You can't make a blank news post.

I'm tired of seeing people (especially on newgrounds) throwing together rant after rant. I don't care if you hate rap music. I don't care if you're tired of reality shows, I don't care if you hate jews/christians/athiests. You get some vague idea of something, then you decide to come up with some half-assed essay about why you think it sucks. I don't see why you bother to spend the time and effort into wasting your time like that. What do you intend to accomplish?

I don't know about you, but when I read my hundredth rant about why the Wii is better than the 360, I can honestly say that I'm not rushing off to exchange my 360 for it's nintendo-based counterpart. I see atheists ranting all the time about how every christian on the planet is a total bible verse-quoting zealot who wants them to convert on the thread of eternal damnation, which is completely true, because all we Christians do is run around harassing athiests.

I know for a fact that you never change anyone's mind when you rant. All you do is look like a generalizing bigot who has nothing better to do than try to justify their own meaningless existence, trying to make up for your own lack of accomplishment by forcing your fickle beliefs onto other people.

I am also very aware of the irony of this post.

No, seriously, I hate to shave.

It wasn't always like this. Back in the day, my facial hair was lighter than the hair on my head, so it was hard to see. I was able to get away with shaving only two or three times a week. It also grew relatively slowly, so shaving was even less of an issue. However, lately, it seems like my facial hair has turned against me. Not only has it begun to darken significantly, but now it seems like it grows several times faster.

Now I can't go more than a day and a half without being able to see my facial hair growing in. I try my best to shave it off, but due to the bad lighting in my house, I always end up missing patches, so it just looks even worse. Using an electric razor never gives me a decent shave, and I don't want to end up cutting my face up with a conventional razor due to my careless nature.

Seeing as how I don't feel like writing a lot for this post, I'll try to condense it as much as possible. I'll put the extended version up eventually.

Recently, I went with a few friends to the Florida Keys on vacation. While there, we went on a trip the the actual town of Key West, went sailing, deep-sea fishing, we stayed the night out on an island, we went fishing off of a bridge in the dead of night, and went snorkeling out at Loo Key, the third most dived coral reef in the world.

Last summer, I realized that I was nearing the climax (lol, innuendo) of my high school career. I realized that up to that point, I hadn't really been enjoying high school. I had been somewhat of a loner, and I didn't have many friends. I just figured that I wouldn't want to get to know anyone else anyway.

I eventually made the decision that if I was actually going to enjoy my final two years of high school, I would have to change. I decided to stop being so introverted and to get out there. I became noticeably more personable and friendly. Let me tell you, it has seriously payed off. Not only have I made a ton of new friends (in less than one school year none-the-less), but the ladies seem to be a lot more receptive of me lately.

Case and point: To those who are just coasting through highschool, not caring about anyone else, stop. If you actually intend to make friends or enjoy your life in high school in general, you need to get up and get out there. I swear to you, you will not regret it.

These are a few songs that every single person on earth needs to listen to with the volume cranked up to eleven at least once before they die.

Through the Fire and Flames, by Dragonforce
Enter Sandman, by Metallica
Glory to the Brave, by Hammerfall
Beelzeboss, by Tenacious D
Kingdom for a Heart, by Sonata Arctica
Fury of the Wild, by Hammerfall

After a enough deliberation, I've decided to add Bill Nye to the tier list, replacing Dio Brando
: The list now goes as follows:

Third Tier:
-Bill Nye
-LittleKuriboh
-Gambit

Second Tier:
-Harry Houdini
- Bruce Lee
- Herman Li

Top Tier:
-Ash Williams
-Deadpool
-Dante

I've started making a list of tiers of the greatest things/people in existence. So far, the list is a little light, and I don't mind adding anyone/anything new to it. It is most likley that no one else will ever reach the top tier however, but it's still always worth a try. If anyone comes up with someone/thing that they feel are worthy of being on the list, go ahead and suggest them. There are a few guidelines however:
-No anime characters, too many of them are "perfectly awesome" simply because the writers want them to be
- I'm not incorperating any religious figures in the list, simply to help prevent controversy
- Don't bother disputing those who are already on the list, if you don't like it, make your own list.

Alright, now on to the actual list:

Third Tier- People who are freaking awesome:
-Dio Brando
-Little Kuriboh
-Gambit (from X-Men)

Second Tier- People who are above all in awesomness:
-Harry Houdini
-Herman li
-Bruce Lee

Top Tier- Bar none, the greatest things that mankind has ever concieved:
-Dante (from Devil May Cry)
-Ash Williams (from Evil Dead)
- Deadpool

Since yesterday, I haven't been able to post on the bbs, watch flash, or pm anyone. And thanks to Tom and the Admins, my ability to do anything has been restored!

Well, the new layout is out, and love it or hate it, it's here to stay, and though honestly, I don't like it that much, we might as well learn to love it.

It's disorienting though. Suddenly, i have a lot more voting power, and my level jumped more than i'm comfortable with. Getting used to this is gonna take a while.
