The problem with anger

You know the problem with anger? After it is gone it takes all your energy with it. The curse of being an angry man I guess.

Heroes

I know I went off the other day on the Senate and the Republicans the other day. As I write this I am watching last night's Daily Show. If you can go out and watch it. Jon sits down with four men who are dying...DYING...due to 9/11. They talked about a guy who died of face cancer. FACE CANCER! I've never even heard of face cancer. The guy had his nose fall of. His nose fell off and he recently passed on and these jerks can't work through the week before Christmas because its disrespectful to the families.

I haven't heard Glenn Beck talk about this. I haven't heard Bill O'Reilly rage on this. It's just Jon Stewart in the media making the noise. Where is Keith Olberman or Rachael Maddow? I honestly wish I was a real broadcast journalist because I would not be quiet about this. If I had any real outlet I would gladly get fired for this. If anyone deserved to be treated with respect and given something its these people. These heroes.

No yelling this time. No screaming this time. No swearing. This has gone from that yelling type outrage to the boiling white hot anger that I rarely have...if I've ever had. Each and ever member of the Senate should be impeached. Each and every one of them.

I am seriously going to send a letter to each and every member of the Senate and tell them how I fell. I encourage my singles and singles of readers to do the same. While I know it won't have any affect, it is all I can think to do. If I could I would give my insurance to any one of those heroes. If I could I give them the blood in my veins. I would give just about anything I have to these heroes because the people did what very few people would do.

I don't believe in God or miracles but during this holiday season I hope there is one and those in charge pull their heads out and realize what is important. If you do believe God say a pray for those who are seriously suffering for their heroism.

Its rare that I get this serious but I hope all of you who read this understand that this isn't a usual blog for me. This is something I have never felt more serious about. It disgusts me beyond believe that we are doing this and...well for the first time in my life...in all seriousness....I am ashamed of my country. The greatest country in the world and we should all be ashamed.

Cross Rhodes book review

Tuesday pro wrestler Dustin "Goldust" Rhodes released his auto biography 'Cross Rhodes'.

Anyone who watched the WWF during the mid 90's into what is called the Attitude era of Stone Cold and The Rock know Dustin's alter ego Goldust. Goldust has had several versions of his character. He started off as the very effeminate movie quoting character. Then came the Artist Formerly Known as Goldust who would dress up in weird outfits including bondage outfits with the late Luna Vachon. Then you had his stuttering gimmick after being electrocuted. No matter which version you know a 6'4" blonde painted gold like an Oscar is hard not to notice.

The book takes you on a very quick tour of his career but it is more about his life outside the squared circle. In it he talks about his on again off again relationship with his famous father pro wrestler Dusty Rhodes. He talks about his ex-wife Terri.

That isn't what was most interesting in my opinion. It was his open honest talk about his demons, alcohol and pain pills. He talks about hiding the pills and the booze. He talks about spiking his mountain dew with vodka. He talks about how his life went down hill.

Overall it isn't as good Mick Foley's books or Bret's (which would have been extremely hard since those are the measuring sticks) but it is a quick read. I personally would have liked to have more backstage stories about the wrestling itself but I don't think that is what Dustin was going for. This was about getting the story out. He doesn't use the line but it I got the idea that it wasn't about getting knocked down it was that Dustin kept getting up each time.

It took me around 2 hours to read this book. There were several quotes in the book that I wish I had wrote down. Dustin made you feel his pain without smacking you across the face with it.

I was a fan of Dustin/Goldust as the wrestler going back to his first's back in 1990 with the WWF. I actually remember Ted DiBiase beating him up and outlasting Ted's 10 minute challenge. Then his run as the Natural. One of my favorite matches is still Dustin taking on Vader on a Clash of the Champions. Now however I'm a fan of Dustin Runnels, the man behind the paint.

I hope Dustin is happy and I hope his latest set back, a shoulder injury that resulted in surgery, is just that a set back. Goldust is still one of the best in the ring and I would love to see one last run for the Golden One. One way or another as he said all those years ago...."You'll never....ever....for get the name of..." *long inhale* "Of Goldust."

Oh and as always go here to buy it from BN.com or here to buy it from amazon. The website will also give a little back to the best wrestling web site on the net pwinsider.com

A brief zombie story

After my ranting the other day I thought I would do something else today. A brief funny (or so I'm told) story. Saturday night I slept like crap. The power went out and I can't sleep in silence. When it was morning I wasn't in the mood to go into work but it was that time. I walked out and there she was. Standing across the parking lot behind the other building. She was just standing there looking at the ground. Not moving an inch. Just standing there. My first thought was....it has started. I stood there watching her for a few seconds and I was waiting for her to look up and moan. But here is what the folks at work thought was funny. My next thought, while waiting for the moan, was that she was just one, I can take one. When the moan didn't come I started walking and I saw she was just watching her rat dog take a shit. I thought to myself...I need to let up on the zombie stuff. Of course by the time I got to work I was deciding which zombie book I would be reading next. That night I heard someone/thing dragging something down the steps. I got up and made sure my door was locked and looked around for a weapon. I saw the steel chairs against the wall and I thought, that will take out one. I might be losing it but damn it I'll be prepared when the war goes down. Also...I'm not sure if that lady wasn't a zombie. She didn't move the entire time and that was fricking weird!

Friends don't let friends blog pissed the fuck off

You know something, I am fucking pissed off today so watch out. Don't read this if you don't want to read a bunch of swearing.

First off let me say a big FUCK YOU to the Republicans. You mother fuckers won't vote on health care in for the responders of 9/11 because you MIGHT NOT get your fucking tax cut. FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING DICKCHUGGERS! These men and women are dying because they were willing to go and try and save strangers. These men and women did something I didn't and probably wouldn't do to be completely honest. These men and women, legal and illegal, FUCKING DIED trying to do what was right and now you fucking mother fuckers won't even give them health care. FUCK YOU! Each and everyone of you should be ashamed. You know what is wrong with this fucking country assholes like you. People who are only worried about yourselves. You're too worried that you will have to pay more money in taxes...WHICH IS JUST FUCKING PAYING YOURSELVES YOU FUCKING RETARDS. I swear to god if I could I would personally like to fucking tell each and everyone one of you to fuck off, in person, and then slap each and everyone one of you shit fucks. I can't believe I can even get upset about this. This isn't about immigration. This isn't about net-neutrality. This is about true real life heroes. FUCK YOU!

You know who is next? Democrats. FUCK YOU! Fuck you for allowing this. Call these assholes out. Go out in EVERY fucking possible place and say what these fuckers are going. Go to the 'FAIR AND BALANCE' Fox News. If they don't let you on then tell the world that. They say you are wrong prove them wrong. How can anyone tell you that this bill is a bad thing. Also...if any fucker put some other rider into the bill they should be kicked out and honestly tried for treason against this country. FUCK YOU!

Next is the supposed war on Xmas...oh Christmas. That is total fucking bullshit. Now I don't give a shit about Christmas to be honest. I have no kids so its really just another day for me. But really this is just more Fox News bullshit. They aren't going to allow green and red in the classroom. They changed the name from Christmas parade to holiday parade. Well if you shitfucks didn't know there are other holidays in December. I know that is hard to believe but there is you dickbags. Only fucks like Fox News believe this. I see Christmas EVERYWHERE I look so where is this war? The only war fought worse than this is the war on drugs.

I feel better now. Enjoy!

The Walking Dead Finale

I just watched the Walking Dead Finale and it was AWESOME! I can not express how amazing the show has been. In six episodes it has done what most shows can't do in six seasons, make you care. Spoilers below.....




When Andrea decides to stay behind when the CDC building is going up my heart broke even though I know I would have done the same thing. When you see the defeat in her eyes and hear it in her voice its awesome.

When I'm at work and I recommend World War Z this is what I'm talking about. The human nature. This show isn't about the zombies, its about human survival. The drive to survive that human's have that other creatures don't. Well some humans. I don't know if all of them do.



Its an awesome show and an awesome thought. It makes you think about life. What I like is that the show makes you think but doesn't slap you in the face with it. You don't know your thinking about things till bam you are. AWESOME!

If you haven't seen them find them. Hulu them, call friends with DVR's, steal them, do something to find this show. Its worth it. I can't believe I have to wait till NEXT Halloween for the next 13 shows!

Wait....didn't Cartman figure out a way to freeze his fat ass? Yes I think he did....hmmm...it just might work....no I think the then ended up in some horrible 70's TV show. Damn it! I guess I'll suffer. Atleast I have Dexter...for another week....and then Doctor Who...for an episode.

People Choice Awards

How is it that Doctor Who, Eureka, Haven and The Walking Dead (Maybe too late in the year for the last one) are NOT on favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy show but Vampire Dairies and True Blood are. Really? Not even Stargate. Really? I guess I'll vote for Scifi is dead if Dairies and TB are what the fans think of when they think Sci-Fi. FUCK YOU PEOPLES CHOICE! Oh and Always Sunny not nominated for comedies but Glee and 2 and 1/2 Men are makes me fucking sick to!

Honestly I skipped most things because I would rather be shot then vote for the asshats they had listed. Matt Smith not listed for favorite Doctor...BULLSHIT...oh and Smith sucks as the Doctor! In all seriousness most thing sucked. If these list represent what people like anymore I don't want to be considered a person. I really don't.

The one tough list was the new TV Drama list as several shows on that list are really good. Detroit 187, Law and Order LA and Hawaii Five-0 are all really good shows this year.

Overall if that is the entertainment of the year its no wonder I have only seen two movies since February and that was only because I was in SLC not because I was like I have to see that movie....well maybe Predators....but probably not...although it was a really fun movie.

So to the PCA...FUCK YOU for leaving Doctor Who off everything. FUCK YOU for leaving Eureka and Haven off. Most important though...FUCK YOU for leaving Psych off your lists. Dexter only gets on your obsession list....Fuck You.

Overall I hope shit like Lady Gaga, True Blood, Glee and Robert Pattinson (fuck two of those no talented dick chuggers from Twilight are listed as favorite male movie actor. Really?) win all the awards to prove to me that the general public has not taste at all. PROVE IT TO ME BITCHES PROVE IT TO ME!

Random Things

Okay here is another blog full of me just throwing out a bunch of random ideas out there.

First off I received an email today full of things that will be happening soon. Let me respond to a few of these.

1. The post office going out of business. I don't see this. The government has stepped in and saved several business that would damage the economy and the death of the PO would do that. I like an idea I heard somewhere of stepping back to 5 days a week, eliminating Saturday's. I don't see them letting it die.

2. The Newspaper, as we know it, will POSSIBLY die. You have to remember there are still people who don't use the internet. The older folks still read the paper. I get asked atleast once a week if we sell papers. They still sell them at McDonald's. Could we see papers go from a daily to a bi-weekly or every other day type thing yes. Will we see papers with a bigger presence on the net? Yes. The death of papers...not yet...but it is on life support.

3. Books. I hear this EVERYDAY at work and it drives me insane. I've seen fellow booksellers say it online. Books ARE NOT going anywhere. Books are not like CD's or the VCR. I want to hit people when they say asinine things like this. Are there other options out there for readers like NOOK or Kindle? Of course. That is a GOOD thing. Since I've got my NOOK I actually read MORE than before. I honestly think people aren't looking a the big picture. We need our youngest generation to read. In a world with video games and entertainment on demand you have to do something to get the younglings to read. Now books are more interactive and will help keep the 10 second attention span. Books will continue. Will you perhaps have to do a little more ordering instead of just walking into a store and buying one....maybe...in ten years...but right now you don't have to worry about so stop being fucking dumbasses.

4. Land Lines phones aren't going anywhere as businesses will still want them. I don't see places like Wal-Mart or Target going to a bank of cell phones that people will walk out with anytime soon. Again use your head dumbshits.

5. This one is even more asinine then the books! Music will go away. Really? Something that has been around since the beginning of man will go away. Damn people are fucking stupid. Now if they meant the music industry haven't we been hearing this shit for years. Since Napster (which will allow me to give yet another big fuck you to Metallica for suing me despite getting your one fucking good song from a friend which you said was okay you fucking dickshit assholes) I've heard that music was dying. Blah blah blah blah blah. Artist still put out music and always will.

6. The last one on the list that bugged me was Television. Again this email made it sound like television was dying. No the way we the public get our television and entertainment in general has changed. Less people are watching on their actually TV when the show is shown live. Less people are tuning into entertainment TV when it shown. Less people are watching Chuck on Monday nights. They are now waiting for HULU or streaming Netflixs or using torrents or waiting for the DVD. They are still watching the shows just not in 'real time'. Why was Futurama and Family Guy brought back from the dead? Because people bought the shit ton of DVD's because people liked the show. Why did Firefly get a movie? Because the DVD's sold even if NO ONE watched the TV show when it was on.

Overall this shit pisses me off because they are dumbass statements....well the Post Office and newspaper one was more a stupid statement. I am in no way bashing my friend who sent this, I love Big John, but it drove me batshit. There was more to the email that I can't even go into as I could have a heart attack.

Okay enough of that lets look at other things.

The Walking Dead continues to be one of the best shows around. While nothing this week touched the end of last week it was still good and makes me wish I had AMC to see Sunday night instead of Monday afternoon but I can't wait. My mind has gone in several different directions as to why the CDC dude wanted them to leave instead of letting them in.

This season of Dexter might be the best season yet. Julia Stiles as an addition has been great addition and who would have thought the star of Hackers Jonny Lee Miller was as good as he is. I think he is an extremely underrated actor.

Over the next couple of weeks you are going to see more movie reviews as I have a ton of movies to watch that I don't think a lot of people have watched. I did it for Mindhunters a few weeks back and soon I'll do one for Big Fan starring Patton Oswald who is also extremely underrated.

With that being said I could also be gone for the next couple of weeks. I have some major things (my Road to Damascus if you have followed my blog/facebook) happening in the near future. Things are going to be very interesting but if you believe in symbolism in dreams I am ready for it.

Lastly lets talk about Christmas Music...and my hatred for it. Yesterday they started it at work. Not even December and there is fucking Christmas music playing in the store. Without control over the music (we only have shitty musak or however you spell it) and the ability to play the Muppets once a day I might snap and kill people.

I think I'll end with that. I am off to watch me some Torchwood in the absence of new Doctor Who...which returns on Christmas Day....YAY!
