London ExPo Anime Convention

Hmm so I had to wake up early (Well earlier than usual) because Me and Joe were gonna go Anime Convention @ The London ExCel. It was a faster journey to get there than expected, just one stop on The Tube from North Greenwich to Canning town, then a direct DLR ride to the place.

Once we got there, well I was treated to watching about a gazillion Naruto Cosplayers singing along to 'Haruka Kanata'. Amusing, really. You knoally easy to mix hate with pity. Did I hate them for being such wannabes, especially as they werw, it's ree all white? Or did I pity them? I questioned myself.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings, when we entered there was a HUGE QUEUE for tickets! Thankfully, his Mum's Boyfriend (Nice guy, Bad haircut) offered to line up for them, and all was well. I got some sweet pictures of some Anime/Game characters during the wait.

When we got in, it was a kind of thing you'd see on Lost, 'cause our initial response was, '...Where first?'. Thank god Sam is really fast to act, and led us straight away to different areas of the place. During this I got some awesome pictures with cosplayers (Refer to the one with Stormtroopers and Fox) and we got to see some Uber-Geeks play an official Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Tournament.

After much browsing, and calming Joe down after he had a Rabies Attack at the sight of a Pocky Stall, we finally left and had a Panini, where I saw Jason from 'Friday the 13th'. I was gonna ask him for a picture, but he looks so scary, I couldn't bring myself to it.

We went out the door, and BAM! Cosplayers, Cosplayers, and MORE COSPLAYERS! Heaven on Earth for getting Pictures taken. There was a girl dressed up as a World of Warcraft Night Elf Druid, but she looked so sad. There was a huge frown on her face and she looked real upset. But I did manage to get a picture of her, and when I saw her upclose, she wasn't really sad, it was just that her eyebrows were shaped to point downwards, and that was made her look really upset. We saw the whole Kingdom Hearts cast have a fight, which was quite amusing. Got some more pictures with cosplayers, noticably Lulu from Final Fantasy X.

Several pictures later, we left, and I thought to myself, 'That was a nice day.'

Here I am! Once again!

Goddamned Emo Wannabes

Alright, so you've got the tight female shirts from Primark, the ridculous lime-green 'Emo' frames your granny found in Oxfam and the damn super tight black jeans you found in the corner of the Girl's section of H&M.

What else? Well you're a white faggot who manages to scrape the tiniest flaw in your middle-class life, and then you create a melodrama about how depressed and tormented you are. You think, 'Oh I'm so emo I cut myself'. Well FACE THE FACTS YOU FAGGOTS! I BET YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT EMO MEANS!

For fags like Ben Legg out there who think 'Oh I'm too emo, even though I have no problems, and I get £30 a week.', I say FUCK YOU! You think Emo is so cool and all you ever talk about is 'Autumn' 'Knife' 'Bleeding' 'Pain' and, the trademark of emo wannabes, 'Razor'.

It's you people who make me SICK.

If Emo means 'Emotional' then everyone is a fucking Emo. Happy people are 'Emotional', depressed people are 'Emotional' everyone is!

Now onto the real meaning.
It stands for EMOTIVE HARDCORE you damned fuckers!
Try reading http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=emo
And see what it really means.

End of Rant ;P

Monopolization

On a day full of boredom, I decided to see if the same business strategies used the world today would be as efficient in World of Warcraft. So I tried to monopolize an entire market that was high in demand on my server, Haomarush.

Monopolization is an strategy what was formerly used by a dominant or wealthier competitor to wipe out the entire market. They would completely buy out the entire market, thus allowing them to reset the prices and, consequently, forcing buyers to accept there prices, which could be 200% higher, or in some cases I have come across, 850% higher. This technique was made illegal in the US to entitle the smaller competitors to have a fair chance, and so the power was evenly distributed. Although banned, this law is often infringed.

The only consequence I predicted was hatred.

To begin, I decided to see if I could completely monopolize the demand for Wool Cloth. I bought out the entire stock of Wool Cloth from the Auction House, in World Of Warcraft, for, on average, 45 silver per stack.

I then auctioned my entire stock of Wool Cloth which was 12 (From the AH) + another 9 (From instance runs), totalling 21. The market was completely bare, so I was free to set my own prices, and I increased the price by nearly 230%, to 100 silver (1 Gold). I hoped that my high prices would not suffocate the demand, but the current demand looked promising.

The next day, I checked my auctions, to find that all my Auctioned items had sold. That was 21 Gold! A whole 11 Gold and 55 Silver profit. As predicted, I did recieve a message saying, 'You're a rich $%^. Stop it.'

I have decided I will carry on this experimentation of real business strategies in World of Warcraft. Keep tuning in! Same website! Same web page!

The concept of Monopolization is indeed a powerful one.

Religon and Society

What do religions do in our lives? Not just believers of gods, but atheists too?
Well, they all have different aims, but here is what lies underneath their Holy Books.

1.Convert Atheists into believers of THEIR God.
2. Make Money, in a disguised form. (Oh yes, this money you are donating will be used to fix this ancient chapel (Woohoo, Champagne for me tonight))
3. To make sure that their Religion is the one most popular in their country

Society and Religion are like two big gangs. So you have Society (Science) and Religion.

But there's only one crucial difference.

When a scientifically proved theory is proved wrong, a new theory is created soon after. But when a Religion is proved wrong, it dies out.

When Religion and Society clash, (Think Musilm Extremists) terror is born.

So, why do believers of (a) God/s, do so?
What evidence have they got?
They criticize the Big Bang theory as being Blasphamy, but what about themselves?
We state the we believe that Religion is an illusion, and we get told that we are 'disrespecting theor beliefs', but they seem to see it as okay to criticize OUR beliefs.

Okay, okay, I have no problem with Christians, Muslims ect., but I don't believe that there is a god.

But what can we do in this society we live in? Absolutely nothing.
Because this century is full of assholes, bullshit, and morally incorrect things.

A touch of culture

Things I have written while I yearn for a less misread concept of life, that our corrupted society with live in has trapped us in.

Forgotten Memories
Going to Newer Places,
Remembering traces,
Of Forgotten Memories.

The puzzle will be complete,
Piece by Piece,
Like falling autumn leaves.

Ponderings of my mind

Chefs come into my mind as I type this. The journey the go through usually ends in tragedy. They hold their hopes high as they apply for a job at the local fast food branch. As they take their orders, the people shout 'NACHOS NOW!' or 'MAKE ME A SAMMICH!' in a very unsophisticated manner, and they just shake their head in disgust, and say, 'This is no use for the skills I can provide'. What can they do? Either do as their told, wasting their talent, doing the same thing a 15-year old spotty teen working at McDonalds can do or lose their job. But nothing can save these people. The all suffer the same fate.

McDonalds is a problem for these skilled chefs. They employ teenagers, incapable of doing difficult tasks, and willing to do a dirty job, for very little pay. Most of us now don't even eat 'Real' cooking. McDonalds proudly hold up the reputation for serving 100 billion customers. Cooking is no longer a luxury, it's now just a company.

In the 15th century, we didn't have any of these fast food companies, that have sprug up in the recent years. Most of us would of been a knight or a farmer. We still managed to eat. We now don't learn life skills, partly because we don't need to, and partly because we spend most of our early life in school. How has this changed us? Well we live longer for a start, and our lifestyle is more sophisticated.

Well, living longer is a great thing, but at what cost? We spend most of our life working or studying, which, unless you love doing so, we don't enjoy. We buy happiness in the form of material possessions, but at the cost of working for the money to buy it. Is a pair of jeans really worth the unhappiness we get from working for a week? We don't seem to have a real purpose, life is now a chore, whether you realize it or not.

Why don't we just destroy the whole 'Society' and go back to being a little more natural? No more possessions to buy, no more work to make ourselves unhappy. We would spend our time being much more happy overall.
