Where I talk about Just some cool links and rants.

     This week has been shit for blogging from me. Between bad weather taking me off the computer and being sick I'm about to call it for the week. Next week we return to the regular blogging schedule. Until then check out some of these cool link I briefly talk about below.
      
 CHECK OUT THESE LINKS:
     I can't wait for the new Sandman story. I constantly reread those books all the time. CCI VIDEO: Gaiman, Vertigo Announce New "Sandman" Miniseries - Comic Book Resources and CCI: Neil Gaiman Returns to "The Sandman" - Comic Book Resources
     And another of my favorite books series will have new stories coming out. CCI: Terry Moore Announces New "SiP" Story and All-Ages Comic Project - Comic Book Resources
     InterestingThe Facebook Cortex
     John Green plays FIFA and speaks wisdom: Our Economic Futures:The Miracle of Swindon Town #142 and How to Do Difficult Things: The Miracle of Swindon #143 and Google Autofill - Is It OK To...?: The Miracle of Swindon Town #144
     SciShow looks at being outside the bounds of normal weather and there's mentions of bog mummies that's pretty messed up.This Is What Climate Change Feels Like and tackles a controversial subject that really shouldn't be but we are getting stupider as a nation A Brief History of Birth Control and Even though the only thing I'm worse at than spelling is math I can admire genius Alan Turing: Great Minds
     A new episode of my favorite comic book review series. Comic Book Reviews - FFFIC #53
     Felicia Day does The Flog from Comic Con. The Flog @ Comic Con 2012!

     Every artist of any form should watch this. They Became What They Beheld: Medium, Message, Youtubery
     More John Green and this time he talks about Hitler and Sex!
     Kevin Smith is my hero. SMarchive #12: Criticism vs. Creation


RANTS:
     Cam Newton charging for autographs at signing sessions? Good to see he is using some of that Florida training he got. This guy is a super athlete but another case of a great athlete getting bad advice on what he's doing. I mean, he should have gotten his father to sale the autographs. I understand people out of the sport or in need of money doing this but come on Cam.
     When people ask me if the criticism that comes from self-publishing is worth it to me. My answer is this. When I was younger it probably wouldn't have been so but now, I'm older, closer to death and when you are closer to your death than your birth you really develope an attutuide of fuck you if someone has a problem that goes beyond just look at the art and commenting.
     I love how as a nation we are following along blindly as people within and outside our government push and get away with taking us back decades when it comes to food safety and work place safety all in the sheep gaze of being told that this helps companies. Help business? Yeah it helps business. So does owning slaves but we so far aren't asking if that should return. Yet. Give some of these people time. These government suits and wealthy asswipes are taking advantage of people in despite situations and they pull away mining safety regulations, push forward short sighted work place laws, and we are just following their words like a Teddy Speak And Spell. How The House Farm Bill Guts Important Food Safety Protections
     Yeah, all that stuff about government spending. Yeah. Yeah. **cough**  Seven Tea Party Freshmen Spent More Than $100,000 In Taxpayer Money On Personal Cars
     I like how the religious guys have to go to insults instead of intelligent discussion. Furious religious establishment figures decry Life of Brian and John Cleese, who parries them masterfully - Boing Boing and more here.
     The Youth Nazi's march on. Boy Scouts Of America Doubles Down On Discrimination

THE TITLE IS: ARROWS, PILLS, AND BEER

I finally got around to reading Green Arrow: Quiver by Kevin Smith and Phil Hester on check out form the library. I enjoyed it greatly and those his other comic work has mostly centered on... well, missed deadlines but also on individual characters such as Daredevil and Spiderman I think he could be very good on a team book. I say put him on something like the Titans and let him go and you have a hit on your hand.

I actually got some quality writing done over the weekend. One short story is living on the computer and growing, currently it is at the age of 6000+ words and this is the teenage years as it swims in self-hate, confused sexual pratices, and being afraid of some of the realities of life- especially what others are capable of doing to each other. I also started another short story over the weekend which is just a baby on six peices of looseleaf paper at the moment trying to find the right place to breast feed and the right place to take its first real steps. Now I need to find places to try and home these stories as submissions. That will take some research considering one of them is not like anything I have written before and the other is much the same but in differenting different ways.

Got to spend some time with the Queen as myself, Wave, and her did lunch today at SONIC and BooksAMillion. And your right Queen, we do need to visit the beach all of us at once but I do refuse to wear a two peice.

As I wrote this I was watching MASH from my own collection and downing some PM's with a beer.

AND IT WAS THAT DAY WHEN GOD SAID, fuck no!

The weekend was great and draining. The first weekend were I was actually able to spend a good amount of time with Wave. Usually on weekends it is me working and on the rare accusation I am not she has to work but neither of us had to work this one.

WARNING: Writing without using Word so there be lots of them there chances of spelling errors within this here thingee!

I will probably write a more detailed blog tonight and a review of the concert but right now here is my weekend in a nut shell.

-Great sex Friday night,
-Ran around 6 hours looking for someone to cash my check because I am between banks at the moment. Very long story, may become a rant later tonight,
-Waited in line with hundreds of Goths and punks for the concert in a area full of rejects from boy bands videos,
-Waited through two alright opening bands and a lot of local jerkoffs who did not know how to have a good time at a concert without getting all upset about getting bumped into a little bit,
-Enjoyed AFI and their encore of covering Ziggy Stardust as the rain came down,
-Drove home to spend a very tired night snuggled up to Wave in bed,
-Woke up too tired for more sex,
-Went to Best Buy to visit The Queen,
-Ate at Friday's,
-Went to see Catch & Release at the movies. We had not gone to the movies in a long time. May write a review about this later also. The best part of the movie though was Kevin Smith. If you like the Night With Kevin Smith DVD you will get enjoyment out of this movie,
-Then home worn out but not too tired for more great sex,
-Sleepless night on both of our parts to Wave having to wake extra early to take me to work because the garage never picked up on my truck on Friday. May see a rant about this later too if they do not have a good reason for this.

So from the east you may see a storm front of rants coming in later with mild falls of reviews and a long shot of anything but me talking about work really happening.
