Resurrection

This following entry is way out of place considering the material published here, but this is a part of my life that I'd like to share with you all.

As you all know, I started writing for the Valencia Voice (VCC's newspaper). It was my first shot in college to do something that I enjoy doing. Now everybody knows that my favorite place to be is at the newsroom. Hell, that's the reason why I even go to VCC.

Anyway, I submitted a few stories, one of them being from a soccer game I covered with a few colleagues of mine. I saw the page that will be used for the story and I have to say, I felt really good about myself. My name was on that tag line, and every moment I looked at it, I felt even more ecstatic.

I finally found my way again after years of drifting away. I found a true purpose again in my life; something I haven't felt since I left Puerto Rico. Before all of this, I was truly miserable (despite my positive outlook on life). It's like being a super hero and not serving your purpose. You hate yourself, you hate everyone around you, and sometimes you just want to disappear.

I found the place where I wanted to be all along. A place where my life makes sense again, where I can let myself go and not be afraid of releasing my soul. I've found a place where I belong, and I'm loving every goddamn minute of it.

I'm truly convinced that this is what I love to do, and I'm proud of that. I've risen from the ashes again, and this time, I'm not holding back for anything or for anyone.

I will do my best and I will be there for my friends, family and colleagues. I don't want for myself alone to be great, I want to see them be great too because I realized that I'm nothing without them.

I also want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the people that have helped me out when I needed it the most. I want to thank the Valencia Voice staff for giving me something to believe in again; you guys are the best. I also want to say "I love you mom and sis."

Mostly I'd like to apologize for all of the wrong I did to certain people in my life. There's no excuse for what I've done, no matter how messed up I was. You guys deserve more than that, and I promise to try and mend those wounds.

I can't wait for this paper to be released, for it will be full of new surprises. This doesn't mean I wont stop writing in here. This is my baby, and as long as you guys keep reading, I'll keep writing.

Obama's "Controversial" Speech on Education

Yesterday, President Barack Obama was at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia giving a speech on our education. Nothing to it right? Well, many people thought it was a very controversial speech. Many parents didn't feel comfortable with the fact that our president was talking to the kids of America. They claimed that the Head of State was instilling "socialist" ideals upon them.


Here's the deal behind this so-called controversy. It ain't about Obama being a socialist (and it's clear that he isn't one), it's about him being black. Yes, I pulled out the race card because this is the underline issue here. It's about racist parents feeling threatened at the fact that a black man is telling their dim witted kids what to do. His speech wasn't offensive whatsoever. If anything, it serves as a rallying cry for these kids to do something with their lives for their benefit and for the benefit of our country.


Now as much as I love bashing people for no reason, I have a very good reason to bash the following sad excuse of a person. Shanneen Barron (Nazi last name, oh yeah), a suburban mother in Colorado said the following in regards to the speech: "Thinking about my kids in school having to listen to that just really upsets me. I'm an American. They are Americans, and I don't feel that's OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now." Keep in mind that she said this before the text or the actual speech itself was released for the public.


First: What the fuck is she talking about? She's either the most ignorant person in her neighborhood or she's just a racist bitch. Did she even see the speech after that filth came out of her mouth? He's doing what she should probably be doing at home with her kids. He's telling them the truth: Go to school, or we're all screwed. And what's with "I'm American. They are Americans" bullshit? President Obama is an American too. She definitely needs to get her shit straight! Hell, this speech should apply to people like her. Educate yourself before you open your ignorant trap!


Or maybe she should really express what's really bothering her. What's the matter? You don't like the black man telling your white kid what to do? It's not like he showed his dick on TV (you'd probably need 2 TVs to see it if he did). Deal with it, he's our president and he's got about three more years left in office.


Now guys, personally I don't see any issue with this speech. In fact, I found it to be quite inspirational with great rhetoric and eloquence. My colleagues and I agree that the best line of his speech was: "So I expect you to get serious this year." It's a very powerful sentence and it is the truth in all its essence. We have to get serious about our education. A lot of people put fun in front of education and it ain't right. Now I ain't tellin' y'all to not have fun. Hell I'm an advocate of fun (or party animal) myself. All I'm saying is, this is our future, the future of our country. Lets get serious about the important things in life. It ain't just about education, it's also about our jobs, our relationships, our spiritual lives. If we do get serious about the fundamental aspects of our lives, I guarantee you we'll be living a very satisfying life.

Back from Hiatus!

That's right, I'm back. By the way, hiatus is nothing gay. I know it does sound so, but it isn't. Look it up on Google fuckers. So anyway, what's been going on since I was gone? In regards to my personal life, I can mention a couple of things. I finished the mighty Rock Band 2 Endless Setlist, on my own mind you (blog coming soon), I finished school and ended up on the President's List, again! I also got a job at Best Buy, so I'll be rockin that blue for a while.

So as you all know, I like to tackle serious issues, and I seem to have found one that involves foreign language speakers. Now I'm a Spanish speaker (I'm Puertorican) and every time I'm with another Spanish speaker, you guessed it, I talk to him/her in Spanish. Now here's the problem, non Spanish speakers who complain about us not speaking English. Their excuse? It's rude to talk in another language when people are around, or "you're looking at me, that means that you're talking about me."

BULLSHIT!

I speak Spanish because I don't wanna talk to you in the first place. I'm rude by nature, and I could care less, but this isn't a rude gesture. You are the one being rude for interrupting my conversation in order to satisfy yourself. God that's sad. Oh and if you are a guy, I'm not even gonna look at ya, unless you're looking for me or if I need some change. If you are a girl, chances are I may be looking at your delicious ass or admiring your starry eyes (which I may compliment). Nonetheless, I'm very objective with my conversations and I usually don't talk about people that don't matter. It's not my style; it's a waste of my time.

There you have it, first blog since last month. It's not much, but it'll do. I'll be back for more, no worries. So long, my beautiful minions.

Manny's PC Invaded by Nasty Virus

So I finished writing my lit response essay for tomorrow and I decided to play Civ 3 for a while. Lady May sent me a text that her computer froze everytime she tried to open The Realm from her browser. I figured it would be the layout, so I decided to change it.

I checked out this random website for Blogger templates when suddenly my Firefox browser froze and my computer began to be bombarded by a shitload of malware. So I resorted to my ISP's anti-virus (CA Anti-Virus), and tried to remove the spyware. There were two very specific ones that CA couldn't kill. They were "SystemGuard 2009" and "Advanced Virus Remover". This attempt was futile however, as it failed to remove them. Everytime I rebooted my computer, the virus would still be there. Frustration starts to build, and tries to drive me from my senses. My biggest problem with these was that they both deactivated the Windows Task Manager and the "regedit" feature which would've allowed me to weed these two out directly without a middleman. It seemed as if I couldn't do anything about it.

I didn't let this obstacle outsmart me though. I put on my hacker helmet and I went down the trenches of the underground. I really didn't feel like doing an MS-DOS command barrage, so I resorted into other utilities. Luckily, I didn't have to go too far, for I found myself the cure to this disease. It's called Malwarebytes, and it's an anti-virus guaranteed to remove these programs. The scanning was free fortunately and I managed to remove all of the spyware that was killing my baby.

Now you guys know that I'm always at the public's service and it is my duty to you to inform you of this wonderful product. Trust me, it's gonna be the next big thing. I'd also like to advise you all to stay away from this website blogger-templates.blogspot.com/, for it was the same one that infected my computer. Peace out homies.

Ok, Stop!

I'm sick and tired of hearing about Michael Jackson over every possible air wave available. Enough already! He last Thursday for reasons not yet known, I understand that he was a great artist in life. But lets be real, it isn't about him, it's a much bigger problem.

One of the things that I really hate about American society is that they are so celebrity obsessed! They don't realize that they are simply people who are talented in what they do and the media makes a huge deal about them. While I agree that all famous people have a certain amount of influence even from ancient times (people like Cicero and Homer), they aren't gods, ladies and gentlemen.

When I was younger, I was brought up Catholic, and I was taught that only God and God Himself is worthy of reverence. It's sad how a "Christian" society idolizes people like the King of Pop, and others like Elvis, and even athletes like LeBron and Kobe. Have Americans lost their minds in the sense that they've forgotten their roots? I don't care whether you are a conservative or a liberal, worshiping people is wrong, period! I'm not a religious person, but even I think that amount of respect should only be reserved to the Creator.

So Jacko died, and that's too bad, he was very talented, and was the best at what he did. But keep in mind that he's only a man with many, many flaws. Please don't start another Elvis trend. People who revere people, especially artists are idiots. For your sake, don't be your father or your grandfather in that aspect, we're better than that.

However, due to my belief in respecting the dead (not worshiping them), I'll light up my candle by way of video :P. Now YouTube is being a bitch because they won't allow embedding of Jacko's videos, so click here for the full version of Thriller.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

Faith Ain't Gonna Cut It: Brazil beats USA

Alright so I'll admit it, when I saw that 2-0 score with USA winning, I actually had faith that they would win. The reality of the matter is that according to statistics and history itself, this would only be a temporary situation. This thought came to be reinforced even more when Brazil's Fabiano scored the first goal. I said: "Here it is, the beginning of the end for USA."

And so it came to be that Brazil took the lead in the late minutes of the game and took the title from USA's hands. This proves once again that the US isn't up to the level of the big dogs of football. A little quote from Ken Carpenter also supports this point: "USA shows it has a long way to go on the world "football" stage. Only one way to classify losing a 2-0 lead - gag." I couldn't agree more, Ken. I mean, how could somebody mess that up?

Now for those of you who don't know much about football (or soccer in the States), a two point lead is a very comfortable lead. It gives room for just a bit of error, and as long as the defense stands strong, the possibility of winning increases substantially. However for the US failed to keep up with this tactic, giving way to Brazil's slightly better offense. If the US kept a tight, and tough defense, Brazil would've had no chance against them, but nobody's perfect.

However, I have seen an improvement in team USA's offense, and when I saw them beat Spain, it was definitely a cold day in hell. Also having a 2-0 lead over Brazil, that's quite something, but again they couldn't hold their own defensively. So here's the deal: improve the defense while maintaining a solid offense, and you'll have a true world class team in no time.

Manny Dee's Player's Handguide: Pimpology 101 Chapter 1

So here it is, the long awaited first part of the Player's Handguide. Here you're gonna learn the basics of getting some girls. Now keep in mind, as much as it doesn't seem so, Pimpology consists of different scientific concepts like Biology, Psychology. Don't feel intimidated by all this. By the time you're done reading this part, you're gonna be hookin up with girls like a true mack daddy.

Chapter 1

Alright, the first thing I'm gonna bring up is appearance. Now the truth is, you don't need to look your best in order to get some play, but if you're a fledgling, or you're ugly as hell, I recommend to look top notch. So you're gonna need some tips on this field. First on this list is your hair. You always wanna keep a sharp, clean cut; hair is one of the things that girls enjoy looking at, and a well-groomed playa will gain an advantage over some scruffy lookin fella. It doesn't matter if you have long or short hair as long as you keep it clean. You also wanna keep your facial hair on check. If you have a beard keep it trimmed as close as possible to the skin. If you have a mustache, keep the hair off the lips, a well trimmed mustache is often overlooked by the young playas. Sometimes five o'clock shadows look good on some fellas, but I don't recommend it for everyone, so if you don't wear a beard, shave it homie, it's your best bet.

Next there's hygiene. Now I gotta say, this is where a lot of the fledglings falter. Homies, when girls want nasty sex, they don't mean shit crumbs and stains all over your shit. Hygiene is very important, and this includes: a thorough shower, complete dental hygiene (brush, floss and mouthwash), and deodorant. One might say "This is all basic shit, Manny," but you'd be surprised how many nasty mutha fuckas are out there. Now when I mean by deodorant, I mean some anti-perspirant heavy duty shit, especially if you are a sweaty brotha. Now smell is the number one sense that is used to attract the opposite sex (whether you are a male or a female).

*Warning: Biology Explanation!*

Pheromones: Chemical signals that trigger a natural response in another member of the same species. Different pheromones are used for different situations. In this case we're gonna talk about sex pheremones which are pheremones that signal the opposite sex for sexual intercourse. Now according to some studies humans have pheromones; arm pit odor actually works as a sex pheremone for women. Further studies have proved that male sweat smell attracts his female counterpart.

*End of Biology Explanation*

Alright so here's the deal, the reality is that some people stink like hell. I always recommend the use of deodorant, but I don't condone the use of cologne. Deodorant I can understand, we sweat, the shit gets on our clothes and it ruins the image. Cologne on the other hand I believe isn't really necessary because it will actually overlap the pheromones, and your chances of hookin up will slightly decline. Now there are some fledglings that believe religiously that bathing in cologne will get you laid; it won't, trust me homie. However, if you do have a heavy smell, I recommend just a splash on the neck and arms so that you can mask the bad smell, but not the pheromonal effects.

Last, but not least, the threads. What to wear in order to successfully holla at some girls. Now this all depends on what the ladies like. Some girls like thug lookin homies, others prefer casual, and others like homies in suits. Even though these girls have different tastes, they all agree on one thing, the brotha must always look fresh. So always keep your clean clothes in check, wear some fly sneakers (or shoes if you're dressin casual), and most important, accesorize. A nice gold or silver watch usually does the trick, but some homies go as far as to filling themselves up with bling, so experiment with different kinds of jewelry.

So that's it for now folks, expect Chapter 2 some time this week maybe, so make sure to stay hooked, and spread the word homies, 'cause it's gonna be a long ride.

Barack Has "Hella Swag" and Mad Kung Fu Skills

So I was talkin with my homegirls online when one of them linked me the following video:


Alright, I know what you're thinking. I don't idolize Obama in any certain way. I just figured this is some funny shit, homie's got hella swag! He's talkin' bout how his daughters like to listen to "Drop It Like It's Hot" when some clown suddenly drops a beat. What's a brother gonna do when he checkin that beat? He gon' dance; that's all he can do! He couldn't make a fool out of himself in front of his people, he did what he had to do, and homies, it was well played haha. Gotta love this country man. I think it's about time someone high up in society sets a new trend "Chill and Optimistic."

Now another thing that never ceases to impress me from Big O, is the following:


POW! Not only is he one of the coolest mofos to live in the White House, but my homie is also a ninja! Look at that shit! Killed a fucking fly, just like that! He's even bragging about it in the end too, "I got the sucka!" hahaha.

Now my homies from PETA jumped on that shit though. They're like, "Oh noes, he killed a fly, somebody do something! He's a stone cold killa, we can't allow that!" Now as much as I respect my PETA homies, guys the fly asked for it. You simply can't just buzz in on an interview like that wasting valuable airtime, and not expect to get knocked the fuck out! Be real homes, be real.

Well that's it for now, and I know, you guys are expecting for Part 1 of the Player's Handguide. It's ok, don't tie your panties in a knot, it's coming, and sooner than you think ;)

Karma's a Bitch, Poor Hillary

Yup that's right folks, according to the New York Daily News she fell on her ass (allegedly slipped) on Wednesday at the State Dept. garage. She had to undergo a two hour surgery at George Washington University Hospital due to a fracture on her right elbow.

As a joke from President Obama, "Secret Service spotted Richard Holbrooke spraying WD40" all over the driveway where his boss fell, he said.

"Now on top of the cost of health care and the recovery plan we have another fiscal problem. "Fortunately, the lawyers tell me Hillary is ready to settle."

See, I knew this was coming; you simply can't try to fuck over someone and expect to get away with it. During the primaries Hillary did some serious mudslinging against Obama, and I'm talkin some really nasty shit here. It was simply a matter of time for karma to catch up; it's a mutha fucka. Now it's never personal here (lol ok, maybe sometimes), but I gotta say, you should never try to pound on your fellow party members; it's just wrong! Now look what happened: whoops, slip, fall, crack... a broken elbow. Next time, try to be a little nice. We get the fact that you and your husband are political nerds and know your shit, but be considerate when you know you're losing and let the other guy take the torch, ok?

On another note what is up with the Daily News? I was reading the Hillary article yesterday and they mentioned Bill Clinton, but they mentioned him as "President" Bill Clinton. Um, typo perhaps? Didn't you mean "former president"? 'Cause if you do mean to say just plain "President," you guys have issues. This is 2009, not 1994, get it straight, mmk?

Philosophy Class Paralyzed by One Man

(**Original Post on Facebook: Thursday, May 14, 2009**)

Hey guys, now you all know that I'm not a narcissist, but this time I can't really help to brag about my class experience today.

The topic today in ethical philosophy consisted of two contrasting theories of ethics: Kantian ethics and Hume's emotivism.

What did I just say? Ok in ethics, the philosopher Immanuel Kant believes that there is a Universal Rational Principle. Basically saying that morality is ultimately ruled by reason and logic; a principle that one can will to be universal. For instance, you can't will upon the entire population that killing is morally right, therefore it shouldn't be done.

Hume on the other hand believes that everyone has a Universal Feeling of Benevolence. Basically through emotion, one can have a valued moral judgment.

So now that you are somewhat familiar with the subject, it'll be easier to understand my little stunt.

The professor gave us an example in which two women on Thanksgiving day, decide to go to a homeless shelter to feed them. Social status is the same for both women, they are fortunate ones (good education, good job, money, all that stuff), but Rachel does it because she believes through reason that it is the right thing to do. On the other hand, Eva did it because she felt like it was the right thing to do (relying on her emotions). The question was, which one of these two women are more morally developed.

Of course I advocated for Rachel due to rationalism. I backed it up with strong, fundamental reasons. On the other hand, there was this one chick in the class saying that Eva was more developed because as a person, she doesn't want to be told what to do whether it was through reason or some other entity.

Knowing that her logic is flawed, I had no choice but to release my guns. Of course this following question halted the class in it's tracks:

"So basically what you are saying is, since because she felt right about doing it, then it's morally right. However, what if I don't want to go to a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving because I don't feel like it, does that make me morally right as well?"

Of course she shut the hell up and even the professor was stunned by the question. Everybody was looking at me as if I have killed someone, and silence took over the room momentarily. Soon after, the professor finally got back to teaching the class, as normal.

So yeah, there you have it, The Unstoppable Force once again on the move. Proving that if you can't back your stuff up, keep silent, it's for your best.

*Narcissism Ends*

There you have it, the highlight of my day. Enjoy!

I Am McLovin!

(**This blog was entered November 15th, 2008**)

All right so everyone knows how much I love the movie Superbad. It's an awesome movie and mostly it's all thanks to one specific character, "Fogell" a.k.a. "McLovin".
Overall it was a good movie, but Fogell stole the show man, fuckin hilarious. Here's a video of some of his best moments in the movie:

Best of McLovin/Fogell

Anyway the point of this blog is, since I'm a huge McLovin fan, I decided to make a fake I.D. just like him (display pic). If you don't have this I.D. somewhere in your computer, even in some dark corner of your hard drive, than you are simply just a loser, lol. Anyway if you want a McLovin I.D. just send me an e-mail with your picture at mannydelatorre@live.com if you don't know how to photo edit. If you do however, here's the layout for you to do so:



So remember, there's a McLovin in each and every one of us. It's the little voice that says "Have fun" along with "chicka chicka yeyah". So embrace it, don't be a fuckin square ;)

New Firefox Logo

(**This blog was originally entered on November 10th, 2008**)

So as you all know, my default internet browser is Mozilla Firefox. I cannot stress how much I love this browser. It's comfortable, safe and very reliable. Internet Explorer, eat your heart out. So anyway I've been thinking about how to expand awareness of this amazing browser. I came up with an idea and I believe Mozilla will agree with this one.

As you all know, if you want to sell something, and by sell I'm saying taking it to mainstream, you have to appeal to the consumer base. So I bring to all of you the new proposed Firefox logo:



Now I know what you are thinking,

but yes that's a real cat and I know that it's not a fox, I ain't that stupid guys come on. Think about it though, it's just an idea, they can just photoshop some fucking fox in it or perhaps an even better idea! Change the browser's name to Mozilla Firepuss. Now isn't that appealing?

Anyway back to the proposed logo. It's perfect, what else can I say? The cat is in a very convenient spot, it's support is rather full and supple and that color orange screams out: "Use Me!" Now who wouldn't want to have a browser with that adorable creature to the top left of the browser window huh? If Mozilla doesn't take this into consideration, they are most likely to be screwed by future browsers who will indeed use this tactic in order to build a consumer base...

In other issues, I've recently been investigating certain attacks on Wal-Mart greeters and I have to say, I'm disgusted by this. Come on guys, these are old people who are just trying to make a living. Please don't discriminate against them, it's not their fault that they are too old to do anything else.

Alright so stay safe you guys and remember, don't kick Grandpa Wal-Mart just because he's useless.

Never Again!

(**This blog was entered on November 10th, 2008)

All right so dig this. I have an e-mail handle that is very, very old. One that I haven't used in years to be honest. Yeah, it's been 8 years since it got established and boy was it famous. Can't reveal it though, it was quite the troublemaker back in the day ;)

So anyway, it had at least 4000 unread e-mails. WHAT?! Yeah dude, at least 4k. I know that's a shit load of mail. Most of it was old e-mails on how people were gonna kill me, others consisted of explicit sexual ones, some college stuff and some guild stuff from WoW (World of Warcraft). I decided to clean it up and use it as a gamer handle since I'll soon be playing online games again.

Boy was that a mistake. I spent 2 hours deleting all that shit and man it's tiring. I found some old e-mails that were really funny, some were sad. I managed to find a couple of people who I used to talk to back in the day. Though I don't remember much about them. A lot of e-mails consisted of messages from my old Oak Ridge High classmates. Yeah I didn't like most of em, except for the select few (you know who you are ;)). I had around 2000 people on my very first page and most were from Oak Ridge. I can't help it, I was pretty popular back then, even if I wasn't liked much LOL. Well if ya can't beat me, join me right?

Anyway I feel accomplished by this. Oh I also found a shitload of music that I thought was dead and buried. I was surprised when I found the backup for my Bang Camaro CD (since my fucking step-sister and her dim-witted fuck toy, I mean husband took my CDs). So now I'm just backing up all my CDs and making copies (I originally bought these CDs, so no it isn't piracy! LOL And I'm not selling these so fuck off). My iTunes song count right now is 2k flat. Slowly but surely, it's regaining it's old glory.

Today was a good day, it's like finding buried treasure. Never again will I delete 4000 messages from an e-mail account though... It's suicide. I guess it's a good thing, gave me something to do after True Blood was over (only 1 episode left *cries*). I also have a new e-mail now. It's the one I've been using for the past 6 months. So really there was no reason to delete all them messages. But hey, if ya think that's bogus, fuck you pal. You're wishing right now you had 4000 messages to delete ya, sourpuss lol. Just kiddin.

Anyway, tomorrow's blog (or should I say, later today) will be an interesting one, make sure you stay in and check it out as soon as I post it.

Ciao my little gremlins.

So It's Over...

(**This blog was written originally on November 7th, 2008**)

I'm kinda bummed out that the election is over. Now I'll have nothing interesting to watch on TV, or read over the internet and stuff like that. After the election, everything seems plain. It's like, "Oh hey Obama won, cool" and that's it you know. People do not really understand the meaning of this election. This is a new era that has been established thanks to the people of the country for voting for a black man. Our first black president.

People are so racist that they actually think that by voting for a black man, there will be change. That's not how it is guys. If the republicans had a candidate with the smarts and eloquence of Obama, it would've been a fair fight and Obama would've lost. So get over it, it ain't really that big of a deal.

So back to what's important. Fans of mine called me on election day. One in particular told me that she was afraid that Obama would become the next president of the United States of America. I understand this fan's fear. We as people have to admit that he is politically inexperienced. Nonetheless he isn't stupid. He surrounds himself with people who have great experience in foreign affairs and economic issues. It gets better however as he named Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff. I'd say it's a good choice, Emanuel knows his shit, he's the Golden Boy of the Democratic Party, and dig this, he's a Jew lol. Fun stuff right? Anyway there is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to inexperience, he'll surround himself with people who know what they are doing, Obama is a smart man. He's demonstrated me so far in the way he approached campaigning that he can change with the seasons. Meaning that any problems that arise, he's able to adapt himself to the situation and take control of it. And that my friends, that's something.

Anyway the people have spoken. This election wasn't about picking a white president or a black president. It was about choosing between a solution or hope and change. The people chose the latter. Godspeed Mr. President Elect.

Wow, What a Ride!

(**This blog entry was originally entered Tuesday, November 4th, 2008**)



So hey guys, today is Election Day. Boy oh boy, I wish this race wasn't really over. It was so much fun lol. I mean seriously, I'm pretty sure we won't see another race like this for many years to come. I'd have to say my favorite character of the whole race would have to be Sarah Palin. She reminds me of a 4 year old child. I'd have to say however she's pretty hot for her age. I guess that's why she was so successful at those rallies, redneck republicans would get a fuckin chubby everytime she spoke and winked lol. Boy oh boy, ain't she the most stupid critter you've ever seen?

Oh and how about Grandpa McCain? He shouldn't even be running, he'll have a heart attack. Gotta love them bloopers during rallies. Oh and the debates, THE DEBATES! Lol. He's just hilarious. So defensive and hostile, desperation must be a bitch. Admit it grandpa, you would be doing a service to this country by losing. We do not want an airhead bimbo being the Commander in Chief whose husband is an Alaskan Secessionist, should you die of a heart attack. No way.

Obama... What can I say about Obama? It's hard to crack on him really. He's too perfect. Dude don't be an asshole, gives us some material for jokes! Lol. I love him though, he's the Beautiful Chocolate Man we've all been waiting for, haha. There's really not much I can say about him dammit. He's a great orator, has amazing logic and rhetoric.

Last but not least... the Clintons. 3 words: Fucking Sore Losers. What's the matter fellas, Kunta stole your candidacy? Guys you are Democrats and as Democrats, you gotta support your presidential candidate, even if he's black. So kwitcher bitchin, put a fuckin smile on your awful faces and tell everyone that he's the man for the job.

So guys with a race this good, I honestly wouldn't want it to end. It's just as bad as knowing that as of this week, there are only 2 episodes left of True Blood *cries*. So hey I hope you all enjoyed it and if you are reading this and haven't gone out and vote, THEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GET YOUR ASS UP AND VOTE GODDAMIT!

To All The Skinny Haters

So ever since middle school, I've had a great share of girls. Of course, I've had many haters along the way. The reason they hate me however is because I was a big guy who was with some hot chicks at the time.

Ever since I was a little kid, I've been big. Until this day, it's still the same situation. I'm 6'2" 260lbs. Honestly, I don't mind because it's part of who I am. Being skinny would be like inserting a butt plug into me, I will never get used to it.

So back to the haters. Listen guys, if you are mad because the big guy is getting hot chicks that you are most likely not getting, then you need to get a life. It's not my fault that there are chubby chasers in the world, I'm just a pretty lucky guy. Oh not to mention I'm pretty good at courting ;) Guys you may hate me, but the issue is not with me, it's with yourselves. You don't really hate me, you hate yourselves because you are skinny folks that can't get laid.

Here's a simple advice for you guys: Quit making other people more important in your life then yourself. By hating me, you are pretty much idolizing me. Dude it ain't that big a deal. If you wanna know the problem, look deep down inside. In fact, most of you guys in high school would even ask me to hook you guys up with some girls, and I did! 'Cause that's the kind of guy I am. I guide the cock, not block it and that my brothers and sisters, is a friend.

So instead of planning some evil scheme to get rid of me, go take a shower, get dressed and go out, have fun. You'll enjoy it.

We Asked For It!

Being the avid Rock Band player that I am, it wasn't too hard to master the songs in the first game on drums. Maybe one or two that were a pain, but easily manageable. So I'm thinking that players like me were thinking: "It'd be nice if Harmonix had harder songs for the next installment." Boy oh boy, little did we know that our wish would come true.

Overall Rock Band 2 is a pretty easy game for me as a drummer. As I progressed through the main set list, I said: "Hmm this isn't so bad." That is until I reached the impossible songs.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" I yelled as I played my first impossible song ("Battery" by Metallica). Too many notes on my fucking TV man, so not cool (well it is cool, I just wasn't expecting it lol). So in the course of a day or two I nailed that bitch to the wall.

Another song that was hard for me was "Everlong" by Foo Fighters. As one of my favorite love songs (nobody knew this until now lol), I figured: "Hey it may not be so bad." Turns out that on Rock Band drums it's harder than it seems. It's not hard really, just a matter of technique rather than complexity. I can pass it, I just can't five star it, but I'll get it eventually.

Then came "Painkiller" by Judas Priest... Um let me just say that this is where Harmonix lost it's mind. Very, very hard song, rather easy on drums though. I think it's the easiest instrument on this song. This song is arguably the hardest song in the game for a band. I believed it to be the hardest, but boy was I wrong about this...

"Panic Attack" by Dream Theater became the hardest song today, harder than "Painkiller" and "Battery" altogether. The reason why this song is called "Panic Attack" is because it's what you'll get during and after the fucking song. Holy fucking shit this song was hard. Took me like 10 tries before I could even finish it, now I can 4 star it. Nonetheless a very tough song. Oh but it didn't stop there!

Last, but certainly not fucking least: "Visions" by Abnormality. This is where Harmonix went bat shit... "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" among so many other things popped into mind when I tried this song the first time. I believed at that time that I was gonna never do this song. So after a 4th try, my body was begging to stop (I was playing the impossible setlist before so my body was pretty beat up), so I did. I decided I wasn't gonna play yesterday (Sunday) so that I could rest up a bit. Then I got bored though, as usual, and I gave it a go. I see "Visions" there staring at me in the eye, taunting me as if I was never gonna achieve victory over it. I gave it a go and the first time I tried it, I finished with three stars. "WOOOOOOOOOOOO! OH MY FUCKING GOD I DID IT!" echoed throughout the empty apartment as I saw the end of the song. Oh yeah, I did it, and boy do I feel good about it.

It doesn't stop here of course, I'm still trying to come around on scheduling the "Endless Setlist" for RB1 with my homie Shea, so I gotta get that outta the way. As for RB2... Shea doesn't know the songs yet, so I guess I'll just keep playing with her once a week so that she can get used to them until she reaches the impossible songs, which will probably be a while becuase they are a BITCH!

So that's it for now, I will be anouncing the "Endless Setlist" bash pretty soon. I will be inviting some people to chill with us so that they can witness this crazy event and have lots of fun playing with us. So pay close attention to the possible next RB blog and thanks for reading, cyas! :)
