my time on terra firma

I haven't written anything deep in a while because frankly, I've been a complete lazy ass. That being said, it's not like I have nothing of any real importance to say; contrary to popular belief, I do have thoughts that transcend the here and now. I think about all things existential and transcendental...whether I want to or not. But as I said before, I'm a lazy ass, so getting around to getting these thoughts out of the space between my ears took some time. I’ll be the first to admit that 2010 held high expectations. Expectations that turned out to be a bit too high. And I’m not just talkin’ personal. I’m talkin’ global. Things were supposed to be bigger and better in 2010 whether it was verbalized collectively or said as a silently as if one prays to one’s deity.

Nerd. Out.

I really enjoyed this; gotta give Firebreather it's props! Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: Early Review: Firebreather Movie via ComicVine Site Mashup by G-Man on 11/23/10 Cartoon Network is airing two comic related movie events this week. I reviewed Young Justice last week and now it's time to look at Firebreather , airing Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at 7 p.m. ET/PT. This is Cartoon Network's first original CGI movie event based on the comic by Phil Hester . For those not familiar with the comic, it deals with Duncan and tells the story of a teenager discovering he's different . The story begins with Duncan already aware he has powers and coping with a move to a new town with his mother. Typical teen angst ensues while Duncan deals with his mom nagging him to focus on his homework, school bully Troy making his life miserable and figuring out what's going on with his new friend, Ken Rogers . What makes this teen-story different is Duncan

The church has generated controversy with its confrontational and offensive demonstrations. "God Hate Fags" has become an unofficial calling card of the group, a phrase they say the world "needs to hear more than it needs oxygen, water and bread." Another Westboro sign, "Thank God For Dead Soldiers," is frequently displayed at military funerals and has created its own share of outrage. In a promotional flier for the upcoming protest, the church references John and Elizabeth Edwards's son Wade, who died in a car crash in 1996: Read More... More on Elizabeth
