The biggest problem the world has is greed, and it's due to greed that we all don't get on. If someone has something that someone else wants it leads to jealousy and most of the time leads to theft or burgulry and people been left very upset. And the fact that thieves (believe it or not) don't have a heart, they just take. They try to justify it by saying "I'm homeless" "I've got no food" "I have got children" "I'm in serious debt" or possibly worst of all they have an addiction to drugs or alchohol.To steal for that reason is still classed as being greed as it's not actually essensial. I'm sure some may have a heart and be considerate may actually be true but to steal in the first place is a bad thing in its self.

Life is tough, I know, like I've mentioned before, reiki, meditation, humourous stuff like comedies, lots of feel good stuff.  find an alternative way of coping. find friends , good ones ones who will be patient Get out there find help there's plenty of help out there for them, they've just got to find it ,start looking for assistance on finding a home, organising benefits. What they don't think of is the item(s) that have been taken may have come from a relative that passed on and the item(s) may be the only thing(s) that they have left.

It's not just people, companies are just at fault, instead of charging a minimal ammount they charge over the odds for things such as water, gas, electric, insurance, food etc. Materialistic things such as CDs and DVDs and electrical items which are made cheaply are made extremely expensive to the consumer. And when people can't pay they get into debt, then warnings come through, then threats with court cost, then threats with bailiffs, people get upset because they are trying to  pay other companies like gas electric water insurance (personal, home, contents, car, pet) and this leads to stress, depression and anxiety which leads to people taking it out on the nearest person/people they can find which leads to people commiting crime. Fact is due to greed it lead people into this sort of thing and the amazing thing is companies don't care, they act like they do because they've been trained to deal with customers this way. when they go home they're like "no longer my problem"
The other problem that we have is obesity. to be fair there are conditions, like prader willi syndrmo in which the person eats a lot  but never feels full, and there is comfort eating ( which can be considered as another form of self harm) but that can be cause by the above and family issues may be caused by the above or personal issuses.This could be also generic or learned. but what gets up my nose is when people say the just love food. these people are eating for about 3 people especially in times like this when people are struggleing to feed themselves. food companies are just as bad as they are giving us smaller food products for a higher price. it's the same with heinz soup anyone remember when it was 49p now it's about £1.00

A very good tutor taurt me about something that was only to be considered in my stories, but it ended up playing a big part in my life. It's called Action and Reaction similar to For every action there's a Consequence.Think about this; "how can I encourage people not to be greedy?" If you don't have what someone else has got; save up for it, wait for it to drop in price, who knows, maybe when you get great friends they may offer you the things (that they don't either use or want any longer) you've been looking for (be clean! ha ha!) for a nice reasonable price without worrying whether its stolen or not .

Simply try not to be greedy; and encourage those around you not to be either and the world will go around alot more smoother...

New Developement Needed!

About modern games I would love for the developers to realize that we are not all geniuses and that we don't have the brain of about 10 people. What I'm getting at is; there I am enjoying a good game, then all of a sudden I come across a puzzle, that is quite illogical (that's how it seems) and this stops me from continuing an enjoyable game. I try many times but fail miserably, I then give up and try again later...still same thing happens. I'm really stuck. or It's a timed event (not Quick Time Events as they're actually fun) "yes, let's give the players a few seconds to get to the next check point not realising that things get in the way; walls, water, 'stupid idiotic people' characters on skateboards who get stuck in corners and keep rebounding, enemies that seem invincible even in war games (enemies should be smart not invincible).

What's that? If you are stuck call our hotline, check our website send us a text? I thought games were supposed be like playing a film, the full movie experience. You know what? when you hire or buy a film, if you don't understand where its going, or you don't understand it, just give the company a call, they may give you a clue, a hint and welcome you to follow them and they'll send you promotions, compotitions and maybe some free gifts.

The interactive movies on Segas Mega CD were much better exercuted, me and my brother spent nights trying to work out where the Oges were coming in from in Night Trap (you had to trap enough of them to continue) and you had to protect the women from them spy on the residents to find the access code (and cleverly this kept changing everytime you played)

I was enjoying Strangle hold (18 cert blood, very violence, drugs and language) the story was there the action the distruction things that smashed and fell enermies that were defeated were left on the ground which was great but the I cam across with the part with the helicopter the there were bad guys with laser cannons first there was one then three then five while others were firing at the helicopter which you have to keep an eye on the life gauge. even the so called Tequila time is pretty much useless. A bit too much? I really think so! Good game just that part at the moment poorly executed part in my opinion.
The game Wet (18 cert lots of blood, drugs, strong violence and language) is sooooooo much better than Stanglehold ( it's like playing Kill Bill and thats why I wanted to play it great film) Graphics; are great the action and acrobatics is fantastic music; brilliant stylizing: beautiful especilly when she gets blood in her eyes and the screen sort of go a blacky red whiteish cel shaded (in a cool way) and all in all lots going on in an again cool way. All in all, a well designed game. Just rememeber as with most violent games folks its just a game. Parents, these games are not to be played by children!

Now it's more about action where is the story and thought? It's rush, rush "let's give the gamer what they want now!" and as a result games that come out are shodily done eg may look nice, but lacks story or playability or replayability. remember Shenmue 1+2? Deliberately slow, but the story interactivity with charaters is fantastic environments and music beautiful action (when needed) great, QTEs done very differently, cause havoc by missing certain buttons and the other characters will tell you about it later. Each time you played it was different, the weather changed, there were different people everytime you went into the street, different reactions depending on what they were doing, eg before work-after work, after the pub etc.
I know above seems like small reviews but it the best way I can explain what I'm on about. with Golden Eye you could play it numourous number of times under different conditions to unlock fun things, replayability!
Where did played to death go where people played the games over and over again until the disk broke. now it's play complete get rid of. All hard work of developers for more or less for nothing.

Singers Don't Be Shy...

I know this is a little harsh but why do people stop others from singing? I mean it's not really fair is it? Even if they are the worst in the world, we could do with the rain to fill up the reservoir... but joking aside...  that's another thing, we really rip into some people, telling them to shut up, howling, saying that an animal's being stangled, saying "oh you're the one making it rain are you?" we really shouldn't, they should be allowed to express themselves. Please consider the neighbours and watch the time, some neighbours are quite lenient, just check first though. Singing may be the only way that they can do it. Singing lets people let of steam, lets them feel good about themselves, it lets them get lost in their own little world. It shows that we are in a good mood or we are trying to get in a good mood.It also says "look at me, I want to be noticed, I'm sick of people pretending I'm not here" or "I'll show them, I'll show them all what I can do...", People sometimes dream this also. People like escapism.

Happiness is extremely important to all of us.  Don't go on things like the X Factor, Plop Idol, Brittons Got Talent, American Idol etc as millions of people want to see those who think they are great when they are either bad or cringebly the worst thing ever, fail miserably. These people will have to live with that for the rest of there lives. Saying that those people who can sing (should expect Critisism anyway) are critisised mockingly due to hatred or jealousy.

All I'm saying is; enjoy those that can sing and support those that can't because if we keep trying, those that couldn't sing may one day have the ability to blow us all away with the most powerfullist voice imaginably. Whether you can sing or not, do things like sing with friends or kareoke or Band hero or Guitar hero. These things may not improve your voice, but it will improve your confidence and allow you to feel less stressed. One thing to learn is; don't give a crap about what anyone says, in anything, just get on with what you enjoy; art, music,life,sport,graphics as long as your not hurting yourself or anyone else just enjoy.
