Random Rules (Guidelines) from Terry Goodkind

Some Rules of Terry Goodkind that I thought were useful.

1. "People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true."
2. "The greatest harm can come from the best of intentions."
3. "Passion rules reason."
4. "There is magic in sincere forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive."
5. "Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie."
6. "The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason."
7. "Life is the future, not the past."
8. "Deserve victory."
9. "A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole."
10. "Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self."

Fuck...Spring semester's off to a grand start...

So I get to my apartment, and only two fucking books have arrived. Amazon said they'd get here in 2-3 days but apparently that's a lie. Can't tell my parents cause they'll just give the whole "we told you to order earlier" speech which wouldn't help the situation at all. My parents are great like that. They state Mr. Obvious-shit in my face without offering helpful tips or solutions.

So, I decided to go to the bookstore to pick up freaking book from there, so my text book repertoire would grow from 2 to 3. Have the whole Ménage à trois. So I drive all the way to the bookstore, wait in line. And wouldn't you know it? My book was apparently backordered, which means they're out.

I head back to my apartment to get ready for tomorrow, when school starts. I shall start with no books at all so it'll be fun, like an adventure. I get all my bus schedule in order. And wouldn't you know it? My first two classes tomorrow are fifteen minutes apart, but I can't walk there and the bus is cutting it close. My class ends at 9:55 and my second class starts at 10:10. The bus leaves at 10:00 and arrives at the building at 10:07.

Fuck. This. Horse. Shit.

I would like to kill someone just so I have some catharsis going on.

And with this, I start my Spring semester all cheerfully with idiot people thinking I'm some fucking joker with no fucking feelings of my own. Who only grins nervously whenever some prick/bitch calls him "Asian" or refer to his "Asianess" or "Asian abilities" (which I, disgustingly, encourage) because I don't have the fucking balls to tell them all off because that wouldn't be nice of me. Or I can't tell them how offended I am that they call me that because that's what this country is all about. We judge people on race before we get to know them. No such problem in China. We referred to each other as human beings. Over here, we refer to each other by face and not by character. That comes later. Sometimes too late.

Fuck you all. How can I say it any clearer? Is God here now? Fuck him too. What has he ever done, besides rule his "children" through fear. We are his fucking favorites because we have free will which means we can choose to love him and accept him into our hearts? Fuck that. It's still fucking bullshit because it's ultimately an ultimatum. Love God freely or burn in hell for all eternity. Not giving us any choice, eh?

Well, you know what? Fuck everything. They can all burn up and die for all I care. Because I don't. And I can say all of this with a clear conscience why? Because I'm yelling at an html page on a fucking blog that no one ever. Motherfucking. Reads! So why should I fucking care about any fucking thing you all seem to care about. Republican or Democrat? Why the fuck should I care? Why the fuck does it matter? Pro-choice or Pro-Life? God as already shown he doesn't care what the fuck we do so why should you? Abort that baby if you want! I hardly see how it's the church's business what a woman fucking does with her fucking body! It's not! It's no one else's business but her own!

Why the hell can't people just accept that eventually, we're all going to disagree! Why fight over it! So what if we're infidels? What gives you the right to kill us off just because we live differently than you? God chose you? So much for all that love Martin Luther King was preaching about, huh? So what if I'm atheist? What gives you the right to decide that I'm going to hell? Who the fuck made you the judge? How would you fucking like it if you were being judged? How many fucking kids would you admit to molesting, prick? We're all human beings! We all live differently! Why is my life any of your business? Why are people so fucking interested about what I fucking did over the winter break? Just being nice? You don't fucking care what I did over the winter break. So what if my friend is gay? Why is anyone's sexual orientation any of your business? It's not! How people live their lives isn't any of anyone else's business so fucking bud out!

Why the fuck do I need a girlfriend? Why is that required? Why does everyone just want to lose their virginity's as quickly as possible? Are we all just a bunch of whores on the inside? Alcohol is lovely isn't it? So black-tar heroin. Why don't all you party-hounds who insist on partying every fucking weekend and hope to get laid and add yet another STD to your collection just inhale 50 pounds of that, crawl into a gutter and die!? But I'd be contradicting myself because that's none of my fucking business is it? So, if I choose to sit in my basement all day and play video games, that's none of your business is it? So fuck off!

Why am I saying this? I'm fucking pissed off, that's why. Why? For the above reasons. Maybe because something happened yesterday that I feel guilty about or some shit. I don't know. Or maybe because I repress all my anger and now it's come out on this page.

But you know what? Why should you care? Why should I care? No one's going to read this, anyway. Because this is just a fucking blog that no one ever fucking reads! You're all just going to glance over it without giving it a second look with the only thought going through your head: "Hey, that kid still thinks he matters. How cute. But he should stop soon because he doesn't."

Fuck you all. Fuck everything. Fuck this school. Fuck this computer. Fuck this apartment. Fuck the future. Fuck the past. Fuck this fucking fuck.

That is all.

Night.

Dur

Well, I'm bored. So I've decided to write on my blog for a moment. I've got absolutely nothing to say to any of you so if you're reading this, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's not a review, nothing deep here.

Beef Stew.

Fuck.

Bored.

Got nothing on my mind right now. Just typing. Should be heading over to the book store to get my book but...I'm too bored to do that.

Fuck you, I'm bored.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is my hero.

Review: Avatar (aka Dances with Smurfs)

After my bladder has recovered from the 3-hour excursion that is Avatar, I sit down in front of my laptop, trying to gather my thoughts on this movie.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

This movie...is just...GORGEOUS!!!!

Now, as you probably know already, most (if not all) of this movie is computer-generated. From the characters to the bugs to the locales. But DEAR GOD! If I was a few years dumber, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference! There were times where I was sitting in my chair (with a bladder full to exploding) and I kept thinking "Holy crap! I can't believe that's computer!" Seriously, this is just beautiful in terms of the use of computer graphics. Kudos to James Cameron.

But now, for the actual movie...

...nothing new...

I'm not kidding. The plot...if you've watched Fern Gully or Dances with Smurfs...you've pretty much seen this movie. It's predictable, it's sometimes redundant...there's a big moment near the end that is totally Deus Ex Machina that made me cringe...

But the experience is just priceless. Even though the plot is boring, the overall experience is just awe inspiring. The world of Pandora is just so alive and rich that I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't go back there. In fact, James Cameron may have created his own little version of Star Trek or Star Wars. I predict many hundreds of years of comic books and video games will follow this film.

...that's all I've got, really. It's a great film if even when you get down to the bear bones, it could have done with some work. Some of the characters are so one-sided that they got boring. Even the villain wasn't that villainous to me, even with the scars all over his body. But this is definitely a must see movie if only because it makes history. The graphics are just astoundingly real and wonderful.

Done.
