Are ghost real?

I know that a lot of people think that ghost are not real. And I for the most part I agree to that concept as well. However, when things unexplained happens to you it is really hard to say ghost don't exist. And for that reason we have ghost hunters. However, when ghost hunters go on the search, it usually ends up empty. Why is that? I think people for the most part can say that ghost don't exist but why do strange things happen? For example, chairs flying across the room. Or, reoccurring dreams about a certain unknown person. Most of us might have experience odd situations in our past. And though most of it can be proven with science to be false some cannot. For example, when I was little; maybe around seven, my family lived in a spooky house. We had to live there because that was all we could afford. My parents were told by the land lord that his son's coffin was in the basement. His son past away not so long ago and they bought two coffins. (Why would he do that? How many coffin does a dead person need?) Anyways, when we lived there strange things happen. We would wake up in the two bedroom house and hear noises from the kitchen. We would approach it and no one would be there except the refrigerator would be open. If that wasn't strange enough, on this particular day my parents were out. Only us children were left inside the house. I remember so clearly what happened. My dad walked out of the basement and looked at me and my little brother. He waved as if he wanted us to fallow him and so we did. He walked really fast down the stairs and turned back to look at us. I told my brother to fallow me and we walk down into the basement. However, when we got down into the basement, the door shut on us and everything became pitch black. I felt nerves crawling up my spine and I couldn't move. Luckly enough, my parents came back home at the nick of time. As they opened the basement door, I slowly regain my strength to move. As soon as I did, I cried and ran upstairs with my little brother fallowing me. I told my mom that my dad locked us downstairs. My mom looks at me strangely and told me that they just came back and that it wasn't possible. It was then that I knew what had happen. We didn't stay there for long. We moved out two months after we moved in. Anyways, I thought it was pretty creepy. And because a lot of strange things has happened to me I am beginning to think that maybe ghost are real. What do you guys think? Are ghosts real. Feel free to also add your creepy story I would love to hear it. [Final Blog entry =) ]

Bricking Your Wii will Suck!

Have you ever brick your Wii? If your not a gamer than you're probably not going to know what I'm talking about. For starters, bricking is when you make your wii unplayable or it may lose data and function. You might ask yourself, how. Well, it's simple and surprisingly many people have bricked there wii. There are several ways to brick your wii, but, the most common way is to update your wii with a foreign disk from other regions. There are three regions in total. Pal, Ntsc-j, and Ntsc-E. Our region is Ntsc E. Ntsc is our video mode and E simply stands for English. When you use a different region game, such as a Europe version of Super Smash Bros, and update your wii system with it than you will brick your wii. The update process messes up the firmware of your wii and it will suck really bad. However, there are types of bricks. Anyways, if you don't import games from other countries than you don't have to worry about your wii bricking. Why import games? Well, because there are major licensing issues with many games annually. And because of those issues, one will find that the only way to be able to play them is to import. Anyways, there are two types of bricks. The first is called semi-brick. With this brick, you can still play games it is just that you will never be able to enter wii settings. That is really bad. However, because it is semi, that means it is not as bad; and because it is not as bad, there is a solution. You can probably google for it if you need it. It's called "wii semi-brick fixer." ( original right?) Download that and burn it. Run it and you should be back up and running like new. On the other hand, if you are like me. Than it is hopeless. If your wii is fully brick there is no way to fix this on your own. And since warranty does not cover bricking by your fault, you are out of luck. I am really piss right now because a couple of new games is coming out and I wont be able to play them until I get a new one. As a precaution for everyone who is thinking of buying foreign games. Be sure to update your wii to the latest firmware before you insert the game. Or else it will update and you will end up like me. Sucks but a hard lesson learn. This is the last time I will make that mistake again.

Special Reindeer Ornaments

I've come across an article online a few days ago and I have to say, it's crappy. (literally) In Bloomington, Illinois, at zoo's gift shop, they are selling reindeer poop ornaments. (? Come again?) These little pieces of poop hanging from cheap twisters by a hole, is being sold for five dollars each. Can you imagine making money off poop? This has got to be one of the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard off. (And I thought cricket lollipops were bad) Com on people, we control ninety percent of the animals on earth including ourselves. We use the reindeers as freaks for our own selfish financial needs. The least we could do is give the reindeers a little privacy and not showcase or sell their dung drops. Who would seriously by these except my brother. I can see it now, a poop ornament hanging from our Christmas tree. The next thing you know, little kids will pick the poop off and eat it; thinking that it was cherry or something. Parents, if you are deciding to get these new and hip ornaments, be sure to tell your kids that they are made of poop and not healthy for digestion. I'm pretty sure returns are not available for this product so if you happen to lose your poop, too bad. Darn, I've run out of things to say. But, what can I say, it's poop; something we all try to avoid talking about. In my opinion, I think it's retarded that people actually buy these ornaments. The only reasonable factor for selling these things is to get more customers into their store. They are not really hoping people buy the ornaments. But, usually when people shop, they tend to buy other products. Anyways I thought it was funny and stupid for even having this article on the news. Who cares? They should put up real articles. Articles about families enjoying thanksgiving and showcase special families who donated. We read articles, we should be the ones in them. Oh well, not much I can do about it. Strange is what sells. I feel bad though for people who could of contracted diseases from touching the poop and become seriously ill. Although that might not be such a bad thing because they can then in turn sue for major cash! Not impossible so probable.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 OTW?

If you are a gamer and love 2D fighting games than this news will blow your head off. When I first heard of it, I nearly wet a pants because it was too good to be true. Prior to the success of the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation was gold. The PlayStation was known for its fighting games, mainly the versus series by Capcom. On the PlayStation, Capcom has release "X-Men Vs. Street Fighters", "Marvel Super Heroes", " Marvel Vs. Street Fighters" , and the most famous of all, " Marvel Vs Capcom." The few copies of "Marvel Vs. Capcom" that made it to the US literally becomes rare overnight. ( It goes for over a hundred on Ebay; I was lucky enough to get my hands on one)

Its successor, "Marvel Vs. Capcom 2" did not go unnotice either. With a massive collection of 50+ characters from both, the Marvel universe and Capcom universe, "Marvel Vs. Capcom2" also becomes a legend on the Dreamcast and multiple Arcades. "Marvel Vs. Capcom 2" was later transfer to the PS2 and Xbox. But, something terrible happened. Again, this game too becomes rare because of the limited copies printed. This time however, it was EA and Activision's fault. The two major gaming companies bought up all the licenses from Marvel Studios. Because of licensing issues, Capcom was force to stop the printing of the game and all gamers hopes of a next gen sequel or more copies of the popular game was destroy. Until now.


With the new upcoming release of DC Vs. MC along with all the positive remarks by both gamers and reviewers, Marvel is keeping its head on the ball and is looking for a way to work with Capcom again. They too are aware that the Ps2 release of MVC2 and MVC are major money making games right now on eBay or anywhere including EB Games and Gamespot. ( The games are going for 70+ dollars. Dam! That's more than the official release price for a PSX or a PS2 game. Could you imagine paying eighty bucks for a Playstation game?)

One of the President of Marvel was ask at Comic Con if a sequel to the smash hit MVC2 was ever going to be made. Many gamers worldwide thought that the President was going to say no, but, ironically he said yes. That simple word, "yes", was all it took to make hardcore gamers jump at there TV. ( I know I did :) )The President was also noted saying, " It might come out sooner than you think." Oh, god lets hope he wasn't lying or drunk when he said those words. Capcom was also ask if MVC3 will be possible someday, and they said that they will love to make a Sequel.

So, if both sides agree than what is stopping them from making the game? Is it licensing issues again. No, ESRB was reported seeing an upcoming re-release of the game MVC2 for the Xbox360 and Ps3. From that fact alone, one could conclude that Capcom has won the lincenses back and that is why they are re-releasing the game as an import to the PS3 and Xbox 360.

I would think that MVC3 will release no sooner than the end of 2009. Why? Simply because Capcom has alot of hit games coming out. It will make absolutely no sense for Capcom to compete with itself by releasing MVC3 any time sooner. (Street Fighter Four is coming out, along with TvC and other nex gen fighting games)

If this game, " Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 ", is in the works right now, I would hope they add in more marvel characters. It was nice having Spiderman, Venom, Cable, Cyclops, and Wolverine as playable characters. But, maybe they can add in Carnage from Spiderman and Professor X from X-Men. From the Capcom side, they should add in Zero from Megaman and some of the new characters premiering in SF4 as playable characters.

I really do hope that Capcom and Marvel studios is not lying to us. I cannot stand another release of a crappy Marvel game. Marvel should get there act together and let a true fighting game specialist, Capcom, take there characters and turn them all into something gamers would appreciate. I use to be a really big fan of Spiderman as a game character, but, after the release cycles of horrible Spiderman games I am beginning to detest Spiderman. If MvC3 comes out, I am sure I will love Spiderman again. And we all know Spiderman is the best Marvel superhero. ( At least I think so)

NASA More Stupid Than Ever.

I don't know if a lot of people picked up on this yet but NASA has created something really stupid. And by that I mean really really stupid. Have you ever wonder what your urine taste like? This question is exactly what NASA has wonder about and they manage to spend $250 million dollars on it. The outcome, a recycling device that recycles urine directly and turns it into water. "This is a new device", NASA was reported saying. Actually it's not really new, its no different than what we have now, the waste factories. The only difference is that NASA manages to spend 250 mills on it. Wow, they are stupid.

I Think what NASA was trying to say was, "It is new because you can recycle urine instantly into nutritious water". Still, even if it's recycled, I don't think a lot of people would enjoy drinking pee. What's funny is that NASA gave a test to a group of individuals. (Water and pee water were given to the test subjects) Some reported the pee water to have a weird taste. Some says it taste like iodine. Others couldn't tell the difference because they drink pee water daily.

This new technology, whether we like it or not, is actually serving a purpose. The next space launch by NASA will actually has these devices installed. Going out to space, you only have so many gallons of water. It will eventually run out. But, with this device, Astronauts can have an unlimited supply of water. (lol, this will lower the number of Astronauts for sure)

Anyways, I just thought it was funny to bring up this article. I forgot where I read it but, you can probably find it easily on google or yahoo. After reading my blog or the actually article, how do you feel about it? Is it worth 250 million dollars to drink pee water? If this device was to be sold to individuals in the future, will anyone but it? Eventually, not anytime soon, our water supply will be short. And maybe this device will be our hopes and dreams in the future for survival. But right now, with the abundance of water we have left, I think NASA is stupid for introducing this device. With the economy spiraling downward, the last thing we need is a hot cup of our own urine sample.

There was a rumor not so long ago that NASA might be shutting down. With these kinds of work, I wouldn't be surprised. I always thought NASA was just a Space Launching Corp. But, it seems they serve no purpose in today's society. I don't know, maybe the government will keep them around just for the sake of having them. I actually went to a NASA site in Ohio. Wow, they are stupid. All we did there was play around with walkie talkies. The workers there said it themselves that they don't do anything except goof around. ( I don't think they were lying because they actually do look really stupid) One worker was outside playing around with the lights and the other was inside making funny faces at the other. My friends and I thought, at the time, that they were morons and I think we were correct.

NASA, I hope the best for you. But, if all you do is research crap like the urine recyclers than I think it's better to shut you guys down.

Testosterone Patch?

This weeks article contains information about sex. If you are uncomfortable with the subject than I advise you to not continue on.

Have you ever heard of a Testosterone patch? Yeah neither have I until this morning. This thing called "Testosterone Patch" is suppose to aid women with sex issues, mainly lost of interest. First of all, if you lost your sex drive than something is not right in the first place. It could be that sex is repetitive and unexciting, I don't know. This "Testosterone Patch" is made from male hormones. What? So let me get this straight. If a women uses this patch than they now have hormones of a male. ( So technically, guyz, your're having sex with your wife or girlfriend with male harmones) I think that this idea is stupid and gross.

There are other ways to regain back your sex life. And though I am not Sue, the sex expert, I think that there are better ways to fix this problem then injecting yourself with male hormones.How many women will actually pay and purchase this? If a women loses sex interest than I think it's the males fault or she is cheating. Druging yourself with male harmones is not going to solve the issue. It's like, for example, drinking coffee to make you awake when all you really need is a good night sleep. Coffee might be effective periodically but in the long run you will eventually have to sleep to completely replenish. It could just be a phase for many women. And though I don't know a lot, I do know that this method of male hormone injection should be the last resort.

What ever happened to good old natural way of life? Things that health specialists and scientists are comming up with these days are getting rediculous. Remember when they try to clone sheeps and pigs. That was really dumb and even if it was successful who would want to eat artificial meat? And now there comin up with ways to make the females of society as sexually active as males. If females start taking this drug I think we will have a big problem. Society is as bad as it is already; with the rising rate of divorce. ( My parents are divorce ) Just think what would happen if more divorces occured. With it, I think the number of patients with STDs will also increase.

Listen you people who are deciding to get this patch thingy. Sex is Sacred. Sex is special. Sex is natural. There are causes and effects for everything. If you feel as if you lost your sex life than go in for a check up. Go to counseling if it's an issue between you and your partner. If it's just plan old and boring than order up a couple of adult tapes and change it up a bit. These are some suggestions and though they are not perfect they are better ideas than a " Testosterone Patch ".

Tell me what you guys think, is it a good idea to use this patch?

The line drawn

    There’s this line dividing us. This line drawn across the earth defines the boundaries as it trails. It’s hard to say why the line was drawn up in the first place. I find myself questioning the fact that we allow this line to divide us. We were always told when we were little to accept each other’s differences and yet we seem to do the opposite. If this line is erasable then why don’t we erase it? We greed over our possessions and push others away. We make fun of the nerdy kid in math class for getting the answer correct. We snitch on our co-workers to get them fired. This line is starting to get annoying. 

    The process of growing is strange. When we were kids we have numerous dreams and things we desire to get accomplish. When I play around with my little cousin I've found that to be true. Even though I got him trap in corners he tries and tries to break my guard and to get through. Wether he knows it or not, it was hopeless but I've never heard him say, "I quit". Too often do I hear people around me complain about the issues they have. I believe every problem has an answer and If you work hard to solve that problem than the answer will be apparent. However, sometimes it's not the issues we have but the dreams we lost. I've spoken to many of my friends who has graduated already and nearly all of them say that they have no goals. They are merely doing what there parents want them to do. I find that depressing. Dreams are what makes us humans different from other animals. It's the foundation for all the things we see today. Ever gone to McDonalds? Ok, then you must know that it was the product of someone's dream. ( Now, whether McDonald is helping society or harming it is another story)Those dreams die when we reach our teen years. We focus more on our public image and the popularity status we can gain. We ignore the people we could get along with and hang with the ones we think are cool. We fall under peer pressure easily; if we were kids we have a better chance. We ignore our family and become self-centered. We think that only we have problems and lazy ourselves. Once we reach adulthood, we tend to change ourselves even more. We find the need to change the way we talk and the way we act. We act nice to everyone we see as a way of reminding ourselves we've made it. We act more responsibly by going to work and owing properties. We try to fit into society by starting a family. Our attitudes of life has now completely morph. For the rest of our lives we will never look back to how we were. And if we do, we think of ourselves as a kid as unsuccessful. According to scientists, how we act when we are a kid is how we will act when we grow up. I don't think that's true. The only way to regain your true self is to remember and re-grow into the person you once were; before life hits.

    Was growing up really that bad? Why do we tend to lose our true self in the process of growing up. When we were kids, we can express ourselves without the hesitation. When we were kids, we accomplish so much that maybe our successful years are behind us. We've master the art of friendship, learning to walk, speaking, thinking, and most importantly to never give up. It's apparent that as we get older, we tend to give up easier.

    I think that if we can think back to when we were kids and adore ourselves, than we can regain some of that enthusiasm for life that we had when we were kids. It's true you get wiser as you grow but you also get lost in the details of life and lose parts of whom you once were. If we don't take time to review the choices we make in life and the personality we've develop constantly, than sooner or later we will define ourselves as unknown.

    

Babies Are Dying less?

          The recent studies made by health specialists shows that the number of infants dying are dropping. The rate dropped by two percent this year. However, even though the baby death rate drooped, it's still pretty high. What does this mean? It means that a lot of americans still have poor or no health care. And that is a major problem that should be corrected by the government in this next presidential election.

          Why does health care have to be a privilege only obtainable by the rich. I think health care should be for everyone, health care should be universal. Our neighbors, the canadians have universal health care and they seem to be doing fine. There was a movie that came out no so long ago. It focused on health care systems around the world. The records recorded from the video shows that having universal health care does not make health care less professional or lag in time. The only thing less is the amount of money you pay for visits. We americans pay too much money on health care when we shouldn't need to. The only ones benefiting from our system of health care are the insurance companies. A black male recently died; I don't know his name. His death was preventable but his insurance company found out that he was not covered. Therefore they found it easier to just let him die. (They make more money by letting us die? Thats mess up) 

Even if universal health care lowers the quality of health care. (which it doesn't, its been proven. Ex: Canada) Would you rather receive health care or not receive any because your insurance company tells you that you're not covered.

I think it's great that the deaath rates of infants are decreasing but I think we need to do more for americans. Having universal health care, I think, will benefit everyone. Lets say that universal health care sucks. So? If it doesn't work out then we can go back to the health pirate program we've been having. The thing is if we change I don't think americans will l want to go back.

(This weeks article is kinda different, I hope I didn't offend anyone who hates Universal health care) 

Dying Recognition

Does knowing one is going to die change the way one live its life? If we accept the fact that our body will meet the ground one day, will living be easier? Should we still struggle through life only to find our success a failure in the end? What happens after we die? Questions of this thought should once or more enter the thoughts of everyone. 

Dying is natural, we humans are different than other animals on earth. We have a conscious and we have the understanding of the environment, including the understanding of death. I believe that knowing about death can be beneficial to us humans. With the understanding of death, we use our technologies to prolong life, while other animals are living by fate. We have the ability to drug ourselves until the very last breath. But, can we really say living a long life is living a good one? You can live a long life and it could just be a life that lust for death. Recognizing death will make us live longer but that doesn't mean we will have a good experience living long. 

When you get old, your body becomes fragile, and your senses becomes null. You transition yourself back to the beginning, being like a kid again. Your children, now grown up, sees you as a child and ignores you most of the time. In society you are the nobodies whose clock is ticking. You can't help but to think of death that will relieve you of the pain. If you live this long your friends and others will be long dead and you will soon to join them. This depressing situation does make one gloomy, but knowing about death can also be beneficial. 

To those who see death as a positive thing, then death can improve the attitude needed to live a good life. Knowing about death and realizing the truth, one can live everyday to the fullest, never wasting a minute and only sleeping when necessary. 

No matter what anyone thinks, it's ultimately up to the individual what his input on death is. If you have a positive attitude about life and death then you will probably be better off. Constantly reminding yourself of death can make you insane, drowning yourself in misery when you shouldn't need to. 

I believe death should be search be everyone carefully, define what things in your life makes it worth wild and stick to it. Don't pursue the things that makes others happy, because your happiness is more important than anything else. Basically, care for yourself before you care for others is what I'm trying to say.

So tired of Britney Spears

OMFG! Everyone thought that Britney was on track again after pulling off two awards at the VMAs. It's not over yet people, the paparazzi she was dating claims he has a sex tape of Britney and him, and is willing to give it up for a price. Way to go Britney, now all your fans ( if you have any left ) are going to start crying again. Why did she date that guy in the first place? He's one of those paparazzi that was chasing her around driving her crazy, she should at least take that into consideration. She's probably not going to make front pages anymore though because that actually drive sales down instead of making profits. She's not who she use to be, sad.

Hmm... Who should be President.

Everyone is or should be talking about the election since its getting close. I saw a debate between the candidates on YouTube Yesterday night and I have to say I'm not convince by anyone. I don't think neither of them know what they are talking about. When they are ask questions, both talks on and on about nothing and you don't really get a clear picture of where the candidates stand on the issues. We have McCain, a money thirsty blood sucking Republican, and we have Barack, a rhetoric using democratic who doesn't know as much as he think he does. America, we are to choose one of those to be our President. ( We are Doom! lol just kidding) Yeah, this should be an interesting election. I just hope whoever gets chosen does a better job than Bush.

Is Internet shopping secure?

I personally prefer online shopping as oppose to going to stores. Many people that I have talk to said that they have difficult time shopping online or that they have been cheated. That, has never happen to me and so I can not say I know how it feels. I thought it was just the particular website they bought from, but it seems even Ebay has its cheaters. I told my brother to buy a Zune from Ebay, the item never showed up and the dude selling the item was never found in Ebay's system. Since the payment was paid out already they refuse to give my brother a refund. Is internet shopping safe? Would you ever shop online, or would you rather go retail? Internet shopping has become better, and with services such as Paypal its pretty hard for scammers to rip you off. Still, reports of internet thief is still going on so I guess it depends on the situation. Buy from online, only when the item you're looking for is not found at retailers. Many people, such as myself, take the risk of online shopping for that extra saving and that little excitement when you see the package arrive at your door.

First Post

This is just a test to see if it works. No rhetorical debate here.
