Yeah, summer is pretty much done now. Tomorrow we'll all be back at school ^^ This rarely happens but I just want to skip a day of playing games to go to school early =="!
Haiz, I hope our new teachers are nice. The new schedule seems confusing but of course it'll work out somehow (hope nobody goes to the wrong classes and stuff).
That's all, randomly feel like posting here since I re-checked Ms. Patrice's new bell schedule post...
HAVE A NICE LAST-DAY-OF-SUMMER (SUNDAY)!!!!!!!

Response to comment (yeah I'm bored...)
Well, since it's like 10:47, and the iPod won't allow me to paste what I wrote as a comment, I'll just copy that and use it as a new post, here goes:
@Owner and Maria: Thank you for your agreement.
@Mary: I see what you mean, however, you seemed to misunderstood the part with killing in-game. I never said that killing in game doesn't reward anything, in fact, it's the rewards for killing that keeps the gamers playing. As I said, "most gamers" here, obviously meant most, I don't recall mentioning "all gamers are responsible". And with that, I think I can conclude that my post is solely an opinion, but it's not an unfair argument, because I still left open ends for different cases and possibilities like gamers who might lack understanding and responsibility, and I haven't use much bias in my post, because I'm just reasoning the obvious and the logic I see. Thank you for your comment.

David Grossman Article Homework
I mostly disagree with David Grossman. Games may possibly leads some obsessed violence gamers to actual killing, but that is not common, most violence video gamers are, as I said in the last homework, responsible enough to understand that real-life killing won't gain them anything, and thus will only result in bad consequences. Also, I can agree with him that most video games nowadays are based on military, but that doesn't mean they would be desensitized of killing like soldiers in training. I can use myself for an example, and many other gamers I know, they still feel disgusted when they see movies where real actors act out killing scenes, or horrible bloodbath scenes, even if they know it's fake blood, they still fear it. They don't feel good about killing real people, it only reliefs them when they kill in the game. Why? It's because that it gets them closer to their objective, if the game rewards nothing for killing people, then they wouldn't have done it from the start.
In conclusion, I mostly disagree with David Grossman, that's my opinion as a gamer, that video games don't really lead to real life killing.

Homework On Video Games
Question: Should 12 and 13 years old children be allowed to play any video games they want?
My answer: No, I don't think so, because the video games could affect their lives. For example, a boy could play "Call of Duty: Black Ops" all day, then he could possibly goes mad and think of, or want to actually take on the action and violence in the games. Play any video games they want could also lead to emotional problems, like constantly having cases of depression, getting short-tempered, or frustrated when not able to play the games that they want. However, there are exceptions, most 12 and 13 years old nowadays are responsible and thoughtful enough to understand that all they're playing are just entertainments, and the one and only goal of the video games are to make them feel relaxed, not inspire them to do the same as it is in the games.
In conclusion, I don't think that all 12 and 13 years old boys or girls should play any games they want, but they could as long as they understand what's good for them, and what's not.

Carpet Boy's Gift
I think many rights of the children were abused in the story. However, I think the most important one, and was also mention, as a part of the story, is the right "Every children have the right to learn how to read and write (Education". In the story, I think it was very sad that the author mention "...if he could read it", as in, the main character couldn't read. The right to not be harmed or hurt was also abused, it was cruel to see that. But those elements make us feel a great sign of relief at the end of the story, only to know, the main character walked out to the outside world, where they should be.

My Favorite Song!
My favorite song is Your Call by Secondhand Serenade.
The end.
(No wait that feels wrong...oh I have to write why I like it and have a link...alright here goes.)
I really like this song because it was one of the first actual English songs that I listened to and understood, this song came out when I was in 4th or 5th grade I think. Thus, it makes me recall a lot of memories of my friends back then, especially the one that showed me this song. It was so good the first time I listened to it, it is currently out of my 25 most played songs list, but I did play it 1364 times, which is a very high number. The song talks about, well the very common subject, love. However, Secondhand Serenade's songs are all guitar-based, that is what I really like about his songs, and the chorus goes...
It is in fact very romantic, and I love the slow-paced singing, the melody is easy to catch up to, the lyrics are easy to understand, that's why I really liked it when I was in elementary.
Now, for the long-awaited actual video / song:

Cause I was born, to tell you I love you
and I am torn, to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
