A few days ago, I returned my third Xbox 360 for a new one. My second Xbox failed on me simply because the dashboard would freeze any time I turned on the Xbox. Yes, I still have the 20GB, although I’m hoping this one will last me more than a year.
This past week, I’ve purchased Halo 3, Soul Calibur IV, and Madden NFL 09. I haven’t indulged into either games to post a review, although I’ll do that soon before this week goes out.
I also received a new blue 8GB IPod Nano in the mail today. You know what I did with that? I immediately added Joss Whedon’s Doctor Horrible episodes. I really recommend my readers to give Doctor Horrible a try (and, please, give Doctor Horrible a try!) - it’s an excellent short series that will bring both laughs and sorrow.
<rant> You know what pisses me off? (And keep in mind, I don’t even like the guy.) The media is giving such flack about Barrack Obama admitting he used drugs during high school.
Um…first of all - weren’t we all horribly confused teenagers back then?
Second of all, it was high school. Whether I agree or disagree with Obama’s political views, I actually admire the fact he admitted he used drugs - he can be an inspiration to people who currently use drugs in high school and have them realize they can be more than what they are now. That it is possible to rise above the influence and become an important figure in history.
And to balance this out - there would obviously be a problem if Obama continued to use drugs to this day. But because he rose above the influence and became what he is today (whether one considers him a liar or not, one must admit that he is an important person), he does not deserve to be put down because he did drugs during high school.
Seriously, people. If you’re going to complain about Obama, don’t shit about his high school past. That’s just lame.
Oh - another thing - it annoys the crap out of me that people are accusing him (as if it is a bad thing) of being Muslim. So what if he is Muslim? Last time I checked the documents, America is a free country and you can be a part of any religion you want.
Also, I’m sick of people giving McCain flack because he is old. Seriously, America, WTF? You’re giving these people flack because of their high school past, age, and religious affiliation? Oh, please!</rant>
