Text Post with an Image

● Not all posts with images are a photo post. Sometimes, you want to add a visual to written content. Simply put, there are many exceptions to the rules. Don’t feel like being defined by a category? Embrace that! Rather than coloring between or outside the lines, you’re allowed to slip between the cracks–finding another path as of yet undiscovered.

● Who wouldn’t want plenty of visualization? Variety is the spice of life. Without seeing all the variables, we’re left with a colorless impression. Instead, allow this post to act as yet another example.

I just finished the hardest Randomized Zelda build I’ve ever encountered all while listening to this on loop

Version 2.5.2

Seed: 778312381708

Flags: 8!6820A7NQ771N057

(to be fair, I think the fact that I don’t know the second quest dungeons as well as the first quest is what made it exceptionally difficult for me)

Political Campaigning and Fracking

My classmate Zach Piper's topic is seemingly unrelated to mine, however there are parallels. His topic is about how politicians use ads to try to sway the general public, which relates to fracking because politicians attempt to convince the public that fracking is not as dangerous as some say it is. This is not only limited to fracking, but some politicians attempt to claim harmful side affects of renewable energies such as wind and solar power. Politicians attempt to convince us of the benefits of fracking, and deny its negative affects, so that the economy can continue to thrive. Politicians also support fracking companies because they help contribute to their campaign funds, and politicians want to get elected more than anything.

A classmate of mine named Lucas is in charge of a blog that is anti fracking.  Fracking is becoming an increasingly popular issue for activists and politicians alike.  I found this ad that isn't a politician, is legendary singer James Taylor, but is the same idea of how negative advertising can be so effective.  Seeing a beloved celebrity calmly express the negative effects of fracking can make people change their minds.  It's a powerful tool that isn't just used when people want to get votes.

Test Chamber #20, and Tumblr is... looking really good. Mainly considering that I'm actually doing things not related to my queue.

I'm just in such a downer mood right now. It's like when you spoil yourself on what's going to happen in a book, and then you reach the point in the book, and the thing happens, and no matter how awesome it is, you just feel hollow inside because you weren't proven wrong. 

That's how this election is to me; and while everyone else was psyched out by the plot twist (or lack thereof), or was at least seriously invested in the story and unsure of what was going to happen, I'm just sitting here like "Yeah, no surprises...moving on."

Todd Akin's gone, too, though. I guess that's happy (no, that's REALLY happy...but predictable, as well). 

SO.

This is my election feeling in a nutshell. Now, to zombies.
