My randomly created ‘cus I felt like it and was bored blog?

Right, I realise that my last post was written kinda poorly, but looking at the size I can’t really be bothered to edit it so I’ll explain here briefly.

I don’t think you’re stupid for believing in anything like god or heaven. It doesn’t match my logic, but whatever.

What I do think you’re stupid for is following a religion blindly without questioning it and discovering your own take on it, and instead accepting everything said as truth – because it isn’t. Religion is a nice easy way to control the masses, and it evidently isn’t the truth all the time as even the Pope of the Catholic church agrees. They’ve made mistakes in the past too.

However, what the problem was in that brochure. The brochure had given reasonably valid points in describing why god exists and why not all scientists are correct. I say reasonably valid, because most of them I could prove wrong on the spot – but that’s another story. Now, the key argument that was the theme of the entire brochure was basically proving certain people wrong, by saying other people believed in god.

Do you see what’s wrong yet? The whole key point they were relying on was “he’s wrong because this guy says so!” That guy is just as likely to be wrong, you idiot! No seriously, he is! And I can’t take any of the points seriously anymore because of that juvenile argument.

In all honesty, I could have written a better article defending God than those guys did, and I don’t believe in the possibility of God’s existence at all! I saw a possibility for a good argument in what they were saying, the point they could have easily said instead of, “because this other guy says so.” They could have just accepted that point and stated things like the bible isn’t completely fact – which most Christians feel! The argument they could have made out from that isn’t something I personally could have argued with, but no, instead they just insult the reader’s intelligence. So that’s what I was getting at.

Also, the soul thing was a joke. Don’t look too deep into it.

Uncharted's main protagonist Nathan Drake.

So what went on today? Well a mix between debating with myself why the devil wants souls, despite the fact I don’t believe in him or souls; playing Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and completing it; and planning my Burnout Paradise video review. Yup, it’s officially decided what we’re reviewing first on video.

Well the day started off with me playing the final level of Uncharted, so there wasn’t really much for me to do. After completing it all I can say is that it was an awesome game, I’m really looking forward to playing the second one – whenever I can afford it. Hopefully I can afford it while the collector’s edition one is still around!!!

Although I’m not one for believing in soul and I think the whole “heart and soul” crap sounds stupid as hell, I have to say that Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune contains alot of it, which felt nice considering the other game I was playing – Fallout 3 – which seemed to have lacked it at this stage. That being said, the developers were allowed to let loose their imagination for the DLC, so I’m looking forward to trying more of that…

So yeah – some shameless self plugging coming up – view Spoony Bard Reviews for my actual full review of Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, the review due by the end of the week. I’ll post here then, but have a look at my other reviews too!

Right, so what’s this about debating with myself again? Well…

Yeah, that coursework for databases that I had to rewrite? I can’t do it. I could have easily finished it on Friday but instead I didn’t simply because I already had done a perfect version. I can’t do it anymore!

No seriously, I tried but I can’t concentrate. I know I have a problem with concentrating on boring stuff, but seriously, this is hell. What bothers me is I had it ready on time, and yet now if I do it I probably wouldn’t get a pass for it because it’s too late! It’s my own fault for being careless and not saving every time I write a character, I guess.

So yeah, I’ve tried but I can’t do it anymore. I get it. I’ll just wait until January when I have to sit a second exam and do the coursework again – maybe by that point I’ll feel better or something, I don’t know. But yes, now you know why I have failed to post much lately, because I’ve been trying and failing to do the coursework because I can’t be assed. Awesome.

And for those who don’t get it, the title refers to “I can’t do it,” like if I were to try to play an awful game but can’t handle it or I tried to drink milk. I can easily do the work, it’s just that I don’t want to, which is preventing me from doing it.

Seriously, seriously infuriated. Alright, so it was my fault for not pressing Ctrl+S every fifteen minutes, but who the hell thinks about that when they’re on a roll?!

I’m currently in a silent rage. A very bad one. If it weren’t for the fact I managed to restrain myself because I was in university, I would have already smashed the computer monitor in and continued to pummel into it.

That eight hour database coursework? Yeah, I was a paragraph or two away from finishing it. Check the time of this post. You guessed it, almost three hours after I started! I was actually capable of besting the “average student’s time” proving that I am by far above average – by a long shot.

So what actually happened? Well, while I was typing up the last couple of paragraphs after all that hellishly boring and frustratingly easy work the plug of the computer fell out the back. I didn’t expect that one, not at all. The really annoying thing is that as soon as it fell out, it plugged itself back in. Yes, it literally fell out enough to lose power, then connect itself enough to restore power.

I lost all of the word data which contained all of the documentation for the coursework, but fortunately the database data was backed up. That isn’t that big of a deal, you say? Yeah it is, because the database took me half an hour, the documentation took the rest!

Well, I got the deadline extended but now I can’t be assed. At all. I’ll probably do it on Sunday or something. I hate computers, particularly the university’s ones! I can’t wait for the damn upgrade next year!
