| Tired of Iraq |
[Jul. 28th, 2004|02:20 am] |
It has been a while since I have been on here. I had a guard duty thingy that kept me out of the office for almost a week. I hate to bitch, but if i don't do it here where else am I going to do it. What is up with the Democrats and Kerry? I mean I am not a fan of Bush, but Kerry does not make me want to vote for him. He is so far in the middle, that there is almost no difference between him and Bush. I swear to god, you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. People wonder why no one votes, they call it voter apathy, and for a long time I admonished anyone who didn't go vote, I mean people died so you could vote. But now, Now I completly understand. The two party system has a vice on the whole process, no one else can get in. Public education has kept our country as a whole stupid, stupid enough for people to just pull the lever for democrat because "my daddy was a democrat (or republican), and my grandfather was too!" A lot of people do not vote because it does not matter. Neither candidate represents what people want. They are candidates that have been bought already and put out as a show of democracy. But I guess it is apathy in a way. In the movie Se7en, one of my alltime favorites btw, Morgan Freeman's character says "People don't want a hero, they just want to watch TV and eat Cheeseburgers" This is completly true. As long as people get their McDonalds, and their 6 hours of TV a day, they could care less about Iraq, or our record federal deficit. Oh they care on the surface. They care enough to tune into CNN, hoping to see a rocket explosion, or a good be-heading. Now this is reality TV, and they love it! Just like they love war, it makes good TV! But they don't care enough to actually DO anything.
Ok Enough Political Stuff! I am thinking about starting a website about movies that make you think, not good movies, but once you can't ignore. |

I am trying to figure out where to live. I like Baltimore, and I am starting to get used to it, but after spending this time in the desert, I am starting to realize that I am generally healthier living in a warm place, with out the humidity. I think living in a desert without all the pollen, that kills me every year, will add 10 years to my life. So I am looking at NV, CA, AZ, NM, or TX. My wife doesn't want to live in CA, because she has heard too much about it, so I can concede that. We are thinking about NV, maybe around the Las Vegas area. I did a cool quiz on findyourspot.com and my top ones came out to be Las Vegas, Henderson NV, Honolulu, HI, and Orange County, CA. You should try it! |

I am not a very religous man, but if I were I would worship my goddess Tracie. I have added some pictures to this post, and as you can see, she is perfect. I love and lust her completly. Not only is she gorgeous, she is also so sexy, so imaginitve and so kinky. She is bi, and loves to play. If she were not real, this is the girl I would make up. She is also the best person in the world, she is completly protective of her family, she would do anything to make sure her family is well taken care of. She is an incredible mom, and keeps the best looking house in the world. She is handy, she fixes cars, makes house hold repairs, and can take care of herself. I would be lost without her. Although she looks like the type that would spend your bank account she is actually very thrifty although I am trying to get her to spend more on herself. She is the perfect angel, and I love her. Oh yeah did I mention she is the most perfect woman in the world!

| The Crow and Brandon Lee |
[Jul. 13th, 2004|03:58 pm] |
I did not want to see the Crow when it first came out. Someone convinced me to go and it was eye-opening to say the least. My tastes have always run a little obsence and morbid, but I had not really known other people like me. Then I saw them for the first time. Kids dressed in black, with too much make-up, looking like they were ready for holloween! At first I thought it was wierd, but hey give me a little while to adjust, it was my first run in with the goth scene. Well since then I have become very obsessed with everything goth (although goth means something very specific to some people, the meaning has grown to cover all things black, dark, and morbid, my three favorite adjectives!) I have been in the military (how anti-goth is that!) since then and have not really had the ability to express myself. But at long last I am getting out as soon as I get back from Iraq, and I expect to go a little crazy, from tribal tattoo's to tongue piercings, I am going to change myself to be so anti-military, and anti-christ. Ok I am getting off the subject of The Crow and Brandon Lee! So I saw the Crow and I loved it. It was the most macabre thing since Poe to me. I even went to meet James O'Barr. Now I am not so into it that I am one of those people who likes to think Brandon is still alive, and I don't believe in that LEE FAMILY CURSE thing either. (It takes a lot for me to believe in anything) But it was a life changing thing for me. I will write more later, they are buggin me at work!

| Life is good, but is porn good business? |

I am still in Iraq and a couple of people died in iraq yesterday, but I am very happy with my life. Right now me and my beautiful wife have saved up 27,000 bucks, hopefully 40,000 by the time I get home. The question is, what do we do with it? We ran a small porn site before I left, nothing major, we put some time into it, but no capital at all, but now we are thinking about going big time. I mean hiring models, photographers, all that stuff. It is a little scary because there is some risk involved. I really want to do something different though, I think so much of the porn out there is kinda the same thing rehashed over and over again. I would like to do some stuff that would cater more to women, but what do women want to see that they don't get from a good romance novel? I am also thinking about doing some type of a reality thing. Or even something with a jackass punk feel, so much pron out there caters to the middle age guys, and a lot of porn viewers are in their 20's. Anyway is there money to make here or is the porn market flooded? I don't want to be a stupid kid who blows all his money on a lame idea, but at the same time I would be kicking myself if I see some other idiot doing my idea and making millions. |

I love the karaoke scene. Who knew Bill could sing? It was nice to see a guy going through a mid-life crisis not portrayed as such an asshole. I don't think I have hit mine yet, but it was nice to see one portrayed as a person, instead of a stereotype. I thought the movie was a little bit slow, but very good. I love the part where the husband (Giovanni Ribisi) is talking to the actress, and of course he has to put on a show, and suck up. Scarlett is looking at him like "Do I even know this person?" It kind of shows how different people can be at work compared to home. I think we all have this a little bit. So the question is, why didn't he do it? Why didn't he has sex with a woman half his age? How could a man turn down such an invitation?
I think I know the answer, but I want to see what everyone else says. |

I am in Iraq right now, so my perfect life is on hold. This is my first journal entry of many to come. Here is the quick low down on me. I am a freethinker, I don't let other people tell me what to think and I always research everything people tell me. I am very interested in politics, William Gibson, writing(I am working on my first book), movies, music, and sports. I am 34 years young, I have a beautiful wife, I am in the National Guard currently in Iraq for a year, and I am a computer programmer. I tend to be rebellious and I think I am pretty smart, at least in the top 20%! (smile) I like to have fun and I love conversation with smart people. I do not like people who are boastful, rude and opinionated. I am pretty laid back, but I can get riled up about certain issues. I am going to write entries about music, books, movies, techno stuff, religion and politics.
This is just the beginning! |
