WWWW: Bruce Willis We Need You!

It’s coming! Scientists and movie-makers have been talking about it for years. I’m pretty sure there have even been a couple of false alarms, but it looks like Chicken Little knew what the hell he was talking about. An asteroid might be on a collision course with Earth, set to strike on February 5, 2040. So, what does this mean for us? Should we start building an arc now? Perhaps I’ll see about digging out a bunker in the woods nearby and stocking it with twinkies before they’re all gone. I can’t wait to see what plans are drawn up on how to deflect or destroy it. Where’s the Death Star when we need it?

WWWW: I’m Here! Now What?

One of the main reasons I log on everyday is to promote my writing. In that spirit I try to be as up to date on social networking and what is going on in the vast world web. So, when Triberr appeared, to my eyes, I took a look at it…and didn’t know what the fuck I was seeing. Another author asked me to join her tribe and gave me a list of rules about posting and promoting and tweeting my little heart out. Not only was I confused, I was exhausted by the time I finished looking into it. So, I politely thanked her and said I wasn’t interested at the time. That was in December. Now another author brought it up again (without the list of rules and an already established tribe), so I took the plunge. I’m now a Triberr member in a tribe for Ellora’s Cave authors. What does this mean? I still have no earthly idea, but at least I know my fellow author is new at it too. If I totally screw things up, maybe she won’t notice.

WWWW: Protest the Real Problem

Last week I noticed an article online about people protesting outside of Apple stores because of the unsafe working conditions some Apple product manufacturers use. Okay I’m all for protesting, especially when it comes to human lives being at stake. I’m not saying this isn’t a serious problem, but come on. Apple is just one of many companies using Chinese manufacturers for their products. Why? Because it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than using US companies who are bound by US labor laws. So what’s the real problem? First, the Chinese government’s apparent refusal to have laws in place to protect their citizens from unsafe working conditions. Second, every nation’s companies who continue to use the Chinese manufacturers. So go ahead and protest Apple all you want, but then walk around your house and check labels. There are a hell of a lot more companies we need to protest too if we really want to see change.

WWWW: It Makes Me Ill…

There are many subjects I’m passionate about and willing to argue over with anyone. Sometimes I agree with the opposing opinion and can be swayed, sometimes not. However, there is one subject that is my major hot button. I will never agree that it is in any way okay or excusable to cheat. Infidelity is such a serious issue in my mind, it makes me ill to even read about it in fiction. Seriously, physically ill. So, this week’s WWWW finding is one I could barely stomach. By now I’m sure ya’ll have heard of the White House intern who fucked the president…oh I mean the newest one. According to Mimi Alford, she had an affair with JFK, starting with losing her virginity in (gag) his wife’s bed! Honestly, I’ve never cared one way or the other about JFK. I haven’t studied enough of his political history to know if the world would have been a better place without the infamous bullet that took off the back of his head. But now that this has come to light I definitely have a strong opinion of the man, and it isn’t a good one. 
Could she be lying? Of course, but why? After all these years surely there’s another subject she could have written about if this wasn’t true and all she wanted was a book deal. I would think just being an intern during JFK’s reign would be enough. Does it really matter? Well, probably not to most of my generation. However, the ones who can recall exactly where they were and what they were doing when news of his death hit them may be struck again by this news. He has become more than a political figure. He is the icon of a generation.
To me this news is devastating not because of who he was, but because of what he represents to the world. Here is yet another American politician who simply refused to hold to the sanctity of marriage. Yes, it’s a personal issue that has nothing to do with their job as a politician, but what about their integrity? What about the trust we as the American public place in these bastards who can’t even remember the sacred vows they made to the most important person in their lives? If the President of the United States is willing to overlook his promise to his wife, why the hell would he care about promises made to complete strangers? 

WWWW: Child Molesters Beware

The above video was brought to my attention by an article about music genres. Now, I’ll admit I’d never heard of Skrillex before, nor do I know how they should or want to be classified. But all that aside, what an awesome fucking video! I absolutely love this one and think it should be made into a full length movie. Yes, there is definitely a good horror novel in there somewhere.

WWWW: A Sign of the Times?

I’ve decided to try some semblance of a schedule on my blog. So, for now we’re going to begin with World Wide Web Wednesdays. Every Wednesday I’ll post something funny, crazy, or interesting I’ve found on the web. You’ve been warned. 


Those of us who have lived in a large city our whole lives aren’t necessarily surprised to learn of drug deals happening on busy street corners late at night. But, what if they’re advertised? This sign, posted in the Houston Chronicle, almost looks like an ad right? I’m sure it is in fact an angry neighborhood resident sick of the lack of response from HPD about this known spot. Heck, I can drive around the city and point out where to buy drugs and pick up hookers too, but I don’t think helping the uninformed is the way to go.
