This is a topic that I am objective about just like every topic that slides out of my tablet that I write these on. I heard something from my band director that went a little something like, "Video games don't have real music. It's all synthesized." I kinda sat there thinking, Oh the ignorance! I could tell from that that he had never played anything beyond the Nintendo.Yes I am aware that some video games contain synthesized music. I am also aware that most video games contain these magical things called instruments that are put into the video games by this magical thing called recording software. I know that not everyone plays video games and just because I play video games doesn't make me better than everyone else, but I also know that before you make wild accusations about anything, you should at least know what you are talking about. I am listening to video game music right now and do you know what? It is pretty great. Some of it contains some synthesized music but, most of it is a very awesome violin solo. There is also some guitar and a lot of drums. You can tell that the violin is recorded. Recording was invented a long time ago. It can be implemented into a lot of things. Video games are some of those things.
That wasn't very long but I think I got my point across with it. If you liked it, say something pretty in the comment area. If you hate it, hate video games, and hate my beautiful tablet, leave that in the comments as well. I love hate. As I always say whenever I do say something, have a good day, night, or other.

Fatality!
What is this about? No, it isn't about actual fatalities. This is about video games. This isn't some simple video game walkthrough or talking about a specific video game. This a discussion about video games in general. This is about violent video games and how they are affecting the world. This doesn't bash them at all, this is just an objective view from different points of view.
First off, there are those who are for it. Why would games influence people in any way? There aren't really any bad video games, just bad people. Video games don't make people kill people. There were more wars before video games than afterwards. Hitler existed before video games. Besides, there are rating systems for a reason.
On the other side, video games are bad. Violent video games should be outlawed. Why even have them? They make people do horrible things. Teenagers go gangbang and stuff because a video game told them it was alright. Video games make the police look like bad guys and that translates to the real world.
Personally, I don't mind bad video games. I am not influenced by them in any way except for the purpose that they are meant to serve, entertainment. When I am bored, I like to compete with others, doing things that I could never do in real life. It is fun and it doesn't make me go kill my friends. People that play video games don't even have time to gangbang because they are too busy playing video games
That is my take on it. Be sure to comment whatever you want to. If you liked it, tell me. If you hate it, my face, my blog, my hair, and my twitter page @saintdallasorca then you can tell me that in the comments as well. And as always, have a good day, night, or other.

How many posts can an audience handle?
People always seem to wonder how much content to put out to an audience. As a new blogger, I am not sure how much to put out in one day. It isn't really a question for me to answer but a question for the audience to answer.
The reason this is brought up is that sometimes, modern humans get intimidated by a large amount of text in one sitting. Some people will click away just because they see a lot of text and are worried that it will not be entertaining to them. There are a lot of people that will not even give large amounts a chance because they don't like to read.
This is a question for whoever you are reading this at the moment. Do you like large amounts of text? Would you want many posts in one day? Would you want both? Do you like short and sweet? Do you like staggering posts so there is no overwhelming?
Just leave any answers to any questions in the comment area below. Remember, if you like the blog, comment about it. If you hated the blog, my choice of text, my leg hair, and my
left eyeball, leave that in the comments as well. Feedback is feedback and I love positive, negative, and just plain hate. It is all really great. And as always, have a good day, night, or other.

Two Hour Delay
There is an odd thing about school closings. When does it become necessary for schools to close? Where is the line between delays and closings? All of that and more is about to be
discussed in this beautiful blog thing.
There is a time in everybody's life where the school decides that it is time to close for a day. Sometimes it is over weather conditions, and other times it is over something like the power going out. I can understand weather conditions, but power? I see some good arguments for and against it. Of course there is no air conditioning. That makes sense. I guess that throws my argument out the door, but I am going to mention it anyway because I am a persistent butt. School should not rely on power to run because there were times when no one had power. This small change in comfort should not be a reason to wreck an entire day of preparing a child for the rest of his life.
What about delays? In my mind, they are worse than closings. If you are going to cut off school, cut it off for the whole day. With closings, teachers can still use lesson plans. When things are delayed, teachers have to come up with some slap-dashed idea that takes less time but still somewhat gets the point across. That makes it harder and completely wastes an entire day.
There was not much said, I think my point was made. If you liked the blog, leave a comment saying so. If you hated the blog, my life, and my awesome face, leave a comment saying that as well. As always, be sure to have a wonderful day, night, or other.

Apples & Oranges
There are some things about humanity that can be greatly appreciated. Language is definitely one of them. There was a time when language was about small things like war. When all of the people of humanity were about nothing but war, all humans had only the capacity to talk of war. As humans grew more intelligent, our language grew more intelligent as well. With more complex spoken language comes more complex written language. Only the highest class of humanity was able to read and write and keeping that hidden from the rest of humanity was an easy way to stay in power above everyone else.
How did all of that spawn from my mind? It came from a conversation that had a small touch of the phrase, "You can't compare those, it is like comparing apples and oranges," to which I replied, "What are you talking about? That is easy to compare. Apples are red and oranges are orange...and oranges are better." That is kind of a silly conversation, but that small bit of conversation was able to spark a title and an entire paragraph that had nothing to do with apples or oranges.
"I still don't get what this has to do with apples or oranges in any way!" Well, of course it does. You just need to make that sort of connection that links one thing to another. It is called deduction which would serve no real purpose in this environment. Just be glad I didn't go with my original plan of writing three pages on why purple is a color. Just by saying the phrase that quoted earlier, it is showing that humans are very intelligent creatures. I know humans constantly try to prove me wrong, but there are some good, smart ones out there.
I hope you liked this blog. It was my first one and it wasn't very high tech. I am still figuring out the systems. If you liked it leave a comment telling me. If you hated me, my hair, and everything about the blog, you can leave a comment telling me that too. Thank you for reading (if you made it this far, bravo!) and I hope you have a good day, night, or other.
