School Topic: Giving

A lot of people think that the gift of giving is the best gift. I disagree, I get very little satisfaction in giving gifts. The one exception to this is pixie sticks. I will often but a big pack of pixie sticks and hand them out. Since you get so many in a pack for a dollar you don't feel like your giving away an arm. I'm probably just selfish though.

Got a new Phone

Wednesday night my old phone went through the wash. My first reaction was a thumbs up. Because I knew this meant a new phone, and no phone is worse than my phone. Also the timing couldn't have been better because by the time we got around to getting me a new phone it was black Friday, and Verizon was giving away free smartphones. So I got some LG touchscreen thing. I don't know much about it but I have 3g and an unlimited data plan. So I can watch as much YouTube as I want. One disappointment is no free grooveshark. But I can still just pirate stuff and put it on there. Another is you can't sign into YouTube, so you have to search for all your videos.

Also on a completely different topic Eric, Tate, and I got to wave 29 on Nazi zombies, not for sure but i don't think anyone in the school has beat that. Hopefully we can try out a new strategy today and break thirty.

Black Ops

Since Black Ops came out it seems to socially acceptable to talk about video games so here goes. I bought black ops and overall i'm happy with it. But there are a few problems with it. The biggest is probably the knife assist. It seems you can now knife someone without even seeing them on your screen. This takes little to no skill and makes me very angry. The next problem is quick scoping. Tryearch (company that made black ops) made a patch that made it nearly impossible to snipe unless your constantly scoped in. Quick scoping, if you didn't know is one of the more, if not the most challenging thing you can do in the call of duty series. And they got rid of it because a few community members called it cheap. Really just not allowing slight of hand pro to affect sniping would have been enough. Also the spawn system is awful, footsteps are weird, network latency seems big, and there some stupid thing were when someone shoots you your gun jerks up and down and this rewards players who can't aim very well because it moves their aimer up into the upper body. Also a few overpowered wepons, mostly m-16 and the g11 but the famas is too, the biggest thing you can do is just get rid of the burst fire guns, they are over powered and always have been. And finally the rc-car is nearly impossible to defend against. But they did make some good decisions. Getting rid of stoping power helps balance the wepons more. And killsteaks not leading to more killsreaks is very nice.

New Things:

School Topic: Hope

Hope. What we all love, cling to and love, it completes and yet reads the universe. Does this mean the soliloquy is love?

I hate inspirational crap like that. I think hope effects us more than we realize though. I used to think the only people who needed hope were slaves. But hope is what drives us all. If were at school we hope we can get home. We hope we get into a good college. Get a sexy lady or man. And maybe hope you can kill enough people with that bomb to get 72 virgins.

School Topic: Humans and Animals

There are many obvious differences between humans and animals. The most similar animal to humans is the gorilla. And the most similar human to the gorilla is the conservative. They are able to use basic tools such as fear to build groups and families. There basic brains are also similar to gorillas, although there seems to be one major difference. The conservatives are lacking a component of their brain that allows them to alter their opinion and political views. The gorillas however are very open minded and are very willing to listen to and even change their views.
