This may be considered blasphemy to some, but I thought The Avengers was the most over-rated movie I have ever seen *gasp*. But seriously, it had no freaking plot! All it was was over the top action and explosions. I just do not understand everyone's obsession with it.
I will concede that is had some pretty funny moments, but for the most part, it was just action. Now I understand that a lot of people really like action, and I have no problem with it, but I much prefer a good story to an intense fight scene. For example, the movie A Beautiful Mind freaking thugs Avengers up because it is a great story. Even though it may be the most uneventful movie ever, it still absolutely owned Avengers.
Like I said, a lot of people really liked Avengers, and more power to them, but it was absolutely not my cup of tea...

Direct Orders
I am giving you direct orders to look at your opposing political party with an open mind. Whether you are a republican or democrat, just look with an open mind. It makes me absolutely ill to know that some people vote nothing but republican or democrat just because that is the party they associate with. I mean really. Half of the state is probably going to vote against Jim Matheson just because he is a "Democrat" regardless of the fact that he is dang near the best thing that has ever happened to Utah.
Matheson gets things done. He doesn't vote for nothing but democrat things, and he doesn't vote against everything republican. He votes for what is best for the state and the country. Whereas Utahans vote for freaking Tea-Party members who wouldn't sign a bill that would create world peace if a democrat brought it up. They have their heads so far up their ass that they don't care if it will help the country, they only care if it is a "democratic" bill.
And I'm not just picking on the republicans. To all you democrats out there, wake the heck up! Yeah it means well, but Obama-Care is a freaking joke. They signed the bill in just so they could see what it contained. No joke, Nancy Pelosi said that. Look it up, I dare you.
Enough with just voting for your party only. Actually take a look at who is the best option for the country, and vote for them. We will never move forward as a country if we are all so locked in that there can be only one way to do things, so I am giving you a direct order to wake up, and fix some crap so that this country can become great again.

We are Dancer
I don't like humans. My dislike towards humans has been an ever growing theme in my life, but recently it has hit its peak. Maybe it's just because of where I live that I don't like people, but I don't know.
I don't like how little we care about helping one another. I hate how selfish we are. I read some of Fredrick Turners blog and he says everything we do is out of selfishness, even the charitable stuff. I wanted to disagree, but as I thought about it, I found that he is right.
Not a single one of us is really out to help others. I mean think about it, say you donate 1 million dollars to a charity. That is a ton of money and a very selfless thing to do, but why are you really doing it? Some are doing it so that they will look better in others eyes.
I am going to go ahead and say in this scenario, you are not doing it so that people will look at you better. There are then only a couple other options of why you would donate. First option is because you hate seeing how much poverty there is. This sounds like a great thing until you realize it't not because you don't like poverty, but because you feel guilty for having nice conditions while they don't. So, something that initially started as good has become you wanting to avoid guilt, thus giving the million dollars.
Second option, you are a religious person and want to just be as kind as possible to others, which is very commendable, but still selfish. If you are religious then you probably believe in an after-life or some kind of heaven which is based off of actions you made in this life, thus meaning your charity was really just for you to make it into heaven.
I don't know. I 'm probaly wrong. This isn't what I was planning on writing. I just kinda went with my fingers. I was all set to write about politics and crap like that, but I don't even care anymore. Screw humans and life and everything.

Scary Movie Help
Alright, I need some help. I need some ideas for scary movies to watch during the Halloween season.
I humbly think of myself as a scary movie connoisseur, but I want to see some new things that may have slipped past my radar. If anyone has any good movies, please leave a comment and let me know.
*PS -- I don't really like blood and gore. I wasn't much into the SAW movies just because it was soooo bloody. That being said, if you have a really good movie, still let me know about it.

Shane Co.
Since we are writing about boring things, lets talk about the most boring commercials out there: Shane Co. Company. These commercials are without a doubt the least exciting things around today. They have all the excitement of saying words, mixed with the intrigue of an old man. Riveting...
That being said, I think they are about the most effective commercials around. You know why? Because everyone remembers them! Everyone and their dog can quote "Now you have a friend in the diamond business. Open weekdays until eight, Saturdays until five, closed Sundays."
They are boring, but they are obviously doing their job if everyone can remember not only the companies name, but the freaking store hours too!
Congratulations Tom Shane. You have the best commercials around.
