rock band

ok, seriously, have you ever played rock band? I have...it's amazing. Rock band is so amazing that i am procrastinating from writing a paper about plagiarism to watch youtube videos on people embarassing themselves rocking out. There are many reasons why i love rock band. Rock band takes you to a place, a delusional place, of groupies, stardom, and an occasional euphoric experience. My lead role in rock band is vocal. I was born to sing baby. Another reason why rock band is going to change the world is that it is GREAT to have at parties. ok, ok, i'm asian, and karoake is fun too...but having a guitar and a set of drums is just bad-azz. so, yeah, this contemplative observation is about integrative video games that are fantasy providing, delusion inducing heaven.

observation #1

you know...some straight guys can be so caught up in keeping a masculine persona. i believe a part of the reason for this is due to the need to feel accepted by mainstream society. looking around at human nature it is pretty suprising/disappointing how people go to such great lengths to conform for the feeling of being accepted. How did i come to this observation? HGTV, yes that's right, HGTV. I was watching a construction crew work on a home and I thought about how the construction workforce has a strong concentration of men and how it is thought of to be uber-masculine.

Construction work is a butch way of saying arts and crafts.

I bet you if sewing and making floral arrangements was considered masculine by society, there would be an overflow of men producing silk floral arrangements.
