I bought Weird Al's new CD. It's pretty cool. Read my forum topic for more information. Nothing else is really happening though. My mom is crazy. She thinks that I'll be brainwashed and will become a satan worshipper if I read fantasy novels. I wonder if she knows the term fiction. This brings me to the topic of things throughout the years that parents thought would be harmful to their children and cause them to do bad things. First it was books, then Music, then TV and movies, then comic books, and now video games. People only get brainwashed by fictional accounts if they aren't mentally sound in the first place. Parents watch the news and they hear about some kid who brought a gun to school, because he played too much games or something. How do we even know that the games were to blame. Maybe he just played them. The news doesn't get everything straight. Of course, there are wackos who killed people because they played games, but they were WACKOS ANYWAY. My god. I'm telling you. Anyone who can get brainwashed to do things like killing from games are not mentally sound. That is the bottom line.
