Untitled sounds too lame.... Random is over used.... How about "Haphazardly".. yeah

So lately i've been having a hard time coming up with something to write about.... I dont know if i should write about how my week has gone, my excitement for thanksgiving break, my excitement for Halloween, or just life in general... Maybe i should do all of them... Yeah sounds good... Ok lets start....

My week so far has been.... AMAZING! My boyfriend has been here since Friday and is staying til Moday. I was so happy to see him I love him. We've been having movie nights, hiking, movie theaters, going into town and having alone time. I am having so much fun. I sit in clasee watching the clock and running outta class just to see him. His time visiting is coming to an end soon and i try not to think about it but i am going to miss him so much. Last weekend my family came, which was scary but i had fun and the weekend before that i went back home to see my boyfriend. So lately my friends have called me selfish since i've been seeing my loved ones alot. I cant wait for thanksgiving break.

Now, thanksgiving break is going to be problematic. My parents dont want me to be with my boyfriend so they dont want me staying at his house. But i love him and if they cant respect that then i am not going to see them. I love my parents too but i am afraid they are going to ruin my Thanksgiving. So i told them, i would spend half of Thanksgiving day with them, in the morning before they start drinking. When they drink that dont think and they say very very very VERY hurtful things to me. And then the rest of the day i plan to spend with my boyfriend and his family. I pray that my parents wont ruin it and kidnap me or hold me hostage.

Halloween is coming up and i have no costume!! I am very sad because i LOVE halloween but i am a broke college student and cant afford a costume. I knew what i wanted to be... A Merlotts Girl from True Blood but i think i am going to be my boyfriend and he is going to be me... Cheap Halloween. LOL... But i think we are going to a dance then trick or treating. Im excited...

So life..... I dont know what to say about it. Mine life is great right now. I'm young, in college and in love... I love lilfe too... I couldnt ask for more. I feel blessed everyday... even though i have crazy parents and i am sometimes too lazy to go to class i still love it. Actually i do have something to ask for... I wish that i had more patience and wasnt so jealous. Those are the things i pray for to the god i dont really believe in. Life is hard sometimes and i am happy that mine is going smooth... for now....

Let the Games Begin

So I had a hard time coming up with something to write about for my blog but I think I came up with a good topic… Scary Video Games and ZOMBIES!!! Yeah I love both... And when they are together it an Epic Event!

                Let’s start with my favorite scary video games. My first favorite video game that’s scary is Resident Evil. I love all of them; there’s a set of these games. The last one didn’t really consist of zombies, it was more diseased people with octopus tentacles coming out of their face, which is equally scary. But back in the day, when zombies were everywhere in Resident Evil was my best video game days. I was scared to even turn the corner because behind every turn, every closed door there could be a zombie or even worse a licker or mutant frogs.  Lickers were mutant people who crawled on walls and had these long tongues which they ate you with. The frog things could run faster than the characters and took several rounds of shot gun shells to finish them. But the best parts were the puzzles where if you didn’t get them right you could die. They were challenging and frustrating. The other awesome part is the government conspiracy behind the release of the T-Virus (zombie making disease).

The second one, I would have to say is the scariest, Fatal Frame. I wasn’t really sure what the point of the game was because I didn’t get really far; it was that scary. For me, nothing really scares me, and if it does its gotta be extremely scary that it would even give grown folks nightmares. So in the game all that I remember is I am walking down this hall in an old creepy house. I have nothing to see with except the flashlight the character is holding. As you continue down the hall it ends and right in front of you a ghost walks by, at the same time scary music blasts and I drop the remote. I couldn’t play. I was terrified.

                                The next two games I didn’t really have time to play them because of the lack of time Blockbuster or Hollywood would allow. The games are Condemned and Left for dead. Condemned was scary because it only gives you the point of view through the eyes of the character. So just like in real life you have to turn all the way around to see what’s behind you. And you never know what it could be. Because I didn’t play the game for very long I didn’t know what caused this outbreak of disease in the city. Left for dead I never played but I watched. It’s intense zombies come running at you in full speed screaming and blood everywhere. Its you and 4 other people and you have to make it from location to location in order to survive. You are armed to the teeth with guns and ammo. I want to play this game because I know it will give my daily dose of adrenaline rush and the scare.

                Some people don’t like playing the games they are fine and scared just watching. But not me. When you are holding the remote is totally different from watching. Because when you’re holding the remote it’s like you’re in the game. You make the moves, the decisions; you’re the one being chased. It’s amazing how with our imaginations we can transport ourselves into these games. I love the feeling of being scared, the feeling of running for my life. I know that if a zombie attack actually happens then I am prepared.

                I haven’t played video games in a while since I moved to Humboldt and I think I’m going trhough withdrawls…

The Good, the bad, The Batman.

This blog is going to be about why Batman is so great. It’s going to look at not only the Batman but the man behind the mask Bruce Wayne and the choices he made. Also with this analysis I will put an end to the debate whether Batman or Superman is a better superhero.

Batman is not a “superhero” in the sense that he is seen as a vigilante. He also isn’t a “super hero” because he doesn’t have super powers that came from a radioactive spider, krypton, or mutant DNA. Batman relies solely on his skills in fighting. People say that he would be nothing without his suit but I disagree, if Bruce Wayne was indeed not dressed as Batman and was being robbed I’m positive that he would kick some serious butt.

Another reason that makes Batman so great is that people can relate to him. When Bruce was a child his parents were shot and killed right in front of him. I must admit that might also be the reason why he has some mental disorders, split personality. But like any other human he was hurt by this traumatic event but he also never wanted it to happen again to anyone. He wanted revenge but not with the spill of blood. This was the start of Batman.

Statically speaking any other person who might have witnessed such an event would have turned to violence and revenge. But not the Batman, that only fueled his desire to do good. He made the choice to be a good guy and fight people like the ones who killed his parents. The only thing that keeps him going is his parent’s death. But that doesn’t define Bruce Wayne as a person. What defines him is the fact that he chose to do good, what defines him is the choice he made when he became the Batman.

Another trait in which people can relate to is that unlike Superman who lives in a Utopia like city, where the sun is always shinning, is Batman lives in the contrary side of Metropolis. Gotham reflects the “everyday” city where people feel helpless and long for safety. Where innocent people are killed and screams go ignored. Not all cities are like this but all cities are not as peaceful as Metropolis.

One reason why I find Batman so much better than Superman is that there are deeper psychological roots behind each character. My favorite twisted character is the Joker. Who in all sense is a greater villain than Lex Luthor. The Joker is an insane, homicidal maniac. He has many disorders from split personality, to schizophrenia, to having a substance abuse.  But despite all these faults I believe the Joker is/was a brilliant man. He had a point; any man can go insane. I think he had some kind of super sanity where he re-creates himself every day to cope with the chaotic flow of modern life. He has no real personality; it changes day to day depending on how it benefits him.  He ridicules Batman saying that he’s a weakling doomed to insanity.

            So all in all, I think Batman is a better superhero/vigilante because people can relate to him more than Superman, Who, is an alien from another planet. Superman cant really grasp the pain and sorrow regular human people go through every day. Batman can. He is, as the movie states, The Dark Knight.
