  a Few Thoughts on Politics

  *Edit* I Realize this was kind of a lengthy blog which isnt somthing I do too often.But if your following US politics even slightly. I thought you'd appreicate this.*

  Lastnight Hell-Fire21 posted a blog thats inspired my own blogging. Lately I've been watching the presidential debates, still trying to sort through the mounds of crap the media has been feeding us steadily over the last few months. I'd rather 86 both canidates and start this whole damn thing over from the beginning. But this morning my cousin had sent one of those e-mails that you just forward, and usually I'm not one for that forwarding junk and I delete them. But in the background of this one there were played two songs. I recgonized both of them and googled the lyrics for them "would have posted the songs themselves or atleast a link but sorry im runnin dial up here". But the lyrics to these two numbers really fit in to all thats happeneing with this election.

  So with no more ado.Here is "Sales Pitch" and "Follow Your Leader" - By John Reuben.

  Sales Pitch:
  Everyone's got a hidden agenda watch them push it on you, everyones got a hidden agenda dont pretend not to.Its a battle for your mind and a battle for your pocket book,they'll even play on your emotions until your heart is hooked,reel them in.Tell me whats your intent no mister salesman you dont have my confidence,see I'm not sure I can trust your heart so dont feed me your lies disguised in sheep garb.Everyone's got an agenda can you tell me what for? Everyone's got an agenda can you tell me whats yours?From the liberal media to the conservative core,from politics to the dude tryin to play it cool on the dance floor.It's human nature it runs deep and reeks of secrets,no matter how hard you try no man can keep it,for a time maybe but one day your gonna have to face it and when that time comes you wont be able to fake it.--Left yourself lying in the dark waiting to be exposed,catch yourself hiding from your heart and what God only knows.Smile put on your game face your deathbed awaits and sure there's grace but its going to sting a bit. Try to sell it to God and see if he buys your sales pitch. Watch them tell you they're more than they're worth,watch them take advantage of the church,But then again stepping stones were meant to be walked on.they'll even come back once the floorboards are gone, and they're sitting in the basment pondering energy wasted trying to figure out how to make it.take it to the innocent and manipulate it, Job well done religion look what you've created.Easily slipping easily fading away easily forgetting why it was that I was made easily saying all the right things I need to say in order to make it easier for myself to get paid. I Dont like it like this these moments of trite bliss this propoganda is lifeless move at the speed of which light is fast forward through time as I write this,now I might not have been the wisest but I put my soul into each line if money aint the motive its priceless, I follow a trend called timeless.--These folks dont walk it but they go about it and they talk it, now-a-days they'll turn anything into product. Merchandise name your price try and turn a profit, Even the sacreds been turned dishonest.

  Follow Your Leader:
  They've got me pinned against a wall,it's political and predictable anything you say will be exaggerated and completely blown out of proportion.Ignore them if you can but I doubt you will,they're out to control how people feel,by pushing their agenda on your sub-concience,while your unaware they start the brainwashing process. Time to call out the unwilling,the ones who need to be cut deep in order to have feeling,you're not used to facing opposition you've done all the talking now its time to listen.I understand you want to make a difference,well you can start by sticking to your own buisness,you're entertaining man trying to be a politician, stop abusing your position. Follow him, follow them, follow me, follow who,Follow your leader. Know the truth before you try to turn me into a beilever and make me follow your leader. Conservative uptight right-wing republican. The last I checked I was none of them, but thats the brush you wanna paint me with, taint me with, some aim to please you aim and miss. A.D.D maybe? but I cant tune you out I'd change the station but the signals too loud,And your too proud to realize your a moron.Defend what you want whether its right or wrong, and this applies to both sides of the equation. Arrogant men in power sure are frustrating,on a pedastal you hear them ranting and raving proudly proclaiming what they know nothing about.I hear you talkin loud but I will not allow tinsel town to show me how to run my life,sure you can sing and dance but that dont mean you're qualified to give America advice.

  (Sorry I said I'd have this done by morning but I was trying to find some links that would play the songs in their entirety)

  The Next Generation

  I'm kinda bored at the moment, and I think after being gone for so long I have some catch-up blogging to take care of.

  I've mentioned my brother a few times in my older blogs, but I decided tonight I'd do a blog in tribute to my little protege.

  This started just because he impressed me heavily today. Let me start out by saying there is 12 years between us. (making him 6 years old) Last week I had rented Starwars: The Force Unleashed. I then let him start playing it since he's a huge SW fan, we started playing around with it alittle bit then I made a game profile for him. The next day I get back from work to find that he had beaten the game in a single day! And on top of that unlocked a total of 10 acheivements. So after that accomplisment under his belt I had him dip into some of my older games that I never thought he would enjoy because of difficulty or whatever. So anyway I let him start a game in "Knights of the Old Republic" four days later, he's watching the end credits.

  I mean, I knew he was into games. But I had never seen him play anything more than alittle bit of Pikmin or SuperSmash Bro's.
  Right now I have him digging into "Secret Weapons Over Normandy" and he loves it.

  I'm beginning to think I have a prodigy on my hands here. And that I was put on this earth to train and harness this power...

  Starwars: The Force Unleashed Impressions.

  Ok..Heres my disclaimer, If you havent played this game but will begin to have massive cornary attacks if the plot is spoiled for you.Please by all means stop reading.

  Now I'll assume you all knew that the game's plotline was being accepted as official Starwars canon. With that said I was only alittle dissapointed with the hugely over-hyped story,Unless of course you've seen all 6 movies and then you can fill in the plot holes on your own. The story in a nutshell goes alittle somthin like this: Darth Vader finds a boy who he can sense is very powerful in the force,and makes him his secret apprentice. Said apprentice begins undertaking missions to kill the fugitive Jedi who survived order-66. After killing said Jedi the apprentice (codenamed "Starkiller") begins to have doubts about Vader and his missions, He falls in love with his pilot (who is female thank God),Ultimately turns to the Light side and thus starts the rebellion.

  Now..With that outta the way I can get down to the mechanics of the game which impressed me the most.I'll cover things like controls, sound, framerate, stuff like that in my reveiw. But now I wanna talk about the Euphoria engine, which absolutley shines in this game. Evertime you grip,push,slice,jump, Somthing in the enviorment will react to you. Wood splinters, metal bends,glass shatters,bodies flop,the physics of this game are nothing short of amazing. There's almost nothing in the world you cant destroy, and if you cant destroy it you can bang it up pretty badly.

  All in all it was a decent game, I would definately recommend it as a rental,as it can be beaten pretty easily within around 4-5 hours. But its fun and accessable (my 6 year old brother beat it before I did and unlocked most of my acheviements for it).But if you're a Starwars fan you'll appreciate the canon ending, and maybe the alternate ending, which personally I thought was kinda lame. But hey, to each his own right?

  P.S was I the only one to notice Juno Eclipse had buck teeth?
