Can`t sleep so I`ll blog about Prison Break and The Legend of Zelda.

Read at own risk, slight spoiler so um, either watch Prison Break`s first two seasons before reading this blog or just continue to read and be spoiled! ;)

While trying to sleep in my new apartment (yeah, I moved again...) my mind was racing a mile a minute but the one thought that kept reoccurring was how similar Michael Schofield and Link are peculiarly similar.

I`ve been re-watching Prison Break with my boyfriend (who I moved in with. I`m so in love :) So far we`ve reached the end of season 2. Some parts of the show I remember and other parts have stayed in my brain since the episodes first aired!

Anyway,so Michael Schofield is the main character in the Prison Break series where he tries to break out of prison (no duh!) to rescue his brother who has been wrongly accused of murdering the Vice President`s brother. And Link is the main character in a popular video game series called The Legend of Zelda where he`s a regular boy minding his own business then he finds out he`s the hero of legends past who has to save the world of Hyrule!

So here`s my comparison. Michael Schofield seems to be a quiet man. Although he`s a genius who later becomes hardened from his trials of saving his brother part of his personality is still child-like. The way he expresses his hopes and dreams of justice just seem too innocent but not in a tacky way. I find that part of his personality is what Link`s character is exactly what it`s suppose to be.

In the popular video game series, Link does not say a word so part of his personality is left to the gamer`s imagination. And according to my imagination Link is like everyone else where he has issues about being the so-called hero of time but yet with the help and encouragement of his fellowmen he presses onward to complete his ultimate mission.

In the Prison Break show you get to see Michael Schofield`s romantic interest. Although it seems like they can never truly be together kind of like Romeo and Juliet, he`ll still sacrifice his freedom for her just so she doesn`t have to experience the same pain that he felt while in prison. Link shadows Michael Schofield`s traits by never giving up to save his people especially Zelda. It`s been debated whether or not Link and Zelda are romantically linked but if you watch the TV cartoon from back in the 90s it`s pretty obvious that they are dating but never get a chance to give each other a romantic kiss. Anyway, I`m focusing this blog on the video game series not the 90s cartoon. After Link meets the Princess Zelda and predicting her destiny he`ll always fight to make sure her kingdom doesn`t fall. Wow! That`s also romantic.

PAYPAL WARNING: I've just been phished!

Hi all,

This is just a warning where if you've received an email that looked like it's from PayPal it probably wasn't.

The email asked me to add a debit card because it would help them to identify me whenever I used my credit card online because, according to the email, that people have been stealing credit cards and opening PayPal accounts with them. I almost bought the email right before I right clicked the email's link that it wanted me to use to add my debit card information and it was http://www restore1 us/. I don't want to write the actual link just in case someone accidentally clicks on it.

Anyway, I went to my PayPal account to see if the email's claims were true. PayPal didn't have any pages dedicated to opening a debit card account so I then went to their link about fraudulent emails and here's the link if you think you've been a victim of a phishing scam:

Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Emails

I forwarded the phishing email to PayPal and they sent me a quick response saying that my instincts were right.

Whether it's a call, email or snail mail, try to confirm whatever the message claims. It could save you from a lot of pain.

Whoa! I just sold my fridge, washer and dryer!

So I'm moving again. It will be move #5. And again this move seems to be going smoothly. I was a little stressed because I couldn't seem to find any buyers until a nice good old American man who's a project manager for a telecommunications company stumbled upon my online craiglist's ad. And he wanted all 3 appliances! And he even had 3 other guys move them all out within half an hour. I did only sell them for $250. But that's okay. After I sell my stove to my future brother in law I'll get all the money back from when I first bought the appliances. I'm super happy!

What does Nintendo mean to you?

Whoa! I Googled the definition of the Japanese word Nintendo and I stumbled upon the below link and of course one of the comments stood out to me. Just a little warning there is adult content.

comradetrotskii: Nintendo was pretty much a defining part of my childhood. Friendships were formed and solidified around Nintendo consoles and exchanging/talking about games. Friendships were broken around whether Nintendo was better than Sega. Nintendo is still to this day an important part of my life, whether it be humming a Zelda tune while walking up the road or enjoying some drunken multiplayer. And unlike my father Nintendo has yet to walk out.To me Nintendo is more than just a games company its an integral part of my life, something that has been there constantly since I was about 7 years old. I'm not ashamed to admit that, and I hope that it is always the case.comradetrotskii: I really dislike my last comment. What I was trying to say is that Nintendo has been a constant since my childhood. Like a best friend since childhood, sure you've had ups and downs with him but you know they will always be there and you can't really conceive of life without them. While you have both grown up a bit you still share the same childish immaturity that you always had. Most gamers on the wrong side of 20 will hopefully agree there.Sony is more like your first shagging partner and Xbox her younger sexier sister. As much as you love these two you'd still rather spend most time with your good friend, unless you are really horny.I'm pretty sure that came out all wrong.

Just testing out my Blackberry

Yeah that's right I got me a new smartphone! A Blackberry Curve 8330. Unfortunately I killed my Moto Q by cleaning it a bit too far. So sensitive those buttons can be! Anyway, right now I'm sitting inside a billard (a place to play pool). I think I've waited at least half an hour just to order some food! Oh well- Oh wait a menu just came yes! Okay enough of my restaurant's pet peeves and more about what's going on in my life:

I think I want to go pro playing pool! Umm, not really but that would be definitely interesting. Actually I do want to change careers from testing out software to taking care of children either at a daycare or be like an aid for a teacher.

Sometimes I sit at my computer desk thinking how is what I'm doing bettering my community? Umm, I don't think bettering is a word but I just made it a word. Anyway, the way I see it I`m only bettering my world.
