18 things

Ok so other than a note a few weeks back it has been over a year since I blogged. I stopped for personal reasons some of which are public enough for me to mention and maybe blog about later assuming blogging again becomes a habit. I am planning on doing this once a week, but I have said that before so I am not sure I trust my reliability on that issue. Regardless however I stopped and some things have changed since last I blogged. So in order to catch everyone up I am going to do18 quick subjects. (this is somewhat based on the blog I posted on June 1 2009,” the pre 40-25, this could be called the post 41-18.
1) Have you noticed how hot Fandom has gotten?
In the last few years I have noticed that “geek” girls, especially fantasy/comic book/sci-fi geek girls are SMOKING HOT. Sure sports geeks have cheer leaders, who are also hot, but they want to have sex with the players not the watchers. ComicCon style girls apparently (I am in a relationship that isn’t “complicated” so I do not know this first hand) like to have sex with guys who like the same stuff they do, which is to say MY People. No real deep point here, in fact quite a shallow one. I just thought I would bring your attention to it.
2) Why is pot still Illegal?
A return to my previous number 2. Want to see my reasons go read that again. Nothing has changed. UNELSS you live in California. Then VOTE to make it legal. Please.
3) The USA was never meant to be a Christian nation.
We rebelled against a Christian nation. Part of what made the Christian nations of Europe so upset about the early US of A was the lack of God in our government. That is NOT to say we are not a nation of mostly Christians whose moral code is basically that of the Bible. That is what we are.
4) Comic books and superheroes ARE NOT the same thing.
Yes comic books and Superheroes go together often, but a “superhero” move is not necessarily a “comic book” movie, and there are A LOT of comic book based movies that have NO superheroes. I know it’s a nit, but it bothers me.
5) There is no number five.
6) The “Tea Party”…
I have no words. You can NOT speak that way about my parents and friends and expect to be treated as anything but the insulting pigs you are.
7) Green Lantern Movie in 2011!
Please dear Guardians of Oa, let it be good. I am so hyped up about this.
8) As I write this my religion is _______.
I have accepted the teachings of Christ on my own terms. I feel I could call myself Christian because of this, but as I believe the Bible to have been tampered with, and full faith in the Bible is part of being Christian to a large number of people. Also I am still Polytheistic and have many Wicca based beliefs as well. My reason for believing as I do is between me and the gods. They also told me you would think I was Crazy for talking to them.
9) The oil spill in the gulf was caused by criminal incompetence, and the people of the United States have the right to investigate it.
If you stand by the blocking of the investigation you stand with money and against the citizens who were hurt. You are as trustworthy and pro little guy as anyone who chooses to sell out his countrymen to protect English money. (If you didn’t get any of said cash then you sold out you countrymen for nothing)
10) I love my lady and she loves me.
Not a dream not an imaginary story.
11) If you think compassion is a weakness you do not understand true strength.
Nuff’ Said.
12) There is no hope of Love in the Marvel Universe.
Something my Lady said to me that I can’t argue with. Well there may be a little love left in Sue and Reed. (If you have no idea what this means you should read more comics)
13) Skipped for no good reason
14) I hope the rest of the shared continuity Marvel Movies are good.
If you know what I mean you probably agree if you don’t that’s OK.
15) Any Christian Church that stresses “obedience” instead of “forgiveness” is a failed church.
I may not be fully Christian, but I read the Bible enough to know the rules those who call themselves such must follow to get to Heaven. You can’t really support war at all, or oppose ANY form of charity.
16) Racism is on BOTH sides of the Immigration issue.
The whole Arizona thing, I see a lot of poor and middle class people drinking, carrying guns and waving flags while surrounded by mostly people of the same skin tone. Both sides shouting because some news orginzation, owned by rich guys who want them both distracted, told them to.
17) If you really want to stop illegal immigration, go after the bosses.
Anything else WILL NOT work. The people who come here illegally often do so at great risk to their lives. They are more determined than any border guard can be. As long as there are jobs for them to do they WILL keep coming. If you really want to stop them fine ANY employer of illegals out of existence. The democrats won’t do that because they support immigration. The republicans won’t do that because they support the bosses. But hey it’s a great distraction from the real problems.
18) I should lighten up on the politics and write more about Comic books and superheroes.
Yeah, if I turn this weekly I think I will try to keep the focus lighter than this one. Too much ranting is bad for the heart.
