The future is a devious thing. We’re all time-travellers, albeit pretty damn slow time-travellers. We only go forward at a speed of one day per day, one step for every step. – Brian Lumley, British horror author, “Necroscope Series” and “Vampire World Series”(1986-1994) You haven’t read a vampire story until you read Brian Lumley’s work. The heroes and villians are one of a kind. I love you Anne Rice. But Lestat can’t touch Shaithis.

Dean said the following about yesterday’s terrible American Idol show: Okay, so this episode sucked. I think part of it is simply that if you pick songs that have been released only in the last 5 years, then, you’re very limited. don’t know what the classic familiar songs of this decade will be because we’re still too close to it. Also, as much as people make fun of him, Barry Manilow probably helped last week, since he really is a world-class producer and arranger (entirely outside his own work, which I don’t care for, I recognize his talent). On his 2nd point, I...

I’m infinitely tired of the term moonbats. It’s so overused and taken seriously that I fall from my levitated state when it is said (and that fall hurts being a big guy). But I really hate the term moonbats since it kills what a real moonbat would be like. I’m talking an actually creature on the moon that resembled a bat. A real live moonbat discovery would be great to behold. Seeing that the moon has no atmosphere, the moonbat would most likely float around all shimmery and ghostly in deep moon caves. And they wouldn’t bark either. They would be silent and telepathic....

I don’t know what’s pissing off actor Will Smith’s lovely wife Jada, but I would make sure not to even ask permission to cheat after watching the below video from the David Letterman show. She even performed at Ozzfest 2005. WHOA! By the way, I love YouTube!

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity… Which one is better? Which one is worse? Which is right? Which is wrong? …to infinity! One of the reasons I could never adopt either of those religions is because they all say they are the way. Which kind of disrespects The Eternal One since all three say they are the way to him. Unless there are three separate dieties. Then things would make more sense to me. Each individual diety is fighting for control of this world along with their faithful followers. That’s more comfortable for me to deal with. But if we all agree there is only...

Writing is one of the few professions in which you can psychoanalyse yourself, get rid of hostilities and frustrations in public, and get paid for it. — Octavia Butler, award-winning sci-fi author, 1947 - 2006. Very true but I’m a blogger. Don’t have time to research all that for profit angles in blogging. Besides, as long as I can read your books Octavia, I don’t ever have to earn a damn dime off of my writing. R.I.P. I’ll miss you.

…American Idol winners! This is when the show officially starts. Only 12 left, the big stage, Ricky Minor and the smokin’ band expanded… Gotta love it. I’m going to be pigbacking off of brutha Dean’s post since he always beats me to them. The theme was the legendary Stevie Wonder. Talk about a last name that accurately describes someone. Mr. Wonder has written and sung so many unique and wonderful songs that it boggles the mind. But as Prince said in a recent interview on my Sirius satellite radio, “Stevie Wonder’s songs will trip you up vocally...

It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday! And my wife throws a damn good party so… I’m out of commission today. Enjoy yourselves today, too.

Thanks for the following words and links Faye Anderson: Let’s be clear: It’s an urban myth that blacks will lose the right to vote in 2007. Instead, what’s at stake are key provisions of the act that are set to expire unless reauthorized. I’ve been trying to tell some knucklehead friends of mine that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 isn’t up in air thus putting into the jeopardy the voting rights of we on the darker side of the skin realm. But some of them think President Bush and the Republicans have it in for us. I find it extremely entertaining that a dictator, such as...
