Warning
Alright guys, so the previous entry "Flipside of Friendship" was just a thought about friendship. I was thinking about the dark side of friendship, following the recent themes of this Harbinger's Diaries.

If vampires were real, what would our world be like? Would we be cowering in the shadows, masking our scent and donning religious symbols all over us? Would they look like what they have been designed to look like: colorless, faint, beautiful but dead?
For all we know maybe they really do exist. They're already in our systems. They're already sucking on the life blood of our economies. And the major blame of this so called "recession".
It's us.
We're the vampires of this so called fantasy. We've been sucking away the blood of the economy, hoarding it and not allowing it to flow. Our collective logical thinking brought about one big problem, the paradox of thrift! And still we won't start to let the blood flow unless we see others do so. No one will start the move. We all want to save it for ourselves. That's what we are. We are vampires in this world economy.

So it has finally started to rain today. It's been a while. Everything looks so nice and refreshing. The leaves look clean and well fed I must say. The weather is finally better.
It's so nice listening to nature's little concert. Drip, drip, pitter, patter, and then again, there's the 'natural' disorder of the cars passing by sending the squishing sounds and splashing of water, and mud everywhere. Occasionally the thunder drums in the background, and the lightning intensifies the event.
Rain really is a blessing. If only it were regular...

What is freedom of speech? Anyone would tell you that it means the right to speak up our minds whenever we feel like it, and no one can do anything about it. But then, if that's the case then what is the meaning of the right to not be offended? What about the right to not be discriminated?
Freedom of speech is not something that was given to us. It is something we fabricated ourselves.We should use the freedom of speech as an advantage for the mankind, not as a weapon to cause distress and violence for anyone at all. On the other hand, our brains are given to us. It's a gift. We should use it. But when have we done that?
Over the past few days, there have been some terrible events that stirred up a lot of trouble, and who was to blame? Exactly. It was freedom of speech. We take it so lightly, that it pains me to say that we are not using the brains that has been given to us. The brains that we have are used for logically analyzing what we are about to say, before we say it. But hasn't that gone to waste? Our intelligence may be superior to even animals, but it pains me to say that animals are more civil than we humans are.
Who gave the right to people to offend people? I thought that was a BIG 'NO WAY'! Why are people talking about Peace on Earth, when it is quite evident that it's not going to happen with how we are behaving in this world. Like little children in the playground with no teachers or parents to supervise. Screaming at each other and fighting whenever there is a chance to do so.
I fear that as freedom of speech is taken more and more for granted, the move from us saying, "the world is changing for the better," to "the world is just changing for the worse" becomes more and more imminent and evident. Please, if we want peace, let us think about it. Let us be like friends. Let there be respect. Let there be honor. For everyone. Everywhere. People please, we need to act now, or else the songs for 'Peace on Earth' will fade away, and we will tumble back into the Darker Ages.

Alright, I think this is like a really lame that I'm writing a review about this after all it's a really old show. But WHATEVER. This was a funny show. I just finished watching the first season. So here are the reviews, and there are no pictures because I do not want copyright people bothering me.
Coop and Jamie meet a girl from the future, Kiva who wants to get back the robot that Coop bought for $ 2 in the junkyard, and modified it. Kiva realizes she no longer is able to use the robot, in hopes to defeat the Glorfts; those ugly slimy wormy looking aliens that have supposedly conquered a lot of planets/galaxies.
Well the show is funny. It's filled with nonsensical gags that are just too awesomely placed. Yeah, older viewers might not like it, because of the nonsense going on in it. But it has quite a lot of reference to a lot of what's around us. The S-Force episode bashed the Power Rangers. Battle Royale bashed the wrestling sport. I was laughing every time something bad happened to Pop TV, which was a parody of MTV.
All in all, I give this show 4/5 thumbs up. Go five it a try. It's a good comedy for a good time pass.
If you've already watched it, let me know if you could catch up on some of the parodies that this show has made, other than the ones I have mentioned. HEHE, I challenge you!
