break into any, and all, outdoors stores and take anything that can be used as a weapon. This is a no-brainer. Basically, gain access to a Dick’s, or any hunting store, and take all the guns, bows, crossbows, knives, and all the ammo you can. These will help you survive, but you all knew that. Make sure that everyone in your group is well prepared, and is capable of shooting a gun, bow, and crossbow. Also, I would make sure they can wield a knife and aren’t afraid of getting up close. I don’t want weak links in my group. Weak links get everybody else killed.

Step 5: Find a safe garage to modify the hummers. I’d probably try to reinforce the windows somehow. Maybe attach a ram of some sort to the front for…well, ramming things. Just make like a tank.

Step 6: Survive! This is the most important step. I would travel around with my caravan, killing as many zombies as we could, while trying to stay alive and uninfected. We would make stops along the way to re-gear, and stock up on other supplies.

So that’s about it. I know wishing for most of the Earth’s population to turn into flesh-eating zombies is horrible, but it would be so cool to try and survive through it all. Ok, bye now.

My favorite episode of a television series! (No exaggeration)

I started watching the NBC series Chuck last week. I got into it so much that I went out and bought the first two seasons on DVD. (That’s right, I paid for DVDs.) After I finished those, I watched up to the current episode of season 3 online. This was all in less than a week. That’s 42 episodes, accumulating to about 32 hours, in less than a week. I have no life. However, that’s not the reason for this post. The reason is for me to say how much I loved episode 13, the newest episode to air. The episode was designed to be a season finale, and if fans don’t fight for a fourth season like they did for a third, it would have been the series finale. The network ordered six more episodes for the season, though, which I’m happy about because I now a big fan of the show. In all honesty, though, I would have been very pleased, and content, with that being the series finale. Now, I’m a person, that once I get into a show/movie/book series I really like, I never want it to end. That’s how perfect I thought this episode was. There was such a great mixture of comedy, drama, and suspense that made it so enjoyable to watch. The writers did a great job, and the actors, in my opinion, were awesome. To keep this post down in length, here’s a quick synopsis of the series: Chuck is a normal guy working a normal job at a Best Buy-esque store. His old college buddy Bryce sends him an email containing encrypted information about all of the governments secrets and intel on all of the bad-guys, and Chuck gets them downloaded into his brain. Sarah Walker is a CIA agent (played by the gorgeous Yvonne Strahovsky), who comes to retrieve the information. John Casey is an NSA agent who is ordered to do the same. Sarah and Casey are reassigned to protect Chuck. The three of them go fight bad-guys and stop terrorists. Meanwhile, Chuck falls for Sarah, and all the other characters say the same about her, although she never admits to it…yet. There’s more to the show than that, but that’s basically it in a nutshell. Watch it. It’s a really good series. All-in-all, Chuck season 3 episode 13, Chuck Verses the Other Guy, is, up to this point, my favorite television series episode of all time. That’s including the original Scrubs’ series finale. And that’s saying a lot. There’s so much more I could get into about the show, but that would make this post way too long. However, if anyone would like to hear about it, or discuss it with me, I would be glad to do so. Peace!

Leaving

Now listen. I’m a person that complains about things quite often, and though it may be annoying, these simple things drive me crazy. I really need to get out of here. Very soon, or I’m going to go insane. I want to finish up my semester at county college, save up some money, and just move away. Though I would rather not stay here for long, I would need to save up a lot of money. For quite some time now, I’ve been finding my life at home become more unbearable. I know I’m still a kid, and I may not know what I’m talking about, but I can’t stand it anymore. I just need to get away, even if it’s only for a few months. I love my friends and family, but I think I need time away from them to find what I really want in life. I really wish I could just pack my bags and leave tonight, but alas that’s not happening. I don’t know what’s going through my head right. I’ve always felt content with my life so far, but now I feel as though something has to happen. I guess I’m just bored with this mediocre lifestyle. I really am considering moving away somewhere. I just don’t know where or when yet.

Google

So I just googled myself to see what would come up. You know, for fun. There was one result that was of a twitter profile by ian wolverton. I noticed they were talking about a Jeep, and I thought “Hey, what a coincidence.” Clicked on the link, and it was my page from a few months ago. D’oh! I’m and idiot.
