 | 09:14 am - Sarah Palin: Awesome
I met Sarah at a book signing yesterday. She is so petite and pretty. I shook her hand and it disappeared in my gigantic viking hand. I had drawn a picture of her from a photo I took at a rally. I stuck it in the book thinking maybe she'd sign it too. I get up there and I'm so frazzled. I'm afraid I'll get in trouble for bringing something other than the book and they were trying to move the line along. It falls out there in her face and she's like, "Wow, did you do this?" I stammered a 'yes.' She loved it, said it was great and asked if she could keep it. I couldn't help but let her. Now she has a piece of my work! It was an amazing experience. God bless her, I hope she finds the respect and peace she and her family deserve.

| 11:18 am - Wow NBC, epic fail!
I used to watch a lot of NBC shows. At the moment, I can't recall any of them. It must be because NBC has turned into Nothing But Crap. With the exception of Chuck, which isn't on yet, though it should be, NBC has nothing to be proud of. And what do they do when their chips are down, they throw more Green Weak (spelling courtesy of the lovely Adam Baldwin over at BigHollywood) crap at us! GE, the administration's puppet, is using NBC like a cheap hooker. They're refusing to realize that people don't like the vile envirocrispy b.s. they're spewing. They just parrot whatever Algore and Obama say. Get a clue NBC, Obama's polls are way down, more and more people everyday realize that Algore is full of it, and no one really wanted Jay five nights a week in primetime. It should be more than enough to see that a show you canned is winning in ratings over at CBS. I'd be perfectly fine with Chuck moving too, just so I wouldn't have to see any more of NBC's weak attempts at grasping the elusive brass ring that is reality.

| 08:32 am - Twilight: Please Stop
Warning: Journal-owner Opinion Ahead
I've been a vampire fan for a while. I guess I'm strange, but I don't fall lockstep in with most vampire trends. I never liked Anne Rice. Her stuff was so laborious and not rewarding enough to warrant the trek. When Twilight came out, I avoided it because of the hype. When the hype died down a little, I decided I'd give it a try. Wow, that was a waste. Not only can this person not write to save her life, the story is so contrived and stereotypical. It's so sappy. There's more blood sugar than blood if you know what I mean.
Imagine my horror to find that Twilight has been credited with a sort of vampire 'awakening.' I guess I feel as if this surge in vampire fandom is somewhat... a slap in the face for classical vampire stories. The vamps in Twilight are so emotional, overly so. Not that there's anything wrong with a creature that used to be human being emotional, there's just something wrong with them being indiscriminately so. And Bella, she's one-dimensional. She's a study in what girls her age shouldn't be: 100% dependent on a 'dreamy guy' for their sense of self. The whole thing is an emotional train wreck, something little girls and childish adults everywhere can't seem to get enough of. I half expect the vamps in Twilight to have their bedrooms devoted to Miley Cyrus and Hello Kitty and pile up every week on the couch to sniffle at episodes of Desperate Housewives and Gray's Anatomy.
So, in tribute to icons like Bram Stoker and Béla Lugosi (who would both likely smile about the growth of vampire popularity, but only with indignantly clenched teeth), I say, "Twilight, thanks, but no thanks. My vampires don't sparkle."

 | 08:33 am - Supernatural Squee!
OMG!!!!! *squee* I just saw on the Supernatural 5x10 promo that Dean and Jo finally kiss! My worry (and probable outcome) is that she dies. I hope not. Dean and Jo are so OTP. Yes, I said that and yes, I lead a sad life. KTHXBYE!

 | 10:37 am - Fringe ≠ X-Files
Let me say first that I love Fringe. It's a great show. Walter is made of crazy awesome. But I do have to say that some of their storylines are starting to look very familiar... to semi-quote South Park, X-Files did it! Last weeks episode was like the episodes Space and Soft Light put together. The one airing tonight has hints of Pusher and Kitsunegari. I know it's hard to be original in the world of the unexplained, but some of them are just a little too blatant for me. Come on guys, do your homework and try not to be predictable. Of course, not everyone is as up on X-Files stuff as myself, though I've heard that Joshua Jackson is a big X-Files fan... so maybe he's behind this, as some kind of strange tribute.
Again, I love Fringe, I'm just saying.

| 10:37 am - Don't Keep Louisville Yarmuth!
I've noticed the news outlets making a tiny fuss about how John Yarmuth was the only Kentucky house member to vote for Pelosicare. I wonder, are they trying to brag or are they condemning him. I hope its the latter. John Yarmuth has got to go. I sincerely hope we can get someone in there who will be a little more sensible.
Oh and another thing... all this Recovery Act b.s. about fixing roads and creating jobs... yeah, that's crap. They've torn up roads around town that weren't bad to begin with only to create traffic problems. And here's the funny part. You know what happens when traffic doesn't flow well... higher emissions. Yeah B.O. Administration, you can't win for losing. You guys suck!

| 02:46 pm - Wake UP!!!
So yesterday morning, I posted about how uncomfortable I've become with the rise of Islam in this country and around the globe. Not, mind you, the peaceful Islamic folks, but the hell-bent-on-destruction ones. The ones who mercilessly kill family members for petty transgressions, the ones who strap bombs to women and children and shove them into marketplaces to blow everything to Allah's kingdom come. We all know by now what happened yesterday afternoon. My fear has not lessened, not by a long shot.
I'm sorry MSM, I'm sorry administration, that man committed an act of domestic terrorism. And also, I'm sorry his name wasn't Joe Bob Johnson from rural Arkansas. I'm sorry he wasn't busting in and shouting about how Jesus saves and Jesus is Lord. That would make it so much easier to condemn now wouldn't it? On top of the lesson of how we need to be hyper-vigilant at all times, we also need to wake the frak up about how unbalanced the world has become when it comes to telling the truth about religious fanaticism. Islam is not immune to scrutiny, I don't care what the PC dillholes try to tell me. I don't care how many people call me racist or say I'm discriminating. That... man... killed... innocent... Americans! He murdered brave service people and civilians, some, I'm sure, he didn't even know. And why? Well, the truth hurts America. He did it because this is more than just war, this is Holy war. Wake up or die, that's our choice. See the truth for what it is or suffer the mortal consequences. It's pretty darn hard to hold hands and sing Kumbaya when your dead!

| 10:32 am - You're Not Rocking This Kasbah!
Before a few years ago, I never saw a person in a head scarf. Now, I see one almost every day. I don't have a problem with people doing their own thing, this isn't what bothers me. What bothers me is that I feel as if Islam, by nature, is going to do everything in its power to make me assimilate. What I know of the religion shows me the breakneck devotion to conquer. It's frightening. And though I've been told that true Islam is peaceful, I hear only of things that refute that claim. I mean really, just the other day a man killed his daughter with a car because she became too 'westernized'... in this country! Sorry, but Sharia Law is scary shit.
Got a clue for you people, a number of Christian practices over the years have been deemed unlawful. When they are practiced, the perpetrators, no matter how devout, are treated as criminals. That's the way it is. If a religious person tries to perform an exorcism for instance, and the subject or anyone else is hurt, that person is charged with a crime. So guess what, if you 'honor kill' your child or spouse because of some strange transgression according to your religion, the laws of this country should find you guilty of murder, plain and simple. I am so sick of this "no one say anything to or agitate the Islamic folks, but do whatever you want to the stupid rube Christians" crap. My religious freedom should be respected and kept just as theirs is dammit!
Religion, no matter what kind you choose is your choice, not the choice of your most powerful male relative, not the choice of a religious leader you've never met. I'm trying to be objective here, but I can't help but feel threatened. If they want to live here and do what they want (within reason) on their own time, that's fine. But the second they try to force stuff on me, the way they've begun to do in Great Britain, I will go off. I'm not making them be Christian, they won't make me be Islam. KTHXBYE!

I will be gone for a few days. I have to take my mother for back surgery. I'm kind of nervous. If there's something you want me to see, post it in a reply and I'll check it out when I get back!

| 01:59 pm - Thoughts on 10/20/09
In this country and climate of hatred and blind conformity, it would be much simpler to jump on the bandwagon, but I can tell you, when I closed my eyes at night, my conscience wouldn't allow me to sleep. I suppose that's the difference between them and me, I have the patriotism, individuality, and morality to know when something is just plain wrong. I have the clarity and faith to see true kindness, true goodness, and the right amount of fear to see pure evil. I can only hope morality will win this epic and seductive battle.

Today is my fourth wedding anniversary! We're going to the zoo and just having a nice, relaxing day together.
Today is also Chris Carter's birthday and subsequently the birthday of his creation, Fox Mulder. Yeah, that is why I chose to get married on 10/13. Go ahead, laugh. LOL!

| 10:49 am - Nobel Pretense
For all of you who have failed to win something in the past, I say this: coming in second is okay because you're in good company. Irena Sendler and Gahndi didn't win a Nobel prize either. Congrats Barry O, you got a nifty prize in your cereal this morning. Bet it made a satisfying clink when it hit your bowl.
Here's to all of you tools who win something without deserving it at all.

Apple Fighting to Keep it's Logo Identity | Logo Design Blog
That looks nothing like Apple's logo. Sorry. Here is yet another reason Apple needs a good swift kick in their hipster pants. Their commercials are annoying, their crap is too expensive, and they are way too egotistical. Enough already.

| 04:28 pm - Dear Hollywood. . .
Hollywood, for the love of God, shut your mouth! The entertainment industry has become too politicized, something that will inevitably do more harm than good. A while ago, I saw a small news show interview with Kris Kristofferson. I know Kris, he's the man behind and beside a lot of iconic things and people. He was part of The Highwaymen with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. He wrote one of Janis Joplin's biggest hit songs. He's starred in a number of films. I've always been okay with Kris... until they had to bring up his politics. Though that topic wasn't specifically covered in the interview, the "journalist" tossed it in while he was chatting with other news folk after the piece aired. "He [Kris] described himself as 'left of liberal.'" The man said to the approving nods and awe of his news anchor friends. Now tell me something: how in the hell is that important? Why is it necessary these days to align absolutely everything with a political agenda? What happened to the days where films and TV just told good stories and kept their nose out of politics?

| 09:52 am - Disclaimer
Attention: To those of you who read, skim, visit, my journal, I am going to tell you now, this is my personal journal and I reserve the right to say what I wish to say. As of the moment, this is a free country and I have freedom of speech. If you wish to debate me on what I say, feel free to do so. But don't be dumb about it. Don't play childish games of prodding, name calling, or passive aggressiveness. It only makes you look foolish.
Also, I am a conservative. I have no problem being friendly with people who aren't of my same beliefs, so long as the debate stays civil. I am not uneducated or evil, I am not a right-wing extremist, terrorist, or Bible-thumping moron. And I really don't have the need to justify how I feel by trolling other journals or bad-mouthing those who disagree with me. I believe what I believe and that's the end of it. The only thing I wish to do is share my beliefs as my freedom allows. Above all, I value levelheadedness and logic, forethought and common sense. I only get riled up when people assume things about me or pick malicious fights. Don't do either, I will ban you.
Thank you so much for your understanding!

| 10:57 am - Bait and Bitch
We've all been guilty of it to an extent. We say things just to get at people, to start arguments, to prod. I admit, I've done it too, but I can't say I'm as bad about it as most liberals. They are the masters of "stirring the pot" so to speak. They also have an uncanny ability to "forget" what they say when they're called on it. It's like trying to argue with Pee-Wee Herman, "I know you are but what am I?"
I'm all for speaking your peace when you've got facts and logical arguments (note the bolded words) to back it up, but speaking just to incite an argument or just to nibble on someone's nerves, that's just lunacy. Why can't people just be calm, logical adults anymore. Geez, grow the heck up!
