... For the Matinee Price!!

Haha! I'm leaving for Vegas this Monday, the 27th, at 5 AM, staying there the entire week. Expecting to see the Star Trek - Experience, the different casinos and shops up and down the strip, maybe even drive over to the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon, maybe bump into Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, William Shatner, or (hopefully) maybe even Criss Angel.

Anywho.

Yeah, well, the title makes no sense. But, let me assure you with some quotes and jokes that struck my fancy --

"White man makes guns, no problem. Black rapper evens says guns, -- congressional hearing."

"We are all lucky to be in America ... even us black people. Now, the black people have a different view in the mirror ... America is like the uncle that paid for your college tuition ... but molested you."

Those were quoted from Chris Rock's performance a few nights ago on HBO-Comedy.

"So, my girlfriend said to me 'Jimmy, we've reached a crossroads in this relationship. Down one path are some troubleships that eventually lead to ultimate happiness. The other road is a dead end.' Naturally, I responded with 'Then it's not a crossroads ... it's a T-junction.'

-chorus of laughter-

Well, I'm glad you found it funny. She went f***ing mental."

"-points at a man in the audience- I read in a magazine that men go bald because they have too many male hormones in their system. My suggestion to you is to stop swallowing."

"My girlfriend used to angry because of the old nagging fact that I used to leave the toilet seat up. So I resolved it -- ... but there's no pleasing her. Now she's angry that the toilet seat is covered with piss."

Those were quoted from Jimmy Carr's performance just last night on HBO-Comedy, as well.

"See, the government has already profiled us black people ... they even let us on planes early, now, which is nice. See, they already know what we'll do -- we'll rob you, we'll shoot you, we'll jack you, and we'll cut you -- but we will not blow you up. You have to be on time to f*** with bombs."

That was quoted from Bill Belamy's performance just last night, as well, on HBO-Comedy.

Now, for some quotes in World of Warcraft that I happened to jot down or take a screenshot of in a moment's notice. =P (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade.)

"I got in a fight with a guy in BG. ><>>;"
"Guess not."
"All of my clothing is dying."
"xD"
"xD"
"I imagine that to be something Chris would say."
"But more like -- "
"WFT MY CLOTHS R DIING!"

A discussion on trying to make it through the cave that links Felwood to Winterspring at too low of a level to attempt it properly. (Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade.)

" .. Stealth?"
"Oh."
"xD"
"xD I thought you actually meant mountain."
"Stealth+Vanish+ Blind+Evasion+Sprint"
"My combo -- Strip Naked+Defensive Stance+Blood Rage+Retaliation+Die+Die+Die."
"xD!"

And Jade and I miscellaneously bashing Christian. =P (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Jade, Me, Jade.)

"I can still sell it for 15 silver to a vendor!! xD"
"Ooohh."
"I'd be /rich/, man!"
"And you could buy it back for 1g 69 silver."
"xD"
"xD Now /that/ sounds like something Christian would do and say, 'That was an /awesome/ deal!'"
"xD"

Jaeden getting pissed off that I'm not co-operating with him in the Wetlands (and offering pretty whack advice). =P (Me, Jade, Jade, Me, Me, Jade, Jade.)

"xD I wish /I/ had a mount."
"I miss mine. ><;"
"And I never even named it."
"xDD" "Call it Sparky."
" .."
"I hate you."

At a much lower level, Jade and I heading through Rageclaw's Den to finish a quest of mine ... an interesting conversation arises. (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade.)

"Why do you /always/ get to loot Rageclaw?!? xD"
"I'm black. xD"
"But I am, too! >>;"
"On the inside, maybe."
"And the outside, I just dyed it."
"It's because this character has boobies. o_O;;"
"I can't argue with that."
"xD!"

Another rendition of "Give Me A Name to Name My Gnome!". (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me.)

"Smallspark!! xD"
" ... "
"Sparkresister!"
" ... "
"Thermaspark!"
"I think I'll kill you tonight."
"Sparky!"

And you can go here to see a small sample of what role-playing in the Caverns of Time was like. But, no, Blizzard -- you won't be able to figure out who we are so, no, you won't be able to bust us. I censored the names.

Take that!! xD

And, the funniest quote from Gaia in Kaiyan Akurian's profile --

Alex: you know samantha is sexy >_> ... Admit it
Jade: Good sir. Dare I ask, what the f*** are you smoking?

xD Well, I'm tired, finished, and ... well, tired. =P Peace out, peoples.

Did I Mention I Have a Semi-Retarded Brother?

Of course I don't. But, hey -- that attracted you here, no? Alrighty. First off ... for my birthday I basically got a nice Bass Guitar & Amplifier, along with an XBOX 360, Hitman - Blood Money, Burnout - Revenge, Perfect Dark Zero, & Full Auto. I probably posted half of that before but, y'know, I thought it would be cool to post it again.

Anyways ... now for something completely unrelated.





Yes, well ... Stewie's Sexy Party I found (at least on my part) to be f*cking hilarious (at least to those of you who watch Family Guy ... but, seriously -- ... who doesn't? xD) ... if you have an XBOX 360 and actually bother to read this, then look me up on XBOX Live ... the name's 'Shadow191'. I'm in the Underground zone with almost 400 for my Gamerscore (I believe).

And I enjoy long walks on the beach. =P

And, boy-oh-boy, I'd really appreciate any kind words or tips anybody could offer me on my upcoming video game that I'm working on ... and, hell, I may even open up a mailbag that I'll answer on here if enough people email me over it. I love to hear from people. If it's just a friendly 'hello', I'll send one right back ever-so-politely. If it's a question, I'll post it here. If it's well versed hate mail, I'll simply trash it. If it's not well versed, I'll post it up here for everyone to laugh at you over. So if I were you, I'd be careful what you wish for, because-- ...

... Santa Claus is coming to town. (but it's only June!!)

xD

R&R - Rants and Rants -- Edition 2

Alright. Bottomline? I'm not prejudice. And I'm sick and tired of people saying I'm prejudice against black people. Common lines when a conversation goes bad? "Man, your ancestors were my ancestors' slaveholders!" And how would you f*cking know that? Did you rent a time machine and go back in time to watch a past version of me whip your ancestors across the back? I didn't think so. All I ask is you know what you're talking about before you start blabbing sh*t that you honestly have no clue whatsover about.

There were three different kinds of white folk back in the day. The slaveholders of the South, the slaveholders of the North, and the anti-slavery activists. How do know my family was for slavery? Mine could've been one of the people standing around in protest against it. Hell, my family's from Ohio (unfortunately ... I don't really like the place, personally) and during that period of time ... you guessed it, Ohio was with the Northern states.

And the whole discrimination thing where people believe my ancestors before, even then, were Nazis?!? Just because I'm white doesn't make instantly make me a f*cking Nazi, or even f*cking German. People who make the assumptions that I encourage racism, prejudice, and hatred couldn't be more wrong. I'm open-minded, and am equally for every race being treated the same. I don't even want to be associated with Nazis, and never said so. If I speak German to somebody and they reply back with, "Quit with the Nazi-speak!" me and my friends around me instantly have the assumption that they're ignorant and (possibly) retarded.

Now, before you contradict me and say "But, Reaper! I thought you said people who use 'retarded' in an insulting way are-- ..." But I'm not saying it in an insulting way. I don't say things that aren't true. If I believe they're retarded and so do my friends? That doesn't mean they belong in a Special Education class, it just means that they could've been dropped on their head as child or never been diagnosed with some sort of mental illness.

Either way, it's a win-win situation.

For me, at least.

R&R - Rants and Rants -- Edition 1

Welcome to the first session of R&R that I will attempt to incorporate in future posts ... this one will consist of my interpretation of the Catholic Church via The Da Vinci Code and Gay Pride. I'm not gay myself, but I have some friends who are, and I don't like the discrimination that modern day society is putting them through.

First off. Da Vinci. The Da Vinci Code, to be exact. Obviously, the movie is fiction. But most of the stuff is true / highly believable, despite what any of my Catholic friends say (Quote -- "It's pure blasphemy!"). Obviously the only reason they would be sticking up so strongly for their religion instead of letting the movie pass off as fiction is because some of the facts within the movie could possibly threaten to destroy the foundation of their churches and (*gasp*) even their entire religion? The world may never know, for Catholicism will continue on and Da Vinci box office tickets will continue to be sold.

I, personally, do believe that most of the movie is highly factual / loosely factual, based on the point of the story. Obviously Langdon and Neveu are not real life characters. Neither is Fache or the rest of the Interpol. But most of the story (Holy Grail being Mary Magdalene's womb ... Opus Dei ... the Priory of Sion ... et cetera) seems to make high sense. Hell, wouldn't you get pissed if your saviour (Jesus Christ) was beginning to have a different view, claiming that your immortal being of high holiness was being lowered to a mortal status, and even possibly carrying a bloodline? Yikes.

It's just a point of view. Stop trying to tell everyone the movie is fiction. People have brains so they can make up their minds for themselves. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I've had enough religious bullsh*t to last me eternity. I honestly have nothing against any religion ... no matter Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, even Paganism (witchcraft) ... I believe all are perfectly acceptable views. So stop trying to push your views (hence "convert") everyone else to your religion. If they happen to find ... let's say for the sake of argument, Buddhism a better religion than Christianity? That's perfectly fine. Stop criticizing them over it.

Amen.

And on to the so-called 'gay pride'. I happen to know a guy who is my mother's friend (or, for lack of a better term, 'co-worker') who is, lo-and-behold, gay. Is that a crime? No. And it pisses me off everytime somebody uses the term offensively. It doesn't offend me directly (seeing as how I am not gay) but offends me to the point that I think of him and it makes me want to strangle the person who said it. Wouldn't it make you want to hit the person if they were calling one of your friends retarded (in an offensive manner) and your friend was actually in Special Education? Boy, wouldn't you want to intervene.

But, most of the time, people stand idly by. They do nothing. All it takes for evil to occur is for good people to do absolutely nothing. (Thank you, Mrs. Rowley.)

And he's a good guy. So what he believes in Paganism? He sure as hell knows what incense to burn, what Bast statues to place where and why, and different 'potions' (though, I'm not going there) to brew to ward off certain illnesses / bad happenings. That makes him interesting. That's what makes all of us-- ... well, unique. Hell, I'm not a scientist and can't figure out whether you just develop a taste for the same sex or whether it's a chemical imbalance from birth. But is it wrong? No.

Some religions seem to think so, though. And I believe that, as well, is utter bullsh*t. People can do as they choose as long as they don't harm me, my friends, or my family. They should be able to pursue their own happiness, right? And if they can't, what has America --- and even the world --- come to?
