Praise be to Journey (or I'm Back! For Good?)

Wow. It's been a little while since I've dipped into the world of blogging. Sure, I've been keeping up on the blogs of others such as Joey and Kirk (not to mention the much more famous Neil Gaiman and, slightly more famous than the previous pair, the Traveling Morans).

Much has happened in the couple of months since I've last checked in. Chief on that list of happenings is that I have sold my soul to Satan himself - in the form of Wal-Mart. Yes, that's right I'm one of the ASSOCIATES of Wal-Mart (Heavens forbid that they use any other degrading yet far more accurate term such as "Grunts" or "Sam's Bitchz"). Having signed my life over to the realm of Hades, I am eagerly awaiting a departure from said death camp. But hey...need the money for now. And I get a nice chunk of time to let my mind run wild (a lot of great things have been rolling around in my head - Fuman backstories, ideas for video games/stories/some art I want to mess around with...overall happy nuggets of creativity that should reach you, the reader, sometime in the near future. Prepare thyselves).

If I said the past few months have been great, I'd only be telling the somewhat truth. Things with Jen are great, I've been making money, and IUPUI stuff is going along...smoothly...and yet I've not been the happiest clam in the sea. All sorts of mental distress has been attacking relentlessly. AND they took Mission Hill off of Adult Swim. Bastards.

There are approximately 3,452,742 topics I could blog about. We've got that NEW mess in the mideast I could go on about. How about Lil' Kim and his shiny new weapons? OR I could go on and on and on about Rev. Bush and his veto on the stem cell research issue. Nah, you've got a ton of other blogs to read about that stuff. Here at the Kingdom of Fuman...We like to take things a little more simply. Well, most of the time...okay, fine We do have an opinion or two. To be honest, though, I'm not up to blogging about this particular set of events. All I'll say is North Korea>Iraq in terms of who's more threatening and who SHOULD have been the target if we just had to go to war. Hezbollah/Hizbollah and Isreal - don't know all the details, but is anybody really surprised that a destructive conflict has come out of that area? Bush and the stem cell research - stem cells are not little babies like they'd like you to believe. Sanctity of life? BULL! Someone defends a mass of stem cells and yet doesn't say a word about swatting a fly. Or how about sex in which the woman is not meant to be inseminated? Do we hold millions of micro funerals for the little guys? No, because they're not significant enough to be considered living beings at that point - stem cells aren't a far leap from that.

Hoo boy. Had to get a few things off of much chest. I know I've said this a million times, but I DO plan to get back in the blogging ring more often. A million tiny complaints have I that could be wonderfully crotchety blog posts - alas, I'll hold most of them within. Until they boil over and I snap and I'm known as that twitchy guy who works at Wal-Mart...well ONE of them, anyway. I do apologize for the lack of posting. I shall remedy it. In the meantime - go check out the trailer for TMNT (in HD at Apple if'n you want).

ARGH, that reminds me! Dead Man's Chest? Quite enjoyable. Good news on the comic movie front, too...Spidey 3 is looking good from what little I've seen. Seems the Hulk's getting a new director to clean up Ang Lee's mess. Next Batman looks good, though I'm not ecstatice about the villain choice (well, maybe I am. Don't want to spoil it for anybody, so I'll stop now). Ghost Rider...iffy, but we'll see. Iron Man, Fantastic Four 2 (yay for Fantasticar and Silver Surfer!), Wolverine, Magneto...the list goes on. What am I happiest about? What three upcoming movies am I so excited about that they deserve their own sentence? I speak of none other than the Flash, the Doom Patrol, and Deadman. Now get me a JLI movie and I can die happily.
