Where are you gamers?

So! here we are my faithful followers, nearly a month after my last blog which boldly stated that I was going to start posting every week!  So much for that. Not that I'm not going to continue to try and post weekly, but it's turning out to be harder than I originally thought.  Although this week I've got a couple things on my mind, neither of which are slightly related to one another.  

The first thing on my mind is this, aren't there any decent Christian video game reviewers out there? Now I have to give props where props are due, www.pluggedinonline.com is a christian website put on by focus on the family that reviews all kinds of media including video games.  And where I do appreciate this I often find that their reviews are lacking.... a lot.  The main source that I go to for video game information is ign.com.  Now as great as IGN is, they have almost no moral compass and there's plenty of things on the website to make a young christian guy.... or any christian guy for that matter.... to be tempted to look at things he ought not.  So my question is where's all my christian gamers at and what are they doing for solid reviews?  I had a flash of lightning inspiration this morning.... i've got a video camera and i like to play video games so why don't I do reviews?!? And then reality took a two by four to my face and reminded me that I have no money and that as cool as it would be to review all the games for all of my friends and fellow Christian gamers around the world, I still wouldn't get paid for it and it would eat up all of my time to do it all by myself.  I will continue to ponder this great dilemma and get back to you if i do have any strokes of genius on the subject.  

Now for part two of this exciting two parter blog! I recently found out some information about Obama's new health care plan.  Now just like everything our new president says, it sounds amazing!  Great health care for everyone, everyone pitches in to help everyone else, one big happy family etc.  But I heard some incredibly disturbing things from people who actually read the bill titled "Health Care Reform."  The things that are actually posted in this bill are down right scary, and not to be harsh, but down right evil too.  We're talking socialist, Nazi, Satan evil.  The rumor is that anyone can accept this new health care or reject it if they so desire to keep their own healthcare plane, but the truth is that if the bill is passed, everyone will have to use it regardless of if they want to or not.  I'm not sure what all the health care companies are going to do if this gets passed, but I can't see a flourishing economy on their end.  Also, and this is scary, there will be a committee that reviews individual claims to decide who does and does not get health care.... oh yes, there will be people who get denied further health care and now amount of money or pleading will help.  How do they determine?  Lets take a look.  Lets say a 20 year old guy falls off a ladder and breaks his leg.  He goes to the hospital to get it fixed and the committee says yes and he gets a cast yay! Now lets say a perfectly healthy 99 year old man does the same thing, he goes to the hospital, but the committee looks at him and says, "you've already lived a full life, we're reserving the health care for younger people who can better serve society"  and the hospital, whether the doctors like it or not, has to turn the old man with the broken leg away.  That's right, a committee will determine your worth to society, and decide if you get health care.  Now I don't know about you, but if my grandmother got sick and was denied just because she's old, I'd be downright foaming at the mouth.  The ugly truth is that this whole thing is based on Neogenisist views on life.  Not familiar with the term? It's what the Nazi's thought about civilizations, superior race and stuff.  This will force hospitals to give abortions and euthenasia.  It will also encourage people to not live as long, that's right, not live as long.  There's a bit in there that makes people have to visit a counselor every 5 years, who will instruct them on how to shorten their life so that they won't be a "burden" on society any longer.   Now I don't want you to just take my word for it so i'm going to put a few links here for you to look at/listen to etc.  The point here is that we need to take action FAST.  Obama is forcing this through congress like a chuck norris forces his foot through a bad guys face: Fast and Furious.  He's trying to get it passed before the general public even gets a chance to look at it, and not only that the bill is, get this, 1500+ pages long, who wants to read that?  But on behalf of the American public I'm begging you, the american public, to DO SOMETHING.  Not just sit there and say, man that's terrible.  Please write your congressman and voice your opinion, pray heartily, and beg God to have mercy on this country for it's mess ups, because if this gets passed,  it will be the first step to a socialist America, and I'd rather fight this at the polls than at the stake, know what I mean?

Well, sorry to end on such a sober note, but these are serious times and we need to be vigilant, because the enemy is one sneaky filthy... well you get the idea.

To my Followers!

So apparently when someone decides to get updates about my blog they become my follower.... muahahaha!  On other news, I've decided that the only way that I'm going to keep a steady blog going, is if I have a specific goal and stick to that goal.  My computer networking teacher has a blog and he says that the only blogs that stick around are ones that have goal, so here we go.  My first goal is linked to my first blog.  I want to give my thoughts on things and have an outlet for what goes on in my head.  So from now on I plan on doing a weekly blog update!  We'll see how that goes.  

Yesterday I went to go see Transformers with my wife and, sadly enough, i was sorely disappointed.  Do not go see this movie! It was terrible and will add nothing good.   It's kinda like when you're fixing a meal and you have your meat and your potatoes and your vegetables but you need some kind of filler, so you put peas in there too.  Why? Because you needed.... something.... right? Not that they taste good or anyone likes them or you come away thinking... I'm really glad i ate those... but just because it was necessary.  This movie was kinda like that.   I can give you a brief summary of the film

1) Megan Fox

2) action

3)Megan Fox

4)bad sex jokes

5)Megan Fox

6)repeat.

Now there was more to it than that but not much... actually you know what? No that's all there was.  The humor in the film was mostly distasteful and the action wasn't linked together with any sort of a good story.   There were absolutely no good moral values in the film either.   In the end Megan Fox ends up saying "I love you" to Shia LaBeouf and then he comes back to life.... like we haven't seen that a million times.... and he says "I love you" back and it's all warm and fuzzy, but the point was that it was fairly obvious that they'd had sex already and the movie was basically trying to say that the words "I love you" are the end all.... I just want to get something straight. 

First you date

Then you say i love you

Then you get engaged

Then you get married

Then you have sex.... Any questions?

That's the way things go, not the other way around, doing it out of order will line you up for a world of hurt, pain, misery, destitution, shame and otherwise all manor of spiteful things.  

So instead of going to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, go eat a can full of peas, because it's better.

Behold the Popsicle Man!
As a child I gave in to whatever whim I desired. Play outside? Why! when i can fight dragons inside! Perfect temperature, cozy couch, the comfort of a controller in my hands. What can you call me? Dragonslayer! Do my homework? why? I can learn so more watching Discovery channel, in HD, and not move more than three muscles changing the channel during a commercial. Stay at home and have dinner with my family? why? I can go out and play all night with my Friends, and by play i mean watch a movie at their house instead of mine. A problem? what problem, why deal with it? As long as i ignore it it's not really there.... right? Oh what fun i have, oh what great joy... but soon the realization is made. When i grow up i have to make decisions that are hard, my homework actually counts for something, if i don't do anything the problem doesn't fix itself or go away... it gets worse. Little did i know what all my lackadaisical tendencies were building in me... or ripping out of me. All of my fun has in fact eaten wholes through my character, eroded away at my will, and deteriorated my constitution. A man i have become due to sheer force of age, but the inside betrays the truth, no longer a whole being, I am a perfect, pretty, attractive shell, ready to be blown over by the first possible breeze of hardship.
Behold, the Popsicle Man!
