Well I know that that seems like an open ended question right off the bat, but I do know that there's quite a bit that is going on in the world these days. From new books that are out (and that I'm currently reviewing right now, i.e. I'm reading one of the books that I'm going to be talking about), to the war on gay rights here in California, to different things (those are the only ones that currently come to mind right now, hehe, sorry ^_^;)
First off, I figured that I would get into this one book that I'm currently reading right now it's by an author that actually happens to be fictional, but is also apart of a television show that happens to be currently in its fourth (4th) season right now. The show is called "Castle", and it airs Mondays at 10.01p and the show stars Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan. To be totally honest this is one show that is great to watch and funny as all get out to.
Now I know that the show is currently in their fourth (4th) seasons right now because of the number of books that have been published under the name of "Richard Castle", since at the end of each season a book comes out that he was working on during the season. Right now I'm currently reading "Heat Rises", and so far the book is great to read (of course doesn't help that I still happen to be at the beginning of the book right now, but I'm a fast reader so when I fully get finished with the book I'll let you all know how it happens to be.
Now I know that there have been several things that have happened here in Fresno as of today alone. An officer involved shooting here (something that no one wants to have happen close to their homes), and even a plane crash that took place within the last couple of days (turns out the person flying it might have stolen it for a joy ride, idiot). Or even the one thing that has been real hard here in Fresno despite what the reports have been saying in the local paper and on the news, and that's that unemployment rate, they say that it's gone down to 8.5, yeah right.
Now the day that I got back to Fresno (02/04/12), there was a long (and I mean HUGE) line at the local ball park known as Chukchansi Park (it's where the AAA baseball team of the Fresno Grizzlies play, at least before they get called up to the Giants baseball team), which basically tells you that the reports of the unemployment rate here in Fresno is not at the 8.3 that they're saying or anywhere around there at all. From what I had found out, it's more like it's around 25-26% or possibly higher than 30%, which in truth doesn't help the city of Fresno (or the county for that matter) at all. Plus from what I had found out, the government had given grants to the city of Fresno to help when it came to jobs, but the money disappeared and now the city of Fresno is under investigation. Hell I could tell you where at all that money went, since it's now preventing the city from getting any more help, it all when to the charity churches that are filled through out Fresno. Now the thing is, since the money went to those places, they don't have to report any money that they get, so the end result is that there's literally a black hole here in Fresno when it comes to any money coming into the city at all. Besides if it's going to the churches, they're not going to be helping out with employment, they're only going to be helping out with food, clothing, and spiritual help and that's it, nothing else. Personally I would've told the churches to go stuff it, and sent the money off to the mom and pop businesses that really need the help, but hey that's just me, and since when does anyone ever listen to me at all.
On another note, the one thing that I know a lot of my friends (at least the gay and lesbian ones) are going to like, Prop 8 has been killed in court, of course that also means that it's going to be heading up the highest court in the country, and that's where a major showdown is going to happen that is going to change the course of the entire country. So basically it means this, if Prop 8 is up held is means that the churches and those that wanted to discriminate will win a huge victory against civil rights, however if it's killed (which I'm hoping that it is), it will mean a major victory for civil rights. Also it will let the churches know one thing that they would rather not know ever, that they have to update themselves or they will end up being completely left behind. However that's on them.
Now the one thing that I was told about entertainment wise now, is dealing with the new Superman that's going to be coming out next year. From what I've seen (and included with this posting), the suit looks great, and it's designed from the New 52 look too, though I'll let you all be the judge of that. Anyway. I'm going to end this one for now. Sorry about the delay
