June 26, 2003 - 11:01 p.m. The plight of animal's being needlessly killed for the enjoyment of the chase is one that I have professed concern over in the past, and on several occaisions it may have actually been how I felt at the time. Probably not, but I never do know what feelings or motivations I will ascribe to past actions until I am pressed and in a position where I will not get laid unless I sound like I had a thought process connected to how I acted. That being the case, and not really pertaining to my point, I have no problem, what-so-ever, with this site, http://www.dogbegone.com/video.htm , nor do I have any problem with how much I enjoy going to this site and watching, watching, watching... Pop goes the weasel(priarie dogs, close enough), and the weasel goes Pop! As I endeavor to become once again one of those dwindling ranks of human beings with one of those "job" things, where you get a paycheck, complain about the working conditions, and do nothing about them, I still have the same old obsession with reading. A book every other day since before the number of years I had lived took more then one keystroke to type. My interest in the latest books is there, inside, but I have thousands of books that I am happy to reread to keep my mind occupied, instead of buying the latest Harry Potter. I just don't think the funds can be allocated at this time, and getting the book on the first day it is out is no way near as cool as getting the new Zelda before everyone. I bring this up because a friend of mine, who knows that I liked the Potter books more than I had wanted to admit, became insistant that I go out and purchase the new one, even folowing my little explanation about the whole job thing. He wanted someone to talk about it with so badly, and was pestering me online about it, not really getting the idea that there would be plenty of places online to chat about it, even after I said it in exactly those words. Eventually I pretended to have an anuerism in order to get out of the conversation, and all was well, as soon as my ears stopped leaking blood. sometimes I go the extra little distance to be convincing, even though it's not really necessary, or conducive to me living past the age of 30. But I give myself freely to the expression of my art, and sometimes it takes more blood then sweat or tears to really really drive your point home. On a different note, I can't wait to get my hands on the new Harry Potter book, I really like where that series is going. I can't wait even more, or should I say I can't wait even less? Maybe it's I can wait even less... screw it. I am anticipating to a much larger degree the release of the new Michelle West book next month, the fifth in the Sun Sword series. That woman in the cold depths of the Canadian, uhm, country, does such things with her words to those minds of mine, the like of which should have at least two church groups opposing the experiencing of purely because it feels that good, come on, you know they'd hate anything that makes my mind ejaculate. She has been able to make me feel emotions for the characters and their trials that I had sworn ahd beened burned out by bitterness eons ago. No other woman alive can say they have the same effect on me. And the way she paints the scene's with her words and pastel soft tones literally manifest themselves in my imagination as if they were moving watercolor paintings. I am not going to describe that any further, although it probably could use more clarification. Superstitious as I am not, I still do not want to dispell the magic by calling attention to it with my paltry comand of the language. Not to mention my complete lack of the ability to spell, and disregard for remedying that lack. I also hear, although I haven't investigated online yet, that Simon R. Green has written a new Deathstalker book. Who just groaned? You can leave right now, and go crawl up in a close minded ball and figure out which orifice you should be using a tooth brush on, and which you should be using toilet paper on, since you seem to be able use them both interchangeably, and are getting them mixed up. I like the series. You don't have to agree, but don't ruin it for others. Letting them decide for themselves without giving them preconcieved ideas can only do them good, because even if something is badly written, once you have read it, you are at least able from then on to learn from why its bad, and possibly that will help you out somewhere. And sometimes bumpy rides are necessary to experience an amazing overall journey. Just go with it, pretend you agree, or that I am making sense, and I will go on... thank you. The Deathstalker series is a sci-fi space soap opera, with dialogue and wit quick as a Gilmore Girl's exchange, morbid and gory as a Hellraiser scene(the first one, you know, the one that didn't suck), levity braided with death and pain, sarcasm to bring it together, and a purposefull attempt to rip off every famous sci-fi movie that had anything to do with living amoung the stars. Every 200 pages or so, the heroes face stereopical "over-whelming odd's", admit the impossibilty of surviving That time for sure, and are suddenely able to touch upon miraculous abilities and ocean's of energy that they find were deep down always part of their potential, the use of which defeats everyone around them and saves the day. Many have held up that as one reason the series sucks. And I would agree, if Mr. R. Green didn't know he was doing it, or if he had been blindly following some college writing theory formula for a storyline. But he does this on purpose, the whole thing is a satire of everything both novular, nowadays, as well as sci-fi in the mainstream. He does it on purpose because he can, it's funny, and doggonit, people like him. He write's it in such a way, though, that is too well worded for some people to be able to equate easily with most other parodies, which usually just rely on the original source material and the audience's familiarity with it to paint the scene instead of actually using any discernable writing style or attempt at depth and complexity in sentence or paragraph structure. He wouldn't have been able to pull off the many layered plot and hundreds of main character's while ripping off so many other works without writing it and developing it well. And that's why I like the series, and am glad to see it continue after it ended. I think it ended well, before it got tired or forced. I look forward to seeing if he next makes slight and sport of series that go on far after the spark leaves, just to make more money. Him good, I like, take that, yo momma.
