  I can't believe I rented that awful game again!!

  No, I'm not talking about Super Smash Bros Brawl Turbo Championship Edition Super High Definition Remix! I... wait, does that game even exist? Anyway, I rented Dark Messiah: Might and Magic Elements. It's ****ing horrible! I forgot that this was that sickeningly stupid game I rented previously at Blockbuster with my GamePass. I need to make some kind of black list for games like these. It doesn't even have good controller options.

  I hate my dryer...

  I hate that piece of crap so much! It takes hours to what a dryer should do in minutes. It's worse than trying to dry clothes with a hair dryer. All it seems to do is collect lint and sometimes destroy my clothes. I left it running once when I went to see a friend, and about 25 hours later, when I came back, it was still running. Maybe I should hack the damn thing to pieces. Maybe I should make my landlord get me a new one at gunpoint. Maybe I should destroy the headquarters of whoever makes the piece of crap!! I know there's a crapload of lint in whatever the %^&* you call that large tube-like thing that connects the dryer to the outside, but the landlord doesn't seem to give a crap. He just says, "clean out the end," even though I'd need to get the whole thing cleaned.

  The big blame game.

  I know this is old news, but I thought I'd write about it anyway, especially since something could happen again.

  It seems that when minors and young adults commit heinous acts of murder and then kill themselves, people like to point the finger elsewhere because the actual culprit isn't alive to be criticized. It seems someone should pay since you can't do any further damage to the deceased. Politicians blame video games, video gamers blame parents, and the news media blames both.

  The simple truth is that any sane person won't simply emulate violent actions in video games, and parents can't be watching their kids like hawks all the time. Bad things happen all the time, and people need to move on. We all want to understand why bad things happen, but pointing fingers never really solves anything.

  Blamers usually blame easy targets. The jocks and preps at Columbine, who picked on Klebold and Harris, were apparently too popular to blame, plus they provided funding for the school through either their sports activities or their rich parents. It's also funny how game hunters are never blamed either, even though kids are often taken out to the forests by their parents and desensitized to killing. I guess, according to some people, children can more easily tell the difference between killing a deer and killing a human than killing someone in a video game and killing someone in real life.

  As was made obvious in the third paragraph, I also have a habit of playing the blame game. I still think it sucks though. You want to know who is to blame for the Columbine massacre? It's not the jocks, the preps, the parents, Marilyn Manson, video games, or even the deer hunters (and believe me, I'd love to blame deer hunters for everything terrible). The fault of the Columbine Massacre falls squarely on Klebold and Harris. The same thing goes for the shooting at Virginia Tech: Cho was responsible for that, no one else.
