Video games and violence

I always hear these crazy theories about video games leading to violence, but I never believed them (until NOW). I am starting to believe that these theories may be right. I don’t think it’s games like Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty and other games that let you kill people or things, I believe the violence is caused by games like Candy Crush Saga. 

In shooter games you may get angry but you take it out on the virtual people in the game. In games like Candy Crush you get stuck on a level for nine months, and you can’t do anything but play that level (over and over again). You keep losing and losing and you start to feel that you will never beat it, you’re going to be a failure at level 31 for your entire life. You have nothing else to do in that game, no way to use that anger and frustration. 

All you can do is keep replaying that same level as a reminder of your failure. So you take your anger out on the real world. You scream at your family and friends. Punch a stranger in the face who just beat level 31 in front of you. Maybe you go out and do something terrible. All because you were stuck on this stupid level. 

So, guess what News People you were kind of right about the video game/violence correlation, but you were looking at the wrong games (or at least I think so).

Ceelo’s Pajamas

This week I learned that I want to be just like Ceelo (Green) when I grow up. No, I don’t want to be a judge on the voice, or make songs like “Forget You,” or be a part of the Dungeon Family. I want to be able to go out in public in my pajamas and have society be OK with it. 

This morning Ceelo was on the Today show with K. Lee and Hodi. He was there in his Pajamas. I guess the Today show is one place anyone can wear their pajamas, since it is a morning time show, but I bet if Ceelo was on a Late Night Talk Show, he still would have worn his pajamas. 

I would love to see Ceelo’s closet (I’m pretty sure I can if I search the MTV Cribs archives). I want to see if he has anything other than pajamas. If Ceelo was showing us his closet it would probably go something like this “Hey y’all, what’s up? I’m Ceelo Green. Here is my extravagant collection of pajamas. This section is my sleeping pajamas, here are my going out pajamas, these are my work pajamas, these are my recording studio pajamas, and these are my work out pajamas.” That is all he would have, Pajamas. I guess he would also have a sweet collection of slippers (You can’t wear your Jordan’s with your pajamas!).

So, basically all I want to do is be able to hang around in my pajamas all day. My pajamas are my boxers, so I guess that will never be acceptable in society. I would be satisfied with making it Sweatpants Sunday everyday, as long as it is the wintertime.
