i was in a movie today. things were broken and demolished. oh happy day.

here's a list of things i just don't like, in no particular order:

albums with an intro as the first track
open sores
capris
satan
juliette lewis
movies that begin with the ending
illinois nazis
pop-ups
telemarketers
oppression
women with mullets
diet mountain dew
crowds
wasting precious time sleeping
people in the gas station hogging the line buying lottery tickets for 20 minutes
spilling my mountain dew all over my van after only taking two sips
fags
when there's nothing on TV but "city slickers"
anything on the radio that is not music
lists of things that people just don't like.

mmmmm .29 cent burritos.

someone provided me with a refreshment the other day and who am i to say no? it was a can of diet mountain dew. it was warm out, it was a cold drink...

ewwwwwwwww!!!

how can they possibly justify calling that beverage mountain dew? how how how?

it's just unholy and wrong.

i blame satan.

*sorry. we are all out of candy. it was delicious. and you took too long to visit.

so my two year old daughter was playing with her toys, as she always does, and she had three dolls in her baby sized stroller. i looked at the arrangement and i thought it was rather odd, but meaningful.

she had packed in the stroller, all tucked in and cozy looking, a white baby doll wearing pink pajamas, a black (African American if you wanna be anal) baby doll dressed in green and white and a yellow ducky (the duck says that "now i lay me down to sleep prayer when you squeeze him).

i love that about my daughter! i love many things about my daughter! she does not see any color difference, whether you're whitey, blackey or duckey. she loves them all, and they all party together in the wee little stroller.

i think there is a lesson to be learned from this.

it's that we should all pray when we are squeezed.

or maybe not.

anyway, i hope you see my point.

since i feel like blogging, and comics are my bread and butter (mmmm.bread and butter...) well, here's a list of comic book characters who just have sucky powers and other social problems.

Unus. he was thief turned wrestler who had the ability to surround himself with an impenetrable force field. he makes this list due to the fact that his own power killed him. he lost control of his force field and suffocated. now that's just sad.

Nightside. one of the many Imperial Guard of the Shi'ar Empire. she has he ability to create total darkness in certain areas. um... i really cant see how that is all that helpful. write my guestbook and tell me what you think that can help or hinder. as for me, i guess i would use that power to avoid getting sunburn.

Marrow. even though i like this character her power is just gross. she has the ability to extrude (that means remove) spiky bones from her own body and use them as weapons. i'm not sure that the enemies run from her because they don't want to fight her, they might just be a little...freaked out. i mean, wouldnt you be? she doesn't date much.

Maggott. you would think the name says it all. but his name alone does not make him the last person ever that you would invite to a party. his power consists of two sluglike beings that can enter and exit his abdomen at any time. they are in fact, his only digestive system. they can eat almost any form of matter. they are named Eany and Meany. oh well, i cant really imagine what kind of situation that this power can fight evil. maybe recycling, or even a job on fear factor.

so, maybe i will have more for this list later. i mean, there are so many sucky comic characters to choose from. heck, one of Daredevil's worst enemies was "Stilt Man" yes, his costume consisted of mechanical stilts.

so there.

i've never been able to explain myself around other adults.

i guess i never made that transition smoothly going from calling certain people mr. or mrs. (insert last name here) to the much easier (insert first name here, etc.)
i danced around this like most people who have trouble with names and just avoided addressing them at all.

for example: hey...you. or "buddy" or "pal" or even the occasionally rare "big guy"

although i never used "champ" or "bucko" those are just words i usually just don't say.

but this little problem has led to alot of wierd times for me in conversations. as we all know, i care very little about sports so that subject gets thrown out the window.

and the weather? well, that's always going to be around to talk about. it's a silly and obvious thing to discuss, but it's kind of like a default category. if ya got nothing going on in your head? talk about what's swirling around outside of it, temperature and precipitation.

let's face it it. i'm just a big kid who fell in love with movies, books and entertainment. there are others like me, ...but they still live with their moms.

until next time, rock on...er, buddy.

chipotle.

alright. fine. if you read the guest list, (and you should) the pope, a.ka. gio a.k.a. el diablo is right. her name was pillows. pillows, pillows pillows. the rest of the story is true. maybe i was changing the names to protect the innocent. heck, gio only went by john way back then. my, things have changed. i used to like asparagus.
