Where I talk about my book The Past Forward, moving comic book stores, Ryan Reynolds, and a t-shirt issue.



     What shall I talk about today? .....


I think I'll just promote a past project. The Past Forward is my second book. Check it out, its free.


In this book for the most part you will find people saying things like: “I’m old enough to make my own underwear choices.” And “Can I kick your ass and it be ok if the ERA passes? I’m a supporter if you say yes.” And probably way too many pop culture references. Anything else on the high or low brow measure is highly due to delusions of grandeur on the part of the writer. 

$FREE YA ebook that is a jumping on point for my Tin Universe short story series. If interested in reading more of this universe you can start with Tin Universe #7. #7 is also free by the way and issues after that are only $0.99usd per download.



LINKS TO CHECK OUT:
     Our local comic shop Famous Faces And Funnies is teaming up with a local game store that was closing and moving locations to a even bigger space. I'm very happy for them as its a great store and hope this brings even bigger success to all involved.
     I'm all caught up on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries awaiting new episodes. I was  beginning to fall off from this series a bit but then it got me. Like I said before I love the acting in this series but now the story is moving.
     I didn't know the Guild Volume 2 TPB was out. I've been waiting for this collection that contains all of the one-shots. Might have to try and make a trip to the comic book shop this weekend. Time to dig the pennies out from Garfield's fur.
     I'm a fan of the SModimations and glade to see Kevin Smith is now branching out into a YouTube channel that includes more cartoons. SModCo Cartoon Show #1: "Schindler's Toybox" and doing Smorning Show And Tell #1: Hockey Stick and Jen Painting. I know some people have a problem with him but he and his team are building something. What are you building?
     People have been telling me about Legend Of Neil for a long time. I think I watched the first episode once because it shows up in my labels? Pretty fucked up opening. I like. Here's Episode 1 and Episode 2 in case you  might be interested in checking it out. Future episodes have Felicia Day I'm told so I'm going to be watching more.
     If you are local to me check out the next roller derby match up: Molly Rogers Vs. ACR Hunnies I haven't been in so long because every time they have a home match it when one of us has plans we can't change.
     Ryan Reynolds must be the biggest geek in Hollywood looking at his film choices but if he is cast in Highlander that would be worse than his casting in Green Lantern; which was pretty bad. I like Ryan Reynolds. He would  have made a good Flash and I really think he could pull off Deadpool but Green Lantern and Highlander is miscasting. I have so much respect for the people that cast films. They are one of the biggest unsung people behind films but these are mistakes.

RANTS AND SCREAMS:
     When I was doing laundry between rain falls yesterday in the complex laundry room a pregant lady keep staring at me. Just standing there. Without blinking. Staring. I asked her what? thinking did I know her or something? Then she told me she didn't like my shirt. I looked down, not even knowing what I was wearing, and it was my SAVE ROE! shirt. I told her, "Don't worry, no one wants to go after your parasite." She stomped off cursing me. That's like the fourth encounter I've had with someone here because of a shirt I was wearing. People really need to get over the fact that not everyone believes you way you do.
     I love it when Texas comes back to show Florida how being a racist dickish state is done. When a state is against critical thinking you know they are swimming in stupid. Texas GOP Platform Calls For Repealing Voting Rights Act Of 1965 and The 5 Craziest Policies In Texas Republicans’ 2012 Platform
     It's a white washing of the rape culture that does and always has existed within popular culture. This type of thing really pisses me off. And you want to know one of the reasons why, because some writers and artists just don't understand that they are pushing harmful stereotypes of women until they are educated to it and you can't be educated without information. Also another example of why Google's "Don't do evil" motto is about a accurate as a U.S. politican saying "I'm a honest man." TV Tropes Deletes Every Rape Trope; Geek Feminism Wiki steps in
     I would rant about this story talking about the new mini college football playoffs but its too early to get into even a rant about some a dip pile of corruption and bullshit. Maybe later I'll ad to this.

Where I talk about redistricting, voting, and licking.





     Sometimes I think laws in this country are enacted by three headed goats who only have the agenda of "I can do stupid" and also, "Look I can lick my own balls and it be his balls too."
     One such salty ball tasting lick is the fact that redistricting is allowed in election years. Now redistricting is a needed thing. It helps set government action into motion in a way that best serves the community as a whole but it has also been used since day one of redistricting to suppress voting, mislead citizens, and control the political structure.
     Redistricting has always been a little powerful tool to be used for racist and classist politics, and that's why !Holy Shit! why are they allowed to redistrict in a election year?
     I had a friend who just registered to vote for the first time in Florida earlier this year. He got his card. It told him where he needed to vote. A few months later he gets another card with different information.
     The confusion that can come from situations like that is on purpose. They know to the word what they are doing. They are hoping a lot of people end up not being able to vote on election day or are so frustrated that they don't vote.
     I got a card like that also. Within a election year my voting location changed. You might not think that sort of thing is much but that's why most of America is walking around like the sheep we are. We are just thinking like complete dipshits.
     In the past I voted a number of times absentee ballot because I was either in another state or country at the time of elections. I learned a lesson from that when it turned out a number of cases of absentee votes in Virginia didn't turn up until after the election. They were mainly from military citizens but who knows, mine could have been in there also. I learned this was something I needed as a citizen to watch out for. Something everyone should be doing but it seems just like myself it takes a personal attack on your voting rights for Americans to give a damn.
     I live in a state that is the current model and the front lines of voter purges. Florida you are always so not unchanging in your ability to head desk so many people by your fuckwank actions.
     I'll here end this with a little lesson on redistricting and voting suppression in general. Now I'm not a teacher or anything, I'm not even that bright, but I can do a Google search. I can read. I can use my eyes, ears, and brain to see what is going on and so unless you like the way voters are being suppressed and voting rights are being stripped then you should be educated to issues like how other states are taking Florida's lead, what gerrymandering is besides a strange word used on Fox News and MSNBC, here's a video about several voter issues, know your voter rights in your state, a report on voting rights in Indian Country, all of that "fraud" thats happening, and state felony voting laws. Those are just a few hairs on that ass of your of issues that you need to address. You son have a very hairy ass so there is a lot more we all need to take notice of and educate ourselves about.
     How about this. How about us as a nation care about voting rights. How about us as a nation have a backbone, because if we don't, how about us as a nation stop pretending we are a nation. In time those who are being suppressed will get angry enough to change things in different ways.

     I re-re-released a old poetry collection on Friday NEW EPISODE if anyone is interested. It's on the You Pick The Price! pricing method so it's free or if you enjoy it or anything else at my Smashwords store or like what I write here on the blog you can pay what you want for it.

     This webseries is slowly growing on me. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries My Parents: Opposingly Supportive - EP: 3
And I bought a few copies of THIS IS NOT A TEST by Courtney Summers to use for gifts Sunday at B&N. You should get yourself a copy. It's a great book. I gave it 5stars when I read the ARC I got through Netgalley and I'm not really much of a zombie fan.


Rants and screams:
     Don't fuck with Librarians period. I respect them a lot more than I do any other form of leadership in this fucked up unreasoning dumb fuck world. Don't Fire Gay Tenured Librarian! - The Petition Site
     Soon I think Google will hang a banner that says, "I loves some evil." I use Google a lot from blogger to Gmail to YouTube but have really been disappointed with them the past few years in their piracy of books and their blow jobbing the government against the people that made them what they are. ‘Alarming’ Increase in Google Censorship Requests
