This is a headline from the NYTIMES.
"Plaxico Burress Shoots Himself Accidentally in Thigh."
This is Plaxico Burress of the NY Giants, who has had a tough time getting onto the field this year, because of Injuries and fines and suspensions for bad behavior, well now he gets time off for straight up stupidity... (and don't tell me that that! isn't stupid). More details can be found on just about any website covering sports.
Peace!

Level 7: The Game of Life
I've recently been thinking a lot about video games. Maybe, that's because I've played a little bit recently, and no not in that crazy obsessive everything comes second to the video game, no that was 3 weeks ago.
But I've thought also a little bit about life, and how video games and lives can also have some good analogy material.
And what I've concluded is that I hate level 7. Like it's cool and all, and yeah, I've upgraded a bunch of my powers and can do all this cool new shit, but really, you know, I just want to go back to Level 3. It was way cooler, and easier, everything was fresh and new, I couldn't get through most of the level with eyes closed, and the main badguy was a whole lot easier to kill.
Like right now he's virtually unstoppable, and I keep going back through the level, hoping I can take him out, but he just keeps kicking my ass. I think I'm going to have to think up a new strategy, again, for like the millionth time.
And this is why you shouldn't let your kids play video games... just saying.

Random Quotes #010
Around the lunch couch at Herzog. I had to pick up a call from my brother and as I walked away Joshua Rosenfield looked over to Emily York and said...
"I swear that everything Will says is something that could have been a line from a movie." Emily laughed. A lot. Hmmm...

On a script problem I'm having:
I never solved this. I suck. No I did solve this, but I NEVER SHOWED THIS VISUALLY… Again I reiterate. I suck.

November 2008
I love Novembers.
This November here in Sunny California, we experienced some extreme heat, but now it feels like fall. There is a nice crispness to the air, the kind that makes me want to get a Pumpkin Latte from Starbucks. And with that wind, a reminder of the best of days, and wave of emotions, and the remembrance of something I think is called sweaters. It's really that feeling of positive beginnings, where October feels like the end of things, and September is just the last dredges of Summer. It's November 11th. I have some work, but not a ton of it, I get the chance to work on some of my own things, and also take it easy. I've been going to bed at a reasonable time and waking up early with a clear head for doing things. And that is awesome.

Election '08: 024 - Side Note
I know I said my last blog would be my last election blog, but my Brother would like you to know that after he said that he was tired of all the news outlets going on about how this was a good day for African Americans, he said that this was a Good Day for All Americans, for change, and the direction of America.
Hell yeah.
Willis out.
Hell yeah.
Willis out.
Election '08: 023
Obama won. Oprah cried.
My brother said that he was tired of hearing how this was a good day for African Americans. He was right. This is a good day for all the halfies.
And this is my last election blog.
Goodnight & Goodluck.

Election '08: 021
On the eve of election night, I thought I should chime in, right in my blog about my thoughts, I mean why have a blog if you don't set pen to paper. Right?
Not so Random Thought: Wouldn't it be nice if Barack Obama won.
Not so Random Thought 2: Is it just me or does Barack seem more like someone you might know then a true blue inspirational politician, kind of like the best teacher you may have ever had in high school? LIke for real, what's up Teach? How's Michelle? Oh She's great. Cool. What kind of knowledge bombs are you going to drop on us today?
I wasn't immediately taken with Barack Obama. I kind of thought, who does this guy think he is? Yes We Can. I wasn't buying it. I wasn't really interested.
4 Year ago I was though. Funny. When I watched the 2004 DNC, I wasn't amazed, shocked, inspired. There were no blue states, no red states, just the United States. Amazing line. Brilliantly delivered. Why the hell wasn't he running for President. Here was passion. Here was photogenic. And then I found out he had almost no experience and was like oh, okay, well then I guess 2008.
But something happened between 2004 and 2008, I got tired of his message, I was like whatever, you're not saying anything. Yes We Can, do what? What can we do? And I decided I liked Hilary better. After a month of being Pro-Hilary, I went back to being Pro-Obama, mostly because, honestly, I just kind of knew he'd have a better chance getting elected. I mean for real, HIlary, well she just rubs people wrong, and really believed she didn't have a chance.
So I jumped onto the Obama Bandwagan, and you know it's not a bad place to be.
I tried to not blog about the election, but then Sarah Palin was nominated and well, I suddenly had all the leftist liberal rage rise up in me, and it needed a release. That woman still infuriates me. Drill, Baby, Drill. It's like the worst of what everyone thinks of America all wrapped into one nice tidy package. You try defending the good people of The U.S. when we nominate a woman like that. I mean, please. And the worst part is, she's not done. No matter how things shake out in the election, this woman will be back. It's like a brand new supervillain in a comic book. You just know she's going to come back to taunt the good guys for years.
And so I started reading, reading bios, and news articles, on beliefs, policies, plans, watched the 3rd debate at 6:00 AM in Hong Kong, and continued blogging, and reading, arguing, defending, listening.
Oh and suddenly the Economy dropped out. Like hard core. And while there are some good things to have happened when that occurred, like the dollar getting stronger in Asia, and my college loan interest rates dropping along with gas prices, the bleak outlook that America is facing worries me. The world outlook worries me. And it worries me, because it's going to get worse. You just know this is the beginning. And people are hurting. Everywhere.
And people are going to give up. Their going to give up on their hopes, their dreams, and their lives. As the dark clouds cover the sky and the mood darkens over the world, people are going to need hope, more so then they need change, and this is not going to come from John McCain; it has to come from Barack Obama. John McCain is ultimately too self serving for today. More obsessed with achieving the job, then doing the job. From everything I've read he's always been like this and he's way too old to change.
But today, you know, I believe in Mr. Obama. And I believe that he may not make the best decisions, and when, if elected, things get worse, people are going to look down on him, and he isn't going to be the most popular man in America, but I will believe that he is doing everything he can for us, and I'm going to be alright with that. Yeah, I think we'll be alright with Barack Obama, eventually.
