Never Mind There ARE Troubles at Arsenal

So I stood up for Arsene Wenger last week in my article Are There Any Troubles at Arsenal? and now he just goes and make me look like an idiot with that SHOCKING performance. Now, I'm a Man United fan, but even I would never have thought that United would've scored eight goals! And some of them, to be fair, were pretty spectacular, especially the 2 Rooney free-kicks and the Ashley Young long shots-that one could be the Paul Scholes of the future!

Evil Teachers

Omfg don't you hate it when teachers screw you up?

Like on Monday in gym class, we were playing bench ball (soccer with benches as nets. Sounds like fun eh? =P) and, once, in a solitary epic duel, I accidentally shoved her over on the ground. It actually wasn't that rough, but that person dived like an Italian and, after the game finished, the teacher heard me laughing about it. For one, I apologized. For two, it was almost purely an accident. But I got called over and was subjected to this uber-long lecture about "fair play", lying (o.o) and the teacher even criticized my tone of voice. Later when I got back, my friend Owen, who follows this blog, told me that that teacher told her entire class about me, saying I had "attitude problems" and all that crap.

>:(

By the way, this is my first post with 3 tags.

TV Shows and Why They're Failing

I just watched an Asian drama! =D.

It was actually a movie about that old Chinese story of the orphan of Zhao, when some evil insane guy kills all of the family of Zhao except one baby survives and that baby grows up and kills that evil guy. Typical good vs. evil story.

Except that the movie made it even simpler and unrealistic. Instead of the orphan hating the evil guy, he grows to view him as a father figure and still ends up killing him just to resolve the plot =/.

Don't you just hate it when a movie scraps a perfectly good story for some flashy special effects and a chance for celebs to show themselves? Well, if you don't, you should.

Like the Twilight Saga movies. I've personally never read the Twilight books, but I heard they were really good. Over the summer, I did watch Eclipse and it was the worst movie ever: the only good part was when Jacob says to Edward "I'm obviously hotter than you." which, I admit, cracked me up. But other than that it was a disastrous excuse of a movie.

Oh and what about The Golden Compass? It actually had something resembling a plot, but in the end the movie ends on a cliffhanger when Lyra mentions a "war" and then.....the credits roll.

-.- Yeah not the best ending you'll ever see.

Harry Potter was among the better books-turned-movies. The first, second and third ones were all very enjoyable, but in the fourth one (Goblet of Fire, for the noobs who don't know) Dobby the epic house-elf doesn't even get mentioned. He even gives Harry the Gillyweed for the Second Task! There were more inaccuracies, and from there, the franchise went on a nosedive that only revived itself in Deathly Hallows Part 1, and even then they add random crap that wasn't even in the book (like Harry and Hermione dancing, for example).

My opinion concerning books-turned-movies are: the more you stick to the plot, the better. But sadly the Hollywood guys don't agree and scrap excellent stories that are bound to captivate audiences into just a random husk of a plot plus some 54th-generation special effects.

The rot has even got into TV shows. Like, for instance, Global TV's Survivor. I started watching Survivor in season 19: Samoa, where Russell Hantz just bossed the entire game and should have won over that dumb blonde Natalie. I thought it was pretty good, but when I went on YouTube to watch some old season 4 episodes, I was shocked to see how more realistic they were. The old Survivor was about, well, survival plus some awesome strategy and blindsides. The modern Survivor is just about strategy and blindsides. Russell is just a prime example of this. You never see him chopping wood and providing for his tribe, but you always see him strategizing with everyone and trying to further his own game.

Don't get me wrong, TV's not entirely fake. There are just some fine specimens of shows out there. On Global TV there was this epicly amazing show called 24, with all the action happening in one day and even a clock to show the exact time. But 24 got cancelled after its 8th season, and I can't really think of a replacement for it.

So basically this is why TV is falling and the computer is rising. The TV shows are all just some flashy special effects and no storyline at all. They aren't real. Computers, meanwhile, allow you to create something real, so that's why they're on the rise. So soon all TV will be good for is watching the World Cup once every four years and some other sports games.

Or playing video games =D.

Don't You Hate It When...

1, You realize you forget your homework right when you get to school?

2. You get stuck with some stupid guy for a project and you end up doing 98% of the work?

3. The aforementioned stupid guy tells your teacher that HE did all the work and you end up getting a bad mark?

4. You finish typing a 10-page essay and then your computer crashes?

5. Somebody calls you a "geek" just because you know the 13th digit of pi? (it's 9, by the way)

6. People think...

6.1. Mac is better than Windows?

6.2. Xbox is better than PlayStation?

7. Somebody hates on you for no reason?

8. Fingernails screech against blackboards?

Yeah just a short incomplete list of my pet hates =)

MAINSTREAMAAAAS

If you don't know that I'm gifted right now then you are at the same intelligence level as an ant.

And the mainstreamers in our school are so weird!

For example, they don't know how to play pen-and-paper Battleship (they think they can split up the ship -,-#) and their teachers interact with them in a much more casual way than our teacher does with us -,-.

Like our teacher forbids us from calling those kids as "mainstreamers" but the mainstreamer teachers allow them to call us "gifted kids" and "smart people" and another dozen that I'm too lazy to name.

It is just really really really annoying that they can say "Going to do some math?" while we can't say "Shut up dumb****!".
