My delivery was rather shit and the videos could have been edited down in length (the same going for the script I read off), but the points I made from the 10 minute of Part 2 establish pretty well what I think about certain forms of feminism used to vainly judge and criticize entertainment mediums, in this case, video games.

By the way, speaking of humanity being bad/not so bad, i think it's little funny how star trek tries to make us feel bad whenever other race questions our morals/history. It's absurd to think other species in the outer space wouldn't go through similiar history before their ''enlightment''. Imagine if in couple of hundred years we'd be the most advanced specie in the whole galaxy and we'd go out there to torment aliens. We'd accuse them for being violent and greedy and as a threat and then they'd have to prove that they can change or something. It's just stupid. A higher specie wouldn't do something like that. By the way, wich do you prefer Kirk or Picard, Spock or Data?

Yeah, the very idea of provocative art can be ''because i can'' and just for the hell you want people to wonder if there's a message behind it. Even so, art is at it's best when you makes you think or have ideas. One topic that'd interest me is to make fun of/critisize modern pop culture filled with sex (with bad taste) and liberal propaganda. One idea would be to make a montage video of deformed people with lady gaga's Born this way on it. Imagine, seeing The elephant man and hearing her lyrics ''I'm beautiful in my way 'Cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way''... Yeah, lady gaga's lyrics are often provocative towards religious people, but changing the visuals of the music changes the message. ''Don't be a drag just be a queen''.. And then you'd see a hermaphrodite or a plastic surgery disaster-transgender.

Hmm, that's a good idea, actually brilliant. Used condoms and malformed fetuses or/and infants. That'd be incredibly provocative yet mindblowing. If i'd see that kind of picture, i'd immidietly think of is there some sort of connection between condoms and malformation. I rarely watch tv too, mostly documentaries (mostly food & history related) and alot of reruns. Now i only watch True Blood, Star Trek Next generations (just started from the 1st season, i feel really nerdy), the simpsons, Married with children reruns and Misfits (that british tv-show). I torrent South Park, Beavis and butthead and big bang theory. There was this show, The Legend of The seeker wich only had 2 seasons since it was based on a novel, it was awesome. And whenever it gets a blu-ray release, i'm getting it. I've also been torrenting Batman The Animated series and movies that you really can't find anywhere.

And people would think ''Why do i have to see this'', ''This is disgusting'' etc. Well because it's fun to provoke people and it's stuff people see everyday, nobody asks them if they want to see it.

I like that kind of modern art where it uses alot of space, maby even a small room like you said. Being interactive is also interesting. But the very simple stuff often bores me, it makes me feel apathethic and frustrated. And it's not like '' i'm feeling the frustration of the artist'', and even if i would, i wouldn't care about his/her frustration. But sometimes the simple stuff is also good, if it's something that's worth looking. Sometimes we see normal things differently when they're displayed as art. And i've got an idea from, wich is that i should choose few objects that i would photograph whenever i see them. And whenever there's enough photos, i'd combine them in one. Well i wouldn't just photograph trash from the streets, but photographing used condoms from bus stops would be fun and provoking. Imagine if i'd had an collection/exhibit of works that are just photos of ordinary things and at the end of the exhibit there'd be pictures of used condoms.

I like TBBT, but i loathe The Desperate housewifes, i feel like my brain is melting when i watch it, it's so stupid and unfunny. Btw, the best sitcom ever is Married with children and TBBT comes nowhere near it's awesomeness. I do similiar stuff too, i'm always curiously looking people who seem to share same interests as i do, well maby everybody does. I used to know some java-programming, but i've completely forgot about it, even though it interests me. Those white metal-sheets sound very ''interesting''. Speaking of art, i got a letter from Ateneum Art Museum (since i've got a membership, i can go there free of charge), seems like there's gonna be a pretty good exhibit of Symbolism art. I like symbolism.

Just listened to some of your library and found portion control, very nice. Also, I ordered the MorF DVD from Netflix and have been able to view and participate a little. I am loving what is on there so far. Can't think of anyone else that is doing what they are doing on this DVD. Thanks for the suggest.

Isn't modern art basicly dadaism? Well pure dada is of course more abstract and little nihilistic. But What i know, is that Cubism a form of dada... Well Avant Garde/Dada in general is fun. The kind of art i hate is the one that has the idea of spreading ''think differently''. First of all, that's the worst excuse to make ''art'', avant garde/dada should be about something deeper (Surrealism too)... And, yeah right i'm gonna think diffrently because somebody tells me to do so. Sometimes these ''blank canvas on the wall''-type of pieces are respected because the idea/message or even history behind.. But they are still over-rated. I like dada/avant garde works that don't try to make sense, but still give you emotions or some kind of mind-set. This is one of my favourites and it's why have it as an poster: http://www.portlandart.net/archives/manray.jpg I like it because it makes me feel calm and relaxed. I love the look on that woman's face. I also like transgressive art.

I've heard that ''Bear Guy''-gay movement is pretty big too in finland, i've heard there's a cafe for them.. But enough of gays and hipsters. If you're interested in that guy, i suggest you try liking the big bang theory and buying one of their shirts too. I like the show, even though it's getting worse by every episode. It's drifting away (too quickly) from the original idea.. What's the point of all of them having girlfriends and being total studs? Anyway, everyday i see teens with darker styles and band shirts. Most of the time it's just the usual styles, nothing really personal.. And the bands are just plain metallica, nirvana, slayer etc. And then there are emo/metalcore-girls. The only time somebody wore a shirt that somehow represented something that i am, was a regular customer's girlfriend. She had exactly the same rob zombie t-shirt that i have.

Not really, not all of them are hipsters but dress like hipsters. I've got few old classmates that are lesbians and are hipsters/hipster-like. I'm guessing, that because Helsinki is such a hipster friendly place and it's where gay people get together, it makes some of them little hipster. The other day we had a guy as a trainee who was most definetly gay, high pitch voice and the way he spoke and his expressions and body movement. Before he started he came to me to sign up and his clothes were very hipster-like clothes.. And Turqoise Converse-shoes. Anyway, i'm not really saying that all finnish gay people are hipsters, i guess i'm saying most gays of helsinki are somewhat hipster.

One more thing about the Helsinki's hipsters, i see many hipsters there when i go there, but none of them look like the people on that site. But they all hang around a mall called Kamppi, because there's everything they need near it... Even a ''Modern Art''-Museum, Kiasma.. Wich is full of left-over dada and other ''modern art''. For some reasons, the gay hipsters love Kiasma. But i, as a friend of art.. I say it's just a load of bullshit. I'd rather go to Ateneum, wich is full of finnish art. I've been to a salvador dali art-exhibition and a ''DADA''-exhbition that was a collection of most well known dada-pieces. Kiasma is full of works of people who wish to make something like they have done.

Maturity is probably a wrong word, i just don't want to appear like a person who's only thing in the world he cares about is the music he listens to, or the games he plays. And by that i mean i really have couple of too many of those collector's edition games wich came with statues and other things i could use as decorations. About your dream, i guess that dream means that those three things mean alot to you and the fire is a symbol of losing them or something. I wonder how long it takes for me to start having dreams of my own appartment.

You know, i think Helsinki is a capital of hipsters and people on that website are so hipster it hurts. There are guys that are obviously gay and have no sense of style whatsoever. The Finnish gay people are most likely hipsters. Most of the gay people of Finland move to Helsinki since there aren't places for them (and other people like them) in the countryside. I've seen couple of my friends on that site too, but they've been just metalheads with messy clothes. Oh and everytime Lady Gaga has been here, i've seen pictures of her fans that dress up to her concert, it's even worse than that site. The funny thing is, i've never seen anybody dress like that (like on the website) in real life when i've been to helsinki. You're more likely to see goths, punks etc. that dress up in weird clothes than these hipsters.

I've been forgetting and remembering tiny parts of my longer dreams, of course they make no sense. Other thing (maby this is because of stress) is when ever i've woken up strange thoughts/scenarios have run trough my mind. None of it makes sense, but it takes a while to realize that what you're thinking is complete nonesense.

Cool, decorating with halloween stuff sounds nice. I've avoided buying any band stuff and such, i want my appartment to appear more mature, maby couple of fan stuff there and there, but i can't fill my apartment with posters and other stuff. I've been really busy with work and my appartment. Robberies are really rare in Finland, if they happend, they mostly happend in Helsinki and often by foreigners. I don't think any smackhead would really have the guts to follow me or anything, but it's always possible. After all, of these smackheads have been terrified by me. There was that one guy who's not a complete total smackhead, but still a junkie/rat who whenever sees me looks away. Is it just plain junkie behaviour or is it me? I know i workout, but i don't think i look like a gorilla or anything. But comparing me to skinny skeleton-smackheads, i may appear to be stronger than them.

I'm fine with christian neighbour, or i think. I used to go to sunday school and church's summer camps and i always felt welcome and accepted there, no matter how weird kid i was. If they are old congregation workers, they shouldn't be judgemental. It's just that i've been thinking of a scenario where i listen to heavy metal or something and i'd have an asshole neighbor who would label it and me satanic or something. Even so, i'm planning to have Bosch's Garden of Earthly delights as a poster or Blake's The Great red dragon and the women clothed in sun.

Pity that the people you live with aren't your type. Hope your roomate is more your type. I'm wondering myself how i can make my new home.. Home. What makes it feel right etc. I don't want there to be too much band-stuff, maby a clock and a poster but that'd be it. I've realized i've bought some video games with collector stuff i need to place somewhere, it's a real problem.. But i might be able to make some good decorations with them. (I've got: Helghast helmet, Uncharted 3 box, Batman statue, Duke Nukem Statue and i think there was more.. There'll be a borderlands 2 bobble head, oh god what have i done...) I found out that the building was originally built by the church for it's workers (priest and others). I had a cross-necklace when i made the purchase and the seller first noticed that, and in when the deal was made she said something like Good luck and prosperity in your life and may the god bless you etc. And i noticed some cars in the parking lot had those christian fish-symbols

Nope, i got an appartment loan (or is it mortgage?) for it and my parents helped little bit, it's little complicated to explain, but i got the loan because i've worked ever since i was 14. My friend was like ''So your parents bought the house and you're paying them ''rent'', like i do''.. The thing is, my friend couldn't have a bank loan since he hasn't worked as long as me. Even so, i'd hope to have girlfriend who'd move in with me. It's a nice bachelor-style appartment, the building has two floors and mine is on the top floor. It's location is great, near my work and couple of other things. And close to some of my friends. What kind of stuff are you moving in? How big is your appartment? I need to start looking for furniture.

How have you been? Have you made any friends yet? My offer for an appartment was accepted and i'm doing the contracts tomorrow. I've got more than enough money on my saving account for the furniture i need, by far everything seems awesome. Seems like having your own apprtment makes it easier to socialize with friends (well of course, duh... But now i really see what it means).

It only had Kirk in it, i've never seen Mallinder interviewed. I know what Kirk's been doing all these years, but what about Mallinder? It also had OMD and John Foxx wich was pretty sweet. I should buy some of those Cabaret Voltaire DVD's maby TG dvd's too, i already have SpK's Despair-dvd wich for me is kind of a treasure. Sure it has some Autopsy-gore etc. (and i don't like gore), but it's surreal and artistic. There are Harsh noise/death industrial acts that try to be more hardcore, but it's completely unessecary, things become caricaturic when they try to be ''more hardcore''.

Yeah, i guess most of your last.fm friends are male too. It's probably because you share the same interest as the boys. Then again, the girls that shared same interests that i do never cared about me. Actually i do have a one female friend that is closer than others, we often talk about films and movies. Most of the time she points out that i have pretty much the same music taste as her Irish father.

I think it's silly to have so many names for something so simple and everyday-things. Like Tramms are cable cars and Movie Theaters are cinemas etc. But personally i really hate these super market terms in English, i try to come up what things mean in english and i come up with many terms and i'm not sure wich one is the right one.. Or if they're even real. If i'd translate the finnish shopping trollie, it'd be ''Purchase wagon'' or something. Well i hope you get along with male-friends (do you?). I wouldn't mind having couple of female-friends, i get along with them and with girls you talk about different stuff and in a different way. Too bad i only have non-close female friends, i don't hang around with them.. But they're part of the ''gang''..
