Not thoughts at 3AM, but rather thoughts on the idea of 3AM. Well, I'll get to that in a sec. First thing's first.
I didn't realize that the last two articles I commented on were written by the same person. They were found through different means on different days. Putting them together makes me sad. It paints a story of complaining about guys she dates and why she dumped them, while complaining also that other guys she has dated have dumped her. And in both situations feeling that the other party is at fault.
So, back to the topic at hand, 3AM. I don't like it. It's the time I realize that I'm in for a terrible morning. Either I'm not going to go to sleep until 5AM, or I'm not going to sleep. Before 3AM I have the choice of sleeping at any point I wish, but once 3AM rolls around I get a second wind. I'm sure the time varies for everyone, but it's at 3AM that I realize I'm not going to get a full night's sleep. Some people like the fact that they can feel awake a second time. I, on the other hand, wish that my body would say, "NO! Fuck you! Go the fuck to sleep! Right now!" Unfortunately, it says, "Well, you've made it this far. Just take another 2 hours while you're at it..." It's almost as spiteful as I am. Stupid body... Stop acting like me.
Haha! Writing things at stupid hours of the days makes me realize things about myself I'd rather not know. I would really like my body to act like something sensible, rather than like me. 3AM should just be taken off of the clock. There should be 2AM, and then just have 5AM 3 hours later, with nothing in between. Mostly because that's how it feels to me. 2AM should have 180 minutes packed into it. It wouldn't really change anything anyways. Everyone else who's even awake at that time would be just like me, in that they also wish they weren't so. And by "so" I mean "awake," not "like me." Everyone should wish to be like me, because I'm awesome.
Anyways, yes Specter, we should trade FF Dissidia friend cards. I've already beaten about 8 stories. Actually, I could even do one of my fancy reviews on Dissidia. Especially since it's a game that I like, and is rather unique in its execution, like most other games I talk about. Expect that eventually. Like after the next 6 month break from this blog.

Lose All of Your Faith in Humanity
Wow... This is unsettling.
So, what's the best thing you could do for young impressionable people? I think that the best thing you could do would be to tell people that dating nice people is a bad thing. /sarcasm
How could anyone accept this piece. It seems like it is written in seriousness. This makes me sad.
You feel like a terrible person because you shat on someone nice. Your solution is to not date nice people. This is the wrong solution. You will not enjoy your life if you date not nice people. If you are a nice person, getting shit on by others won't make you love your life.
The solution should be to date nice people and not shit on them! How is this hard to figure out? You can like that nice person. You can like him and even have him like you back. You can find him spineless and try to help him with decisions. It may not even be that he's indecisive. It just looks like that to you because he wants you to make whatever decisions make you happy. So you're indecisive too? That doesn't give you a right to criticize him. In fact, that gives you even less reason to criticize him. You should understand that he suffers from something you yourself have failed to overcome.
Or, you can be a dickhead. Surround yourself with terrible people. That way, no one will ever be better than you. Then you can be proud of being the best... of a group in which no one should ever be proud of themselves. Great job. Just never associate yourself with me.

You Should Stop Being so Snobby
This link is snotty, supercilious, and pretentious. Read it if you want to feel like shit for not having done anything wrong.
So apparently, if you don't read, you are stupid. I know there's a trend, but I wouldn't call myself a reader. On the other hand, I do appreciate a good plot and have a rather extensive vocabulary. I'm even decent at spelling. I wouldn't call my self a genius, but I am educated to an extent.
So I read this piece. I wouldn't call it an article, but piece suits it well. It's a piece geared towards men and written in a very Johnathon Swift air. How many of you read books? If I know my audience (all two of you) I would say there isn't one among you that doesn't. However, how many of you had to Google Johnathon Swift before you remember what he wrote? How many of you remembered what A Modest Proposal is once you saw the title as the Google result. I would like to posit, that perhaps you aren't necessarily smarter than a non-reader, just because you read.
I am not saying that trends don't exist, but this is stereotyping, as much as it is to say that Jews are good with money. Only, this stereotype is insulting to people who don't find books to be their medium of choice. Worse yet, if you say things about race or religion you will be reprimanded, while if you say things about choice of medium you will be encouraged. One of the best examples is how current media has no respect for video games. Yes, there are brutally violent video games, but there are also brutally violent movies, TV shows, radio broadcasts, and even books. There are in fact piece of literature that are far more disgusting than any game I've ever played. I play games continuously. I have dreams, pleasant subconscious symphonies, about Tetris or Mario (and sometimes both together). When I have nightmares, it's about books. One vivid memory is that caused by a line from Battle Royale. This piece of literature is disgusting. I see no redeeming value in it. Yet, I would be ridiculed for enjoying the plot of Bioshock while anyone who read this piece of trash called a book would be seen as better than me for improving themselves by reading. This is an infuriating double standard.
Finally the Government accepts video games as an art form, and the response we get is that they're using tax payer dollars (which they aren't because the art grants are privately funding) to enforce Call of Duty (which they aren't because only artful projects will be eligible for grants). The public response to banned books is to read them because "books shouldn't be censored."
The current stigma needs to be fixed. I say fixed because I think it's currently broken. Terribly grotesque books should be called out. Video games should be recognized as beneficial. Where is the justice in the current system? Oh wait, I'm once again assuming that people are smart. Well, they must be, since so many people read books. At least, this is what I'm led to believe if this piece is to be believed.
