HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Click Here!

^^^^^^^^^

Yep, the video of the day is my edited mash up of Halo and Battle: Los Angeles! I would love to get more views on it, and it get more popular! :)

Well, its 2:30 in the morning. This Christmas Break has completely screwed up my internal clock. I'm not even tired, and I think I'll be up for longer. Its gonna suck having to go back to school!

Well, It's officially 2012. And honestly, I've never really understood why we celebrate it. I mean, we're celebrating an interval of time that we as humans set up, helping to categorize time. And we completed a cycle. Its just like any other day, just today happened to be on the place where our calenders stopped recording. Don't get me wrong, I still celebrate it and party n such, I just don't really see what the big deal about it is. And why do we care that we finished another year? Do we expect that the world will end every year, then celebrate us cheating death? Kinda a strange holiday if you ask me.

Anyway, today was like most holidays. Woke up, and spent the whole day with family and friends. Gotta love it! Played some games, ate brunch, played games, ate dinner, went to Joey's house and partied! Woot!
Then I went home to play BF3 with David and James until the new year, and kept playing until they needed to sleep. Left a party to play video games? Fo sho. I don't care, I had loads of fun either way!

FOOTBALL.

The last week of the regular season is tomorrow, and there's so many playoffs spots yet to be determined! The AFC West and NFC East both hang in the balance, and both conference Wild Card spots are still open! Its gonna be crazy! Here is my projected bracket:

AFC PLAYOFFS:

AFC EAST Champion: New England Patriots (First Round Bye)

AFC NORTH Champion: Baltimore Ravens (First Round Bye)

AFC SOUTH Champion: Houston Texans (3rd Seed)

AFC WEST Champion (Still up in the air): Denver Broncos (4th Seed)

WILD CARD TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinatti Bengals (Gut feeling)

NFC PLAYOFFS:

NFC NORTH Champion: Green Bay Packers (First Round Bye)

NFC SOUTH Champion: New Orleans Saints (First Round Bye With Win and 49er's Loss)

NFC WEST Champion: San Francisco 49er's (First Round Bye With Win and Saints Loss)

NFC EAST Champion (Still up for grabs, winner take all tomorrow): New York Giants (4th Seed).

WILD CARD TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions

That's my predictions/what has already been clinched.
It's crazy. I'm a Bronco fan, yet I'd never thought I'd be cheering for the Chargers AND Chiefs to win in the same week. All we need is for the Chargers to beat the Raiders, and we clinch the division. Personally, with Kyle Orton returning to Denver with a playoff spot on the line, I want the Chiefs to beat Denver. Just because I think it would be hilarious if the hated Orton came back to Denver and showed Tim Tebow what's up. I would laugh so hard. Considering all my fans hated me when I wanted Orton as my QB during the win streak. I would love for Orton to beat Tebow. It would be great for Orton coming back to the place where everyone hated him, then beating his preferred back up. HAHAHAHA man, I can't wait! I still think the Broncos will make the playoffs as the division champs, but losing to Kyle Orton would make my fantasy football epic fallout not as bad!
GO ORTON!!!

That's how I do.

Yes, it is as epic as it sounds.

I'm Ben and I'm an Editor....and..uh.. and a Mormon

Actually, you know what?
Scratch that, I'm not a Mormon.
Dumb dumb dumb dumb.

My Video!

The video of the day is that! ^^^^
That is my edited video called Halo: Los Angeles. I got Halo video content, but put actual audio from Battle: Los Angeles to it. I'm pretty proud of it! I want your opinion on it so leave it in the comments! And check out my YouTube channel in the following link! Subscribe!
Or don't, cause I don't upload stuff very often :)
Blub blub
:D (<<John Freeman!)

Anyway time for actual blog.
At 3 A.M.
Don't ask me why I'm up so late, cause I have no idea. I'm not even tired! And I have no one to talk to. :/
Any, my day consisted of waking up at David's house after a huge hangover.
Na, I'm kidding.
Spent the night there and it was awesome. It seems like Ian gets even more awesome the more I hang out with him.
Watched some Birdemic.
Please, don't watch it.
Got up, made James and David make us lunch, then we left. Because we are smart.
Got home, shaved my head. Well, got it cut. With a razor.
No, pictures will not be followed. You can thank me later.
Got some Qdoba, went to work, watch Battle: Los Angeles. Awesome movie.
I'll give a review for it next blog post :)

Got home, played Battlefield. Welcomed home my sister from San Diego! Beasted it up in the Holiday Bowl! Started on Halo: Los Angeles.
Finished it, waited for it to save, and watched some Rage Quit. Funny stuff right der.
And that was my day.
So essentially this whole blog post was to advertise my video.
With an Intrusive Subplot at the end.

Night Y'all! :)

My Honest Opinion

Click Here!!


^^^^^^^^^
That was my 100th liked video. It's pretty sweet!
Hello! :) I am at my work, watching Psych, and divulging into deep questions right now.
Time to explore my faith and beliefs. Gonna start off with homosexuality. :O OMG.

I'm not really sure why I'm writing about this or where I'm gonna start.
But I guess its because its becoming more of a prevalent issue in today's society. In fact, just a few weeks ago, I got into a fight on Facebook (Ok, I was trolling) over gay marriage, between me, some friends, and several mainstream public school hipsters that began bashing on Christianity. First off, we didn't instigate any hate at all (from what I could tell). I remember it started after a hipster called my friend a Christian prick for not believing in gay rights. At that point I couldn't resist. By that time it had become an argument, and I couldn't help myself from trolling it. It was great.
My opinion on homosexuality/gay marriage/gay rights?
I see it as a sin. Just like nearly everything else we do.
I see it homosexuality as a choice; we aren't born gay. Although I've seen lots of people say people are born gay, just so they have a reason to bash on God. And to say people are born gay is to call God a liar. He clearly writes in 1 Cor. 6: 9 that homosexuality is a sin.
I've heard people say its not a choice, its completely natural.
If it was natural, or we are born gay, it's probably because our genetics (Feel free to call me stupid at any point in the following paragraph).
And, if you believe its gay, you would probably believe in evolution/secular point of view on the world right? I.e, no God?
Based on that, and the evidence for evolution, if we are born gay, then the gene causing our homosexuality would have been naturally selected out millions of years ago.
Natural Selection = Undifferentiated Successful Sex. (Thank you Mrs. Lewis' AP class! :D)
That's the scientific definition. And since if you're homosexual, you're not going to have sex (well, with a female), which would mean you're probably not going to have babies, which means that the gene that cause homosexuality would eventually be naturally selected out of existence.
And no, in vitro fertilization won't work because I can guarantee you that prehistoric man didn't know what the hell that meant. 
And if its not genetic, then it has to be a choice. Just like how I am not genetically engineered to play baseball. Or be smart. Or suck at life.
(If that was a total logical fallacy let me know :))

Anyway,
back to the whole issue.
I view it as a sin (as mentioned earlier), and I think we should love the person, hate the sin.
No, I'm not going to be tolerant with homosexuals. If I did, I would have to be tolerant with murderers, liars, adulterers, etc.
I'm not going to tolerate sin. Period.
To me, homosexuality is just as wrong as killing, stealing, and every other sin.

I've also heard that if a man loves another man, why should we prevent them from loving each other?
Not supporting gay marriage doesn't do that. I love all of my guy friends. I don't have to be married to them to love them, so I don't see how we are stopping them from doing that.

I hear people claim all the time that people have the "right" to marry who ever they want. I don't think that's true.
Who gives them that right? As a Christian, I think God gives us our human rights, I don't think we decide for us.
And I also firmly believe that God set marriage between a man and a woman. That's it. Not between a man and a man, not between a woman and a woman.
"God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Hateful, I know, I found it kinda funny.
I also don't think we have any right at all to change what God has in place.
And at what point do we stop? When are we going to allow other sins to be tolerable: rape, bestiality etc?
No, I don't support gay marriage. I don't think its right.
I'm not sure what's gotten people so wound up about this subject. Its shocking, really. I don't see why heterosexuals get so passionate about gay rights. Enough to hate. It surprises me. I don't get it.
Maybe because its "cool?" Is it mainstream to support gay rights? Is it hipster? Did everyone get on the "Gay Rights" bandwagon?
Whatever it was, it started a chain reaction.
I pray that God will give the leaders of our government wisdom over this issue. I pray that the right choice will be made when the final decision is done.
If gay marriage is allowed, I pray that all of my fellow Christians will live like Christ, showing them love, compassion, treating them normally, and that we will be Witnesses to them.
Love the person, hate the sin.
Homosexuality. I think its a choice. A sin. God gave us free will, we aren't born gay, God isn't going to create somewhere gay, only to condemn them to hell.
That's my opinion on this touchy issue. We may disagree, I would love to discuss this :)
But ultimately, my opinion is right! :D

Sexy Sax Man!

Click Here!!!


^^^^^^^^^^

SOOOO.
FREAKING.
SEXY.


Well, i'ts my blog again! (Unfortunately). It's been like 48 hours since my last post, and my page view per day is dropping like a fat guy on rye bread. So, to save my blog, I decided to post a new post!?

The past few days have been intense. Working out at Caleb's house with the fatty, then going to Nolan's house. And doing everything. It was awesome! I would show you a link to his blog, but he is so popular.
So no.
Also discovered his lady friend doesn't like me.
I would give you link to her blog, but as mentioned before, she doesn't like me.
And I'm too lazy to go find it.
Mostly that. I mean come on, I'm so amiable. Nobody can dislike me.

So, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that the 400 or so songs I stole from James is now on my iTunes! (Through some trickery!)

The bad news is, that not all the songs transferred. And some of the songs got labeled as random letter configurations into 4 letter codes. They gave me the author and album, I just have to look in my iPod to find them. And some of them didn't give me an artist or album. It just gave me about 30 songs with 4 letter codes. Good thing I don't care enough to label them.

And right now as we speak I am fixing my music! Turns out about 96% of the unlabeled songs were from Angels and Airwaves. That should make it easy!

Moral of the story, I have about 500 more songs in my iTunes library. That makes me :D (No, not John Freeman).


Anyway, Nolan's house was epic. Playing non stop video games til 4 in the morning? Sign me up. Even if I don't have a gaming computer. Still awesome. Had a Taco Bell and King Soopers run. Got 3 2L Mountain Dews for $4! What a snatch! And I still have them in my garage. All to myself.......


Emotionally? I'm holding up (In case you were concerned. But you probably aren't. So you probably might wanna skip this section).
I'm happy on the outside, confused, regretful, lonely on the inside. Its strange. Yet another week of regretting breaking up with my ex. I'm not sure how to make it go away, maybe just time. Lots and lots of time...
Yep. I've felt incredibly lonely. Not like that I don't have friends. But that I don't have a special someone. I feel like something, or someone, is missing. And this past Christmas made me realize it. It sucks being single. I had Christmas, and I didn't spend it with anyone special. Just my family (I love my family, don't get me wrong). But being home alone on Christmas Day made me miss being able to call someone "mine."
Wanna know the kicker? I don't want a girlfriend. I've created my own emotional paradox. The best explanation that I can come up with is that I'm super hesitant to get into a relationship based on how the last one went. The last one was a fail, in my opinion, and I hate admitting it. I have this crazy idea incepted into my head that my next relationship will be exactly like the previous one. I know it's not true, I just doubt myself. Doubt that I can keep one going. And I was constantly being told what to do by some unnamed people, and I just know their going to do it again. Trust me, that gets annoying, real fast. I really wanted to punch them in the face. And with that came expectations. I hate not meeting up to expectations. And that's pretty much how these two individuals made me feel. And I have a gut feeling that they will do this with my next girlfriend.
So, in short, I'm super hesitant. Still scarred. Still scared. Still unsure.
I hate it, but that's how I am. I have an emotional war zone going on in my head: do I want a special someone or no? I wish I had an answer. Good news is that I don't see a girl coming along to fill the void in the near future :) more time to think! Or feel alone.
Take your pick.


And that's my blog! I hope you hated it.
Cause I did.

Ben's Blog: Holiday Edition!

Click Here!

^^^^^^^^^

Chocooooolate raiiinnnn!

Merry Christmas! This is the Holiday Edition! You want to know what makes it special?
Nothing.
Nothing at all.

Now here's a brief recap of of my day:

Slept in.
Woke up.
Ate some boss lunch.
Said goodbye to my sister.
Sat and did nothing for 4 hours while I was home alone.
Watched the last half hour of War of the Worlds.

RANT ALERT

Ok, so you know how the tripod kidnaps Rachel (The annoying Dakota Fanning), and Tom Cruise (The Boss) takes on the tripod single-handedly? Ok, he takes down the tripod with what, three grenades? The whole thing explodes. In a fiery explosion. From shrapnel? Do the Martians pack the inside of the tripod with nitro glycerin? And then when the Army finally decides to take on the tripod, they need 4, count it, 4 javelin missiles to take it down. So, you can throw 3 grenades into the innards of the tripod, or waste for perfectly good missiles and only partially take it down. Hollywood explosion diversion FTW.

Welcomed home Mom and Dad from the airport.
Played Battlefield 3.
Watched the Mormon episode of South Park.
Joseph Smith was called a prophet, dumb dumb dumb dumb.
Made things right with my ex. Which takes a huge weight off my shoulders.
Played more Battlefield with Taelyr. He's beast.
Watched the Chocolate Rain video. 5 times :)
Blogged.

Yep, that was my day. Suckish, right? And on Christmas of all days.
Oh well, gonna meet up with Caleb and David tomorrow. Should be a blast.

Cute? Yes.
Adorable? Yes.
Freaking hilarious? No doubt.
Funniest part at 31 seconds? Fo sho!

I keep reading statuses on facebook about Christmas.
Is that tomorrow or something?

Hellllloooooooo! Christmas blog!
 :D (<< Hello, John Freeman!)


Today we celebrated Christmas. On Christmas Eve. Why? Because my sister is dancing during the half time show of the Holiday Bowl! Watch some good 'ol college football, as the University of California plays the University of Texas! Wednesday at 5:00 on ESPN!! Watch it cuz my seester will be on the halftime show! It's awesome! She leaves tomorrow (Well, today technically) at 3, for a fun filled trip in San Diego!
It's gonna be boss. Even though I don't get to go.

Any, I gots lots of cool knick-knacks for Christmas! Here's the list:

Rockies Sweatshirt (Yes).
Rockies Shirt (My favorite).
Rockies Shirt (Again? You bet).
Rockies iPod skinit! (Because my iPod was looking bland :/ ).
Rockies Window decal (For the car!)
Rockies car, bottom, rubber, foot placer thing. (It's a thing that protects the floor of your car from the natural elements, such as fire, wind, earth and water. Although I think fire would pwn it....)
$50 (One of those twenties I accidentally ripped into 3 pieces while unwrapping it. Herp).
MLB 2K11 (In case you haven't figured it out, I kinda like the Colorado Rockies. And baseball in general :).
COD MW3 Shirt (Which I hope to be returning :)
BACON STRIPS SHIRT! OMG!
Athletic pants (Because I'm so athletic. Of course).
Chocolate (Who doesn't want chocolate?).
Silver coins (I'm gonna strike it rich with these things).
A nice dress shirt and tie (So I will look supa fly!).


And my Dad and Bro got Cowboys and Aliens, and Transformers 3 (respectively).
I count them as gifts too because I can watch them whenever! :)

So that was my day. Besides the fact that I totally failed at life during church while operating tech equipment, today was pretty awesome.

Keep it real dawgs.
