    Bigotry is annoying...

    So I went to the movies yesterday with a couple dudes. One was a hispanic guy who's pretty chill. The other was this white guy, who, well, is an annoying bigot.

    For some reason, the topic of homosexuality came up. He was saying that he hates gays and that they are disgusting and wrong. The other dude and I were just looking at each other going, "WTF?" It was really annoying.

    Not to mention he has the lowest self-esteem I've ever seen. No joke. It seems like every other word that comes out of this mouth is "I'm going to die alone," or "I'm going to die at 25," or "I'm fat," or "I'm not good at anything." We are trying to raise his self-esteem, but it just won't work.

    I asked the guy if he was always like that, and he said he does it because if someone else makes fun of him, it won't effect him. Kinda sad, and pathetic. He says he hates everything also.

    He is fat though, but he also just looks big. I have no idea how he got like that. I asked him if his parents said that he'd die alone, and he said, "No, it is just a conclusion I've realized." It is really annoying to me and my dude friend.

    I think he's just using his fatness to explain for his low confidence, which in turn destroys his self-esteem. And honestly if he keeps up this attitude, he will die alone, and at the age of 25.

    Let's talk about VIDEOGAMES!!!!

    I beat Zach and Wiki: Quest for Barbaro's Treasure. The last two levels (Barbaro's Land) were hard as well. I used a FAQ on both of them.

    I don't feel bad. In the entire game, I only used a FAQ on three levels, the two on Barbaro's Land, and Mad Science. That was hard as hell as well. So for over90% of the game, it was my own brainpower that led me to the treasure.

    A great game. I'll try to review it eventually. Everyone should get it, even if you don't like puzzle games. It really doesn't feel like a puzzle game imo, more like an adventure game with a lot of puzzles in it .

    I have to beat No More Heroes still. The action in that game is so awesome.. but that's the problem: There isn't enough of it. The overworld is shallow, and the mini-games aren't too great.

    But the action is awesome. I'm like 60-70% through with it, despite teh fact I've had it for like 3-4 months.

    Then there is Okami... what meh. The beginning was so boring that I just didn't play it anymore. Maybe I'll go back to it. Maybe not. Too bad I don't have my PS2 here, or I could play MGS3 and finish that game.

    I got my LoZ: ALTTP game and Animal Crossing: Wild World game back from my gf. I have never beaten ALTTP. Hell, I dont think I've even made it to the Master Sword in the game. My gf beat the game like 4 times though. And I'd figure I'd play AC because she wasn't.

    I think my next blog will be on my thoughts on AC: City Folk for the Wii this year.

    Hasta luego compadres!

    My girlfriend had like a panic attack.. ;_;

    I was in the hall reading one of my many book for my Composition class, taking notes. I have to read like 160 pages by tomorrow. That won't be fun.

    Anyway, I get a call from her, and she's crying on the phone. She was outside Ikea and her mom was inside. She's wasn't speaking very coherently, and said she was scared. She said she hates people and that noone cared about her, and that she wanted hugs.

    It took a bit, but she was able to calm herself down. I know she's a cry-baby of sorts, but I've never been with her when she's having a panic-attack of sorts. She is moving down to Virginia Tech in a couple of days, and the packing and stress are really getting to her.

    She said her loan hasn't come in yet, and she needs it immediately. Her parents aren't exactly role-model parents. They were poor when she was younger, and weren't very warm. They are nice people, but they just aren't very good at parenting. Being the oldest child, she has suffered from it.

    That's one of the reasons she got married at such a young age I think. She wanted security and someone to take care of her. Unfortunately, he ended up hurting her even more. The stress and anxiety from that marriage has left scars that will never heal. She got Thyroid Cancer and minor cases of psoriasis from that relationship, and has to take pills everyday now.

    Now she is with me, and she says the biggest difference with me is that I give her attention. All her previous relationships were with cold guys who didn't care much about her feelings. She could never go to them when she cried like she does for me.

    It's never easy dealing with her emotions. She gets hurt easily now, and is very scared of being left again. But I love her anyway.

    My laundry is done. Better go get it.

    Ciao
