TITLED: IF IT WASN’T FOR TWELVE THERE WOULD BE NO 13

I have a 2:30 weekly meeting at the day job today and so I had to come in around 11 to make sure I got everything ready for it. Now lets just see if 1- they actually have the meeting and 2- if they even look at the reports I prepared for the meeting. I think in so many businesses they have too many meaningless meetings and factory work seems to really be into those sort of meetings big time.
Oh, and my boss is not here yet so who knows what is going on about the meeting as well as other things.

From work whining to responses to comments left:

Marlena,
I agree. I swear more times of late I have come across something said by our so called leaders and have wondered if they could have actually said that. I have been misquoted myself so you have to wonder. I think she has caught dumb ass syndrome from him. But you know what it is not a matter of being stupid the same as with Mr. President. These people simply think thinks go their way or nothing. Hey, I live in my own reality but at least I admit parts of it have nothing to do with truth.
And then I see things like the rape kit story and I’m just wondering if these type of stories are fake and nine times out of time they are real.

Geek Speak:

This week is pay week so I plan to order a couple of Doctor Who items. Right now I thinking this or this or thisor this….The this’s could go on forever because I want all WHO! Actually, not true. I’m not into the clocks and such merchandise. Though I would like to have a t-shirt. I have never had a Doctor Who t-shirt. But mainly I just buy the books, DVDs, audio dramas, comics, magazines, and other ways of story telling. Do a search on EBay or Amazon and you will get a small, small taste of how much stuff is out there. Which is a lot of shit. Believe me it’s a lot of crap, I have this huge canon guide I created to keep track of everything I have and do not have. I only have three bookshelves full of stuff right now. Maybe my badge should read-SUPER GEEK?

Back To Reality:

For someone reason this laptop will not let me open other programs while being on the net so I will have to send this to the other computer at the day job so I can add links and do a little web suffering to see if I find anything that peeks my interest. So just warning if I put something it seems like I stupidly forgot a link where there should be one, I probably did stupidly forget a link where there should have been one.

And In The News:

Climate Scientists Urge UN Action on Global Warming
At the United Nations, a group of leading scientists made a new appeal Tuesday for immediate action on global warming.
Democracy NOW!
Man if Florida gets any hotter I’m going to personally go and kick in some Hummer head lights.


Guantanamo trials on track for summer
The Bush administration argues the camp is needed to hold dangerous people who cannot be released even if they have not been convicted of any offense.
Guantanamo
If there is a chance you will commit the crime, you must do the time? Who the fuck are these people Magneto? The Master? Doctor Doom? They have some special powers that have to be contained. I mean we let rapist and murders out of jail every day????


'lesbian' koala’s come out
The INDEPENDENT
Isn’t love great! J Here is hope that one scratches out Pat Robertson’s eyes if he visit’s a zoo. Though he would probably call for a boycott of all good Christians to not visit such dens of sin. Hey, if Koala’s can do it I’m ready. Come to me Orlando Bloom…..

IT WAS GOING TO BE NOTHING AND IT TURNED ON ME

Not really much interested me in the news today or much of anything else. Currently reading stuff here. Peter David is a writer that some do not like because of his personal views. And his writing has been hit or miss for my personal taste at times. He came up thought when talking with a friend tonight online who said, “I can‘t read his writing, I just can‘t stand his views on politics.’…which just strikes me as stupid. Maybe I’m stupid, child like, or just plan off my kill-hole but hating someone’s work for their personal views just doesn’t make sense. I have lots of writers and artists whose books and movies sit on my bookshelves but I would no more invite them over for drinks in my home than call Dick Cheney up and say, ‘Hey, buddy. How does fish sticks and Budweiser sound to you? Great, come on over The Factor starts in a hour.’

I once said that to not be political in today’s environment is akin to suicide and I believe that but for followers of good storytelling and followers of the arts to start putting stamps on works just based on the creators personal views is to me like closing down a bookstore and not caring. If you hate a writers work. Fine, move on and find someone else you may like. But if you only hate or will not approach a book or story because the artist may seem too liberal or conservative then your not thinking with both sides of that thing sloshing around in liquid above your shoulders. I use mine from time to time, make a point to try it tomorrow. You may even find your ability to understand the rules of Wheel Of Fortune better.

And sort of along the same drained, washed along road side acid, pitched away thought pattern that I march to I hate when a writer clearly aims a fiction book politically one way or another. Yes, everything that makes up a writer life will make it in some way or another into his writing if he gets time to develop a good body of work. I just have never seen people as on the right or left, liberal or conservative and I think for a writer to plainly paint characters as being on one side or the other is truly a act of one dimensional writing and is lazy. And I maybe a hack but I’m not lazy in how I approach characters or stories.

Oh and no matter how much we like to paint those we hate as being one form of primordial life with legs. Looking at them as one wave length creatures. Its just not true. Ever. Demonizing is a failure of stupidity in the laziness of not being able to see the weakness falls, fear runs, animal leaps; evil natures that exist within all of us. Yes Hitler loved, Jesus probably did get down with at least one babe, and George W. Bush- Mr. President himself is not trying to get more people killed on purpose. Its fun to paint him like Doctor Doom in a bad suit but we all are human. The tragic and sad thing is that some of us wear blinders when it comes to living in the world with other people. He is one of those people. Doctor Doom he is not.

I lost my way from a thought to just post a website link of a writer I like for the day to a rant that lead on but lead nowhere….

Maybe that is because that is how I see the world going. Into the future but standing still while it does so little.
