I have no clue who's singing this song.

Comment Commentary

Tony- Yeah, I guess what I said was stupid. The people who read 800-page novels about international conflicts aren't likely to start playing games because they say "Tom Clancy" on them- the people who already play the games are more likely to begin reading the books. That's how it happened to me.

Shin- You could probably just buy the country for the price of a 60GB iPod Photo, though.

Marle- Yeah, apparently we had PSP launch parties around here too, but I heard nothing about them. It wasn't some huge hype like when actual next-gen consoles come out.

Godel- Let's just form the Fanboys Against Georgia Society, and open a can of whoop-ass on that sorry state. >:|

lunox- Yes, you can be our secretary. You know, the one that keeps our.. Secrets.

My recent registering for DeviantArt has gotten me in a more artsy mood again. It's not just one of those things where I just do a bunch of my half-assed crap, though- I don't want to be scorned by these elitist freaks, so I've actually been putting time and effort into what I've been doing.

(In big flashing red letters: OMFG)

I'm trying other styles, too. Instead of my regular stuff, I've been dabbling with realism and painting. To be honest, I'm tired of pencil sketches. I want to find a new medium that suits me, and stick with that for a while.

That's not to say that I think I've perfect my pencil doodles. That would quite possibly be the most conceited and incorrect statement in my family's history, and my dad works in the used car industry.

Sin City comes out on Friday, and I need to get in somehow. I'm not sure how I can- my 17-and-up friends only have learner's permits, which I don't think count as official identification, and there's no way in hell either of my parents will allow me to see this one. Normally I'm against sneaking into movies, but for Sin City I'm not beyond it. :P

I forgot to mention that my parents bought me a new Bible on Easter, because I need some churchin' in me. This is something that I am not against- in fact, there are certain books of the Bible that I love reading- but I find this particular Bible funny.

It's one of those "teen outreach" kind of Bibles, with the devotion pages about various moral conflicts, which isn't uncommon, but this one also has full-color pages about the "important" questions, such as suicide, eating disorders, and, of course, homosexuality.

I have heard preachers talk about homosexuality in a decent way before, but this book is nothing like that. Basically, all they had to say was, "Yes, being gay is bad, but if you're sorry, God might forgive you."

Awfully preachy for a modern, on-the-edge Bible designed for the youth of the nation, isn't it?

Similar statements are made about the other issues. A lot of it is biased, as well, but I suppose that's part of the essence of religion.

Another interesting thing I noted: Somewhere in the actual Bible scripture I read that "no man shall change this book in any way, lest they be cast into hell." Or something like that. Anyway, as I was skimming through Revelations (my favorite book in there), I noticed that they failed to mention that the woman whose baby was to be eaten by the dragon was a prostitute. Come on, man, even my children's Bible said that(Come to think of it, my children's Bible was pretty racy o_O).

It might just be conflicting translations, or something like that, but I still find that interesting.

Wow, a religious rant. I must be a hoot at parties, huh?
