So my brother is really into Minecraft. I don't know exactly what it is...best I can figure is that it's a building game where everything is cube-shaped. I haven't seen any circles. Everything is made of blocks. Even the sun and clouds are blocks. Anyway, he keeps trying to show me stuff that he's built, and I do look at some stuff, but since I'm not into building I'm never really that impressed. (Until he built our house on Minecraft. THAT was pretty good.)
Anyway, getting to the story. For the past two weeks he's convinced me to watch some Minecraft music videos. Two weeks ago he showed me three different ones. Ever since then I've had the one called "Revenge" stuck in my brain every other day and I've had to listen to it a lot just to get it out. I find myself humming it when I'm focusing on math or Spanish. Here's the link if you want to listen/watch:

Then last week he showed me another one, called "Cube Land." Again, I've had it stuck in my head ever since. Good thing the song is catchy and has an interesting video. I guess this one is what finally got me interested in Minecraft and the only reason I'm typing this post: the mysterious character Herobrine that was featured in the video. He apparently looks like the character you start with, Steve, only his eyes are empty and glow in the dark. Kadin says he can control lighting. I don't really know much, but in doing some research I've discovered that he's a really big mystery. He is apparently not supposed to exist, and many don't believe he does, but others have caught him in their single-player worlds. Sometimes he just stands there and stares while other times he'll chase you and try to kill you. He's a very controversial subject, I guess you could say. In any case, Herobrine is what finally drew my attention to the game my bro likes so much.
Why am I drawn to characters like this? I don't know for sure. I was drawn to Shadow and Raphael and Antauri in the same kind of way - they each have some sort of mystery about them or puzzle that I just have to solve. I guess Herobrine is kind of similar in that respect.
Well, that's my life so far. I'm REALLY ready for Christmas break. My homework tonight took me a whopping hour and a half. Usually I'm only working for 45 minutes at the most. I guess that's what I get for missing a day. Two days = two times the homework. Fun...NOT.
On the plus side, I'm going to play some Sonic racing with my bro. He like never wants to play it with me so I'm going to take advantage of this oppurtunity. But first I owe Sonic a race from five-ish weeks ago...
