Lolwut: Riddle time?

I am used to show admirality, i can be spoken a thousand different ways. I am in no exclusive language, but rarely my currency is accepted willingly. What am i?

Think about it.

Did you come to compliment? When you think about it, it is a complete paradox in itself. When in our development do we inherit such strange behavior with a basic, yet underthought, concept in our society.

If you don't understand what i am refering too, let me explain. When we are raised there are always those concepts of being a 'good' person. Always be modest, do the right thing, never cheat or steal, etc. When you give someone a compliment it conflicts with two of those fundimentals and leads to a general akwardness in a conversation no matter how light the topic.

When you give a compliment, how often do you in return, get a well recieved response? Majority of the time people hate compliments, why? It is a two edged sword that very few choose to be on the other end of. There is the route most take of not accepting them, in turn, leaving an akward window of conversation. Then there are those who embrace it with open arms, which often leaves off an impression of self centeredness.

The complete flux of the concept is that a compliment is NEVER a bad thing, infact, by definition it can't be. No matter how much of a ego-fiend a person may be, a compliment can still make them seem like the modest person in the world.

Maybe this is just me way overthinking things, but it alteast can lead to an investment to your time. Any way you slice it, there are few things one can openly say that causes such a bizzare reaction. Just saying.

Jams you just can't get out of your head: Chevelle.



Orignal, unorothodox, addictive..... all adjectives to describe the next "new" thing in this music industry. Fads change, people develop different tastes in music; and that once new thing, becomes old news. Chevelle was never one of those groups. Chevelle hit thier peak in the early 2000's but that didn't cause them to change thier style.


Sam Loeffler stated, "We have spent a lot of time making these songs something different from past records without losing the core of our passion. We are a hard rock, melodic band and it's still what drives us as musicians." Words spoken too true, the band has that essence to constantly be changing without losing thier core, and still make absolutely mind blowing music.

Thier unique and deep lyrics have a distinct, never rhyming, melody that you can't refuse to appriciate.

If you havn't heard songs by these guys outside the radio, you should check them out.

I'm bored, let's review: Antibodies.

I hope everyone had a good Easter, i know mine went pretty well, lots to eat.
I havn't had a chance to blog this weekend so hopefully i can redeem myself with a movie review.

Without further ado, i present to you my review of Antibodies:




Now, before i get into too much detail, i would like to point out that this movie is in German. There are subtitles avialable, even on Netflix, but if you can't stand subtitles i could totally relate. Luckily, i know some decent German i was able to roughly follow along.


Directed by Christian Alvart (ironicily the protagonist's sons first name). Produced by Theo Baltz and Boris Schonfelder. This German horror film had some unique twists to it, but in general, fell short to break away from any other similiar gore movie.

Getting past the German aspect of this movie, right from the start you start you feel weary as the killer of 14 children gets caught inside his home. I have to admit, at the begining i had a slight mix up of some of the characters as scenes and time periods began rolling in. The acting throughout the movie was pretty bad, there were several instances where the actors would say something or make a facial expression that left you asking, "what the hell?". The most annoying thing has to be there were many things left unanswered towards the end, perphaps the producers were afraid of straying away from the main plot.

On a more positive note, the story line was very interesting, could have used a few more twists, but overly well executed. The scenery was amazing, it could suck you into the movie and made you feel as though you were there. I felt the lines choosen, especially the murder, Gabreal, were well thought out and fitting. Too bad the actors did a terrible job of acting upon them.

What more can i say? The movie hand in hand was very, average. Is it worth the 2 hours? If you can't find something better to do, then probably. If you do so choose to watch the movie, remember:

If you have Netflix or a friend that has it, you can stream this movie instantly and no hassle, as the same with most the movies i review on this blog, there is nothing to lose even if i say it is terrible!

My ratings:

Pro: Solid and consistant story line.

Con: Bad acting/ build up.

My decision: I'll be nice 6/10

This Bothers Me: Flaws of IMs.

"Change is the only constant" Words that speak too true for the technological world. There are always strives to improve lives, whether it be to find a cure for an infectious disease or to just make checking email less of a hassle.

There is one thing i noticed though, instant messaging has become an epidemic. In theory, the concept was ment to support easier communication for people coast to coast, land mass to land mass. In many ways, this idea has been innovation and has obviously been adopted by many big names such as AOL, Yahoo, MSN and even some of the more popular social networks.

This topic however, relates to the darker side of Instant Messeges. Just as much as it has made conversations versatile, it has hindered our progression as mankind to be articulate.

How could that be possible? Just think about it. I am going to display a list of things that IMs have not helped, but hindered, in a more educated world:

1)Grammar: Probably the most evident and deserving of the number one spot. People just don't have the spelling or grammatical skills that we had when we actually cared how intelligent we sounded.

2) Sentence structure: If someone was IMing you with proper sentence structure, it would more then likely be considered weird.

3) No sense of tone in writing: I may be going out on a limb on this one but sometimes i don't know what the hell people are trying to imply with trivial statements.

4) Signing off mid-conversation: I see this mostly with facebook, i mean honestly, if you sign off because you forgot that you were talking to someone 20 seconds ago. I would get the impression that you have the tension span of an 8 year old.

5) Abbreviations: Lol, omg, wtf, go 2 the store. You can name it. Sometimes you see people that type with more abbreviations then words and you can barely understand what they are saying.

These are some of the things that us, as a human race, have recended our capability to write with. I see people with college educations miss-spelling the most simple things, it astonishes me.

Now, this has been a grim post in many senses so i figured i'd post something i made last night to lighten the mood:

This pretty much sums up what this entire post has been about. A picture is worth a thousand words.



Until next time, I heard your chick has [Double D]'s.
