Adam died in a retarded manner. Fuck you, Tim Kring, fuck you. You wasted a perfectly good anti-hero. In fact you wasted one of the only well written characters in the show. I hope you choke. Or at least get fired.
So yeah. I'm bitter. Also, add Mercutio and Laertys to my favorite dead characters list. I don't even get a break with Shakespeare-_-
Tomorrow is Halloween.
I'll be taking my mom out to dinner for her birthday the next day, hopefully after recovering from my inevitable hangover. Then I get to go home for the night which is good as I've barely been sleeping here.
I'm just going to plug this now, read my sister's blog if you have the time (which you clearly do if you are reading mine). She's probably a better writer than I am, though I'm a fair bit funnier.

Weird Weekend
For those of you wondering what I was up to Friday night, it was not an extended masturbation session. I had a date. It went well. I don't know where its going right now nor do I know where I want it to go.
The weekend breezed by. Saw a lot of movies. Hated Pride and Glory. The Terminal was decent. Wall-E was somewhere in the middle (sorry pixar fans).
Had a bit of a nervous breakdown sunday. Its been a while since the last one. Like literally the last time this happened was in March when I visited umass and hooked up with a friend from high school (awkwaaaard). I guess I've been getting better at managing it. I just need to get even better than that.
Halloween this weekend. The return of the 3.55 pimp!

I Am Bad Luck
Predictions for Heroes
Adam and Bennett will die.
How do I know this. My favorites always die.
Also
With the reveal of Mr. Petrelli, Adam is pretty expendable. To prove how evil he is, kill the well meaning, likable Adam off.
Bennett wasn't in the future, Claire was pissed at Sylar and Sylar's kid was named after Bennett. With all the drama going on, I think Bennett and Sylar will grow to respect each other but Sylar will unintentionally cause Bennett's death, leading him to feel super guilty.
Ando is already dead. Fuck Hiro. So my big three are screwed. As much as I love Sylar, he's been going downhill since they decided to try to redeem him.
I'm sick of this shit. My favorites die EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME. I'm not even exaggerating:
James Norrington, Obi-Won Kenobi, 355, Jiraya, Gendo Ikari, Nicholas Wolfwood, Spike Speigal, Steve Bushemi in The Big Lebowski, Yami Bakura, Alec Trevelyn, Harry Osborn, Cyclops, Severus Snape, Piccolo, Alex Wilder, The Original Killer, Boromir, Harvey Dent, Rorshach, Bubba (Forest Gump), Tyler Durden, King Leonidas, Jay Gatsby, Agent Smith, Rocco (Boondock Saints)
There are more but this list was getting extensive and I'm pretty tired. How the fuck do I keep picking the losing side?
In a few weeks we'll be able to add Adam and Noah to that list.
Mark my words.

Columbus Day Weekend: Eddie Gets Nostalgic But Doesn't Write About It
Came home for the weekend.
Hung out with Steve, Serge, Solly, Richie and Baker.
Steve may be transferring.
Serge may be the funniest man on the planet.
The next check point is Halloween which is a little under three weeks away. After that, just another few weeks till Thanksgiving. And then winter break.
I had this whole big thing that I wrote here about what I'll remember about Acton as an adult and how scary the concept of "settling down" is to me and how scary it is to think that I may go years in between talking to my closest friends, but I think that's ultimately a kind of pointless thing to go into on a blog. No one wants to read about that and if they do its only to make fun of it. I'm not about to put that kind of personal thing on the internet.
In other news, I played a lot of Brawl today and did not do very well. This could bode poorly for me when certain people come home from college and want to play me. On the off chance you actually read this, I'm looking at you, she-who-put-Ike-in-her-facebook-profile. I don't think I would be able to forgive myself if I lost to the likes of you. And don't even get me started on you, army man. If you can beat me after not touching a wii for 23 weeks, I don't deserve to own one.

Oops, I'm a Racist
Last night, I posted something I wrote a while back on how stupid I find race-based magazines, focusing specifically on something I found called "Realizasian". Said reading can be found here:
http://www.angelfire.com/games5/ehandz/Realizasian.html
The group I posted this on was entitled "Asians Not Brain-Washed By Media". I wanted to get some responses from what I presumed would be like minded people. I was apparently wrong.
I will say this right now, I fucked up.
Badly.
The people on this group are hardcore, borderline hippies. Some immediate responses to it were:
"I will break this down later on, but who exactly has made race a huge deal in our society? I'll give you a hint. Those with the most power and wealth."
Ah, it was the Jews. Got it.
My favorite was from a humorless dick named Gary Huang, who I think is the moderator of the board:
"You seem to just be ignorant of the issues Asian Americans are facing. You see the Master Thread link at the top of the page? I'll paste it here for you:
Master Thread
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2214375888&topic=8703
Read it. If you think Jacky Chan and Jet Li aren't caricatures, Lucy Liu isn't portrayed as a dragon lady 99% of the time in media (or don't know what the term "dragon lady" means), or think the American melting pot society is a good thing, you need to read the posts in that link."
The guy pretty blatantly ignored what I wrote. Or skimmed over it, saw I was talking about Lucy Liu, Jet Li and the American Melting Pot, didn't bother reading my points that explained why I don't think Asians are treated badly in the media, and went off on an irate, defensive tangent. I read some of the master thread and frankly was offended by how incredibly trivial some of the topics were. For instance:
Why Do Manga and Anime Characters Look the Way They Do? (white worship)

Essay: 'Why the Joy Luck Club Sucks'
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2214375888&topic=3192
I did not realize that these were the big issues affecting asian americans... Manga, the Joy Luck Club, and asian chicks dating white guys...
There were others, but these were the ones that stood out to me. I noticed that there were several articles about White men dating Asian Women but none about Asian Men dating White women. Because you know, that totally never happens.
Realizing that I wouldn't be able to win an argument against these hypocrites, I left the group.
Minutes later, I got this private message:
"I'm going to tell you this once and once only. If you make another post attacking this group or make another racist thread before having read the master threads, you will be banned. Your lack of positive contributions and ignorant, bigoted posts are unacceptable."
To which I promptly responded:
"I left the group on my own, thanks, Hitler."
I learned my lesson. No matter what the color, gender or age, activists are idiots.

The Pretender
In retrospect, In Search of Emo's was a really terrible idea for a movie. The main reason being that for all my talk about putting them in camps where they will be forced to do manuel labor until death, I really could care less about them. When we decided to actually shoot it, I didn't think I'd be able to be even remotely amusing. As it turns out, I'm pretty good at pretending to hate things. I have claimed on multiple occasions to hate the following:
-Emos
-Ninjas
-Hipsters
-Black People
-Jews
-Poor People
-Women
-Asian Men
-Liberals
The list goes on. How many of these do I actually hate? None of them. I really could care less about any of them. I'll tell you what I really do hate though. Its a type of person that's hard to pinpoint because to actually fully identify them, you need to have some sort of social contact. I like to refer to this person as The Pretender.
I have an honest dislike for this kind of person simply because they are ingenuine, arrogant pieces of shit. The Pretender will constantly overestimate them self. Typically, they are bad at sports, but that's okay because "sports are for losers and after high school is over, they don't matter". Statements like this are common for them. They never apologize and never take responsibility for their own faults. If they do, they will minimize it and blame someone else for the majority. Parents are often a major scapegoat.
The Pretender will 95 percent of the time have a blog. Unlike this one, it is updated on a regular basis, even if the person has nothing interesting or worthwhile to say. On truly slow days they will simply post of picture or video of something they find amusing or ironic.
They will almost always have ridiculously obscure taste in music and movies because liking things that are mainstream would "ruin their individuality".
Okay, I don't think I need to describe them any more. I've known plenty of people like this over the years. Hell, we're all probably guilty of it at one point. When we try to impress someone by listing Sufian Stevens as a favorite singer. Its when someone gets to consumed with being different or more ironic than everyone else that I want to strangle them with their own intestines.
It is almost 4 am. I am going to sleep now.
