Hello all, to my little part of this site. I've been here for a long while now, and you may have seen my name occasionally in the reviews. If so, then don't hesitate to say hello! If you haven't seen me at all, then take this as a small challenge to find the works that I invest my reviews in. Some have smut, others are serious, and more often than not, they have action. I like to think that they're worth the trouble of finding them again, but that's for you to decide. In any case, I hope you have a wonderful day/night, - Unnoticed OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. My favorite quotes: "It's a funny thing, ambition. It can take one to sublime heights or harrowing depths. And sometimes they are one and the same." -Emily Kaldwin, Dishonored "You can't undo what you've already done, but you can face up to it." -Frank Coleridge, Silent Hill: Downpour "War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other." -Niko Bellic, GTA IV "The Healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day in Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sands and rocks here stained with thousands of years of warfare... they will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him." -Captain Price, Modern Warfare 2 "Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost." -Pandora, God of War III "Life is a negotiation. We all want. We all give to get what we want." -Mordin Solus, Mass Effect 2 "Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. Their silence is your answer." -Javik, Mass Effect "A Hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him." - No one, Halo: Combat Evolved "Legends never die, as eternal life is the reward for their deeds." - My friend, who has since passed. |
