A new game

Most know me as the quite guy, the one who is very chills and laid back, but i do have a deep dark secret, an addiction that many people have but not as bad as me. I am a video game addict, yes video games. I know their are habits and addictions out there that may put my addiction to shame, like coffee or drugs, but to some video games are everything. Mine may not be as serious as other cases, and i may have control of it(denial), but it is very real. i have on occasions spent my last few pennies on a game just to have the thrill of playing something. I recently bought a new game called Deadly Premonitions, about a FBI detective working a very strange and paranormal case. This is the usual premise of a game, and i am used to it, the character refers to someone in a ear buds that security use named Alex which is weird because Alex never says anything back and I'm beginning to wonder is there is anyone on the other end of the ear bud. This again is the usual, game design elements, but at one point in the game, the character takes a break from the case to drink coffee, which is where it gets weird, because he pours the cream in himself just to get a sign or some sort of strange symbolism from the cream in the coffee. He believes that the cream in the coffee sends him a message or symbol to help him with the case. I'm new to the game but i don't seem to understand his logic, in this at all, maybe its apart of the game that is supposed to make sense at the end. So i guess you have to wait until the end to find out when i do

A Quick Movie Review

I just saw The new movie Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief, and i have to say that the movie was actually good. AA hint of Harry Potter and a little bit of Greek Mythology and You have a good movie. Granted that i don't watch Harry Potter because of the fact that the kid just doesn't die for anything(a personal vendetta against him), but other than that, i think that the books and movies are very well put together. Being a big fan of Greek mythology I really enjoyed it because it stuck with the fact, as well as making the movie relate to the book completely. I for one am very proud, and with that said, i had a revelation to write a series of short stories based off of the Greek mythology stories. Wish me luck!

Now this is Just Wrong!

Oh Okay, while watching a little bit of BET one day, i came across a news brief which was discussing the brutal beating of a 15 year old girl in a metro station. Why she was beat is not as important as why her attackers were allowed to continue to beat her. In the metro station, there where three on duty security guards on post, and as the girl began to warn them of the beating they begin to radio for back up while moving further away from the girl. Because they moved away the girl was beat viciously by another teenage girl taking blow and kicks to the face and body. While the beating was taking place, security, just stood there, and allowed this to continue not pulling the girl off of the victim or helping in anyway. Their reason for not helping is because, their contract only tells them to observe and report. Three grown men, working security and only allowed to observe and report, that's not security that easy money that could go towards installing more camera which they don't need, but at least the camera has the excuse of not being able to do anything but observe and report. What happened to moral judgement, and character? I know for a fact that regardless of what my contract would have told me that i would have helped that little girl, regardless of the risk of getting fired or not. It's sad that people feel so bound to a pay check that, with each incident like this they begin to feel less of a human being each time they turn away.

Another N-Word incident

Yes, its sad to say but another famous non african american has said the N-word. Time and time again have we witnessed those who are either bold enough or stupid enought to say that word so freely as if they own the right to say it. Yes i said OWN THE RIGHT, because i truly believe that that word should not be said by any man woman or child(sadly they do say it), of any race or creed, but i could sleep a little better is the person saying it was infact black. Back to the story the beloved John Meyer, is the culprit this time. After saying the N-word while using twitter several times. Once called out for it, he gave a deep heartfelt as fake-as-it-can-get apology to those who were offened. this is truely a smh moment. I'm not as mad about the actual act as i am the comment that were mad in the yahoo new report, which went something like this, "i am a black chick who feels he did nothing wrong", "He needs to learn to watch what he says", and of coarse my favorite "Ya john dont be a [profane]" I mean really have we gotten to the point where people are afraid to say what they truely feel, I'm not mad at him for saying it, i'm mad that he punks out for saying it instead of saying " i said it i apologize, and i'm really not racist...just stupid.". And for the "black chick" to say," I think that John Meyer is wrong for saying that, i mean i understand he apologized, but that makes you wonder how often he says it in person. I think the real problem with that word is that, we want people not to say it but then when they do, everybodi is in their ear telling them fifty different things, no its okay just don say it again, or its okay it doesnt hurt. I'm sure that the "black chick"'s ancestors or turning in their graves, after seeing what she said about the word they risked their lives to stop from being used.

I Truely Hate Apologies!

Recently, Marvel Comics, one of my favorite comic book publishers has to issue out an apology to none other than...da dada daaa, the tea party. If your not up to date with the politics, there is actually a new tea party. However this one in my opinion is nothing like the one found in the colonial days, because this tea party is all talk and now brains, people complaining about taxes because they recently found out they had the right to. And now, my favorite publishers have to issue out an apology to them because in their most recent issue of captain america(who i am truly against)had a page or two talking about how useless the modern day tea party is, as an anti american group. Of coarse this is complete bologna, because in the issue he really didn't say anything rude or wrong towards them. He however, did tell his black sidekick the Falcon, to go down there and tell the "angry white people" to calmly disperse, while disguised as black IRS agent to make them even madder. Not to mention it, but the tea party had signs which said "I don't see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white people". If any apology is to be made it should be from captain america or marvel, and the tea party to the black community for such crude and terrible thing both said and suggested.

Don't believe me

So we're finish?

Yay, we have a black president, a couple barriers that hold us as a people back, but whats next? There is more work to be done and we are for from reaching full equality as so many blindly say. Yes ONE black man made it to be president, how many more can we get in office? And where have all of the Black History month commercials gone, what has McDonald's done this year to support Black History, because last year and years prior, i have seen tons and tons of commercial honoring the great black and black supporters, where with this year i have only seen maybe three commercials, and no the hope for Haiti commercials do not count, its almost as if our people are saying mission accomplished, a little too soon, that's like planting a garden, and working the ground, but never planting the seeds. We have to eventually plant the seeds, and why not now if ever. Obama can not do it alone, and with all of the problems we have in America, I'm sure our goverment wouldn't try to fix the problems we have with race on their own with out us common people telling them what is wrong. Do not speak up as one voice but as each individual voice, so that we can get things done, because to be honest i would like to retire happily when I'm 60 and still have money, i want my children to go to school and me not have to skip out on the mortgage or not pay my bills so they can go, and I'm sure that you want them to, too.

The Media

The Media is a very funny and finikey aspect of our everyday life, they are allowed to twist stories into their favor just for ratings or control what goes on air and what doesn't. But what really amazes me is their ability to control peoples live and hinder them from being heard or helped, such as how they did with "helping" Haiti. They can devote a almost a whole year to Micheal Jackson, showing the same movies, programs and videos over and over again, but to help Haiti they only devoted about two to three ours for a onetime telethon. I'm not made at them for trying, but they could have did just as much as they do for the memory of Micheal Jackson. One man can not be more important than one million men women and children.
