Heh, you crazy kids, I could never forget about you :-D
Hoowah, oh yeah laziness settled in again, I've started writing the next proposal, been doing it during Economics class so thats prolly why it goes so slow.
If most of you don't know, I watch little to no TV, but what I do watch is either Cartoon Network for Adult Swim, or TechTV. TechTV has been goin through some changes, and for some reason I felt the need to talk about it. You see they had this show 'Call For Help' and they had a guy named Chris Pirillo host it, he was a wackt cantankerous nerd, who was quite helpfull. I never watched it that much, but it was a good show and Chris did a good job. The Other TechTV show, their flagship show The ScreenSavers, the man who hosts it, Leo Laporte, was suddenly also doing Call For Help, Then i came to find out it was pretty permanent. Seemed odd to me as again I thought Chris did a good job, while not my faverate person to watch on TV I respected him as one of the best Nerds we have. Aparently he was sort of given the boot as it were, he finished one Friday and they told him it was his last show, and thats all we know. And then it brought me to wonder why, so I found his weblog, which is pretty nifty and now i read it a lot, because off the air I find him more likable, as he seems more like a nerd and less like a goofy host. Well he's still pretty goofy, and a lot crazier than I gave him credit for. I really don't know where I'm going with this actually, but Chris is a cool guy and not oly is his weblog designed well, its a random interesting read, not to mention his cam is actually updated pretty often, (most people do one pic a day) to show you that this guy is actually on the computer all the time. Umm yeah thats all i got on that, I'm just really wanna know the whole story behind this casting change.
Also after seeing his page it gave me an idea, to make a font based off my handwriting, lord knows how this might take a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks....it all depends on my laziness factor :-)

Well It has begun, I finished the first story proposal. It can be found here.
In case you hadn't heard, I've decided to get the creative juices flowing and write stuff again. I plan to show like 2 - 4 proposals for different ideas, and I'll give a little vote to see which one people like, and I'll write that one on a continual basis, with regular intervals to this site. Technically these are all proposals for stories I'd like to see as full blown comic books one day, and I'd write them as such, similar to the way my Jinketsu story in my Infornography section looks. Unless I get really daring and write it in full story mode like Singed.
All for now kiddies.

Ok by my one of my previous posts you know my views on the war, and that I feel strongly about it. I've also mentioned the msg board I post to. I just felt it would gelp you understand why I feel so strongly and why i get angry if I posted some "direct" quotes by some of these people.
If you don't like the idea of the war, thats fine, just don't be an idiot or an asshole about it. Like these people. Now here I can stop being how nice I usually am and say what I'm thinking.
"I'm ashamed of being an American....And I for one think the US deserves just what its getting."
The Yanni: Get out of my Goddamn country. You don't like it here, get out, we don't want you.
"And who is to say Iraq will be better off without Saddam?"
The Yanni: Yeah leaving an insane dictator who has killed thousands of his own people, and replacing it with a government that the people of Iraq can decide what they want couldn't possibly be better. And even if it fails, at least we tried.
"...this is just another godamned Vietnam."
(I think I'll let someone else who made a good point on the board field this one.)
Repuricanto: Your comparison doesn't even make sense. The Vietnam conflict started in the 50's when the French went in. We went around in the mid 60's and we were supposed to be there just in a training advisory capacity. But Johnson got us involved in a full blown war. We didn't go in to invade in the beginning.
Thank you Repuricanto :-)
"The U.S. has always believed they know what's best for the world, but why are they suddenly acting on it now?"
The Yanni: Because its the right thing to do. And we've decided we're not going to sit back and do nothing...like the rest of the world.
"How about the fact that Iraqi citizens all hate the US, there must be a reason why they aren't greeting us with open arms."
The Yanni: Oh, did Saddam tell you that...he's quite reliable. Plus that fact that if anyone openly said anything against Saddam, they be killed. I'm sure that doesn't have anything to do with it either.
"Always in war it's been about whether or not there's 'something in it for us', and that's EXACTLY what makes it wrong and exactly why I don't support it."
The Yanni: Soo...you don't support it because there's nothing in it for us, so the war is wrong because we're doing the right thing, arguments fall apart like....well things that fall apart easily.
"...because Saddam is a dictator and we want to help the poor oppressed? No. Because Iraq has oil and Saddam tried to kill Bush's daddy."
The Yanni: We don't need or want their f'cking oil we get 75% of our impoted oil from Canada, and another big chunk from Mexico, we barely get any from that region of the world. And if we wanted oil, Kuwait is right there, and they pose no threat, why the hell would we goto war instead of just going to Kuwait for oil. And god if Bush's father wasn't a President, people wouldn't have half the arguments against him. Going after the bad guy, makes him a child. When President Clinton bombed Iraq, we didn't hear a peep about anti-war protesting. Its just so annoying and so dumb to think if Clinton was the one doing this, we'd Champion him. a lying, theiving, sac of shit. Over a man who has never lied to us or done nothing but what he believes is right.
"Bush has been a dictator from the start. �The American people didn't even vote him into office."
The Yanni: Yeah.. a dictator. If Bush was a dictator, all the people who have been protesting would have been shot on sight, oh wait thats what happens in Iraq. Or kill the Vice President, Speaker of the House, etc, so no one could take his place, oh wait thats what happened in Iraq when Saddam killed his own Sons, and his entire family so no one would succede him. Or he's start killing his own countrymen, or anyone who dissagreed with him, oh yeah I forgot thats Iraq again.
I can't believe were still talking about him not being elected by America, at least about half the country voted him in, the rest was up to the Electoral college. Thats just the way the system works, get over it.
"You're right, I don't like Bush. �I must be crazy for not liking a president that's on vacation more than he's on the job. �I must be crazy for liking a president that supports tax breaks for people that have more money than 80% of the country. �I must be crazy for not liking a president whose only reason for going to war is to take up daddy's lost cause."
The Yanni: See now we get to the heart of the matter, she's mad because the president put money back into the hands of the people who earned it. Yeah the rich got back more...because they pay more. You know that 95% of the money taken in by taxes by the government, is paid by 5% of the people? Besides we all got money back, its just amazing a president is getting slammed for giving people their money back. As for more on Vacation than on the job? Thats f'cking rediculus. Hell I remember Clinton went on "vacation" in some forign country then when he got back the he spent the next week in Martha's Vineyard.
And lastly an oldy but a goodie,
"Did you know that Germany did not want Bush as our president? Why? They thought his tactics were too much like Hitler's. Seems about right, too."
The Yanni: Wait a second did I just hear Bush and Hitler in the same sentence and mentioned them being alike, thats f'cking laughable you fucking stupid child. Yeeah I'm sure Germany spent a lot of time researching Bush before he came into office, and Hitler-esque tactics.....what F'cking tactics were those??? He was a Texas Gov, not a military general. I wouldn't be suprised if this person made this up, cause its fucking laughable. And Who the hell cares what Germany thinks about who becomes president, nothing against Germany but they don't vote in out elections, and this kind of matter they can go f'ck them selves.
Well this was a long post, and hopefully you understand why I get so angry dealing with stupid people on this topic. I don't mind having a conversation about it with someone who has an opposing view point, in fact that can be fun and interesting sometimes. But in this case I find these people to be idiodic, opinionated and misinformed. For them its more about hating bush, than going after Saddam. If I offended anyone I'm sorry for that but its what I believe.
God Bless America,
love it or leave it.
