Picture this. It's the release date part 3 of your favorite movie saga and you rush to the nearest retail store to pick it up. As you approach the store clerk about getting your movie he or she hands you a blu-ray copy. You declined politely and ask for the dvd version as the last two of the movie series were on dvd. He or she tells you it's only exclusive to blu ray for the time being but you tell him or her you don't have a blu ray player and that dvd play is all you have. Now you are forced to buy not only a blu ray player but the movie on blu ray as well; which can most of the time be pricy.
Now picture this. You're playing your favorite video game series on Ps2, XBox, GameCube, Wii PS3 or Xbox360 and E3 comes along and the next installment of your favorite video game is announced and the release date is given. Suddenly you are so excited you ejaculate out your ears with anticipation and suddenly your whole world come crashing down when they announce is going to be exclusive on another console system that you do not own. You put your face to palm asking yourself "Say it ain't so?" Now not only are you forced to dish extra money for a new console you are also forced to dish out extra on the game of your favorite series as well.
Folks if you with me on this one then you agree that if you start a series on one console, then there really isn't any reason to bring on another console unless its sole purpose is because the other console is an upgraded version of its predecessor. Prime example of this would be the Kingdom Heart series. This series has jumped ship so many times I don't think anything anyone even remembers it began on the PlayStation Two. Then the series took weird turn and went to game boy advanced (Chain Of Memories) then the game boy advanced version (Re-chain Of Memories) went back to PlayStation 2, then a filler (365/2) went to Nintendo DS, then the a prequel to Kingdom Hearts known as Birth By Sleep went to PlayStation Portable and then we went back to Nintendo DS with Re:coded and now we're going to Nintendo 3DS for Dream Drop Distance. So to recap what one would have to buy: PS2, GameBoy Advanced, Nintendo DS, PSP and a Nintendo 3DS to play the entire series. I gotta say folks talk about Disney and Square Enix lifting you upside down and shaking you for every penny you got. Now one can only wonder where Kingdom Hearts 3 will end up. My bet is Wii U. This really financially sucks for people like us of the series who because of Disney and Squares disloyalty to Sony is forcing fans to jump from console to hand held console just to enjoy the series but I for one will not be penny pinched anymore. I've given up on the series and its future and turned my full attention to Final Fantasy for my RPG fix.

I dedicate this to someone who's going through something I probably couldn't come within a fraction of relating too or understanding. Life always throws at us things we never expect. Things we can't understand and no matter how many questions we ask we're still left confused and frustrated because bad things happening to good people just doesn't sit right with us. This poem I call Aspire because we all want a bad scenarios to have a good outcome becuase it we all desire and strive toward it in that moment more then anything else in the world.
Oh dormant life in this vessel that refuses to come out
How long must I wait by my other half's side until you sprout?
Like a farmer I've nurtured this fertile vessel that is your earth
Now and forever I stay here and await for your rebirth
Oh I've shed so many tears as if to water you like a seed
To my forehead I place my palms vertically and plead
That you take up naturally where artificial is now bound
Her voice is the euphoria that my ears yearn for her sound
So when this comes into fruition I will lay her down on my rug
Passion fully expressed through touch, kisses and a hug
Examiners lack optimism and tell me to pull the plug
But in sickness and in health are those I long ago vow
To sever your lifeline is something I will not fathom now
So I will wait right here as I touch her palm to my cheek
Until the day life awakes as that is what I now seek
Oh dormant life in this vessel that refuses to come out
How long must I wait by my other half's side until you sprout?
Like a farmer I've nurtured this fertile vessel that is your earth
Now and forever I stay here and await for your rebirth
Oh I've shed so many tears as if to water you like a seed
To my forehead I place my palms vertically and plead
That you take up naturally where artificial is now bound
Her voice is the euphoria that my ears yearn for her sound
So when this comes into fruition I will lay her down on my rug
Passion fully expressed through touch, kisses and a hug
Examiners lack optimism and tell me to pull the plug
But in sickness and in health are those I long ago vow
To sever your lifeline is something I will not fathom now
So I will wait right here as I touch her palm to my cheek
Until the day life awakes as that is what I now seek
I’m sure most of you by now have scene or heard of the ripple effect the “Occupy Wall Street” has had all over the world with people doing the same in their on cities. Some are peaceful but others have turned to riots. I respect that people are fed up with economic issues in their own countries and want to come to some sort of resolution to this but really folks, is this “Occupying” really going to change the state of the economic world? I know some of you may say ‘They have a right to protest’ ‘Some of these people were driven out of their homes by the bankers’ ‘These corporate crocks need to be showed that the people be played by their corruption anymore’ I agree with all the above but do you honestly think that these corporate fat cats are going to have a sudden change of heart after seeing hundreds possibly thousands camping outside their building. The banks and corporations will never be swayed in any way shape or form if it doesn’t give them any financial gain. They couldn’t care less of you let alone your family dieing as result of the economic crisis. Yet these bankers and corporations are deep in the pockets of the politicians that we the people have elected. Can change really happen? Who knows but I can tell you now the way the world is now with this “Occupation” change is not going to come because we only have our voices to speak out while they have the politicians, the money and the law on their side which is they can say “I’m big, you’re small, I’m right, you’re wrong, I’m smart, you’re dumb and there is nothing you can do about it”
I don't even know where to start I'm between angered and surprised. Anyways this morning while I was doing my laundry I got a knock at the door. I answer to find my land lord telling me someone was going to be "Looking" at the house. At first I was shocked by what he said and then someone from behind him makes an appearance that I recognized. It was Meat Shop Owner/ Butcher that I always by my meat from. His was taken a back when he saw me in plain sight and said something like "I'm sorry I can't do this I have to go" to my land lord and the next minuet my land lord steps out of the house and walks off towards the butcher. I watch from the window as they argue but the were so far I couldn't make out what they were saying. So they both get in each of their cars and drive off. Later that evening I went to butcher shop to get some answers so I decided to buy some lean ground beef to make it look like I was shopping rather then investigating. The moment I walked in and the owner saw my face he apologized profusely saying "I had no idea you lived there I swear I'm not gonna buy it, I respect you and you are like a son to me" I was shocked by the word 'Buy'. Apparently he elaborated and my land lord is selling the property I live on. He gave me no notice, he didn't tell his real-estate agent to for warn me about the house going on the market. This sneaky son of bitch was going sell this house and give me a 60 day notice get the fuck out. I want to literally curb stomp this mother fucker. I have had to put up with a lot shit with this land lord becuase he takes years to fix things. For example the on January 2010 I told him replace the bottom piping in the of kitchen sink because they are so rusted that when I do the dishes water leaks all over the floor from under the sink and I have to mop it all up every time. It took him to send someone out until September 2010 after more then several calls. In the mean time I was forced to use the bathroom sink to clean the dishes. The stoves coils shot out (1995 model stove), the tumble dryers turbine broke (1992 dryer) fridge engine blew (1997 ridge). The list goes on and I waited 5 years for all these to be replaced. I have no choice at this point but to move. I can't take it anymore I don't want to go jail for going ape shit on this guy but I don't want to be taken for chump any longer. I'm just pissed that this sneaky bastard would go behind my back and does this. Anyways excuse my language but today has been biggest WTF of 2011 for me.
This piece was inspired by a young man who stayed strong through defamatory statement of others:
Title: Label
He looks like a drag
Queen or maybe he's a fag
That's what they say
Behind my back everyday
Body wise I am pretty lean
Which is why I wear skinny jeans
And my shirt fits so tight
Which in my eyes feels right
But they think of me as low
So they label me an Emo
But no cuts or blood could ever flow
From these wrists, the only flow that they don't know
About are the tears that stream from my eyes
Because my emotions take me by surprise
When I reminisce and realize
The pain that happens to the people around me, so listen
Take a moment to envision
A boy at the age of nine
Whose life was far from fine
Everyday he sits by his daddy's bed side
This emotional pain inside
His heart as his father is dieing from cancer
He asks why? But no one, not even God can answer
So when his father was put in casket made of wood
And buried six feet under, the boy made good
On a promise, that going forward good tidings
To all would be a rule he would be abiding
By as it would be his creed
To always help those in need
But they don't know that about my life
They don't even know the meaning of the word strife
Because I lived the definition and while they smoke pot
While partying on weekends, I'm busy cooking a pot
Of chicken soup for these poor souls
Who come to me and hold out their bowls
See these are the ones who come out of there holes
In the back alleys and slumps that society turns a blind eye too
But I opened my eyes to these few
That smell of piss and shit
Cause bathing to them is nothing, they rather take a hit
From a syringe but I want to show them I can make it better
As I pour this soup in their bowl in this busy shelter
To help the homeless but that's not my only bliss
Those who ridicule me miss
The fact that my name is known in every hospital room
Because beside every patients bed is a flower that blooms
That I gave to them to show my appreciation because they fight
What sickness tries to kill them like my father did with all his might
And I sit there by their bedside and I am reminded why I am here
The vow I made could never feel more real and clear
This is my glory
From serving soup to sitting beside a sick child and reading them a story
Even when I loose one of them to the reaper, I never feel deprived
But through the loss I pull myself together and arrive
To help them no matter what the cost
Because through them I am reminded of what I lost
Yet those who ridicule me, call me Emo
And they don't even know
Why my emotions run deep
Cause when I close my eyes I weep
Because in my dreams I see those I see suffering in my sleep
If you could feel the weight
Of my emotions for just a moment you would suffocate
Under the pressure and physiologically break, I am only human you see
So stop calling me
By derogatory words like drag
Queen, fag or emo because my life right now is good and stable
Without the need of your defamatory labels

Another day another dollar, just picked up my copy of Arkham City and 9.5 out of 10 is an understatement score for this game. This game is a 10 in my eyes.
