Dagon The Fish God Appreciation day

There are many gods and it may be hard to pick just one from the litter but for me one stands out more then the rest. That god my friends is Dagon the Fish God! He was once the god of the phillistines and the symbol of a fish in human form was really meant to represent  fertility and the vivifying powers of nature and reproduction. The Babylonians had an ancient myth that a being emrged from the Erythean Sea who was part man part fish. Now I don't know about you but that's pretty hard not to believe and if you don't I find your lack of faith disturbing. This truly epic god deserves a day to honour his wonderful being and to be remebered as the greatest god of them all. If anything he truly needs to be remembered because in all honesty who has even heard of Dagon? No one? I thought nought but nevermind that take some time out of your day to think about how this god hasntruly changed the way we look at life today because he definitely has had a very large impact on everyone's life; you all just don't see it yet. ALL HAIL DAGON THE FISH GOD!

EDIT: This just in folks, I've made a shocking discovery about Dagon! It appears as though people are still worshipping him today just under a slightly different name and form. Now just look at the picture below the resemblence is uncanny! I never thought in a million years that this god would return in a new form! But it is seen in this photo that it has been going on for years and no one even knew this. I really hope that this has opened everyone's eyes to the power of Dagon the Fosh God.

My anticipation for Dead Space 2

     I'm a horror fan. I'm just going to get that out of the way before I delve to deeply into this post but yeah I can't get enough horror to save my life. I guess I've always kind of been this way seeing as hwo I've been playing horror games since I was old enough to hold a controller and also the fact that I like most horror movies no matter how bad and/or cheesy they may end up being. Now a lot of you might not like horror or games or might not know what the hell Dead Space 2 is, If any of those things apply to you I would stop reading this post right... about... now! So it was october '08 when I purchased the original Dead Space and at the time I had been dissapointed by the lack of survival horror games that were actually good; Resident Evil had fallen into the depths of an action game and the F.E.A.R. games were just first-person shooters with a few scares here and there but really there has been nothing that had gotten me riled up. Dead Space changed all of this, I can't of a moment of this game that I didn't love and I'd stick by that statement to the death. It felt like such a breath of fresh air getting away from all of the call of dutys and other shit that's churned out every year.

     Now it's 2011 and in a mere 5 days the glorious Dead Space 2 will be shelves for me to get my greddy little hands on. I have been waiting for this moment ever since I witnessed the conclusion of the first game 2 years ago and I can't believe that it's actually here. I have been trying not to watch too much gameplay on it as I want most to come as a surprise to me and as of right now the only extended piece of gameplay that I've seen has been the demo which made me lose any doubts that I possibly had for the game. In all honestly I'm really hoping this game lives up to my expectations and keeps me on my toes throughout while offering some intense action sequences and awesome boss fights. I know most will just mark me off as nerdy and thinking that I have no life for being so excited about a video game and to them I can kindly say, "I don't care." I will get more enjoyment out of playing this game then most will get out of any movie, book, album, anything! Call me crazy, nerdy, obsessed, whatever I'm still gonna love this game and I am still going to die waiting the next five days to play it.

My Thoughts on Graffiti

      I really could care less about graffiti; I don't do it, I don't want to do it and I probably never will do it. With all that said I really don't see what the big about it is. I mean it's just people making a boring old wall or some shitty old overpass into a work of art. I will admit that sometimes graffiti sucks and it's just not to nice to look at but whatever people are just going to have to learn to deal with it because I'm guessing it's not going to go away any time soon. In all seriousness though does this graffiti really affect anyones lives to much? Is it really hurting anyone in any way? No, I didn't think so it just sits there and does nothing. Honestly is anyone reallys going to care if some graffiti showed up on somethig they see every day (i.e. the school)? Probably not, they'll just go on with their lives but for some reason society has depicted this as a terrible act of vandilism.

        Now I haven't really gone anywhere with this and the truth is I'll probably just ramble on for another 20 minutes but who cares its writer's craft, right? Now I think that these vandals could indeed be artists if they really set their mind to it and did actual art instead of their stupid looking graffiti crap and in all reality anyone who does graffiti is just someone who probably couldn't make it in the art world or it's just a cry for attention and a way to go against society. If either of those are the case that's just freakin' sad! Oh you're not getting enough attention from mommy and daddy so you go spray paint some illeligible crap on a wall? Please spare us your attempts to rebel against society and leave everything as it is.

So far I've been fairly nice to the vandals (except for the last few lines of the last paragraph) but I'm about done being nice seeing as how I changed my mind half way through typing this post. In my opinion all these dirty vandals should be round up and executed! It should be a public event too, "Hey everyone, watch us vandalize the sidewalk with their brains!" Ah, that would be the day vandals being used as a from of vandlism it's a sort of ironic poetry we don't get enough in today's society. Now some people may say "But that seems irrational and mean!!" Well you damn babies how bout we climb back up in the womb and do it your precious "civilized" way and use some lethal injections! Does that sound good to you? Well it better because hopefully the future will be different, and not have mercy for stupic f***'s like these "artists" and put them where they belong: rotting in a cell with some guy named White Power Bill who's made them his bitch and intends to do unspeakable acts to them. Well that's my thoughts on these vandals thank you have a good day!!

My Opinions on Writer's Craft

Some of the activities I've found interesting in this class would be the editorials because I just find stuff like that easier to complete on time then let's say a story we come up with completely from scratch.
     The assignments that really bore me and/or drive me nuts are the blog entries you assign us simply because I just really don't like having to think of how to answer certain things and I would much rather come up with my own topics every week.
      As far as blogs go I moderately enjoy them when I get an opportunity to write about something I want to because It gives me a little bit of freedom and allows me to actually enjoy myself when writing.
      Now for the upcoming units... I really don't care for anything coming up except for short stories I suppose and I really wish we would've gotten to do more editorials of some sort because I would really like to get better at writing them.
       I feel I could improve on just about everything there is to improve on I really am not trying very hard at anything in this course and I really need to step up my game here and get my mark up because I already know it's going to be extremely low.
      As for what you could do to make me smile when I'm all old and such, could I possibly get some extra assignments to boost my mark up because I already know that I'm going to have to and I really want to improve how I'm doing in this class and also could I do something other than poetry I know it seems ridiculous but I really don't care for it and I doubt that I'm good at it. Now don't get me wrong I'll do poetry if I have to but i would just prefer not to. That is about all I have to say about the lovely class of writer's craft and to that I say good day.
