People who Wear Glasses Are Sexy. End of Story.

Let me start off with a sort of apology for being absent for, what, three days? I've been super busy these past days--mostly with work.

 Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and be sure to work all that turkey out! Hope you all had a (safe) Black Friday frenzy! Seriously though, how do people have the time to stand in line all night outside of a Best Buy? I barely have enough time to sit back and write, let alone camp out in a parking lot. Anyway, my Thanksgiving consisted of the slowest, dead-est, 6 hour shift at work, yet it was still a hell of a great night. Hanging out with a handful of fellow coworkers, having a good time, talking, especially since I spent most of my time with that one special friend I mentioned a while back that I should probably write more about in the future. Long story short, I may have missed out on a plump dinner with my family, but the night was still fun with my second family at work. Oh, and before I delve into the conversation, I recommend all of you reading this to start listening to the band Sick Puppies. If rock isn't your thing, just give this band a chance and I promise you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately the band has been going through some drama recently--apparently their lead singer, Shimon Moore (yes, that's his real name), has left and has resorted to antagonizing his other two ex-fellow band members, Emma and Mark (yay!), sparking some instability between the trio. But all that aside, ya'll should give this band a check-out. And if you don't like them, sue me. Now, let's get this thing started. Oh and just a heads up, for the first half of the post I will embrace my nerdy side, so if you're allergic to us, you can just skip to the third section.

John Boyega in a Trooper Outfit? Hells Yes!
First of all...OMG the trailer for the new Star Wars film has got me even more pumped up and excited for 2015! First Jurassic World now SW? Oh hell to the yes. Mark my words, Universal and LucasArts are working together...they are working behind the scenes to deliver the most amazing movie experience ever for 2015 that will put all other upcoming films to shame!

Now, I'm not gonna jump on the bandwagon and act like I've been a HUGE fan of the saga from Day 1. Indeed, I've only gotten into it towards the end of last year. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the movies the first time I watched them, 'cause I enjoyed the hell out of them. Yes, even the prequels. To Hell with those who complain that they "suck." I see where your arguments come from, and I acknowledge them, but still the prequels were good. End of story. Anyway, I'm sure we're all glad to see the return of practical effects instead of the CG overload that the prequels admittedly abused of. A combination of both CG and practical effects never did the originals any harm, so the upcoming sequels better rock that. And dear God, if Disney makes the characters sing and dance, I have no faith left in humanity, period. And HO-LY CRAP I am desperate to find out more about this guy here:

A lightsaber with a laser hilt? Oh heeelllllsss to the YES! This definitely shows promise. But perhaps the best move LucasArts will make is getting rid of Jar-Jar Binks. Like forever. As a show of affection to their long-time loyal fans, I say they should kill him off in the sequels. Like have the mystery dark sider here murderlize him and his annoying race. Erase them off the face of the far far away galaxy. 

Gods be Praised this Black Friday!

So as very few people know, I am a HUGE fan of TES V: Skyrim. I wasn't always a fan of The Elder Scrolls myself, but the 2011 Bethesda masterpiece reeled me in like Kate Upton reels in a horny twelve year old kid. Anyway, I probably should've waited till Cyber Monday, but I couldn't. I did all my Black Friday shopping online, and I gotta say I was not disappointed in what I bagged up for myself. I ordered myself a really sexy Skyrim-themed wallet with a chain, and a Daedric Sword letter opener to make opening my checks a lot more EPIC and fun. Take a look-see, fellow nerdists, and revel in the glorious sexiness the Divines have blessed me with.

                                              

I can't decide which one I'm more stoked for! The wallet is damn sexy and awesome, and the collectible will make me look more forward to getting my checks, as opening them will be a lot funner now. This is actually the first time I order any sort of gamer merch online, as I never had the cash to do so in the past. But boy am I enjoying it. So there you have it, my first ever Skyrim merch that I want to share with you all.

The Birth of An Anarchy??

So if you decided to skip my geeky display, you will find safe haven from here on out for this post. So I'm sure you're all very well aware of the controversy surrounding the court's decision in the Ferguson case that sparked violent outrage in the area. Yes, it should be quite obvious that black lives do not matter in this country. First Treyvon, now Michael. Both cases ended in the same way: the murderer gets off scott-free, leaving the suffering families in unspeakable anguish. Yes, it should be quite obvious that the pigs we call our "protectors" can get away with murder. I don't want to sound like all those close-minded, self-appointed, supposed "anarchists" that think they'll change the country just by complaining, but this country really does need a revolution. We need a major change in this corrupt government. The citizens of Ferguson have already risen up in arms and fighting for their rights, and it won't be long before this spreads to other disenfranchised areas. But then again, this is where I also have to draw the line. I get that the people are angry and want to express their disappointment with their government, but the way the Ferguson-ers have gone about doing so is not the way to do it. Is this what MLK Jr's dream has become? Is this the vision he protested and died for? No, it's not. These people want to "honor" Michael Brown's memory and civil rights by lighting shit on fire and breaking windows. I would be completely on board with this if they were merely fighting back at the government, but this is their way of honoring their rights and their fallen brother? This is a big slap and an even bigger "fuck you" to MLK. These people are rendering his death vain and pointless. Think about it, he brought major change in civil rights without lifting a finger, yet he was murdered in cold blood, and by reaping chaos in their home, the people of Ferguson night as well have been the murderers. If ya'll wanna fight the government, have at it I'm all for it, but if you want to honor a slain teen and fight for your rights, put down your Molotov cocktails and turn to Jesus! Just kidding (not a bad idea though), put down your bats and crowbars and raise your voices instead. It worked before, it might work again. Might. As Russell Brand, one of my idols, once flawlessly stated, "The people who say the system works, work for the system."

Closing Tiiiime...

I apologize again for posting this late. You know how it is. Work work work. School school school. Friends and family. I'm lucky I had the day off today to put this thing up. Shout out to my fellow gamers reading this and anyone else who is disappointed with how things work in this broken system. As always thanks to those who took time out of their day to read this, share, comment, etc. Stay safe this holiday, stay up to date, and have a good one everyone. I leave you all with this song, another one of my favorites from Sick Puppies.
