Even in the face of Armageddon. -Roshach

Wacthmen was a terrific movie. I saw it for the first time the other night, along with The Hangover, which was absolutely hillarious. Everything I wish I was, Roshach is. A sense of right and wrong that can not be altered by the greater good. That in itself brings up a wonderful question. Who is justice for? The world, or the person being served the justice? The greater good should never be to allow something bad to happen if it helps more people than it harms. Rorshach was absolutely correct and I wish I had the focus that he had.

New Say Anything album, rightfully self titled.

I would have to guess that it was the right time to self title the album. There is no underlying theme as "...Was A Boy/...Is a Boy" had or in the "Defense of the Genre."

"Is a Boy/ Was A Boy", I suspect was meant to signify growing up, a terrible process, most of us know of this. Failed relationships and broken homes mar the annals of our brains and determine who we are. People say we can't live in the past, what those people fail to realize is that the past makes us exactly who we are.

"In Defense of the Genre" Who can say what a genre is. Really, every band / artist is different from the other. Unfortunately, bands usually start off with good intentions but they sounds like other bands and then we as human beings with the need to group, put them together. Eventually it all sounds the same and only when a band that has a different taste to them to we learn to love this band. While the music is almost uninventive, it doesn't matter with Say Anything. A band that can be as simple as they are and still make lasting impressions says something. It has to do with the poet they employed as the lead singer. Max Bemis is one of the greatest poets of our day and he should be studied in classrooms.

"Say Anything" is exactly what Bemis did on this album. The album starts with an afformation of his beliefs, he is Jewish by the way, and how Jesus has been commercialized. Then, the next song, "I Hate Everyone" is self explanitory. There is a feel to this album that is different from the others but still has the Say Anything edge to it. It all comes back to Bemis. A literary genius that is unappreciated except by the fans of the band.

Deserted Lies the City ~ Sorry guys, I showed up late and missed most of your set, but from what I heard, I liked it.

Anna Smile ~ Much better than I expected. I did not like the stuff you have up on Myspace, but you impressed at the show.

Sights Set Through ~ Well done, the double front men was excellent.

A Hero A Fake ~ Great energy, liked the music, all in all, good performance. Tough crowd that night, what are ya gonna do?

Modern Day Escape ~ Excellent energy and show, that guitar spin was the sickest thing I've ever seen. However, your music just isn't my style, but I can predict your band getting an extreme fan base. Sorry about the assholes that turned thier backs, it was totally inconsiderate.

Red I Flight ~ Liked the music, couldn't stand the scream. Brutal breakdowns, and thanks for attracting the jerkoffs of the MI hxc scene.

I Am Abomination ~ Best guitarist I've ever seen live. Not only were the sweeps out of this world, but he was looking at the other guitarist doing the solo over his head while sweeping. He even looked embarrassed when all of us were clearly impressed. Best new band I've heard in a long time. I don't know how long you guys have been around, but stay around forever. Lead singer was a really awesome dude and sounded amazing even though he said he was sick. Loved every second of that show. Wish I had some money to buy a shirt, next time, because I will make that show.

Paintball is an awesome sport. The only way I think I could be more jacked up on adrenaline would be if I was in a survival moment, such as being attacked or something. I was not able to play paintball this summer because the funds were not available.

I remember during a tournament I fought my way out of a 2v1. I kept moving and kept shooting, keeping the other team unsure of where I was. I was shaking after the match was over. Adrenaline is an awesome feeling, if it get be bottled, I'd be an addict.

Just like in Mission: Impossible III, I wish I could shot up with adrenaline.

New Kingdom Hearts game came out yesterday and I was very excited. It is telling the story from the perspective of the Orginization, during Sora's time in Castle Oblivion. So far in the game you are playing as Roxas. (Sora rearranged and with an X added, because he is Sora's Nobody) They've also introduced a new member, XIV, or Xion, who is also a Keyblade wielder.

This is a character who hasn't previously existed in the KH world and she did not appear in KH2, and also the Orginization is known as Orginization XIII in KH2 so I have to assume that by the end of this DS port, she dies.

The newest feature of this game is the multiplayer. Square-enix tried to have multiplayer with KH:COM for the GBA but it was only a head to head match and lost its replay value. In this KH, however, up to 4 players can join in and you aren't just fighting each other, but you are fighting Heartless and Nobodies. I can't for my friends to get it so we can try out the new gameplay option.

Spelling Counts

No, the title of the blog is spelled correctly. Crisys was the name of my alter-ego so to speak. He was my character on the game Final Fantasy XI. I played him on the Hades server and made many friends that I've never even seen.

Favorites include:

Mythkiller-Was going to the University of Texas, but moved back to his hometown, which is in India. He is pretty, awesome, I wish the timezones allowed for us to be awake at the same time.

Mystil-He is definately a stoner, but he lives in England and he was the first non-rl (real life) friend that I made in FF. He helped me out with the mountain climb during the Chains of Promathia mission. He put up with me quite a bit, considering I fell off at least five times.

The whole point of this is that I recently quit playing FFXI. I previously spent the last two years of my life playing this game. It was partially the cause of why I failed my first college English course. I've met great friends and I really miss playing the game. My friends would remember me saying how much I hated the game and so on, but it was fun joining up with fellow adventurers to save Vana'diel. (The Final Fantasy World). So ends my addiction, I need to find a new one.

I wish I had my job at the cemetery back. If nothing else, it always provided a nice way to start a conversation. I find it entertaining that the question that is always asked is "What do you do there?"
The answer is obvious, but I would guess that people find it hard to believe that I deal with death and the burial of the dead on a regular basis. I can handle the task of my job without any second thought, however, I can't deal with the death of people that I know.
Not that it surprises me in particular, I just figured I'd be seasoned to handle it.
