its been a lot more than a while...

I have been undergoing some changes as a person the last several months, the last post that I posted was not an intent to spam anyone, and I apologize to those who feel that it was, I have no affiliation what-so-ever with pinwall or anyone who works for them.

I have taken up a new model in my life, and that is to be a hard-working, attentive father, my daughter and I are getting along great, I stayed home with her for almost 3 months and cared for her daily as my wife worked, she and I got close, and now, even though she is still young, we get along astoundingly well.

I have grown weary of the city in which I call home, my heart feels much like a plant uprooted and placed on a stone far from the hole from where it was dug. My roots reach out trying to replant and continue to grow, but they cannot penetrate the cold hard stone.

I hope in the next 6 months to be away from here (it's hard not to sound depressed with that line, although I truly am not) My wife and I will be making it our intent to move from here and rest our hearts and heads in a place we both, and our daughter can call home.

I will be writing during the transition period, not to gain sympathy or followers, as a documentation of my journey.

I hope you all read and enjoy, as for me, I am going to sit and watch the rain fall, again.

This is the skin of a killer



Twilight's sequel was released less than 5 days ago now, and looking into it, alot of people seem to hate the movies/books.

Now I can't figure out why people would hate them, the movies are much better than the books, granted, but I don't really think it requires hate. New Moon Obviously did quite well from Nov 20-22 as it grossed $26.7 Million in its midnight sales alone, beating out "The Dark Knight" which was much more anticipated due to the untimely death of Heath Ledger. Personally, I have not read the books, nor do I intend to, my wife read them, and she said, although good, the writing was lacking something, and there wasn't a way to place her finger on what it was. The movies could have some better acting, but the actors act the way their characters were written. I have only seen Twilight, I haven't made the choice to go to the theater yet for New Moon, as I think I will wait till the teenage girl chaos is over, but I will see it in theaters, only because there is something drawing me to see them, maybe awaiting a possible bloodbath or to see someone actually get bitten by a vampire.

I will agree with a lot of you out there who will read this and say "BUT they fucking sparkle", which again, I agree, they do fucking sparkle, and vampires don't do that, they burst into a pile of ash when exposed to sunlight. If this is the only reason you wish not to see it...then I would suggest putting that behind you, and at least watching Twilight, you might find something you like in the series. I wish I had seen the New Moon, as I could write a little about it, but as of yet, I have not.

Rant On.

I just wanted to take the time to mention to people that just because guys like the series does not make them gay, in any way shape or form, I didn't watch it to see Robert Pattinson prance about, I watched it because I think it should have a fair chance on the chopping block as all other movies do. I get that some guys out there can't see past Edward Cullen, and his dashing good looks etc. but it isn't the movies fault that your girlfriend would rather fuck Edward than your lazy ass, He is a charming type, and all the girls would have a crush on him. If your jealous of a fictional character portrayed by someone unobtainable by most normal people, then you have some serious self-esteem issues and need a therapist, there, I said it. Girls who hate it, sorry to say that your boyfriend may like it because of those nude pictures got out, and want to see if they can catch a glimpse of boob, not that they are gay. There is the possibility that they like it because it is just plain good. So a word to all you haters, just stop, we get that you like movies where people get disemboweled and faces broken with pipes, blatant nudity, and witty punch lines etc. we do.

Rant Off.

Well, that was that, my opinion for this week and the next.

Thanks again for reading, take it easy, and remember, This is the skin of a killer.

Snow Snow Go away...

Snow has nothing to do with today's light reading, just that it is here, and I want it to go away.

It would seem that lately many a child has been suspended from school, or expelled due to some "questionable" behavior, one I read about today, was a boy who was removed from his school and him and his parents told he needed to attend a school for "troublemakers", what did he do? He brought metal cutlery to school, to eat his lunch with. Granted, his school has a zero tolerance policy for bringing knifes to school (one his parents supported and voted for at the PTA meeting) but I believe that the dean of his school suggesting he attend a school for troublemakers is a bit much, he wanted to eat his lunch, not attack anyone, again, I do not know if he had a history as a problem child at the school, however I think that this sentence is a little harsh, of course through appeals etc. it was brought down to a 3-4 day suspension from school.

Another boy somewhere in North America was suspended for refusal to say the Pledge of Allegiance, because it said "liberty and justice for all". He is from a family with a mother and father who both support gay rights, and when he told his teacher he didn't believe that there was liberty and justice for all especially when it came to gay rights, and to say the words would be a lie. The school said he was reprimanded because he talked back to a teacher.

Having 3 under 6 brother-in-laws (weird I know, long story), one of which is in school now makes me think, what is going to happen to them? when is one of them going to get suspended, or face expulsion? and what will it be for?

Its a strange world we live in nowadays, isn't it?

Thanks again for reading,
