Movies and TV / Smallpox
« on: January 09, 2005, 09:02:50 PM »
I just saw this movie/special on FX.  I thought it was really interesting.

Set in 2002 it was about a terrorist who infected himself with smallpox in New York City and infected as many people as he could secretly.  Within two months it was a worldwide epidemic 'of biblical proportions', with over 60 million dead worldwide.  And it was told in the view of a documentary, which really added to the feeling you get from watching it.

Anyway, I enjoyed it and would reccomend seeing it next time it is on.  Did anyone else see it?  What did you think?

Everything Else / Superpowers
« on: September 14, 2004, 08:27:09 PM »
I am looking for two good superpowers so I can put them in a flash I am making.  I want to give each fighter a superpower and have them fight, but I am having trouble picking which two.  I only want each person to have one superpower, unless there's a really good combo that comes up.  So far I'm leaning towards someone who morphs their species, but it's not set in stone.  Some other ideas I had were

Flying
Super Strength
Super Speed
Super Reflexes/Speed of Hand
Control of an Element
Laser Vision/Laser Beams
Robotic Parts
Climb on Walls/Cieling
Production of Objects
Stretchy Ability
Morph to Element
Super Breath...?

I'm just runnning any idea I can think of.  If you have any more post them here for me if you will.  And let me know which ones you think are the best.  Thanks!

Rants and Stuff / Me thinks something is broken

Uh, TWG does this periodically and it usually fixes when I reload.  It didn't fix this time.  On the main page it says Jeffe was the last one to post on Rants and Stuff, but when I get here it appear someone else actually did the last post.  Thought I'd share since I don't know if the server is just messing up or if I am missing part of today's posts...

Music / Foreign Music
« on: June 30, 2004, 09:18:07 PM »
SO we have a foreign exchange student here right now, and he will be here for most of the summer.  And he brought a few disks fully loaded with Spanish MP3s for his enertainment.  I, naturally, asked him to borrow them and put all of them on my computer.  I have an insane amount of Spanish rock and pop on my computer.  And most of it is good.  I am pleased.

Video Games / HALO II!!!
« on: April 28, 2004, 06:16:19 PM »
This makes me happy.  The sooner the better, I was just wondering if anyone else is as exited about it as I am...

Geo Mod system for blowing up walls, 6 (?) new vehicles, new moves (like the combo donk/punch, or the jump ontop of a warthog and fight the driver), new levels and weapons, new storyline, and massive multiplayer... does it get any better?  If I am disappointed like I have been with soo many sequels I will be busting some heads...

I am not allowed to comment IN the ring, so I will comment here.  Oh yeah, others are welcome here as well, I guess...

RULES
1) NO Fighting
2) No swearing
3) No website linking
4) If two monkeys are jumping on a bed search the room for a third monkey BEFORE you call the ambulance, it could just be a coincidence...

Everything Else / Old Age is Killing me
« on: March 02, 2004, 08:24:13 PM »
Sooo, I haven't been on in like a month and a half.  Anyone wanna give me the 30 second catch up?  Anyone at all?  Well, then gather round my chillins and I'll tell you a tragic tale of my mom, and how she loves to ruin my life.

No don't get me wrong, my mom feeds me and clothes me and charges me only minimal for my shelter, but as with all parents, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  Sometimes.  So I come home from school on eday and, well, she has wiped my computer clean.  No warning.  Not only was my several weeks worth of work report on there but also everything else that ever held any value that was digitally based.  So I'm friggin' pulling my hair out about this while she tells me she changed my AOL password and will not tell me what it is until I finish my weeks worth of chores, and then some.  Fun, huh.  This involves shoveling a driveway which is 1/7 of a mile long, while it is covered in about a foot or more of snow.  Not kidding, huge winter this year.

Luckily I got my neighbor to plough it for me, but I still had a crapload of stuff to do.  So i finally get done, after about 5 days of nothing but eat (very little), sleep (even less), school (during the day), homework (when i was supposed to be sleeping) and work (every other part of my day). After I have finished I come to reak my glory, and she exclaims she has no idea what I am talking about.  

Thats right.  None.

So I try my old password.  Doesn't work.  She accompished erasing my contact to the internet completely.  Isn't it GRAND!?!

And during these last weeks she's been really nice to my sister and really mean to me.  WHAT DID I DO?  I like ranting about my mom to other people, by the way, so it doesn't accidentally slip out at her.  But, it's hard for me to handle this kind of stress without dairy.  I NEED MY DAIRIES AND MEATS!

Video Games / Here to complain
« on: February 07, 2004, 12:10:18 AM »
So I'm sitting in my room, playing tetris and listening to old school Good Charlette, as their new songs suck big time.  Here I am, wating my time, as usual, increasing my real time reaction and critical thinking skills, as I have nothing better to do and it is quite amusing, when my maternal unit walks into the room.  

Now, you wouldn't think this to be such a big deal, as I don't really have to listen to her anyway and have becaome extremely good and responding to certain key words with other key phrases, simulating a conversation with her on a subcontious level, while I concentrate on my level 15, 50000 point game of tetris.  Yesir, that is a LOT OF POINTS.  Insanity.  Nearly my high.  And I was going strong, only two or so lines above the bottom of the chamber.  

But my maternal unit, being the type of person she is, decides she doesn't wanna talk.  No.  That would be toooooooooo easy.  Instead, she wishes to torture me in a fire pit of doom and pain which can only be described as the devil's punishment.  So she decides to switch on my light.  You wouldn't think this is such a big deal, as a light is not a big problem.

HOWEVER, what she did was just moronic.  I have my lightswitch taped up as so people wont flick it off.  It just makes sense that way, as EVERY ELECTRICAL DEVICE I HAVE IN MY ROOM IS HOOKED UP TO IT EXCEPT my light.  My light is by my bed, on the other side of my room.  I have told her consitantly not to flick it, as it erases all my high scores.  

So she walks in, flicks my lightswitch several times and walks away with nothing more than a," you should tape that light switch up if you don't want me flicking it.  I DID UNTIL YOU CAME ALONG AND TOOK IT OFF AN FLICKED THE SWITCH IN ONE CLEAN MOTION!!!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So here I am now, thinking about how I'll have to go and restart my game and try to get another 50000 points in the situation I was in, which I can probably do without a whole lot of difficulty, as 38000 is around my average, but it still turks me off.  Sometimes parents I swear...

Video Games / Whatever Happened...
« on: January 31, 2004, 11:55:47 AM »
Whatever Happened to old school games?

Duck Hunt, Tetris, Mario Brothers.  I know that they are all being remade, but I would just like it if they went back to nintendo.  It just feels better that way.  There are way to many games that suck coming out these days.  It's all about how fast can they get it on shelves.  But back in the day of atari and nintendo entertainment system they took their time, and may not have had great technology, but made great games.  They should at least put more effort into games and worry less about how the game plays and how it's storyline works than how fast they can get it out and how many people they can get to buy it.  You'll make more money with a good game anyway....

Rants and Stuff / Jokes and Riddles
« on: January 30, 2004, 08:47:00 PM »
    I think the last few posts have taken their toll on everyone involved, simply because of a misunderstanding basically entirely my fault.  I thought we could all use a break.

Q)What's worse than finding ten dead babies in a garbage can?



A)Finding one dead baby in ten garbage cans.


    I know, it's gross.  But it's funny.  You know it is.  Come on.

Rants and Stuff / Insanity
« on: January 30, 2004, 05:34:31 PM »
    How can it be proved that insanity is real?  In a world were everyone's opinion is supposed to be reconized, how is it possible to say," S/He is insane."  Mental diseases can not be proven to be a disease.  Perhaps illrational fears are really rational, no one can prove that a fear of arachnids or numbers shouldn't be had.  I believe that insanity is only used as a way to discriminate against people different than the average mass.  If a man goes "insane" and kills twenty people, how do we know that his murdering was illrational?  Faith?  Who among us can prove through indenyable evidence that a murder was completely illrational.  All animals, including humans, have an instict that tells us to live at all costs, just like an instinct to eat, sleep and drink.  Someone is not "insane" for listening to those insticts, and if someone feels threatened why should the populace be able to deem a man or woman insane?  Now I am not saying it is moral to kill, in any light, but I am saying insanity cannot logically be blamed.  In light of this, temperary insanity should not be a liable defense to any crime.  Hey, if a man or woman was insane to murder and you give him or her the death penalty, aren't you insane by your own standards?  Think about it...

Rants and Stuff / Anti-Bush rant
« on: January 29, 2004, 09:31:49 PM »
http://www.Bushin30seconds.org
     A) You must check out the above website.  Period.
     B) If you enjoy my "rant" please E-mail me at... [email protected]  Also E-mail me if you don't enjoy it.  I have no qualms towards this, or any other act of indisgretion (other than virusing, if you do you will pay.  Put "Bush Rant" as your subject so I do not delete your E-Mail.  Enjoy.
     
      I hate Bush.  Neigh, I, personally, despise Bush Jr.  The world hates Bush.  There is no reason to like Bush.  Seriously.  Think about it.  What could make you like Bush?  Everyone HATES Bush for many a reason, being ranged from his " Leave no billionaire behind" type attitude to his war in Iraq, especially to the fact that he took the largest surplus in american history and made it the largest deficit in american history.  He has achieved nothing positive for the common american in his presidency.  He has a disgraceful attitude towards AMerica and the american way of life.  Nothing is safe, not your money, not your morals, not you allies in the United Nations.  Not even your civil liberties given to us by our forefathers!  When will america had better learn fast, Bush needs to go.

     What do I despise most about Bush?  I have no hate which is greater than another.  His disregard for my family, my community and my country is disgraceful and offensive.  He cares so little he took more vacations than any other president in american history.  He cares so little about the common man he is not only willing to pass an act that takes away our liberties, rights such as trial, knowlage of your prosecution, and legal defense, but he has the audacity to name it the patriot act.  The men and women who fight for this country, fought for this country and founded this country, the true patriots of our heritage, the soldiers who gave their lives for service to save future generations, do not deserve to be disparaged by having a law named after them that takes away everything they fought for.

     Bush can't even make up his mind about his own actions.  He pulled money from his own educational program to pay for the war in Iraq in addition to other things that much of this glorious nation dislikes.  He is pulling money out of children's pockets to pay for his deficit and to help the billionaires along.  Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the rich.  Good for them, they got up in this dog-eat-dog world, overcame the social darwinism and got their money.  But if you have enough money to last your lifetime and the lives of your children's children, you don't need to scam Children out of their future money.  In addition, if you are a president for billionaires, don't pull the future hard-earned paychecks out of the defenseless.  Just because we can't vote does not mean we can be pushed over.  The country knows of your mental corruption Bush, and the little people are who matter here.  

     I need to go do homework...I will add on to my lecture by the second of feburary this glorious election year for anyone who is interested.  

TO COME
Weapons of mass destruction my butt
UN and our two remaining friends
Unkept Promises
and more...
