I went to last nights TNA Impact tapings held at the Maverick Center in West Valley City. As a result of the great show that was put on and the good time I had at the great show, I am somewhat gassed this morning. So, I'm going to post this. This video articulates many of the concerns that I have about the NSA and the recent revelations about their data collection.
At this
time of year many writers reflect on the past year and the things that they
have done. I think this is stupid. Looking backward results in you having a
skewed perspective on what you have done.
Also you can run into shit.
Rather
than looking backward like someone who enjoys running into things, I choose to
look forward to what will be. This is
the Best Of 2013!!!
And yes,
I've done something like this before and this is a recycled bit. Shut up!

A brisk
wind whips around the roof of the high rise I find myself on, adding coldness
to a dark day, a dark day the mid-afternoon sun is powerless to make
lighter. The rooftop is cold and dark
but the offices of the charity housed in this building are darker.
Volume 11

This is an insult to the fans of TNA. I dare say that if most of the fans of this company, including myself, showed up to work in a state where we couldn't perform our work, we'd be fired. If I showed up to work drunk, I'd be fired.
Due to the continuous earthquakes occurring in the eastern regions of Japan since Mar. 11, 2011, the power companies in Japan have encouraged everyone to cooperate by conserving as much energy as possible as it is feared there will not be enough power supply. Based on the current situation, we have decided to shut down the game servers temporarily, and therefore to suspend services of FINAL FANTASY XIV, FINAL FANTASY XI, and PlayOnline temporarily.
The services will be temporarily suspended for at least a week starting on Mar. 13, 2011 3:00 (PDT). We will provide an update regarding the reinstatement of the service as additional information becomes available. In connection with the temporary suspension of services, players will not be billed for any PlayOnline service throughout the April billing cycle. Additional information regarding this matter will also be posted as it becomes available.
In the event of a natural disaster, travel experts say, there are few rules or regulations about what airlines must do. This time, most carriers are waiving ticket change fees and offering the chance to rebook, but for now only for those who delay their trips by a week or two. For their part, the airlines say they're going above and beyond what federal regulations require them to do. "While the policies tend to be fairly standardized, how and when and how long you apply them should be variable," says Ed Martelle, a spokesman for American Airlines ( AMR: 6.56, -0.05, -0.75% ) . "No two crises are alike."
When natural disasters prevent people from utilizing it's services, Square Enix offers refunds, no questions asked. When natural disasters prevent people from utilizing it's services, the airline industry makes you jump through hoops to get a rebooking. It's good to know that Square Enix treats it's customers better than the airline industry.
Nothing
There. See? See how pleasant that is? How calm, how free, how cleansing nothing can be. See? Now do you see why I avoid people? Why I do everything in my power to avoid people? Because if you had it your way I would have filled that space up with clutter and complications and bullshit, not my bullshit, YOUR bullshit. You would have turned nothing into something. Ah, pleasant calming nothing.
Take your normal superhero origin story. Guy gets powers, guy realizes he has powers, guy goes out to save the world. Now factor this in: the guy has a score to settle.
Everybody wonders what it is that makes them who they are. The Hawk thought that question was securely answered. However a meeting with a boy in a hospital causes him to question everything. Why he is, who he is, what he is, and even if he is.
Eleven years after the events of Consequences Of Mayorust, The Hawk finds himself dealing with many of the same issues that many of us deal with: A less than satisfying job, co-workers of variant annoyance, and a romantic life is unhealthy at best. Thrust into all this is Madison Medina, a well meaning woman who's adversarial relationship with The Hawk morphs into a kind of friendship. Madison, in addition to learning more about herself and her abilities, help to reveal deeper problems inside the organization both she and The Hawk work for.
In every workplace there is a person. A person who doesn't talk to anyone, has walled themselves socially, and seems openly hostile to everyone. Every workplace has this person, even if you don't know of such a person, they're there. The Black Robin Christmas Carol is the story of one of these people. It delves into who this person is, why this person is, and how this person can change for the better.
There is a story. A story of pain, a story of loss, a story of unspeakable horrors, a story that has not been given it's proper attention. Some are ignoring this story. Some are unaware of this story. Some know of this story but are complicit in it's darkness. This is a story that must be told. Told so that the good can stop it and the bad can feel shame for it.
When I thought up thig blog, the name I first thought up was "Random Bullshit". Quickly I recognized that this name would put some people off. Then I thought of the name "Random Bull****". That seemed to be to much clutter. Then I was inspired with the name that dons this blog today.
