The Greatest TV Show Of All Time
Mood:  mischievious
Topic: Personal Views

I have discovered what I believe to be the greatest TV show ever known to mankind.  I've been watchng it for weeks now.  I'm hooked and I never miss an episode.  I even watch the reruns.

It's aired on FitTV on Tuesday nights at 8:00 pm and if you haven't seen it, watch it.  If you don't get FitTV, call your cable company and DEMAND that they make that channel available!

The show is called Shimmy.  It teaches you how to belly dance! This show has me mesmerized every time it comes on.  The women are beautiful; their movements are graceful and the wardrobe is fantastic!

Karen and Adalat are my two favorite dancers.  In my opinion, they are also the two best dancers.

This is the greatest TV show ever invented by mankind and you should watch it every time it comes on the air.  Check out the website by clicking here. 

I want to personally thank whoever came up with the idea for creating this ground-breaking television program.  This show is truly making the world a better place to live in.

Mundane Week (So Far)
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: Personal Views

Well, nothing much has happened this week.  I worked the weekend, then had 3 days off.  All I did was pretty much stay at home.  I didn't get out too much; just to run some errands, then go straight back home. 

I've gotten back into collecting comic books after taking a 15 year (or more) break from the whole thing.  I don't know what really made me pick it back up.  I just randomly went into a comic shop back at the first of the year just because it was in the shopping center where I was at.  I bought a Red Sonja comic because it seemed interesting and BAM I was hooked again.  So I've started collecting Red Sonja and a couple of other titles.  Now I'm remembering why I quit collecting the first time.  When I get into doing something, I go all out with it, so I've been on a mission to get my hands on every Red Sonja comic that I can.  I've nearly done it, too.

That's what I spent my days off doing...organizing my collection.  I know, it's sad, but I think that I got it all out of my system now.  The only thing left to do is wait for my monthly comic to arrive at the store.  Maybe it's time to move on to something else...but I'm not sure what.

Anyway, as I was out running some errands the other day, I saw a sign on a church that said "Fear the Lord".  Fear the Lord?  WTF are these people, some sort of crazy fanatics or something?  I don't know about you, but I don't want to worship a God that I have to live in fear of.  I'd rather worship a kind and loving God that has my best interest in mind.  That, ladies and gentlemen is just one of the problems that I have with the christian religion - the fear element.  It seems that throughout history, the people in charge of the church, whoever that may be, have used the "fear factor" to get us to be "born again".  That's just plain wrong.  Look, if God is real and what the Bible says is true, then why should we have to FEAR god?  Why shouldn't we just be able to do what the Bible says and let that get us in to Heaven?

I think that the reason that fear and initmidation is used by the church is because they KNOW that God is basically just a theory, a concept, and that there isn't really any way to actually PROOVE that He exists other than dying!  I don't know about you, but I've never known anyone who has actually died, came back and said "All that Bible stuff is true!"  Therefore, they resort to scare tactics in order to get us to conform.

But you don't want bore yourself with my rants on religion, do you?  No, I don't think that you do.  I think that's all for now.  Maybe something exciting will happen over the weekend that I can tell you about.

I Owe Al Gore An Apology
Mood:  bright
Topic: Personal Views

Two years after its release, I've finally gottn around to watching An Inconvenient Truth.  In fact, I've just now finished watching it.  It seems that I owe Al Gore an apology.

I never really bought in to Gore's whole "Global Warming" thing.  I mean, sure, the climate is getting warmer, but I was just thinking that it was due to the usual waxing and waning that the climate usually does every few centuries.  I was 100% sure that Gore was trying to pin the whole thing on mankind.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not stupid enough to think that we weren't doing anything in the entire process.  I knew that we were at least speeding it up.

That's really what Gore is saying if you read between the lines.  He's not blaming mankind for the whole mess, he's saying that we're contributing to speeding the whole mess up!  I hate to say it, but I actually agree with him.

You see the reason that I never saw this movie until now is because I don't actually like Al Gore and I certainly don't agree with his politics.  So, I didn't see the movie because of those reasons, mainly.  I also thought that this was a cause that he picked up after loosing the presidential election in order to keep himself in the spotlight.  I was wrong.

It turns out that this has been a passion of his ever since he was in college.  The research that he put into this project is amazing and he's very well versed in what he's saying.  I have a new-found respect for him.  I also agree with his message and I think that what he is doing is a highly admirable thing.

So therefore I owe you an apology, Al Gore.  While I still don't agree with your politics (and shame on you for putting them in this movie), I do agree with what you are trying to accomplish.  I have a respect for you that I didn't have in the past and I certainly hope that not only the United States, but the entire world opens up their ears to your voice.
