A New Beginning
Wow it's been a while. Let's get some questions out of the way.
What's been going on?
Well I moved the family to a new home. Finally have gotten settled in and we are almost no longer in boxes. Now that the personal life and the career is settling down, I decided to get back into blogging and more importantly, creating content on youtube.
What about the podcast?
I may still try to do some solo podcasts but probably not with Jim. Not that I wouldn't love to continue with him but I think he's been pretty busy. We haven't spoken in a while and I gotta admit I miss him. I don't want to bother him but I feel I might have put him off unintentionally. If I did, I do apologize. But if it's just a busy family life that's got him going, I can totally understand that. (It also might be cause I have his Seven Samurai DVD and still haven't watched it. I need to track it down after the move!) My life has been pretty busy as well for the last 6 months. If I don't sell this house for another 15 years, it will be too soon!
What's next?
I'm going to put more time on my YouTube channel. That's where the money's at! Actually, I just love doing video editing. So while there will be content, it will not be as often given that it's pretty time consuming. I'll be blogging again as well.
So if you still have me in your twitter or RSS feed, awesome! Feel free to comment or toss me tweet. The old podcasts will still stay up if you want to hear them.
Away we go!

Dogsplained.
Well this is just fantastic. I know I haven't updated in a quite a while and it will be a bit longer as I am selling my house and trying to get ready to move. Once I'm settled, I plan to start something back up again. We'll see.

Star Wars: TFA = Star Wars: ANH. I'm Calling it. #StarWars
"It's like poetry. They rhyme." -- George Lucas
Sigh.
Ok, before anyone calls me a hater, know I'm probably going to love this movie. I certainly want to. But I believe the clues are there: this is a remake of A New Hope. I base this solely on the trailer images and nothing more. No spoilers, no leaks, just speculation. Could be bullshit. Let's explore.
Both movies show a disaffected youth on a backwater desert world leading a fairly hardscrabble existence. Both have mysterious parentage. Both have rectangular landspeeders with useless windshields. (Rey's is just Luke's on its side.)
Both movies have a member of the empire escape. The droids and Finn both crash land on Jakku throwing Luke and Rey's life into chaos and sends them off on an adventure.
Both Luke and Rey encounter Han Solo and Chewie. Being chased by the empire, they both escape the desert planet and blast into hyperspace.
Leia and Poe, both ranking rebel leaders, get captured and tortured.
The Empire and the First Order both have a planet sized death machine. Both blow up a planet to show they mean business.
Both Rey and Luke mourn a death. Both end up on a green world. Both movies will feature an X-wing and Tie Fighter battle above the death machine which has a very long trench.
Now of course, the devil is in the details. What will the character arcs be?
I guess if you're going to repeat a movie, repeating the one that had the most significant impact on culture in the last 50 years is probably a good target to aim for.

Hey HuffPo: No one cares about a black Stormtrooper except bigoted Leftists
Ah the Huffington Post. Is there anything they won't make up?
John Boyega doesn't need a lightsaber to fight against narrow-mindedness and stereotyping: That's what acting is for.Other links to prove the racism of Star Wars fans go to other articles that interview Patton Oswalt's reaction to the horror of the racism of Star Wars fans reacting negatively to a black stormtrooper.
The 23-year-old British actor, who previously starred in 2011's "Attack the Block," has a big (yet mysterious) role as Finn in "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens." Since his casting was announced, some fans -- influenced, no doubt, by the lack of racial diversity in the cast of the original trilogy -- have complained that a dark-skinned actor shouldn't be playing someone who wears a Stormtrooper outfit.
But in an interview with V magazine, Boyega said that these fans are just going to have to "get used to it."
Problem is, NO ONE has offered a whiff of evidence to support the existence of this wave of racism.
Google "Black Stormtrooper." You will find article after article condemning all the racists out there who are mad about dem darkies messin up our Star Wars. You won't find any of those actual racists these leftists are so mad about.
Because there really aren't any.
Which leads me to my point. Leftists are bigoted against whites.
These reporters never actually produce a stitch of evidence to support the idea that there is even close to a sizable minority that there are racist Star Wars fans out there. But they take this "information" to John Boyega, or Patton Oswalt, or whoever they can stick a microphone in front of and present it as fact. Then ask for a reaction. Boom the story is minted and set in stone as TRUTH.
It's not. It's made up bullshit to keep the narrative going that white people are forever racists. Don't buy it and don't believe it. It's all lies.
This is what they do. This is how you warp the perceptions of the masses who don't take the time to really pay attention. Don't buy it.

Let's Talk Personal Responsibility and The Progressive Atmosphere
So more and more details are coming out on this guy who shot two reporters yesterday. He was an Obama supporter. He had a horrible temper. He called people racists who weren't. Fox News had FBI criminal profiler Mary Ellen O'Toole on yesterday who used a term I found interesting: "Injustice Collectors."
This lead me to thinking about how Progressives, Feminists, Social Justice Warriors, or whatever you want to call them think.
It's never their fault.
Take Obama's solution: More Gun control. Because this was the Gun's fault:
This is the progressive mindset. Things are bad because of a conspiracy of other people. The so-called "wage-gap" is because of the "patriarchy." "Black Lives Matter" because robbing, shootings, drive-by's are all the fault of whitey. Nothing is ever the responsibility of the individual.
And why should it be? If you dine on a steady diet of Social Justice and Progressivism, you see enemies everywhere. Everything bad that happens can be attributed to someone. Usually those who are not them. That's all the knowledge necessary to be a good SJW.
So what happens when an unbalanced soul latches on to an unbalanced ideology? I think this is the worst case scenario but not the last.
As humans, we are the only species capable of self-examination. To overcome our weaknesses by identifying them and taking responsibility for them. When we don't, we stagnate. Regress. Progressivism is nothing of the sort. It's taking us back farther than just our type of government. It's turning human beings into lower forms of life... animals.
Think of how vicious progressives have become on twitter. Labor unions routinely beat up those with whom they disagree with. Black progressivism has turned blacks into looters and thugs at the drop of the hat. An individual reporter blames so much of his problems on other people, he feels perfectly justified in murdering them in cold blood, filming it, and putting out on the internet for all to see.
Typically in history, people knew it was wrong to kill. They may justify it but know to hide it and know they will go to jail if they get caught. But this? To do this so brazenly speaks to the incredible lack of self-responsibility. I can't say exactly what he was thinking but he certainly must've believed that he would be exonerated somehow. A manifesto was sent for God's sake.
Injustice collectors is a perfect term for them. Nothing bad that happens is their fault, it's another injustice inflicted on them from someone else. For this gunman, once the injustice bank was full, the killing was justified. It's as simple as that.
Sick.
If the authoritarian left continues to gain power. If SJW's are constantly catered to, if every verbal misstep, every contrary opinion continues to result in ruined lives and death...we will descend back into animals. No rules, no creativity, no happiness, no art, no technology, no compassion, no nothing except basic survival.
This is more than a political disagreement, this is a way of life that must be stopped. It's a way of thinking that causes nothing but damage. It has to be discredited in every way possible. No more excuses, no more trying to understand them. Destroy their ideas, destroy their power. Dismantle progressives and show the world what damage they do. Enough is enough.

Wednesday at the White House briefing press secretary Josh Earnest used the tragic live broadcasted murders of 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and cameraman 27 year-old Adam Ward by a disgruntled former news reporter identified as Vester Lee Flanigan to call for “common sense” gun control.There is never blame on the perpetrator. From what I can find, he blamed everybody everywhere for every failure in his life.
Warped TV reporter Vester Lee Flanagan exasperated bosses with his 'stiff and nervous' delivery, his inability to use a teleprompter - and by wearing a President Obama badge during an election report, Daily Mail Online can reveal.
Management at WDBJ dubbed the failed newsman the 'human tape recorder' because he frequently parroted what interviewees had told him rather than doing his own journalism.
Flanagan, 41, clashed repeatedly with photojournalists, belittling them in public and intimidating them with his violent temper, according to internal reports.
He was also censured for wearing an Obama sticker while recording a segment at a polling booth during the 2012 US Presidential Election - a clear breach of journalistic impartiality.
The complaints are outlined in court papers seen by Daily Mail Online that include a scathing performance review carried out prior to his termination in Feb 2013.
