I'm arguing with myself if I should use titles that are actually relevant to the content in my posts. Let me know your opinion.

So theres a new study out about video games, conducted by the BYU which stands for the Brigham Young University. Its a Mormon college in Utah, Mormons in Utah!? Yeah I was as shocked as you.

The study details went as followed...

"Participants included 813 undergraduate students (500 young women, 313 young men, M age = 20...) who were mainly European American (79%), unmarried (100%) and living outside their parents’ home (90%)."


The BYU concluded that...

*The more the students play video games, the worse their relationships are with friends and parents (although this effect is modest)

*Those who play video games daily smoke pot twice as much as other players and three times more than those who never play

*Young women who play often have lower self-esteem


In related News, I have concluded that BYU university has a stoner problem and needs to figure out why its female students have such low self esteem. But to be honest Id smoke too if I lived in fucking Utah and went to BYU. If I was a Mormon girl expected to marry and have 10+ children Id also have low self esteem, I don't blame these people at all. I think the study is completely accurate at a second glance.

The study was (as read above) done with a pool of 813 of BYU's students in Utah. Thats a poor representation of the entire gaming community aswell.

Not too mention the NPD released their own study in 2008 that found that over 60% of the entire U.S. population play video games regularly.
20,000 were surveyed in that study. A much larger pool than the BYU's lonely 813 of their own students.

Its so hard to pick apart every flaw this BYU study has, It would take so long. Its a pool of only their own students, which are mainly Mormons. The people pooled were a median age of 20. It was taken in only one state with a tiny amount of people.

Its just a bad study with messed up results. Have you ever been in school doing a report, then when you show it to your teacher he/she immediately points out that your conclusion can't be right then quickly figures out why you messed up and corrects it?
I'm having flashbacks...

This is the last part in a series blog that contains three parts, I hope you enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to doing similar things in the future.

'Similarities'

This blog is more a list, or comparison than a written pierce, But I suppose anything written could be a 'written piece'.
I make good arguments to myself sometimes, don't mind me...

Edward
is/has
Pale
Alone
Has Issues
Attractive (So they say...)

Jay
is/has
Pale
Alone
Has Issues
Attractive
Awkward

Jay wins,
When it comes down to it, I have more pros than Edward and he just can't keep up.

Besides...have you seen this guy?




Authors note: I do not hate Twilight, These posts are not meant to 'bash' the twilight series in any way. Any jokes or 'insults' are for merely comedic value.

This is Part two of my Twilight blog,

'Rise and Fall'


As I mentioned before, I'm pale, Edward is pale, and pale is 'in' now.
So its 'fashionable', In a way.
I'm not usually one to be fashionable, but if girls are going to all a sudden decide that paleness is more attractive than a tan, then I'm not going to complain.
Its better than guys scurrying to get their fake-bitch-tans after all.
(Fake tanning is for bitches)

Styles are fads and styles change over time.
Paleness will be gone seemingly overnight but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
I ask all my pale brethren to do the same, for after the mainstream fashion leaves us we'll all be 'just pale'.

I know I'm not going to change my looks unless I want to.
If theirs one thing I absolutely hate, its peer pressure of any kind and that's all styles and fads really are,
peer pressure.

Twilight is a highly successful Gothic-romance series that has recently been made into a movie, so this can only mean one thing.

...I have something to say about it of course!

You don't think I let this shit slide do you?
I didn't think so...


So moving on,
I have three main things I want to cover in this little post of mine,

1.How much I believe perception and perspective has to do with affection, understanding, and impressions. Their 'link' and how they affect each other.

2.The Rise and Fall of modern humanities 'fads'.

3.Similarities.

Lets get started on the first post,
One of the main protagonists in the story is Edward Cullen, he is a vampire but more importantly, pale, and girls love him.
This is good news for your humbler writer, for reasons I shouldn't even need to address but for any strangers reading my blog let me explain as clearly and detailed as I can.

...I'm pale.

ok, I think that suffices as a good explanation. Now that everyone's on the same page, lets continue.

So this blog entry's purpose is to pick apart the main reason why 'I' believe girls love him, and (like most of my blogs) has a deeper meaning than just that subject.

I think girls will become affectionate for any guy regardless of looks if presented a certain way, a 'romantic' way in most cases.
For example, there's nothing remarkable about the actor Robert Pattinson's looks.

I mean just look at the guy...


Pretty smokin' right? Yea I didn't think so, I'm not gay but I think I know when a guy is average or ugly as all hell.

Hes not freakish but I don't believe hes insanely handsome either, otherwise why weren't fan girls going nuts over him when he was in Harry Potter? Because he wasn't shown in a romantic hero-like light like he was in Twilight.

I showed you the worst of someone, here's their best...



Match that face/makeup with his constant saving-of-girls and depression/problems (girls dig dudes with issues) and you got yourself a 'chick-magnetic'.

You'd be amazed how a single perspective can make someone change.
Case-in-Point, most anyone can be 'beautiful' if given the chance. So don't assume things too early and please keep an open mind.
