Before I watched the movie Paranormal Activity I have been hearing hyperbolic praise on how amazingly terrifying the movie was. I heard advertisements going "scariest movie of 2009" or "THE WHOLE AUDIENCE WAS PSYCHOLOGICALLY TERRIFIED" and I must admit, it kind of made me eager to watch the movie.
The story of the movie is about this couple who decides to record the "Paranormal Activity" that was happening to them. Everything in the movie is taken place within the house of the main characters. Then again the home cameras are home cameras for a reason. Although, this makes it feel more realistic, it sort of get's boring after seeing the same things over and over again.
The most important aspect is, was "Paranormal Activity" scary? I would say yes and no. I think the director did a brilliant job of making each night worse and worse. However, I did not find anything scary enough that left me "PSYCHOLOGICALLY TERRIFIED". Some parts I do admit, was sort of creepy, but overall I think the movie was a cake walk in recent horror films. I still personally think "1408" was a better psychological horror. I think the trailer of the movie actually shows most of the scary parts minus one of the coolest scenes in the movie. The trailer actually has the final scary part of the movie included :O
Does the low budget detract from the horror? I'd also say yes and no. Some parts were very obviously fake like the whole air bubble part and such, however, some parts the low budget made it look a lot more terrifying like the coolest part of the movie which I will absolutely not spoil.
The acting was believable which was quintessential for the movie to be "realistic". Some jokes here and there sort of distracted the whole seriousness of the movie. To tell you the truth, I think this movie can pass as a comedy/thriller. I think people were laughing more than they were screaming in fear.
All in all, I think this movie seriously does not live up to the extreme hyperbolic claims that you keep hearing about everywhere. Now that I look at all the trailers and hype, it feels like it was just a massive marketing ploy to see how much money you can get with spending the least amount of money on a movie. A budget movie like this should stay in the thriller section of your nearest Mom and Pop video rental store. "Paranormal Activity" gets 2.6/5 (Average)

Yet another GEM-NET filled GEM?
LOLOL! Every day we have a combined GEM I am compelled to write a blog about it. Oh well, my day today was pretty okay today. I could have made it better myself but I just didn't.
UOG
9:15AM I got a call from Cheerful which pretty much woke me up. She was asking where I was and I think if the study group went down. Anyways after this I took a shower and quickly got ready since my sister was already almost late going to her class. We got there luckily on time actually. I thought she as gonna be at least 5 mins late but I was unfortunately wrong. Later, I decided to set up camp right in the lobby of the science building while waiting for Cheerful and Joe for the study group. As I was waiting I remember a pretty cute girl asking me some questions about the practical but I forgot most of the detail that went down. Afterward, I busted out the laptop and got my textbook from the car. I was trying to forget about the practical actually by using the internet but the internet today was malafunksion so I decided to study. Later, Cheerful came at around 10:45AMish I think and we started the studying!
She then started to search my laptop for some "stuff" at around 11AMish and that's when Joe came. We then headed toward the library to study there for the practical. When we got there, I met someone new. I forgot her name, I think it was Luna or something like that. We then studied together and later on Luna left. I then decided at around 12PMISh to borrow Joe's phone to call Paul. I called him and begged him to go to our GEM later but to no avail. I then went back to the study group and Cheerful and Joe had to go ;__; I cried a little. They had to go cause Cheerful wanted to change her pants which looked perfectly awesome. The time now was about 12:30PMish. I then studied a little by myself and got pretty distracted by the internet. Later on I got pretty hungry.
So I headed toward the cafeteria. I took the long way around since I didn't like walking through the rotunda some times. When I got there I first went to Stomping Grounds for something "fun" to drink since I was pretty down. I settled for "Chai Tea", I got it in hot. It tasted really good, tasted like fall season (nutmeg/cinnamon/etc) there was whip cream on it too. Anyways, after I got that I headed to Isla for my sad two choice meal. It's sad because it's just uninspiring and I will have to eat it by myself, again. To make it less sad I ordered a side of fries to go with it. I had my two choice [some bbq chicken?/honey walnut shrimp/fried krab (notice the K in krab)/two scopes of rice] to go. I waited about 10 mins for the fries. As I was waiting for the fries I said yo dawg to Jayton Okada. I saw a pretty cute girl by herself and thought about eating with her but then I decided that it was a creepy thing to do so I decided to eat outside so I wouldn't feel as sad as I would eating a lone in the inside of the cafeteria with no one around. I had to take two trips to the table out side since I couldn't carry all my food and book and bag with me. No one stole it for some reason. When I got to the table out side my fork and napkin was on the floor cause the wind scattered them. I picked them up, brushed them off, then used them. Oh yeah, right now will be around 1PMish. I ate some of my fries first and then started on my two choice. As I was eating there was caterpillars on the table and I found a small one on my pants after, so I guess I wasn't truly alone. I had the lap top on with some Anthony Green playing so it was a pretty rad meal actually, even when I was by myself. I then finished my tea and headed to the practical. When I got there I thought I was gonna be late. Notice now was 130PMish and that's the time of my practical but we didn't start will about 140PMish since it was just that long.
It was a pretty normal lab practical. Cheerful like called me FOUR times during the practical!!! I thought I was gonna get an instant fail after the third time but thank goodness the professor was cool and turned a blind eye about it. I ate some more M&Ms then usually since it was a seventy five question long marathon of a test. Then again it was a midterm practical. Afterward, I caught up with Cheerful and Joe. I gave them a good heads up about the practical and some questions they might find. I then headed home. Time now I think it was around 3:40PMish???
When I got home I played the guitar for a bit and was asked to go on Facebook by Cheerful. I then got on and helped them out a bit further. I then took a good two hour nap. When I woke up it was already time to get ready for the GEM and Arvin was there. Time now 6:40PMish. When I was done getting ready for the GEM I played the guitar for a little bit and then we left at around 7:10PMish. We got to Harmon at around 7:25PMish.
GEM-NET
Now things got a little bit busy. Brother Gary got me and Jerome on camera duty and got some b-roll around the place and inside the church a little too. We got some more b-roll of cars cumming in and people cumming too. We then met up with Almie and everyone to do the first interview. It was with sister Rome I believe her name was. We did it in the hall of Harmon downstairs. It went pretty well in my opinion. Later on we went outside looking for more people to interview. We then set up camp in that place near the stage. We set up for future interviews and this one sister which I don't know her name but she was quite attractive but I think she was married, started to look over my work (script). Geonard was there too so that was awesome LOL! We then got the interview place ready with lights and everything. Then the interviews started again. Our first interview was with senator Agoun! Friendly/intelligent sort of guy. His interview went pretty gravy. We then interviewed one of Jam's guests. His name was Kevin I believe and he did pretty well. We tried to get more of Jam's guests to be interviewed but they ran away.
GEM
After this me and Arvin decided to walk around and get some "contacts" lOLOL! Not realy. But I seriously wanted some food though. I met up with Ceejay and DJ lOL! It was pretty cool seeing everyone again. Later on we met up with Carlo too! He had the book so we went around and found his grandfather for the keys to the car so we can get the "book". We then found him and got some fruits and the "book" the "book" was Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut! Awesome book! I read the first three chapters and it was amazing! Anyways I then walked around and showed off the book and people were like O_O!!!! SUGOIIII DESUU!!!! REALLY!
LOLOL! Afterward, I met up with the Apra Heights crew and were doing some thumb wrestling. Gosh my thumbs are really wet noodles. They ALL beat me! Even AMBER ;__;! LAMMMMEEE!!! Anyways then I decided to jam the Guitar with Carlo, CeeJay, and Denzel! We jammed like awesome hippies and all of the sudden there was a bunch of lights and then a lot of people. Were there and an ambulance. I thought some one got murdered. There was a great big scene. I'm sure it was urgent but I don't think all those people should have crowded in a situation like that, puts more pressure on the people it directly affected. I was trying to divert some people with my complex guitar playing sKILLZ and fast/loud speak but it didn't really work. Anyways what seemed to have happened was brother Jelson's wife passed out and wouldn't wake up (hopefully she is okay now). Note the time now was around 10PMish. I actually got to meet sorta a new girl sorta. Her name was Brittney. I thought she was Maria or Jesselyn but I was wrong. Oh well, then we jammed the guitar a little more and more people had to leave. We all said our good byes and went separate ways. I played the guitar a little more and sang pretty loud. Glad no one hurd me. Or did they??? We then went home and I ate some ham sandwiches and here I am. It took me 42minutes to get this far. I know cause I started at 11PM and now it is 11:42PM. Well later until next time.

Criticisms of Stanley's view of Guam's Anarco-Communist dream society.
In this blog I will be copy pasting my friend's blog and I shall critic what I think is wrong and what I agree with. Maybe even simplify some other parts.
"Anarchist communism is a far-left movement which advocates the abolition of the state, private property, and capitalism in favor of common ownership of the means of production, direct or consensus democracy and a horizontal network of voluntary associations, workers' councils, or a gift economy through which everyone will be free to satisfy their needs.
Let me reword this whole definition into something more digestible. Anarcho-Communism is an egalitarian society which rids the population of any form of social classes. Government, private property, and capitalism exists no more. The economy will be run by a "gift economy" where members of society are free to contribute to and partake from based on each person's individual needs.
The people of Guam will all agree on this ideology and work together in order to maintain their society. One of the major changes will be the movement from America's ideas of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, to true freedom cannot exist for all, unless the rights of all are respected by all. One of the first changes would be the division of Guam into smaller communities. Anarchy cannot work in large populations where organization and order would be difficult. Each community will be in charge of fending for itself and its people. Alliances would be drawn out from each community agreeing on certain aspects such as aiding each other and responsibility for their respected areas. Each community must also agree that it must focus on maintaining itself, so that it will be able to receive help from others while not one community simply rely on being fed.
Liberty and true freedom is extremely stressed in an anarcho-communist community. With the ability to be able to do what ever job you actually want to do without worrying about how much money you will need to pay the rent is an example of true freedom. People will also be more happier without any money stresses more people will be able to live life more in ease. As for division into smaller communities I would some what agree to a point. I don't think the communities will be fending for their selves but I believe the closest thing to a community there will be on Guam is that all the farmers will be in their area and all the tailors/construction workers/ factory workers will be in another area. Not because they have disagreements or anything but for production efficiency. Alliances just simply cannot exist for alliances will require some form of hierarchy or division of members.
The communities would be divided into the villages of Guam. Where the communities allow free movement from each village. There would need to be representatives in each village to gather and meet to represent their people, a sort of village ambassador. They would meet and organize their community in which would serve Guam best as a whole. They would set up the communities to work in which not one community relies on another to survive. This society would need the essential workers, which are farmers, fishermen, doctors, teachers. Some would say that artists are required, in order to maintain culture and entertainment.
I was thinking about the villages on Guam and their differences actually. I believe the villages will still have their own unique names and such but I don't think they will be divided. I already went over how things are going to be broken down according to jobs. Yes free passage is a must. If they regulate passage then that's a form of government. I seriously oppose the whole idea of ambassadors and representatives in each village for each are a form of hierarchy. There will be community stores like a farmers market where you can get all your grocery needs and be able to give back to the market's workers. Yes the island would of course have all of the essential workers. Remember everyone is now free to do what they want to.
Although everyone is free to work or not, it would be best to develop the mindset of the people that working for the benefit of society is an essential part of life. This could be done through education, people will learn that in order for them to survive, everyone must do their part. The anarcho-communist Guam will be different from what it looks like today. Guam would be divided up into villages which will try and organize themselves for the benefit of the community. There would be farmers, fishermen, doctors, teachers, and artisans in each village in order to maintain their society.
:/ pretty much except the village division
THE ANARCHO-COMMUNIST GUAM
The United States allowed Guam to change its ideology to Anarcho-Communism. In order to not create a bad influence on the people, the United States decides to move its military somewhere else, leaving the people of Guam their right to practice thier ideology.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! Good idea to the whole movement of the military. I never thought of that :D! I was thinking in forms of violent revolutions and such. A+!
Guam would abolish state, private property, and capitalism. Guam would be limited in contact with other Nations because of thier new "goverment." The abolishment of currency would rid of all imported goods to Guam. Few nations will accept trade with Guam considering its few resources. With limited resources, population will rapidly decrease. Most likely, people will move to other places once they hear that Guam will be an anarcho-communist society. People will realize that Guam do not have the sufficient resources in order to maintain the current population and will move before anarchy truly does turn to chaos.
I don't think nations would accept trade with Guam actually, for nations requires customs forms and such which we won't have because of 0% capitalism or a free market too. As for population decrease I now agree with population decrease. But the extent is still a giant guess for us. I think it would still decrease around the first 5-7 years just cause if everything today was to switch, yeah food supplies will be gone quickly and we will have to get the hang of having more farmers/fishermen/tailors/etc. I'd say after the first 5-7 there at the worst case scenario will be a 1-2/3 population decrease. I'm sure after the make or break 10 years population will slowly again increase slowly but surely. After the thirty years. We will probably be back to almost the same population. People must have accepted the facts that they are going to die. So no people will move. Unless there really was like a months notice before the change of population. If that was the case then a good chunk of population will be gone and less people will be dying from starvation.
Villages will establish themselves once everything settles. Farms and fishermen will most likely be the main source of food for every village. Schools and hospitals will also be established in each village. Education in the new society would mostly focus on maintaining the current ideology and create members of society that be benificial for the anarcho-communist society. Health care would be extremely limited because the study of modern medicine would be limited due to the focus of maintaining society at its current level. There would not be enough resources or people to conduct research.
Pretty much. Schools will still exist. But how they run will be different. Like kids do not have to go to class and such. The idea behind this is that kids who actually want to study will get to study without trouble makers being in class disrupting and such. As for health care, it would be a very community thing imo. I'm sure there are going to be very smart people left on Guam who know natural remedies and such.
People would work and contribute to their village. And in return they are able to obtain thier needs that the village provides. And this would be allowed to work in between villages themselves. The emphasis would be that not one village would rely on others but they would understand that there is no such thing as true independence, that they realize that everyone is linked together in their society.
Well I agree with most of that but I still think independence is still extremely stressed in this ideology. Being able to give gifts and to receive them is ultimate independence for me imo."
