ZOMG! Pirates!

Ok, so im sure most of you have heard of the captain being held by pirates, and like most everyone you have heard of the daring rescue of this captain who is getting referred to all over the place as a hero. You have also I am sure heard that the pirates have vowed revenge against the U.S., and Obama pledging to fight piracy! So, I am thinking this; Why should we?

I mean, why do we got to pledge to fight against piracy. Why not just get together a bunch of ninjas, and send em over to take out the pirates? I mean, seriously…We all know ninjas are way cooler than pirates. If it had been ninjas that was holding the captain hostage, the outcome would have been sooooo different..Unless they were zombie or ghost pirates..but that would be just silly!

On another note, I think lately people throw the term “Hero” around way too often these days. It seems like everytime I turn around, there’s the new flavor of the day. Whats worse is you can become a “Hero” for pretty much anything, and if it’s lacking that “Pazazz” to make people want to jump up and cheer, don’t worry! The media will hype pretty much everything up to make you you look like the best thing to come around since jesus! Well, that is unless they need a villian then you will be made to look like the anti-christ.

Not to be mean….

Ok, first I want to CLEARLY state that I don’t intend for this post to come across as mean. Meaness was DEFINATELY not my intention. Shaide does not do mean. I am a nice loveable yet whacky kinda guy. Not a mean jerkwad. This post is because I am actually unsure of something….That being said, on to the actual question/comment/point of the blogpost.

MMORPGs are all the rage these days, I think every company either has one running, had one running or currently has one in the works. If you don’t know what an MMORPG is, then you probably aren’t into online gaming..but essentially its online role playing games..Like Everquest, World of Warcraft or Ultima Online. Hundreds of players play along side you or against you in these types of games.

A common thing on MMORPGs is “RL Photos” people really get curious who they are playing against..They want to know the face behind that lvl 70 Undead Warlock who keeps “Pwning” them while they quest. Im not exactly sure why, but thats what happens.

A free online RPG called Tales of Pirates is no different. On their website they have a section devoted to RL photos of their playerbase…and I browsed through a couple while I was sitting here at my desk being bored out of my skull. One picture caught my eye, and this is where some of you might think I am being mean…But I am NOT! Ok, enough trying to explain myself…My question is this..Is this person a male or female?? I feel a little stupid and embarassed, but I just don’t know the answer! I THINK the person might be female?
