Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays....Now That Should Cover Everyone


Being Canadian, I look to the U.S. and can only come up with one comment. "WHAT THE FUCK!!!" How can these people live with themselves. This is suppose to be the a happy time of year yet all they do is fight over stupid terminology. To be fair it's not everyone; in fact it's not even the majority. The Christian right is being anti-everything and the liberal left is being way to PC. Is it so hard to say both. Simple fact is that not all of the world is Christian and many other religions have a holiday this time of year. One thing I should establish is how much I can't stand Bill O'Reilly from Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. He's a hate monger. He makes his money by getting on peoples nerves and promoting hate. His latest thing is his "War On Christmas". Of course this is bullshit. I have only one response I can give to this guy. "Happy Hanukkah asshole!" For everyone else I hope you have a good holiday no matter what you celebrate, be it Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or whatever. BTW, does anyone know what Pastafarians celebrate during December?

Only in America


I just have one thing to say. How the hell does a childrens book get written with a title like this? My god are Americans messed up! This is rediculous!

Investigation of Religious Group Needed

I've been surfing the interenet and came across some interesting things that are rather disturbing. There is a group called New Horizons Youth Ministries. This group claims to run boading schools and summer youth camps to help trouble teens however some accounts of what happens at these schools and camps are rather disturbing. Click here and here read a few of them. Most of it is from one person, Julia Scheeres and she is selling a book about it which makes question the legitimacy of it. I find issues with anyone making money of tragedy. However I have not found any acticles defending the New Horizons Youth Minitries of these accusations and I still find the issue disturbing. I truly beleive that a legitimate news source needs to look at this to find the truth. I realize that's not likely but I needed to state it. Why do we let this kinda of thing happen? They have a location in Canada and I do not want this kind of thing happening in my country.

A Video Game, An Animated Series, Advertising and A Really Stupid Conversation


Well it's been a while since my last post so I'm just going to get into somethings that have changed.

First I would like to point out that my Supergroup is still active in City of Heroes (although we still have no updates on the web page). Apparently there's a column in the Supergroup mode screen for "last on" that shows when each player has logged in last. I found many of the members have quit (including those running the web page) leaving the oldest player in the group to have played 22 days ago. As such I will be working on a new site for the Canadian Vigilance....just as soon as I get off my ass and do it....give me some time as I am the king of procrastination. What's great is that they have now permitted the maple leaf as a team symbol. Before you had to have some weird leaf ring or something. Also we now have a base (accessible only to players with both City of Heroes and City of Villains installed which I do have). I should mention that this game rocks, for any that have not played it. I personally being sick of the saturation of "fantasy" based games in the market find it extremely refreshing and the fact that you can play casually and still have fun is so much better than in other games where you are eclipsed in 2 days by fanatics and therefore can't play in many teams (go to the site and read about the Side Kick and Examplar modes....a kick ass idea). My villains are coming along slowly. My newest villains is a 1/2 wolf dude that I call Experiment K9. I love that fact that my villains and heroes are on the same server.

On other news Ctrl-Alt-Del (CAD) have make online comics history. They have achieve the ultimate goal. The have an animted series coming out in February. Surprisingly the animation looks smooth and I can't wait to here what Ezekiel, the X-Bot sounds like. To see the teaser trailer click here.

The Bloggicles are now showing up in Google. Hopefully this will help bring traffic my way (so far it's a good thing I don't do this for a living otherwise I'd be screwed). Also I've invested in a new enterprising advertising plan. I'm in on the ground floor of what will be one of the highest traffic pages online. Check out this ingenious idea at the Expensive Ads website (www.expensiveads.com)

As far as work goes I'm actively looking outside of my current place of employment to seek oportunity. It's not so much that I hate my job. Really that doesn't bother me too much. I just need to relocate from this city so that I can live closer to my family.....that I originally move away from because I was sick of them.....there's a fault in my logic somewhere.....regardless I must keep going.

Had an interesting conversation today about extremists. This conversation was definitely not PC and probably would have offended someone. I'm glad no one heard it. We discussed who would win if we put all of the extremists from all religions on a small island (think the size of the island in Cast Away) and gave them a few weapons. Which group would win. The groups that we were putting on the island were Muslim Extremists, Christian Extremists, Catholic Extremists and Jewish Extremist. We probably should have included Nazis and the KKK but technically they aren't a religion. Please note we are not talking about all Muslim and Christian and Catholic and Jewish people; just the extremists that make the world dangerous. The only reason we got into this stupid conversation though was because we were looking at a Christian website that reviewed the "morality" of popular films and TV shows. Some of the comments were good but too many were ritious and biased bullshit. We had a laugh. All of this lead me to one conclusion. I want to make a movie. A "B" movie that will offend everyone. I wanna have the opening of the movie start off with a message that says "This movie was intended to offend all viewers. For those of you not offended we appolize for omitting you and understand if you are offended by this omission." I love stupid and pointless humor. Oh well. I'm done ranting and raving. Chow for now and keep on blogging.
