Super jail

My idealized prison system would be one like Super Jail from the appropriately named show SuperJail. One where criminals are ensnared and transported to by a flying deathbot. Then subjected to a hellish land where they are frequently maimed or murdered in prison bloodbaths frequently due to the Jailbot's homicidal tendencies and the Warden's miscalculated plans. For the sake of the topic I will put away my idealization of a prison system for something more rendered in reality and feasibility. Prisons definitely should exist, so we can house the horrors of society. We can't kill them all because we probably can't afford the body bags and as a society we can not bank on black and white morality. A murderer of the worst and most proved kind should have his or her life taken as well. A thief should be jailed and stripped of the stolen goods and fined. Criminals should be doing time. Time is the ultimate punishment or currency as it can not be payed back. It's not buyable or sellable, you have it for as long as you are afforded it by Father Time or Flying Spaghetti Monster. Time affords the existing with rotting. Murder should get the most time. The most vile of murderers and body counts should be given life in prison or the injection. Murderers of different wrongs should be given time appropriate to their wrongs for less or more. Thieves of anything should be given a moderate amount of time. I figure a thief taking belongings and property is redeemable. A fair sentence should be awarded based on the amount stolen and even none if the crime is quite mundane. A fine could substitute a sentence for small thefts. There are exceptions for grand thefts such as Madoff's schemes. I wonder, if technology arises could he get the necessary cybernetic enhancements and gene therapy to live beyond he sentence and get out of jail? Of course those are only dreams of the future but it's a pondering thought due to my interest in future technological advancements and transhuamism. Rapists the most vile of vile should be given the time and treatment of murderers and given a lot of time behind bars. Many crimes are given fair justice in the prison system and I feel no reason to change them. The only problem I see is the current apprehension and process we apprehend criminals. It's severely flawed and poorly vitalized. I do think we should give some criminals of extremely good behavior and of petty crime an early release. If they are fit and properly evaluated I don't see too much harm in letting them go. Certainly murderers and sex offenders wouldn't be let go early. I figure it's better they be subjected to the possibly more hellish real world then being in the penal system sucking from Uncle Sam's good will.

Wild Card: Nerdy time

The nerd rage inside me due to recent events must come out. I this past Saturday have watched Spike TV's Video Game Awards. I'm sorry I watched the abomination that is Spike TV's embarrassing travesty the Video Game Awards this past Saturday. It like an ulcer has left a hole in my stomach. I can no longer keep my feelings of contempt for the VGAs in no longer. I am so embarrassed by saying I have even watched the VGA that writing about it might lead me to emotional collapse. The VGAs are a poorly thought embarrassment to the Video Game and Geek culture. Spike on a yearly basis has served my family the nerds an oh so decadent platter of feces. The nerds my family if not made aware before took my abandoned on Mt. Olympus baby self in. They raised me to love comics, games, and fantasy. You may see members of my family in the wild or at nerd dens which are known to many as GameStop or comic books shops. This all aside the point that Spike has embarrassed my family once again. My family has been disgraced continually and is continued to be mis appropriated by lousy portrayals and this the Spike VGAs. The Spike VGAs should be called the Spike Video Game Advertisements because that is what it is. It is a horrible marketing event that if not for the corporate bought trophies would be fined for false advertising by calling it an award show. The award part of the show takes the cheap seats of the show this year more than any other year. It is not the Oscars where the awards are the focal point. It is the polar opposite, the announcements are the main point of the event. Why can't I get a on TV VGA with merit. There is such events like ones at GDC or CES but not to be watched on the holy television .  The awards when actually given their spotlight are just sad. The categories are atrocious and lacking and half of them are not even broadcasted. Any ones that actually recognize recipients with actual talent are given at the not televised pre show. Awards such as best voice actor which was full of talented nominees are shafted without true recognition. Look now at the award itself, the aptly named vector monkey. It is of course a monkey with a crown. How does that quite relay to gaming? Maybe the studio of the year picking the awards color in Spike's mind gameifys it enough. The award winners are oh so democratically decided. The viewers vote for the winners. If only that were true, a panel of judges decides the winners. The panel is composed of developers, publishers, and gaming mag employees. Of course that's a stretch admitably, the winners are no doubt probably bought by the corporations. Otherwise if the deserved actually won we would not see crap getting a crown year after year. Next, the celebs of the ceremony is where the real magic is. The host was Zachary Levi of Chuck fame. He is admitably a good choice being a gamer, VA for a few games, and operates a game merch site. Though looking at the rest, one will not find people of appropriateness. Sure we get gaming royalty like Miyamoto of Legend of Zelda and Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear. We get Seth Green who may or not be appropriate. Beyond that we get your filler celebrities. We get the cast of Workaholics of Comedy Central making crappy jokes. We get dumbfounded model Brooklyn Decker, who seemed like a deer in headlights speaking her minds. We even got my favorite the warlock himself Charlie Sheen there, but how is he even related to gaming? Is Charlie next to get a Warlock class for WoW or something? These people are there why? How are they even remotely appropriate or related to gaming? I must give credit to Spike for not parading around porn stars like they did previous years. Atleast they have done that to give the show a disguise of class. They did invite some greats like Mark Hamil and Tara Strong who are known also for being Luke Skywalker or the Joker and Harley Quinn respectively.  Where do I hear they were? If their own tweets and reports to be trusted, they were sited in the far back bleachers. That's right, they put Luke Skywalker and Harley in the nose bleeds. What a disgrace that talent is benched and Hulk Hogan is given the front row. Why can't there be more gaming celebs at the VGAs? It's not like non gamers are tuning in by the score to watch and won't know the people. Bring in Bioshock head Ken Levine or Insomniac Games's Ted Price. Both known well and respected in the community and would give the VGAs merit. Even previous years's Samuel L. Jackson is a choice than models, warlocks, porn stars, and crappy tv stars. Bring out the head of Team Ninja who made Ninja Gaiden, he could provide some actual knowledge and actual jokes to the ceremony after of course he's done cursing and yelling. A new aspect due to its liveness on both coasts is their consequence for too long of a speech. The Oscars had a melody played when a guest over extended his or her allotted time. At the VGAs we get a costplayed soldier who grabs the guest and proceeds to "t-bagg" them. Which is funny in thought but should this be the representation of the culture we get? It's funny but crass and even though we see a COD dev running off at the chime and another being brung down and subjected to a much deserved t-bagg it's not at all a good way to give the culture a face. The thing given the most time wasn't the nominees but the gaming announcements and trailers. When the announcements overide your memory of the actual awards you know there's a problem. I can tell you ever trailer and game shown but not one winner of an award. It's such crap I guess they felt instead of improving stuff they would  add more and more videos to drown out the laughable own stage events. The nominees get 3 seconds to give thanks but Diablo 3 a game even PC players have stopped caring about gets 8 minutes of airtime to show its intro sequence. Even Zelda getting the first Hall of Fame spot was given about 9 seconds and another 3 for Miayamoto to receive a trophy for his involvement. Why can't they afford the deserving actual time and give bits time to be funny and not be rushed along? This is supposed to be an awards show not a montage of upcoming crap. Give me something sensible, something not embarrassing for my respective culture. It's not like they even tried to be an awards show this year, previous years even if they didn't even have more nominees actually accepting awards they at least had more mentioned and announced. The only person who tried was Hideo Kojima who bravely tried to speak English which is not his native language. I hope it will be better next year, it's not even that hard to fix. Cut back a little on gaming montages, no nothing celebs, poor jokes, and I'll thought bits. How hard is that? It will save money in the end when you think about it, why hire the warlock when you can pay pennies to game developers and ezecs that the game community will actually want to see. Things won't change though, it's the Spike network after all. They give us stereotypical male gems that only drunk homophobic frat boys would like. I hope one year to get a respectable ceremony that celebrates gaming properly with at least a touch of class. Maybe next year we will have a slightly less abominable abomination.

3 Week Retreat

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago? Maybe I'd find her on my travel. I think my first stop would be Japan. I've always found myself attracted to Japan's culture and sights. Their old crossed with western design would be fun to see. The place brims with culture and history. The generation gap of hyper transitional ism and hyper relaxed individualism would be cool to see. I would travel from the peaceful mountains to the bustling cities. Id of course with unlimited funds find myself in high rise and expensive hotels that define luxury. With unlimited money couldn't I just buy the place ala Howard Hughes? I would try my best to take it all in. I find myself wandering the forests and nature hopefully finding upon those trees with the white flowers one sees so much in documentaries. I would pay respect and if possible see some of the destruction left from the disaster. I would visit the museums and tours seeing, hopefully I'd see the crafts and gear of the feudal era and the samurai. I as to my interests find myself visiting Sony and Nintendo stores and true form manga shops. Might aswel try the new foods while I stay there, if I were to try sushi I might aswel go the authentic root. For hilarity's sake I might purchase from the fabled Japanese thong underwear vending machines. Before I leave I would travel finally to Mt. Fiji  to get some perspective on life and think about my time. Then off to the airport for my next stop.
To Spain I would go for my second week. I've always wanted to go there, in all it's beauty. I would love to specifically see the museums and possible remnants of the Spanish Civil War's propaganda and left over wreckage from it's history. Might aswel go skateboarding while I'm there, supposedly they are very friendly to them. Barcelona is known for its good skate spots. Maybe I could test out my Spanish linguistic abilities while I'm there. I'd hope to take in the warm weather while there.  Find myself upon authentic Spanish foods and restaurants. Admire the architecture. Maybe ask the Spaniards of their view of the world and America. Visit the old historical Spanish castles. Watch bullfighting and soccer. Then off to relax at the beaches and hotels and them "el aero puerto" for my next stop.
My last stop is Greece, a fascinating land of history. Beautiful land and relics left mostly untainted by modernism. I would visit all the old historic sites and regions of Athens and Sparta. Purchase some old world replicas and items. Visit the beautiful beaches and land. Fawn over the beautiful Greek women. Try some Greek foods and restaurants. Hopefully not get robbed in the post economy hell scape cities. Take some time to reflect and rest at the resorts and beaches. Maybe bag me some souvenirs for the family and end my time there with the nightlife. I would then head home enlightened by my travels and maybe appreciate my own culture more.

Comfort food

Comfort food, a most puzzling desire. I eat for comfort but it makes me sick and unhappy in the end. I have multiple comfort foods, all do horrible things to my stomach. My first comfort food that is not exactly the norm for comfort food is pancakes. I love pancakes there is a great allure to their fluffy golden form. The pancakes command to me "render thy syrup unto Caesar". Their soft and sweetness is soothing and calming. I have them multiple times per week and usually never part of breakfast but dinner. It is very soothing and tasteful and reminds me of better times when I eat them.
Another one of my comfort foods is McDonald's. My horrible obsession with their foods will bring me to my death one day. I frequent their ranch wraps, fries, and McFlurrys. I feel great and horrible when eating the food with a tinge of self satisfaction. It makes me feel slobbish but good shuffling food into my mouth by the handful. Wraps jammed into my jaws and fries by the handful ferried in with Oreo McFlurry breaking down the fries trapped in my throat. The food is irresistible but of low quality of course but when the sin of gluttony takes over it all tastes great. The food is great for those horrible days when you just want to scream and end up silencing yourself with food. I feel almost like those out of shape Greek leaders who would lounge with food being served to them. Of course I feed myself but I imagine it feels similarly good and comforting. I'm also a fan of Burger King's burgers, they are my ultimate go to food when I'm down. It's almost like James's Franco in Pineapple Express when he's on the swing crying and eating the burger. Burger King's burgers to me are medicinal, something about the sometimes not burnt to a crisp meat that makes me feel so happy. I just jam it in and it makes all the sorrows go away. I think that's the sign of a problem but a man must be allowed a vice or two. That is only human nature of course. Its in the end horrible unhealthy food that I should not be eating. It's only some chemical allusion that the food makes my woes go away. There is no problem solved me eating these horrible disgusting foods but while I'm failing to get to the real problem I'm going to enjoy it immensl

Questions of time

Many questions have aroused my interest and sometimes make me question my reality and importance in the cosmos. I over my short amount of years have brought many questions to my focus and I hope one day may discover their answers. 
Is there a god or similarly omnipotent force in control of the universe?
Is destiny a true force to the world?
Is free will a reality of the world?
Is my dream of cryogenic freezing after death a worthwhile endeavor?
Will there ever be a sequel to Zoolander?
Why am I so awkward and weird?
Why do people like Call of Duty so much?
How does space expand?
Is there multiple universes?
What is the meaning of my life?
What is the meaning of other people's lives?
Why do the evils of the world continue to flourish?
Why does history repeat itself?
Why is it the bad history repeat itself but not the good parts of history?
Why don't the Kardashians just burst into flames?
Why hasn't Bruce Jenner offed himself yet after dealing with Kim, Kourtnee, Klhloe, and his own wife Kris?
Why is Dr. Pepper so addicting?
What are all of Dr. Pepper's flavors?
Why do the trolls continue to walk in triumph?
Why do the winners fall victim to the trolls and the losers?
Why hasn't Charlie Sheen died for his drug abuse?

Why is Stevie Ray Vaughan dead and we can't get Bon Jovi in a helicopter?
Why when Lennon was shot did Yoko Ono not get one bullet while standing next to him?
Was Princess Diana's death an assassination?
Why is there so much racism in the world?
Where does the rain is Spain mainly fall?
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Why is Johnny Depp so popular?
Does the "M" in MTV now stand for mediocre?
Is Karl Lagerfeld really human? 
Is William Shatner really human?
Why do only the good die young?
Why is Steven Shellen in his predicament?
Why hasn't mother nature killed us all for destroying the planet?
Why have humans become as smart as we have become?
Why are the minority of society the rulers of society?
Why 

Mother Govenor

my family member that I think would be good to hold public office would be my mom. She would be most appropriate at the governor level I think. She would be fair in her political stylings being somewhat of a moderate. She would fall more right wing in economics and cost cutting measures. She would fall more liberally in personal liberties and rights. She embodies some good qualities of a leader, she is trustworthy, dependable, productive, and passionate in her beliefs. She is not a pushover and doesn't falter when facing opposition. She tells the truth which not many people could handle but possibly would be applauded for doing so. She always does the right thing. She has good ethics and sensibility without any truly odd ball ideologies and ideas. She can be relied on and I think would do a great deal of good for this state. She would be commended for her policies and her sensibility. She would not only do a good duty to the state but also provide a good face to women in politics in general. She would not be an embarrassment such as Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman but a new respected face for not only women in politics but politics in general. She would be famed a slasher of excess and the unnecessary. She would cut unproductive and corrupted programs across the board. She would cut inflated salaries and propose tax increases for the wealthiest of the wealthy. She would have a reinterpreted objectivism that relies a person is only entitled to their fair share if one has worked for it. Programs would be reevaluated and changed to fit her stipulations and ideas of people's entitlement of care. She would fight for the middle class and hopefully like the presidency of FDR they would fight for her. No surrender or apologies are to be had to her opposition. She would a little similar to Govenor Christie as she would be brutal and clear to the populace about her beliefs and would exhibit a similar nerve and gal. She would be unscathed by any insult or comment. Her thick skin sways any attempt to falt her. She would be aggressive in debates and meetings and would show her gall and spirit. Her viscous temper would give her the ability to lead and fight for her spot and support. She would be fierce on her media appearances. She would be a new voice and new face of politics and ideologies in politics and I believe would make a great governor.

Wild

I have not the slightest idea on the word. Is it erratic uncivilized behavior or does it lack such a negative connotation and is just nature. Natural occurring things could be wild. These things shouldn't probably be given the bad connotations. Isn't civilization and humanity now a naturally occurring part of nature? I have found civilization to be the most wild thing of all. Nowhere in the animal kingdom is there such anger and jealously. Much wilder than anywhere is where humans are, people have been murdered for their shoes and have been captured as property. No where else is wilder even lions give little care when just a passerby and only take when are threatened or are in search of food. A wild animal by most definitions is something to learn from I believe they care about needs and don't waste their time on frivolous things. Wild if anything should be only a description of man made objects and people. Nothing else on the planet is as unnecessary and erratic as products of humanity hence the definition. The canyons rest and are simple pieces of nature but building and skyscrapers are large terrorizing structures with numerous combinations of metals and substances, that is what is truly wild. The beautiful scary tall rain forests should be called natural and the more suitable cities should be wild. Wild is the way people act, irrationally and ignorant. Wild is the buildings we build and toys we buy. It's the stuff we care about and the thoughts we think. We are all natural on the planet but the only part of it that can be truly considered wild.

Burn the howework!!! Viva la Revolution

Maybe no revolution after all. I really don't think I hav much homework at least not anymore. It's taken a nosedive since sophomore year, there's hardly any for me too do anymore. Its not like freshman year where I would curse the teacher's name at night for the piles of needless work. My homework now seems to remind me of my College Phych class I took in the summer, where I had almost no homework and pretty much just had tests and quizzes. That's not to say the homework I get is not enough, it's perfectly fine not having much. I hardly end up spending much time actually doing the homework that I do have probably less than a half hour and that's probably generous. The easy breezy homework does though get done at the last minute sometimes the last second before I'm supposed to hand it in.
My homework nowadays is quick and painless, there is not much to them. It seems to actually have gone down in difficulty which is noticeably dispproportonate to the class's difficulty. It quite baffling to me how some of my high track classes give simpler homework than the lower track classes give me. There was more challenge to homework years ago, it's weird that the longer Ive been in school the less homework I'm getting.
There hasn't been much to learn from homework given to me. Not much of it can one actually learn from if it's something you already were taught. Since most homework is reviewing the material it's somewhat hard to take anything new from it, and usually by the time I get to the homework I have a good idea of what to do. Sometimes I've gotten lucky and the homework was something radically different from what we were learning but it would be usually entertaining and not exactly informative.
I think the reason I leave homework to the last minute Is because I really think I do my best work at the last minute. If I do work before the deadline it never gets done and seems kinda poorly done and forced, whereas my near deadline work seems very passionate and well thought out. Maybe that's an illusion and like my homework is pilling up and is way harder than what I see it as.

Sooo Aloneee

Being alone is one of my favorite things to be. It's when I get so much done and can be alone with my thoughts. It's the no spin zone in my life. I love the quietness and just calm peace of wind the aloneness brings me. It reminds me of the first episode of Two and a Half Men when Charlie is explaining his life to Alan, how Charlie sleeps frequently and does very little work for a lot of money, all of that is the feeling aloneness brings me. It's that relaxation with no one to bother me feeling that I enjoy so much. The aloneness leaves me rested without even sleeping, I guess like Charlie Sheen I don't sleep I wait. I can plan when I'm alone for the future, on when I can squeeze in so more alone time.
I actually want more alone time, like everything enough is never enough. I get a lot but I can always have more. I have a lot of time alone but it is always interrupted by family or phone calls. I hope for a time nothing too ambitious maybe like a week, where everyone is gone and all phones are off. It would just be me relaxing all day and night with no one to ruin it. Sorta like Batman in a way, he's got that big secluded mansion where he can just relax without a care in the world with Alfred who barely counts as a person being around.
Without the aloneness I think I'd go crazy. After being locked up in the mad house also known as Central Regional High School, I need the relaxing aloneness. I just lay down after school basking in relaxation made greater without people around.
Aloneness, my favorite timeless activity that never gets old.

La Musica

Music is a necessity in my life, it brings me happiness and solace in the bleakness of the world. It brings me hope and a soundtrack in the quiet land of Ocean Gate. It in all it's forms is of great importance to me. It as presented in the older cartoon Class of 3000 is something that makes the world go round. It everything and all around us that has rhythm or beat. It can be as wild as Charlie Sheen's meltdown or as quiet as Rosie O'Donnel's dietrician. It the sound of leaders and followers and he sounds of the earth they rule over. It is the sound of war drums and superheroes. Music is the voice and the sound of all and everything.
It is more than noise as it is to some people. If I didn't have it I probably would have stuck my head out the school bus window and prayed for a low lying sign with a clean edge. It makes my life just a little more bearable. It drowns out the voice of many and replaces them. Music is partially my background noise. Action music from movies makes my jogs way more epic than it probably should be. Classical music makes lounging much more fancy and relaxing. Rock music is great for when I'm frustrated and have started the "throwing of the chairs". NWA's Straight outta Compton gives great pulse to when Im getting ready and am pumped up. It makes my life a little less pedestrian one note at a time.
I think it's important to me because it has always been around me in all it's different forms. The house is probably built with cassettes and vinyl records holding up the walls. It brings out something much more energetic and less docile it stirs up the storms of my alter egos and other personalities. I find all types of music are important to me from classical to synth pop from Beethoven to David Bowie.
Music has become my most unditchable addiction and I don't plan on getting treatment any time soon.

Me and the iPhone

"Me and my iPhone, me and my iPhone go together like horse and carriage this I tell you brother I can't have one without the other" to poorly spin the Married with Children theme song. My iPhone and I are inseparable just like me and my watch. If clothes were deemed illegal then still on my way to school, watch on my right wrist and iPhone taped to my thigh. My iPhone has become almost like a totem god that I pray to and go to for guidance. It's my connection to the planet from wherever I am. My iPhone pretty much let's me do anything I need to do at my leisure. Such is a great thing as I'm very lazy which may not be really true, I find it more a lack of motivation or some kind of philosophic "why?...". Anything and everything I can call without getting the house phone, I can surf the Internet without using the computer, and do all my work on this marvel of innovation. I can even mourn with others the loss of it's "creator" Steve Jobs. It's pretty disgusting how my iPhone has ceased the use of my legs, I'm hoping they'll make some cybernetic ones one day to replace my soon to be melted to the couch legs.
Hours and hours of time is underestimating the time spent on my iPhone. It's never far from me and of it counts their is almost 24/7 music radiating from the device. A soundtrack to ones life is a good pick-me-up. It gives a merry upbeat to a currently droning life similar to the up beat 60s music in the game fallout 3 and the sequel New Vegas having the radio playing while slaughtering radiated monsters and monsters. It's with me everywhere in every room of the house and everyone's houses. I always have to be Johnny on the spot when an alert comes flashing on the screen. "Ohh new text message!?, I must text them back immediately or Agent Smith will come with the agents and assimilate me if I don't send this text in the next 3 seconds" says I with the hearing of the buzz of the vibrate. My ringtone must always be waiting to be heard by all because I think it's funny and as such the iPhone must be present. It's a curse really but as I type from my iPhone this blog post its obviously one I cannot fight.
If the cellular network came down id probably have a stroke. For the first 5 minutes I'd be ok but I can't say the same for the coming moments. It wasn't always like that though. Before I obtained the iPhone I was a little bit less tech dependent but now it's like a hunger. It's the joy can from the Venture Bros as I'm convinced the iPhone as well drives its power from the heart from an orphan. I must congratulate Apple though they created a vampiric device capable of enslaving millions to a screen but one that can make the days a twitch brighter and a little more enjoyable.

Drivers

I notice alot about drivers especially the fact that there are only two kinds of drivers. There are the nuerotic hyperventilating worriers who are crazy about following the rules of the law to the most minute detail and almost vomit out of fear at the idea of going over te speed limit. Then there's the other drivers the phycho, cursing, and erratic motorists that believe they exist in a car version of the Thunder dome from the Mad Max movies. The worriers drive too slow and the phycho drivers are too fast. You have the law abiders versus the stampede. They're both awful just like any concept that has two extreme types of people.
I've not seen many dangerous things from other drivers except from my own parents. My mother I believe thinks that she's in a hostile war zone when she's on the road. She curses and yells, drives erratically, passing like 5 cars like it's a video game, and all in all does the complete opposite of anything found in the drivers handbook. With all the illegal turns and speeding it's no wonder she frequently has to take her Lincoln LS for repairs. Comedic routines in movies if replaced with my mother would be turned into documentaries. When the car finally stops and I'm back from the ER for emergency surgery on my exploded heart, I grasp the mother earth for safety and thank father time for returning the lost sand in my hourglass that evaporated from cosmic turmoil from the car ride.
Kind things are lost to the ages, you need detectives like Sherlock Holmes to find them. You'll sometimes see a driver let another driver go first at an intersection or give room in a traffic jam but are both far and few in between.
The way people drive does seem to reflect their personalities, my grandma is neurotic behind the wheel and is neurotic on her feet. My mother is an enraged Minotaur behind the wheel and when dealing with her family. My personality changes behind the wheel I go from calm and unsurpised lounged to a stiff and panicy mess. I would like to be a very calm and collected driver. I would like to be very generous and cautious when I drive though, no point in dying in an exploded car with my body in flame.

Anger Triggers

I can't say I'm a angry person atleast not anymore. I find myself more frustrated or bewildered than ever angry. It's too much trouble in my opinion to be angry and it's unhealthy as it strains your heart. My anger has always been a sort of silent rage that never comes out, it builds and builds and I thought would one day soon come out but after Charlie Sheen's meltdown I've refocused it sort of my own battle against the trolls. I no longer will be affected by the "trolls" and get angry because that's not "winning". I'm determined now on my own "crazy train" to not stop for any trolls while enroute or after I arrive at my destination.
What does make me angry though is intolerance, elitism, and instigators. Intolerance one of the world's big problems does strike a nerve. It makes no sense to me that people can't just accept that their are other belief systems and nationalities, without them we wouldn't have many of the things we have today. Elitism I'm not fond of either especially royalty or those with self appointed status of that figure themselves better than others. A crown or status doesn't mean your worth anything. Instigators I'm not a fan of either, they start problems for no reason, they bully others for personal satisfaction. They are one of the "trolls" who I try to not pay any mind to.
I can control my anger pretty well, when ever angry I usually just end up laughing which sort of calms me down somehow as in my mind they're bursting into flames. I've never really lost it on someone, I've wanted to but something just stops me.
If I could advise those who get angry I must advise them to just stop and let it pass, words cant hurt you and the people who anger you will get satisfaction from the response and it's not worth spending time on instigators.

RE: Freinds, In Number

    In my opinion, having a lot of friends is not as important as having good friends. I believe friendship falls into the quality over quantity category. I would much prefer one good friend than ten just friends. I look at it as there being a sort of inverse proportionality of the quality of friends goes down with the rise in the number of friends. Ive found that having many friends grants you more acquaintances than friends. The ten freinds probably arent going to know you or care about you as much as that one freind. I feel that one true freind can be have a bond as strong as a sibling but not that I would truly know being an only child. A sort of like how the gypsy from the Sherlock Holmes reboot says of Sherlock and Watson "brothers not in blood but in bond". Having many freinds is great and all but the few or one you can really depend on I find much more important.
   I know a few people with scores of friends, I think it does provide a certain "Ill never be with out one" having many friends but they seem to be more happy with their more closer friends. I know people with only a few friends. It seems though that people with more friends though are happy in a more overall level.
  I personally think people want and get a lot of friends just because the like to socialize and feel wanted. Can't fault them for wanting to be happy with lots of companions, I think most people want that to some degree. Some people who concentrate on only one or two friends I think just like the more closer relationships and like the security of the smaller sect trustworthy friends. Both ways are fine and I think people should do whatever makes them happy. I think maybe the people with fewer friends may want to be like the people with a lot of friends but I think their trust and focus will stay with the smaller group.
       My thought on friends rely on the smaller more trustworthy groups of friends. That's not to say I don't find the idea of having many friends appealing. I think it would be nice if only for the reach provided by knowing a lot of people from different groups. That may come across as a grasp for power but it stems from an interest in many walks of life. Though there will always be a focus from me on my small group of trustworthy friends. The group that I can say pretty much anything to and feel like my words are guarded and will be expectant of my dark humor and satirical comments. The ones that will volunteer instead of you having to ask and would visit you in the hospital if you were injured, something the fly-by-night mass group of friends who start to resemble name-less henchmen from a bad spy movie wouldn't do.
