Used to be a superhero, I would swoop down...
This week, we have Star Boy.
First Appearance: 1965
Real Name: Thom Kallor
Powers: Increase the mass of any object or person, thus making them heavier
Origin: He was born in the 30th century on the planet Xanthu. He was born with the powers. He gained other powers for a bit and joined the Legion Of Super-Heroes. Eventually, he lost those others, but retained his natural ones.
My Thoughts: Star Boy was always rather one dimensional in my mind until around the Darkseid Saga. Then he lost the crewcut, grew a beard, and a bit of a personality. And how could you NOT like the guy who managed to snag Dream Girl as his girlfriend, eh? In later re-booted incarnations of the Legion, he's lost all the personality, and was never used in quite the same way. In the most recent versoin, they've made him black, and given him a cape, things which are not earth shattering, I suppose, but the new one, he just isnt' Star Boy to me. Hell, this whole new Legion is really the Legion to me. The times they are a-changin indeed.

Birthdays are like underwear: they can be wild and exciting, or just plain stinky, they can creep up on you or feel like a pain in the butt. And when you've had 'em long enough, there's some sagging, wrinking, and a general breakdown of elasticity.
And a sore throat, I got a wardrobe...
I was over at thier place a few hours yesterday. When i got home, later in the evening, my throat got a little scratchy, no big deal. When i woke up this morning, though, the whole left side of my throat was RAW and hurt, and I had a headache. I took some Advil and dayquil and went back to bed for another hour or so. The Dayquil helped quite a bit. And because of that, I didn't really feel like typing too much more than I did.
I hope to knock this outta me before it gets a chance to fully manifest itself. Warm weather colds are THE worst kind. Blech!
On an up note, though, I did find this webpage! Whoo-Hooo! SO that kinda makes up for the whole sick thing, I guess.

Bitchin 'bout your poodles and your pills...
At 22, he up and moved from this, the only home he's ever known, to Los Angeles. Didn't know a soul out there, didn't have a job, met a roommate online, they talked for a bit before he moved out, and then he lived with this near stranger for a while. Got a job there, made friends, is doing quite well.
I am envious of him. I never had the kind of balls it takes to just leave everything you know and go somewhere where you know no one and nothing. But he did it. I'm envious, and proud of him.
That's him right there above. Oh and I titled the post what I did because Scott is...well, we call him Poodle. Cause he hyper, and yippy, and always talking and always moving, and going from subject to subject to subject. Oh and he's obvioiusly gay too. So that's why Poddle's in the title.

Something quite disturbing filled the air...
Today, I went to do this to Fresh N Tasty, as I do every day, and the site was blocked! why was it blocked? PORN! There's not porn on there (at least none that I recall seeing). Hell, my Monday's Hot Shirtless Guy photos are more risque. But now, it's blocked at work. Ya gotta just wonder what made them block that particular blog. And why right then?
Then, I went to one of my favorites Persian Guy and there was nothing. A blank bckground and empty blog. I thought, oh well, Blogger on the rag yet AGAIN, and it'll be back up soon. I went there tonight, and it was the same, but with one post. He was explaining that his ex wife found the blog, and had commented or something, and so he deleted it. the enitre blog.
I was shocked. He had such a richly detailed blog, with wonderful stories about his family history, or perhaps an old movie, or bragging about his two wonderful kids, or complaining about the job, or just how his life was going. It was really a day to day kind of online journal thing, much more so than the blatant superficiality that is mine.
I loved the stories and tales, and felt that I got to "know" Jim, even if only through the comments that we posted on each other's blogs and the posting he made on his own. I can't say I disagree with his reasons for making that decision, but on a personal level, I'm saddened to see it all gone.
Jim, I don't know if you still come here, but if you do, as I said, I understand why you're doing this, and you gotta do what is in the best interest of you and your kids. But on a purely personal, selfish level, I'm gonna miss your regular posts. If you decide to take up blogging again, please, let me know. I'll be checking into the old blog just to see, but if you move somewhere else, I wanna read there too. If you don't, then I wish you the best of luck. You've got my email (remember the one you sent me whilst on your medication from the wisdom teeth?), so please keep in touch.
Even though we never met and I've only been reading your blog for, what, three months maybe, I feel that I've lost a friend, that's how close i felt to you. Just from your posts.
Nonetheless, I wish the absolute best, man. In whatever you do. You are truly a wonderful, caring, beautiful man, insdie AND outside. May fortune shine on you, and the boys.
For those you who never read his blog, it is truly your loss. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about here, then please allow me this moment of self-indulgent selfishness to let a friend know I miss him.

He's a long haired guy from England....
It's basically long-ish hair on a guy. I think that is SO hot. Now I don't mean hair that's down to thier waists, if I wanted that I'd lust after Crystal Gayle (geez, I'm really dating myself with that one, eh?) Hair that cascades down onto and perhaps a bit over thier shoulders is what I'm talking about. Although, nice bob or pageboy works as well.
In addition, on the entire opposite end of the spectrum, a head shaved bald, particularly on black men, is pretty durn hot too! But that's a whole other post, I think.
This guy is named David Jensen. I have no idea who he is, nor do I remember where I found his photos (it's amazing what you can discover at work with Internet access and too much time on your hands), but he's got a pretty good hairthing...and a pretty hot body and face to go with it!
Maybe this will clear things up. Maybe not. Blame the Polt Chaos.

Down the block, eating food at Luigi's...
To reward myself for my sensible lunch, I decided on the way home to get pasta stuff and make that. It has been an age since I made pasta. Pasta makes me all warm and tingly, I love the taste of it. So I got the sauce, the raviolis, even some meatballs. I came home, made the whole bag of ravioli, and ate half of it, filling myself up.
Thursday, when I checked my blood sugar first thing in the morning, it was 203. Normally, it's about 150-160 and SHOULD be under 120. But pasta...well, pasta plays all kinds of havoc with the blood sugar. Figures, since I love pasta so.
Anyway, later that day, after work Phoenix and I went to Ruby Tuesdays to eat. And as our watiress seated us, I was struck by her...well not beauty really. But she was attractive. Blonde hair tied back, not too tall. Not a skinny Aushweitz survivor looking type either. Girlfriend wasn't fat, but she did have some meat on her. Brown eyes with lashes to die for. I was strangely...drawn to her.
Yes, I can imagine your surprise, as I was quite surprised as well. And Phoenix also. Okay, maybe he wasn't AS surprised. he just shook his head slightly and chalked it all up to the Polt Chaos. ("Polt Chaos", noun: Immediate area surrounding Polt where the natural laws of luck and chance do not fucntion, and choas theory abounds. "If something weird happens around Polt, don't worry. That's just the Polt Chaos.") All the rest of the evening, I saw her watching me. And not in that freakish oh-my-god-he's-a-stalker kind of way a lot of people watch me.
She wanted me.
She spoke pretty much only to me. Wouldn't have known Phoenix was even there. She asked if I wanted my glass refilled, ignoring his. She asked me if I was finished with my plate, taking Phoenix's without even asking him. She looked at me, and her eyes caressed me. She winked at me...or had an eyelash in her eye. At any rate, I knew she would have given me her phone number, if only she wasn't afraid I'd reject her. That's the only reason she didn't give it to me. But I could tell she wanted to.
Or it could have been my imagination, what do I know anyway?
But what FAScinated me about her, I finally figured out, was her hair. Not only was it all pulled behind her head, which is of no real interest to me, but there was a strand of it that hung down on the left side of her face, reaching to her chin. And it wasn't an accidentally fallen piece of hair, she had set it there. And constantly flipped her head back to move it, or pushed it back with her fingers.
I don't know what to say, I've got a fetish for hairthings. Normally, it's hairthings on guys, but in this case, wow, she was working it, and I was loving it. ( I have GOT to get laid again..and soon...I'm starting to check out chicks......)
Oh, and while eating my salad there, I ripped into my lip again with my teeth, just milimeters from the first place. ARGHH! Now it'll get evn BIGGER and SORER! I HATE when I do that.

Problems have solutions, a lifetime of fucking things up...
Will they do that? HELL No. What will the do instead? Well, we're gonna give Americans a $100 check, and we're gonna give a 2 month "tax free" holiday, meaning no Federal Taxes on gas for 2 months. WTF?
$100??? Oh yeah, thanks a LOT, that'll fill upmy tank, what 3 times or so? So I'm good for a month. WHy is it instead of going after the PROBLEM (the greed of the oil companies), they're going to balloon the already monsterous deficit by reduce the revenue they bring in and taking MORE out of the budget for these stupid 100 checks!
Where are the fiscal Republicans now? Wasn't a part of the Republican Contract ON America in 1994 about getting a balanced budget and cutting the deficit???? Course, I guess you only want to do that when you're the minority party. When you're in power, hell, bely up to the trough like all the other pigs and eat your fill of money and pork! I mean, it's not THIER money, now is it? And they've all got money to begin with, so they're not going to be hurt when time comes to pay this unGodly deficit they've given us!
LORD, this crap torques me off! I hope the American public wakes up! I don't hold high hopes, cause the American public is short sighted and stupid, but hopefully in November, things will change!

I got this not because I think I'm Superman (although I DO think I'm super, man!), but because of my love of comic books. When i think of comics, I think of the Superman S, so that's what I got tattooed. Representing my love of comics.

But even so, thank you everyone who did NOT Pick Pickler. Now she can go back to her redneck home in North Carolina and get on with her life: getting knocked up, then maybe getting married, sitting around the house all day in a beehive and mu-mu, getting fat and collecting food stamps. And maybe reading a book or newspaper or something. Or just a matchbox, don't want to tax what little brain power she may have.

Save what's left for the deaf...
Oops, almost forgot to do one of these....sinus thingee and all, you understand. Anyway, this week, I'm taking us back to 1987, the fall. I know it was fall cause it was a little cold, I had a grey hooded sweatshirt on. I was driving two of my friends, Duff, and Jim back into town, I have no idea where we were. For some reason I don't recall, we had my parents blue station wagon. they were looking through the tapes I had brought along and found the Brothers In Arms tape by Dire Straits.
We put it in the player and started listening. We got halfway through Money For Nothing, with all of us singing it. I pulled off the road onto this side road that went off through fields. There were a few houses off in the distance. I pulled the car over, turned the blinkers on. They both got out of the car. I set the tape back to the beginning of Money For Nothing, and turned the volume way up. Then, the three of us stood outside the car, and sang that at the top of our lungs. It started to rain slightly, sprinkling and such. I put my hood up, but none of us went back into the car.
And there we stood, three fools in the rain, singing way off key, and all three doing our best air guitar impersonations. We all thought it was the coolest thing. If anyone else saw it, I'm sure they realized what stupid kids we were.
Ah, the folly of youth.

Hidden behind the idols you adore...
Katharine (I Have Nothing): The yellow dress was not at all flattering, but my GOD could she show any more cleavage? Well, I guess you gotta use whatever you go to win this thing. I did not like this song, nor her type of singing, but she CAN sing. Once again, I think she could take the whoel prize. But I gotta wonder what the heck the juges were thinking!
Elliott (A Song For You): Still looks uncomfortable, not much stage presense at all. Didn't like the song, nor the way he sang it. The song was beyond him. Paula's crying? He moved her?? He's a 'handsome' performer??? Is she drunk again?
Kellie (Unchained Melody): If I wasn't already diabetic, her "aw-shucks"-ness is so sickeningly sweet, it would make me diabetic. She was off again, nasaly, flat, not with the orchestra, just all over the map. Simply horrid.
Paris (The Way We Were): She can sing, but this song seemed a bit too big for her. It was like a little girl singing a big girl song. Not her best job.
Taylor (Just Once):I don't care what he says, this guy is 45 years old. Taylor has charisma? Is Foster blind as well? Don't like the song. But at least he didn't act like a drunk uncle at a wedding reception, finally! Could have been his best performance, but it DID sound like a karoke performance. Not a bad performance, but not good enough for htis stage of Idol.
Chris (Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman): Don't like the song. Not much of a Brain Adams fan. But Chris bought a rock aspect to it, that helped. Loved his performance. Now HE has charisma. I'd become a woman if he'd love me! Gave me goosebumps.
So, the bottom three were Elliott, Kellie, and Paris, which truly pains me to say, cause I like Paris much more then Taylor. Kellie truly had the worst performance. And for the second week in a row. If she's not kicked off after this week, I don't what it will take to get her off. Maybe she'd have to bit the head off a live baby and spit it into the audience, that might get her kicked off. Or maybe make a negative comment about Bushie, that's surely gonna piss off her NASCAR redneck hillbilly fans.
Honestly, if there's any justice in the world, she will be the next to go.

Man I aint changed, but I know I aint the same. - The Wallflowers
It's the new generation I want to do...
It was "Best Of Both Worlds" where Picard is captured and turned into a Borg. Man, I remember when these episodes first aired. It was like the last episode of the Third Season and we had to wait until the first episode of the Fourth Season that fall for the ending.
I was watching that episode with my neighbor and friend Jeff. And when Locutus threatened the Federation, at the very end, the camera panned down and into Rikers face so that it was looking up into his face, and the tense music reached a cresendo, and he said, simply, "Mr. Worf, fire." And the screen went black!
Jeff and I both yelled NOOOOO at each other! We didn't want to wait until the fall! That episode is allwe could talk about for weeks. Man, THAT was TV at its best! If you saw the episode at the time, I'm sure you know the feelings I'm talking about. Seeing it in reruns or on DVD just doesn't carry the same weight.
I was suprised though, to see it was made in 1990. I can't believe it's been 16 years since then! Geez, time DOES fly!

You're a headache, in a suitcase, you're a star...
This morning, when the alarm went off, it felt like my right eyeball was gonna pop right outta my head, there was so much pressure. I got up and took a Claritan, which helped previously. I thought I might just try getting ready and seeing if I felt better after I got ready for work....
And then, I thought, ya know, fuck em. They don't wanna give me a raise, I don't wanna give them a day's work when I don't feel well. So I called in and went back to bed. And it's a good thing I did, cause I got up about 900, and about 1130, and my head was still hurting. I went back to bed each time after using the bathroom, and didnt get outt abed for good until about 230. Yeah, i know it was a wasted day, but I really don't think I could have gone to work anyway.
When I did get up, I did feel better, the headache had subsided. I guess I have little recourse now but to make an appointment with the doctor (groan) and see what he says about it all.
But I'm just glad I now feel better.

Used to be a superhero, I would swoop down...
Today, I give you Nightwing!
1st Appearance: July 1984
Real Name: Richard "Dick" Grayson
Powers: Second only to Batman in fighting skills and detective abilities; utility belt and various items and vehicles
Origin: Raised in the circus until parents killed. Adopted by Batman, and trained to become Robin. After a time, changed his name and costume to that of Nightwing.
My Thoughts: This is Robin as an adult. He's got all of Batman's skills, but he's much more socialable. He was a founding member of the Teen Titans, led them through most of thier incarnations. Founding member of the reformed Outsiders, and led them as well. He's very much a leader, and take charge kinda guy, but personable. I've always liked him, even when he was still Robin. And in his own title over the past decade or so, the writers have done an excellend job taking him out of Batman's shadow and making him into a man of his own. Nightwing is no longer just the back half of "Batman and -"
