omg kill me now please

So Matt Maupin was taken hostage by al-Quida (did I spell that correctly) or whatever four years ago. He was on a video reading something and then we never heard about him again. In the first month people were all hopeful that maybe he was still alive, but once four years have passed and he hasn't shown up at all, he's probably dead. That's the logical standpoint, right?

Apparently not.

According to WKRC News, after Maupin's remains were discovered and identified the other day, everyone was downright shocked. Except for me. BECAUSE HE'S BEEN MISSING FOR FOUR GODDAMN YEARS IN A WAR-TORN COUNTRY. However, people keep saying how Maupin's parents were saddened by the loss of your son, but the thing is you shouldn't be all mopey because you should've realized he's been dead for four years. You should be happy because now you can bury him and now he can rest in peace, but no, they need their fifteen minutes of fame by going on the news and being retarded about the entire situation.

Oh, and they got to be in the Opening Day parade. Why? Because their son's been missing during the Iraqi War. So? I want to see every parent of every soldier from Cincinnati who's been killed or gone MIA during this war to be in that goddamn parade because you can't pick and choose your figureheads and who gets to show off their grief. If you're going to support one family, you should support the rest of them equally and not just say, "Oh, well, our condolences go out to the other families, too."

I swear, half the world could suddenly fall over and die and I think we would be a lot better off.

I dun get it

So, I'm browsing through Wikipedia (which I so often do) looking up a movie I might see tonight, so eventually I go to IMDB because I follow every little link I see on Wikipedia. I'm scrolling through IMDB and go to the page for the movie "Cry_Wolf." I remembered the ads for it from a couple years ago and it was supposed to be about a bunch of kids who make up a killer to scare their schoolmates, but then the killer turns out to be real and starts killing them. Right?

No. (Spoilers ahead for this particular movie, fyi.) Apparently, it's all part of the other characters' elaborate plot to scare the new kid and get him sent to jail, but their plan was really part of this one chick's plan to cover up the fact she killed some other girl for having a relationship with a teacher - Bon Jovi, by the way - with whom she was having a relationship (the teacher, not the other girl, obviously). The new kid ends up shooting Bon Jovi in self-defense because he was supposed to be the killer or something, I don't know, but he's sent to jail anyway DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT WAS IN SELF-DEFENSE.

Now, I'm sure if I watched the movie it would make sense because they probably address this odd point, but reading the plot summary on Wikipedia does not help clear it up for me. I mean, really. The rest of them didn't mean to send the new kid to jail, just to get back at him for making them stay on school grounds for the weekend, but they don't feel bad that he's in jail even though he was only defending himself?

Oh, wait, the one chick probably made it look like the guy just shot Bon Jovi and not out of self-defense. That makes sense.

groan

Presentations don't agree with meeeee. Why do I want to be a teacher.

D:

Oh, no one spells anymore...

...Except for me.

It's Sara BAREILLES. Not Borellis or Baraeielles or whatever the hell you want to spell it.

SARABAREILLESSARABAREILLESARABAREILLES.

It might not be pronounced like it should be in French but it's goddamn spelled that way, so spell it correctly.

D:

New challenger approaching...

And out of the darkness comes Shino with his brand new copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl, ready to play.

...Too bad he sucks at it for some ungodly reason. Slyph says Shino will get used to the change between Melee and Brawl, but who knows. WHO KNOWS.

I've decided that Pokemon, similar to smoking, is an unhealthy addiction and people need to stop taking it so seriously. BUT I CAN'T STOP PLAYING. Damn you, you little pocket-sized (well, not really) monsters!

And I want to use a Luvdisc to see people's reactions, but it just sucks too much. I can justify some use out of other Pokemon that no one likes, but Luvdisc is just... eh, apparently.
