Whoa

You may be asking yourself right now, "Where are the blogs??????"

Don't worry, I haven't died or anything.... yet. Yeah, I know a really HUGE shocker.

Things have been pretty crazy the past few weeks with mid-terms for college, an idiotic person at my workplace (sorry I'm not revealing a name), and training a new employee. I've also had some big groups coming into the hotel the past three nights so I haven't really had time to write up anything while at work.

Hell, technically, I should be writing up some notes for the movie that is being shown in my Cinema class, V for Vendetta. An awesome movie by the way.

I do have to amend something to my previous post about Mormon. I had meant to place it in the article when I wrote it, but I just got going, I forgot. What I need to amend to the post is this: Those of us whom are not Mormon in reference to ZCMI, to us, it means Zions Crazed Mormon Idiots. You'd have to live in Utah to really understand it.

March 19th, I will be participating in my first Film Club meeting at my college. We are watching Persona. I'll try to remember to discuss it when I go into work that night.

I wish I had more to talk about, but at this time, nothing really major has happened to really getting me on a rant. I'll catch up with you all in later posts.

Why you shouldn't be Mormon

I may be a little [read: a lot] out of line on this, but hey, I think I'm allowed to be out of line every once in a while. But I really, for the life of me, can't figure out what the deal is with Mormons.

Mormons are weird people (except for my Cinema teacher... if he is a Morman... he's cool). To live in the state of Utah you feel like you need to have a passport to even live in the state. For just about anything that you have to do their (i.e. scouting, shopping) you have to have some sort of affiliation with a Morman church. I'm sorry, but I don't feel like if I want to shop that I need God's or Jesus' blessing for it. I'll do it and commit any sins it takes to get it done.

BLASPHEMY!

Yeah, I'm a Christian, but not a die hard Christian. I tend to stick to my ethics and morals where ever they may lead me. I occasionally read passages from the Bible [read: THE BIBLE (not TWO). That's right, Mormans, or as they like to be called Latter-Day Saints (what a joke). I see none of them as "Saints". If you live in Utah and you see a suburban, you can pretty much assume that they are Morman, especially if you see like 10+ children in the vehicle.

A little SEX CRAZED aren't they?

WIFE: "Oh honey, wouldn't be nice to have another baby?"

HUSBAND: "Yes, dear. I really miss changing those diapers and listening to the whaling in the middle of the night. Oh, I also miss the 'Terrible Twos' where our child just throw temper tantrums and tears everything to shreds. Yes dear, let's go have ourselves another child."

Off they run into their bedroom as the kids are playing outside and start having wild animal sex. Crashing into the walls, the night stand, knocking down lamps. All you hear from outside the door is things hitting the floor and breaking and the husband and wife moaning like wild beasts.

Nine months pass... child is born... child reaches preteen age... stated conversation repeats itself... more destruction done... off to car dealership to purchase a MAV (Mormon Assault Vehicle... they just produced an army).

If you are not Mormon and you live in Utah... whatever you do... DO NOT [read: repeat] shop at ZCMI (which in Morman language is Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution. Yeah, if you are not Morman and you try and shop there for clothing.. you're kind of shunned. Figured I'd go ahead and save you the humility and hassle of trying to purchase merchandise there... Remember that belonging to a Morman church deal... yeah.. they look for that when they go to ring you up.

Now on to the reason why I decided to write this. I just read an article on FOXNews.com. The article can be found here that says that you can't view YouTube videos from BYU (Brigham Young University). The college has blocked it. Damn them!!!! That's entertainment. I don't care that you have limited bandwidth... GET MORE DAMNIT!!!!

It's a real good thing that I don't go that college. If they blocked that and I found out... I would probably be looking for a new college to attend because I would have been thrown out (think of that sounds like it would be quite fun since I'm not Morman... but then again, you probably need to be Morman to get in anyway... just like EVERYTHING else.)

Well, I'm done with my ranting... I could probably keep this going, but I have work to do... kind of the whole idea of being at work.

Feeling Unloved....

I'm feeling very unloved right now

"Why?" you might ask.

Because I feel that you, my readers [read: if any are out there] just aren't reading what I have to say. The reason why I say this is because, I never see any responses to any of my posts and it just makes me feel like I'm talking to myself. I write this for you all to read and respond to my posts. I'd be ecstatic to start turning my blog into more than a "personal diary/journal". I want something to debate, something that raises issues with you all. Give me something to work with.

I love writing my blog. It gives me another output for when I'm not playing my game. I am putting myself out there. Out there to be criticized and critiqued. I like knowing what other people think about various topics and I like see other peoples views. Without you, all I see is just my side of things and it kind of gets a little lonely seeing just my side of different topics.

Please, get involved with my blog. Post comments on topics. Hell, post a comment that's not even related to what my post is about if you want to see my side of something. I'll take your comment and turn it into a blog post and then we can have a new discussion going. Like any other writer, musician, composer, I need material to work off of. Right now, all I have are current events. The only reason I haven't posted anything on them is because I haven't had the motivation to.

Is there a current event that has got you intrigued and want to know what I think about it? Post me a comment. Get me involved with what you would like me to talk about. Post comments on my journals that I submit to my Cinema class. (Journal #2 I received a B on... not enough notes.)

Basically... the bottom line is
Get Involved!!!!!
