I'm having what an elderly person might call a 'Funny Turn'. Basically I feel like the weight of all the world has come crashing down on my shoulders - it hasn't, nothing has changed in my life since this morning. My mood has just dropped. Silly mood. Basically
This
By the way, to anyone who reads this, I love you guys, you literally make my world go round. I'm so lucky to have such wonderful friends, so thankyou.

Elisabeth wants no more children
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is already brooding three children with her husband Tim named Grace, 5, and sons Taylor, 2 and Isaiah, 1 and now she wants no more. Elisabeth says, “I know right now that I have a family that feels full and complete, and as much as it is in our control — because ultimately it isn’t — I know that this is where we feel comfortable enough, challenged enough and enough love in that house, so we are at this point a complete picture”.

The adult Snow White
Natalie Portman, the 29-year-old actress ended up to be the adult Snow White in Brothers Grimme: Snow White. The movie is built by Brett Ratner. Meanwhile Protman is being advertised for an Oscar nomination for her role as the top ballerina. She admitted, “It’s very complimentary and flattering that people are talking about that. The best thing with this movie is that everybody really seems to be having a strong visceral response. Obviously what we do is about wanting to make a thing that people connect to, that’s the biggest prize”.

Divorce cancelled for the Pratt couple
Finally and at last, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are back together again living happily now. Yes! Montag have cancelled her divorce with Spencer Pratt! Heidi and Spencer, who separated in April, were spotted to have been kissing on their trip to Santa Barbara zoo. It is known that Montag wished to have settlements in early September though a petition was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. While a case for divorce was filed, on the other hand, it was demanded that over the several months they had sneakily been living together in Malibu during summer after resolving to get settled. “We are back together trying to make things work. After spending time together over these past several months Heidi and Spencer have sure to reconcile” the couple told People magazine.

The Unreal Concept of Dating in the Muslim World
Oh, boy. Dating. In any culture, it's really, really hard.
It's a great way to meet new people, even if you are not looking for strictly romance and a whole lot of commitment. It's a way to find out about a new area, to make new friends, and have fun experiences. I've been to a lot of fun places because of dating. It's a way to lighten your wallet, taste new foods, and have eye-opening (or dreadful) conversations with people who want the same things you do (I hope). All emotional attachment aside, dating is (or should be) fun, lighthearted, and a way to make a potential connection of some kind with another human being. It's nice.
Never in my life have I ever dated a Muslim. I cannot tolerate Muslim dating in the least, and the Muslim men I have met who I might want to date either a) end up scaring the heck out of me (I will show you later) or b) are married/engaged with twenty kids. The better Muslim men who I have had connections with are either not progressive enough, or taken. Apparently, the Muslim world is out to prove to me that happiness with a Muslim man is not possible for me at this point in my life.
Now, I am not going to talk about arranged marriages, being set up, etc. etc. That is a different way of looking at life; one that is not mine but one that I respect. There is nothing wrong, in my opinion, with meeting a nice guy/girl through the family in this "traditional" way. I think in certain aspects that it makes more sense! In a close knit family, having input from the people who love you might be the best way to find a partner. They know you best. I do not want it for myself, but I think it is reasonable as long as the person is not pressured or forced into marriage.
I am instead going to talk about Muslim dating. I am also talking about Muslim dating from the point of view of myself, and probably many female Muslims out there. Indeed, stereotypes will be engaged in, generalisations will be apparent, and one or two people may raise their arms in anguish and shout, "BUT, Ms. Burdened Mary, not ALL Muslim men are like this! Some of them are awesome! Look! I'm married/engaged/dating/the mother of a GREAT Muslim man!" Well, good for you. I'm talking from my miserable experiences; the bad side of things. I am aware of individual differences.
Some of us Muslimahs want to casually hang out with an attractive male. That is, apparently, the most wrong, immoral, indiscreet, SLUTTY thing you can ever do. Yes, we are all skanks for wanting to find a soulmate in a casual atmosphere, with conversation, food, and maybe a movie or something. Obviously we just wish to use our wiles to seduce poor, poor Muslim men who are naive and defenceless against our wicked charms!
Oh, come on.
This is the first issue with wanting to date in the Muslim world: the huge discrepancy between the role of men and women. Men are expected to take charge, and women are not supposed to want the attention. We are to be demure, shy, reserved and sweet. We should accept the advances we get but are damned if we show our own feelings of attraction too much ourselves. We are pressured every time we meet a man into showing affection, but once we do it...that's it. We are impure and not innocent anymore, so the man moves on!
Let me give you an example that is way too familiar to you if you have dated or have read/heard about someone dating a Muslim man. A young girl, age 18, meets a guy at a falafel restaurant in New York City. He is handsome, and older at about 26 years old. He is Arab, and a Muslim. The girl is Muslim too, and is flattered by his friendly, seemingly open manner towards her in the store. She is Arab, and has moved to the city for studies - it was nice to find a face familiar to those at home. They exchange phone numbers and the girl floats on could nine out of the store with a delicious falafel- and tahini-filled sandwich.
The next day, she calls him. He jokingly says, "Wow, you seem eager to meet me." She says, "Well, yes. Do you not want to meet me?" He goes silent. He says, "Okay. I'll meet you. See you in x place at x o'clock."
They meet at this place, which is a dark restaurant in a seedier neighbourhood. She is dressed nicely, and he is in a t-shirt and an old pair of jeans. They sit down, he looks at her, and throughout the meal he smiles with a glitter in his eye. She smiles back, and they flirt, albeit shyly from her end. She's not too used to flirting and is really just acting on impulse rather than on calculated thought, at least most of the time. By the end of the meal, he has his foot next to hers under the table, and they indulge in a small, yet meaningful, game of footsie. It's like they've been dating for a long time...
He offers to walk her to her bus stop, being a gentleman in her eyes. She is glowing with happiness. That is, until they start walking. He runs his hand down her back as they walk, his hand getting lower and lower. She is uncomfortable, and flinches away oviously. Suddenly, his tone of voice changes to a low growl as he stops.
"Why are you running away from me now," he asks, "why are you suddenly shrinking?" She says, "I like you, but you are making me feel weird." She couldn't think of a better thing to say than weird. Uncomfortable would be too accusatory, in case he didn't realise he somewhat crossed a line, and if she said I don't like what you are doing, it would be way too awkward.
"Oh, I see." He faces her and looks her right in the eye. His stance widens, and his shoulders look suddenly twice as broad, just for a second. "Now all of a sudden you are a pure and innocent Arab! The way you were before, you were like a looser girl, like an American. What did I do wrong?"
Offended by his words, the girl feels heat in her face. Pure and innocent? Loose? Those are not words that went into her mind throughout the whole date. Now she just wanted him to leave, but they were near the bus stop. She realises that she is all alone, with this man she did not know.
She is lucky. He says, "I don't know you or what you want. Good night." He walks away from her, leaving her in the dark. It's better this way, she thinks. I am glad he is gone. She takes the bus home and she feels safe, and the questions in her head are too much for her. What did he mean? What did he think I wanted? Did I act like a whore? I don't remember!
I want to tell her, and every other woman with those questions every day, that she did not act like a whore, nor did she do anything wrong. Whether he was Arab, Indian, Mauritian, whatever, it doesn't matter - he was a Muslim man from a Muslim culture that did not expect a woman to be forward in the least. If she were quiet, unresponsive, and never looked at him in the eye whatsoever, she would have been doing what was right in Muslim society's mind, but she would have been boring, wouldn't she? She wouldn't have been acting as herself. She would have been a great wife, but not a partner or a friend.
But guess what? Us ladies, whether we are Muslim or not, we don't just want to date to become wives. Some of us would like to to end that way, but dating is about having fun and, as I have said, making real connections. We cannot shield ourselves completely, lie or conceal for the sake of reputation, and then expect to be able to have a genuine relationship based on trust and love. It doesn't make sense!
The Muslim dating world, if that even really exists, puts too much emphasis on face, the idea that we need to protect our reputations. It's all about what we should do, and not at all about who we are, or emotion. It has gotten to the point where everything is ridiculous. If you dare make up your own moves, forget it. You'll be forced out, and alienated. I'm sick of it; that's it.

Music Showcase - Stalley
Stalley might be from the Midwest but he has an old school east coast flow. Somebody (Kanye, Jigga) needs to take this kid under their wing so the Massillon, Ohio native can get the exposure that he needs. I would hate to see this dude get labeled with that “Dopest MC you never heard of title” that a lot of cats are running around with (no thanks to Radio and suspect A&R’s).
Question: Why put a music link on your blog? Answer: Because radio sucks. Listen to individuals/groups that should be on radio.

Daaba Andee ttmereen bezzef, w Zaimisms.
Ok, so the title is a lie. I did all my homework yesterday and they didn't give us any more today. For those of you keeping up, I did two tests earlier this week. I got 8,5 out of 10 for Dereeja and 35 out of 42 on grammar. Except Si Zaim then decided it was only a mock because apart from me it seems like everyone else did quite badly (to be fair I was lucky because I revised the right stuff. Like, literally the exact words that came up) so my awesome grammar mark counts for nothing.
Oh well, on the upside I had a lovely shower and then a little chat with Mounia (I am beginning to understand her now, though I still speak in sentances that sound like 'have it this [le serviette??] now you have I have please?' Italics indicates where I have no idea how to say towel in Arabic so I try French. Little joy there really. On the upside she insisted on washing my clothes which is awesome coz I'm bad at it. I tried to ask if I could help, but I don't think she really had a clue what I was on about at that point (I think I was pronouncing it totally wrong. I was probably accidentally asking for fish or insulting her mum, good thing she's nice!)
Have some Zaimisms from last week.
I am interested in couscous not in vegetables. They [the vegetables?!] are like feathers in your hat. I think he might have been trying to explain something about the subject being the only important word in a sentence here.
Some like sandwiches, some like me they don't eat, I prefer to die than to eat sandwiches. Here we are discussing how Zaim refuses to translate literally. Gotta love the food-themed Zaimisms.
You need to have fish-eyes. That's Arabic! Because you need to see the words to either side of the one you are working on. Interestingly that would stop you seeing the word in question, but we don't care about than when we're working with ridiculous analogies.
Noun-Adjective phrase is a big cheese, a small car, a wonderful house. In fairness he's right, they are all noun-adjective phrases. Still entertaining to hear though.

This is why all the LAN cable port is damaged !!!
I am one of thousand users that access the net from my campus' library and now I found out that most port can't be used because someone (or something) has pulled it too hard to the point that it can't be used any longer.
So, today (on this day this was posted) I happened to catch one of the culprit, which I'm sure there were many and take a photo.
I'm not gonna put her (there! I said it, the culprit is a girl!) face in this blog but I just hope everyone take good care of the facilities here because there are many people using them.

( I thought about it, but failed to do so :x )But not until I almost kill myself, I won't learn it.Now I've learnt it.---Those laughters, jokes, smiles, phonecalls, texts and tears.I'm throwing every single one moment of them away.Be it my best-kept-happy-memories, or not.I'm throwing it all back at you.Keeping them will make me sad.---OHHAI.My life is almost perfect, LOL joking, itz not beli guut.Hahaha.---This time is the first time I've changed a contact in my phone,Into something tht's not a name.Like, WHUT.LOL.Some people, maybe, errrr..

Just so you know.
I'm on a year long vacation from the forums courtesy of Lithium. I posted a picture of a girl named Nikki Catsouras who was in a car crash in the ladies fashion thread, and apparently, they have weak stomachs. I'm not going to post it here, but if you want to see it, it can be found here.
The good news? I'll be back in approximately 520,000 minutes, ;)

Lauren Miller got engaged
Lauren Miller has got engaged with her long term boyfriend Seth Rogen. She was very surprised indeed at the proposal of marriage because she had never thought regarding it. A source from the American tabloid Life and Style said, “She’d started giving up hope that he would ever pop the question, but he surprised her with the proposal”. It is found that Miller is so happy with Seth. On the other hand, Seth had he recently claimed he will never be a hit with women. “I don’t really get any more attention from the opposite sex. And it’s definitely not true what women say about just wanting a man with a sense of humor,” he said.

Jennifer Aniston: not abreast of technology
Sources say the 41-year-old former Friends actress Jennifer Aniston avoids technologies such as the internet, texting from mobile phones, barely emails and relies on a years-old laptop computer. Some say she is a total anti-technology freak. “Jen has such a phobia of technology that she calls herself a neo-Luddite” says one source. As a result, Jen’s friends makes fun of her non-stop that she does not know how to program her DVD or even her home stereo. Furthermore, she has not the clue of how to download a simple from the internet. Now matter others say, Jen she is always with her own belief that why needed to upgrade when one works just fine?

Well ok, I'm not actually strapped for cash. But I did spend 1400Dh in one go earlier. 'On what?' I hear you ask. Well let me reveal the most exciting thing to happen in Morocco so far (to me).
I'M OFF TO THE SAHARA!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M OFF TO THE SAHARA!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it's prettymuch just that. Sorry for getting so excited about sand. And a camel.
But I jest, it'll be a bit more exciting than just sand. We set off at 12.30 from school and have a 7hour journey down to Erfoud, we stay in a 5* hotel with a swimming pool and jacuzzi (this is not the only reason I'm going, but it does sweeten the deal a bit). The saturday we have until 11 in the hotel chilling, before we head on out to hotel Tomboctou in Merzouga, right in the desert. Another pool = D. At about 5 that evening we will camel ride out to an oasis and watch the sunset. Then we sleep over in a Berber tent, and wake for sunrise before heading back (on camel of course) to the Tomboctou for a bit of breakfast. It's then a 10hour drive back up to Fes, but it'll be worth it (and also I'll sleep, because a night in a tent will not equal good sleeping times for me...funny sleeping-on-the-coach pictures may ensue)
So there we are, welcome to my big adventure.
Incidentally, class today turned out alright, and I actually talked to Mounia, though I still didn't understand half of what she said. But شوية بشوية I'm getting it. Oh and had another proposal from a taxi driver, he wanted me to go to his house and meet his mum. In the end I surreptitiously slipped a ring onto my ring finger and convinced him I was already married. I hate lying to people, but seriously, I'm just not marrying a taxi driver, no matter what.
Fucking wrong.
Faraway for far too long,And I love you, I loved you all along.

Would you like some hot lead with that Pizza??
Another case of why they are building more jails than colleges. I hear black folks talking about how the system is taking advantage of young black men but that’s all who you see on the 6pm news. They aren’t walking across stages receiving diplomas and they aren’t being interviewed for coming up with a cure for a disease. They are robbing, raping and running for cops. Sure we could refute these images if there was a news program to counter that but we’ve been there already. Two young men lost their lives trying to rob a chain store that makes pizzas. This wasn’t some Oceans 11 type stuff. This was a step up from robbing a package store. This scenario isn’t just happening in my city of Charlotte. It’s being playing out across the nation. I hope the guy that killed them doesn’t lose his job. Although I don’t know how Pizza Hut will look down upon his form of “Rough Justice.”
Don't make me snap my fingers in a Zee for-ma-shunn...
So Evan, an American guy over here just said that. Like a angry black woman. It was awesome.
Today has been alright although I've been in a funny Sally-mood since last night, and so I found this morning's class really annoying. And I got proposed to again in the taxi on the way here. And then we got asked to convert while we were having lunch. Actually, it's just been a really weird day. More later because I have class now and then a meeting about the weekend trip. More on that tomorrow = )
Purple Jellybean because of a lack of things to say.
UPDATE: Evan doesn't think my purple jellybean looks like a jellybean. I think he's wrong to be honest, and he's probably hurt Purple Jellybean's feelings with his cruel remarks.

Does Home support really care? No, they don't, but we already knew that.
Via the forums:
I have to admit, while the man does make a point.. please, would you make an effort to spell properly next time? Thank you. So that's one more unsatisfied customer.. how many until Sony actually gives a damn? To be completely honest, I don't think they ever will. I think that as long as the same group of people continue support them, they will thrive. Two or three unsatisfied customers matter little when you have hundreds (yeah, not thousands, nice try though guys), of sheep who will purchase anything.
I have been one of those very patent but I have lost that. It's been several days sense I bought the Dolphy Room and raised 2 Dolphy's. One day they were gone. After the rewards and stuff I have earned I could not believe it.
I have sent the MOD's messages, I have send the webmaster email like support told me to over the phone. I have got no response from anyone at all.
Do you really care. Personally I think they messed up and deleted my stuff. I know @home is beta, but hell, at least respond to your customers/community. The program is only as good as the support is.
I demand a explanation as to why they are gone? Why can't you answer me? Why do you Ignore us for? Is this the kind of support you want to give too your community which is nothing? We pay for something and your screw us in our bum?
I will not spend another single penny on @home until I get a answer as too why this happened.
It is you that failed / lose, not I.
You wan't my support, then support me.

You know it's a slow day when..
So I don't know if you guys have heard, but Michael Jackson, yes, the singer who is also known as the king of pop is getting his own MMO.. no, I'm not fucking with you, he really is. You're probably checking your calendar right now and thinking to yourself, "what the fuck? It isn't April!", and I'm as startled as you are.
Either way though, I actually looked into it a bit, and it sounds decent. I'm not a huge fan of Michael Jackson, and I would have never thought he would have his own MMO, but hey, weirder things have happened. It's developed by a company called SEE Virtual Worlds, and is scheduled for release as a part of MindArk's Entropia Universe in 2011.
I don't know about you guys, but I plan on checking it out,because I love virtual worlds.. but I tried out a couple of the other planets in the Entropia Universe, and I really enjoyed them. They are fairly graphics intensive though, so you may want to check out the required specs before you check it out, but if you meet them, and this is your sort of thing.. perhaps you may enjoy it.
You can register for their site and check out the two worlds they have in the universe here. Obviously Entropia Universe isn't really competition for Home given the fact it's on the PC as oppposed to the PS3, but there's always room to try new things. If you check it out, why not let us know what you thought in the comments? Oh, and be honest, I don't really care whether you thought it was an abomination or the greatest thing in the world.
Also, I'm just waiting for the sex offenders to get caught in Planet Michael, oh boy.

Well that was awkward
You know that feeling where you really need the loo but the maid is asleep and her bed is right next to the bathroom and you're worried you'll wake her?
Oh wait, no-one else has that problem.
And I want to not call her a 'maid' but I can't think of a better word. She's more close to the family than just a simple 'maid' though.

I'm quite impressed that my bank haven't blocked my card by now, considering that in the last 2 weeks I have booked 6 flights to and from Morocco. Excessive right?
The situation is thus - my Moroccan tourist visa expires after 90 days, but for this term, I have to be in the country longer than that. Two solutions
1) Get a residency visa for a year. That requires a mountain of paperwork, and a Moroccan bank account full of £2000 UK sterling which I can't touch for a month.
2) Leave and come back again since they're quite flexible on tourist visas.
Considering I can get a return to the UK for £45, you have to think, 'why not?'.
So that is what I am doing. I shall return to the UK for 4 days between the 21st and 26th of October. It'll be a nice break plus I can see family and stuff, so it'll be perfect. Then I'll be back for Christmas and again for Easter, and I needn't come back in the middle of those terms because they're each below 90 days = )
And anyway, I was informed by my Taxi driver today that family is very important. Like, seriously. Like there is nothing better than if you're sitting at a table, a big table and you can look to my side and there is my father, across there is my sister, my auntie, my brother. The guy got seriously into this train of thought. He was cheap though, so who's arguing anyway?

When in Rome...
Well I'm not in Rome, but you get my drift. While here I should do as Moroccans do. And it is killing me.
The thing is, we start classes at 8am, but I don't have dinner until 10pm at the earliest and then it goes on an hour. I have zip chance of being in bed before midnight. Then I have to be up at 6.30 if I want a shower (which my hideous teenage hair still insists upon. I wonder if when I turn twenty it'll just suddenly become not a greaseball?) Which means I get six and a half hours sleep at most. That is by no means enough sleep for me. Today after my test (did I mention I was having tests? already? They're not great fun) I'm going home and sleeping.
Also, blogging in class makes me cool right?
Also also...no, I've forgotten. You know why? Because I'm knackered.

How much money has Sony fucked you out of?
So any of you that are on my friends list (or were, again, cry me a fuckin' river), probably noticed that I haven't been using Home lately. I'm sure you all know my reasons for it, the staff sucks, the people suck, everything about it is just god awful. What innovation was promised has yet to be seen, we haven't got televisions or stereos yet, but we've got cat costumes.. that's almost as good, right? No? Yeah, I didn't think so.
So anyways, I'm going to tally up the cash I've funneled into this heap (spanning multiple accounts), and give you the number. Why? Because I don't give a fuck anymore. To be completely honest, it's money that I never had in the first place, purely purchased on credit, that's right, I'm a real fuckin' American.
Nowadays I haven't got so much, and I'm wishing I hadn't put money into the corporate machine that is Sony, because it's money that I'm never going to get back, and to be completely honest.. I am sure they will try to come after me now with every opportunity they get. I'm not going to stop writing for this blog again, I'm not going to sit back and let Sony take my money and do whatever the fuck it is they do with it.
I'm sure GlassWalls is over there laughing at us all building a tower of gold bars right now, shit, I would be too, if I didn't have the self-consciousness to know I was being an asshole.
So yeah, I'll let you know how much I've spent, and if you want to let us know, please do.. because I am seriously interested.
On second thought, fuck that, I'm a lazy bastard, but you're more than welcome to.

Fuck the topic at hand - let's talk about television repair men!
You know them, you love them, they're probably after your wife.. television repair men. Alright, let's get down to business, eh?
We all know what a shit system Lithium has, and the bias employees they have working there with their favoritism and attempted censorship, but this has got to be a new low. I'm sure none of you give a fuck, and if you don't, hey - guess what, I don't give a fuck what you think.. and no, I'm not attempting to censor you. If you want to run your mouth about how I'm a psychotic douche, feel free to in the comments, but please, do it with a sense of intelligence or you'll only make yourself look like a fucking moron.
A while ago Home Watch abandoned its goal to make Home a better place, and do you know why? It's futile, it really fucking is, and I should know. I've been a Home enthusiast for a long time. I've put up with their bullshit, I've bought their product, and I've been a sheep.. but I won't anymore.
Home will never be a better place, it will never be a family friendly community and it will never be what it strives to, or at least claims to strive to be. After all, we are but cows on the farm, all we're doing is providing Sony with revenue that we aren't seeing returned.. and why would we want that? This year we've seen a ton of content.. but at what cost? We've seen prices increase, we've seen bugs, we've seen people being blatantly fucked over with false advertisement.. the list goes on.
Anyways, I'm rambling.. back to the topic at hand.. err.. television repair men..? Yeah, I'm about as confused as you are right now. So as you all know, there is a thread for fashion, ladies fashion.. it's a thread where Joanna Dork takes pictures of herself and clogs up the kudos leaderboard (which actually shows when you search top kudoed users for the entire forums, not just Home General), and flexes her massive ego.
So anyways - I go into the thread, I often read it, and I was at one point in time a patron, and I'm looking for outfits and I see this bullshit... they're talking about their fantasies with television repair men.. really? I'll admit, a few of the people who are regulars at that thread are friends of mine and I don't mind them.. but I go in, and I make a post saying that I'm going to report their bullshit spam, and of course I do..
Five minutes later, my post is deleted, and I'm not surprised, any time you go against the usual group of "elitists", you get shot down.. but it works both ways. As of posting this, moderation has made an effort to remove their bullshit spam, as they should, but before they got to that.. they had to make sure they deleted my post.
So that's it for this rant, but a word of advice.. if anyone comes across a post that should be viewed as spam, make an effort to click the button at the bottom of the post labeled "report inappropriate content". Just make sure you don't abuse it, because Lithium will not tolerate your bullshit (unless you're Joanna).

GlassWalls is not a man.
So as I'm sure many of you remember, quite some time ago I had an altercation with the staff at Home, particularly moderation, GlassWalls of which was the top dog at the time. Needless to say, I wasn't happy with the way I was treated.. and I know, it's obvious, and we're going back in the past a bit here.. but it's very important that we do.
I admit, he and I had our differences, we fought and exchanged insults on numerous occasions, which got me banned a couple of times.. but you have to understand the situation I was in, and I know that most of you do.. he on the other hand, did not. I told him about the problem, that was the first thing that I did, I know how things work, at least on the outside.. he told me internal changes were made, but what internal changes?
For all we know, and probably in all likelihood, moderators are multiple people behind the same desk.. I've heard rumors that the original (and fucking cool, might I add) eefinem was replaced by some douche.. and you know where I heard those rumors? I didn't hear them from this blog - I heard them from our favorite patron, Mr. Lochwood (on a Skype call, in fact).
Now.. I don't know about you, but two things come to mind when I heard this from them, first of all.. how the hell would they know? There's been speculation for quite some time that they've been dealing with Sony, but this just makes it obvious (as if the moderators at every fucking party didn't). He told me that the original eefinem transferred out of Home, and you know what.. I don't fucking blame him, the place is a shithole.
So anyways.. in line with the positive thing I had going, I saw GlassWalls at a game launching party at the Gamer's Lounge. He had blocked me on the forums (how is that for listening to the community?), and refused to speak to me in Home.. but I guess he felt a little bit different that day, and I admit, I had been somewhat nice to the guy, it's not like he doesn't deserve it (aside from the fact he's a dick), but I apologized to him. I told him that I was sorry for what I had done, and believe me, I wasn't too nice to the guy, to put it simply..
He offered his forgiveness, and I was grateful. The Home gods had given me a second chance, or so I thought.. despite the fact that he accepted my apology and unblocked me on the forums (allegedly), he was still the same bias asshole that he'd always been.. and if he's not, well, he sure doesn't give the right impression.
Let me give you the most example:
On twitter, he had some God of War: Ghost of Sparta codes to give away, to the first people to retweet his post. You know what? I was one of the first few people to do so, and I'm fairly certain the time-line was evidence of that... but despite that, I wasn't given a code, and keep in mind, I'm not blocked on his twitter..
So GlassWalls, I'm speaking to you.. you are not a man. Men do not accept an apology only to bear a grudge. You know how valuable I was to the god damn community, ask any person who I have ever helped, any person I have ever come in contact with.. I may be a dick, I won't deny that, but I am also extremely helpful, and extremely knowledgeable.. hell, you know that, I had to correct you several times when you fed the community misinformation regarding Sodium.
So I ask you GlassWalls - will you be a man and settle this dispute?
I admit, he and I had our differences, we fought and exchanged insults on numerous occasions, which got me banned a couple of times.. but you have to understand the situation I was in, and I know that most of you do.. he on the other hand, did not.

DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY is a dick.
I feel like writing something today, and so I shall... but don't expect it to be constructive, this is Home Watch, isn't it? Your feelings aside (cry me a fucking river), I've got a story for ya.
A few months ago I signed up for a site called PS Talent.. seems fair enough, cool site, cool people, right? If you said yes, you'd be dead fucking wrong. I admit, I've got some friends from there, though.. nowadays things aren't as friendly as they used to be, but this isn't about them.. it's about the site, and in this case, the man who runs it, DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY.
For those of you who aren't familiar with his work, he is an extremely arrogant prick who makes machinimas for Sony using Home, yes, you heard me right, for Sony. We'll get to that in a bit, but first the story. For a while, I thought.. maybe Home wasn't so bad after all, I mean.. sure, they constantly abused me, fucked you over, and continue to do so, but it's a nice place, right? I won't even answer that, because let's face it - you and I both know.
So anyways.. I decided I'd bite, play nice, hang around for a little while and see if things really change.. as such, I decided why not be positive, because nobody likesnegativity the reality. I started up a site, it didn't last very long.. it's still up as of right now, but ultimately I decided long ago that it is a waste of time and money... and we defended Home, we thought positive.. I tried to the best of my ability to make Home a better place (and believe me, I tried really fuckin' hard), but was unable to due to bias and other bullshit.
I decided I would join and interact with other communities, you know, really be positive, and that was how I got to PS Talent.. through PS Talent, I met and befriended DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY, who is a swell guy.. until you get to know him. He helped me out and I helped him out, and then came PlayStation Radio and Phone Home.
DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY told me about this project he had planned but never got around to doing, he said that I would be perfect for it, so I agreed, thinking it would be a fun experience, and nothing could go wrong.. but boy was I fuckin' wrong. We spent a couple months going over it, planning it, talking about how it would be done, until we finally decided we would start a new venture (if you can even call it that) called PlayStation Radio.
I was appointed manager and we got to work, and for a while.. it went pretty swell.. but as I'm sure many of you remember, we had a deadline that we had to meet. Now, deadlines are something you have to deal with in any industry, and any job.. but I have to admit.. I'm a bit of a procrastinator, I say I'm going to do something and then never do, or don't for a very long time.. and so, we were cutting it very close to the deadline.
The deadline was set for September 9th, it was September 8th.. we hadn't got a damn thing recorded, and yes, I may be partially to blame for that, but at the same time, I was constantly under pressure from DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY. I explained to him I've got school, which, by the way I do.. and that I didn't think I would be able to do it by the deadline. He got angry and asked what school has to do with anything and said let's call the whole thing off. I said alright, of course he was angry, but then a week later he came back.
He said they got someone else to replace me, you see, I was Phone Home's Home Guru, but he just didn't have what I had.. and I'm not trying to be arrogant here, that's legitimately what he said. He thought that I was the only one who could play the part, and perhaps he was right.. but I accepted again. So it was during the weekend, and I wasn't expecting it at all.. he says to me:
"Adam, do you think we can have this done by Monday? I've already arranged to present this to Sony", and actually, prior to that he had mentioned to me that he was under a non-disclosure agreement, as are the rest of the "media partners". Of course, that's probably not a surprise to most of you - NDAs are a standard business practice.. but here we have Sony, and its various users claiming that they show no favoritism. This, to me, showed for a fact that they do.
So anyways.. you know, I love Home (at least I did), and agreed to do it again, knowing that there was a very good chance of it ending up in the community theater.. now, probably not so much, but there was. We started recording, I was exhausted, I had not had any sleep and DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY was angry with me. I told him I couldn't do it and to be honest, I didn't want to anyways, the guy is extremely rude, condescending, and hard to work with. I have even had others tell me the same.
So what does he do? Instead of being a man and accepting the fact that my life does not revolve around his mediocre project, he says:
[9/12/2010 1:51:51 PM] DOD (DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY): well.. I'm sorry Adam.. you either commint to this.. or i'm done with you. You're fucking me and everyone around you... tell me know.. i'm tired of fucking with you
[9/12/2010 1:52:32 PM] Adam: I can't.
[9/12/2010 1:52:48 PM] DOD (DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY): later dude. thanks for the fuck. I'm done with you.
So he deleted me, but he didn't stop there.. he deleted my account from both of his websites and my banner. He is not a friend, he was not my friend and chances are he isn't your friend either.. so no matter what, even if you think he's a nice guy, just wait until you work with him.
PS: If you fucks want, I'll post all of the Skype logs with him.
A few months ago I signed up for a site called PS Talent.. seems fair enough, cool site, cool people, right? If you said yes, you'd be dead fucking wrong. I admit, I've got some friends from there, though.. nowadays things aren't as friendly as they used to be, but this isn't about them.. it's about the site, and in this case, the man who runs it, DIRECTOR_ON_DUTY.
For those of you who aren't familiar with his work, he is an extremely arrogant prick who makes machinimas for Sony using Home, yes, you heard me right, for Sony. We'll get to that in a bit, but first the story. For a while, I thought.. maybe Home wasn't so bad after all, I mean.. sure, they constantly abused me, fucked you over, and continue to do so, but it's a nice place, right? I won't even answer that, because let's face it - you and I both know.
So anyways.. I decided I'd bite, play nice, hang around for a little while and see if things really change.. as such, I decided why not be positive, because nobody likes
