Hello. I thought that I was finally going to get my riches today, but I ended up being denied of them. Basically, I was supposed to get my ATM card today, but due to a screwed up turn of events, I ended up not getting it. That means I'm still poor now. ****.

This time of the year, the one that we are currently experiencing, is ****ing boring. I cannot stand it. Having school may seem crappy to those who are having it, but to someone like me, someone who has been spending the past few months rotting at home, school is something good.

The start of the year. No new movies, no new songs, no new games, no new anything. This is the time of the year that we all do the stuff left over from last year. But what if I'm the kind of person who doesn't like dwelling in the past? What if I don't bother getting back to something after its initial hype is over?

I'm not the kind of person who can do something over and over again for a prolonged period of time. I guess that explains why I am continuously buying new games so frequently. I could try to pass time playing on Xbox Live, or I could even play PC games online, but the only problem is that I've been doing that too many times. The appeal has worn off.

I could listen to music, but after listening to that much Slipknot, everything else pretty much isn't music to my ears. The fact that good music is so hard to come by these days doesn't exactly help either.

I could watch a movie I have never watched before, but I have watched most action movies, and right now I'm mostly interested in comedy movies. Not crap ones like Epic Movie and Superhero Movie, but good ones like Harold and Kumar and American Pie. Too bad I already watched all of them. Anyone knows any good movies like those, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.

Since I can't find anything interesting to do with the aforementioned categories, I have turned to the Internet way too often. The Internet is a huge place. There's a lot of things you can do online. True. But I use the Internet for about 6 hours a day. Everyday. For the past 4 months. Even the Internet has become boring.

So there you have it. To summarise everything I just said, life is boring now. There you go, I just gave you a glimpse of life after the O levels. Really something to look forward to huh?

Anyways, let's get back to MY BORING LIFE now.

The things I did today that are worth a mention: I played Spider-Man 3. I fought Scorpion. Fun I guess.

I played the Resident Evil 5 demo again. I got my character's head lopped off twice by the chainsaw zombie, which is this really cool guy.

I gave my dad a half hug. Ok, that is all.

Racism in Resident Evil 5? Not really.

Now that I've been playing the demo of Resident 5 for a while, there's something that I have started to notice. The zombies in the game are multi racial. There are Caucasian zombies, African zombies, Middle Eastern zombies, Asian zombies, etc.

A little history about the development of the game. When Resident Evil 5 was first revealed, there was a massive uproar due to the fact that all the zombies in the game were African. People were like, "It's racist for a White dude to go around killing a ton of Black guys!!" Back then, I completely agreed. Now I realise that it's stupid.

In order to satisfy all these angered people, Capcom decided to diversify the ethnicity of the zombies, so that it would be seen as racist anymore. It was a dumb move. They should have just stuck to the Black zombies.

Seriously, someone please enlighten me. In what way is having African zombies in a African village racist? Just think about it. That's like saying having Chinese enemies in a game set in China is racist.

But if it was a more advance country like China, I would expect there to be at least some variety of races, because people are migrating there all the time. But who the **** migrates to some crappy African village.

When you watch movies and documentaries about Africa, do you see anyone in the villages other than the Africans? No. So why the hell must there be anything other than Africans in Resident Evil 5? When I'm walking in an African village, I will be seriously freaked to see an Iraqi guy all of a sudden.

So, the bottom line is, Capcom shouldn't need to succumb to the pressure. If there game is set in America, and the only people you kill are Blacks, then sure, that's racist as hell, but if the game is set in Africa, I only expect to encounter Africans. Capcom, it isn't too late. Still a month to launch. Please change it.

It blows my mind how overly sensitive people can be these days. "White guy can't shoot an African!! That's racist man!" Yes he can, if the African is in an African village. Douches.

Ok, I'm done with that. An article went up onto IGN.com today, and everyone is pretty surprised by it. Why? Firstly, it's not by an IGN editor. It's by Chris Fehn, one of the purcussionists of Slipknot. Secondly, it is the best IGN article in ages. IGN should give the guy his own column! Anyways, check it out by clicking HERE.

Ok, I'm going to stop here. Tomorrow I'll by trying to do my posts in a different way. I don't know if it'll be good or not, so I'll just be testing it out. Ok, ending off, see you tomorrow.
