This isn't right

Normally I'd talk about video games in my other Geek blog but when something is just wrong. I need to tell EVERYONE.

Here was have a game where you shoot innocent little Prairie Dogs at long range with a rifle, so the poor little guys don't know that its coming. THIS IS WRONG !!!! Killing cute litte critters is WRONG. Oh did I mention that this game was co created by the National Rifle Association. WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Now I don't want you to think I'm one of those "Violence in Video Games is bad" type of people. Especially since I'm still playing Grand Theft Auto off and on (Picking up the prostitutes and watching the car rock is funny), but when its some innocnet little guy, I draw the line.

The only way this game would be ok, is if the little critters were also armed and could shoot back. Let's see how much fun it is for the hunter when Chip and Dale are packing an AK-74 and a Uzi.

Once I met this guy who thought killing little critters was ok. It was at some farm his dog, had cornered a squirrel up a pole. First, the white trash brother tries to shoot the little guy with a BB gun but he was so stupid (and hung over) that he wasn't hitting anything. Anyway the other ass grabbed the gun and hit it a few times, so it jumped and the dog basically mauled the little thing. I was appalled. There was no reason for this critter to die.

Now I can hear the hunters crying foul but too friggin bad. No one ate the damn thing, and killing for sport is wrong. Even in this game, its questionable. At least in Half Life 2, its them or us.

When did the border become so dangerous?

Last night I was reading about a group of people called Minuteman. These people take the time to patrol parts of the southern border between the U.S. and Mexico, looking for illegal immigrants, or whatever they think they should be looking for. Now I'm hearing how they plan to start patrolling the U.S./Canadian border as well. Why not dig a moat and be done with it? Right off the bat, I would like to remind people that the 9/11 terrorists did not come from Canada. They were never here and that guy who tried to cross the border in 99 was caught by customs.

Currently there is a lot of traffic between our 2 nations. Goods crossing the border as well as people and yes, people are caught trying to illegally cross the border now and then. I know some people are saying that, "well we need to catch more of them", but they fail to understand one fact. THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO SNEAK INTO THE U.S. FROM CANADA. !!!! In fact, based what I read in newsgroups and forums, its Canada who should be watching for illegal immigrants coming from the U.S. There are a lot of unhappy people down there.

Personally, I have a HUGE problem with a bunch of vigilantes, wearing their NRA buttons on their fatigues that they bought at an army surplus store, patrolling the border in their old pickup trucks with "They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead hand" bumper sticker. Then these guys take breaks at a campfire; drink beer and setting their farts on fire. All while they watch for any movement from the Canadian side of the border. A lot of moose and going to end up dead and they're better be arrested for poaching.

What would really make things worse would be these people on patrol along the St Lawrence River and then they end up pissing off a tribe of Mohawks on a reserve. When they get mad, they get extremely violent.

Honestly if the U.S. government doesn't feel that it's necessary to have that kind of vigilance with our border then why are these people doing this? Personally I feel safer here in Canada and have no intentions of sneaking across the border; especially since I'm going to need a Passport to cross the border soon. Is it because we look just like you? Are you still pissed over the war of 1812? I think someone needs a reality pill here.

Go away Farrah

Normally I would never do the "Hollywood Reporter" thing because I feel these people are the shallowest people on the planet, but has anyone seen Farrah Fawcett lately? SHE LOOKS LIKE A CRACK WHORE. Does anyone know if she's suffering from a disease or something? That would at least explain something, though it wouldn't explain the time she showed up on Letterman drunk.

Well I caught her on Letterman again and she was plugging a new reality series. Oh God, not another one. It was original when it was the Osbournes but now, its crap. Even Sharon and Ozzy realize that it was time to end it, and that's when Farrah finally decided to jump on the bandwagon.

Now I'm just wondering how bad this show is going to be. Is this going to be another Anna Nicole Smith monstrosity or a Paris Hilton kind of crap? I think someone should tell her that her 15 minutes are OVER !!!!

Actually it's really sad at how she's trying to hold onto what little she has left. You have other former celebrities making an appearance on "The Surreal Life" and that's it. I remember the one with Charo and the one with Eric Estrada and sure it was nice to see them for a bit but after that they went on their way but someone needs to get a stick and smack Farrah's hands so she'll let go of the door frame so we can get her out of here, once and for all.

Ok this is a shallow post and it won't change the world but that's all that's coming to my mind right now.

Yadda Yadda Yadda

It has to be Monday because I feel like crap. The idea of going through another week of endless BULLSHIT makes me want to retch. Oh well, at least I have something to look forward too. Once again, its meet with the "headhunters" to see what is going on. job leads and other things. That is the light at the end of my tunnel.

I know I didn't post anything yesterday but my heart just wasn't into it, sorry. I ended up watching movies that I had rented through Zip and I wanted to get them in the mail today. Now will someone tell me what the big deal is with Napoleon Dynamite? THIS MOVIE SUCKED BIG TIME. The worse part is that I knew a guy like that and there's nothing funny about it. It's sad really to have a total lack of social skills. I had to turn it off because I thought it was that bad. CRAP CRAP CRAP.

On the other hand, I also watched Office Space and I thought that movie was great. I've always wanted to beat the crap out of a fax machine. Actually it's a printer at work I want to destroy. I want to run it over with a forklift over and over again. SMASH.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have anything else interesting to say so I'll let this day get started and see how it pisses me off.
