Nighthawk

George Michael explicitly said that "I Want Your Sex" is not about casual sex!

It's based on a book series which the author openly declares has an atheist message. Sort of an anti-Narnia. For once, they have a legitimate gripe. Of course, that made me want to see it even more. Which I did. And I liked it. The anti religion themes were supposed to have been watered down in order to get kids to want to read the books and really get the message, but I still picked up a lot of it (perhaps because I'm a religious hobbyist). Cool otherwise, too, good fantasy stuff, nice action, good design. Polar bears fight, and pull off some karate kid shit. There's a whiskey swilling polar bear. Good to see fantasy making a comeback, there were lots of trailers for the genre as well.

I expected as much regarding the content. Actually, I hear it's supposed to be intentionally watered down, hoping to get kids into reading the books without their parents really knowing what they're getting into. That's awesome. Quality wise, it's like horror, I can watch anything. Still, you get a polar bear fight. I always said Zombie vs Shark was worth watching Fulci's Zombie alone.

Ok, that I'd agree with. Here in California, they regulate the hell out of guns, and people still get shot all the time. I just wouldn't agree with "Well, they're going kill people anyway, so let's not bother." But there are higher priorities, yes.

You should also look at it from a different perspective. Whether it will stop them or not (and it absolutely would slow them down, because yes, there are actually people who snap one day, plus what I was saying about proximity and opportunity), it certainly isn't going to hurt to have more regulations, is it?

Flawed logic, Laz. We shouldn't restrict what law enforcement has, but unless you're suggesting that civilians should have taken down the bank robbers with their own legally purchased weapons, it doesn't matter. Law abiding citizens don't need them. I wouldn't be all that paranoid about being overpowered in a gunfight if you're just a normal guy minding your own business. If somebody broke into your house covered in body armor and toting assault rifles, yeah, you're in pretty bad shape, but that's not likely to happen. I do remember the incident well. Not for nothing, it was more than 10 years ago and it was all over the news, meaning it was unusual.

Nah. Tighter regulation would absolutely quell rampage killings. Look at it this way: A) The criminal element is well armed, largely illegally. They tend to kill each other more than anything. B) For home security, a shotgun is probably best anyway. C) Ease of access encourages rampage killings. To use Columbine as an example, had their bombs worked, it's been said they likely could have killed more than a hundred people. Had they had access to a well stocked arsenal of explosives, comparable to the gun access they had, that likely would have happened. Your standard "lone nut" who wants to kill the president or some such, sure, they can use the black market. Maybe even a school shooter, if they're determined. But your rampage killings that take place in school, the mall, a restaurant, or now in a church, this is not the standard situation where one should plan to be in a gunfight, so no one but the authorities is likely to fight back. Therefore, stricter regulation of what type of guns one can legally own hurts no one. Does anyone need some of the higher end models available, besides the police and such? I can't think of a valid reason. It would decrease availability, not wipe it out, but you have to start somewhere. Of course, this doesn't affect the roundup required, but it's baby steps.

Yeah, but it's not perfect logic. I've owned guns, and sold them. Number of people I've shot: 0. Number of times I've been shot at: 1. Had guns pointed at me: 2. Number of times guns I've sold have shot people: a few. There are what you'd call hardened criminals, and then there are nutcases. Sure, people will find a way to kill, but the staggering ease with which a person can obtain a gun - even legally - doesn't make it any better. And for the hardened criminal, it's honestly not that common, depending on where you live. I mean, like I say, I've actually been shot at, and I don't walk around worrying about it. It's like Eddie Izzard said; no, guns don't kill people, but I think the gun helps. I'm not for banning guns, but tightening the laws up a tad, and maybe trying to get rid of some of the ones we have, it wouldn't hurt. If you're going to outright ban anything, ban handguns. I'd say assault rifles, but what are you going to rob a bank? Yeah, if you're doing that, you can find one. Handguns are a half step above toys.

There was a gun store around here (shut down now), which lost the paperwork for literally hundreds of guns. So that's hundreds of guns that nobody has idea where they went or where they are, from one store, in like a four month period. It's really pretty nuts.

Don't ever make phone calls from your bathroom, unless you know the person well enough to admit to them that's what you're doing.

Y'know, I was pretty shy as a kid, but it never really got to that level. Perhaps because I never actually believed in Santa Claus, so I knew that I was expected to take a picture with a guy in a suit because it would please my mom, so I did it as a favor to her. I mean, I'm sure my understanding of it was more primitive at the time, but that's basically what was going on. I wouldn't talk to him, though. My mom would say to the guy "He's shy." and he'd say "Oh, ok." Sit, smile, picture, move on. I couldn't be one of those guys though, because I've grown up to be terrified of children, due to having no idea how to react to them. I'm too used to being outrageously profane and talking about wildly inappropriate subject matter, so I'll usually just stare at my feet and clam up. Actually, they tell me I'm really good with kids if I'm tricked into it, like getting me playing video games with them or looking at their toys. Then I'll start to relate to them on their own level. The inverse of the frightened child, I suppose.

I've posted my full name, address and phone number on here before. I got love notes (seriously). But anyway, it's well known that old people can't use a phone properly. Back when I worked for a sporting goods store called Big 5, old people would always call looking for one of the other ten or so businesses in the area which have the word "big" in their name. I prank called them myself once and asked if they sold Zoltar machines. Little too obscure, they didn't get it. They really make those machines though. I swear to Christ I'd kill for one, but they're like $10,000. Someday...

That's all pretty cool on the Punisher movie. That chick directed Green Street Hooligans, which was awesome. I'd totally see it just based on that. In other film news, I'm so totally going to see Golden Compass now that I heard it's actually an antichristian metaphor which culminates in the murder of God (the series, not this particular one). I probably would have seen it anyway, because I love the fantasy genre, but nah, I'm seeing it in theaters now. I'll wear my Venom "Welcome to Hell" shirt to it as well.

The "little bit of pussy" picture is now my desktop wallpaper.

Kinetic, you are just cute as the dickens. I mean, I'm not gay (anymore), but I can acknowledge it. You're not hot or anything, but cute as a bug's ear, which is actually just as good, in a totally different way. I'd classify myself as "lovable rogue". These are all different classifications of male attractiveness.

(Maureen McCormick: Marcia Brady. Eve Plumb: Jan Brady) So I've been hearing for the past couple weeks that Maureen McCormick is putting out a book where she admits to a lesbian fling with Eve Plumb. It's... not as exciting as I imagined. Marcia and Jan getting it on is something I fantasized about hundreds of times... but if it really happened... who gives a shit? Unless this book comes with a dvd, I honestly don't care. I'd read it anyway, cause I love that show, but it ain't a selling point. Not that Marcia wasn't a stone cold fox, but I always thought that by the last season, Jan was way hotter. Look at her: Sure, she looks like one of the Manson girls, but still. Always my favorite character, too. Jan was pretty awesome.

I went to Starbucks and had an egg nog latte today, and it made my stomach really sour and I ended up throwing up. That's a bummer, because I love egg nog, and I go to Starbucks more than any other consumables dealer, probably (just cause they're everywhere). I look forward to the egg nog latte all year (also the orange creme frappucino, but that's another story). It won't stop me from getting it again, but the incident will be in the back of my mind when I do (at the very least, I won't get it at that particular Starbucks again).

This happened to my sister once (this is a girl of 16 at the time with her friends of the same age), and she complained, and the manager accused her of putting it there herself to scam free food. I'm sorry, that's fucked up. My sisters and I are not even very close, but I ended up exacting some revenge on the place to defend her honor (stealing, driving away business and such).

Well, I liked Elephant. I can't justify why, but I really do like it a lot. I even bought the shirt the blond kid wears in it. Here's me wearing it: People have complimented me on the shirt in relation to the movie, so some people do like it. Still, the best movie about a school shooting, I'd say, is Zero Day. Might want to check that one out.

Well, I ain't over Molly Holly either.

I'd think we've all matured past that. We were like 18 when that shit was going on, and we're now like 24/25. Except for Leena. She begged for it, though. And the less said about her, the better.

^ Is really into frozen pizzas or Peanuts comics (or WWI). Those pizzas rule, but the comics suck (WWI I have no opinion of... now WWII... I could gush for hours about the Nazis).

Didn't you double team a chick with that pretty guy?

God did wrestle people in the Bible, you know. To this day, it's how you really impress a Jew if they come over to your house for dinner, by getting this particular steak where they have to cut out all the sinew. It's very expensive and takes a skilled kosher butcher to do. But that's why they don't eat it... God crippled Jacob in the thigh during a wrestling match. Genesis 32.
