Zombies don't count because they aren't mythical. You know he's out there. Things are worse than you thought. Be prepared... because these guys eat brains.

Looks like he ate somebody's pit bull.

I lost my father last September. This is my first father's day without him and its a very weird feeling. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, you spot the shark-fin of unresolved feelings. Toward the end of his life my father was profoundly disabled. He was partially paralyzed on his left side and could only walk short distances. It was difficult to see age and failing health strike a man who had always been so physical. His favorite Father's Day meal was at Outback Steak House. He was particularly fond of the Blooming Onion and always had a rib-eye. That was another thing about him. He was definitely a creature of habit. We were very different in this regard. I like the adventure of trying new things. He liked the certainty of what he knew. I'm glad that he's not suffering anymore but I miss him. Goodness knows that we had our issues over the years. I'm just glad that we had a chance to repair things and move forward.

You know Johnny Knoxville?

I call it the "paranoid generation". It started back in the eighties. People were told to be afraid; be very afraid. Be afraid of drugs. Be afraid of violence. Be afraid of perverts. Be afraid of terrorists. Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid. Now look at us. We've got kids walking around malls that look terrified that someone is going to snatch them on the spot. We've got parents so worked up that they home school their kids rather than expose them to some imagined danger. Sex crimes get more time than murder and we have so many prisons that its bankrupting us. WORST OF ALL, people are buying this steady diet of fear. They are voting for it. They are electing politicians that promise more jails, more cops, more police state and fewer civil liberties. I know why we've done it- we were told to be afraid and we were. That does not excuse it or the people of the country that bills itself land of the free, home of the brave. No. This will not do at all. We shouldn't have to live like this. It is only a matter of time. This will not stand. It all starts with one realization: I AM NOT AFRAID. I DO NOT SURRENDER MY RIGHTS OR REASON.

Online orgy!

Nephy has a point. If I saw a kid bleeding in the streets, I would call 911 but I wouldn't go near it. It's just too dangerous for anyone. I am sure that the climate of fear created by overzealous prosecutors and draconian sex laws has cost a lot of lives.

They were both raging alcoholics? Ok- in my opinion description is a necessity but I am a minimalist. Why waste a page describing something when a paragraph would do? Too many authors go overboard with descriptions. If you leave some of it up to the readers imagination, they will fill in the blanks better than you could.

Ordinarily I'm old school in such matters but an old school woman would never think of doing some of the things that women are doing today. I've seen women get aggressive and get in other peoples faces. If they are going to act that way, they should expect to be bitch-slapped.

That kicks ass Jan.

I'm gay. Why do so many strippers with gynormous hooters want to be my facebook friend?

I'm back. See my galley of photos!

Mississippi Wetlands A photo log of a trip into some of the most environmentally sensitive and endangered wetlands in the world.

Oh My God. Somebody noticed. *faints*

LMAO That's the high class fart jokes right???

I'm going to the coast tomorrow to do some research. The little town of Kreole, MS is just west of the Alabama line. It sits along Highway 90 and is close to hundreds of square miles of salt marshes, bayous and wetlands. Kreole plays a key part in one of my upcoming books- call it on the scene research. I'll be taking photographs, talking to locals, walking around and will be taking roads off into the bayous and wetlands. If you want to see where I'm going search for Kreole, Mississippi on either Google maps or Google Earth. I live for stuff like this. Those swamps and wetlands go on for miles until they become the Gulf. Not all of our coastlines are sandy beaches. Salt marshes are a key feature of the Gulf Coast from Texas to Alabama. They make great places to fish and hunt but you sure wouldn't want to live there. There actually is a rare breed that does live out there. They are usually shrimp boat operators. They live in houses built on stilts. Believe it or not, many of those houses survived Katrina unscathed because they were built to take it. The people that live out there are very self reliant. One old fellow wasn't seen or heard of for six weeks after Katrina and did just fine. I'll be going to Bayou Heron, Bayou Cumbest, Orange Grove Road and Old Stage Road. Some of these places are very old. Places originally inhabitated by the Spanish or the French (because the Indians knew better to live in the malaria and yellow fever infested swamps). Many of these places were built and then built over on successive occasions and generations. The only two old Spanish Forts still in any kind of shape are in Pascagoula and Mobile. There was no effort to preserve them elsewhere. They were built in walking (or riding) distance of each other in colonial times- all centered around New Orleans of course. Over the years these bayous have been the home of all sorts of shenanigans and skulduggery. Pirates used them to hide from warships in the early Caribbean. They have since become a haven for smugglers of rum from Cuba during Prohibition and later drugs from Columbia and farther South. These are places that it wouldn't occur to most people to explore. I love them. To me they are the very edge of the map where the roads end and the adventure begins.

Calvin & Hobbes FTW.

I remember being crazy about a guy that other people said was "all skin and bone and knobby knees". He was cute to me and that's what mattered.

God knows I love Science Fiction. I really do. I read the masters like Asimov, Clark, Gerrold, Heinlein and Herbert. I've got all the Star Wars, Star Trek movies and Babylon 5, Battlestar episodes on DVD. I've even tried writing some Science Fiction, not that I'm GREAT at it. I have seen science fiction as a force for good. It gets kids and adults excited about science and willing to learn. Millions of people pursued science and technology after being inspired by a short lived science fiction series in the sixties. What the SyFried Network is calling science fiction these days makes me want to vomit. I don't believe in ghosts, conspiracy theories or alien molestations. Horror is not science fiction. Dumbassed premises are not science fiction. Bad writing may be science fiction but its the sort you soon forget. Shall we look at a few SyFried Network originals? Tonight's Stonehenge Apocalypse is just another in a long line of stinking, reeking pieces of crap the SyFried Network has pawned off on us long suffering fans. They throw us horror, they throw us implausible bullshit scenarios and GAH *pukes in a trash can* All SyFried Network movies have the same plot. Bear with me here. I know making movies is hard and some standardization is necessary but the same plot for every one is a bit much. See if this rings a bell. There is a disgraced scientist. He's got a wacky theory/made a mistake or was politically f**ked over. He's working in fast food. There's a horrible crisis. The government sends General Numbnuts out and he thinks its a good idea to nuke every f**king thing in sight. Disgraced scientist rides in and saves the day with mere seconds on the clock despite being shot at by his own soldiers. How much harder would it be to TRY to do better? How much harder would it be to pretend to actually be inspired? Pretend for a moment that you aren't so condescending towards your audience that you are writing for morons. Pretend for a moment that what you are doing actually matters. People are watching. Kids are watching. You have a chance to inspire another generation, put them to sleep or make them change the channel. So what are you going to do? Continue assembly line bullshit or actually try to make something worth watching. There is a reason that people are changing the channel. It's not because they don't like science fiction. It is because you are writing and executing it so poorly. Hire me. I'll write a better script in a month than the whole f**king 10,000 blind monkies with typewriters shop that you currently employ. Just look at the drivel you are putting out. How could I possibly do any worse?

If you've ever seen my fist, you sure wouldn't want it there.

I disagree. The commander and the rookie were hanging from the highest possible cliff.

Blazing Saddles. OK how about this one: Well, sir, it would be good news, except that the eggs have hatched.

Return of the Living Dead Credibility of Palestinian medical sources questioned as teen allegedly shot dead by the IDF returns to his family alive only days later. Source Link (Honest Reporting) A March 30 report from the Palestinian Ma'an News Agency claimed that a Palestinian teen had been killed by the IDF, a charge subsequently denied by the IDF. According to the original Ma'an report: Muawiya Hassanein, director of ambulance and emergency services in Gaza, said Muhammad Zen Ismail Al-Farmawi, 15, was shot dead near the southeasterly border by Israeli forces, while local sources who wished to remain anonymous said the death may have been an internal matter. Hassanein said ambulances had been unable to retrieve the body because of ongoing clashes in the area, while an Israeli military spokesman said he had no knowledge of the incident. The story was picked up by a number of mainstream media outlets, including the BBC, New York Times, CNN and UPI. These outlets did, however, include the doubts over the information. The NY Times, for example stated that "it was unclear who was responsible for the death" and that there were "questions about whether he [the Palestinian teen] could have been the victim of internal violence." The AFP along with the Arab press, while including IDF denials, omitted the important information above squarely placing the emphasis on the IDF. In addition, the AFP's headline read: "Palestinian teen killed as Israelis fire on Gaza protests", leaving little doubt as to who was likely responsible for the death. Only a few days later, however, Ma'an reported: It turns out Al-Farmawi was among 17 Palestinians detained by Egyptian forces shortly after they infiltrated the Egyptian side of Rafah via one of Gaza's numerous underground smuggling tunnels. The detainees, among them 12 minors, were returned to security forces at the border on Friday. They had been questioned about tunnel locations, leading to at least three closures, Egyptian security sources said. Relatives expressed "overwhelming happiness" that their son was unharmed during the violence, our correspondent reported from Rafah. Muawiya Hassanein, Health Ministry director of ambulance and emergency services in Gaza, told Ma'an that after "huge efforts and contacts" to return the boy's body, officials found him among those who were detained. He was assumed to have died in the clashes Tuesday after a Palestinian ambulance crew was refused permission to access to the area following reports of deadly fire, Hassanein explained at the time. In what would turn out to be a second erroneous explanation that day, local residents also told Ma'an at the time that while the boy was indeed killed, the Israeli military was not involved. The purported death was an "internal matter," locals said, insisting on anonymity. The JPost, meanwhile, reports Al-Farmawi's horrific experience of three days in an Egyptian prison where, according to him, he and his friends were beaten and tortured with clubs and electric wires. The BBC, NY Times and AFP covered the apparent happy ending to this story although they failed to question Egypt's treatment of the Palestinian teenagers. However, the entire incident raises many more questions concerning the reporting. _____________________________________________________ Zombies are always an internal matter until they're eating every bodies brains.

Does this sound like what you are looking for? ___________________________________________________________________________________ Invisible Worlds There are invisible worlds that surround us all. People walk around them and through them all the time and never notice. These worlds are only known to their denizens and are hidden in plain sight from plain sight. They are everywhere and no where at the same time. You will only see them if you know what you are looking for or if those worlds should collide. The thing that you must first understand about the invisible worlds that surround us and that we all inhabit is that they each have their own rules and codes of conduct. They vary from one world to the next but there are two things that are universal to all of them. First, and most important, is that you never discuss the world or what happenings there with outsiders. Second, each of these worlds has its own set of dangers. Third, all of them are pernicious in their own way. It helps to think of these worlds in terms of set theory. They can intersect or exclude each other. They can join each other completely or exist in harmony only at specific spots. They can exist as super-sets of one another or only as sub-sets of a larger world. They are complex and simple and subtle and obtuse all at once. Last but not least, once you enter some of these worlds, you can never leave. Others you can visit but you can never go back. All of these worlds exact a price. In some you pay with your dignity, in others you pay in blood and treasure. In a few you may pay with your life.
