Best of the “Y U No” guy

There’s the troll meme, (my personal favorite), the “forever alone” meme, the guy who eats cereal, the weird chinese guy (who I don’t understand) and countless other cartoon characters that are clogging up my News Feed with funny pictures, making it impossible for me to focus on anything. The pictures below (in no order whatsoever) are my favorite of them. If you click on them you’ll be taken to the place I got it.

Mockingjay Review

via wikipedia

(Warning: Huge spoilers ahead! Don’t read if you are planning on reading the book for the first time soon.)

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.

It is well-known fact that the last book/movie of a trilogy is either destined to disappoint or do great. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was the 2nd best book and was the two best movies of the Harry Potter Franchise. Meanwhile, Spiderman 3 was the worst of all three movies, and X-Men 3 was the worst of the trilogy too. Breaking Dawn was horrible too, but that doesn’t really count since the whole series already sucked.

Mockingjay, sadly, went into the “disappoint” category. Don’t get me wrong, it was still an okay book. In fact the first 75% of the book was very good. The war scenes were awesome, I very much approved of Peeta’s “hijacking” and Prim had a way more exciting role. Prim surprises Katniss at how strong-willed and mature she has become, and turns out to be a very skilled doctor in District 13. That’s hot…

(Mike starts to write a fan-fiction story where Prim and him run away together.)

Anyway, I’m going to make a list of all the things I didn’t like about this book.

• Finnick’s death. He died so quickly and Katniss didn’t seem to care. There was only a paragraph or two about him and that was it. It was disrespectful to his awesome character.
• Katniss’s mission into the Capitol to kill President Snow. It was completely pointless. By the time almost everyone in her group had died, they had got nothing done, and the rebels were already closing in on Snow. The only point of the whole thing was for almost everyone in the group to die.
• The Peeta/Gale love triangle. It ended so randomly with a tiny little chapter at the end. She said “Gale was probably kissing some other girl now” or something like that. But it was so obviously not true, he will always be thinking about her, but knows that she will never be able to think of him without thinking of Prim’s death. I was hoping that either Peeta or Gale would die in an extremely brutal death scene. (Something with blood splattering everywhere), this way, Katniss would only have one choice, and it would be impossible for her to make the wrong decision since there was only one of them left.
• Prim’s death. Prim!!!! We could have ran away together!! Instead she had to die, in the most painful way possible: Being lit on fire. Oww. I hope it was a quick death, because her remaining seconds must have been pretty painful. I can’t stand the pain of that tiny burn I got from putting my hand in the toaster, let alone all of my body and 10 times as hot. It just seemed unnecessary, maybe because I loved her more than I had ever loved a real person. Wasn’t the scene with the children getting killed by exploding parachutes brutal enough? Collins had just killed off dozens of little kids giving them a glimpse of hope that they’ll get food, but instead they took an explosion to face. If that’s not horrible enough she decides to light a main character, who was just trying to help out, on fire. Why!?!?!? Wasn’t she the whole reason why Katniss decided to rebel in the first place? Why’d the rebels bomb the kids in the first place?

Anyway, I feel like ending this review on a positive note. Here are a few positive things about the book:

• Katniss’s character. People complain about how her character had digressed from the character we all loved. My response is: Do you have any idea what she’s been though? She’s been forced to kill other people in order to survive twice, watched Cinna get brutally murdered right in front of her with nothing she could do, lived in poverty for 16 years. Had one of her love interests ‘hijacked’ into thinking she’s evil, and had the other one indirectly kill her sister. And she watched Rue die. Poor Rue.
• The whole ‘bombing the little kids’ things. If it wasn’t for the fact that it killed Prim, it would have been great. It was disturbing, thinking about a bunch of little kids on fire, but it was awesome, just the way I like it. I also like the war scenes in District 8 and 2. They were mad cool.Mad cool.
• The line, “closing my eyes doesn’t help, fire burns brightest in the dark.” That was the greatest line ever. So deep….
• Snow, manipulating Katniss into killing Coin. I like villains like that.
• Katniss killing coin. HUGE twist. But necessary, because she was the evil !@#$ who killed Prim. And there couldn’t be another Hunger Games, that wouldn’t be good at all.

What did you think of the final book of the Hunger Games Trilogy?

Catching Fire Review

(Warning: There are spoilers.)

After reading “The Hunger Games” I was so impressed that I searched all over town for the book, and when i got it, I noticed a plot hole.

In book 1 both Peeta and Katniss got chips in their arms so the Capitol could track them down, but then in book 2 they got a second chip implanted in their arm. But they already had one from the first games. Katniss said earlier in the book that she still had the chip in her so President Snow can track her. Furthermore, they never needed to get chips in their arms again.

WORST BOOK EVER!

Okay, it was a minor flaw in an otherwise very good book. In fact it’s such a minor plot hole that I don’t see why it even matters. In fact, it’s a pretty good book.

Suzanne Collins is really good at making the readers hate the Capitol, and President Snow. If I had the chance, I would have stabbed him myself.

Finnick is introduced. And he is awesome! He’s charming, a great swimmer, and is great at killing people. Kind of like me.

This is also the book I began to switch to Team Gale’s side. Peeta’s a wimp who bakes bread. Gale is working in a coal factory 12 hours a day, even though he could of accepted the money Katniss offered him,  but he turned it down, because he’s cool like that.

And Prim’s back and better than ever! She helped heal Gale’s wounds! She deserves her own book. It should be called “The Adventures of Prim” and it will be her perspective of Katniss going into the Hunger Games. Finnick and Haymitch deserve a book about them too. Buttercup should have one too, I bet he’s done stuff that haunts him to this day.

But despite all the amazing things I just mentioned, I have one complaint. Around the beginning of Part 2, things got a tad bit boring. Katniss basically spent the whole time either deciding if she likes Peeta or Gale, or deciding if she should rebel or not. Luckily it began to pick up the moment President Snow announced that they would be in the Hunger Games again.

I was shocked that he would really do that to her, and applauded Collins for it (literally), but I felt like it would be a lot like “The Hangover II”, that it would be almost an exact copy of the original. But it wasn’t. I didn’t feel any deja-vu at all. Good job Collins! I can forgive the whole “having 2 ‘L’s in your name” thing.

Stay tuned tomorrow for Mockingjay review. It sure is a doozy!

The Hunger Games Review

 (Warning: There are several spoilers in this review, not just this book, but the next two books in the series.)

I read the “Hunger Games” Trilogy. And I LOVED IT! I gobbled up all  the words like a ferocious beast from Middle-Earth, and boy did all those sentence taste good. They tasted like chocolate milk- it tasted great, and it’s impossible to drink it slowly.

And the book did have a ‘chocolaty’ tone to it.

Anyway, out of ten, I would rate the book a 9.8. Because I strongly dislike the fact that Suzanne Collins has two ‘L’s in her last name. It really pisses me off, but it was a minor flaw, because all the main characters had an amazing name, and none of them had two “L”s put together. Suzanne must have learned from her parents’ mistakes.

Anygalore, the whole premise was as captivating as my snow-globe collection (that’s a huge compliment) and it had me hooked. I heard it was a lot like a book called “Battle Royale”, but in my mind, that book doesn’t exist. The whole time I was wondering who was going to come out alive. I knew Katniss was getting out alive, since there’s two more books after it, but my friend decided to spoil the book for me, telling me that two people made it out alive. He said more, but that was all I heard before I covered my ears and screamed “lalalala” until he stopped.

(Sidenote: To all you cynical bastards out there who like to spoil the endings for other people who have just started reading, please stop. It ruins the whole point of reading the book. Rue gets stabbed.)

I also loved all the characters. They were 3 dimensional and very likable, especially Prim. I loved Prim, especially in the later books. She was amazing, caring, and if she went to my school I would have given her the “student of the week” award. Not because she’s an exceptionally good student or anything, but because half of the kids in my school are either wannebee gangstas, don’t care about school because ‘they’ll just be a NASCAR driver when they grow up” or are actual gangstas who light trashcans on fire during school hours (True Story) Anyway, I love Prim, and would totally ask her out, where she would reject me, sending me to have an emotional breakdown and become addicted to ice-cream. I just hope she doesn’t die or anything in the later books, and even if she does, at least it won’t be in an extremely painful and completely unnecessary death. Sigh.

I’m also split between team Peeta and team Gale. Peeta’s love story that he told Katniss about how he tried to talk to her at school but couldn’t gather up the courage was very romantic (if not creepy), but it proves that he actually does love her, and the fact that Katniss is so clueless about it shocks me. Gale, while not having as awesome of a name as Peeta and not very smooth-talking, he actually helped Katniss survive. When she left, he made sure her family wouldn’t starve, and have been hunting with her for years. Yes, Peeta did use the fact that they were in love that eventually ended with them both surviving in the end, but other than that, he did nothing!

I take that back. Peeta using that strategy was awesome, and he is awesome for saving kind-0f saving Katniss’s life. I’m Team Peeta! Woo!

Of course my opinion shifted a bit with each book. By the end of the series I (censored and saved for later posts)

And that was my review of the Hunger Games, what did you think?

PS: I’m sorry if I offended anyone with two “L”s in their name. I would like to make sure you know that I meant that having two “L”s is only bad in the last name, not the first. So any of you Holly’s and Jill’s out there, live a happy life knowing that I don’t hate you.

Problems with life: People who use the word “Stalker” too much.

I don’t know why people are so upset about people stalking their Facebook profile. I would love to have someone who scrolls through all my photos each day and likes all my statuses and follows me without me knowing and watches me while I sleep.

Okay, maybe not the last two, but you get the point. Only popular people have stalkers, so if you’re one of those people who have stalkers out there, don’t complain, be happy that you are important enough to be stalked. But the moment he/she starts sending you texts about how cute you look while you’re sleeping, that’s when you call the cops.

But I just hate it when people call me a stalker for commenting on a photo or like a status, because those people clearly don’t know the definition of a stalker. One time I commented on this guy’s status and it went a wee bit like this:

Me: *comments on friend’s Facebook status*

Paranoid/annoying friend: Wow! Why are you going through my facebook profile? You stalker mcstalkeropants.

Me: It was on my news feed.

Paranoid/annoying friend: Pfft! Yeah Right! Stalking Galore!!!

He didn’t actually say galore, but you get the point.

Sooner or later, the word “Stalker” is going to be the new “LOL” or “Hi.” Conversations are going to go like this:

Zebra 1: Stalker, what’s up?

Zebra 2: Nothing much, Stalker, u?

Zebra 1: You would wanna know, you Stalker!!

Zebra 2: Me??? You’re the stalker, stalker!

Is that the world you want to live in?

NO!

Stop saying “Stalker” unless there’s a gun to your head. Or a zebra’s in trouble.

Ironically, I used the word “Stalker” in this post 15 times.

Problems with Life.

The Zebra Clan is back after me not posting in  a while. I would tell you why I haven’t been posting in a while, but you’re probably already used to all my lies about how I have been having too much homework or some other completely made up thing. I like to fib. Grr….

Anyway, since the “Awesome things in life” posts are gone, (And he’s never coming back, Jack!) I’m making a new series called the Problems with life. It’s basically the complete opposite of “The Awesome Things in Life”, it’s like the evil, anti-social twin that hates people… and bugs.

Galore!

It starts tomorrow, since no one will be on this site today, since there’s this weird thing called the “Superbowl” or something. It’s basically three hours of funny commercials, and I think there’s a football game or something in-between them.

This will be the official picture of the “Problem’s with Life” category.

See what I did there? I put Squidward in because Squidward is a grumpy guy who hates everything!! Although you can’t really blame him. He has two annoying neighbors who go into his house without permission and has a crappy job with very VERY low pay and he’s horrible at the clarinet.

The Joys of being an Honor-Student

Being in honors has it’s ups and downs. Mostly ups. Yes, there’s a slight chance that you’ll spend most of you nights crying in the corner and trying to stop your tears with lots and lots of chocolate (God I wish I was kidding) but there is still lots of advantages that will make it worth it.

1. You know more than everyone else in your grade. There is no greater feeling than knowing that if you and that kid sitting next to you in lunch were in a race to find the epicenter of an earthquake, you’d probably win. Of course the chances of that happening or slim to none, it’s still a nice thought. The only problem is when the kids who aren’t in honors ask you for help on homework and stuff. My response is always “Eww, regular people, get them away from me!” 
2. You have an excuse for not being able to get a girlfriend. Just say to your “super cool regular friends” that the reason you don’t have a girlfriend is because “There’s like, no hot girls in honors” and they’ll agree with you and even feel bad for you. Even though it’s a complete stereotype that there are no attractive people in honors (there are few) but every regular kid thinks that. I’m not sure if this works for girls too, you should try it out, female readers who are in honors.
3. If you start Honors in Junior High, High School is so much easier. Thanks to Honors classes, I have three more credits going into High School than my regular friends. That’s three free periods for me to do what ever I want. I think I’m going to learn to water-ski…
4. The term “Regular People” is used a lot, to the point where it starts to become more of a racial slur. Some of us super cool Honors kids will make “Regular people jokes” It’s basically like blonde jokes and Yo Mama Jokes. (Example: How do you confuse a Regular Student? You can’t, they’ve always been like that.) Of course, we know that regular students aren’t dumb, we’re just smarter and better than anyone else. It’s sad to think that no one will ever compare to us.
5. You can tease siblings that aren’t in Honors. My older brother is furious because I’m learning the same stuff as him and he’s two grades ahead of me. I’ve even offered to tutor him, just to get him mad. Isn’t brotherly love amazing? (By the way, yesterday he started hitting me with a shovel for some reason, he must of thought there was snow on me or something..)
6. People in Honors classes actually watch (and enjoy) The Big Bang Theory. I don’t know a single kid not in honors that likes the Big Bang Theory. They’re too busy obsessing over Twilight and the Jersey Shore (sigh) 

Those are six awesome reasons to join Honors. Of course, there is awesome downsides, like lack of sleep, harder classes and being nagged over and over again by teachers who are always expecting us to not talk as much because we’re in honors. That’s a Stereotype!  A stereotype!  A Stereotype!!

And sorry if I offended any regular people, especially those not in honors who do like The Big Bang Theory and hate Twilight and The Jersey Shore. See how I didn’t underline Twilight or the Jersey Shore but I did underline The Big Bang Theory? That’s because they don’t deserve to be underlined. They’re lucky I even bothered to capitalize them.

PS: When I post pictures and link them to someone else’s site, to they get a notification?

How the Hunger Games ruined my New Year’s Resolution

As most of my viewers know, my resolution for 2012 was to have a post everyday for the whole year. Unfortunately, like 70% of every other New Year’s resolution ever made, it failed within the first month. Yes, I am ashamed. You must be so disappointed, but I have a pretty good excuse. I discovered the Hunger Games-by Suzanne Collins.

I never got a chance to read that book since the book in my school library is always checked out, and I’m kicked out of the public library because instead of handing “Bridge to Terabithia” like a normal person, I ripped out every page of it, crumbled it into a ball and threw it at them. I know, I shouldn’t have taken my anger out on them, but I just hated that book. Anyway, I had the Hunger Games on loan in my school library for about a month and, (finally) last Wednesday, I got my hands on it. Sadly, for the entire school week I had no chance to read it since I was overloaded with homework and there was 5 tests that all happened to be on one day, as if the teachers planned it like that. But finally, after finishing 5 boring days of school and passing 3/5 of my tests, I finally had the chance to read the book. What happens next is 48 hours of me either:

• reading the book
• thinking about the book
• sleeping
• eating

and I finished it in 2 days. 2 AWESOME days, that is. I was obsessed, the book was the greatest book I’ve read in a very long time. I barked at people who interrupted me, I skipped a couple meals, and avoided civilization altogether. But seriously, now that I’m done with the Hunger Games, you can expect more quality posts from me.

..unless I get “Catching Fire”

My Conversation on Omegle

There’s not much time for me to write a quality post today. So I’ll just post a pic of one of my conversations I had on Omegle.

 

 

 

Top Ten Best episodes of “How I Met your Mother”

How I met your mother is probably one of the greatest shows in the history of television. It is the one show (besides Lost) that I have watched every episode more than twice each. It’s hilarious and has an emotional touch to it. But, sadly, sometimes there’s an episode that leaves me disappointed. Here is a list of the 10 greatest episodes of How I met your mother.

10: The Perfect Week: Oh, Barney and his womanizing ways! This was a hysterical episode, one of the best of season 5. 

  9: The Sweet Taste of Liberty: This was the first episode that we get to see exactly how far Barney will go just to have an adventure.

           8:  Arrivederci, Fiero: Watching Barney try to drive a car made my stomach hurt from laughing so hard. Plus, I love the song “500 miles” that played in every flashback in the car.  

            7:The Pineapple Incident: 5 words: What’s up with the pineapple?

         6:  Blitzgiving: Why do I love this episode? I’ll name a few things: The guy from Lost, Wang guy, the Blitz, The Gentlemen, the “Lost” references, and the fact that the gang was all over the place in this episode already makes an amazing episode in just a regular sitcom, but the clever writers of this episode made it more than just good, but an instant classic.  

           5: Slapsgiving: Oh, how I love all the slap puns! And watching Barney freak out is always nice. 

          4: Ten Sessions: I always liked Stella (Not as much as Victoria), but even if you didn’t like her, you have to love the pacing and comedy of this episode as Ted tries to convince Stella to date him within 10 Tattoo-removal sessions. Plus, an amazing 2 minute date that “Big Time Rush” tried to pull off, but didn’t even come close to the epicness of this episode.

           3: Girls Vs. Suits: Barney’s song made this episode: 

          2: Slap Bet: is a classic episode of How I met your mother, starting 2 gags that lasted throughout the entire series. Plus, there are alot of slaps. 6 slaps, to be exact.

            1: The Playbook: Season 5 was a low time for the show, luckily this episode came along and blew the mind-socks off of us viewers. Watching all of Barney’s schemes to get women was hilarious, with simple ones like “The Don’t Drink That!” Complex ones like “The Lorenzo Von Matterhorn” which gave me the idea to create a fake Facebook account Herald Von Geramix. And finally there’s a ridiculously complex scheme called the “Scuba Diver” that only a genius can pull off. That genius is Barney.

Other awesome galore episodes were: Robin 101, Intervention, The Ducky Tie, Disaster Averted, The Naked Man, the Wedding Bride, and Tick Tick Tick. How Lily Stole Christmas.

Any other “How I met Your Mother” fans out there? If so, what was your favorite episodes?
