Time for a serious blog for once. A side I normally don't show. I just got done reading a report about how one in seven familes here in the U.S has trouble putting food on the table. (49 million Americans) Considering the rather tough times we're living in, it comes as no surprise. But it made me think. Now don't take this in the wrong way. But for as long as we've been able too, we send tons and tons of food shipments to poor countries around the world to feed people who can't feed themselves. We send medical supplies to these countries, when people here can't afford medical themselves. And so on and so on. While I'm all for helping the world, shouldn't we help our own people first. We make such a big deal about sending aid abroad when we have our own problems here at home. All that money we spend on these life missions and then we don't have any to help our own citizens. Now, even if you live in another country, I'm sure it has some form of foreign aid it gives out, and hence, the cycle continues.
I must sound like a cruel person, but I guess it comes from past experience. If I'm fighting for my country, it bugs me that my own country isn't taking care of its own people. Its just not enough honestly. They've closed down several homeless shelters where I live, and what now? Can't we redirect the thousands for the homeless in another nation to help our own? Why can't we? Now tell me if I'm sounding evil, but really? We are a powerful nation, and ironically, many of that nations we aid hate us. So they hate us, and we feed them and give them medicine. And here in the U.S, we have homeless who fought for our nation, bled for it, some who are just down on their luck, who won't eat tonight, won't get medical care...and for what? They are our own people. Our people. We are not a united nation in anyway, and as bad as it is, that's the beauty of it. You can believe what you want. You can get up each morning and vote? You can love. You can go to the store and buy things. We live in the beauty of freedom. And while we enjoy that when others can't, it enables us to help. But that help isn't directed toward ourselves. Maybe that's why our nation is how it is. We help others before we help our own, but is that even right? I'll keep this short, but please let me know how you feel. Help ourselves first. Our help the world first.
So I'm bored. Waiting for the UPS to show up and give me my MW2. So I decided I might as well make a blog about some of the odd things I've seen in the internet. And I know we've all seen some crazy things. Just logging onto Facebook and seeing the odd stuff people post is reason enough. The internet will always be a source of entertainment, until we run out of internets and are forced to flee to where there is some. (South Park Reference lol)
For instance, can you imagine buying this off Xbox live? Can you even have that amount of Microsoft points at one time?
Thats like $1,250 dollars I think. I wouldn't mind having that many points floating around. Now of course, I could flood this blog with the thousands of pictures out there, but I won't. I found the xbox one to be too funny not to show. For those interested in funny sites, there's quite a few of them. Lamebook, and peopleofwalmart to name a few.
So yes this blog is quite pointless, but I'm killing time. So forgive me lol. And a shout out to mprezzy. Hang in there buddy! ^_^
[Update 1: Still not here lol. 2:32 PM]
Hello everyone. I know this is a rather too soon blog, but I like to write blogs.
So please bare with me. I had a scare earlier, involving Modern Warfare 2. So I decided to treat myself and got the set that comes with the night vision goggles. (Which by the way are nothing compared to my old job lol). So when I logged onto my account for my bank, imagine my shock when I'm missing a rather large sum. I was freaking out, thinking I got wrapped and how I wouldn't be able to see in the dark anytime soon. Turns out they withdrew the money already. This early!!! I guess they getting ready for the huge shipments they gotta send out. But at least I know its all set to come out.
I traded in ODST. As much as that game was fun, it got too boring for me. Firefight was the only thing I really liked, but I can only handle playing that for so long since the matches last forever. So I headed to Game Crazy and traded it in for three games since they're running the buy two, get one free for the more less liked games. Oh, and a controller. So I picked up...
IRON MAN
Condemned 2 Bloodshot
TimeShift
Not the best out there, but enough to keep me happy till Modern Warfare 2 is released. And since I got a new controller, I don't have to worry about the A button not working or the joysticks sticking. I hope I'm not boring you all lol. My puppy is doing well, he's sleeping as we speak. I show you picture. And this is how he sleeps. ^_^ Take care everyone. Cheers! (And now I just realized that I didn't return Borderlands like I was suppoed to. Ugh. Later everyone.) ^_^
