:? I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Its kind of weird too since he's not really a gamer more of the casual crowd gamer type. You know the ones that goes out and buys all those things for the wii and stuff. He also just bought MW2 but he's afraid to go online and get his a$$ handed to him by all the expert players and rightfully so since he's struggling on the regular difficulty in campaign mode. But it could be a good thing to have him as a friend since I could always ask if he needs help at work and pick up a shift since he's the cool boss and not like the other boss whichheis very quietand just gives you that look that just makes you work harder for the fear of losing your job. I can't really explain it well but he is definitely not the kind of guy you want as an enemy.
But anyways this was the real main focus of my blog. I was in a chatroom I helped create more than a week ago and people are still joining the chatroom (mainly because of the name "invite all your friends even if they are offline") so there are always new faces in the chatroom. So there this girl (at least according to her psn id) not really complaining but stating that her life sucked. No one was really chatting since I'm sure everyone was off to playing their respective games so I decided to take a few minutes out of my time to make her feel special. She started to complain about her ex-boyfriend I guess (she wasn't really being descriptive) and saying that she was betrayed at love or something. I told her well everyone has problems and you just have to deal with it. There was alot of back and forth bickering between us then she said something "If you and your lover were on fire would you save yourself or your lover?" I told her I'd save myself since I can't really save someone if I'm in trouble too. I'd help her out after I somehow managed to put myself out too but I think any person that didn't panic in that kind of situation would stop, drop, and roll. I think a better analogy would to be if you were both in quicksand would you save her or yourself. Well since I'm in the same trouble I don't think anything I could do would be beneficial for her but if I could save myself I would be in a much better position to help her out afterwards.
Well she called me heartless for not trying to save her at the cost of my life. I tried explaining my logic to her but she wouldn't hear of it. But sacrificing yourself to save someone isn't really saving someone if they loved you. I could go on a long rant about that but I just want to wrap this up and seeing as thatstatement shouldn't be in the same topic as this since you both were in trouble not just one person who needs to sacrifice his/her life to save the other. (which I'd probably do anyway, yes I'm a hypocrite) I called her childish for thinking that love is the only thing that's important in life. She thinks with her heart and disregards logic. Then she said that I'm not old enough to understand what love is, which is funny since I think she really doesn't understand love. I pretty much called her a teenager cause that's typical teenager girl stuff that girls go through in life. Not that I would know... I just watch too many crappy movies based on sterotypical boy/girl love. And it turns out I was right since she said she was 19 just got out of high school and went into college.
So if you did manage to read all that (wow I'm impressed :o) Basically same question if both of you and your lover were in the same trouble would you save yourself or save your lover. I don't really care if you take her side or my side, or who's right and wrong (though I have to say I'm right :P) I just want it to put in perspective of how many people out there think like me or her or maybe you have your own solution.
