Shut Up and Listen
Easter Is Here; Whoopee Shit! (Pt. 2 In My Intermittent Series On Religion)
Easter is upon us once again. Who cares?
	I’m an atheist and could care less about who killed whom two thousand years ago. I find it utterly disgusting that North America is ruled over by Christian holidays. I understand a hundred years ago or more because at that point the majority of people were “good god-faring citizens.” Now most of them will just use the four-day weekend as an excuse to jerk off for an extra forty-eight hours. I personally will be sitting in my room reading, watching TV, listening to music and . . . well, that’s it. I may emerge every hour or two to get food or use the bathroom or to rant a little to my family. Y’know, fun, fun, fun!
	Now on to the Religion aspect of the holiday. My opinion has become that Jesus was probably a local terrorist against the Romans. He was killed because he threw one too many bottles of wine with a lit cloth in the top into government buildings. That makes a hell of a lot more sense, doesn’t it? Jesus was a terrorist. 
	Or maybe he was just a hippie. A non-violence protester. That makes a bit more sense than my previous statements. It ties in more with the love and peace message of Jesus. The Man (Romans) had to silence our Brother! Make love, not crucifixes, man!
	Or maybe Jesus was who people say he was: the son of god. HA! Good one, folks! Now stop me if you’ve heard this one . . .
	Remember what I’ve said from day one: the message is the important thing. It is the Truth! Follow it, not the “facts” of the Bible.

A Summery Of The Past Week (Or Ah, Fuck This Week Sucked, Man!)
Yeah, this week sucked. 
	I was thrown into a huge depression over chicks and my lack there of. The girl that I’ve mentioned a few times before called me “creepy” in a serious manner that doesn’t quite hold the same appeal as it did when many people were calling me it. It’s one thing to be widely regarded by people you have know no romantic interest in as creepy, but the girl you’ve had a HUGE crush on for years? (Yes, years) That hurts.
	Next, my co-writing project with Lunchbox may have fell through. Confusions over plot issues and characters. Basically, the overused creative differences. It’s still a go as of now, but just don’t expect to see anything for awhile.
	A confusion with Lunchbox and Tubby Bitch had them go off to McDonald’s without me the other day, so I spent most of the lunch surfing the ’Net. Lunchbox forget his bag at the mall and remember just when he got back to school and had to go back and get it. He was fifty minutes late for drama. 
	I’ve just been in an overall bad mood, too. I don’t know why, but it’s been a real contributor to my bad week.
	I finally saw High Fidelity and it wasn’t as good as the book. I think it did a very good job of staying true to the book and was really just a condensed version of it. If they made the movie about double the time, then it would have matched up to the book. I give the movie three-and-a-half stars and the book four-and-a-half. 

The Poetry Experience
Last Thursday I wrote my second poem ever that wasn’t for school. And then on Friday I wrote a bunch more.
	They are free-style weird things. I essentially wrote the first thing that popped into my head and didn’t bother to edit it as it came out. One of my poems is actually in the form of a song. Verses, chorus, the whole shebang! There’s also my epic poem that I cannot describe. It is, as of now, 2903 words long and I plan to make it so many more. It involves every pop culture reference that relates to me somehow. Some may be disturbed by my poems, but all I can say is “Eh . . .”

Let My People Go!
China released the crewmen. Bush actually did something right. He’s still a Redneck.
	He caved, people! China wanted an apology and they did it! China could have asked for Britney Spears and would have got it! The US got bitchified by China and claim it to be victory. China was able to piss on their heads and call it rain. I commend China and hope they keep the plane.
X-Man And Joe Quesada
I am a true believer above all else when it comes to comics. 
	I am loving what Joe Quesada has been doing at Marvel except for one thing: the cancellation of X-Man. He claims to be trying to diversify Marvel and make it better and gets rid of one their best titles and lets crap like Excalibur and Blink get made. I know good comics and those ain’t good comics. My view on Marvel has always been negative on cancellations. They cancel any book that isn’t in the top 50 it seems (hell, some that are in the top fifty) when any other company lets those titles go on. I can’t remember seeing Transmetropolitan or Starman in the top 100 many times and yet they still exist (Starman is ending in June though, after 70 issues). Marvel has got to let good titles that aren’t selling better than X-titles live on and stop producing shitty mini-series and one-shots. Looking forward to Morrison, Casey, Quitely and Churchill on the X-titles though.

See you all next week!
