Movies & 2010?!??!?!?!

So on Monday I saw Avatar for the second time in 3D with the family. And well… I think I preferred it not in 3D simply because it was a lot easier to concentrate on the plot aside from the graphics. Although I admit the scenes in the beginning where Jake was being chased were amazing in 3D. Really makes you feel like you’re there with him you know?

Anyways the point of this post is to talk about movies. The act of actually sitting in a room with about 100 other people and watching the same thing on a screen. Like the first thing that comes to mind is how the person sitting directly in front of you can be your own worst enemy for the course of 2—3 hours. Then after the movie is done you don’t even care about that person any more then you do your discarded garbage.

Then there are overall group feelings. Like sometimes when you watch a movie you’re inclined to laugh more because you feel the people in the room would laugh too. But then there are times when you watch a movie and even though you would laugh out loud at some jokes, you don’t because no one else does. There is also the example of screaming girls shouting ‘I LOVE YOU EDWARD’. You know you separate these girls into different rooms, the chances of them destroying your eardrums is much less.

I just think its weird how society functions sometimes and how we can get caught up so easily into fantasy.

Anyways so 2010 is coming up and I think it’s time for some resolutions :o!?!?!?!?

First resolution is not to spam ?!?!?!?!?

Lol, okay. My resolution this year is sort of simple. When I get to the end of 2010 I want to be able to say I did something. That I accomplished something notable in which years from now I can say ‘In 2010 I did this’. Simply because when I think back about 2009 all I can think about is the things that happened to me. I can’t really distinguish anything that I did that’s worth noting.

So that’s it. I’ll see you guys in 2010!

Meet Me Halfway

So that Black Eyed Peas song ‘Meet Me Halfway’ is so good. I don’t know what it is about it, but I can listen to that song over and over in a loop and never get sick of it.

Anyways, so I’m done school and now I need to deal with the aftermath. So we’ll see how that goes. In a few days I’m going to move out to a different city for my co-op. I’m doing website work for the next 4 months :o The place where I’m staying is supposed to have internetz but I think it’s sort of crappy. So I’ll probably update less around here.

On another note I saw Avatar yesterday. Unfortunately it was not in 3D since it sold out and I happened to fall asleep about an hour before I was supposed to go to the movies… I hadn’t slept at all that night! So it’s justifiable!

It was a very good movie, sure the plot is recycled and it was, as a lot of people are saying like a mix of all previous James Cameron movies. But it was still very good! Just because a plot is recycled does not mean it’s not good or enjoyable. I really want to go back and watch it in 3d though, I feel like I missed out on a big part of the experience without 3d.

The one thing that stuck out the most to me was how much the Na’vi were meant out to be the good guys. When it comes to stories like this we’re always exposed to one side so we can root for them. And that got me thinking of a good story idea. But I won’t tell you. It’s really interesting though and it plays on the whole ‘underdog’ concept and how our position of a conflict is mainly based on which side we are exposed to more and what we are told about the opposing side.

Anyways, off to read. Ciao~

Fun with Google!

So I was bored and I thought, hey, why don’t I start typing questions into Google and see what comes up in the search!

Why are so many people asking if Edward Cullen dies? Also, why is it that when all I type is ‘Edward’ everything is about Edward Cullen? What about people like Ed Elric? Pssshttt.

Wtf is a byronic hero? *Wikis* OH wow. I learned something new today! The fact that it is possible that not everyone who uses the internet is completely stupid and uses terms like byronic. Interesting….

Also I feel slightly ashamed for being a writer and not knowing that. Then again, I didn’t exactly take any English courses outside of the required ones because Math, Science and Programming consume my soul.

Is anybody there? Lol. This restores my faith in the internet as a whole being moronic.

Depending on where in the DBZ series you are, Goku could be dead, and he could be alive. But also, ‘Is Goku stronger than Superman?’ That is actually a good question… Hm… But man, why is the most results always for ‘Is __________ real?’ Honestly, do you really need to google this?

LOLOLOLOL. Omg. Wow. LOOOOLLLLLL. Okay. That pretty much speaks for itself. Although, yes, Drake is Jimmy from Degrassi who wanted to be a rapper. And ended up being a rapper IRL. Sort of funny how things work out like that.

When is my birthday? … o_O

My dad is not a phone. Wow. How insightful.

It took me a second to get what ‘Is iron man made or natural’. Again, why is all the results ‘Is ______ real?’ or ‘Is _______ dead?’

Wtf… Jewish? Republican? Australian? Bipolar? I can get the sober one, but like, seriously?

Why is Yahoo so important in determining if Kakashi is dead? And… Does anyone really think Masashi Kishimoto would say whether or not Kakashi is a virgin? … -___-

LASTLY:

This just makes me sad. No one apparently cares about Shikamaru enough to search him T_T Waahhhh.

Programming?

So when I frequent the blogs of other people that I go to school with they all seem to have one thing in common: Programming. And how often do I blog about programming? Like never. Soooo I’m a little conflicted. All I ever blog about is my writing. So does that suggest that my passion actually lies in writing and not in programming? Like don’t get me wrong, I like programming. And well… the ‘like’ sort of says it all right there. I love writing, and I like programming.

Blah, oh realizations. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t gotten seriously into a programming project for a while. Maybe that’ll make me feel enthusiastic about it. I do have programs and projects I have planned that I want to do, but I never really have time for them. For writing on the other hand, I tend to make room.

I already know that even though I am studying Software Engineering, if I can make a living off of writing, I will. Perhaps I’ll do something a friend told me about a while ago. Just contract out programming jobs as a secondary source of income. I don’t know. I just need some motivation. A reason to program aside from the ’school tells me to’ excuse.

I’m sure everyone in my class who is reading this is thinking ‘Why are you in SE if you don’t love to program?’ (I have a feeling Jeff is thinking this), and well I did love to program. In high school it was my easiest and favourite class. Now I’d rather write than study. Ah, I don’t know. I guess I’ll figure it out during my co-op where I’m actually programming this time.

Speaking of those projects though, I think I’m going to like completely upscale EOE and sort of try to create a new quizilla. Because obviously the only one who still cares about Quizilla is the mods, and it’s probably because they get paid to do it. >_> I figured I should try out doing a larger scale web project as opposed to just running a few websites.

Ok, I’m going to bed now (very reluctantly).

Night!

EDIT: New layout! What do you guys think :)?
