Well it's about time...

I was browsing Reddit yesterday when I came across a great quote, one everyone should remember when they get mad at something dumb or take stuff to seriously. "Just remember we're just a bunch of evolved monkeys living on an organic rock flying through the universe." It really is quite true and when you think about it funny. It's people who think like that that I admire, people who can bite there tongues when they have to and aren't easily offended. A big problem we face as a society is political correctness, and it's a joke, but that's enough ranting for today.

Well I really have to talk about Skyrim

As exciting as the blog prompt is today it's been 5 days since Skyrim has been out and I must say. The graphics in this game are so life like, you want to see the future of technology and games, look no further. Let's not forget the music, I'm not one for all that instrumental music and whatnot but really, the music is beautiful and really sets up a great atmosphere. Then theres the open world, do what you want, become friends with who you want, I love it. This was really the first game released in my lifetime I was this excited for, and up to now its really outlived and out done the hype. It's better then I ever could have immagined. I suppose that right there is a recipe for a state of happiness and a great game, because that is how I feel!

Starling

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this was nothing more than a group of birds who flew in formation. And like any movie, the dramatic music and nature filled camera shots simply add hype that if you were there wouldnt have noticed. You would have probably been more terrified than mystified. As for metaphors I see none, it was just a flock of birds, flying around, no symbolic or metaphorical meanings here. I could show you a few videos of my cat rolling around, add some music and a few slow motion shots and I have a video that's way more dramatic and theatrical then it really is.

It's one of those days...

I'm hungry, tired, and frankly I dont want to do anything. I know for a fact that everyone has these kinds of days but I'm having one of those weeks. Every day I've gotten up I've had to drag myself out of bed and come to school drowsy and hungry. I don't usually feel better until lunch which might I add is what I'm looking forward to today.

This is quite the gimmick

I find the article rather boring, mainly because the estimated price will be $1000 and because this isn't a technological achievement. Sending a man to the moon, the first PC, curing polio, those are achievements, putting a phone in a shirt I'm sorry to say is just silly. It seems all the new technology coming out these days are just gimmicks and scams, much like the iPhone which is quite laughable. Is putting a phone in a shirt impressive, yes, but is it something that will change the way we live and improve our lifestyle, no I'm afraid not.

Rambling about conference champs and burger king

Well as of yesterday evening we became conference champs in cheer? Well add that to the laundry list of soccer, tennis, volleyball, and now cheer. Well I'm a freshman, I can't wait to see how many more times were conference champs by the time I'm a senior, maybe even a state champion... Anyway on to Burgerking, I'll be heading there after school with Dan Barr, Owen Couture and my brother. Nothings better than buy one get one free Whopper, free refills and hot fresh fries on a Friday afternoon. Oh yes and then we have the varsity football game on Saturday afternoon, the Badgers play and game 3 of the world series starts. Then Sunday the Pack get to crush the Vikings. Happy weekend all.

The Se7en Deadly Sins

My favorite deadly sin is sloth. It's not like I do nothing, I just don't do as much as I should... I'm starting to think maybe I enjoy it too much. However I must interrupt this prompt and go off slightly into a mini tangent. The movie Se7en, yes Se7en is a movie starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. The movie revolves around a serial killer who kills people who have committed a deadly sin. He kills six people before he is caught, and they don't know who he is, they can't trace any finger prints because he cuts off the ends of his fingers. He is reffered to as John Doe. The ending is an inceadible one, with a twist I never saw coming. It's a great suspense, drama that oddly feels like it has an agenda to teach everyone. It uses the seven deadly sins and really makes you think twice about who you are. If you ever get bored or enjoy listening to Morgan Freemans voice, watch this movie.
