Changes

It's high time I made another post.  For years I've always said "I hate people."  A simple statement made to express a complex thought, however it is untrue as I have come to realize.  I don't hate people, I never really did, it's the ignorance I never cared for, among many things.  "I hate people," and yet I do my best to respect the individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting, sometimes I might even engage in small talk, turns me into a walking contradiction.  I even try to help those around me while having a dislike for people, but looking further into this contradiction I've come to an understanding, I actually pity those who live in ignorance.  Whether by their doing or someone else's, they can not see the world around them, the voices and machinations of the world are muffled and vague.  It's hard to show reason to someone who can't see it, just as it is to present a picture to a blind man, or music to a deaf woman.  In this day and age, it seems ignorance is louder than reason, but I digress.  I bring up this small insight because this topic has been on my mind and brought up in conversation over the last couple of weeks.  With this post I present a simplified version of my erroneous outlook.

Gamers

I am a gamer, I will admit.  However as a gamer I am disappointed in the "quality" of gamers today.  By quality I do not mean "skill," rather their character.  A player could win every game and never die a match, but what good is that person if he/she puts down everyone who doesn't play, statistcally, as well as that particular gamer.  Bragging, boasting, exuding vulgarity, egotistic, or concieted, are common character traits of such players.  No sense of teamwork, unless the team is helping him/her complete the objective or win a game.  This is a just "the tip of the iceberg," of the decline of the gaming society.

In regards to last

With the nazi issue addressed, I must admit, there is respect for the German military.  They brought about many changes that have affected modern military tactics; not only through their tactics, but the adaptations the allies had to make to improve as well.  Feel free to provide any comments you may have or wish to share.

Just No

I witnessed a couple of jokes yesterday that were "out of taste;" politely speaking. One regarded a german soldier in a concentration joke, the ther was the construction of a pt boat with the nazi flag. These represent gross ignorance, a lack of historical knowledge or sensitivity. The actions of the nazi party party fall nothing short of atrocious, and should never be taken lightly.

A Moment

It's snowing tonight.  I step outside and watch, as the snowflakes slowly fall.  Everything is covered in white.  Footprints left behind, telling a tale; my story.  I still feel warm in the cold night air.  The seemingly endless snowflakes continue their lazy descent.  The light behind me reflecting off at the snow.  As I stand and watch, time slows, my thoughts are silent; peace.  I enjoy this small moment.  Now the cold starts to bite, brining me back to the world, time resume, and I walk back inside; refreshed.

Strength

It's impossible to learn what it means to be strong, unless you've learned what it means to be weak
