It seems to me that every video on my favourites, and every video I have ever watched has been removed from under my nose. South Park, Jeff Dunham, and many more of my video pleasures have been removed from YouTube. I suppose this is due to copyright violation, but why are these videos getting removed now? Is it because Google now owns it? Because I remember a time when YouTube was not so strict on video policy.
Anyways, I’m looking for a new video website… because in my opinion, YouTube now sucks.
How do you feel about YouTube? Comments are always welcome.

Teachers are beginning to become a bunch of babies. A bunch of politically correct stuck up babies. I honestly believe there is some sort of control and power they feel- maybe its revenge for having been picked on as a child- or maybe they are just grumpy. In any case, there is a serious issue as to who are getting hired. Now, when I say “teachers” I’m not referring to the nice ones. I’ve had some extremely nice teachers before, this is not about them.
This is about the No-Hats-Or-Hoods policy that is being enforced in most schools. For those of you who don’t know, this comes from a very middle-old english rule of etiquette. It is said that removing ones hat while indoors was a sign of respect, showing that you were not challenging the authority of the master of the building or home. Similarly, this tradition later evolved into “tipping” your hat, and removing it while in the presence of a lady. And now it has infected our schools.
I’ve heard all the excuses:
- It can be construed as a gang sign/symbol
- It can be used for cheating
- It is distracting
I’m sorry Mr. Man, but heres the truth- if its a gang symbol, then I guess just about everyone is in a gang, and the chains some wear in the hall I suppose mean you are in a Pony club. If a hat can be used for cheating, so can a shoe! So can a shirt! A pant-leg! Even the desk itself! And talk about distracting! Have you seen some of the kids walking in our high school halls? Please, my hat is less distracting than that horrendous bubble-gum pink afro the senior girl at the front of class has.
Now this has gone too far, it sounds as if I’m begging for school uniforms- but I’m not, quite the opposite… Its just, I believe that pointless rules such as the no hats rules should be removed. I mean, at least the no gum rule makes sense, this one completely baffles me.
Does anyone disagree/agree with me? Please, leave comments.

I’m sure we’ve all heard of games such as World of Warcraft, City of Heroes, and Guildwars- but when it comes to MMORPGs [Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games], I believe Fly For Fun is at least in the top five, easy. This game, like some of the others listed, is very fun to play- and most certainly addicting. However, unlike most MMORPGs, this one is free to play.It also has events almost every week ensuring your enjoyment of the game.
Who knows? You may even be invited to join one of the guilds and get a sweet guild cape within the first day!The learning curve for this game is about fifteen to thirty minutes tops by which time you will already be enjoying yourself so much you will have forgotten to keep track of the time the learning curve takes, as I did while my friend was over playing the game.
Trust me, FlyFF is a must try for everyone. The fruit of your efforts? Millions of sweet Penya in your pocket.
P.S. Penya is FlyFF’s currency.

Recently I watched a movie called Pan’s Labyrinth, directed by Guillermo del Torro. IT WAS FANTASTIC! I am usually one of those people who, when asked what their favourite movie is, cannot answer because there are too many favourites. But this movie has jumped right to my number one absolutely favourite movie.
The movie is about a girl named Ofelia and her mother, who is very pregnant, and their stay at Ofelia’s soon-to-be-father’s place. But while there, the girl meets a faun in an ancient labyrinth, which meeting soon unfolds into the most enchanting horror-fantasy film I have seen in my life. I won’t reveal any more secrets (I would not want to ruin it for anyone!) but I will say that anyone who watches this movie will not regret it.
The only thing to keep in mind before getting this movie is that it is a foreign film en Español meaning you will need to read the subtitles if you want to understand what is going on. But please, dont let it deter you from getting this truly one-of-a-kind film.
