I hope this guy doesn't get mad at me for linking to his blog

I ran across this new comic related blog. it seems nice (it just started out so we how long it can keep up being good) but I was reading thread on another site (the V hive) about how he is angery about another blog (women in comics) linking to him.

I would tell people to check it out but fear the net rage I would get.

wii the funs coming...maybe?

The news is out the Wii will cost $250 (pk it's 249.99 to keep it just under that promised less then 250.) Which means I lost in all those guess the wii's price pools. I was guessing it would have been a bit over $50 cheaper.

But it does come with a game. something that hasn't happend in a long time with the release of new gaming consoles. The game? Wii sports.

Out of control:

Last Wednesday ABC aired a news documentary on AIDS in the Black community.

Blackaids.org says this was the first national TV program (I guess they mean on broadcast TV, since there have been some on cable stations aimed at African Americans) on AIDS epidemic in African Americans.

Which would have been a good thing except as I watched I couldn't shake the feeling that this was just a new area wave around old stereotypes about Blacks. And in this cause that is of Black being over sexed animals.

I'm not sure where they got there information. But some of the stats they gave seemed really high. I'm not talking about the affection rate among African American I already know that high. It was things like when they talked about high much more Blacks are sexually active. I forget the number ( I want to say they said 14 times more) but it seem really high. It just make it seem that Black do nothing but have sex. Ok so as I type this I'm in the middle of an orgy...But that is not the point.

beside that it was the same old same old about the raise of AIDS among Black woman that if you watched, read, listen to any thing else that talked about AIDS among the African American community you would know.

I think the report (and many others that I've seen) focuses on African American women as it demonize Black men.

I think there may be a little to much focus on the Downlow. Because if the HIV rates among Black women are so high and the cause of the down low is (as these reports seem to say) the main cause then that means either

a) Every other Black man is really gay or bisexual and hiding it

or

b) Most Black women for really like gay/bisexual men

which is a bit hard to believe, but if most (60% primetime said) of the new causes are Black women then at least b is true or primetime's stats are a bit off.

of course if the numbers are so high for Black women then I would like to see them for Black men. It can't be 40% because there are other groups of people that still get AIDS/HIV

I think this was a long enough rant I may come back on it later though

Just voted



I Voted... Did You?

I just got in from voting. For those who didn't do so yet you still have half an hour or more depending on the time zone your in as you read this (assuming your reading this when it was posted)

It was a nice day so I walked to the polling place but ran into a friend of my brother's when I was half way there and ended up with a ride.

Before I got into the polling place to vote I was hammered with people trying to get me vote for them or candidate. I ran into a guy I knew when I was a kid (yet he didn't hand me anything think fully) and some guy trying to get on as a write on.

Which brings to a big question. Why is this guy running as a write in? It doesn't seem to hard to run in a local election. Not to expensive.

Also the guy had no info about himself. He just handed a flyer with his name asking you to write it end. He had nothing stating where he stands on any issue. In fact this has been a problem with most of the people I've seen running. They'll give you a post card asking for you to vote for them but none of them say what they would (at least like/try to) do when they will get into office. I only saw two people with websites.

Dear people running in local elections give the people so F'ing info about you.


as I walked back home I ended up giving a crackhead a heart attack because she thought I was a cop.

well that's my 2006 primary voting story. What's yours?

art and famly history going to the trash

I'm a bit bummed right now. Today I was cleaning out my grandmother's house with my uncle and cousin. Doing so we ran into a bunch of paintings my grandfather did, sadly they were moldy and so wet that you picked them up many of them tore away.

It was really sad having to trow away some nice paintings.

There are still a few left does anyone know if there is a way to save them?

I think the reason I'm so sad about it is that I never got a chance to know my grandfather. He did a few weeks before I was even born. His art was on of the few things I really got to know about the guy.

man the the chappelle show sucked last night

I'm willing to put money on the ideal that the real reason Dave Chappelle quit was because he smart enough to know when to jump ship.

I can also see why comedy central waited so long to air them. Let the bad press fall on Dave Chappelle so they look like the good guys. If they aired the shows early people wouldn't go on and on about how Dave Chappelle went crazy but instead how bad the show turned up in it's third season. One of these the network can profit more from.

take the money and run...just take the money and run man.


I guess I'll keep watching to see if this season get's better.

Paper, Rock, Scissors

People most be really running out of ideals for things to put on TV because last night A&E showed a Paper, Rock, Scissors tournament.

And all I can say was that it was comedy gold.

Mainly due to this being way to over produced and people thinking things to seriously. Oh and it's freaking rock paper scissors on TV.

The show had it all corny host who you can tell are just thinking "were did my career go, so bad that I'm hosting a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament?" taking breaks between rounds to have some guy give out strategies playing rock, paper, scissors (really do people tips on playing rock paper scissors?)

But what really put this over the top was when they had a lady (on of the players) talk about how playing rock, paper, scissors saved her when she was a kid. See she was going down the run path and life and was a teenage run away. And one night here and her friends only made enough cash from panhandle to buy one meal from McDonald's. So they played rock, paper, scissors to see who eats and it seems that she won and show she ate and her friends starved to death or something. All I have to say was wow they couldn't have split the burger.

Sorry rock, paper, scissors fans, but all though I think the ideal that there is a rock, paper, scissors tournament is a silly ideal that I think is fine that is around but rock, paper, scissors doesn't make good TV. Though it might make a nice internet video.

Oh and in case you where wondering the winner recieved $50,000 plus they had a side battle where some on won a car. To that all I have to say is if you can get cash for playing sign me up.

carjack or adventures in the hood

Last night was crazy. My mother's got stolen right in front of her house.

My little brother it seems show them pulling out of the drive way and so he ran out of the house chasing them.

I went out looking for my brother. Maybe I had a chance of catching him chasing but honestly I was more worried that this fool would have gotten hurt because of his stupid Superman complex.

I had no ideal which way he went, I was about to go left but heard a dog barking in the distance to the right so I went that way. Thinking maybe it was barking because it heard/saw a guy chasing a car.

I couldn't find him, so I head back home. Where I saw my brother walking out side (it seems I should have gone with my first split second hunch)

He said that he saw four guys with a the car and wanted to go back out and get them. I told him that it wasn't a good ideal because they could be armed. His only reply was "If they had a gun I would have been shot already" since he was still ready to go I pointed out that they out number us and he doesn't even have a weapon.

So he headed back into the house and went in the kitchen to get I guess get a knife (sidenote why get a knife when you have a sword and some daggers in your room?) I was able to talk him down abit.

My brother then told us what happened as he ran after the car thieves. He said he saw car pull up to a truck on the street adjusted to us. Like he said early there was four guys. My brother yelled out to the thieves "hey that's our car" where one of the guys replied "I don't know nothing about that" and hoped into the truck and drove off. Then the car went off, he went after the car again. Which seemed to have gone throw out the neighbor hood. My brother headed home when he lost them.

Shortly after my brother told us what happened the police came since they had most of the info my mother and brother went give the police the details.

a minute after the police left my brother's fiancee came. We told the story again. And then mostly everyone stood/sat around the living room. My brother chest seemed to be bothering him due to all the running he did.

It was mostly quite until someone said something funny which broke the still mood ever one was in.

Since my brother mentioned that the guys seemed young (maybe in high school) my mother thought it maybe on of the kids in the neighborhood that goes to the school she works at.

After some time we decided to go out to see if we can find the car on the streets. So we drove around the neighborhood. But didn't find the car. Though we did see a truck that my brother said look like the one he saw.

After that we went home but decide to turn around and look again but saw a car just parked out side with it's lights on so we where worried maybe it the car thieves returning (maybe to break into the house). So they picked me to check the house.

sadly I forgot that you have to open my mom's door a certain way sometimes or it wont open. So I was stuck outside as they drove of again looking for the car. I hanged around out side afraid that someone would see me and call the police thinking I was trying to break into the house. Lucky this didn't happened. I went out back to see about a bush that was growing to close the the house that I was going to cut down some time ago. But it was to dark to see where I should and shouldn't cut (it's by some wires so I want to be careful).

a half hour later they came back and said they ran in to my brother's fiancee's brother and they went around the city checking out place they knew that stolen cars show up.

They didn't find the car.

That pretty much the end of the story, we talked out side for a while but nothing worth talking about hear.

some of those silly test

You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer

Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from.
And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi.
Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics...
Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world!

yet another racist middle age guy in the media

This time Bill O'reilly shows his ugly true colors.

On his show he has said things "there is a movement in this country to wipe out 'white privilege." and "According to the lefty zealots, the white Christians who hold power must be swept out by a new multicultural tide, a rainbow coalition, if you will."

Hell F'ing ya we want to wipe out white privilege why should someone get the upper hand just because they are white. It's long time that America is controlled by all Americans and not just one group.

I'm not sure if I should be glad these roaches are showing their true selves for all to see or scared that they have a platform like Fox News to speak out on.

Attack of the middle age racist on the boob tube

So I was watching Keith Olbermann on MSNBC where the host was talking to a guy (I didn’t catch his name or what he does) about Bush’s speech last night. Mainly they where talking about bush’s ideal of sending people to guard the American-Mexican broader.

Olbermann mentioned that a number of people in the reserve happen to be either decedents of illegal immigrants or they themselves may have been illegal immigrants in which it could be an interesting situation. And I’m sure that maybe an issue for a few.

But then Keith Olbermann guest states that it can be a problem because many of the people who will take the job would be those who are either unemployed or under-employed and that would be mostly Blacks and Latinos. This kind of perked my interested because I wonder why he thought it could be a problem, ok like I said maybe a problem for a some Latinos but not all of them and what would be the problem with African American? Then the guy turned around and said at least they aren’t going to be armed.

What the hell! Why is this guy so scared about of a bunch of Blacks and Latinos with guns. What does it matter the ethnic group of those who take the job, they are going to do same thing no matter their race. Should someone tell that guy the numbers of Blacks and Latinos working in fields that would give them access to arms such the military or police? Plus those that use there right to bare arms. I bet he would faint at the ideal that we would all them up and have a race war.

This just tops the fact that last week a guy on Fox News talking about people should go out and make babies because if they (YT) don’t America will be mostly minorities in 25 years. I’m having flashbacks of idiots screaming “we’re losing the country”…shutter.

Because of these two idiots I ask all minorities out there to go out and buys some guns and make some babies. And the White people that want to help out should find a any minority and make babies with them.

GUNS AND WHITE WOMEN FOR EVERYONE!!!

PS3 price giving Wii still in the dark

So the PS3 is going to cost about $500 to $600 depending on if you want a 20 Gig or 60 gig hard drive for your system.

But Nintendo is still keeping there price a secret only saying that there system is going to "more fun for less". I'm begining to think it's time for the big N to show it's hand on this one but I guess I can understand waiting (why give sony or microsoft the change to cut their prices below yours).

I do think the new xbox and playstation is over double what I would like to pay for a game system but I'm cheapass.

Sound controller

So it seems the Wii (Nintendo up coming game system formally know as the revolution) is going to have a speaker in the controller.

I guess I can see this adding a small level of detail to help make you like your in the game

La lata algunos me contesta porqué teniendo la estrella spangled la bandera en Espanola un problema tan grande

I had my last post translated to Spanish (via Babelfish)

Toda la semana pasada derecha era llena de hablar de la gente (y muchas que eran upset)about la estrella spangled la bandera que era traducida en español. Puesto que los muchos de gente se parecen estar trastornados sobre ella yo tienen que preguntar porqué está un reparto grande. Ahora se parece a mucha gente está actuando como el "Oh ningún es himno de la nación se ha traducido a una diversa lengua, él es el extremo de América." ¿Sé alguna gente dicen que los inmigrantes debe aprender inglés, pero cómo es ésta que lo para forma que aprende hablar inglés? La verdad es él no , en hecho usted podría utilizar el himno traducido y ayudar a utilizarlo para enseñar inglés.
