About Halo (The Game)
If you know me then you probably know I love the Sc-Fi game called "Halo" I'm a bit obsessed with it. I love the books and anything to do with it. When people ask me what it's about, I tell them it's too long to explain and to just Google it. This is a game that really isn't about one thing. The Halo universe is so big! So to those who don't know much about it or want to learn more, then this is for you
_________________________________________________________________________________
The majority of the game is about a guy named "Master chief". That is his rank. He is "Master Chief Petty Officer, John-117"
You maybe wondering why he has"117" at the end of his name. That is because he is a Spartan II.
Spartan II's where kidnapped by the military at the age of 6, replaced with a flashed clone who couldn't speak or do anything but live (Until they died within a couple of months because they degrade quickly)
They took 75 Kids and they put them through very harsh training, until they were 14. At 14 they went through a series of argumentation's where they enhanced just about everything. Eye sight, Reflexes, Strength, Growth, ability to run or think more clearly.
That process's killed 30 and 12 suffered from deformities. only 33 survived the procedures with no physiological deformities.
they were trained to suppress there emotions. Simply hugging or shaking hands is very odd for them.
They address the Spartan as there number. There were originally 175 canidiates for the program. The observed them and figured out which they wanted to take. John was number 117 so he was stuck with this number, So were the rest of the II's.
The game's are about Master chief fighting the aliens known as the Covenant.
In the first game they crash land on a ring shaped planet called 'Halo' In the beginning they have no idea what this thing is, but over time they figure out that an ancient alien race,(Forerunners) far greater then the covenant created it. If it is activated then it will wipe out all life for trillions of light years. (In other words, you're screwed no matter how far you travel) And they have to stop them from doing it.
Along the way the Covenant releases Zombie like being's called "The Flood" They use there sharp tentacle like things to enter your skin and into your body, taking you over and learning things by going through you're mind and memories. (It's extremely pain for and you don't always die from it.) So if you are a pilot then they can learn how to fly by going through your mind.
They take over your body and mind and also can mutate your body to have claws and stuff. As the body decades over time, they are able to do more things and mutate it even more to where it is unrecognizable as a human.
That is why these 'Forerunners' Created the Halo. Because the only way to kill them all off is to wipe out there food source.
At the end of the first game, Master chief and his A.I. companion end up destroying the Halo.Thinking they wiped out all of the Flood. but what they don't know is there is 6 more installations (Halo's) that are spread out through the Galaxy. And the flood as been released on all of them.
Halo 2 is when the covenant end up finding Earth.
before they were trying to locate Earth but never found it. They found tons of other planets and Glassed them (Basically shooting big beams of plasma at it and burning everything making it lifeless)
They had glassed about every planet but Earth, so when they found it, everyone thought that the war was over, they were screwed.
But the Spartans continued to fight and some of the covenant ended up retreating (Which Chief followed) but they weren't retreating at all. They had found another Halo. During the the time that Chief was on the second Halo one of the covenant member's ( An elite as the Humans called them) started to rebel against them. Eventually He teamed up with a marine to help stop the covenant from activating it. Master Chief then destroyed it the second time. Leaving his A.I (Cortana) Behind telling her he will comeback back to find her, in which she replied
He left on a Forerunner ship that he found out the covenant we using. Ending with Lord Hood asking him what he was doing on that ship and he replied; "Sir, Finishing this fight"
At the very end of the credits there is a extra scene. Showing Cortana on High Charity (Which is basically the covenants mother ship that was on Halo at the time it blew up)
She is talking to a Grave Mind. (A grave mind is the leader of the flood. There is only one Grave Mind at a time. a Grave Mind is created when a Flood takes over so many beings that it has the mind of millions. It is quite intelligent)
He talks to her saying "Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone. But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on. I will ask, and you will answer"
And she reply's with "Alright, shoot" and then it ends.
Now onto Halo 3. The Arbiter (That Elite) and Master Chief have teamed up. Most of the Elites have teamed up with the Humans to beat the covenant.
As they fight the Covenant, chief get's these brief messages from Cortana at random times. They usually make no sense. Just a quick thing of her showing up and saying something and it ends.
As the go on they see High Charity crash land onto Earth, bringing the flood with it, and Cortana. They covenant activate a portal on Earth that was created by the Forerunners, leading to a thing called the "Ark" Which controls all the Halo's. He needs Cortana who has a key (Index) From the first Halo that will activate it. whoever is on the Ark when they activate the Halo will survive. So they make the decision to activate the Halo's too kill the flood.
He heads towards High Charity to find her. He eventually does and she had basically gone mad.
The Grave Mind had messed with her so much and she went part Rampant. ( When an A.I basically goes nuts from thinking so much. They usually only last 7 years, tops.)
Together they go to activate the First Halo, which is on the Ark.
Since it was destroyed, these monitors were re-building another Halo, the same as the first, on the Ark.
It is so new that when they activate it, it begins to fall apart. They rush to get to there ship called "Forward Unto Dawn" The make it just in time. But that portal back to Earth is now closing. Only half of the ship (which had the Arbiter on it) Makes it. The other half gets stranded in the middle of space. Millions of light years away from anyone. So now Chief and the slowly going Rampant A.I are loss'd. Chief goes into Cryo sleep while She watched over them and sends out a beacon, hoping someone to one find them.
Back at Earth they have won the fight against both the Covenant and the Flood. They hold a celebration and a memorial to the ones who lost there lives, including chief. (He is listed MIA and assumed dead)
And it ends.
At least we think.... 4 years later he is found and Halo 4 begins.

I would have gone into more detail about the books and stuff but this was more focused on the games. This is a somewhat brief summary. I still had many things to explain and could have gone into more detail but I am tired.

Hurts
It's hard for me to stay mad at people that I care about. Even if they did or said something very wrong and hurtful.
They way I look at people is, they all have a good side to them. And they all have hurts.
Whether minor or big.
Those hurts stick with you and your subconscious mind acts a certain way to make sure that, that hurt doesn't happen again. Like a barrier.
So when people act out to me or something I do get upset or mad but instead of blowing a top and arguing with them, I sit there and talk to them. Tell them how that was rude or mean and explain to them how they can fix it.
People do they things they do for a reason. It can be because of the past or a current situation.
We have to be there for them to help them and get them on the right path.
Sincerely, the girl with a complex mind.

Forgiveness
I love the band "My Chemical Romance" they recently said that there done making music. Well a 30 year-old guy who was once in the band in the beginning got kicked out for his lack of performance.
That was 10 years ago.
After the news of them ending came out he tweeted "Finally. I can sleep peacefully now"
obviously fans were pretty upset about that. But I talked to him and said that he could let go and forgive them. It was a while ago. People make mistakes.
He replied "Somethings can't be forgiven"
The thing that annoyed me the most is that all that happened was he got kicked out. They might have been rude or mean about it but that's all.
I met a friend who her parents tried to abort her. She was abused all throughout her young life and was severally depressed because of it. There's a lot more to it but that's all I'm gonna say.
Well she is 18 and she has completely forgiven her parents for what they've done. Her mom doesn't want to see her but she doesn't care. She still loves her and tries to help her.
My thing is. If she can forgive that, than he can forgive being kicked out of a band.
Nothing is unforgivable. You have a choice.

Corruption in People
Everyone and everything is corrupted.
whether a company, family, government or person. we all have a good side and a bad side. We all act like jerks at times and say things we regret. It's how we react to those situations that show us what we truly are.
Arrogant?
Rude?
Selfish?
Apologetic?
Understanding?
Kindhearted?
Anna Frank said something once about how you only, truly know someone when you have a fight with them. And it's true. There personality comes out.
The point of this is for you to understand that people aren't perfect and if you're going to end a friendship or relationship over a simple argument then you might as well not even try. There will be fights and things said that shouldn't be said at time. But it's the heart that counts. If you know that, that person really does care about you than don't end it because of that. Work through it. You get closer to each other after you do it. You understand one another more.

Gays & Same-Sex Marriage
Right now, marriage is a very touchy subject for people. Some believe that same-sex marriage is alright and others think it should be between a man and a woman.
Me? I agree that it should stay between a man and a woman.
People tend to think that if you don't agree with same-sex marriage than you hate gays and you're a bad person. But that's not true. Being Gay is a sin just as bad as lying and lying is just as bad as killing. It's all the same! Sin is sin.
I have friends that are Homosexual and I still love them. I don't condemn them but I just let them know that I love them and show them how great God is.
But I find it interesting that people say that everyone has there own voice and opinions and it's okay to be different. But when it goes against THERE way of thinking, apparently, it's not acceptable.
That is society's way of thinking. I make it my goal to not be with society's way of thinking.
Back on to the topic. The reason why I am against same-sex marriage is because, it obviously wasn't made to be like that. People say "It's natural, animals do it"
They do it because we live in a fallen world that is corrupted. nothing is pure and innocent. Have you ever seen a lion follow it's prey, just to play a friendly game?
Or a bear have a pet fish?
No. Because this world is corrupted by sin.
I love everyone, no matter who they are and what there choices are. But this is my choice and I'm not backing down from something I believe in.
