Yo ho, yo ho a pirates life for me

So we have a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie out, supposedly a stand alone, they've killed off Will & Elizabeth (okay they aren't dead Will has taken Davey Jones place and Elizabeth is his Baby Mama raising their young son) and have Jack Sparrow and Barbosa running off to find the Fountain of Youth.  And being a sci fi fan I'm going to go and watch it, I've watched most of them usually on cable, but sometimes in the Theaters.
Before I forget, tomorrow somebody has SWORN that the world will end that's it, its in the bag infinitum has become finite. Harold Camping(thanks The Last Word) with his old dusty behind has SWORN on everything that is Holy and Crackpotty that on May 21, 2011 yes Saturday(echo, echo, echo). Pffft dude did I win the lottery recently? Has anybody rolled through and fixed everybody's problems? Nope, so at the moment the world sucks for the MAJORITY of its citizens and you really think its all gonna end? Please where's the false feeling of euphoria, the wool being pulled over our eyes right now the world seems to be going down the crapper.

Just wanna say, on Sunday I'm making drinks for everybody who DIDN'T drink the kool aid saturday night. BUT if it is all over I wish that I would have watch Pirates tonight so that tomorrow I could have been working on the review

Bless me father for I have sinned

In the beginning there were humans and vampires. The vampires were fast, powerful, and vicious, but the humans had one weapon The SUN, but it was not enough. The wars ranged on for centuries until the humans fell back into cities under the protection of the church. The church then trained a new secret weapon to combat the vampire. They were trained to fight like vampires swift, merciless, powerful under the command of the clergy they were the Priests

Taking in a little piece of midsouth history

I often admit to kind of being captain oblivious at times. Yes I live in Memphis, Tn a music, food, and sitting along the muddy Mississippi part of the Soul of the South. Now if you read my twitstream you may notice me check in around Beale street, or in/near various other midsouth Landmarks but here's the sad part. I've rarely actually enjoyed them I've always been working. Yes I've been on Beale a million times in the last 4 years but except for a few times at the Pig or Rum Boogie rarely do I eat down there. And I haven't been to a music spot since 04.

I laughed I had passed by Tom's BBQ a million times and never set foot in the door until recently(yet when I lived in south jersey I used to visit all the famous philly spots), fixed the printer at the Mesquite Chop house but never sat down for a drink or meal. So today, just to settle my rumbling stomach(since I forgot to eat more than a box of raisins and a banana last night) I decided to get lunch while working off front and Monroe. One of the attendants at the garage I was working at suggested a little deli within walking distance. "The Little Tea Shop", I actually didn't notice the name at first I just saw the sign that said lunch. Looked around not sure if I should just sit down anywhere or if I should wait to be seated(I hate being presumptuous, my mother taught me manners), was directed to sit anywhere and was waiting on by a well informed server. I've actually worked in a few restaurants in my day and I like waist staff who are not only personable but also give you the days special without trying to order for you(unless asked, some days I do take recommendations). He joked about the soup of the day(Lentil)he said "we have a soup of the day but its too hot for soup" took my order(chicken salad sandwich to go with potato salad) and offered me water even after I declined a drink.

It's Humpday, hmm did I forget something last night?

Yeah last night I was supposed to do the "Priest" review, I got a little side tracked so I'll do it today. I'm on my way oy to Turrel, Ar so I'll have some keypad tapping time, not a lot but some.

Okay break in my blogging buffering

Turrell is done, so we're headed back to Memphis it didn't take too long, but its still the boonies. May eat lunch ain sure yet, the sunrise omelet from subway was pretty good. Yeah have to do priest, may start it as a draft in Blogger-droid then finish it on my desktop. This is random and discombobulated I know but its a quick shot. More to come

"Welfare Queen" Thou art Loosed

Just to get this out of my head so it's not rattling around all day, there is an article flying around from Psychology Today(in this case is was yesterday ;) but I digress) piling on black women and while I know my sisters are rightly enraged, I'm hoping it doesn't burn out too fast because this is just the begininng. See that article, it was a job application. Wait, a job application? Yup see in hard economic times(for the masses, not the mighty) while it would be more beneficial to make things better for the masses so that all could live better it's far cheaper and expedient to create or recycle some mythical boogie who's name and face everybody knows(or vaguely remembers) so that when you bring it up poor memory but "not wanting to seem uninformed" will buttress your non existent argument. Somebody is going to have to give those arguments some validity so they can't just be chalked up to hatred and bigotry, it always sounds more official when a learned person chimes in and agrees with your that or somebody who likes like who you are talking about in a less than polite manner.

People are hurting right now and for many it isn't their fault it's just that they got caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe they did miss a few signs that could have helped them prepare a little bit better but they don't want to hear that, they want to know who to blame. They want to know who's fault it is they can't feed their families, and why all this time they put it "doing it the right way" isn't being rewarded like they had been hearing about since they were a little kid in school. And of course you already  had this GREAT patsy lined up too but all the sudden out of no where he opened his shirt and exposed that "S" on his chest and your reeling.


In support of the "30 day Erotic Challenge"

Now let me reiterate before we even get started "I am not personally participating in the 30 day Erotic Challenge". I'm good but I am not metaphorically gifted enough to do 30 days about sexual topics without using a cuss word. On top of that at this moment in time my "erotic offerings" number as 1(and that was more suggestive than erotic) as well as one in draft. So since I am woefully underskilled in this event I am going to point you to some ladies who are inspirations to me when it comes to blogging.

Almond Joy

Kween Kiwi

Mahogany Dymond

Diva Processor

Now if any of my other friends are also doing this I will either update this blog or add them in the comments later, trust me take a moment to read their offerings you won't be disappointed they have some wild topics set up for this challenge. Good luck everybody and enjoy

Contemplating on a quiet day

As is customary I haven't typed word one on my "Priest" review, no not even the title(though I will admit it will be a little cliched) doesn't mean I won't do it tonight I just haven't as of 4:45 central. Today was a lite day for me all I've done is dig up some crap in the shed, slap a card in a puter and let it run. We've just gotten a new "shop" computer, haven't transfered any data over to it yet but its just a matter of time.

I've done a little bit of "house cleaning" on my blog adding jump breaks to some of my screen eaters(and thus cutting down some of my feed sizes) and hopefully making my blog more reader friendly. I apologize like I said I kind of stumbled into this, yes 6 years ago I started my blog on 360 but even then I was catch as catch can inspiration as it came to me. I'm thinking of looking up the GN/Manga for priest to see what they cut out for the movie. Theirs was a slightly different take on vamps, not unpleasant some of the basic vampire abilities and weaknesses were still there just different. This isn't the review so I'll get indepth there.

Trying to keep this as a quick shot I've gotten a lot of views the last few weeks so thanks for stopping by.

Oh I've found my first "issue" with the "Official Blogger App" no drafting.  If I post it its posted, no pauses for HTML edits, picture placement, nada so it seems blogger droid still has its uses. If its a quick shot il do it here, if I feel wordy blogger droid til they update this one just glad it posts to my blog
