Philosophy

Did I spell philosophy right? Don't see a red line under it, so I guess I probably did. Wehey.

I've been asked what I think is the meaning of life, but I'm not sure what to think of it. Ok, I haven't been asked, but if someone should decide to ask me, I like to be prepared. Those who know me knows that I like to be prepared, sometimes, now and then, once in a while, once a year.... IT HAPPENS!

So what is the meaning of life? Is it get drunk, get a girlfriend(while drunk?), get a house and loan(still drunk?) and kids(must be drunk)? I dunno. I hope the meaning of life is watching Arsenal win the League, FA Cup, Champions League while the kids take the Carling Cup. That would be nice. Maybe some day as I move further into adulthood there will be a revelation to me about what really is the meaning of life, but right now I'll settle for passing that fucking phonetics exam and watch Arsenal win at least the PL.

So, enough philosophy and on to something interesting; my computer is a bitch. Killing the videocard driver whenever it feels like it, going sloooooooooooooooow like me rambling on about something completely stupid, and not letting me defrag it. "What keeps you from throwing the piece of shit out the window?" you might ask. Well, basically, it's because it will be like going from having a leg that hurts every now and then to amputating the thing with a hacksaw while being forced to listen to boybands and republicans ramble on about how Obama is Muslim Communist from Kenya. I three computers here in this house, two desktops and one laptop.

Desktop #1(my private comp): Has decided that it's time to disable the sound card no matter what, disable every .exe file on two hard drives, and Protect every file and folder so that it's impossible to make a back up of all my LEGAL mp3's and other LEGAL downloads.

Desktop #2(crap comp): Runs slower than a turtle through glue and shuts down programs whenever it feels like it. Watching anything more than a movie is to pray for a white Christmas and sanity for those that vote Frp. Any more complicated programs than Word and Firefox(and Media Player every now and then) makes it whine like a 5 yo who has just been denied desert because it thought it was a good idea to throw muddy water on the dog and let it into the living room.

Laptop: I believe I have already explained the problem. So basically this is the lesser of three evils.

Also my WD external Hard Drive has decided that it doesn't want to play anymore and has shut down, and probably need a format if it's ever gonna work again, meaning; 450 gigs of stash removed. Oh joy...

Actually quite interesting

I'm not gonna say much about the Mahrabalah Cash - Arsenal game, simply because the entire game has been overshadowed by what Adebaycunt did in the match. Arseblog sums it up pretty much, and he keeps it somewhat serious too. I don't think I could manage to keep it all that serious. I'd probably ramble on about how he is one of the cuntiest cunts that ever played for Arsenal. Arseblog is right when he ridicules Mahrabalah Cash's manager Mark Hughes for saying

He needs to be cut a little bit of slack given what he has gone through in the last 18 months

He earns £140 000 a week, and if it's true that footballplayers have to pay 50% tax then he still has £70 000 a week times 52 is £3,64 million a year after tax. If I work as much as I can I'll earn roughly £480 a week before tax. He earns £139 520 more than me a week, if I work as much as I can. I don't feel sorry for him one bit, even if he needs to shag Maggie Thatcher once a week. He can play football, and he gets a shitload of money for it. He will get no sympathy from me.

When it comes to Arsenal, despite a 4-2 loss I'm not worried about defense. In the last two matches we've conceeded 6 goals. 1 on penalty(which was just a bit more of a penalty than Eduardo's dive. Shrek showing his standing up abilities yet again), one own goal by Diaby(you're a useless cunt btw) and now 4 goals against Mahrabalah Cash. That game could have gone either way. Arsenal should have been given a penalty when it was 1-1, Adebaycunt should have been sent off before saving a ball on the line at 2-1 and before scoring the 3-1 goal. It just shows that Mark Clattenburgh(or however the blind fucker's name is spelled) needs new contact lenses and a pair of balls. Arsenal had a bundle of chances to get back into the game, but things just didn't go our way. That's the life of football, and this time it was Mahrabalah Cash who had payed the most money to the prostitute we all know as Lady Luck.

On a less important note, it's election here in Norway today. My gut feeling says that things will remain unchanged, simpley because the opposition made a big mess of it the last week, really showing how far away from each other they really are. The 4 opposition parties, Venstre(Left, who isn't on the left but in the centre), KrF(Christian People Party, for Christians and Jews who hate muslims and wants to keep women in the kitchen), Høyre(Right, who is actually on the right side, but they are rarely right(wordplays ftw=D)) and FrP(Progressparty, who isn't for progress, but says they will fill your wallet but they will just empty it like the rest of the bunch, only in a different way).

Venstre (V) and KrF will NEVER co operate with FrP in government and they will probably never support a FrP government. The three parties currently in government will also never accept an FrP government, even if it is together with Høyre(H), thus H and FrP needs over 50% of the seats in the Parliment for FrP to end up in government, provided that they manage to work something out together. I can't see that happening.

KrF's leader, Dagfinn Høybråten, thinks he can be a PM candidate. The only person more disillusioned is Eboue thinking he's the best player on Arsenal. It's just not a reality. The only option to the sitting government(should they loose the majorety) is an V-Krf-H coalition who has to work with either FrP or AP(one of the governing parties) to get majoriety in the Parliment, or a pure AP government, working with God knows who. I simply can't see FrP having a minister after this election. Should that happen I'll be expecting to be able to see pigs fly outside my window and Song score a hat-trick against Standard Liege on Wednesday while all the countries in the world agrees on death penalty to all boybands. Should the last one become true I think I could handle an FrP government. You win some, you loose some....

A long time ago

It's been a while since I've updated last time. Reason? Simple; there has been fuck all happening, until now. Why do I post right now, that's because Premier League have FINALLY started again. First round is over and Arsenal is top of the table. If it was up to me they could just end the league right now and give Arsenal the trophy. Sadly that isn't how things work, and although we won 6-1 away at the unemployed neighbours of the mugsmashers, there's a whole lot of games left, but it's a good start. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the game, so I'm forced to redirect you to Arseblog. I hope you'll survive with that.

In case you haven't watched the silly season's happenings, the big news from an Arsenal point of view is that Adebayor is gone to Mahrabalah Cash(yay, goodbye you offsidefishing cunt) along with Toure(damn). Enjoy your lack of CL matches, lads.

The sad thing about this season is that unless we make a big signing in the back, defensive midfielder or center back, we won't win. Although the FA and League Cups are still open(simply because they are cups), I still can't see us win the league. But I'm confident in a top four finish. The three contenders to a spot in the top four, The Unemployed Neigbours, Villa(haven't come up with a good mocking name for them yet. Open for suggestions) and Mahrabalah Cash, didn't exactly impress me in the opening round. UN and Villa both lost, and MC won over Blackburn, which isn't exactly a big club no matter what they think of themselves.

UN's best central defender want's to go to MC, Villa has lost Gareth Barry, a key player, to MC, and MC has two dozen strikers but a lack of central defenders.

When it comes to the title I agree with a lot of experts(except the Norwegian ones who don't know shit about football since they fap to pictures of Rooney and Gerrard) that Chelsea is the favourite for the title this year. They are as strong as they were last season and with a new good manager(that will be without a job before Christmas because Abramovich gets a severe case of PMS yet again and thinks he knows everything about managing) and Man Who and the mugsmashers have both lost keyplayers; ronnie, Tevez, Alonso to mention a few.

With the mugsmashers I agree with Paul Merson; Alonso could pick out a pass from almost anywhere on the pitch, send it over to Gerrard that would attract enough defenders to leave Torres in acres of space before passing the ball to El Nino and let put the ball in the back of the net. Who's gonna give the ball to Gerrard now?

I think Tevez was the best player on Man Who last year. Yes, ronnie the rat scored more goals than him, but Tevez's workrate allowed the cunt to move forward and enjoy himself there. Now they don't have a hard working lad and they don't have a cunt that score that many goals for them. To me, Tevez is a bigger loss than ronnie the rat.

The other thing that's happening right now is that Alice Cooper and everybody else who sang "Schools Out" have been proven wrong today. School has just started. Just shows that drugs will mess with your mind.

The reason the world hate Yanks

There has been a lot of drama in the local media lately, and it's all because of our "good friend" Mullah Krekar, the founder of the terrorist group Ansar Al-Islam. Some cocky Yanks from the NBC news made a documentary about how easy it was to get Mullah Krekar out of Norway and back to Iraq for trial. Ok, Mullah Krekar is a terrorist(or at least founder of a terrorist group and pretty annoyed with the Yanks) and he is wanted in Iraq for God knows how many things. So why don't we just send him on his arse out of Norway and down to Iraq? The answer is pretty simple; Norway has agreed with probably every other European nation that we will NOT send wanted people to countries where they can be tortured or given the death penalty. Imagine that; keeping the legal rights of any person no matter what they are charged with. Seems like this is something that these Yanks making the documentary(I'm not sure if I can even call it that) don't care about.

I saw a good portion of the show, but I just couldn't look at it much longer. To see these dudes show themselves with full names and act like idiots in the way they did was just too much for me to take, and I've seen a lot. And to see two high ranking politicians appear on this show and act like they want to shag the Yanks just for bringing up a document that doesn't mean shait was just disgusting.

One of the parts that was increadibly embarassing was when they begun to do surveilance on Krekar's appartment. They wanted to find out if he was really there before they gave the information to the authorities. I think there's an invetion that eluded them. It's called a fucking phone book(invented in 1878, so it's not a new invetion). Find the letter "K" in it(it's sort of like a dictionary) and see if you can find Mullah Krekar. It's probably not all that difficult, but these fuckers decided to camp outside his appartment and stash hidden surveilance cameras(illegal. For once I hope the bastard calls the cops on the Yanks) to see if he was really there. Jesus fucking Christ. And when they managed to say that they had to tread carefully on this operation otherwise "people could get killed" it just showed how retarded these dudes are. You're not in fucking Bagdad anymore. You're in Oslo; the capital of a country in where you're not allowed to own a firearm unless you're in a club that does competative shooting or a registered and licenced hunter. Do you idiots honestly think that suddenly one of Krekar's neighbours is gonna grab an AK and start shooting at you, or maybe grab an RPG and blow up your "surveilance van"? Something tells me these idiots have lost touch with reality.

So, if we look away from the fact that they have appeared like idiots on their own show, what if we look at the quality of the journalistic work they have done. I think you can sum it up with three words; A FUCKING DISGRACE! Yup, that sums it up fairly nicely. Let's make a short list:
- The document they got and delivered to the politicians had no impact whatsoever on the matter at hand. The dude signing it had no power to guarantee such a thing
-They edited the interview of Mullah Krekar to make him look as similar to bin Laden as they could.
-The politicians they interviewed: Two politicians from the same party to far bloody right of Norwegian Politics. Go one step further and you're getting dangerously close to the Nazi's(and I FUCKING MEAN IT!). They had a long interview with the Minister of Justice, but they edited that away, and they rejected an offer to interview the Minsiter of Foreign Affairs, two of three people with real political power in this case(The Prime Minister being the one left). Instead they chose two idiots from the FrP(I think they referred to them as The Progress Party(progress my ass. Recession x 2 is more likely)). FrP is the kid in the neighbourhood that nobody wants to play with. This is the party that would nod and say "yes, that was the right decision" if Bush decided it was a good idea to get rid of some nuclear weapons and dump them on strategic places in Iraq, Iran and North-Korea.

The rather amusing thing is that American Media is butchering this series, more or less asking NBC; "Hey guys, what the fuck are you smoking up there?". Commentators from Baltimore Sun and New York Times have given this program what it's worth. If I were an American journalist I would be so embarassed I would give up my profession and start sweeping streets for a living.

So, it's back to my headline; what has this to do with the world hating Yanks? Well, the only thing this program enlightens is the problem with an American thinking way: "The Norwegians haven't been able to get rid of him, so now we're gonna do it for them." They act like they're some sort of world police here to get rid of any problem that might occur in the world. It's like they have a Swiss Army knife with a special "Save the world tool" made for Americans only. This is why you're so fucking unpopular; you stick your nose in places where it shouldn't be, you say you can fix it and you either end up making a bigger mess out of it or you do nothing at all, except project yourself like idiots. And you're wondering why you lot are so bloody unpopular?

Idiots...

Very little of itnerest going on

Game of the week; Defend the wicket. Very simple, but can be somewhat addictive(I played the Ashes with this one, Aussies won 3-1)

http://www.miniclip.com/games/cricket-defend-the-wicket/en/

Nothing else of interest is going on. Heading to the East part of Norway tomorrow to visit a friend of mine. Apparently she lives in what they call "Dollar Hill", so not surprisingly I've given her hell for that already. I can guarantee you that there is more to come, make no mistake about it. On the plane tomorrow I'm gonna do my best to try and find up more jokes about it. Maybe something like "So this is what a dollar hill looks like?" and "Beverly Hills take a hike". I'll have an hour on the plane and a good hour on the train to figure it all out.

Other than that there is very little of real interest happening around in the world. A little bit of transfers and all that, but nothing more than that, except that I found the video proof that Captain Diver did punch that man who supporter in the pub. I hope the bastard gets a hard long sentence. It would be epic. Sometimes I wish I were a judge. I would give cunts like that 5 years of hard labour, and that's just for being a cunt.

Until later, prisoners.

Adebayor and I'm pissed off

That's fucking right. I'm fucking pissed off. Maybe that's just because I'm tired and cold, that usually has that effect on me, but I'm still pissed off. It's not about Adebayor though. The offside kid(when you put it like that he does sound like a sort of super hero, doesn't he. "Wenger. We are 2-1 up and we don't have any offsides." "Send in the offside kid!"). £25 million is a nice lump of cash that will give us a chance to buy a good central midfielder, and maybe we buy that Chamkra kid or whatever his name is. I've heard they want Sylvestre along with a lump sum of money. Do it, Wenger. Just do it. If we have to spend 7 million quid to get rid of him, the fine. The bastard has probably cost us more during his one year stay. Just get him out of Emirates.

Now, onto what really pisses me off. It's cold and windy today. It's so cold that I've had to turn on the ovens. Now, that wouldn't be a problem if it now was in the period October-April, but we're in the middle of fucking July. July is supposed to be a warm month, because it's the fucking summer. And I do believe we all know the reason for all of this; the climate change. How we humans have managed to fuck up this world yet again is beyond me. You would think we had learned by now, but as Einstin pointed out; Human stupidity is indeed endless.

What's even more frustrating and what really REALLY pisses me off are those fucktards saying "The Climate change is not caused by humans". What the fuck are you talking about? The fact that 90% of all the scientists working on this subject has said "Yes, this fucked up thing is caused by us"(in a slightly different and more academic way) doesn't mean anything to you? That a buynch of scientists hired by the UN agreed on this statement is something that you don't care about, because you listen to the Dr. Mengele of climate science saying that 90% of the scientists are wrong. Well, here's a newsflash; 10% of the scientists in the 30's and 40's said that Jews were a lower race than white. Some historians still say that Holocaust never happened(although Ahmadinejad probably thinks that an organised butchering of 6 million Jews would be too good to be true. His thoughts, not mine). Fuck, they even give them prizes for saying that load of crap these days. Some people still beilieve that homosexuality is a disease that can be cured through either therapy or medicine, but since they are minority in these thoughts, does that make them right? FUCKING NO!!!

Just because you're a minority in science, doesn't mean that you're a lesser human being because the majority screws you over. Sometimes the minority is right, but in this case you're fucking wrong. Open up your eyes, realise that you've fucked up, and then start thinking if you should listen to politicians who denies climate change just because it doesn't fit their politics...

Thoughts on WoW.

I'm stuck with rather mixed feelings about World of Warcraft right now. It's rather difficult to decide if I should continue with it after the trial is over or if I should care fuck all about it.

I can try to summarize it in to positive and negative

Positive
When it comes to WoW I'm amazed of not only the level of detail, but also the size of it all. You can start running from one side and probably won't reach the other side before next year. Also the fact that I with my shitty internet connection am able to play a game with pretty good detail online is a bit impressive. They say that you can do it with dial up 56 kb/s, but I experienced lag in areas with a lot of people at 700 kb/s. Still it's pretty impressive, I must admit.

I like the way that you can have several different types of classes and species. This doesn't restrict you to just orc or human. It gives a person a greater diversity and range of choice. It also allows the ability to gather up parties consisting of warriors and spellcasters. Diversity is stronger than anything else. One characters strong side weighs up for another's weak side.

It wasn't fun when playing alone, well it was fun for about 30 minutes, but then it just got "meh". However, I ended up getting into a party of five(see what I did there?=P), which quickly made it a bit more interesting. Although since I was on the trial version I couldn't invite people in, I helped out a dude that needed it and he invited me to join him. Then we got a couple more, and the killing was on. Although the dudes refused to listen to any attempt to play it tactical to avoid deaths in the group. Also the total lack of communication in the group was a bit annoying. Never the less, it was funn the little while it lasted.

Negative
On to the negative sides of the game. First of all, it's rubbish if you don't play it with anyone. You can keep yourself entertained for a little while, but unless you're one of those with no life at all, you'll end up bored and wanting to shave your groin with a 10 year old well used razor. It's just not that fun. You need someone else to play with, and until that happens, you're pretty much fucked.
Although I found someone to play with, ssince I didn't know them, it was rather boring. It was like a sex addict forced to have a wank instead of sex. It wasn't satisfying. It worked for some time, but in the end it was useless. Maybe the fact that I only have a trial account and thus can't do shit counts for something. Anyway, playing it alone for a longer period of time is boring. It's also very difficult to take on larger groups of monsters on your own. If you are a level 11 type, you might just win against a level 13 beast, but then you're most likely very far down on HP. Add another beast, and you're dead. You need others to back you up when fighting more than two beasts at a time that are superior to you in level. That really sucks.

If you, like me, experience lag, then it could be frustrating. But that goes for any game. Lag=sucks.

Neither does it bring something new gameplay, at least I feel that way. You have a character, you kill to gain experience, you use that experience to get stronger and learn new abilities, which allows you to kill animals that give you more experience. You also earn money that allow you to buy money. We've all seen it before, but if you like that type of game then it's not a problem really.
Conclusion
No matter how you look at it and how many positive sides you bring up, it still won't be able to outwheigh the alone part. ssThe problem is that it's simply not the kind of game you can play alone. You are more or less forced to drag some friends in to be able to play. Taking that into consideration, it's a pretty smart marketing technique from Blizzard. But as long as you can find someone to play it with, you might actually enjoy the experience.

However, should you get hooked, you should shoot yourself...
