DAMN! DANG! DARN!

Okay, right... Okay, damn it. Someone out there please, please, PLEASE tell me why, in the recent years, it has become acceptable for the punctuation to be located on the outside of quotes and parentheses?!?!?! Uh? Why? That is not proper grammar!!

I have discovered something.

I have been trying to find inspiration for the novel.  So I have turned on the TV and the first thing to pop on screen was Ben 10.  I watched an episode and realized something:
When the novels are finished and so are the movie(s) I am going to write children's TV shows.  Why?  Because it is ridiculously easy.  American cartoons are far to fluffy.  I'm not saying that is a bad thing, but in my option they are not showing how smart you actually have to be to be a "hero."
For example, in this episode, what I can only describe as a half-mech half-illithid, attacked the boy named Ben.  He used his watch thingie to change into a "hero" and saved his father, after his house was UTTERLY decimated.  They then move into the center of the city were all hell brakes lose and a bunch of people are shot... at... none of the precision bullets fired from the percision weapons hit anyone, except this one guy who I think got shot, then flew into the air like a bad video game.  Well Ben and  and his family take some super guns and kill the flying robots, really, really, easy.  Then the Mech-Squid shows up and, standing in plain-sight starts to monolog (although in his defense he is invincible and can't be killed, but I didn't know that at this point) Well, long story short, the kids stand around and let him monolog, not even pointing the guns at him.  So after he is done a girl comes in and blows up the corner of the building he is on with her super powers and he falls into some ruble.  No one bothers rushing over and OPENING FIRE ON THE RUBBLE!  For gods sake, I don't care that no one can die but the bad guy, but come on!  Point the damn gun at him and start shooting.  He is there to F***ING KILL YOU!?!? SHOT HIM FIRST!
That is why I love anime.  Sure a lot of it is hilariously over the top, but at least in the more "adult" cartoons, people don't stand around like idiots.
I mean "adult" as in more mature hero's like Full Metal Alchemist not Shin-Chan.

Fear the CURSE!

Fear the curse of the Dark Knight! And people who believe something like a movie and kill people!  Are we going to be blamed when the world ends?  I guess only if Fiend's kill everyone.


Numerous media outlets are citing Morgan Freeman’s car accident as just the latest result of the Dark Knight Curse, which also claimed the life of Heath Ledger earlier this year, killed a stuntman during production, and caused Christian Bale to assault his mother.

While I won’t for a second argue that these four events were anything but the magical result of a movie being made, I haven’t read one single article detailing the far more disturbing Citizen KaneCurse, an even more ominous cloud of supernatural negativity brought into existence by the 1941 cinema classic.

Consider the following events:

– Kane director and star Orson Welles died of a myocardial infarction at his home in Hollywood on October 10, 1985 at the age of 70.

– Joseph Cotton, who played Kane’s friend Leland, contracted throat cancer and died of complications on February 6, 1994 at the age of 88.

– Everett Sloane, who played Kane’s associate Bernstein, committed suicide in 1965 at age 55 after contracting glaucoma.

– William Allend, who played the reporter, died from heart disease in 1997 at the age of 81. More like CURSE disease.

– Ruth Warrick, who played Kane’s first wife, died of complications related to pneumonia in 2005 at age 88. (CUUUURRSEE!!!)

– Actor Yul Brynner died on the EXACT SAME DAY as Orson Welles. I’m sure he saw Citizen Kane at some point.

– Citizen Kane was released on May 1st, 1941; Germany invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, less than TWO MONTHS later. Then World War II happened, which was awful.

– The theme of the film — youthful idealism corrupted by wealth and ego — remains TO THIS DAY a crippling moral force in society.

There you have it. EVERY SINGLE CAST MEMBER from the 67-year-old film is now deceased. But I’m sure it was aaaaaalllll a bunch of coincidences.

Dark Knight Curse. Psh.

I return. I think?

I do not feel compelled at this time to write anything here.  Why?  No one reads it... Yet.  When I start to see people reading and\or commenting on my Blog, then I will be more inclined to update it.  Although I must say as I get closer to finishing the manuscript I will probably be compelled (read: forced) to update this thing every few _hours_ by my co-author.  Till then, I suppose I will _attempt_ to stay up to date, but seeing as I and my co-author are the only ones to see this at the moment, what is the point?  She already knows what is going threw my head.

Here is currently what is going threw my head:
Will this thing ever get done?  It's been to long to write the first Novel, how the hell are we going to do six more?

A saying by me:

"What does it mean when you watch your muse jump out a window when you ask for ideas?"
"Your an asshole?"
"Oh."
