Oh man, I love this. Yes its dumb, yes its awful, but where else can you find a video of someone making fun of George Bush AND Jedi powers?!
update
“Bush wants $100 billion more for wars, report says”
Well…. so much for getting out of the war.
Well… idk what else to say….
“President Bush said Wednesday he would “not be rushed” into a decision on a strategy change for Iraq, saying that in a round of consultations he heard both some interesting ideas and some “ideas that would lead to defeat.”.” Oh man… oh man… what can someone say about this. Ok first off, our presedent is a MORON! God, I just hate the man. How dumb can one person be. It would be funny if he didn’t have such a strong rule over our country, but sadly he ended up as our president. But come on, how highly does that speak of us. We elected him not once, but twice. No wonder everone thinks were idiots. Its obvious there really isnt any plan for Iraq, and they have no plans on leaving. Its rediculous. Please, can we just get this guy out of office?!

No more lost files for me, from this second on I’m lost file free.
I just did a final recheck of my computer to hunt out any other files who manages to evade being posted, just incase something else had managed to wiggle itself deep into my computer. But, after a long and tedious 30 second search I’m proud to say my computer is wiggle file free, and you are all the first people to read all posts created by me.
But just incase you thought that was good, it doesnt really matter. It just means you wasted like 10 minutes of your life reading this blog.
Whos pumped for my second attempt at getting this post up.
I swear, sometimes I wish I could kick the internet in the butt. I feel like if it were a person it would be a very annoying 10 year old boy. The kind that, at the most inconvenient moments, decide to do something stupid. Like kick you in the leg, steal something, or make loud noises with obnoxious toys. Yeah… so pretty much i wrote my entire blog about satire. I was about to post it when i had a grand idea, i decided to add picture to add to the fun of my blog space thing. Literally the second i got them up, the Internet shut down erasing the last 30 minutes of my life. OK, now that I’ve told you all something that will never effect you, and you really didn’t want to hear, ill go on to try to rewrite my satire post before my Internet decides it hates me again.
When it comes to life, very few things really make me laugh. I can watch the funniest movies and not even giggle. Its not that i don’t find them funny, their just not laughing material for me. But when it comes to things like sarcasm, satire, and people moronically getting hurt I cant get enough of it. I think the main reason I’m so in-love with satire is because of its awkwardness. Not only does satire give the person the power to make a complete jerk out of themselves and make fun of something or someone, but it usually makes everyone else uncomfortably happy. Satire makes making people feel like jerks an American pass time. Just look at South Park. Its one of the best examples of satire around. Not only does it make fun of absolutely anything that breaths, but it has managed to gain both loyal fans, and mortal enemies. Like good old Tom Cruise and his Scientology friends. But satire isn’t just a form of the best quality humor, its a tool to pick at problems that really exist in society. The only reason satire is so amazing, is because it proudly states the controversial things people are thinking, but puts a humorous spin on it. The best satiric (<- is that even a word?) comedians are the ones like Sacha Noam Baron Cohen who uses other peoples ignorance to point out social problems. I mean, when life comes down to it, its fun to make fun of people, but its even better to get them to make fun of themselves with out knowing it.
P.s. To brighten up this really long and random post Ive decided to include my favorite world. If you ever get into a fight with someone, just tell them they have an very bulbous nose. Because come on, what kind of dis can you say back to that. Its just so amazing the person will be stunned by your knowledge of awesomeness. Oh BTW, the definition of bulbous is resembling a bulb especially in roundness. Seriously, the words just plain awesome.
Oh BTW, I’m in a really good mood, If you haven’t realized.
One more great Whoopdy Doo for me!
Oh man, only one more left before I have to write the new post about satire. I’m getting close!
Oh man oh man, where should I start on the Macbeth adaptations. Well, before I get into a rant about how I find most redoes of anything annoying, I should just point out I wasn’t the biggest fan of Macbeth in its original state. The book was way to depressing to start off the year. But please, take no offense Wasserman, I’m not questioning your book picking skills, just maybe your timing or order.
I mean, I guess if I were to pick a redo I like the best it would be the movie the Throne of Blood. I love movies, if you didn’t know, and two big parts of having a good movie are 1) scenery and 2) acting. To me it doesn’t matter if the movie is in subtitles. My favorite movie of all times is a foreign French film. If a foreign movie is good enough the dialect should not matter. That’s the best part of Throne of Blood. The movie is created in a way that you can understand what’s going on by the way the characters move and look. But I have to admit, the best part of this film was by far
Lady Asaji Washizu. I’m sorry, but she is by far the best
Lady Macbeth. In my opinion she is much more interesting that the original
Lady Macbeth because of the way she moves and acts. It was just way too weird. But sadly, even good things have their flaws. Even though the movie was amazing, it didn’t have the same supernatural undertone. In the original Macbeth the three witches are creepy women who either know the future, or use Macbeth as a puppet to fallow through with their plan. Either way they are more prominent figures. But I think that is one of the reasons I liked the movie more. It did not hold on to Macbeth. It used it as a guideline, but was not a clone of it. I have to say, the other two adaptations tied in last place for me. They both felt fake and unnecessary. It is as though the writer could not think of anything to write, so just used Shakespeare to get their work published. If I were Shakespeare… and I wasn’t dead… I would be wicked upset that people were butchering my plays like that. When it comes to uMbatha I understand that reading Macbeth from the perspective of another country is interesting, but not enough to really like its writing. To me that is something that should not be a whole story. Actually, I have changed my mind, that or I lied but you’ll never know which, I do have a least favorite. When it comes to really bad Macbeth redoes I give the prize to good old Travesties. Come on people, its called creativity. The Travesties to me was like reading something a five year old would write, but with better vocabulary. When ever I tried to compare the two writings (Macbeth and Travesties) I felt like I was getting dumber. To me the whole thing is just weird and makes no sense. I was pretty disappointed by how unimaginative the writer was. At least the other two adaptations made attempts to put their own twist into the story. Taking a story and changing the ending so dead people come back to life and everyone has a good laugh about it, yeah… not that deep. Now do not get me wrong, I have a good feeling I’m just being a negative
Nancy about all of this. But hey, I pretty much put a warning at the top of this post that I didn’t like any of the four. Besides, when aren’t I negative?!
p.s. Yeah, i did put a smiley in there. And yes, i am that cool.
Oh man… how do i always write so much with out really saying anything? Does anyone actually read all this stuff?
the second out of my regretably late works.
So pretty much, this is the post that SHOULD have been put up for the Shakespeare movie thing. But like i said before, my great short attention span made me blank out on actually POSTING it. Thanks ADD, once again, i hate you.
For my outside… movie? I watched two. Well…. kinda. I watched the modern Romeo and Juliet, because it seemed to come up a lot in conversations, and i tried to watch Midsummer Nights Dream, but that didn’t work out so well. Romeo and Juliet really didn’t live up to what i thought it would be. I mean, usually when something is talked about a lot its good. I mean, don’t get me wrong, the way the movie is made is amaizing. I loved the scenes and the sets, just not the movie. The idea is really cool, setting the play in modern times, but even thats not extreamly original. Pretty much I was mostly depressed about the acting. Maybe it was because they all looked like morons to me speaking in Shakespearean while shooting at each other with guns, but something just didn’t work out right. I mean, I understand wanting to try to preserve the feel of the play, but it was just to much. If you want to make a modern version of a Shakespeare play it should be modern, not a muddle of the two. As for A Midsummer’s Night Dream I can’t even begin to explain my bordom. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED the play, but the movie is just…. idk… in lack of a better word… weenieish? Once again, amaizing sets and designs, but just bad acting. Maybe thats just my opinion, but for some reason I had to stop watching it. It was just to annoying.
p.s. I’m sorry if I have insulted anyone by insulting these movies. If you really do get upset by this, you might want to rethink reading anything else i ever post, ever again, becuase if me complaining about movies makes you mad, then you probably wont like anything else either. Sorry little buddy, I’m just a negitive critic.
Oh god!
So today Mr. Olmstead was giving out grades when he told me he was missing my blog on Iraq. Of course, being me, i totally blanked on if i had done one or not. I was convinced i had a while ago. I came home, watched cartoons, and came on here to just make sure i had. I was right, i had done the assignment the day it was assigned, i just never posted it. To make things even better i made the same mistake with 2 posts for Wasserman. I had saved all of the supposed posts to my computer and completely forgot to post them. Once again i have successfully proved i am a complete moron to everyone reading this blog. So here is the post on Iraq for Olmstead.
I’m not someone who naturally is outgoing. If you know anything about me you would know I’m actually pretty shy, but I make myself loud to cover it up. But there are a few things I talk about openly, to anyone who listens. Although most of them have to do with comics or movies, something that really gets to me is the war. To me, war should be used as a last result. Nothing in the world is worth killing human beings unless it is used as a last resort as protection. The idea that our country has gotten itself involved in such a pointless and useless war is terrifying to me. Our country should not be in Iraq at all. The whole idea that we are helping them is pathetic. We took a country that was already in bad shape, bombed it, kicked it around, changed its government, and its like our own government thinks they deserve a pat on the back. We haven’t helped, and now we are stuck in a country that doesnt want us there. I hate our government. Not the real government, just the people who are in it right now. Seriously, no wonder the rest of the world looks down at us. Our country must look like a bunch of morons to the rest of the world. Invading Iraq was the worst idea. It did no good what so ever. Our soldiers are going there and getting killed. My neighbors in New Hampshire’s son is there right now. Almost all of the men he was with got killed. I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous. So yeah, I hate war.
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
This whole story freaked me out. The idea of humans being treated like some kind of work animal is such a creepy idea. Imagine being taken from your home and brought to a place, or being born into a place, where your whole purpose is to work and live like a farm horse. I hate this idea of only getting one pair of clothes a year. The entire thing just freaked me out. I can not imagine watching all of this happening back then and not trying to do anything to stop it. I know that their beliefs were different during that time, but come on. They were human beings being treated like farm animals. If anyone would like to try to justify that, please, be my guest. What happened back then was torture. It’s gross, and just proves how pathetic the human race is. I both hate and love reading these narratives. It’s amazing to see how bad things were, but at the same time, I can barely bring myself to. These people were real. They lived through all of this. Its just shocking.
