Laziness is abound...

I've been terrible about updating and I apologize. I'll just through out some quick one-hitters and promise to update regularly again. For realzies.

• It's playoffs time. In a few hours the Broncos will be taking on the Steelers and the Panthers versus the Seahawks. I've got my money on Denver and Carolina.
• The Dark Tower comic series has been pushed back til 2007. King says he is too busy this year to spend intimate time writing the comic so I suppose I can forgive him. I'd hate for him to rush and publish shit, DT deserves better.
• A "review" of X3 is on the net. It is most likely a fake and lord do I hope so. I'm really hoping Ratner will pull this one off. Expect lots of ill-timed deaths and retarded out of character movie plots. Oh well.
  
• Ron Howard's daughter Dallas has been cast as the classic Gwen Stacy in Spider-man 3. Odd, casting a blonde Dunst to play red-head Mary Jane and red-head Howard to play a blonde Gwen. Hopefully, they will kill off MJ in this film. I'm so sick of that Snaggle-toothed retard butchering MJ's character.

Holding my tongue

"I have been trained by society to apologize, to pacify such people. To avoid trouble. And this irritates me."

This quote very nicely sums up what I've been thinking/feeling for a long time. I'm pretty sick and tired of the way the world teaches us to avoid confrontation. There is something very wrong with the idea that we feel the need to apologize for everything even when it isn't our fault. Now I'm not talking about being rude for the sake of being rude, just a little change in our mannerisms. With that said, the next person who steps on my foot is getting swift kick in the throat.

In other news: It is very cold outside. Walk the Line was a pretty decent movie. Undead was not. Can you hate someone without knowing them? The answer is yes. I hate Kevin Federline.

Body like a knife...

Once in a good while I find myself looking through my bookshelf in search of a good read. I have at least ten books on a list that are at a 'must read' level. I put off a lot of books because I hate reading in parts. I like to finish a novel in a day or two tops, not over the span of a month. Reading ten pages a day feels so damn worthless.

At any rate, I finally started the Phineas Poe trilogy: Kiss Me Judas, Penny Dreadful, and Hell's Half Acre. I'm currently in the middle of Penny Dreadful and I can't stop reading. Will Christopher Baer is a seriously mesmerizing author. His words flow to a point of near perfection and his books are not only extremely entertaining but wonderfully constructed and executed. It's a literary addiction. I can't seem to keep these damn books down. I should quit my job and just focus on reading WCB for the next few months.

The series starts off with an odd kick. Boy meets girl. Boy bangs girl. Girl steals kidney. And then the book gets crazy. Do yourselves a huge favor and just pick these up. Check Half.com or Amazon.com and get to reading. You will thank me later.

It's quite a view

The leaves have fallen, the summer has past and it's quite time we realized winter is here. Yet, in some awkward stronghold the sun has over the year, the temperature has decided not to drop. Not only is it nearing the middle of November but the dreadful Christmas is nearly upon us. We haven't received a first snowfall or had a chance to put on the gloves and matching hat or even pull out the winter coat.

And I am not complaining.

This is a wonderful and unfamiliar time of year. Normally I would be scraping ice off the windshield of my Honda or layering up for the cold days in the warehouse but instead I'm still wearing shorts. I can throw on a light jacket at night and run out the door without worrying of black ice and frostbite. I love this and I thought you would like to know.
