I've been thinking of buying a PS3 with the TV I'm going to buy. I was wondering if the graphics with the new game are that good, or what. I've heard COD looks pretty awesome. I don't know, I was just wondering.

I'd like to apologize for that. I've been MIA pretty much all week. I've worked 11 hours every day...

To make up for my absense, I will post some pretty pictures:

Imagine there was a site just like xanga with the same community feel and all your friends.

Except there was no ish sites and no post-stealing, and features of the site that you've been wanting but never got, would you follow?



(This photo has nothing to do with this post, ha!)

Dear XangaTeam,

I find it to be deplorable actions on your part to both be a part of and condone the behavior of the Ish sites. It is immoral and unethical to steal someone's writing and put someone else's name on it, with no credit to the original writer. In most cases, this would be illegal. Just because our work as bloggers is not copyrighted, that does NOT make it okay to steal.

It really makes me angry that this happens. This is the second time one of my friends here has had their work stolen from them, and I know that it's not the only two people this has happened to. This kind of behavior needs to stop. It is unacceptable. It takes our valuable time to write these posts, and to have our words stolen from underneath us makes me sick. YOU, XangaTeam, are starting to make me sick.

That's pretty much all I have to say at this point, because I'm really upset. You better get your act together, Xanga. That's all I have to say.

Not So Sincerely,

(I said "Not So Sincerely" because the way I was saying this wasn't very sincere, but the message itself is sincere, if that makes sense.)

The most intense football game I have ever watched, and we lost. Very disheartening. I wanted Brett Favre to go out with a bang. That Saints defense is rough, they really pummeled the old man. The entire second half my heart was pounding and I was nervous. So many things went wrong.

I think that last catch should have been ruled incomplete, and the pass interference call was complete bullshit. That ball was uncatchable, the fucking ball was 5 yards overthrown. Sad day.

Okay, so. I did my taxes yesterday, and I'm getting about $1800 back with my federal and state combined. With the hours I'm working, my paychecks are between $580-$650 every week. With no overtime, my paycheck is about $460 a week. These hours are not going to slow down anytime soon though. They are actually going to increase because as the next couple of months come around, we are going to get busier.

When I first learned how much I was getting back, I sat down and swore to myself that I wouldn't go crazy shopping. I thought of doing some shopping, but only spending about $200. Here's the thing. I have had the same 19in old school tv in my bedroom for the last 12 years. I want to buy myself a nice new tv, like a 24in, or maybe a 32in. That's about $600 or less. I want to buy one so bad. After working 10-12 hours a day, I would like to come home and enjoy a nice tv in my room and relax.

I don't know. I wanted to pay off some of my debt, but I'm thinking I can easily do that when I'm making about $2400 a month. For rent, gas, car payment and insurance, I have about $950 that I HAVE to pay every month. The rest I can spend on debt, right? My goal, financially, for this year is to pay all my debt (except for my car, which I still owe a little over $7000) and save enough money for lasik. All of my non-car debt is about $6000. With some diligence and discipline, I think I can accomplish my financial goals and still buy a new tv for myself.

Hmm.

I blogged the other day about The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It's a movie about a little boy who's father is a Nazi General, and they move to a house that's right by a concentration camp, so the father can control the camp. The boy makes friends with a Jew in the camp, a little boy. It's a sad movie.

There was one point in the movie where a Nazi beats an old man to death, a Jew. I am a non-violent person, and I don't believe in any kind of violence. That part of the movie made me physically ill. I felt sick to my stomach. The movie didn't actually show it happening, but they showed the Nazi kicking and the old man grunting in pain.

Worse things than this occurred during the Holocaust, things that to me are so sick and disgusting that I wonder how a human being can treat others in this way. The day after I watched it, I talked to my coworker that borrowed the movie to me and another coworker. I wondered how someone could live with themselves after treating people this way. We wondered how many Nazis took their own lives after the war was over. I know they didn't have a choice but to serve Hitler, but I'm sure there were quite a few Nazis that actually bought into Hitler's views. I would rather kill myself by my own hand before committing these heinous acts.

Even though this war was a horrendous example, bad behaviors still exist in times of war. The "human pyramid" a few years back is a prime example of this. How can you sleep soundly when you treat other people in this manor? How can you think it's okay?

I can't imagine killing another human being. I can't even kill an animal, I can't even conceive of going hunting. Yes, I suppose I'm a little over-sensitive, but still. It's not right, it's not okay. The Nazis killed over 11 million people, 1.1 million of which were children. What if they had been your children?

It's no surprise that during wartime, the suicide rate among soldiers go up dramatically. Most people aren't equipped to handle killing other human beings, so PTSD is a serious issue among war veterans. Imagine killing people. Could you live the rest of your life normally?

And I'm at work. SOOO messed up. Right now I'm at about 51 hours for the week. I'll be here for awhile longer tonight, then 8 hours from when I leave here tonight, I'll be back tomorrow morning. We have to have 8 hours in between shifts. Hopefully I can drag out my time tomorrow.

I found out that for a second year in a row, we are not getting out review raises. Talk about fucked up. We are also getting no bonuses, and no 5% back.

So hopefully tomorrow I can spend some time blogging, after work. I'm so exhausted. I need a shot of caffeine right into the jugular.

It's time that I do this.... =]

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and song title correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own

1. "Takin' all this time Standin' in the snow I was so afraid of what could fall from my lips."

2. "In the wasteland on the way to the Red Queen it's no wonder our stage clothes have dreams to be famous."

10. "Sometimes is never quite enough if you're flawless."

11. "Oh why you look so sad tears are in your eyes."

12. "Oh my love please don't cry I'll wash my bloody hands and we'll start our new life."

13. "Oh can you take care of her Oh maybe you can spare her several moments of your consideration."

14. "Oh you get me ready in your '56 Chevy why don't we go sit down in the shade."

15. "Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on."

16. "Well you filled up my head with so many lies."

17. "I see tress of green red roses too I see them bloom for me and you."

18. "There were nights were so cold that my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window."

19. "He comes from a foreign place an island far away."

20. "Hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl."

21. "I can see when you stay low nothing happens."

22. "I can't pretend anymore that I am not affected."

23. "I'm so addicted to the lovin' that you give to me."

24. "In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes with the freighters towering over me I can hear the jets flying overhead."

25. "Just like a white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she was singin' oo oo oo."

No GO!!!

Have you ever seen this movie? I think you should. It isn't as good as Schindler's List, but it's good.

I feel ill now. This weekend, I will write a better post about it, but right now I feel so sick and disgusted by human behavior I can't stand it. If you have seen this movie, I think you know what I'm talking about. But for now, I'm going to try going to bed.

What would happen if a holocaust happened in the United States and we were put into concentration camps?
