Hyperion.
Comments on commentary-

Shinfaru- Horrible zingers or no, the arcade is an amusing distraction.

Go Lakers! Get those lottery balls!

Reina- Haha, yeah. That was pretty good. :P

Leaful- I can't get a wink of sleep around my harem girls, actually.

Roxie- MY QUIZZES CONSUME YOUR SOUL. HAHAHA.

Crackerman.

I have this odd ability to be a magnet for perfect, total and complete strangers. What makes this more amusing is that most of the strangers that approach me are *politically correct tone of voice* african-american people */politically correct tone of voice*. Even if they aren't really african and about four hundred percent american, I suppose that doesn't matter. They have a different level of melanin than I do- OMFG GET OUT THE LYNCH. Anyway, this particular stranger was of the merchant variety. In Ingram Park Mall there are alot of booths across the mall, one particular booth I know rather well- since.. the people that operate that booth insist upon trying to fleece me into buying a small, tiny vial of fragrence. Eastern Oils, that's what they are called. This short black merchant was named "Cordell" and was a Spurs fan. Now, see, the easiest way to dissuade a merchant is to control the conversation he initiated. So, that's how I learned he was a Spurs fan. And, that's how I left without having 30 less dollars and a tiny bottle of crappy perfume.

I got Guild Wars. Yay, the crowd goes wild, cheers erupt outward, a monkey claps it's hands, etc. Not much else to say about that.

I had a point to talk about here, but I'll just copy/paste my ranting from AIM, lol. Easier than retyping a few paragraphs out.

DeathKnight V4: *tilts his head* it's a double standard for some reason.
DeathKnight V4: and I'm not sure what that reason is, I really don't.
DeathKnight V4: <<;
DeathKnight V4: It's seems so perverse, so ethically wrong to force one nation carry the burden of it's past when all parties involved have equally dubious dark periods in their pasts.
DeathKnight V4: The United States and the Native Americans, Britain's imperialist practicies, Russia and Stalin, Japan and China.
DeathKnight V4: France and Algeria..
DeathKnight V4: all of them killed or executed people based on their race, and most of the time it was out of greed or the need for power.
DeathKnight V4: so it seems so hypocritically incorrect to force a nation to have something they ignorantly stumbled into, make them face up to it and have it weigh down on them.
DeathKnight V4: like cruicifying a child for tripping.
DeathKnight V4: <<;
DeathKnight V4: I just don't understand human logic sometimes, it just doens't make sense.
DeathKnight V4: it's like you almost pity americans, french, british, russians, chinese and japanese
DeathKnight V4: because they will look at germany's dark spot in their past and call them for it
DeathKnight V4: when they themselves, the nations they belong to have equal or more blood on their hands
DeathKnight V4: I just pity germany
DeathKnight V4: a great empire destroyed because the only way to stop them from being great was to make them feel like sinners for doing sometheing every nation has done and will do.
DeathKnight V4: don't you just find that to be horrifyingly ignorant? to do that to someone just to keep them in check? to force them to feel like their recent ancestors were all sinners?
DeathKnight V4: I think that's one of the worst things that has ever been done to a group of people. They weren't killed, dying would have been merciful.
DeathKnight V4: It was lorded over an entire nationality.
DeathKnight V4: and will be lorded over them for decades.
DeathKnight V4: the soldiers, I respect them.
DeathKnight V4: they weren't dying just so hitler could kill jews, their sacrifice was for their fatherland, their nation, thier people.. the same things that most americans would do if they were called to duty. fight for your family, your friends, for the security of where you live.
DeathKnight V4: trying to make it a fight for democracy.. trying to make world war II a struggle against tyranny or a crusade for freedom
DeathKnight V4: is very perverse.
DeathKnight V4: all they were doing is reacting to hitler, they didn't have any idealistic goals at all until it suited them
DeathKnight V4: all it was.. was a war.
DeathKnight V4: human thinking is just
DeathKnight V4: where it should be a straight logical line
DeathKnight V4: it zig zags.
DeathKnight V4: so it's a mix of amusement and curiousity.
DeathKnight V4: <<;
DeathKnight V4: like you would almost expect it to be normal for sentient creatures to seek understanding, to delve into all the curiousities of life
DeathKnight V4: like history, the arts, mechnical wonders, military stuff- just to get rid of their collective or individual ingnorance.
DeathKnight V4: but they are content with just.. working, procreating and dying.
DeathKnight V4: well, the more typical person anyway
DeathKnight V4: the people I'm surrounded by
DeathKnight V4: <<;
DeathKnight V4: "why would you want to go to california?" "why would you want to go to europe?"
DeathKnight V4: like no one wants to explore anymore..
DeathKnight V4: see new things, breathe in new air.
DeathKnight V4: intstead of stagnant air all the time.

Our hearts burn on.

That's about it. Keep it real.

P.S. GO SPURS GO.

P.P.S. My GuildWars character is named Kenneth Howell, so if you play it drop me a line if you'd like.

P.P.P.S. Woot.
