Unions I've Joined: 23. Unions I'm Active In: 0.

Hello one and all gamers and other people who have reached my page, probably by mistake. I welcome you.

Today, I'd like to talk about unions. Unions, according to the dictionary, are "a number of persons, states, etc., joined or associated together for some common purpose". There are big unions, small unions, ultra unions, and the ever-popular Super Union, which is seen maybe once in a decade.

Most unions are good, but some are bad. Take, for example, the Writer's Guild of America. These people planned a conspiracy to go on strike late last year in order to halt the greatest show on television, 24, until January 2009. That is what I call a bad union. Also, teacher's unions, who are often corrupted by special interests and don't pay any attention to what is right for the students, or in some cases, even what's right for the teachers. This is one of the biggest causes of the mediocre public school system in America. That's a bad kind of union.

But, every so often, you come across a union that's not good, not bad. You just, don't care about it. You want to, but you just, don't. Case in point, unions on Gamespot. Honestly, I love the idea of unions here. It's a great idea, but it's often poorly executed. The first time I got a union invite, I thought to myself "Hey, self. Somebody took the time to invite me, they must want me there. That makes me feel fuzzy. I think I'll join".

I've joined 23 unions so far, all in the hopes of trying to find that one union that really makes me feel warm and fuzzy. None of them have, and I'm currently not active in any of them. Maybe it's because I don't play enough modern games or something, but none of them strike me as interesting, at all.

If you're a part of a union that you really like, maybe you could suggest it to me. Because now, with 23 unions I've joined with no luck, I thinkI I'm going to start declining these invites, or just ignoring them altogether, because this is getting annoying. I still like the concept of unions, so if I could find one I really like, that'd be great. But, it doesn't look like that'll happen any time soon.

So, that's it. I got Star Wars Jedi Starfighter in the mail the other day. It's really good. Next blog, or one down the road, I'll give my general thoughts on Star Wars games. I assure you it'll be a bit different from others who have spoken on the subject. Anyway, I'm gone for now. See you whenever.
