Things I notice...

I can't help but ponder the many great mysteries of the universe in my daily life, and here's a handfull of "Things" that make me wonder:

Why are so very few foods blue?





Unless you count food-colored food like Kool-Aid and "Blue-Raspberry" flavored food (Raspberries aren't blue, people!), not many foods are sky-colored. All a part of God's plan I suppose...



On my high-protien diet, I noticed that my Cliff Bar of the day was labeled as "Chocolate Brownie" Duh. How many brownies have YOU eaten that AREN'T CHOCOLATE RELATED?





Regarding Microsoft's control over potentially offensive GamerTags, someone on Kotaku stated that "Heterosexuality is a popular assumption. Homosexuality is considered an alternative. A straight male doesn't have to go out of his way to let women know that he is straight. "




Why the Hell would a gay person have a need to go out of his/her/it's way to let anyone know it's gay- ON AN ONLINE CONSOLE?! If it's labeled by Microsoft offensive for someone to write something in their profile about their sexual preferences, that's perfectly fine. It's not a dating service, not a soapbox, and not everyone accepts homosexuality. Get over it.


If Microsoft went about banning people for openly being what they physically ARE, like Asian, wheel chair bound, or really tall, that would be an unforgiveable abomination. People choose their food, clothing, sexuality and Pokemon like so many other things in life. Speaking of that...


Why have Pokemon gone more and more geometric over the years?




I loved designs like Kingler, Nidoking and Pinsir, but since the Jewled Game Boy Advance editions I've noticed that creatures like Groudon, Sharpedo and Banette are too "Shapely". I really thought it was cool to have monster-like MONSTERS to beat the crap out of other monsters. I don't hate the new pokemon or anything, Shedinja's REALLY cool! (No, I'm serious!) It's just been bugging me that the Pokemon series has been in need of an overhaul of the entire set-up for a LONG TIME NOW.





Why haven't you downloaded Banjo-Tooie for Xbox Live? :P I did!


See you all on Friday, and look below to see if I've gotten the Dragonfly Lawn Care cards up...
