WHAT THE ****?!?!

Okay, if it weren’t for 24, I would SO stop viewing Fox right now…

Drive Cancelled

WHY THE HECK DO YOU LET IT RUN TWO WEEKS, THEN CANCEL IT?! It’s hardly what I’d call a decent attempt to see how it runs!

  

The things some people do in the name of “Christianity”…

I stumbled across this whilst reading something on Mr. Rogers (And don’t ask me what took me that direction, because I honestly don’t remember…). Regardless, I remembered seeing them somewhere, and I looked into it more, and on Youtube stumbled across this little nugget.

There’s quite a few things in this world that are screwed up. Moral relativism is one of them. However, taking things to the other extreme (hyperlegalism) is equally screwed up.

As a Christian, I don’t agree with homosexuality as a lifestyle. Conversely to that, however, I also don’t go around bullying people, calling them names, etc. simply because they’re homosexual. We are commanded to love the sinner, but hate the sin. Marching around soldier’s funerals with “God hates Fags” and “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” isn’t exactly a Christ-like attitude.

The look in the eyes of this woman, I will say, I’ve seen one other place before: The videos of the Virginia Tech shooter. Hardly the picture of sane. Dead, lifeless eyes. And they claim to be the voice of God.

  

I never should’ve started on the Jack Thompson thing…

Another fun Jack Thompson video…

Here’s my amusement. Jack Thompson, talking about his crusade against violent gaming, says that in 1999, he said on TV that kids were training for school shootings on the game and movie Doom and that we’d soon be facing more shootings like Paducha. Then Columbine happened.

My problem (aside from the fact that Jack Thompson’s a jerk)?

Well, we could start with the fact that Doom had been out for 6 years at this point, and Jack Thompson was talking about its hyperrealizm. Yet, if you compare Doom to what was coming out in 1999, I don’t think “Hyper-realistic” is the words one would describe it with.

Unreal Tournament

If hyer-realism is what Jack Thompson’s so mad about, why didn’t he go after something a little more realistic, with semi-real looking gore spewing about and cheering taking place when you score a headshot?

Secondly, he mentioned the movie Doom. Doom, if you look into it, didn’t come out until 2005. I’m sure that Columbine’s perpetrators were watching that movie really closely, since it didn’t come out until 6 years after they died.

Jack Thompson, just stop talking. You’re embarassing yourself.

  

And whilst on the subject of movies…

I keep thinking, “They’ll slow down on the movie front next year, no way they’ll have as many cool movies next year.”

Well, I’m wrong.

Ocean’s 13 we already talked about, but, come on…


Spider-Man 3?


Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End?


Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer?


The Bourne Ultimatum?


Rush Hour 3?

Good lord, it’s going to be a long summer…

  

Ocean’s 13…

Okay, admittedly, I was skeptical about the idea of a third movie. One was owesome, two was great, but I figure, three? That’s pushing it, probably won’t be as funny as the first two. However, I just saw the full trailer on the official website, and suddenly, because of one line, I’m totally thrilled it’s coming out.

[Danny sniffles]
Rusty: Are you okay?
Danny: Yeah. [sniffles again] I just bit into a pepper.
[Background noise of clapping from the television]
Rusty: Is that… [Moving past Danny into the room] Are you watching Oprah?

Well, well, I’m not a gardening failure after all…

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I recently took to gardening. Well, sort of. I went to target and found little tiny potted plants for 1.00 apiece. Basically, it’s the seeds, and you grow them and transplant them into another pot. Well, I bought them, not expecting much out of it (I had my doubts that they’d even grow), but to my suprise, this morning (a week later), one of the plants is starting to show a little bit of green peeking out of the pot.

The only problem: Being an inexperienced gardener, I didn’t think to label the pots. So now I have something growing, I’m just not too sure what it is. I planted Strawberries (which I know it’s not, they have a different pot), Oregano, Basil, and Chives. My bet is the Basil, but we’ll see… The other two look like they’re getting ready to start sprouting, too. I might not be too bad at this gardening thing after all!

  

Birthday humor…

Seeing as it’s my birthday, a laugh for you!

The first time shooting, it took me forever to reload the gun. I couldn’t find the blasted “R” key!

If you know me, you know why I find this funny…

Clicky

I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time…

  

MSNBC gets ANOTHER gold star for the day…

MSNBC says Thompson, “wrong”

MSNBC has spent a lot of time on my bad side over the years, but now, I have a new favorite news channel.

Between Chris Matthews slapping Thompson down on hardball, to this now, I’m as giddy as a kid in a candy shop. Seriously, no media outlet’s ever taken this much time to denounce what Thompson does.

Thank you, MSNBC, may you beat the tar out of him in whatever lawsuit may follow…

  

Andrew on Politics…

All of the presidential candidates are getting myspace profiles. Why is that? Aren’t there enough 40-year-old men trolling for swingers on Myspace as it is?
