Alright, surely I'm not the only one that has noticed this, but I'm almost certain the same crap that has been on the boards in the past has been reincarnated. Only thing that is really different is it seems a new generation of young folk have appeared to fill the ranks of the ignorant who either wised up and stepped into line, or finally trolled themselves into that gentle rest.

Anyway, I'm still lurking around, but I don't think I'll be saying much, as I don't feel like arguing the same points in an endless cycle of futility, as the ones who are ignorant won't change their stances, regardless of the evidence, and the ones that have the evidence don't need convincing. Essentially, I just don't see the need to preach to the choir anymore... I may be called to action every once in a while, but I think my posting days for the time being, are over. Granted if something comes up in Heathenry I'll be sure to participate if I have something relevant to add, and assuming someone will tell me that something has occurred.

As for recent events... There are so many, I just don't know where to begin, I'm not even sure if everything has played out yet so I think I'll continue my watch..

So, how was everyone's holiday and such?

I'm operational again, nothing is sadder than a commander without a command post.

Anyway, I'm back, though I'm more tired than ever. Never a break, but I think I can start actually talking of things again.

Update

Amazing, didn't realize the moron Olympics was in full swing today, I just had to ban a spamming user, and their comments as they were in violation of Newgrounds policies. I go away for a few days and this is what I have to deal with? I think I should have remained MIA.

Something interesting, I have looked at it yet but I intend to play with it a bit.

Kongregate Labs.

I'll add more, busy right now...

Imperator, take your clout and stuff it! I hate being the god of the people, the pay is bad, the hours are worse and none of the lovely young ladies wish to cuddle due to either having boyfriends already or I'm stuck in the friend zone. Now I have to cuddle my warm laundry again.

Anyway, pitiful existence aside, let us not forget the trouble of Seven. Once again it seems she has disabled comment, so I ask that people please don't bother her too much since I would imagine she has a good reason for closing them.

Finally, after drowning my sorrows in maple syrup and zombie films I think I'm finally back to my old self almost so it is high time someone kicked my self-esteem once more before it gets the wise idea it exists.

Update:

Add to this list the fact that roommates are now fighting and seem to be under the impression that I am on their side. They seem to have forgotten the first thing I said, that being that the only side that I take is my side. I even went so far as to write a letter attacking all offending parties and they still think I am on good terms with their side. Note that "their side" refers to multiple, in this case two factions, sides.

Update II, Revenge of the Update:

Well, more news from the front, all hell has broken loose and I'm the only one not catching any flak. I figure if keep my head down, my mouth shut, and my helmet on I just might make it through this battle. Also, on the side of good news, I've recieved word that supplies from HQ are enroute and will arrive in a weeks time, as well as reinforcements for my position. Air and artillery support is limited but I have a few rounds left in the mortars to keep the lines clear of flanking troops.

</WWII flashback>

Anyway, in all seriousness that report above is accurate. Just replace flanking troops with roommates and supplies from HQ with the university finally acknowledging a loan after I talked with their chief loan officer and made it clear that if I didn't get my money I was going to have her audited for her practices. Seems to have moved her right along... Almost forgot mortars, that signifies my ability to point out the flaws in statements of their actions that I am being accused of, granted none have occured but one can never be too careful in these things...

Aright, another update:

Seven is accepting comments again, at least she was when I last checked.

Since dwelling in the past will change nothing, I have to step forward and do what I can to erase that memory from me and to make sure nothing occurs in that fashion ever again. In order to do that, I have to return to my normal behaviors, and so I will do so now.

Here are some of the things that cheer me up, and so I thought I would share them. Worse case scenario you assume I'm crazy, granted that is a fairly safe starting point when dealing with me.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - A.K.A. As So Long Mr. Despair. I've attatched the first part of the first episode so that you guys can enjoy it. If you want to get ahold of some very good subs I'll point you in the right direction if you PM me since I don't wish to worry about stepping on anyones toes.

For those of you too lazy to watch, the main character is constantly attempting to end himself, or is depressed about some aspect of the world. His best quote, which he says whenever he is nearly killed in his own suicide attempts is, "What if I had died?!"

Next, I enjoy the movies Lets Go to Prison which I lack a decent link for, but the idea is that a regularly convicted man attempts to get vengeance on the judge that keeps putting him in, but finding he is dead, decides to take it out on the guys son. It is a comedy, don't worry about it being full of gore or some such nonsense.

Then there are the various zombie movies, these include, but are not limited to the following:
G.P.506 - assuming I can get the subs to work... I hate .sub files...

Shaun of the Dead - Comedy/romance with undead, how does it get any better?

Special Dead - Zombies spawned from disabled and mentally handicapped folk. Note, they are acting, none of them are in fact "special".

Flight of the Living Dead - Not even close to being a favorite, but I like the idea. I don't like the way they attempted to explain the cause of the dead though, and I hate fast zombies. Breaks all the rules if the dead can run.

Dawn of the Dead - Not the remake with those fast zombies, that is a sin as far as zombie movies are concerned in my dark book, but the original one with poorly done special effects and all. Granted for when it was made, it was well done alright, perhaps even well but I lack a working knowledge of decent movies for that time.

Day of the Dead - Zombies, army base, bunch of idiots, what could go wrong?

Night of the Living Dead - Black and white zombie based goodness, not the remake.

Return of the Living Dead II - I still have not figured out why they named it II after noting it was the return, kind of redundant, but that is me.

Anyway, I have more, but they are not worth mentioning as I have them merely to say that I have a small collection of zombie films, 13 as of right now.

Well, I think that list covers most of the things I do to keep happy. The list would contain a lot more anime such as Eat Man (Not Eat Man 98 which is the remake and annoying...), Shigofumi, Tegen Toppa Gurren-Lagann, Pumpkin Scissors, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Utawarerumono, and Battle Programmer SHIRASE but I lack enough will power to look up clips for each, and most people will not admit to being fans of anime, granted some of the somehow more popular things have really managed to rightly cause it for those shows, a lot of people still seem to be under the impression that all anime happens to be the same.

Anyway, I think I'm done for the moment and so I'll take a break for now.

Oh yes, and Imperator, I plan on answering, I really do but programming is killing me and I need to spend more time on it, especially since the midterm came out and is worth 20% of the entire grade. I'll answer by Saturday morning, 6:00 a.m. U.S. Central, even if it kills someone, not me.

Also, if you guys would, I ask that you give your ideas of what to do to enjoy ones own company.

I believe I've endured the single most painful experience of my life to date. A friend whom I care for like my own family has permanently dismissed me from her presence due to my poor behavior at the news of my grandmothers death.

It has been nearly two months since the incident occured where she mistook my words for those of love and shunned me, and today I asked for her forgiveness and the chance to regain some of my honor by rebuilding the friendship we once had only to be dismissed once more. It seems the pain I've caused her is too great to be forgiven, and my only regret in the matter is that I could not carry the pain she now endures due to my brief return, and the pain she endured when she dismissed me initially. Never in all my days have I wished more for the ability to forget something so readily only to be denied relief by my own guilt on the matter.

My hope for her is that she forgets me, that I had returned, and that I ever knew her so that she may never endure the pain of my memory again. For myself, that I will have the mental fortitude to endure the pain of someones death, and not allow my grief to affect those around me in such a fashion ever again.

I feel sick to my stomach...

Please, tell me I'm not the only one dragging right now. I just can't seem to get my rest in, case and point, I feel almost compelled to place down this accursed thing describing how tired I am.

Seems everyone as of late, needs something, and everyone seems to think that I have something to give. Granted, I'm flattered that they think of me as a beacon of stability and ability, but at the same time, it saddens and angers me that they can't seem to solve their own issues.

I've been called upon to help repair a concrete wall, and in the process my hands get severely damaged thanks to the material used since it seems it had lye in it. A guy living within my home came up short for his portion, so I cover him on the premise that he was to repay me at the end of the month, then come to find out that he used the funding to purchase for himself a terrabyte external harddrive. A young lady within my statistics class can't seem to grasp some of the equations, so she calls me up at one in the morning on the day of a test for that very class to help her get it, as she did when she was taking trig and I was taking Calc. The list can go on, and this is all within this month alone, and it is only roughly half over.

I acknowledge that people have issues, and that they occasionally require help, but it seems to me that an overwhelming majority of the people around me are either idiots, slackers, or simply lazy. I don't mind helping out with the statistics one so much with the exception of the fact that it was one in the morning and I had a class at eight.

If I have to deal with too much more of this fun, I think I'm going to simply wear down entirely. Even my weekends are no longer peaceful as they should be.

Anyway, my rant is done.

I'm rather bored, and so to copensate while I study since courses have began once more, I want to know your a wish you may have, it may be good, it may be bad, it may be highly suggestive, and so long as it doesn't break any of the rules and regulations set down for such things I don't care.

Now then, to be fair, I'll post a wish of my own since it would be rude of me to ask that of others and not myself.

My wish is a rather simple one, and one that I'm sure most can relate to. I simply wish to share my time with a young lady after I graduate whose company I enjoy, and who will enjoy my company. That isn't to say 24/7, but on a regular and reasonable basis. You may scoff at it, but considering how many people murder their significant other, or attempt to, my wish is a reasonable one. Even if it isn't I don't really care since it is my wish, and not yours.

Anyway, don't feel shy, I'm not here to judge. I don't get paid enough to, and I hope I never will be.

Is it just me or are the politics forums becomming increasingly troll filled? Every day I feel less and less compelled to do my daily reading and keep up with everyones arguements, and what little will I had to post is diminished as well. True, one could argue that since I am a ghost on the forums for posting to begin with that perhaps it is just my perception on the matter, but many of the topics that I used to enjoy are now dominated by people such as Pox and LazyDrunk bickering.

If it isn't those two going at it like a married couple, then Cellar or Mez ranting about how the liberals somehow did something, or caused something, and that Fox news is the alpha and omega of news programs. Am I the only one who cares, or notices?

This isn't to say that I've abandoned my lurking, to the contrary, I still do it quite often, but it just isn't as enjoyable anymore. What I wouldn't give for the ability to purge these fools who are too blind to concede the possibility of their stances being wrong.

I have to ask this, as I can't seem to see the answer myself. I said one evening to a young lady whom I was working on a project with as we parted, "Please enjoy your evening" and the response I got was as follows, "That's a little perverted." Now then, being myself, I'm always curious as to what others are thinking so I ask the most natural of questions, "What is?" and so I got the response "Asking me to enjoy my evening."

My question is this. When did asking someone to enjoy their evening become perverted? She isn't the only person to say this to me as I bid them farewell in the same manner, if she was, I would merely dismiss it as a joke or something. Did I miss a memo or something? I can't see it, it is completely beyond me, and it isn't like I said it in a rather suggestive tone otherwise I would simply dismiss it as the proper response.

If someone can explain to me, in a reasonable fashion, how saying "Please enjoy your evening" is perverted I would be eternally grateful. The only thing I can come up with is that the young lady in question had a dirty mind to begin with.

+100 bonus points if you happen to be a young lady who can explain this.
