Been a while.

So I haven't posted in ages and it's mostly because I am busy with school and damn lazy. But I figure I can get back to and I think I will start using this blog as a way to share my views on the world and attempt to fight the stupidity and ignorance that encroaches on me from all sides on a regular daily basis.

Let's take an example from today.

So there I was at the gym minding my own business and getting done what needs to be done when what should I hear but none other than some dumb stereotypical sorority girl whining about her teacher. Her whining went a little something like this

"So I was in class and like I was totally talking about how you could feel it expand once it inside and I was saying how good it felt. Over the weekend my BF *and yes she made sure to say it loud so everyone would know that some guy was willing to sink this low to get some* and I were 'playing the game' and he asked me how he knew if he was inside....and then my teacher who obviously listening to my story asked me to be quiet. GOD HE IS SUCH A PEDO."

Now how this girl made it college in the first place shocks me, but to not understand first of all that no one wants to know about you and your limp wristed man-child during class or what a pedophile actually is shocks me beyond words.

Losing faith in intelligence daily.........Must restrain fists.

Youtuber of the week

I plan on making this a regular segment on my blog. About once a week I choose a vloger or group of videos to be my Youtubers of the week.

This week the Award goes to SxePhil. His sarcastic tone and tendency towards sardonic/dry wit when it comes to reporting the news puts him at the top of my list. Definitely worth a check.

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger is Better than Your Dad.

Over the past 2 years I have been deeply engrossed in the land of Mid-World and the quest to find the Dark Tower, following along as Roland and his Ka-tet journey through lands both beyond our scope and ones incredibly familiar; all the while leaving behind a trail of death and shell casings.

Stephen King's self proclaimed masterpiece and largest undertaking has been 30 years in the making and was well worth the wait. The over arching story has a very familiar feel to any reader, one man on a quest to save the world, but the settings and characters can be anything but ordinary. Our stories hero goes by the name Roland; simple and to the point, just like the man himself.

Roland lives in a version of our world that has "moved on," all manner of machinery is "dying", paper is more valuable than gold and order is maintained by a group known as Gunslingers; men who have uncanny reflexes and can use any weapon at their disposal (although guns have become a rarity in this world). Roland's quest all begins with the pursuit of "The Man in Black", but eventually expands to a greater field of vision and deeper meaning.

King incorporates ideas and stances from all points of the map, from religion to politics to self-deception and motivation; using Roland and the rest of the cast as launching points for his ideals.

Now I don't want to ruin the book for anyone so I am going to leave it at that; but if you are a fan of Westerns, Sci-Fi, Action-Adventure, Epics or just enjoy reading I highly suggest this series.

On a side note there has recently been a lot of talk about turning this series into a film with the team behind Lost at the helm of the project. It is also rumored that Josh Holloway may star as Roland.
