In my opinion, it's مزید depressing than scary


------------------------------------------------------------------

I like to think I live a nice life. I own a cozy, 3 bedroom ہوم in a quiet neighborhood in the suburbs. I have a wife I care about deeply and a 9 سال old son who is my world. I enjoy my job as an accountant, and I'm well recognized in the community. I can confidently say I greatly enjoy living and appreciate all that I have earned. I only wish my entire life had been like this.

آپ see, throughout my teens and early adulthood, I suffered from severe anxiety issues stemming from an experience in my youth; one that nearly ruined my life. I had done something that haunted me for nearly 15 years. It was only after 3 different psychiatrists and many sleepless nights that I was able to forgive myself and learn to live again. Fortunately, my memories of those days are cloudy, and the scars have long healed. I will now try my best to recollect the events that unfolded that summer of 1978 as best as I can.

My memory is a bit faded, but I distinctly remember various things in my childhood. I remember playing little league baseball, drawing my پسندیدہ super heroes to tag on my wall, going on bike rides to the corner store to buy candy & baseball cards, and staying out late on summer nights to play "jailbreak" with my neighborhood friends. In addition to all of these things, I was also a first سال boy scout. I remember going to the elementary school auditorium every Wednesday after school dressed in my uniform.

In a troop of about 15 kids my age, I learned all kinds of things from آگ کے, آگ safety to wildlife preservation. As a kid who grew up miles away from any forests, the lessons seemed incredibly abstract, yet entirely fascinating. I had never been camping before in my life, and the picture these lessons painted appealed to me greatly. Needless to say, after hearing about that year's 2-week long summer retreat, I was determined to attend. My parents were quite protective over me (they still are) and they were a bit concerned because I had never left ہوم longer than a دن یا two, but after days of persistent bugging, they reluctantly agreed to send me.

That July, I was shipped off to Roaring Run Boy Scout Camp located in Boswell, PA only about 2 hours from my home. Coincidentally, it is still a summer camp, only under an entirely different name and affiliation. As we drove up the beaten gravel path, I remember looking in awe at the endless rows of trees and the rustic cabins on either side of the road. We came out to a wide clearing with all of the main buildings of the camp, and I noticed my troop leader in the distance among a handful of other troop leaders organizing their scouts. After my parents spoke briefly with my scoutmaster about various specifics of camp, my mother gave me a kiss on the cheek, and then they were off. I could hardly contain my excitement for the week.

We were paired up with several troops from neighboring towns because only a small amount of us showed up from each troop. We placed all of our belongings in our cabin, "Blue Ridge," one of the cabins I saw as I drove into camp.

Afterwards, we returned back to the main field and slowly got to know each others' names سے طرف کی playing various games. I quickly got to know just about all of them, but one in particular stood out to me. He was small; a lot smaller than the rest of us had been. He had frail limbs and messy blond hair, and the buttons on his شرٹ, قمیض were not evenly buttoned. He hadn't کہا a word since he got there, and I noticed a few of the scouts from his troop were pushing him around a bit and picking on him during the games.

For the sake of anonymity, he'll be known as Michael. Taking the game at hand very seriously, I soon disregarded this bullying and continued on. I did notice that سے طرف کی the time رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا rolled by, several scouts from the other troops started picking on him as well.

That night, all the scouts on camp gathered to a bonfire located just past the main field in an outdoor auditorium of sorts. After reciting our honor code, the head counselor stepped آگے and informed us about all the great activities ahead of us. There was swimming, canoeing, rifle/bow shooting, scavenger hunts, hikes, competitions, and nights under the stars all waiting for us, and I was ecstatic. After a speech on our core responsibilities as boy scouts to the environment and community, we were dismissed to our کیبن for the night, a 10 منٹ walk from the main field. Our scout masters had forgotten something back at the main camp, so they left to go retrieve it.

Alone, nearly all of the scouts began picking on Michael. It started rather innocent, but grew a lot worse once another scout found a stuffed animal tucked under the blankets of Michael's bunk. It was a sickly looking creature; obviously enduring many years of abuse and quite frail. They started throwing the برداشت, ریچھ back and forth, and Michael had no choice but to stand and watch. The riot in the کیبن began to spread, and it came to a point where the ringleaders of the bullying criticized the few of us who weren't picking on him.

"This is my first boy scout trip ever!" I thought to myself. I wanted to be one of the cool kids. I asked myself, "What if I'm the اگلے they start bullying?" At that ignorant age, I somehow thought my life would be over if these two weeks turned sour. My cowardice got the best of me, and I hit a turning point; the start of a series of events that would devastate me for years to follow. I went over to Michael's bunk and grabbed the برداشت, ریچھ from another scout holding it over Michael's head. With a strong pull, I ripped its head clean off and the entire کیبن boomed with roars as cotton rained from the now decapitated bear.

The look on Michael's face turned from frustrated to a depressing frown. That damn look on his face is still burned into my memory. For a brief moment, I felt a wave of extreme guilt. I had been raised better, and I knew my mom would be disappointed if she knew. However, I quickly forgot about it as the entire کیبن continued their outburst of laughter and praised me with comments.

I was in. Just as the scout masters returned, one of them shouted, "What on earth is going on in here!?" We all grew silent, expecting to pay the price for destroying the bear. Michael showed little emotion. He gathered the cotton he could from the floor and retreated to his bunk without saying a word. We expected him to tell on us, but all he did was pull the covers on سب, سب سے اوپر of him and lay silently. We thought we had just lucked out... God, I wish Michael had just spoken up and got us in trouble right then and there...

My 15 منٹ of fame had gotten to my head, and I longed to be praised more. It was odd. I didn't dislike Michael, yet I resorted to calling him names and pushing him around just for the shallow acceptance of my peers. As I write about it now, a great deal of guilt and shame is returning. If only I had known what my actions would lead to... a دن passes. It is now the third day.

I'm unsure if this is still customary for boy scouts, but back then, we all had a few pieces of equipment to look after, particularly our mess tins, which we used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On the third afternoon of camp just before lunch, I had a perfect joke in mind. I talked with the other kids in my cabin, and convinced them all to leave their mess tins on their bunks so that we could force Michael run back and retrieve them. Though pretty innocent compared to the other things Michael put up with that week, my کیبن mates thought it was brilliant. This is where it all began.

We all piled into the chow hall and found our seats. Michael was last to walk in, and took a نشست at the end of the میز, جدول with his head down, mess tin in hand. I spoke up, "Hey Michael, we all kinda forgot our mess tins in the cabin...think آپ could get them for us pal?" A few of the guys chuckled. Michael didn't move. I spoke up. "Michael, it'd be a real shame if آپ didn't listen to us. Now go get our mess tins!" Reluctantly, Michael got up and walked out the door. "I can't believe آپ got him to do that," one kid said. "What a puss," another said. "You're the man!" the kid to my right کہا to me. We all got a pretty great hoot about it.

10 منٹ pass.

"What the heck is taking him so long? I'm hungry!" I said. "He's probably fumbling all of our mess tins!" one said. "That pansy better get his پچھواڑے, گدا back here," another said.

30 منٹ pass.

No Michael. "He probably just got lost," I thought to myself.

An گھنٹہ passes.

We all figured he defied us to stay in the cabin. With empty stomachs, we were furious, and planned to deal hell when we found him. We arrived back at the cabin. No Michael, but our mess tins were missing from our beds. The scout masters had noticed Michael's absence, and had us come with them to see if he was somewhere back at the main camp. They left us in the main field while they searched. 30 مزید منٹ passed. It hadn't hit any of us that anything bad could have happened. "He probably had to take a shit!" one kid said.

We all laughed, mainly at the profanity. Our scout masters seemed to have been gone forever, so we started to play games in the woods. We had just finished our third game of tag, when we heard something coming down the road. Two police cruisers came into light, and drove past us toward the main building. I think we all had an idea there was something wrong, but looked for other explanations. "You... uhh... think this is about Michael?" one said. "No way, there's probably just a برداشت, ریچھ یا something!" another said. Logical enough for us at 10 years old.

It was about 6 hours past lunch, and we had nothing to do but lay in the grassy clearing. Just as before, we heard a sound coming down the road, only much louder. An influx of cars began coming up the mountain... our parents? Yes, but their cars are also accompanied سے طرف کی police cars mixed in between them, مزید than I had ever seen at one time. I recognized "Johnstown Police Department," on the sides of a few of them. Odd. They were from a small city at least 30 منٹ away. One سے طرف کی one, we were intercepted سے طرف کی our parents and taken back down the beaten gravel road.

I was one of the last, but just as the others, I saw my parents come up the road. Once my father saw me, he stopped the car, and they both got out. "Come on sweetie, camp is over." my mother said. I responded, "But it's only been 3 days. Why?" She paused, almost as if she were thinking of what to say. "A little boy went missing so the police are going to help find him. They just want to look for him without the other campers getting in the way. I'm sure he just wandered into the forest" Made sense, I thought. What was most peculiar, is at that moment, I hadn't even made the connection to Michael. "Must have been some other kid," I thought. "No way I had anything to do with this." I was pretty devastated that my week at camp ended so abruptly, but I got in the car and went ہوم nonetheless.

Two weeks had passed, and I finally made the connection that Michael may have been the one who went missing. Funny how a young kid can so easily ignore the most logical explanation. I noticed my parents had been acting a bit differently. They wouldn't allow me to attend the summer boy scout meetings anymore, and I was almost positive I heard my mother say she would never let her son leave the house again over the phone. Had I done something wrong? Little سے طرف کی little, I began to make ends meet, and thoughts of Michael came into my head.

I grew the intense curiosity only young kids are capable of having, and approached my father several times. Any time I asked about the missing boy, he would look away and respond to my سوال with, "I'm not sure. I haven't been checking the newspaper much lately." I knew he was lying. Every دن before work, my father was accustomed to lounging on the سوفی, لٹانا to catch up on sports and local news. It was clear there was something he was hiding from me.

I knew he had a habit of leaving old papers on his nightstand, so I went to investigate while he was at work. Just as I had hoped, newspapers stretching back 3 weeks lay before me. Starting from the oldest, I looked through them in hopes of finding my answer... a ha! Dated the دن after camp was canceled, I noticed the headline. "Search Begins for Jennerstown area boy scout." Michael's picture covered the front page. That must have been it... I skipped a week ahead and found another. "Search party for missing boy scout called off." Within the article, it described the mysterious disappearance of Michael who was last seen in the chow hall with his fellow scouts. I skipped several مزید days... my stomach turned sour.

"Bodily remains of child found at local Boy Scout camp." The headline made me sick, but I continued reading. Below is what I remember of the article.

Once the تلاش party was called off, Roaring Run was reopened, and campers returned. It was very hot and humid that week, and those who stayed in Blue Ridge complained of a foul stench in the کیبن the first few days. As the سیکنڈ week came by, the stench grew unbearable, and camp maintenance went to the کیبن looking to find the source. The first thing they noticed was an abnormally loose floorboard near the center of the cabin. When they uncovered the board, they made a shocking discovery. Underneath was the mangled, decomposing body of a young boy, partially buried سے طرف کی several mess tins... our mess tins. The crevice he was jammed in was filled with blood, and his face was bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. The only piece of evidence they found was a bloodied, decapitated teddy برداشت, ریچھ in his hands with a note inside reading, "Speicher." There were no witnesses یا suspects.

I hadn't fully realized what the course of my actions accomplished, but as I grew older, the guilt grew stronger, and I once nearly resorted to suicide. My actions killed an innocent human being... If I hadn't sent Michael back to get our damn mess tins, he would probably still be here. Fortunately, after many years, I am finally able to forgive myself of my actions so long ago.

Roaring Run was closed permanently, and the land was purchased سے طرف کی a logging company who used it for about 10 years. The land lay untouched until 1998, when it was purchased سے طرف کی a Marine Corps. general who turned it into a youth mentor camp.

Every once in a while when I visit my parents, I take a trip to the local library, and view the same archived headlines I discovered all those years ago. It's weird... what once caused me such pain and guilt for the greater part of my life has left me... desensitized. Though sometimes I can still see his desperate face that night I ruined his bear... if only I had known what was in store for the summer of 1978.

... Still, what does "Speicher" mean?

Even if آپ agree with Joel's decision to take Ellie away from the hospital.

Did he really have to kill the doctors?.. Espically in such a brutal fashion.

I haven't played the game. But is it possible he could of just talked to them?

No. Joel snaps. Having lost one daughter already, he decides that saving Ellie is مزید important than saving everyone else, and busts her out in a roaring rampage of bloodshed.

Theres no moral choice here. Joel has made the decision for Ellie "and the player".

Who "hasn't" teared up at seeing one of the few decent characters of Red Dead Redemption gunned down and left to be found سے طرف کی Abrigal and Jack.. And it leaves the question.. "Can one truly escape their past sins?".. John wasn't always the good man yousee in the game. It's implied was a complete monster at one point in time. This was bound to happen one point یا another.. But at least he died redeeming himself.. Finally doing something selfless (in truth, he only did all the events of the game for "his" benefit in the long run).

#1: RICK GRIMES



Rick is my پسندیدہ character in the comics, he's "okay" in the show.. I'm very mixed about Andrew Lincoln.

A lot of times, his fake American acent just sounds like it's trying to hard..

In the comic. He's just a fucking badass, period..

And lets not forget that speech

RICK: I killed Dexter to protect us! He was threatening to throw us out of this place.. OUR HOME!.. How humane would it of been out there!? How many people did we lose out there!?.. I saw an opening, I killed him.. I knew آپ people would be scared if you...

Well.. I'll say Sword was right about it being sad again.
But that would lead too him say

"I told آپ so"

And I'll say

"Don't have too rub it in"

And he'll say

"Yes I do"

And than he'll pour coffee onto me.

And I'll say

"Dick"

And he'll say

"Thank you"

either way.. I'm enjoying the funny episode while I can. Before I have too start crying again.
This دکھائیں is doing anything it can too depress us. Like it's the shows job.. Too kick us in the balls and say "Life sucks, deal with it"

The دکھائیں is an asshole.

So.. Here's another review..

The strory Nina reads is weird.. Especially the way she reads it.
I'd say I understand it now. But.. I don't.
This so is so confusing.

But hey. It's like THE ACCOUNTANT. I had no idea what exactly happened, just watched for the gun fights, and was happy.

This دکھائیں has kind of animation.. All عملی حکمت have that sort of odd animation, where people look like pictures, not normal people at times.

But hey.. Good episodes I guess.. The hitman seems dead. Guess now Johan actually has too "do stuff", witch must suck for him xD

So now we're at season two.. I watched the first four episodes

If I'm being 100% serious, this isn't really the greatest دکھائیں ever.. It's good and all. great cast.

But it's so friggin depressing.. And not really mixed in with any real laughs.
The vibe this دکھائیں is giving me is that life sucks, there's no joy in life, and nothing has any true meaning in life.

So.. Yeah..

But hey.. I would be lying if there were NO jokes.

Like the facts the Carlene STILL believes the little kid is a real person, and not a obvious disguise.

And Todd going back too his lack of confidence after ONE tiny insult.

So yeah.....

#1: SERGEANT SPRINKLES - CUPCAKES:
Let me put this out of the way.
I reread cupcakes.. And truth is.. It actually SUCKS.
I realize now, the story itself isn't what inspired me.
It's the WAY it's told that inspired me.
I mean.. That writer is so amazing..Too bad the actual plot is so god awful.
And for all those that say it ruined how they saw Pinkie.
Seems too me like آپ wouldn't of had much hope for her in the first place, if a stupid creepy پاستا ruins her so instantly..


#2: WHOEVER WROTE, JEFF THE KILLER:
There's actually some really well made story writing.
Too bad it's about JEFF..


#3: ALEXTHEHERETIC...

I think I seen episode 9 before.
Well, at least the scene where Todd discovers the truth of his rock opera.

It's funnier now that I know what he's actually talking about.
Aaron paul's voice is so funny when having a character like Todd trying to actually "think".

And the fact it WASN'T revenge, is too funny.

I love آپ Todd..


Anyway.. The دکھائیں is certainly a lot deeper now.
Sometimes it's a good thing.. But sometimes it's a depressing thing.. Mixes between those things.


We're almost done season 1 anyway, اگلے week شامل میں me for the conclusion of season 1..

While SAW 1 is actually one of the greatest فلمیں I know.

Saw 2 is مزید what people THINK of when آپ talk about the Saw films.

Though, out of the many sequels this is probably the most interesting one.
There are EXTREMELY stupid victims in this one, and I'm here to honour their death, سے طرف کی laughing at the stupidity of their decisions.

Well episode 2 was kinda pointless at the last half.. Guess I'll try improving this series a little.

Trixie: Sorry.. I thought آپ were still mad at me.. I mean, I tried to kick Twilight out of town and then tried to do the same to you..

Saten: Yeah. About that.. Why me? Why were آپ so mad at me!?

Trixie: Ohh, I don't know.. Maybe it's the fact that آپ were the only one in high school that EVER cared for me.. That آپ meant the world to me.. That I LOVED you!.. But آپ never...

sorry for the delay.. I thought I was sick yesterday. But turns out it's indigestion یا something.

Anyway.. Guess I got my wish.
Something is actually "happening" now.

I thought THE BABY would lead to the دکھائیں becoming my exciting, but turns out it's that other guy. Whatever his name is. The bodyguard that betrayed the guy in episode 21.

As usual, I don't really have much to say. But it did convince me to rewatch episode 4.
I think that's my favourite episode so far. It reminds me why I'm watching it, moments like episode 4.
یا even that shootout in episode 21.

Oh well, hopefully this means I'm done the moments of "convincing myself" to keep watching this show. And actually have things happen now. :)
I decided, if I'm gonna be a reviewer, I should give REAL reviews..

Like I کہا before.

The humour seems a bit..

"ayeeayh.. Mwa"

Same reaction to the humour in FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC.

Guess it always was, even "I" don't really get how I ended up watching every episode..

Plus, I'm so busy trying to review MONSTERS, guess I'm somewhat distracted.

But I guess I'll continue, if I don't like it سے طرف کی the end of season 1, least I can say "I tried".

Anyway,

I do POSITIVES to say as well.

I can understand the point BoJack was trying to make, with the veterans. But the "way" he said, made him seem like a asshole,...
