Our agenda consists of three things. 
---------------------------------------------------- 
1) I'm pursuing media studies then going off into journalism, thanks for the support you guys! 
 
I have been getting a portfolio ready for a while, but now I'm totally venturing towards that path. Get ready everyone, Snipzor is coming for you! If you want to blame someone, blame the support I got from the three responders. Only them, it isn't my fault. I was unsure of it anyways. 
 
2) A simple question gang. Why is it that sex and sexuality (in general) is so conversation worthy despite my own lack of experience of knowledge on the subject? I expect an answer from each of you, on my desk. 
 
3) Finally, for the last bit on the agenda. Monday will be a special day. Carl Sagan's birthday, he would be 75. Rest in Peace Mr Sagan, if it weren't for you, millions around the world would know nothing of how cool science is. 
  
   
That is all for today. I've got to finish my MacroEc. homework. Wish me luck.

Let it be known that I have watched every episode of the new season, and it is shit. It is literally garbage, and know what, this is the episode that is neither funny or clever in anyway. Never have I seen the show suck so hard before, and I'm a huge fan. 
 
The episode revolves around a biker gang coming to South Park and annoying the living hell out of all of the townspeople. The episode actually starts when Cartman goes to tell them that they are being fags. The show doesn't get better from there, in fact it has used the same defenses I've heard and once used myself (When I was stupid) and they give it even less justice. From there, the gang go on to try to make the word "Fag" be all about disruptive Harley bikers, and they succeed. They start by spraypainting "Fags get out" on a nearby block of buildings, then admit to it gladly in court. Now if there has been a single theme in the show of late, it has been the warping of characters from one place to another in seconds, but the destination being even more unbelievable. With the help of Mr Slave and Big Gay Al, they manage to put into law an indefinite changing of meanings of the word fag to mean the disruptive bikers. Then by the end of the episode, they change the meaning of the word by changing the dictionary's definition. 
 
By that point I thought, "Fuck it, they're going nowhere with it". A terribly written episode with an even worse lesson behind it. It doesn't work when you have the main characters call other people "gay" on a sentence to sentence basis. Give me a break, this preachy bullshit doesn't hold up. Especially when the social meaning of the word fag has meant what it meant for a long time (As in a near century). You can't make the case that the meaning has changed because kids have a supposedly bullshit different popular usage for it, it doesn't work that way. I mean, the god damn timing of this is just great. Coinciding with the MW2 video, the recent election in Maine, and the not so recent but still ingrained in our memories the brutal assault of a gay man by two guys who repeatedly called him a fag. 
 
Lately, there has been a trade-off. Matt Stone and Trey Parker have decided to scrap witty writing with kids swearing constantly, and it doesn't make for good television. There are two south park shows, one that is a comedy show and the other that is a preachy right-wing libertarian plug that fails to get off a laugh. When there is a message, the show opens itself up to scrutiny because it isn't satire (But rather satire with a really bad message). I just think that they could go back to their old way of doing the show. 
 
Somebody should tell all of these people how language works.

Results are in, Corzine is out, and Christie wins New Jersey (Man, what a crappy prize). Results in Maine yield extreme facepalmery, in the form of me being angry but not angry enough to yell while typing (I talk and type, that's what I do, it makes it flow smoothly in every instance and in case I need to provide gibberish I can only type what I randomly spew out). The "Yes on 1" campaign won.... 
 
... fuck 
 
There's nothing else I can say, not even an 87-year old Republican WWII veteran could convince otherwise. Appeals to fact, couldn't convince people otherwise. Appeals to goddamn positive emotion or negative emotion work. Appeals to common fucking sense couldn't convince otherwise. No, the second you hear "They're coming for you", forget it you lost. To paraphrase Charlie Brooker, I don't know about you but I'm really glad to be alive. Fuck it, I can't blame the people who had the campaign to caused the whole thing, I can only blame three people.
 
The president, a supposed "Fierce Advocate", who kept his mouth shut when it shouldn't have been shut. The media for ignoring factual information, INCLUDING LOCAL MEDIA, I SAW NOTHING WHEN I WENT TO MAINE! No reporting of facts, nothing about it, and in fact the majority of the ads were for the "Yes on 1" group, so include the fourth person being the people who take the filthy money to show the ads. Third, fucking people. We know why. 
 
Know what? Fuck it, I blame everything on the "Yes on 1" campaign. 
 
They result to lies and the filthiest of smears against people, promoting bigotry and anger and appeals for negative emotion, and they have the god damn temerity to advocate the sanctity of anything. Well fuck 'em *tosses everything aside*. Honestly, I wish I were ignorant and happy, I would at least be unaware on how humanity is shit and how the world would destroy itself any second now (And know what, I wouldn't mind knowing how much we suck). 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Anyways, Left 4 Dead 2 is going to be amazing. I've enjoyed the demo very much so. If it doesn't sound like it, I'm still pissed off. I've recently purchased Professor Layton, and am scratching my head every step of the way, and I honestly don't give a crap about God of War III (just as I had not given that crap for the other two), I don't care about Bioware's sexathon Dragon Age: Origins, and I think the Final Fantasy Series has sucked since the 8th game. 
 
Next blog, a theme that doesn't revolve around me losing more faith in humanity. Until then, until then... 
 
...ugh

Funny news story, this time about Lou Dobbs. Let us start it out. 
 
First off he reports that somebody shot at him and his wife three weeks ago not that long ago. No, that's not the funny part, I'm not that horrible (I will lapse in that horribleness though). The funny part is when we get the New Jersey police to say something about the story. They weren't so... let's say impressed. The man who represented the police supposedly chucked at the claims by Dobbs, stating that it is hunting season. You know where this is leading. But even then, you could say that it is still negligent. True. But there was only one bullet at the time, which actually hit the attic. How much damage was done? None, the bullet hit the attic and then the ground. So nobody actually shot at Lou, it was just a crappy hunter who missed when trying to shoot something up in the air, bullets do fall you know (eventually). Come on Lou, first off, you report this three weeks after the fact, as if you suddenly developed and fired off the logical synapses in your brain just now. Come on. The cops don't throw away the reports Lou, which isn't fine detective work. Link right here 
 
PS. Lou is an idiot.

Time for gaming news, huzzah!

 
I finally got a working copy of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, and when I say that, I mean I consulted a bunch of help from other once like minded individuals and got it running. Let the Sierra point-and-click ass kicking begin. 
 
Unless you completely missed out this part of gaming history, Gabriel Knight is a well known cult classic Point and Click style adventure game. Rated M for mature of course. Its story revolves around an attempted novelist who is trying to write about Voodoo Murders, but accidentally gets wrapped up in real Voodoo murders and because the only man who can put them to an end. Like every other Sierra game, the best thing for you to do is to save every room, because death is unavoidable. Do the wrong thing, you die. Give the wrong object, die. Take the right object at the wrong time, die. Because GK deals with Voodoo magic puzzles, the deaths ramp up. 
 
I will have unlimited fun in this game I have hunted down for 2-3 years. Wish me luck. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Until Next Time Folks, Until Then. Oh crap tomorrow's Halloween. Well looks like there will be another night of doorbells. I hate Halloween, and youths, and candy, and doctors and lawyers and cops.
