I watched “Inception” yesterday for the third time. This movie is nuts, simply bat-shit insane. But in a good way of course. While I had no difficulty in understanding, as many viewers have stated in many reviews, the concept is entirely unique. Some days when I go to the movie theater, I wonder if the producers and directors in Hollywood are running out of ideas for movies. I remember recently seeing the review for an action movie about owls. What the hell? The producers were interviewed during the preview. They said about the movie, “it's like Lord of the Rings, with owls!” That's honestly one of the stupidest things I have ever learned. Just dumb as hell. Now, movies like Inception are great because they are not just mindless action sequences strewn together, even though Inception has more than enough dope actions scenes. Inception also makes the viewers think about what they are watching, it expresses entirely unique ideas. The manipulation of dreams. Dreams are interesting, confusing, and sometimes scary things. They always seem vague and fuzzy, and we all wonder what they mean. The idea of manipulating dreams to serve an agenda is a very impressive subject for a movie. Beyond this manipulation, the concept of planting the seeds of an idea into someone's head to manipulate their actions is an interesting and terrifying idea. Many futuristic novels and movies have explored the idea of control and manipulation such as “1984” and “The Minority Report”. The major concept in Inception, however, is unique and simple dope as hell.

I want to blog about LeBron James. Many people hate the professional basketball player. Over last summer, he decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. He announced his decision in an hour television party called “The Decision”. After seven years of hope for the Cleveland fans, LeBron James decided that he would go somewhere where he would actually get some talented help in his journey for a National Basketball Association Championship ring. Even though Cleveland fans are in some ways rightfully angry, James made the right decision because the only help he ever received while in Cleveland was a 40 year old Shaquille O'Neal, a mediocre Mo Williams and a near retired Antione Jameson. James is now going to the NBA Finals in his first year with the Miami Heat. He made the right decision.

On another note, Jim Tressel is a God that has been brought down by jealous bigots. Tressel is a great man, a great coach and was a great asset to this University. The fact that he had to resign due to the ridiculous amounts of ridicule he has been getting later is horrendous. Just because players like Terrelle Pryor are greedy assholes doesn't mean the best coach in college football today has to take shit for it. The only good thing we may be able to get out of this is if Urban Meyer decides to take the head coaching job at OSU. He would be able to attract players from southern SEC states. He is also a great coach.

Socks scare the hell out of me. For as long as I can remember I've been terrified of socks. They literally restrict my feet from growing. They stink. They restrict my movement. I am scared of dachshunds, also known as wiener dogs. Why do they look so weird? What is their point? I am scared of pickles. They smell pretty weird. They taste worse than they smell. I and scared of giraffes. Why are their necks so long? Why do they live in Africa? Why do they have spots? I am scared of limestone. I am scared of care bears. I am scared of cats. Cats suck. I hate cats. Cats hate me. They have always scratched me and clawed me whenever I try to pet them. Cats are terrible pets. They are antisocial and stuck up. Dogs are a hundred times better. Dogs are social and genuinely love their masters. Cats hates their masters. Plus, cats poop and piss in the house. That's just nasty. The color yellow scares me. Concrete scares me. But on a serious note, sharks scare me. Sharks are terrifying. They are killing machines. Literally every ounce of their body is made to kill others animals and devour them. In reality, I am really just afraid of being afraid so I live my life as if anything has the ability to destroy me. I never walk with pointy object because they can stab you. Sidewalks are also scary because they tend to be uneven and you can trip on them and slip into the road and get hit by a large car. Life is very dangerous and I am afraid of life because if you don't have life then you will be dead but I am afraid of death and by the transitive property I am therefore afraid of life. The keys on my computer are trying to steal energy from my body so I must stop typing now because otherwise I will die and not be able to finish the blog project.

Let's be real, while the world has given us a lot of awesome stuff, there are some really messed up things going on. One of which is the ridiculously destructive tornadoes that have been ravaging the South and Midwest. If anyone has seen videos of these, they will understand how terrifying they looked. The tornadoes were huge. I heard estimates that some were a mile wide and moved at a hundred miles an hour. They were incredibly destructive. I believe, and this is a highly disputed matter, that climate change is affecting the severity of the storms hitting the world. The higher temperatures, however slight they are, and the slightly warmer waters serve as a potent combination to create powerful storms. Another thing that concerns me is that I recently found out that a girl gave me strep, even though she knew she had it. This, excuse my French, is BULLshit. I'm not happy about it. Who does that? Not cool. Another issue is poverty in general. It's a cliché response to the answer, but it's an enormous problem in this world. It's insane that we can have a country as rich as ours, yet have the untouchables of India combing through trash on the daily just for a meal. Even in our own country there is a huge divide between the rich and poor. Even though there are many issues in our world, it's still a pretty sweet place. An Ohio State's pretty dope too. It's a crazy world.

If I was born in a different time period. I would have been an assassino by the name of Etzio. I would have had extraordinary skills in the areas of blending in, free running, and of course assassinations. I would have been a member of the brotherhood and would have fought the Borgia in Rome. You may at this point be thinking, “what the hell is wrong with this kid?” Well, I'm just stating the truth. I would have been an assassin. Assassins were all over the place at earlier times in the world. They fought for good shit and killed bad people. They pretty much wrecked shit and ruled the world. BOOM. I, therefore, would have ruled the world at that time. I'd chain kill the shit out of the guards, and dive off of buildings like nobody's business. If I wasn't Etzio, I would probably just be a peasant, let's be real. Before our time, normal people kind of got shafted for the most part. You were either the ruling class that had a shit-ton of money and suppressed the hell out of the poor people or you were the poor people. BUT, it would have been pretty sweet to live in other times than now. I would love to be able to see the Mayan Civilization, the Incas, the Ancient Egyptians, the Roman Empire, the Mongols, the Ancient Chinese, and many other civilizations. The past would have been awesome in many ways, but also pretty rough in many ways.

The biggest mistake I ever made was to start college in FEH engineering. This ruined my GPA and made for some shitty quarters. But, thankfully I am now out of that major and am undecided. I am much happier in my life now that I am not failing physics tests every other week and worrying about what the hell int main means in terms of programming. Another mistake I have made is not going back to Rome yet. When I was in 6^th grade my family and I took a trip to the awesome city of Rome. We were currently living in the town of Harpenden in England at the time, so it was a short flight to the Italian capitol. It was around the time of Thanksgiving, and was our first of that holiday overseas. The country of England did not celebrate the holiday for obvious reasons, so my parents wanted to celebrate it in our own way. The city of Rome can be described only as incredible. The architecture is beautiful, old, and historic. The thought that almost every building in that city is older than the majority of the dwellings in the United States is crazy. Each block we explored was deeply intertwined in history. We walked at least ten miles each of the four days we were there. We walked to the jaw dropping coliseum, the impressive Roman forum, the amazing Pantheon in the heart of Rome and many other places around the city. We also entered the Vatican City and saw Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, a striking experience. While all this was amazing, the very best aspect of Rome was the food. The food was insanely delicious.

My best friend is man's best friend, my dog. My dogs' name is Rooney. Rooney is part mastiff, part tiger. Charlie Sheen got his “tiger blood” rendition from my dog, which is bullshit because he hasn't paid her shit for it. Rooney is terrifying. She has eaten several people. She is about 130 pounds and eats whole cows for breakfast. She doesn't live in my house, she lives in a cave on the mountain behind my house. She battled a mountain lion to steal the cave from it. When she defeated it, she ended up skinning it and she now wears a mountain lion coat around. When I take her on a walk, she leads me. She pretty much hates everyone besides my family, which is nice, because if she hated us she would have eaten us. The government of the United States of America pays tribute to Rooney so she won't eat it. Rooney ate Prussia, and the Ottoman Empire. The dinosaurs didn't become extinct because of a meteor, but because Rooney ate them as an appetizer. The Dos Equis most interesting man in the world is only scared of one thing; My dog. Dogs came from wolves, and wolves came from my dog Rooney. There was once a bully in my school. Then Rooney found out about him. No one ever saw the bully again. Amelia Earhart was flying over the Pacific, and then my dog got hungry. My dogs favorite prowling ground is the Bermuda Triangle. Rooney invented fear, but has never felt it. She would go hell because of her crimes, but God is scared of her. My best friend is my dog Rooney.
