Ohai.

No real song in mind yet. I'll just let one come to me as I sit in front of this screen and write out whatever comes to mind. It's sad, really. What my weekends come down to. I don't like to think of myself as an above average student, but when it comes to my homework, I usually stay on top of things so that when the weekend comes, I have all the free time in the world to do whatever it is I want. The sad part is that when the weekend comes... Nothing. I don't ever do much of anything. I try to make plans with my friends, to go out and enjoy ourselves... Usually it ends up in my face. Or it's just that they're too busy and/or already have made plans that can't include me.

You'll have to forgive me right off the bat. I just finished watching Chuggaaconroy's walkthrough of Mother 3. I have to say, it's no wonder why that game was never Americanized and sold here. It couldn't be done. The ending is so emotional and powerful that if they tried to censor out the actual deaths in the game that the plot as a whole would be lost. It wouldn't be the same game if Hinawa didn't die right off in the beginning. It wouldn't be the same if you, as Lucas, were forced into a fight with your brother, Claus, at the end up the game. It wouldn't be the same if, after becoming attached to the characters and the story, you didn't watch Claus come to the realization of what he's become and kill himself to end it all.

I'm sorry. I'm feeling a tad melodramatic tonight. It's a bit of a combination of being alone for so long that my imagination runs wild, along with the fact that the ending of that game was so unexpected and I wasn't exactly prepared for something like that. Especially not from a Nintendo game. But again, I forget the fact that the version I watched isn't an Americanized form of the game, so it's seen as the game developers intended it to be. I kind of wish that we dealt with issues like this the same way that they do over there. The youth in Japan and other cultures like that are much more mature than the youth here in America. They can deal with themes of death and related things in their video games and television shows. While, when brought over to America, we have to censor the hell out of things, almost to the point of them not even being the same game or show anymore.

What else is on my mind? That's what this is looking like it's going to bed. Just a random vent about what's going through the head of Jeff Lipton at this very moment. OoOoOoOo... Maybe not the best idea in the world. No one really cares but me. But I like this way of getting my thoughts out.

I'm about to beat an Asian, I swear. He's made it now to the point where I can't even have friends over anymore. The one time I decide to bring a friend over and the two of us just work on homework in the dorm, he decides to harass and scare her while I leave the room for a few moments to use the restroom. This is just something that boggles my mind. How, in any way, shape, or form, could he possibly think that he was in the right to do what he did? I mean, it wasn't anything terrible by any means, but it was most certainly crossing a social line that everyone is aware exists. Except him, I suppose. My friend is now so creeped out and made to feel nervous by him that she refuses to even come back to my room if he is there. Which just makes me feel uncomfortable to bring anyone into the room anymore. So, while everyone else goes out and has fun or just does their own thing, I'm stuck in my room with him.

All he does is sleep. In fact, he's gone into bed and taken naps a total of four times today. I cannot understand how a person can bring themselves to do that. Don't get me wrong; I love a nap as much as the next guy, but this is just insane. How he has made it here as long as he has is beyond me. The kid seems to lack any idea of American morals, structure, or anything of the sort. I don't like my video games Americanized, but I sure as hell like my Asians to be so. It's a few more months that I have to deal with him, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I mean, he's under a constant eye from all of the RAs and SRs and stuff. He takes a few more faulty steps, and he'll live to regret it.

Sorry, this blog is really getting to the point where I should just stop for the night. My body is drained, and I think it's almost time I call it a night. Hehe... Sad that I'm saying that as a college student and it's only quarter till ten. None of my friends have texted me back since the start of this blog, which was over an hour ago. Or, the two that did text me back are either with their significant other, or stalking a potential new one. I love being single. -cough- NOT -cough-

Well, no song for this blog either. It's gonna be really boring if you actually read all of this. Well, I guess we'll call it wraps for this one.

Damn it...
Obai.
