The 5th of July

Today is the 5th of July, the day after the big party. America seems to be all about this day...is the number one comedy in america about a party? No, is the answer. The number one comedy in America is about the day after an extremely wild party. That made me think about what the founding fathers did the day after July 4th. I wonder if they all remembered what they had done the day after. I was thinking they probably all woke up from their opium and ale induced haze, looked around (in my imagination George Washington woke up first). He had a look around the stateroom, rubbed his eyes and put his teeth back in. He probably tried to rouse his compatriots and fellow rabble-rousers and get them to help him clean up the mess.

George: "Jefferson....Jeferson!...TOM!!!"

Thomas: "*snort* Whohuhwhatwhereamihotblackchicks!?"

George: "Get up and help me clean."

Thomas: Looking around, "Holy smokes, what happened to this place?...Oh fer pete sake Ben, put some freakin' pants on, would yah! No one wants to see that!"

Ben: "I know plenty of people who would pay GOOD MONEY to see my oh Jove I'm gonna barf"

I imagine it went something like that. They probably started cleaning up an Ben found a piece of parchment and started cleaning up random stains on the floor with it when he recognized some writing on it. Upon further inspection he probably figured it might be important and turned to the others who were cleaning...

Ben: :" Hey guys! Is this one of yous guys's...uh...parchmenty thingy?"

George: while looking it over " huh, looks likes Jefferson's handwriting."

Tom: from across the room "What does it smell like?"

George and Ben: "What?"

Tom: "If it smells like puke it's a copy..."

George: "What are you talking about?"

Tom: "That declaration thing we made last night, John Witherspoon puked on the thirteen copies I made last night after he ate all those nachos Ben bet him he couldn't eat"

George: "No, what declaration thing?"

Tom: "You guys don't remember? We were all 'boo, england sucks' and we wrote that thing and mailed it off that was all 'Hey, king guy, you blow get off our backs' and all that stuff..."

George: "Well, NOW were screwed..."

Ben: "I think I gotta puke again."

We all know how that turned out.

happy 5th of July...."Dude, where's my Horse?"

HAPPY FATHERS DAY, OPTIMUS PRIME!!!

Yesterday was the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It was also fathers day... coincidence? I think not. I think the Sun, who probably is a father, wanted to hang out long enough to check out all the car shows and BBQ cookouts in church parking lots before he set.

I was thinking about fathers recently. I thought about the one I have, the one HE had, the one I am and the one my wife never really had. Her biological father disappeared not long after her birth and she was mostly raised by her grandmother. Her grandfather always was and is still around today but he was only ever present physically. He was apparently some kind of hippie in the '60's and I don't think the rest of him made it out in one cohesive, cognizant piece. My father was 5 years old when the '60's started, a little young to be taking any serious drug induced stands against the man, but I like to think if he was, say, 15 when the '60's stared he would have been one of those non-conformists "square" types. You know, the hip kind Huey Lewis sings about. I have a theory that,because of my wife's lack of real fatherly or even male influence in her life, she perhaps in some sub-conscience way chose one for herself one fine saturday morning of her early childhood. I am talking, of course, of everyones favorite alien Peterbilt with the power to turn into a 40 ft humanoid battle robot, Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots as they wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of...THE DECEPTICONS! I hope to someday understand my wife's love of this awesome cartoon robot. It's something more than just an old cartoon and toy she used to like. It really is something special that she has with the guy. I plan to investigate further at a later date.

In the show, Optimus is a trusted and loved leader, a wise soul and a constant friend who is willing to give anything to keep those under his care safe. He also has two orange swords that he can call forth from his forearms to use while engaged in battle with his sworn enemy, Megatron.

What more could you want in a father.

Seriously, next time Im going to talk about urinals... for realsies.

peace

And away we go...

Hello Children,

I had been planning to start a blog for a while now and, like most things in life, you can't plan these things, you just have to do 'em. I had some idea of what I wanted to kick this whole thing off with but, like most things in life, you can't plan these things, you just have to do 'em. What I'm trying to say is that I really have no idea what I'm doing and probably have no business doing it in the first place, but, I'm going to do it anyway.

I received a "tweet" earlier today from Screen and Comic Book writer Geoff Johns. I should explain to those unfamiliar with Twitter that he did not contact me directly, but in fact sent this information out to the whole world via the internet. ANYWHOS... He was asking if anyone had played the new Ghostbusters video game (available on all platforms) and if they would recommend he purchase it for himself. There then followed a small mudslides worth of responses most of which were positive, my favorite being that Viggo the Carpathian was in the game. It was my favorite because I too enjoy myself some Viggo, scourge of Carpathia, sorrow of Moldavia. On a mountain of skulls, in a castle of pain, he sat on a throne of blood... ring any bells? My wife then, without me saying anything, put our copy of Ghostbusters into the Play Station 2 we use as a dvd player.

This got me thinking about the second film (the one with Viggo) and THAT got me thinking about a geeky pod-cast I listened to recently during which they lambasted the film as "stupid" and "bad". Sadly these were the best adjectives used in their review. I am a geek (see fact 2) and I love that movie! does that make me a geek amongst geeks? I wouldn't mind. The fact that I love Ghostbusters 2 made me think of all the hate that is daily strewn about this big beautiful internet of ours. People who use the internet simply to mock, lambast, chortle at, and make fun of other people, ideas, movies and other intellectual properties should be fined as polluters. I mean come on guys, there is only one mother internet, and she is the only one we got. Lets treat her right and not spew so many hateful ideas out there.

Now, everyone is entitled to there opinion and I am no one to say otherwise, but maybe you should think about why you are so angry. Are you young and misunderstood? do we "just not get you, man"? Is there something we who have more open hearts and minds and intellects can do for you to make you happier?

Listen, I know GB2 is a silly movie...I know it's a bit corny...I KNOW that animating the statue of liberty with psychic pink goo to dance through the streets of New York is hard to believe... but why not just try to enjoy it?

Something else I heard earlier today was a review of the movie Star Trek, which I just saw. I also very VERY much enjoyed this movie, and surprisingly so did my wife. The review I heard today was good overall, but one of the reviewers who was a Trekkie had a problem. Because of the events in the movie he believed that the writers had completely wiped out the original series and destroyed all past continuity in the favor of this new movie franchise. He was so passionate about it that it seemed as if he was acting like all previous Star Trek Films, TV Shows, novels and any-other medium it existed in was actually physically destroyed and could now never be enjoyed by anyone ever. And that is no reason to hate a

movie.

In closing, come on guys... chill... because it is only when you truly chill, that you begin living...

I think I'll talk about urinals next time.

peace
