Sydney's Poem

With a tear in her eye she turns her back on the life she thought she knew

The scene fading out and a beautiful new opening infront of her

Colors and smiles seeming alien to her

Is it really possible that all the pain and sorrow can be erased in the blink of an eye?

When anger and tears are all she has known, nothing seems okay

Now she is faced with smiles and open arms that wont hurt her or let her face trouble alone

The new world scares her yet makes her want to give in and forget her past

The past of pain haunts, but it's time for her to let go as she walks into the new sunrise

Updates.

I've decided to start tweaking the blog more, and maybe getting rid of a few things. Most of the games on the games page don't even work, so I might just wipe them. Also, I was thinking, should I add a comic of the week, ir replace the picture of the week?

Political Cartoons 7

I just couldn't stop laughing when I finished reading this one. Basically what it's trying to say is that our governments, though we send in our forces and services to help, are bossing around the Afgan government to take matters into their own hands. This is just a very clever way of saying it :P

Random Post!

I'm bored and have nothing better to do. Let's summarize a video game!

Dante's Inferno starts off during the Crusades in Acre. Not how the poem starts, but this is more interesting. Dante gets shanked and is faced by the Reaper, who's ass he kicks surprizingly quickly. He takes his scythe and goes home to his unwed f**kbuddy, Beatrice, who was killed by the husband of the chick Dante screwed behind Beatrice's back. Dante chases her down to hell and finds himself in Limbo. After tearing the head off a scary talking boat and pinning the judge of the Damned to a massive spiky wheel and reving it full force, he proceeds to Lust, a relatively disturbing section of Hell. Boobies. Lol. He then meets a colosal Cleopatra, Beatrice dressed up by Lucifer, and a very deformed Marc Antony. You kick Antony's ass fairly quickly, then after a brief scene of near-fatal suduction and a stab to Cleopatra's ribs, you climb down Gluttony, which is basically made of organs, flesh, bowels, fecices, and several other unplesant entities. After owning the WORST but at the same time coolest version of Cerberus ever devised, you walk around in the squishy poop and find yourself in a very different portion: a distorted world of floating platforms, portals, and 3 random Gluttons, which you dispatch quickly. After solving the simple puzzle, you end up in Greed, perhaps the most annoying Circle. After some difficult contraptions and time-sensitive tasks with some mild puzzleness, you face off with Dante's dad, a fat old bastard who tried to have his way with Dante's girl. Classy, dad.
(this post is kinda long, so I'll finish it later.)

Political Cartoon 6

This one, like most other of the cartoons I found, I posted because I found it witty and funny. This one pokes a little bit of fun towards the Liberal party and Earth Hour (on the 28th from 7-8pm, you turn off all lights and electrical appliances aside from fridges). I just thought this one was downright silly, and wanted to share it.

Posting; Error.

For some reason, I've been unable to publish posts from home lately. I think the virus that I THOUGHT was contained on my usb drive leaked on to my computer somehow. I sure hope not, but I wouldn't doubt it. Anyway, until I find the solution to this issue, I can only post from school. We have alot of lab periods in careers to spiff up our ISUs, so when I find the chance I can sneak on the computer :)

How Cruelty-Free is your morning routine?

Hey everyone! I took a quiz on Peta2 about how cruelty fre your morning is (meaning, how many products you use that don't test on animals). I managed to score an 8, which isn't half bad at all :) unfortunately, the moisturizer I use for my hands is tested on animals. So, I'm going to the drug mart later on tonight to look for a new brand on Peta's approved list. Why don't you take the quiz? you could learn alot :) Click the bunny banner below, print out the page (or just do it from the computer) and let me know your results :D

Political Cartoon 5

This one has no real meaning behind it, aside from the obvious. Let's laugh at it anyway.

Peta2: Part of the gang.

Alright everyone, I've put some heavy thought into it, and yesturday I joined the Street Team on peta2.com. Basically, that's a pledge to try to stick up for our furrry, scaley, feathery, or slimy friends in any way I can. That's right! I'm officially an animal activist now, and I'm proud!

To learn more about People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or to join the Street Team and start making a difference and earning some nice swag, head to http://www.peta2.com/. When you sign up, it'll ask you for the person who reffered you. It'd be real nice of y'all to fill my email in that spot. it's alex_etheral@live.ca, in case you forgot. C'mon guys, what'daya have to lose?

Political Cartoons 4

This cartoon I just thought was funny, but very very true. Cable tv has been getting more expensive lately to encourage people to swap to satalite or digital. Some people can't afford that, which sucks. Luckily for them, anything you can find on TV can also be found on the internet, which is what this editorial is trying to say. I like it, it's honest, silly, and funny.

Pokemon Generation V: Who has time for this anymore?

Apparently, information about the next generation of DS Pokemon games has been released. I personally think the system should be renamed the Nintendo BS, cuz that's all it really is. Now that pokemon has WELL over 500 irritating little critters to trap in small spherical containers for long periods of time and unleash only for pointless battles and labourous tasks, who's really gonna bother catching all of them? I got about 300 in, then finally said "screw this". Don't get me wrong, Pokemon is great, but I think it's getting a little out of hand. If anyone is interested, the 2 new Pokemon that were leaked were Dark types, Zorua and Zoruark. Cool names, I guess. Generation V SHOULD be released late spring 2011, but this is unconfirmed so far. Happy hunting.

Zorua

Political Cartoons 3

 I found this one pretty clever, not like it needs much of an explanation. When parlement reopened, they announced alot of sour news to the public, depicted by this half-dragon half-elephant. (Yea... Part jackass, part art critic. Go me.)

Political Cartoons 2

Ok everyone, the momment you've all been waiting for! (Slight overexageration ;3) The next political cartoon is poking a little bit of fun at Canadian history, events, social issues, and everyone's favourite waste of public primetime, the Olympics.

Dante's Inferno; finally out of my hair.

I know I haven't mentioned the inferno for quite some time. Sorry about that. But, about 2 weeks ago I conquered the game, but I'm still coming up a little short. I found all the Beatrice Stones in the game, but I need at least half the Judas Coins hidden in the game, and I'm also having trouble reaching two Shades. But I kicked some major ass down there and reached full levels for both Holy and Unholy. Can you say moral conflict?
Anyway, my biggest issue now is racking up some souls, and waiting for the release of Trials of St.Lucia.

Speaking of waiting, anyone see the ad for Reach? Jetpacks in Halo? Seems a little out there, but I fear it might make the game too easy. Still, the amount you can customize your dude-man and the ass you can kick with the new weapons would probably balance that out. Beta drops on May 3rd, which happens to be my birthday. Thanks Bungie! Best present ever!

Peta2's "Canada's Shame"

Attention blog viewers! There is an important issue that I must bring to your attention. In Canada (right here, in our own backyard), there have been hunters catching, beating, and skinning seals. Canadian government allows this, no questions asked! This is unfair, barbaric, and cruel, and MUST be stopped! http://www.peta2.com/ allows ways to get involved, I strongly urge you all to do your part.

Canada's Shame: Learn More.

Peta2; People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Hey everyone. Recently my attention has been brought to a very honourable program called Peta2, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It sheds light on facts about the things we ourselves and the companies around us do to animals without us even knowing, through active discussion, enjoyable-yet-informative games, videos, and so forth. I strongly urge you all to check it out. http://www.peta2.com/

Political Cartoons, number 1.

Hey everyone... I have a very nifty idea. I'm going to share my deep passionate love for politics with ALL of you. Well not really. Because my school has a kinky blog fetish, I'm being forced to use this for a history project. So check it, n00bs!

This is a political cartoon of Micheal Ignatiff dropping "political bombs" on the middle east. I thought this was a clever way of showing everything Canadian politicians do wrong, so, here it is. This cartoon is saying that Ignatiff is plummeting the middle-east with OUR policies, trying to force them to obide by our rules, as most politicians do.

I chose this one mostly because I thought it was funny, but also because I like the point they're trying to get across. makes perfect sense to me.

Jobscope

Apparently, your horoscope also affects your job in the future. I'm a taurus, which offers several very much unwanted job opertunities. I can rake in the massive money as a nurse, or teach annoying childen things they're never going to use in the real world. Or I could drill holes in your teeth and cause general discomfort and a feeling of insecurity. The possibilies are endless... and pretty sucky.
     It claims that Taureans are naturals in creative fields. How the hell is being a nurse creative? :P Or a counsellor, or social worker... I don't like this quiz :P

Jellybeanology.

Who doesn't love jelly beans, right? :D I know I do ;P (a friend of mine will get that more than the rest of you).
     In careers, it turns out that your favourite colour of jelly bean effects your career path and the way you do work. Holy crap. Random epiphany. I bought a bag of jelly beans just to figure out the ones I like most. I concluded my favourite bean was also my favourite colour: Purple! :D

    Purple is symbolic of royalty or regal behavior. Cool. It also says healthy, but I get sick really easy, so scratch that one :). Will marry early, or not at all. Hear that ladies? Get it while it's hot! ;D! Lol. This test also says that I'm good with church charity. I probably would donate, assuming I believed in relgion. One more point: I'm a good speaker. That one HAS to be true. I've been rambling on with these boring school posts for a couple weeks now. Apparently, I have alot to say.


By the way, this beautiful piece of man-candy is none other than myself. Enjoy :)

Yo mamma!

Yesturday in Careers, we had a very interesting guest speaker... our teacher's mom! I know I know, sounds totally lame, right? She was surprisingly informative and cool. We did learn an interesting nickname of our teacher... which shall not be repeated for security purposes ;P
     She's been in retail business for several years. It was interesting to hear, actually. I just thought that retail ment being a boring old store clerk, but there are some more interesting things about it.Promo offers, getting to know people, busting shoplifters. Sounds pretty fun, don't you think?

INFP

 Well, yeah, that picture was just there as a test. Now that I know I can do that, I'm going to mix in some pretty pictures with older posts. Woo.
   Anyways, lately in Careers (yes, I know, ALL of my posts are on Careers. Suck it up.) we did a test that delt with A LOT of questions based on how we make decisions to decide what kind of person we are. It was accurate for the most part, but it said that I was calm and quiet. I KNO RITE?!?!
   ...yea, this test was called "The Kiersey Temperment Sorter. Search it up on the internet if you want. My result was INFP, meaning:
- I get my energy from within myself
- My source of information is intuiton
- I make decisions based on feeling
- I get things done with percervirance.
Totally cool, isn't it. There are a lot more things it tells you about yourself, but I'm too lazy to write them all.

*End of Post*

More on Dante's Inferno, and Careers class

In careers the other day, we had a guest speaker come in and tell us about what he does. He's a professor at the local university, and a historian. Pretty cool, actually. Said he got to look at some old doctor's notes about bubonic plauge and whatnot. I liked that, that's interesting.
    I've gotten a little further in my game, too. I'm at the 4th circle of hell, but it's tricky for me because it's all about timing, something I desperately LACK. It sucks. Also recently, I went to semi-formal with a good friend of mine. It was pretty fun, but decency is a word long dead. No one danced. What they did instead... well, I'd rather not say. So to those fun-lovers who actually danced out there (if you're reading this annonymous classmate, you know who you are ;P), cheers to you.
    To wrap things up, does anyone know how to upload pictures to this thing? Seriously...
*UPDATE* Haha, I figured it out. Go me.

True Colours, and Dante's Inferno

Hey world. I have some updates for you. Thank me later, I have a post to write.
     So, first off, my pre-ordered game (Dante's Inferno) just came in. It's GORY!!!
     Anyways, in careers class, we had an interesting little quiz-type-thingy called "true colours". I thought the idea was kind of stupid at first, but it was actually pretty accurate. It said I'm energetic and enthusiastic. I KNO RITE?!?!?! ^w^ ...It also said that I could be good in jobs that involve my hands. I'm not going to argue with that at all, a pass time of mine is sculpting, and due to lack of tools, I need to use my hands alot. Ew, dirty fingernails. But at least they work. By the way, I'm orange, if you haven't guessed.


    Now that I got that out of the way, Dante's Inferno ;D I knew it's rated M for violence and nudity, but I didn't see so many naked people and so much gore coming. I fought the second boss yesturday, called King Minos (seriously guys, Charon doesn't count). Basically the way you finish him off is you grab is tounge, pull it back, tie it to a huge spiked wheel, and crank it as hard as you can. It drags him in and then starts to drill into his face, pulling out massive globs of blood and brain and skull... BLOODY!!!!! I'm glad I have a strong stomach. My sister probably had nightmares last night. It's fantastic!

Post numero uno!

Ok everyone, here goes! This is my first time posting on a blog so...be gentle ;p. So... I can't say I really know what to post... so I can talk about my life. Yeah I know it sounds boring but what else do I do here?
   Anyway, yesturday I pre-ordered my copy of Dante's Inferno for the Xbox360. It hits stores tomorrow so I'm incredibly excited! Have you ever heard of it? You can get the demo free of charge from the Xbox Live Marketplace. If you have a gamertag, I wouldn't mind going a few rounds with you. Mine will probably get posted later on.
