In with the New Year, Gone with the Old Year

There has been a lot that has taken place over the past year, and this will be the final entry for the year 2012 (I was just going to leave it as final entry, but I didn't know if those that actually read this blog would actually get that at all), and believe me, we've seen way more than any other year around. Amazing year for movies, and on the political side (of which I'm only going to mention this once only and not posting on the political side this time), we've seen one of the biggest fights for the White House that we've ever seen, I'm honestly thrilled that things have turned out the way that they have.

Entertainment wise, we've seen some amazing movies, including the blockbuster smash "The Avengers", of which no one could topple. We saw a new Spider-Man come onto the scene, and a Batman trilogy come to an end, with previews of new movies to come for the new year which look amazing, a few new books that have come out and new authors that have emerged onto the scene, and even one character that met her end, and a demi God going to the Greek version of hell only to be continued in a next book. Yes there have been a lot of things that have happened during this past year.

On the person side, this year marks when my wife and I fully got back together and I left a hell of city behind that is Fresno (where the police shoot first and ask questions never), and came to live with her (though that part is still being worked on right now) in the city she lives in right now. Got my own computer laptop system and even got a couple of fictional blogs up and running and keeping them more up to date. Got back in touch with a lot of my friends in person from high school, and still trying to set up that reunion. Still have one person left that I need to get back in touch with, but I have a feeling that won't happen till the new year happens, much to my dismay :(. There's been a lot that's taken place.

There is one thing that I'm going to be doing as a multi part series (though I really don't know if I had started it, but oh well), and that is I'm going to be writing on this blog about my entire life past history. I've got a partial photographic memory (of which my mother doesn't believe that I happen to have though I've proven it several times in the past), and I have to live with all of those memories and I think that it's about time that I wrote everything down and shared them with everyone that actually does read this. Who knows, you might find something out that you never knew before. However I'm not going to go into minute details since that's never needed at all. But from the day that I was born in Stoughton, Ma all the way to now, I'm going to be covering. However for any of the gaps that are in there, that's for reasons where the people or persons would rather didn't get revealed, so those will be getting left out (sorry but that's where I don't want to be hit for libel right there, though I don't know if one can be hit for libel from a blog?).

Anyway, this year has been a big one, and I don't think that the hits will stop coming at all, so let's kick it into the new year with a bang, but make sure that bang isn't one that kills someone, after all we all know that at the stroke of midnight, guns are always fired off, never fails at all.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!

A tragedy that will never be forgotten

I didn't hear about it till after I got off work, but now it's the only thing that you hear about anywhere (aside from what's happening this Friday), if anything it tells you that this country happens to have a one track mind when we're over whelmed with something that takes place and makes us take a good look at ourselves. However for those of you that do read this blog, you'll notice that this is both on the My World side, as well as the political side. Personally I know that one shouldn't cross the sides, but the problem in our country is that those in politics that have not offered up condolences for the families that were involved in this tragedy, have seen something that they can be able to grasp onto and starting hitting up like crazy. I know who those types are, and they're making me sick to my stomach (and that's really hard to do these days), and I know that they're just going to do the blame game the entire time.

Problem is not in how the guns are sold or the ID's that are needed or the background checks, or the mental health state of mind, in truth it's not any one of those things, it's all of that and more combined. However saying that we need to have tighter regulations on guns won't do a damned thing, after all those tighter regulations (doesn't matter if they happen to be at the store or a bloody gun show), will only deal with the guns being sold legally, there's an entire section of gun being sold illegally, and there's no way in the world to regulate that. It's called the Black Market. Now we could always do what they did in MacGuyver and that is ship the firing pins outside of the shipment of the guns and make sure that they're never shipped together. However the problem with that are the guns that already have the pins in the guns that are stolen and resold on the Black Market as well, that's where you have another problem right there.

So in truth, you have no way to completely deal with the guns that find their way into something like this. Plus what also doesn't help is that you have the NRA making sure that the regulations never get tightened even further than they are right now. Plus every time that there's a Presidential election (doesn't matter if it happens to be a reelection or a new President coming in), the first thing that always comes up is dealing with the guns right off the bat. I've seen it for each and every single election that has taken place, and it actually gets tiring to see and hear after a while. After all this past election the nut cases came out and said that Obama was going to be taking gun rights away, in truth he actually had zero intention on doing that at all. However now that something like this has happened, he will be expected to do something, question is what will he do?

Personally for me I have no answers, I honestly wish that I did, but for something like this from a writers stand point, all I can think of is just going back in time and stopping this from ever happening. Problem with this (and mind you I write science fiction), aside from the fact that I can't do it anyway, is that once something like this made media attention as big as it's gotten, it becomes in the rules a red flag zone, meaning that it can't be changed no matter how badly one wants to do it, it's called playing God and that's entirely against the rules in real life, no one can be Him no matter how much we try.

Though on that note, there is one church that thinks they really know the Word of God, and yet they have no bloody "F"ing clue (trying to keep the blog mostly clean here), after all this baptist church has sported posters that says "God loves dead babies", and that "God hats fags" (both of which I really don't like here), and so forth. These people have zero clue to the Word of God, which I honestly believe (and have stated to friends, and might've mentioned once or twice on this blog) has to be understood with the mind of a child, after all the mind of a child is still learning and has a better understanding when it comes to learning everything that they need to learn. Just like I tell my mother (or at least try to tell her), Matthew 18:21-22 (please look it up since I really don't want to write it down here, and besides it might be written differently for your Bible compared to mine), that one must always forgive no matter what. If God forgives everyone of everything no matter what we've done in our lives, then we must do the same. I tried telling my mother that (considering that I had forgiven my wife of everything that she had done against me), and she says that there  are those that can never be forgiven, and that she doesn't think that I'm understanding the passage correctly. Problem on her end is that she wants to understand the Bible with the mind of an adult (she even has a Bible for Dummies book at her place), you can't you can read it with the eyes of an adult, but then you must understand it with the mind of a child, it's the only way that you can. After all Jesus told his followers that they must be like that of a child in order to understand and enter the kingdom of God. Now personally I don't like religion at all period, yes I'm Christian, but I have a faith, not a religion. Religion was created to control others, and to make sure that they don't have free will, but a true faith not only has free will, but a better understanding of everything around them, and a mind to think with.

The GOP (and Republicans in politics in general) don't like the thought of having people around them with a free will and minds of their own, that's why they use religion to try to bring everything under their thumb. However these days people are throwing off the shackles of the controlling GOP and religious institutions out there and making sure that they have a mind of their own and voice of their own to speak with. Only problem is, the GOP refuses to listen to what the people really want and are refusing to do anything that they need to for the country. Instead, they're trying to make sure that they ones that are paying them are getting what they want and not the middle and lower classes. It's made for a completely corrupt government on their side, and the belief is bleeding over to the Dems who aren't taking any money (however if they are, I don't know about it and that's a fact).

Believe me this is something that is going to be fought over for the longest time, and there doesn't seem to be an end light to any of this at all. I wish honestly that there was.

This past VERY WET weekend

This past weekend we saw more rain here in the Bay Area then I could ever remember since back in the early to mid 90's, and that's saying something, considering that just this past Sunday (12/02/12), we went right through a major bad spot, and as you all know, I happen to be homeless and even my temp tent couldn't almost handle what happened that night. Hell after I got out and pulled it all down for the day, my pants went from being blue jeans to black jeans and I was just completely soaked through and through, I had to change into the spare clothes that I was planning on changing into at work sooner than I had thought, believe me, this wasn't something that I was even looking forward to at all when it came to the rain. Even the umbrella that a firefighter had given to me at work broke because of the high winds that were blowing through that morning. Had to buy another one, along with an entire rain suit that I now have for when it rains yet again, plus this means that I will be out in the rain working even when it does rain period.

What doesn't help is that one of the support rods for my tent actually broke towards the end , I did try to fix it, but it wasn't that good of a fix considering that the duct tape that I bought wouldn't stay in place, however the scotch tape I also bought did help some. The only thing is, I'm wondering if I'm going to have to a get whole new tent setup because of the rod, I really hope not, these past two weeks thanks to Thanksgiving and the rain have done hell to my paycheck which I now get at the store via mail only from now on period. However thanks to two of the days that I got screwed over, I was able to write up two more parts for the opening of the Ninja Chronicles: The Return, and I will be continuing to work on that series since I have more people to two more people to bring in, one of whom (spoiler alert) will be stuck in two different time lines. However I'm not going to say the names of the characters that I'm going to bring in at all. Besides I've also got another series that I'm going to be bringing out, one that I've been working on long before a certain movie came out, however it's based in the modern up to date world of today. When I've gotten everything worked out (namely the opening part written up), then I'll be introducing everyone to the new story blog that I'll be putting out. Hope that you will all like it in the end.

Well when you happen to go by my work, considering that we've only got two weeks left at the place (or so it seems, I really don't know any more), when it happens to be raining and you go by the place, and you see someone out there in a green suit, that'll be me, please don't just honk, wave, and then keep driving by, please stop in and check things out,plus if you sing up with them, when we move, they'll let you know where we move to (along with me as well I hope). So come on, check the place out.

Hopefully this week turns out to be waaay better than last week that's for sure.
