Friday and Freakangels

Freakangels is the branchild of the genius Warren Ellis and breathtakingly illustrated by Paul Duffield. It's a free weekly comic and it really, really, really kicks some serious ass. Check it out: www.freakangels.com

Welcome to Hoxford...

Ben Templesmith is an amazing artist. He really knows how to bring darkness out, making it OK to realy, really soak in the creepiness and gore while at the same time you turn your head to check that nobody is looking at you while you read...

When Will It All Stop?

My alma mater, Northern Illinois University is the latest statistic in America's growing trend of violence.

Innocent lives taken, but guns and ammunition are still able to be passed and bought so easily without disregard.

When will it all stop....sigh

Valentine's Day, A Commercial Success

I was once a pimpled faced teenager who took note about the value of Valentine's Day. Eager to please this girl in high school, I spent my hard earned monthly allowance on items that would surely melt a girl's heart before it decayed and wilted away itself.....

Millions if not billions of people on this auspicious non-holiday embrace it warmly as if needing another reason to express one's love for their significant other. What happened to the other 364 or 366 days that is not Valentine's Day? Why do we pay so much emphasis; that we MUST love and care of each other ONLY on this day?

You know who loves us, YOU? The florists, the restaurants that only serve set meals, the teddy bear makers, gift shops, card shops....the list is endless. And for one bloody day a year, governments all over the world allow these entrepreneurs to slit our throats for roses and chocolates.

I too am guilty for involving myself in this well orchestrated conspiracy by the world's florists and greeting card makers. But you can actually not be one of the herd, by taking the red pill, and waking up!!!

Love the person in your life! Tell them that you don't need one day of the year to express how you feel. You love them unconditionally 365/366 days a year and you're sure as hell don't need one special day for it. And if they throw a hissy fit and are not pleased that you didn’t do a godamn thing on Valentine's Day, DUMP EM and move on. SERIOUSLY dump them!

I urge you all who read this (4-5 of you, and hopefully more) to not partake in such folly and to instead make dinner, make paper flowers, or even give that special someone a great big hug, or even bake cookies for your sweetness, speaking of which don't get me started about Sweetest Day........

Keep looking, cause you'll never know where your frog prince or snow white may lurk...

I've always had this preconceived notion of love and relationships and about what it would be like to find that special person you could joke with, shoot the shit with, have a drink with...and so on. I can honestly say that it's not as easy as it looks, feels, and sounds. There are some weird, weird pill-popping-glue sniffing-emotional-scarred individuals out there and I've been a witness, victim, and target of some of these girls (guys for you girls reading).

All my pent up angst and disappointment did eventually fade when I met Serene. We'll be married soon and this blog entry is a homage if you will to her and to what is out there if we just have a little heart that somewhere, just somewhere, behind every bush, or sitting at the bar stool, or even in a train ride to work, your frog prince or snow white will eventually emerge.

So here's to Serene, a person with a heart of gold and kindness that overflows and knows no bounds, a person that puts others first before herself, an intellectual with an amazing mind, and a mean hand at gambling that puts Kenny Rogers to shame. I look forward to our future and life and hell of a ride! Oh yeah, she's FUCKING hot by the way!

The sixth member of the Simpsons...

7.27.2007 is a day for all...

A day when yellow invades movie screens and I get to drag my father with me (apart from Transformers). I'm dragging my lovely other half as well....she doesn't get Homer and does not care too much for the Simpson family, but that's wrong and inhumane, and damn right sacrilegious!

So join me come this great and auspicious day and think yellow! :)
