I love it when the biggest and freshest face in Hollywood jumps in front of a camera and tells me who I should vote for. As if their celebrity status trumps the values me mum and dad instilled in me when I was a wee tot. Thank you Oprah but I don’t care if you could buy a small country with the money you have I will only vote for Obama if his beliefs and agenda align only to my own. Ladies and gentlemen, please, I implore you, please vote for the candidate in November 2008 that you want to vote for. Don’t vote for a candidate simply because Oprah, Barbara (Streisand), Ted (Nugent) or even Pat Sajak, tell you to. Vote for the candidate (republican, democrat, green, independant) you think will do the best job for our children, grand children and so on. That is the gift our Founding Fathers gave to us.
What a find!
I like to think that I’ve got a nice little comic book collection going. Most of it is recent stuff because I can’t afford the old expensive issues. I came across this great story over at newsarama.com where an old couple, cleaning out their attic, found a copy of Detective Comics #27! For those of my readers not wise in the ways of the fanboy, DC #27 is the first appearance of Batman in a comic book. In mint condition (of which there are none known) the skrilla this puppy could pull in is about 500 g’s (that $500,000.00). *sigh* — what I could do with that money (more comic books anyone?). Anyway, it’s a great story and I can only hope to have it happen to me one day.

Captain America Dead at 66

I’m a poet and didn’t even think I was one. Wait, that’s not how it goes…
I stumbled across an old book of poems I had written in high school and I thought I’d share one with you. It is rather macabre so you are forewarned. I’ve placed the background info for the poem at the bottom of this post so if you’re interested you know what to do. Remember, I own the copyright (especially if you think it’s good!). I encourage you to read this out loud. As with some free verse poems, pause after every line and read s-l-o-w-l-y (it adds effect). Let me know what you think and I’ll maybe post some more!

To you, what is grace?
I’m interested to hear what people think of such a word. I’ve been reading Philip Yancey’s book What’s So Amazing About Grace? on and off for the past several months– gotta get that school work done *wink wink*– and with the recent response to the Amish schoolhouse murders in Lancaster County, PA, I wonder what people really think of this word? What are the potential implications of changing it from a noun to a verb? Would you be able to do that? It seems as if I do get some traffic here but hardly anyone wants to leave me messages. I’d love to hear from you so please post your response and hopefully we can start a discussion…fReD
Sleep; but in my bed.
We didn’t go to the mountains this weekend as we had hoped (maybe this weekend?). Saturday was icky, cold and drizzly all day. Sunday was awesome and we should have gone but no one was really feeling well. Too bad. Well, I did get caught up on some reading. We’re reading King Lear in class now. That doode’s crazy (well, so is everyone else I guess). Thanks for stopping by and I hope to have some more stuff up here soon.
One more thing, I caught the new NBC show Heroes on tv last night. I thought it was really slow going at first. I understand the need for character development but in a season that normally lasts like 22 – 24 episodes did it need to take that long? It really got good at the end and I think I might like this series. I don’t like how all of the heroes are majorly flawed. They tried to make the people seem too everyman-like. Peter Parker (Spider-Man) is an everyman but he was also someone to look up to… not a heroine addict or internet porn star as two of the Heroes were. Other than that I really liked it. I wonder if you saw it and what did you think? A couple of twists at the end, eh? Let me know!
Huh, I guess I did have something to say…
