Wait for it! Wait for it! WAIT FOR IT! oh... thought he would show another emotion....nope

While watching the badassness of Kurt Russell destroy yet another city as Snake Plissken, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about other action movies I have seen recently.
Con Air was one such movie, brilliant flick, but what made it good? Nicolas Cage!

He is a really cool dude, but when it comes to acting... well, lets just say we should be thankful he is always cast in the same manner. Out with it.... HE IS ALWAYS THE SAME CHARACTER!!!!!!

Don't believe me? Look at it yourself. His emotions, facial expressions, everything about him never changes. He is not the only actor to be this way but sometimes they aren't as lucky as Nicolas, they get cast in roles that require character variation. An example being casting a Jedi Knight to Samuel L. Jackson... I mean... Honestly!

But back to my point, look at some of Nic's roles, and tell me that you do not find the characters a little similar:
Santa:
Dolly Parton:
The Pope:
Barack Obama:

THC Ministry

This has to be the coolest church on this green green (blue) planet. (Besides this one!)  I really think this website can speak for itself. Very interesting and educational!
THC Ministry

I also think it would be cool if one of my friends became ordained by this church so that they could one day marry me!



*I also would like to state that I have never smoked any kind of cannabis in my life. I just don't think it should be illegal!

Total and Complete Brain Flatulence.

I am at a loss of what to write.
I never thought that my brain would actually shut down.
Perhaps I have just fizzled out, but I'm pretty sure it has more to do with this old fart I've been debating with on Facebook.
What started as something seemingly obvious as whether or not human-beings should be treated as such.

Simple right?

Why must rednecks crusade against something at least once every generation?
-"Gotta keep them slaves where they are!"
-"Gotta keep them micks out of the workplace!"
-"Gotta keep them *racial slur not of my race* out of our schools!"
-"Gotta keep them *racial slur not of my race* from voting!"
-"Gotta keep them *racial slur not of my race* from holding office!
-"Gotta keep them women from voting!"
-"Gotta keep them women in the kitchen!"
- etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

One would think after losing so god-damn many times they would give up, but my hat is off to their resilience.

Eventually they will lose the crusade against the "faggots" and have to move on to the next minority.
But really who is next? They really have nowhere to go after this, that's why I think they want to hang on to this for all they can get.

But I thought of a good stress reliever, GIMP!




I feel better :)

So please don't ask me how I ended up at my wit's end

I can now be found on Twitter.

*Gets on the proverbial soapbox*

The ignorance that pervades on WBOC 16's Facebook page is absolutely astounding. Really, homosexuality, a mental disorder? I'm pretty sure that this lady must have a mental disorder...delusional schizophrenia perhaps? Anyways. I believe everyone should have the right to marry; I think it's super lame that people use the Bible as a means to spew hate; I hate how backwards this nation is. It's socially acceptable to hate homosexual people...which is not right!

Anyways, so according to this old guy with no teeth, I am a "LIBERAL SEX ANY WAY YOU WANT IT FREAK" (the capslock is all him. I called him out on it but he said it was emphasis on his drama...) because I support the right of everyone to get married, which is cool because I love sex a lot. The Bible isn't law in this country, thank [insert random deity here]. Anyway, old man with no teeth told me that [his] God wouldn't call my name at judgment and all Old Testament laws are still in effect. To that I say, why would anyone want to be a part of a religion where you hate everyone who is not like you? He also claims that I am perverting the Holy system...only marriage is a social and legal institution...

Additionally, the argument that samesex couples shouldn't marry because they can't conceive. So, hetero-couples who remain childless aren't really married, no?

Finally, old man with no teeth writes "TO ALL YOU "YES-ERS" OUT THERE: "Inventions" are supposed to be accounted for & by the U.S. Patent office in Wash. D.C. ! That is "EXACTLY" what you're saying when you exclaim: We Have GAY Rights! You're INVENTING something that never was accepted as the norm before ! You are missing North by 180 degrees! Next thing you will be inventing is that ... See MoreGOD suddenly changed his mind and now APPROVES of IDOL WORSHIPPING ! And it is now OK to do so because (I'm GAY) and "I" Say So! --WHOOEY--!! You're just FULL of your sickness and wharped and creative minds! Go ahead and pervert your sexuality--- just don't "TREAD" on long settled standards (Stare Decisis) and DEMAND EQUALITY when we that are sane know right from wrong and try hard not to practice wrong-doing don't want to be forced to accept your premisses!! How dare you invoke a Holy Richeous Loving Heavenly Father & his Dear SON into perversion and expect them or any other sane person to sanction it ! STARE DECISIS -- Take the time to look it up and read it's LATIN LEGAL MEANING !! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INFRINGE ON A HOLY ACTCREATED BY GOD IN THE FIRST PLACE ! And that's how I feel about it folks !! I already you GAY people have got your hands and pockets full of ROCKS and just can't wait to throw and re-load till your fingers drop off----"

When obviously he is the one who has his hands full of rocks (probably cocaine...dude has all teeth except front, obvi crackhead) ready to throw at anyone who disagrees with him. Maybe if he read the Bible less and went to school more his post would at least be readable. Gay marriage is not an invention. The great thing about America is that we can change. Slavery used to be the norm, it's not anymore so...

*Steps off the proverbial soapbox*

Next week looks promising! Tattoo on Thursday, Alice in Wonderland at Midnight, then MCHC for the weekend with some of my best friends. Life is good when you're a genius.

Will they give anyone a license?

I was driving down the street when I see a man driving.
Usually that seems like normal business, but this man was hell bent on not being a normal driver. You see, he was driving his brand new Mercedes with not one but two medium size dogs between him and the wheel!

The talent of this man is astounding! I had to take a picture:


But I guess this brings me to the whole point of this blog. Will they give anybody a license? Shouldn't there be some sort of IQ test to make sure this kind of dumb shit is not allowed on the road ways? Sooo... here it is... just going to come out and say it...

People dumb enough to take pictures of others while driving should not be allowed to have access to the roads!

Why would they honestly give me this thing!
I can't be trusted, and I very well may kill you all.
And most of you I would feel temporary remorse for.
So please help raise awareness that people like me are out there, and none of you are safe.
You'll just be driving along then BAMMMMMMMM!!!!!! you're money's missing and you're daughters knocked up! I've seen it a hundred times!

WAIT! that's not me, that's the guarantee fairy, but it's kinda like that, except your daughter's just not really my type.

Helping a friend or Shameless promotion of a friend's website?

I was commissioned to GIMP an image as a logo picture for my friend's site.

http://www.hugsfordinosaurs.com/

I made two images, both of which I like but I'm not sure which is the better. I need some help.

So here's how this works. I show, you vote. Simple huh.

Contestant number one, weighing in at... um... probably a lot,
Boy and his Velociraptor


Next, weighing in at probably significantly more than the other,
Fratboy T-rex


There you have it. let the voting commence!

Banjos, Fiddles, and an accordion...no, I'm not talking about a "lost hiker" movie, I'm talkin' 'bout Flogging Molly!

Last night was one of the greatest nights of my life, all thanks to a friend of mine: William "Greatest guy in the effin world" Hastings III, better known simply as Trey.

I went to go see Flogging Molly with my mocha-flavored eye candy, Shaina. All around it was a great night (injuries and all). Let's take a look at the lead up.

First on stage was The Architects, not a bad band, not the greatest, but they had a good sound. They are worth checking out but here is a short list of my problems with them.
- Bassist looked like Mr. Bean and acted like a manikin who was prone to seizures
- Guitarist seemed to be trying too hard to appear cool
- The mics were turned down way too low
- All the songs seemed to have the same bridge and finish
- Too many of "their" guitar solos sounded a little too familiar for a band I'd never heard of, if you get my drift

Next up was a guy named Frank Turner. Even though his music pretty much blew like the big bad wolf, I must give credit where credit is due. Dude has ginormous step-children. That could probably use some clearing up. What I mean is his balls were huge, there he stands a openly British man attempting to sing songs to a crowd of pre-gamed angry Irishmen. A sold out bar full of them to be exact. But his immense bravery cannot make up for the fact that I just really wanted his set to end.
There was one hilarious moment that is worth mentioning.
Frank asked the crowd (over deafening silence): "Do we have any Brits here tonight?"
A lone "WOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" rings out from the middle of the crowd.
Then, and here's where it gets funny, the muffled thud of a man being punched in the gut and falling to the ground. The balconies erupt with drunken laughter and then "Ole Ole Ole Ole OOOlee OOOlee"
Brought a tear to me eye

Even the setting of the stage gave me a total wetty. I don't know exactly what did it but it was somewhere between the Banjo tuning and the accordion soundcheck... but never mind that.

My only problem with the set was they were only there for two hours. I could have stood there all night, and contemplated actually contemplated trying, but some of the bouncers were pretty big. Nothing much to really say other than go see Flogging Molly, I did not make a request, just do it, ya bastards!

On an actually related side note: I no longer have Social Distortion stuck in my head, but now I have Tobacco Island by Flogging Molly stuck in there and it really is making me hate the British even more by the second.
