So, it’s two episodes into season four of True Blood, and I’m not too thrilled with it. I think part of it is because they’ve really strayed away from the books. They’ve done this in previous seasons, but everything here seems way out of left field.

The first thing that through me off were the Fairies. When they were introduced in the book, it was more believable. Maybe because we started out by seeing a few characters, and we had time to adjust to the idea of fairies playing a role in the story. In the tv show, they drop you into their world; and you’re just supposed to roll with it. This through a lot of people for a loop, especially the ones who have only watched the series. Some of them even find the idea of fairies a little ridiculous, and after seeing episode one; it’s hard to disagree with them.

Another thing I didn’t like was the jump in time. When Sookie finally gets back from fairy land, an entire year has gone by. I hate it when shows do stuff like this. As far as I’m concerned, time travel is nothing more than a cheap plot device to move things along; which is why I got so sick of Heroes, but I digress.

I was surprised to find out that Bill was the king of Louisiana. He’s not old enough, or powerful enough to be a king. He doesn’t have the experience, and I seriously doubt he’s up to the challenge of defending his territory from other vamps. I think it would have made more sense to make Eric the king, but that’s just me.

As for the coven, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about them. I’ll have to watch a few more episodes before I decide. The same goes for Arlene’s devil baby, Jessica/Hoyt, and the werepanthers.

I hope the season gets better from here. I’ve spent the last three years watching, and it would be a shame for it to go down hill.

While it’s true that Osama’s death is a major blow to Al-qita and other terrorist groups, it’s not going to be their downfall. Think about it. Do you really expect all these people to put down their guns, and wander off into the sunset? If that’s the case, then you are sadly mistaken. He had a lot of followers, and they’ll want revenge. The question is, how will they get it? I’m not saying it will happen today or tomorrow, but don’t think for one minute they won’t retaliate.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m grateful that Osama is out of the picture. Even so, someone is bound to take his place, and I think it’s important we’re prepared for that. We aren’t any safer than we were yesterday, and as much as I hate to say it; I don’t see that changing any time soon.

The article talks about women as if they’re bumbling idiots that can’t focus on a task for more than five minutes. Tv sitcoms make light of it now, but back then; this was how most men perceived women.

“There’s no longer any question whether transit companies should hire women for jobs formerly held by men. The draft and manpower shortage has settled that point. The important things now are to select the most efficient women available and how to use them to the best advantage. Here are eleven helpful tips on the subject from western properties” Translation: Because of the draft, there aren’t that many men around. As a result, we have no choice but to start hiring women.

Be sure to read the rest of the article. It is truly horrifying.

Despite my lack of enthusiasm for this holiday, I know there are a lot of people who are sad they don’t have that special someone to share it with. But does that matter? After all, this is a holiday that celebrates love. Instead of feeling sad for someone you don’t have in your life, be happy for the ones who already are.

Happy Valentine’s Day. I <3 you all.

I’ll admit that the idea of living forever is very appealing. I’d love to be around to see what the world might be like in 200 years or more. It would be interesting to see the advancements in technology and medicine. Perhaps there will come a time when I’ll be able to buy a condo on another planet.

Then again, the whole world could go to hell in a hand-basket; and I could be stuck watching civilization fall back into the Middle Ages. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not live through a period of plague, war, and witch hunts.

In all seriousness, my answer would have to be no. It sounds like a good idea, but eventually I think I’d get bored. With all that everlasting life to look forward too, I’d probably spend it traveling, and doing new things. After a while though, I’d get to a point where I’ve seen and done it all. What then? There’s also my family and friends to think about. Everlasting life would make it hard to have close relationships, when everyone you care about is going to die after a hundred years or less. The last thing I want is to be like one of those mopey emo vampires who cut themselves off from society. Being antisocial was never one of my strengths. Stephen King said it best. “Sometimes, death is better.”

After swallowing an iPhone that was dropped into the aquarium, the crocodile hasn’t eaten in four weeks. I’m not a vet, but common sense should tell you that if an animal has gone that long without eating; it’s not going to eat at all. I realize that removing the phone is a delicate process, but letting an animal suffer for this long is beyond cruel. They should have made an attempt to operate after the first week. Let’s face it. Cell phones were never meant to be digested. If for some reason the operation won’t work, then put the poor thing to sleep. Starvation is a nasty way to die.

Let’s not forget about the bacteria that’s been introduced into the crocodile’s body. If starvation doesn’t kill him, an infection almost certainly will.

I started blogging about six years ago, when I discovered LiveJournal. Before livejournal, I had no clue what a blog was. I was curious, so I decided to give it a try. I certainly didn’t expect anyone to read it. I figured it would just be another online thing that I would get bored with, and move on to something else. To my surprise, I started making a lot of friends, and I found that blogging was something I really enjoyed doing. Looking back on it now, its hard to believe there was a time when I didn’t blog.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who reads this blog. Take care, and have a great weekend.

Anyway, I just wanted to wish my readers a happy new year. To those of you who made new year’s resolutions, I wish you the best of luck. Not once have I ever followed through with any of my resolutions, so I quit making them. Hmm, I guess this means I’m consistent about not being consistent. Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

Well, I need to cut this short. My aunt and uncle are leaving in a few minutes, so I need to say goodbye. I’ll try to update again soon. Take care.

Basically, the British Government wants to pursue legislation that would allow them to create a giant firewall for porn. Of course, you’ll be able to bypass this if you’re an adult. That’s right. The government wants to spend who knows how much of the taxpayer’s money to create something that already exists in your web browser.

The censorship issue alone is a big red flag. First its porn, but what’s next? Certain news sites? How about blogs that criticize the government? It’s a slippery slope that I don’t think anyone wants to go down.

Here’s something else to think about. How dumb do you think your children are? If you can disable a firewall, what makes you think they cant? Your ten-year-old might not know how, but your sixteen-year-old definitely does.

I understand that parents don’t want their children looking at porn on the net, or anywhere else for that matter. That being said, the government is not responsible for raising your children and keeping track of their online activities. If you truly want to keep an eye on them, use the parental controls in your web browser. Limit how much time your children can spend on the internet, and always keep track of what sites they visit.
