A New Feature

Hello, again. Tonight, I have a new feature on my blog. Some of you may or may not find this a good thing. But, I am trying something new. I will add a section of my blog regularly (or not so regularly as the case calls for) called the Lighter Side. Now, the Lighter Side is when I mention on thing that is not wreathed in madness and despair. Here's a sample of the Lighter Side.

On the Lighter Side

Um...Taco Bell is still in business, to my knowledge. Ugh...haven't been outside in so long, it's hard to tell. I think they are...I hope. Well, if they are hypothetically still open, we can still drown our sorrows in buckets of chips filled to the brim with preservatives with a side of synthetic cheese-flavored liquid. Hehheh, I can see it now, some fat kid running out the door in fear that Taco Bell went bankrupt due to the swine flu contaminating the food, because of the immigration, get it? Eh, sounded funnier in my head. Anyways...um...look I'm still working on this. I'm doing this as a request, OK?! I'm not good with acting optimistic.

So, you People are Embrassed by my Point of View?

Well, then after a brief word with a viewer. It has come to my attention that some of you viewers consider me to be a bastard. Now, personally I couldn't care less about what the general public thinks of my point of view. Here's a little post about how I'm not UTTERLY corrupt.

I don't go around maiming people, OK? I just don't see the point in helping someone directly who hasn't helped you in a similar way. If someone is kind or helps me, I thank them and move on. If someone hinders or insults me, either I do a similar deed or I just walk away. Now, for the comedy of my previous blog. A viewer left a comment that was very deep and full of emotion, negative towards me. A parental figure, he claimed that I was "mean and spiteful". OK, that was just for dark humor. I don't see the harm in it. Besides the chances of that singer running into my blog is extremely minor or second to non-existent. Some of you may think that I was mocking the special Olympics, I am NOT! I was mocking the way that it was coordinated. Specifically the event coordination, I would never mock the mentally disabled. Did I mention anything negative about the athletes, no.

And if this singer did find my blog and if she did read this article, if she can't take criticism, she has no real purpose as a singer. A true singer would just be insulted for a while, send some hate mail and move on after a month at the most. Truth be told, I am writing for myself and if anyone gets insulted, well I'm not the most crazed, most evil bastard floating in the void of the Internet. If anyone is ashamed of me, very well. I cannot change that, nothing can. And if you viewers find my concepts upsetting, well you can just send me some hate mail and walk away (if it is really bigotry or is flawed, I'll post and exploit your flaws on multiple levels so please think carefully before you bombard me).

Was I mocking the Olympics, on a level, yes I was. I was mocking they way that it was poorly designed. But, I do not see any sin in pointing out how poorly organized it was, or if I gave a brutal review of a singer. My point is, there are many crueler people on this planet, why waste your ammo on me when you could be doing so to a child pornography site or a Neo-Nazi organization site. My point is, their is no sin in exorcising your 1st amendment rights and exploiting controversial concepts and material that others will most likely find offensive. As long as you have an intelligent cause and not just bigotry as a source. If you exploit flaws in an all too sensitive topic, well then people are bound to get upset. It was a risk that I knew and took. And for anyone offended, I sincerely apologize. I may be edited, yes. But censored, never.

If you people haven't figured out this by now, here is the truth about this blog: I am a homosexual. LOL, jk, jk...hehheh, sorry, I had to throw in something cyncial in their somewhere. Anyways, (ahem) I write for myself, just as JRR Tolkien did with the Lord of the Rings, this is my honset point of view. If you pepole have an issue with it, well you don't have to read it.

Nollaf's Tower Goes to the Special Olympics

Hello, little fools who are strange enough to read this blog without running out the door screaming (due to the philosophical concepts frequently mentioned throughout this blog that reflect in actually intelligent ideas). Yesterday, I volunteered. No, what...volunteered isn't the right word. I was press-ganged by my parents to "volunteer" at the Special Olympics. This year, it was held at the Aggie Stadium of UC Davis, practically at my doorstep. Normally on a Friday Night, I would lock the doors, get some European cheeses and crackers and play some World of Warcraft. But, my parents dragged me to this event. Their motives are unknown to me, but I think that they were trying to open up my heart (and making it 3x it's size, giving me the strength of TEN emos, plus 2). Yeah, I did the community service, but my heart is still as cold and hallow as it was that afternoon.

My job was simple, to usher the athletes to there seats. They had us get there an hour earlier with not a single job for us to do. So we sat their for an hour some pissed off mother (not mine, one of the athletes) was telling me how to usher them, fortunately I did put up with her infernal gibbering for too long. I donned my IPod and listened to some Final Fantasy VI Original Soundtrack...(sighs with solace) anyways, an hour later the opening torch ceremony began. I just pointed towards the general direction that they were supposed to go for about half an hour, once I was stationed.

However, one thing made it all worth while. You know how in ALL sporting events like this some scantally clad, amateur pop singer that NO ONE has ever heard of before comes up stage and sings our empire's, sorry I mean country's "national anthem". Now, she came over for a second song. It was some sort of sexual hype song, the choirs was "I coming up so you better get me started". Why would they sing that song? The selection of the musical score was not very well done either, a majority of the songs were orchestral version of rock songs with highly suggestive lyrics. Not to mention due to the background audio, the singer was almost instantly thrown off key. My mother and I laughed into the sunset, so that was fun.

After the torch was lit, I left. I was not moved as a person, it did not feel anything good in my heart, if anything it was humorous to mock the audio. Well, if anything I won karma points (if karma really exists, BIG if). The whole experience did not change me in any definition of the word, I remain the same evil, misanthropic ranter that I always have been.

Why Morals Do Not Exist

OK, after a conversation/arguments with my mother last night I have decided to blog about moral nihilism and how (unlike most forms of nihilism) it is somewhat practical. Moral nihilism is the belief that morals are just points of view and do not exist. In other words, moral absolutes do not exist. Now, I'm sure a bunch of crazy religious people are going to jump out of the shadows and bite my head off about how I'm wrong and how God's will is right. Well, then let's go over the ten commandments.

These are direct exscripts from the Exodus, so I don't want to hear any one whining about how I got these wrong, OK?!?

13 You shall not murder. (So if a homicidal maniac is chasing you with a chainsaw and you have a gun, you can't kill him?)

12 You shall not envy. (See #9)

14 You shall not commit adultery. (So you can't sleep with your dream guy when your husband is physically abusing you?)

15 You shall not steal. (So if you and your family is starving, you can't steal a 20 from a corrupt miser?)

16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Even if he wronged you several times over again but you never told the authorities?)

17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. (But you can do it to your own ox or donkey, and if your neighbor is a horrible wife beater you and if she really likes you, you can't steal her? And what if the slave likes you? Besides covet means to desire or lust for and according to this God gave us free will so therefore we with our primal urges we subconsciously lust for sex constantly, thus damning us.)

6 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;

7 you shall have no other gods before me. (So, you gave us free will...but you expect us to obey you once we have found flaws in your commandments?)

8 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (See comments above)

9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me, (So you love us, but you will damn us if we don't obey your every word?! Not to mention in #12 you said for us not to envy but you yourself envy so WHAT THE HELL?!? )

This is just one of many reasons why there are no moral absolutes.

Now, here's another reason why morals don't exist. Everyone has their own point of view. EVERYONE! Now every one who follows a religion has their own variations of it. Now the message that the church is trying to cross is basically this, "If you don't believe exactly what I believe than your going to hell." In that case that person would be the only one in heaven. Now, how dose that work? Hmm...sounds kinda boring to me. I can totally imagine myself in Moses's hypothetical place and pointing out all the flaws and he would just be stunned, "But..hmm...um...remind me why I gave you people free will again? Look just follow the commandments or I'll smite thee into oblivion."

Now as more good and evil. What is evil? The dictionary states it as, "profoundly immoral and malevolent." Like I said earlier, everyone has their own interpretations of good and evil. Look at the terrorists of the middle-east. They think that they are doing God's will and are therefore good. While we perceive them as evil because they murder countless people who do not agree with them. And look at the Spanish Inquisition, they thought that they were doing God's will also and believed that they were holy and pure, the pagans which they tortured thought otherwise. Even the Nazi's believed that they were purifying the human race by purging the Jewish cutler.

My point is good and evil can be anything. It's all about the point of view, therefore there are no moral absolutes, for they cannot exist in this world that we live in. Even if the planet was taken over by an empire and there was no freedom of religion, people would still secretly worship their own deities and there would be terrorists. Therefore, there are no moral absolutes. Any questions.

Why Edward is a Disturbing Pedophile

OK, this one will be shorter, I promise. I just want you to understand that Edward is a sociopathic freaky bastard. Now, I know all you pathetic acolytes of this...Stephenie Meyer. I stated this earlier, but I HATEHATEHATEHATEHATE TWILIGHT!!! (pant, wheeze) ahem, anyways why these pathetic teenagers fall in love with this bastard. Why? Well, I'll tell you why. Stephenie Meyer made it so that, her version of love in this book is stupid and shallow. Now, she perfected Edward physically and that's all that she cared about on this male protagonist. Naturally teenagers in general are extremely shallow and search for looks when searching for a mate. Therefore, she mentally half-assed him and thus turned him into an overprotective monster.

I know, a bunch of Twilight fan girls are going to scream, "WHY?! Edward's HAWT, what you see is a perfect reflection on the interior, right?". Sorry, you idiots but Edward has many of qualities of an abusive boyfriend. For God's sake, the bastard watches Bella has she sleeps and drains the gas from her car to prevent her from hanging out with her friends because he claims, "That their 'dangerous". He also threatens to kill Bella in a forest shortly after the infamous sparkle scene. Also, Edward is over 100 years old and he's dating a 17 year old girl. Do the f-ing math, people. And because, he's "hawt" that apparently makes up for all the times that he mentally toys with her. Thanks, Stephenie Meyer, thanks alot for sending a whole generation of women back two hundred years. Why can't you teenagers read something good like...I don't know, Physics of Immortality, or Divine Comedy?!
