Satisfaction

One of my family members recently got really ticked off because she had a problem with her phone and the phone company kept sending her the same  phone and it kept doing the same thing that she had originally complained about, then had the courage to say, "We'll refund you." She spent a good four hours being passed around from person to person on the company's tech support line and when they passed her to the manager of the call center, the woman flat out called my relative a "liar." My family member said to me, "I want to bitch slap her."

Eventually everything was settled and my relative got a working phone, but I was browsing around on Facebook a few days after this whole ordeal and found this photo:

I find it to be so ironic how the organizations that hurt us so much (e.g. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter) know us so well. Well played. Really well played...

Suicide Room (2011 film) Info and Review

I just watched the Polish movie Suicide Room (Polish: Sala Samobójców) and I loved every minute of it. Though, it's a tear jerker.

The plot revolves around 19/20 year old Dominik Santorski. He has everything a guy his age could want: wealth, popularity, good grades, and girls. To make things better, there are only 100 days left until he graduates and goes off to college. After an unjust incident concerning a male classmate, he becomes the target of online and in-person bullying. Desperate for refuge, he joins a virtual world called the, "Suicide Room," a place for suicidal people to come together. This is where he meets Sylvia, a severely depressed shut-in girl whom the members of the Room call their, "Queen." Despite their attraction to each other, Sylvia slowly brings Dominik into a mental state and completely different world in which the only way out is death.

This movie will become one of my favorites. The acting was superb, the plot was well thought out, and you're probably wondering how a movie about killing yourself can be enlightening, but it is in its own way.

I would reccomend this movie. It does have major profanity, violence, and extremely graphic nudity. But if you can handle it, go for it. I think you'll like it as much as I do.

Yes, it is in Polish, but don't fret, you can buy it on iTunes with English subtitles for $14.99 (USD), or rent for $3.99 (USD). As well, it is available on Netflix.

Remeber, suicide is never the answer.

Welcome!

As the first post on my first blog, I want to say, "Welcome!" and, "Wow." I have really wanted to have my own blog for a while now and was so happy when I came of age and the time was right to do so. I am not quite sure where this blog is going to go. Like it's said in the title, I plan on talking about writing (my own and others), books, etc. and out-of-the-blue, random stuff. Like I might find something on Facebook or a real life experience and share it with you.
I have quite a few obsessions that may or may not be talked about frequently. They include the NFL team, the Green Bay Packers, Shakespeare, and True Blood. So if I tend to go on and on about them, please excuse me.
I plan on having the first real post up soon. See ya then. Bye!
