Castle Crashers!!!!

This game was introduced to my friends and I by none other than Mr. James Rasley. It is a simple game where all you do is rescue a princess while fighting your way through numerous villians in various locations (very similar to any Mario game). You can choose from one of four knights that each have their own special powers. This game is very simple to play, but is quite challenging and frusterating at times. Castle Crashers shows you that 2d games can still be just as much fun as any other game out there. This game is so simple, but dont let that fool you. This game is addicting as hell.

Thank You for Smoking.

Thank You for Smoking is one of my favorite movies that I have ever seen. I find it interesting that the main character's job is a lobbyist who "spins words" for the tobacco industry. Even though this movie is fairly recent, the ideas in it arent. People thousands of years ago "spun words" in the same ways Nick Naylor did in the movie. The short story that we read was about why Helen shouldnt be blamed for the cause of the Trojan war and even though it was old, it closely resembled what Nick did in Thank You for Smoking. In the movie, he says "If you argue a point well enough you are never wrong." The short story that we read may have been complete BS, but the writer "spun words" the exact same way that Nick did in the movie to make himself seem like he was right. Even though Thank You for Smoking is hilarious and entertaining, it discusses something that people have been doing for thousands of years and will be doing for many years to come.

Winter Break.

This winter break was much needed for me. I spent the majority of it just sitting around with my girlfriend doing nothing all day. I did go ice skating and went to the Cheesecake factory for the first time. It blows that this break is over because it seemed way to fast for me. Now I have to get in "back to school" mode....eff.
