Don't mind the title, it's just part of a quote I got from the movie Philadelphia. The entire quote is "The Federal Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination against otherwise qualified handicapped persons who are able to perform the duties required by their employment. Although the ruling did not address the specific issue of HIV and AIDS discrimination, subsequent decisions have held that AIDS is protected as a handicap under law, not only because of the physical limitations it imposes, but because the prejudice surrounding AIDS exacts a social death which precede... which precedes the actual, physical one. This is the essence of discrimination: formulating opinions about others not based on their individual merits, but rather on their membership in a group with assumed characteristics."
I thought I'd try and start the majority of posts hereafter with a quote, not necessarily pertaining to the rest of the post or even me. Just things I think that we should all keep in mind.
Anywho, video time! This is another one of the random pieces of intelectually deprived crap I found on youtube...however, I'm compelled to make something similar to an equally made-fun-of game. (Metal Gear Solid?) If you can make it past the first minute of annoying cosplaying girls, you should be able to see some humor in it. I hope. I have a life. >:L
My Favorite parts...
"Don't open the box. It'll explode."
"Ok."
-
"You're such a mistake."
"*sob*"
-
"So, is the game going to, like, start anytime soon?" (Coming from a Naruto fan makes it that much better...)
-
"'So what are you afraid of?' Getting old..."
"Being different."
"*laugh*"
Ok, enough of that...
If you know of my friend Katana, you already know that our band is going to New Orleans. If you don't, well, our band is going to New Orleans. And so am I. We leave next Wednesday. Eight days!! Our actual purpose for going down is to compete in a national competition for band (and chorus, they're tagging along as well.) While we are down there, we are going to be volunteering in humanitarian services, and taking tours and walks in both wetlands and New Orleans. We'll also be seeing the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (way cool) and going on a riverboat. And however cool all this stuff is, I have a feeling the most memorable and entertaining parts of the trip are going to be when nothing is happening. Such as the bus rides (they will be long) and free time (hopefully) in the hotel. Although I'm not a big camera guy, I have a feeling I'm going to need to record some of these things on video/image. So my goal for pre-Wednesday is to obtain a 2gig sd card for my half-assed Canon Powershot A520. If I do, you may or may not see some interesting things from down south.
I'm sure discretion will be advised.
Ooh, I still need an image... how's this?
That sizzle you hear is a pig frying, not sodium!!
