Re: FML and GMH

I know from personal experience that bitching about my life on the Internet can be therapeutic. It's a cathartic release to get all that garbage out. However, I feel like sites like FML take it too far. Yeah, it's good to get that stuff out, but there comes a certain point where that stuff just isn't fun to read anymore, especially for depressive types like me. I mean, I'm pretty miserable in my own life. I can sometimes derive some sick pleasure from the misery of others, but I can only read so much of other people's suffering before the sympathy kicks in and I can't enjoy it anymore.

So, I recently discovered GMH. It's like FML, but instead of bad experiences, it's a collection of things that 'give me hope'. It's a sweet idea, and corny as it sounds, reading just a few off the front page each day can be really uplifting. For a guy like me who had lost almost all faith in humanity, these kinds of things really warm my heart.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share that. If you're a cynical prick who enjoys hearing about others' pain, give FML a try. If you still have a shred of humanity in you, I'd suggest reading some GMH. If both of those sound like you, well, you're not alone. Bookmark them both just in case.

Re: LOST

I still had a few questions after the finale. Apparently I'm not alone.

Today, May 20th

Someone had the audacity to create a holiday called Everybody Draw Mohammed Day. The idea is to show defiance against the threats of religious fanatics by publicly breaking that doctrine that says you're not supposed to depict the prophet Mohammed in any way. This is obviously an emotionally-charged issue, and I want no part in the drama that would ensue from such actions.

On an unrelated note, I recently started drawing again. I have to practice for an art contest on TinierMe. I started off with a simple doodle, which you can see below:



Now, I know what you're thinking: this isn't a very good drawing of Santa Claus. I know, but it's my first try, so I think that's pretty good all things considered. I still want some more opinions on my drawing abilities as they are now, so I'm going to post the image to Facebook as well, and I encourage my readers to share it with anyone you'd like.

That's about it for now. Take care, my dear readers. Blessings and peace be upon you.

Re: The Marmaduke Movie

I can't begin to express how much I hate Hollywood right now. I can't find an outlet for my writing, but a fucking Sunday paper comic strip gets a live-action movie? Seriously, just put a bullet in my head now, so I don't have to keep watching the movie people rape the collective consciousness of America.

Re: Nickelback

I don't think I'll ever understand why people hate Nickelback so much. What, is it the creative lyrics? The sweet guitar riffs? Maybe they just think Chad Kroeger (lead singer) looks like a douche. Whatever the reason, it's ridiculous. Anyone who's really listened to a decent amount of their stuff knows Nickelback is a talented band, even if they are a little too commercial.

If you're a fan, please comment. I'm sick of feeling all alone out here.

CS: Hungary vs. Norway

So, this Z-day event my club was putting on happened today. It was supposed to just be a game of zombies vs. humans, but since everyone wanted to use a gun, we ended up doing a few rounds with all humans. Of course, we needed to come up with something for the H's and Z's on our tags to stand for. So, the H's became Hungary, and the Z's turned on their side to make an N became Norway.

Yes, Hungary vs. Norway. Least likely war, and best scenario ever for a new squad-based shooter.

Earth Day: A Rant

(Copied over from my TinierMe diary)

I'm not sure why this day is special. I mean, if you really care about the earth, you'll have been recycling and saving energy and stuff all year, not just today. Same goes for that earth hour thing where everyone's supposed to turn off their electronics for an hour. Hell, I turn off everything I own whenever I'm not in the room. Is that really so hard to do?

Whatever, I'm just saying I think the point of Earth Day is silly. If you only do good things for the Earth because it's Earth day, you're a hypocrite. It's just like only being nice to people because it's Christmas, or only playing with dangerous fireworks because it's the 4th of July. And Halloween is the same. Like Lewis Black said, we don't need a holiday to dress in funny costumes. We're adults now. If you wake up one morning and decide you want to be Batman, go for it. Who's gonna stop you?

I guess what I'm saying is, don't wait for an excuse like a holiday to do things. If you want to help the Earth, do it. If you want to talk like a pirate, do that too. It's your life. Make the most of it.

Okay, now that's off my chest, I'd like to point out that I've found another outlet for my pointless ramblings. Most of that now goes on in my TinierMe diary. If you'd like to read it, you can do so here. (Sadly, you have to be logged in to see it, so I'll still transfer the good ones over here as well)

Hey

This is the part where most people would apologize for not posting more often. But you know what? Fuck that. Fuck you readers, with your sense of internet entitlement. I've had a lot of classwork to do lately, I've been driving back and forth between Oswego and Burnt Hills almost every weekend, I'm still trying to run a paranormal club here, and besides all that, I really haven't had anything worthwhile to write about.

Okay, I will say this: I bought a domain name for this site. Try visiting http://danmayerisgodblog.com to see if it's working yet. I doubt I'll renew it after this year since no one reads this anyway, but if people like having a slightly easier way to get here, then maybe I'll shell out for it again next year.

Also, I've started making a little progress with a certain project I've been working on. Not much, but it's something. I'm hoping I'll have it off to a decent start once this semester is over. In the meantime, here's an awesome cat:

Re: Charles Manson

I concur fully.

Is Neil leaving Crue?

I'm not sure what to say about this. Some of you may know I'm a big fan of Motley Crue. However, that doesn't predispose me toward liking Vince Neil. In fact, this new single of his has me scratching my head. I mean, it's not exactly bad, but... I don't know, it's not exactly great either.



Anyway, on the off chance you like the song (or it gets removed from youtube) you can download the song and video right off of Vince's website:

Re: Tautology Club

Well, it's an idea.

Not the stupidest thing ever...

Hell, I found it amusing.

You Can Ask Me Anything

Yes, I have one of these things now. So go ahead, ask me a question. As you can see from my profile, I never ignore one. Ever. So go ahead, ask something totally outrageous. Maybe if we're lucky my account will be banned and I'll never use that gimmicky fad website again.

Or not. Whatever, just ask me something.

To All Blog Comment Spammers

Stop commenting on my blog. I'm getting really tired of having to delete your shit day after day. I opened this blog to anonymous comments because I wanted to be inviting to the random wanderer, but if this shit continues I may have to disable commenting for anonymous users, if not disable comments altogether. I don't want that to happen, but I'm sick of having to keep deleting your digital garbage all the time.

Besides, what are you hoping to accomplish, anyway? Do you know how few people read this? And they definitely aren't going back and reading the old posts, which are always the posts you comment on for some reason. You're not helping your respective e-businesses by doing this, you're just pissing me off.

So, if you happen to be a spammer and are reading this, for God's sake just grow a brain stem and stop spamming here. Idiots.

I heart this show. I really do.
