Team Battles

Hi guys.  For fun, I thought I'd list all the teams I make in video games.
Super Smash Bros. Melee-Bowser (Me), Mario, Zelda.
Godzilla; Destroy All Monsters Melee-Godzilla 90s (Me), Godzilla 2000, Destoroyah.
Soul Calibur II-Link, Ivy, Taki.  Link, Sophitia, Cassandra.  Taki, Sophitia, Cassandra.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!-Bowser and Mario, Bowser and Daisy, Mario and Daisy.
Mario Superstar Baseball-Bowser, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Baby Mario, Magikoopa, Shy Guy, Goomba.
Godzilla Unleashed-Godzilla 2000 (me), Godzilla 1990s, Kiryu.  Kiryu (Me), MechaGodzilla, MechaGodzilla II.  To be used once unlocked; Godzilla 2000, Godzilla 1990s, Godzilla 1954.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl-Bowser (Me), Mario, Zelda.  Zero Suit Samus (Me), Zelda, Peach.
King of Fighters, the Orochi Saga-Mai Shiranui, Yuri Sakazaki, King.  Mai, Yuri, Kasumi (not the Kasumi from DOA).  Mai, Yuri, Athena (cleared KOF 98 with this team).
Mario Super Sluggers-Bowser, Mario, Peach, Daisy, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Miley Mii, Demi Lovato Mii, Brandi Cyrus Mii.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom-Chun-Li and Morrigan, Chun-Li and Jun the Swan.
Naruto Shippuden; Clash of Ninja Revolution 3-Sakura and Hinata.  Tsunade is often inserted as well.  Yugao and Komachi will likely enter as their own team.
Also, when I played Marvel vs. Capcom 2 at a friend's house, I used Jill Valentine, Iron Man and Psylocke often.

Now, I'd like to get something off my chest.  I am ludicrously paranoid about the default scenario.  I have nightmarish thoughts of things costing 100 times what they do now and China invading America, raping and pillaging for money that we withheld.  Also, I've heard Obama plans to kick Israel out of Palestine.  This is unacceptable, I don't care how you'll look to the Middle East nations, to forsake a relationship for this, to deny a Religious people their Promised Land is the essence of folly.  There must be a way to appease the Muslims living in Palestine without eliminating the world's only Jewish nation.  If Congress members read my blog, I urge compromise and a plan to resolve the default scenario, and a negotiation with leaders of Palestine and Israel.

The Crowners (my made-up supergroup) goals and hopes to do if/when it becomes reality


Pop Christianity:
A documentary that interviews Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Brandi Cyrus and Codi Carraco about their Faith and the role it plays in their lives.  It also includes interviews with Jenny and Ryan Simmons and the other members of Addison Road, as well as Billy Ray Cyrus and AnnaSophia Robb if possible.  The following questions are the ones that will be asked.
1.)    When did you decide to become a Christian?
2.)    How much a role does Faith play in your life and career?
3.)    (For Miley) Does “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” Play a role in your “Radiate Love” philosophy?
4.)    Was there a time when it seemed like doubts piled up and you couldn’t get out?  What did you do about it/how did you get out?
5.)    (For Miley) Is it hard when the right wing radicals who claim to represent God are calling you evil?  What do you do?
6.)    Does your Church Background play a role in your interest in music?
7.)    Are there any career decisions you’ve had to pray on?
8.)    (For AnnaSophia and Miley) Are there movie roles you chose to take because of your Faith?  Are there roles you chose to avoid for the same reason?
9.)    What’s your favorite Gospel/Contemporary Christian song?
10.) What do you do for Lent?  Do you keep the ashes on your forehead or scrub them off?
11.) Do either you or your denomination recognize Santa Lucia day?  Do you know the song?
  It ends with a big concert featuring the supergroup, The Crowners, consisting of Miley Cyrus on guitars and vocals, Demi Lovato on guitars and vocals, Brandi Cyrus on guitars and vocals, Jon Wasleske on bass guitar and Codi Carraco on keyboards and vocals, with a currently-unknown drummer.  Addison Road may also perform if they so desire.  The setlist for The Crowners is as such:
1.)    I Love Rock and Roll (Miley on lead vocals)
2.)    Praise You in this Storm (Miley and Demi on lead vocals)
3.)    U Got Nothin On Me (Demi on lead vocals)
4.)    While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Miley on lead vocals)
5.)    I Want You (She’s So Heavy) (Miley on lead vocals)
6.)    Jesus Freak (Miley and Demi on lead vocals)
7.)    Party (Demi on lead vocals)
8.)    Can’t Be Tamed (Miley on lead vocals)
9.)    Back and Forth (Codi on lead vocals)
10.) When I Look At You (Miley on lead vocals)
11.) The Climb (Miley on lead vocals)
They may also perform any song they wish, such as “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Rock and Roll,” “Free Bird,” “La La Land,” and any song ever written that they’ve every liked since the beginning of time.  Addison Road songs to consider are “Won’t Let Me Go” and “Don’t Wait.”
50 year rooftop anniversary:
Filmed entirely in January 2019, this would be a Fly On The Wall type of documentary in which The Crowners, or at least Miley and Demi, would rehearse, practice and ultimately perform several Beatles songs for the fiftieth anniversary of the famous rooftop concert.  It would be performed on the roof of a building between three to seven stories in length, and the recordings from the top would ultimately be sold as a new Crowners album, which would have the following tracklist:
1.)    Get Back
2.)    Don’t Let Me Down
3.)    Dig a Pony
4.)    I’ve Got a Feeling
5.)    One After 909
6.)    I Me Mine
7.)    I Want You (She’s So Heavy)
8.)    Don’t Let Me Down
9.)    Get Back
All songs would be lead-sung by me, Daniel J. Short.
Mario trilogy:
The Crowners would contribute an instrumental track for the fight scene between a giant Bowser, a giant Peach and the Axem Robo Megazord.  They would also do the backing for Selena Gomez’s cover of “We Need A Hero” for the battle between the heroes and the Axem Rangers.  We Need A Hero is a song from the original Power Rangers series.  In the second film, they’d contribute the ending songs, a re-recording of “Bigger Than Us” and a slow ballad afterwards, possibly a release of Billy Ray Cyrus’ cover of “You’ve Got a Friend” instead of a new song.  In the third movie, a song like “I Learned From You” would be played during the Mario revival scene, the original duet version may be used instead, I don’t know.

Super Smash Bros. 4!

I found out today Super Smash Bros. 4 (tentative title) is going to be released to the Wii U, Nintendo's new console, as well as the 3DS, Nintendo's new handheld.  Ignoring the fact that it sounds like a college for Nintendo students, I'm going to get to the nitty-gritty, what do I want to see.  Something that interests me in fighting games like the Naruto series and the VS Capcom series is the tag-team aspect, where in the middle of a team battle, you can switch out characters.  I am not sure how this would fit in the Smash Bros. gameplay, it's just an interesting idea, I just purchased two Wii games from the aforementioned serieses, Naruto Shippuden Clash of Ninja 3 and Tatsunoko VS Capcom.  The next thing I'd like are the following characters, Jill Valentine (from Resident Evil), and Daisy, Paper Mario, Paper Peach, Paper Luigi/Mr. L and Paper Bowser (from the Mario series).  Not sure if either of these things are present, but Sakurai has proven to be a game programming genius and he is in charge again.  I really hope the Wii U lets you transfer all your data from the Wii, I'd hate to plug in and unplug the machines over and over just to play them with all the save data, that plus the game coming to the 3DS may make me not buy the Wii U (though New Super Mario Bros. Mii does look fun).  Anyway, this is good news for all Nintendo fans and this game should be lots of fun.  For those who know me personally, I will not change the plot of my 3rd Mario movie to fit this new game, but I might/probably will bring the characters from SSB4 in.  I have written out three Mario movies I'd love to make with Nintendo and the Cyrus family, listed below.
-Super Mario: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Movie (based off Super Mario RPG, released for the SNES, 1995-1996, also available from Virtual Console).
-Super Paper Mario, the Movie (based off Super Paper Mario, released for the Wii, 2007).
-Super Smash Bros.; the Movie (based off Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary Mode, with all characters from Brawl and Melee in the plot, released for the Wii, 2008).
The idea is to have bigger and more evil villains that require teamups between Mario, Bowser and Peach, culminating in Tabuu, who made the two previous movie's villains (Smithy and Dimentio), as well as villains from the Kirby and Metroid serieses.  If Square-Enix is not interested in movie 1, a new plot featuring Fawful will be made.  Any suggestions for it would be cool, I've kind of had some writer's block.  That's all for Nintendo news.
On a sadder note, I've heard the new Yellow Submarine movie has been canceled.  Apparently, the silly-looking Mars Needs Moms' success was directly tied to Disney's funding of the project.  Since the film flopped, Disney pulled the plug.  So, I guess we won't see 3D models of John, Paul, George, Ringo and the Blue Meanies.  Also, Godzilla's 2012 film appears to have been pushed back to 2014.  On a positive note, there is less than a month until Transformers; Dark of the Moon.  I'm excited to see the battles involving old favorites like Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream and newcomers the Wreckers, Shockwave and Sentinel Prime.  Michael Bay has directed quite a good series, and I look forward to seeing the conclusion unfold.

Wii 2 Thoughts

So, after some thought, I've decided I may or may not purchase the new system.  Basically, what I would need to see from the system to purchase it would be games that exceed the Wii's.  Here is a list of some of my dream games.
-A New Super Smash Bros., preferably with Jill Valentine playable (artwork (c) evilwaluigi.deviantart.com).
-A game with Tifa Lockheart from Final Fantasy VII.
-A game with my fan-shipping of Samus and Zelda (artwork (c) justmangas.deviantart.com).
-A new Mario RPG with Bowser as an ally.
-The ability to transfer save data from every single game played on the Wii and Gamecube to the new console.
-One of Square-Enix's new Tomb Raider games.
-A game with Mario, Bowser, Peach, Zelda, Samus and Jill playable (ideas above).
-Lynyrd Skynyrd Rock Band.
-Cyrus family+Demi Lovato Rock Band.
Now, if these aren't on the system, I'll still check it out via Nintendo Power and Wikipedia.  Heck, those guys convinced me I need a 3DS so I can play all the third-party (mostly Capcom with Street Fighter and Resident Evil) games coming to the system.  But for now, I must wait.

Wii 2 Blues

I am so depressed by this changing world that I endlessly become an Internet and video game junkie in order to create some sort of order and distract myself.  I want control so badly, to do what’s right for God.  I feel like I’ve lost potential, just seeing things happen and there isn’t a darn thing I can do about them.  I want to play my Wii games forever, not lose them to time as they helped me mature mentally and develop Jungian characters within my mind; 
the hero (Mario), 
the greedy comical oaf (Bowser), 
the princess (Peach), 
the wise shy one and her lesbian huntress bodyguard-lover (Zelda and Samus, artwork (c) justmangas.deviantart.com), 
the wounded police officer who needs kind friends (Jill Valentine, artwork (c) jaja316.deviantart.com), 
the adventurous Indiana Jones-type (Lara Croft), 
the shy yet loyal younger brother (Luigi), 
his boisterous, fun-loving girlfriend (Daisy), 
the quiet observer who loves deeply (Rosalina), 
the vengeance-driven officer of justice (Chun-Li, artwork (c) takilmar.deviantart.com),
The excitable women fighters (Mai Shiranui and Yuri Sakazaki),
and the menacing, heartless evil villains that seek to hurt them (Smithy, Dimentio, Wesker, Phazon, Ridley, Ganondorf, Tabuu).  Yet my mind also says “They may make a game where these all ARE together, so you better buy that next gaming system.”  My brother just plays the games and doesn’t see these things, oftentimes, I wish I were him, so I’d be free from all the things that trouble me.

Other Possible 3rd-Party Characters

Some other 3rd-Party characters I've considered (and wouldn't say no to being included) in my Brawl movie are listed below.
Capcom: Chun-Li (from Street Fighter), Morrigan, Felicia (from Darkstalkers).
SNK: Mai Shiranui, Yuri Sakazaki, Kasumi, King, Blue Mary (from King of Fighters).
The thing that keeps them from me putting them on a high priority is that Capcom may only want one character present in the movie, I can't choose between Chun-Li and Mai, and Jill, Lara and Tifa are more important to me as third-party characters.

Character bios 3

Here are some more bios for characters in the Mario films.  Not sure if I'll post them all.


Luigi:
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 115 pounds
Special abilities: Fireballs from hands, green missile attack, fairly athletic
Weaknesses: Timid
Desires: To hang out with his bro, Mario, and marry Daisy.
Luigi is Mario’s younger twin brother, adventurous yet cautious.  Luigi usually has more anxiety about situations than his older sibling, and tends to hold back on adventures somewhat.  However, if the chips are down and Mario or Daisy are threatened, Luigi summons his courage and charges into action.  Luigi is very close to his brother, while Mario may choose to adventure on his own, Luigi will always want to partner with his brother on an adventure.  Luigi can also jump higher than his brother, helping them on adventures.

Daisy:
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 129 pounds
Special abilities: can play every sport ever made well, very athletic, highly spunky
Weaknesses: fairly naïve.
Desires: To be the best sportmeister, to hang out with Luigi, toughen him up and marry him.
The ruler of Sarasaland, Princess Daisy is Princess Peach’s cousin.  While her cousin focuses more on ruling and spending time with friends, Daisy is a competitive athletic tomboy.  However, she is still very close to Peach, and is the surrogate mother to Baby Peach and Baby Daisy, whom she adores and can be quite maternal to.  Daisy loves to play sports and hang out with Peach, Samus, Zelda and Jill.  Daisy is boisterous and fun-loving; her only weakness is that she is somewhat trusting.  If used against her, prepare for a beating, Daisy doesn’t take kindly to being fooled.

Link:
Height: 6’
Weight: 145 pounds
Special abilities: Skilled with a sword, boomerang, bombs, arrows and other weapons
Weaknesses: None
Desires: To defeat evil and continue the bloodline of Links.
The current generation’s representative of the line of the heroes of courage, Link is cold and fairly distant.  A no-nonsense hero, Link fights for the Triforce and seeks to end Ganondorf’s life eventually (or at least banish him to the Dark Realm again).  Mario and Zelda have some degree of friendship with Link, but they mostly seek to warm his heart.  Link cares only about the mission, however, and is immune.  He is also pretty much the only follower of the ancient Hylian religion, almost everyone else has converted to Christianity.  Link is the kind of person you’d want to be, not tied down and powerful.

Snake:
Height: 6’
Weight: 145 pounds
Special abilities: skilled with firearms and martial arms.
Weaknesses: None
Desires: crush the enemies.
The ultimate commando, Snake is a product of science, a perfect clone of Snake Eater.  He tends to do as he pleases and has a degree of impulsivity.  Snake uses firearms and bombs to get the job done, and likes to pummel his opponents.  He has no tolerance for his enemies’ existence and uses his weapons to eliminate them with extreme prejudice.  Snake also enjoys testing his strength against other warriors and has a perverted side to him, as well.

Sonic:
Height: 5’
Weight: 100 pounds
Special Abilities: Running speeds in excess of mach 1
Weaknesses: can be cocky.
Desires: defeat the enemies for justice.
A cocky teenaged embodiment of the wind, Sonic the Hedgehog doesn’t like being tied down.  Sonic likes to do what he wants when he wants and speeds through fields to trounce opponents.  He likes to pull pranks and fight for justice, protecting his friends from the evil schemes of Dr. Eggman.  Sonic and Mario have a mutual respect for each other, and enjoy fighting side-by-side.  Sonic is very proud of his speed and uses it to his advantage at every possibility.

Tifa:
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 137 pounds
Special abilities: skilled with martial arts, can adapt well
Weaknesses: None known
Desires: Win the Fight for justice and have wedded bliss with Cloud Strife.
Tifa is a kind soul who has friendships with the many patrons of her bar, which is located in Rose Town.  Tifa’s best friends are Peach, Aerith and Yuffie, whom she always treats well.  She also possesses a stone of the powerful Morph Materia, capable of doing vast changes, a fire materia stone, as well as the Growth materia, which can make anything grow.  When peace is threatened, Tifa will use the Materia and her martial arts skills to fight evil, pummeling them with her fists and feet.

Lara Croft:
Height: 5’10”
Weight: varies
Special abilities: athletic ability, armed with pistols.
Weaknesses: will grab cursed artifacts, which will curse her
Desires: To collect all the artifacts
A British archaeologist, Lara Croft is much like Indiana Jones.  She hunts artifacts to bring them to her museum, sometimes, she will visit the Mushroom Kingdom to help Princess Peach.  She freed her friendly Doppelganger, who became her traveling sidekick on occasion.  Lara lives for the thrill of the chase, swimming and running through temples for fun.  The two have been ordered to care for holy artifacts and keep them from evil hands, and Lara fights bravely to ensure that the world will be as safe in the future as it is now.

Character bios 2

Here are some more character bios written about Nintendo (and Capcom), sorry if they don't fit your views of the characters.


Samus:
Height: 6’
Weight: 135 pounds, I’m guessing
Special Abilities: incredibly flexible, skilled acrobat, skilled with technology, martial arts training.
Weaknesses: Metroid DNA in cells causes bloating when exposed to energy, can be headstrong if Zelda is threatened.
Desires: See Zelda?  She’s hers.
Samus is one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy.  She can be cold, ruthless and efficient on the battlefield.  This is primarily due to her harsh past, in which her parents got killed, as did a Metroid that believed her to be its mother.  She changed, though, when she met Zelda.  Zelda’s simplicity and kind nature unlocked Samus’ heart, enabling her to become warm.  Both support each other and love each other deeply.  Samus often worries about if things are going to be okay, as many magical events have caused problems for her and Zelda.  These have always been reversible, however, and the two have always remained dedicated to each other.  Samus is also very defensive and usually quiet, usually speaking when prodded.

Zelda:
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 130 pounds (again, a guess)
Special abilities: Magical powers, Triforce of Wisdom, can turn into Sheik
Weaknesses: is fairly young, as such, makes mistakes
Desires: to be Samus’ wife
Zelda is the Princess of Hyrule, as such; she is the second-most powerful political figure in This World.  However, she prefers a quiet, simple life in her Castle, where she lives alone, at least until she let Samus move in.  Zelda’s magic powers make her a formidable force in battle, but her and Samus frequently spend lazy days together doing little.  Much like Samus, Zelda worries about the problems magic can force upon them, but her fears faded somewhat as she became more experienced with her own magic.  Of course, usually the source of the magic is the thing that trumps it, sometimes disappointing her with the lack of a quick fix.  However, since they are all reversible, Zelda and Samus have never despaired a change for long.  The two enjoy watching movies, traveling together and practice battles (in which they are partners), as well as adventures involving Zelda’s magic. 

Jill:
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 135 pounds
Special abilities: good with martial arts, proficient with guns and rocket launcher weapons.
Weaknesses: was emotionally crippled due to experiments on her by Wesker.
Desires: To kill the zombies and live life free of garbage.
Jill Valentine is a lethal militaristic weapon, a slayer of zombies.  Armed with guns, Jill has all the professionalism of a good police officer.  Though experiments by Wesker have wounded her and given her anxiety, she opened her heart when Peach, Samus and Zelda entered her life.  Now, Jill splits her time between a house in the Mushroom Kingdom and living with Samus and Zelda, where she functions as co-bodyguard with Samus.

Character bios 1

Here are bios I wrote about the characters in the Nintendo movies.  There will be similar bios for The Crowners characters.  First, some Mario characters.


Mario:
Height: 5’
Weight: 115 pounds
Special abilities: Skilled jumper, can shoot fireballs from hands, skilled acrobat.
Strengths: Fireballs and jumping proficiently.
Weaknesses: can be impulsive if Peach’s life is threatened.
Desires: to marry Princess Peach.
The hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario is a bold hero.  Unwilling to surrender for any reason, Mario gives all he has for any task.  He has a great sense of adventure and is very selfless, a true warrior of justice and truth.  While he has the moves of a classic action hero, he looks little like one, but that doesn’t bother him.  Mario fights bravely and heroically for Princess Peach, who always rewards him with a kiss and a cake.

Bowser:
Height: 7’1”
Weight: let’s just say really freaking heavy
Special abilities: Enormous strength, fire breath, whirling fortress attack, Bowser Bomb attack.
Strengths: Very powerful, reliant on physical strength, fire breath attack, capable of figuring out some things.
Weaknesses: very headstrong, prone to impulse, fairly vain.
Desires: to marry Princess Peach, or at least someone pretty…like Daisy or Rosalina.  Also, to best Mario in combat, just to say he can do it.
Bowser is the leader of the Koopa Troop, something he is very proud of.  He has an uncontrollable id, which fuels his massive desire for Princess Peach.  He is very pleased with his good looks and is also skilled at baseball and video games.  He always desires to be acknowledged as the toughest, willing to undergo many painful and humiliating trials just to prove it.  He does not like to get beaten, due to this; he has a severe grudge against Mario.  This fades, though, when a more serious threat that affects both of them, in these cases, Bowser will ally with Mario, assisting him against the foe.  Due to these events, the two’s rivalry has simmered some.  Bowser is a huge fan of metal-type music, think ZZ Top, Blue Oyster Cult, early Poison and The Beatles’ Helter Skelter.  He is skilled with fighting with a spiked flail; he is better at straight-forward brawling and also uses his fire breath and Bowser Bomb attack strategically in a fight.


Peach:
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 130 pounds, I guess
Special abilities: Can use dress to float, can use umbrella as a parachute, Peach Bomber attack, skilled with blunt instruments.
Strengths: Kind heart.
Weaknesses: Has a degree of naiveté.
Desires: To marry Mario.
The ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach is a kind soul.  A good friend to most, Peach doesn’t reject people over sexual orientation, and is very kind to anyone, even Bowser.  Peach’s deepest love is for Mario, who has rescued her many times from Bowser and other villains.  Peach is also close to her friends, Samus, Zelda, Daisy (her cousin), Rosalina, Tifa and Jill, and will turn to them in a non-kidnapping crisis. Peach can be naive, though, getting into difficult situations without knowing of a way out, but her friends always help her through them.

Nintendo Film Dreams

Next to the Miley-Demi-Brandi band movie, my biggest cinematic dream is to write an animated Mario Trilogy, in which I will voice Bowser, Count Bleck, Dimentio and other characters.  Here are the plot summaries, expect even more (as well as possible songs for The Crowners story not listed in previous posts) later.
Film 1: Super Mario; Legend of the Seven Stars; Mario must team up with Mallow, Geno, Bowser and Peach to stop the robotic Smithy Gang from conquering the world.
If Square-Enix is not interested in the above: Super Mario; Quest for the Castle; Fawful has taken over Bowser's Castle!  Mario allies with Daisy, Peach and Bowser to reclaim the Castle before Fawful uses the dark powers of the Magikoopas to become a giant demon force.
Film 2: Super Paper Mario; Mario must ally with Peach, Bowser and Luigi to stop Count Bleck from destroying all worlds.
Film 3: Super Smash Bros.; Mario teams up with an all-star video game cast, including Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Daisy, Zelda, Samus, Link, Kirby, Fox, Wolf, Dr. Mario, Snake and Sonic, to fight the evil forces of Tabuu.  Features the possibility of other third-party video game companies getting involved by using the following characters.
Capcom: Jill Valentine (from the Resident Evil series)
Square-Enix: Geno, Tifa Lockheart, Yuffie Kisaragi, Aerith Gainsborough (from Final Fantasy VII), White Mage (from Final Fantasy), Lara Croft and her Doppelganger (from Tomb Raider).
Namco: Taki, Nightmare/Seigfried, Ivy, Cassandra, Valeria, Sophitia (from Soul Calibur Series).
It's one of my greatest dreams and I hope and pray it will become reality.

Sexuality

This is also going out on a limb, but a friend said this was really good, so I'm posting it.


                I am an extreme novice to this subject.  Though I’ve seen many sexual images, I do not understand much about it.  My father was mostly absent during puberty, and when we met, we never discussed sexuality.  My brother had one brief relationship during senior year, then left for college where he found his girlfriend and we do not discuss sexuality.  As such, I do not know what is normal when it comes to sexuality.  I do not know where the line is between normalcy and a lack of control, is it when you do something sexual daily, is it when you visit internet sites most weekdays for about an hour and a half, when is the line crossed?  I do not understand much in it, which is why it is hard to accept people as sexual.  When I was younger, I would fantasize sexually about Britney Spears.  She had it all and then some physically, but her mental state was beginning to fail.  Eventually, with her charges piling, her idiocy climbing and no end in sight, I left her, got some breathing room.  As I transferred my obsession of pop singers to the more intelligent Miley Cyrus, I blamed myself for what happened to Britney.  Sometimes I think when you’re doing something wrong; God will punish you (not entirely true).  Since I believed God punished me, what was a simple “man crush” became a complex obsession, a desire for utter perfection from both of us and a paranoia of a return to form, the “fallen angel” as the metal band Poison called it.  I don’t know if Miley’s dancing, short pants and tight clothing is normal sexuality for teenagers or not, since if I can’t understand normal sexuality for men my age, how could I hope to understand it for teenage girls, though I will say what’s been said in interviews suggests more of a normalcy about it from her perspective.  The worst thing about sexuality is that once, I took a sex education course in college, expecting to hear about fetishes and try to understand myself.  The class was, to this attempt, a colossal waste of time.  They described human sexuality as the “natural extension of primate sexuality and the sole intention was to engage in sexual intercourse and bear offspring.”  You can choose to believe evolution if you wish, but to me, there is much more to being a human than being the next step up from a chimpanzee.  Humans have a divine spark, seen in music, writing, reasoning, entertainment and worship.  Because of this, my attempt to understand myself further failed, I wanted to know why I found these things sexy, why I would write many stories about such things based on images of such I saw on the Internet.  Homosexuality is not a sin in my eyes, images of what the Internet calls “yuri” or lesbian artwork, is among some of the most beautiful images I have seen.  The Jungian representation in my mind of strength and justice meeting kindness and wisdom is represented in a lesbian relationship between the characters of Samus Aran and Princess Zelda from Nintendo.  Some may ask about verses about homosexuality, this was the place where the class actually helped (though a discussion on what it means to be a man and a woman in Communications Theory the previous quarter had also helped).  Upon hearing the extremely liberal sexuality present in ancient Greek and Roman cultures, where people were expected to be hypersexual, it is clear to me that the Bible is asking people to avoid these cultural demands of the time, to pursue meaningful personal relationships with single partners.  To me, homosexuality was made by God so that teenagers who are discovering sex may be able to write and draw sexual situations without inserting people of their sex into the situation, creating all kinds of uncomfortable feelings.  However, I will somewhat agree with my Republican friend who once complained that he was afraid of what our children were to think family was due to our increasingly liberal standpoint on marriage.  I would miss the traditional nuclear family greatly.  In my experience, family is the people you are related to, the people you live with and have bonds to like aunt, uncle, father, mother, cousin and sibling.  Family can also mean a greater community, like Christianity, at Church, at Western States Youth Gathering, when I read comments by Christian celebrities I agree with, I feel like I’m home, the love of God is all around and everything is at peace.  It is so nice to have people you can love who love you back, so nice to hear words that make you feel not alone.  This is what I love most.  However, I do love the standard Nuclear Family and believe it is something people should desire.
