Hey yeah that website thing

Hey yeah that website thing! Heh! I have one! Riiight!

Sorry guys. This website was meant to be a diary, but when a diary is available to the general public and I was encouraging people to visit it... yeah you tend to leave bits and pieces out. I've come to learn that there's only a few people I can be open with. Like three. So yeah... the website is done. Forever.

Well forever is a long time. If I gain immorality before I die and need to pass time immemorial, then sure I might give it another shot.

In case anyone actually reads this, I feel I owe you something. So here's two bits of advice.

1) Life isn't perfect. Deal with it, and make do with what you've got. Whinging really isn't gonna help it. Yes, I'm a hypocrite... :D

2) There's nothing that can't be acheived with a ninja rope and a shotgun. Worms taught me that.

I'll miss this site. And if you read, thankyou. And happy birthday for your next birthday, in case I forget.

The Olympics
Mood:  irritated
Ah yes, the Olympics. Now, being a not very sporty person, the Olympics doesn't mean that much to me. You might ask 'Then why post about it?' There's two possible answers there. First one being 'Cause I can!', but the real reason is that THE OLYMPICS IS MAKING ALL THE TV CRAP! Yes, that is bad grammar. But the point of it is beacues the olympics is on the other channels don't even try to keep up in ratings, which means we're stuck with repeats and bad movies. And god knows there's nothing I hate more than when they give us repeats of CSI instead of new episodes. So, here's to the end of the Olympics, it can't come quick enough. People good at sport should show off in their own time, not my CSI time.

Cheers - GROOMY

P.S I must say, those olympic mascots are PRETTY funny, though.

Damn Mortality
Mood:  blue
Yes, I'm sick. Quite sick in fact, so this won't be a terribly long blog. I'd just like to point out that being sick sucks, and I'm angry The Powers That Be didn't make me immortal or at least impervious to illness. Did the higher powers think it'd be funny to put viruses on this Earth that make people feel like crap? What POSSIBLE benefit could sickness have?

Anyways, I REALLY want everybody to reads this to post their opinion on the discussion topic below. Even if it's only three words! JUST DO IT!

The Perfect World - THE GROOMY DISCUSSION TOPIC OF THE WEEK!
Mood:  quizzical
Many, many moons ago at a friends house a group of friends of which I was included started talking about the perfect world. So now, this becomes the Groomy Discussion Topic of the Week, of which there will be one each week from here on out, and I REALLY want absolutely EVERYBODY who reads this to leave a comment with their opinion on what the perfect world would be like. DO IT NOW!

Cheers - GROOMY

P.S One thing to think about. To know the full extent of happiness and pleasure you must have first felt pain, suffering and sadness, as if you are forever happy you will never know of anything otherwise and it won't seem very spectacular. That's just something to think about, I'm not telling you what to write in your comment, this is just something to consider.

ONE WEEK OLD! TAKE THAT DOUBTERERS OF ME!
Mood:  party time!
That's right, a week. So far, we've covered:

Video Games Portrayed Negatively in the Media
The Definition of a Nerd
Insanity
Religion
Crime
Paradoxes
My Drawing
Corn
Hollywood
and Justice

In a week! A WEEK! ALL THAT IN A WEEK! If I was you, I'd get me some chocolate for my troubles.

In celebration of this, I'm taking a day off. No blogging for you today.

Cheers - GROOMY

P.S I now have a link to Rolly's blog. Go there, or he'll cry. Admittedly he may cry anyway, but you can't blame me for that. It's his fault I stepped on his toe.

P.P.S The Batman picture is gone from the art post. Sarah knows why.

Somebody confused Justice and the Law and Now Nobody Can Tell The Difference
Mood:  irritated
Today's blog is on Justice. And as my heading implies, it is not to be confused with the law. The law may have represented justice in times past, but now it helps people deserving justice escape it more than it delivers justice. A murderer can escape justice by paying a lawyer truckloads of money to make evidence 'inadmisable', so while there may be clear evidence of who killed a person it can simply be ignored and the person let free.
So, if it is not the law, what is justice? Justice is people getting their due punishment, justice is people getting due rewards, but most of all justice is the deliverance of consequences of any action you take. Justice is indescriminate, or blind as they say, and if you do wrong then you should be bought to justice and if you do right you should be rewarded, no matter what race, colour, sex, sexual preference or anything you are.
And it's about time justice was re-instated. Too many crooked people hide from justice behind the law, and too many people aren't justly rewarded for good actions. It's all about taking responsibility for your actions, and accepting what you should get if you do wrong.

And then... CORN!
Mood:  caffeinated
My good friend Liz read through my entire page and told me if had too much of a depressing undertone and I should write something involving sunshine, happiness and corn. There will be a proper blog after this, but for now the short story dedicated to Liz:

Lightning ripped through the sky as rain fell like the heaven's tears against hard concrete below. There would be no SUNSHINE for this sad city today, and a lonely figure stood atop a large building, devoid of any HAPPINESS, watching as the city buzzed below him below, teeming with masses of people who were content to do nothing but fulfill the will of this concrete monster that civilisation had created from the ashes of mother nature. And then... CORN! CORN everywhere! And it was good CORN! Hooray!

Ahem.

And on to the proper blog. Today, the subject is movies.

It is my belief that today the fact that Hollywood spends lots of money on it's movies is a bad thing, and that if a movie has a high budget it must be bad.

Somebody please tell me the logic behind this. Take Spider-Man 2 for example. I loved that movie. Yet because it was made by Hollywood it is considered to 'have no soul' and be a 'mindless action flick', whereas had it been a low budget Australian movie it would have been 'Movie of the decade' and 'emotionally moving'. Spider-man 2 was a damn good movie, with as much good acting, charactersiation and soul as it did action, special effects and stunts.

I'd compare this to music as well. Take Evanesence for example. Before they hit the top of the charts they were 'cool' because no-one really knew them, but as soon as they were internationally recognised as extremely talented it was suddenly 'uncool' to like them.

I guess the point here is it doesn't matter if the people making it only want your money and gratitude, a good movie is a good movie and should be recognised as such, doesn't matter who made it or how much money they have. Would you descriminate against a rich person even if they were really kind and supportive?

Perplexing Paradoxes
Mood:  chatty
As I said in my last blog, I'm going to discuss some paradoxes.
First of all, you can't have the opposite of something. To make an example, the opposite of a black cap would have to:
a) Be white, as black is the opposite colour to white.
and
b) Not exist, as the opposite to existing is not existing.
And, of course, it's impossible for something that doesn't exist to have a colour. Even if we take out the the bit about existence, consider the opposite of a tree. It'd have to grow into the ground, and be just a hole in the ground because the opposite of being made of something is not being made by anything. Also, the branches would have to grow inward, but a hole can't grow into a whole. As you can see, it get's far too complex. The idea of an opposite is stupid and should never be used again.
Next up, and this helps with my argument against religion, we can prove nothing has the power to do anythign. Because if, say God, could do everything, then he could make something too heavy for himself to lift or a question to hard for him to answer. But since he can't lift or answer it, he can't do anything. Take that, God!
And now, I'll prove that nothing ever moves anywhere! Imagine that you wanted to move to the other side of the room. To do that, you would first have to move half that distance, before you could get to the otherside. From there, you'd have to move half of the distance from the halfway point to the wall. And of course this process keeps repeating because you can halve any distance, so you'll never reach the otherside of the room. The fact that you think things move is just another figment of your highly deluded mind.
That's enough for now I think, but here is two things for you to ponder:
a) What happens when an irresistable force strikes and immovable object?
and
b) In the following sentence, decided whether or not I would be lying if I said it. The sentence is "I am lying."

Crime is a harsh mistress
Mood:  not sure
In our current world, it is very hard to get away with comitting a crime. With forensics becoming ever more profeincet at solving crimes, it seems almost impossible to commit the 'perfect crime'. Thinking about this, it could be argued that because of the risks and tribulations involved with commiting a crime are so great, that crime is a valid form of work, because it is so hard and the cost is so great. Of course making it a valid form of work would remove punishment thus making not a valid form of work, but I'll discuss paradoxes in another blog.
Now while the above might seem logical at first glance, especially if you're a criminal yourself, your leaving one vital factor out of the equation. The human factor. The reason that it isn't and never will be an accepted form of work is while it may disadvantage yourself lots to commit a crime, it's always going to disadvantage the victim more, whether it's them getting all of their DVDs stolen to them dieing, the fact of the matter is that in the end a person is going to suffer more than you're going to gain from commiting a crime. And that's why there's people whose jobs are to work day and night to stop and/or catch criminals.
Now you might ask what was the point of all that? Well, there wasn't one. Get over it.
