let me just be honest


i loved the "nick" cartoon avatar the last air bender.

i am only saying this due to the fact the movie is coming out tomorrow. i have a few poeple in my life who will jump on the band wagon and i don't want to be looked at as one of those people.

i loved the story even if it was all Buddhist and stuff.

now you know how big of a geek i am...

i just had to get this off my chest.

when some one's only way of communication is through sarcasm.


when people call and only talk about themselves.


slow turners ( you don't need to stop and then turn).


deer flies (they are not as cute as the name makes them sound).

dear ellen

today i realized how bad i wanted an ipad... so i thought i would write to the ellen show and ask for one.

"dear ellen,
i wish i had a heart breaking story about how my testicle was lost in a big wheel accident or how i rescued baby raptors from a burning building, but that would be bragging... so i am just going to be honest. i want an ipad. i live in the hick town of beattyville, kentucky and i want to be the first kid in my holler to have one.
i have done nothing to deserve your love or awesome gift from apple (which some people think apple is from satan because adam and eve ate an "apple", but everyone knows it was a mushmellon. just thought you would like to know that), but come on we both like women.
so please think of me as you hand out free gifts to screaming women while there is a man in overalls wishing he had an ipad to read david sedairs books like New Yorkers.

love and peace and all that stuff that is suppose to be free,
Tommy Hall"

what do you think? will it work?

"dislike"




everyone knows i am a comic book fan. i don't hide this.


i love comics cause i can escape from reality and just get lost in the world of spandex and super powers.


some times the comic book world gets too real (i know it sounds impossible, but it is true) for me.




ever since i have become a father, i have become very sensitive to issues dealing with children being harmed. i sit in court and listen to horrible stories and see pictures of children being hurt. it sticks with me. something about the innocent being punished just gets me.


i am kind of like brian in that family guy episode when he finds out he has a son and worries over everything...


sorry josh, didn't mean to become like that.




recently dc comics has been doing a story on a character named roy harper aka: speedy, arsenal, and red arrow.


he had a little daughter named lian.


it was a neat twist on the character. he was a super hero, recovering drug addict, single father, and womanizer. he was hot headed, but loved his daughter.


so i found it distasteful to kill off his daughter. it didn't really bother me that much. it is fiction, but when i saw the images of him visiting his daughter in the morgue it made me sad.


i know.. how stupid is that. i am getting upset over a comic book.




i just can't help it.




to be honest... each night i pray for my son to always be safe. i pray that i would go before he would. it's just what parents do... i think...




i guess the point of this post is.... lighten up comics... i don't care if you kill off adults... it doesn't bother me and what i want is more important than a good story... i think...
