I had been so busy that I have seriously forgotten to give this blog some attention. There are a lot of stuff I want to post about, some art I'd like to display, movie and comic reviews etc.
I just seriously need to find the time to post it all. Also, I think I need a new computer. I'm starting to feel like a caveman with how old this junk of mine is. Nonetheless, I have many pleasant memories with this sucker.
In the meantime, just because I hate for this to turn into a diary type blog, I'm recommending you people to visit Nowhere Girl. It's a very nice web comic that I someday hope, Justine Shaw (the creator)find the time to finish. Check it out folks, it's really good.

Angel Puss
Ah YouTube! A great repository of useless and oftentimes crazy clip materials. Sometimes of course the occasional gem of great trivial importance is just a click away, granted you are not retarded and actually do know how to use the search function. Did I just say that? How politically incorrect of me!!!
Well all that stupid set-up was just to introduce you to the Historical Preservation Library of Banned Cartoons. A website dedicated to the banned Politically Incorrect cartoons of yesteryears!
Of course this is the internet, where most people are lazy to even click a link. Have no fear, I'm embedding one of the featured cartoons here so it could stare you right in the face waiting for you to click it, so that you can watch it and see a sample of them unPC cartoons.
The title of this particular feature is Angel Puss, Duh!. The description given by the site:
Hoh-kay! Sit back and enjoy now.

Looney Tunes cartoon that is one of the infamous 'censored eleven', a group of cartoons that haven't been aired or released in any form since the 1960's due to their racial content
Hoh-kay! Sit back and enjoy now.

Sorry for the Lull as of Late
Something came up. There will be a bunch of cool and interesting entries coming later as soon as I sort things out. Mind you, this blog is not really a diary like most are. I intend this place to be more of a repository for stuff I find interesting or cool.

Alan Moore and his "Lost Girls"
I had heard quite a few times within fandom that if you don't know who Alan Moore is, then you aren't much of a comics fan at all. Well with things as they are, even with the recent boom of comic-based movies, the actual fan community is still a niche within a niche. So I don't think it would necessarily hurt anyone if I elaborate a bit who the man is for a broader audience in the world wide web. That is if I even have an audience, okay enough with the dilly dally.
Alan Moore can arguably be called the greatest writer so far for the medium of comics. Not really a cartoonist himself, although he did try an attempt early on in his career, he settled on just being a scribe, as he found it more of a fit for him and where his real talent lies. A very private individual and a self-proclaimed practicing warlock, he is quite known for his moodiness and stern self conviction. Once he gets mad at something or someone, he stays mad at it.
His popularity stems from the great works he has written for the medium, some of which, like the very famous "WATCHMEN", can be argued as either reinventing or reinvigorating superhero comics. Most of his other popular works like "From Hell" and "League of Extra Ordianry Gentlemen" were already adapted into bad movies much to his chagrin in retrospect. The later ones that had been adapted like "Constantine" and "V for Vendetta" were simply out of his hands because, he has sort of given up his creator ownership for them. It really is another very complicated story on its own. Simply put, Alan Moore has lived a very unusual yet creative life, full of tumultuous relationships with different publishers regarding creator rights.
Phew! Okay now that took longer than I anticipated for just another simple blog entry. Now let's get into Lost Girls.
I only found out about this particular project of Alan Moore about three years ago. This is his first self-proclaimed pornography comics work. It involves the three famous lost girls of children's literature. Alice of Alice in Wonderland fame, Dorothy of The Wizard of OZ and Wendy from Peter Pan. Right now, even unpublished, it is starting somewhat of a controversy already. If you are interested in finding out more information about this you can check out this two interesting links of an interview about the author himself here discussing the said project. This first link is about the history of the now announced three hardcover book in a slip case graphic novel. This second link, is the second part of the interview discussing his thought process and anticipation for the reactions of this particular project.
So why did I dedicate some of my time and resource just for this somewhat elaborate shilling. Well it isn't necessarily shilling, but more of as a calling of some attention to it. I find the premise of this work interesting, can pornography really be considered classy? Well I don't really know, but I'm sure as heck am willing to find out. However, the US $75.00 price tag is seriously giving me some doubts.

The Misty Ghost of Childhood Fears, Heh!
I must admit the title was witty taking it from the lyrics of the actual song itself. I must admit also the second time around that Bruce Dickinson is like my most favorite heavy metal vocalist ever whether it was his solo efforts or his time with Iron Maiden.
I have seen quite a few AMVs at YouTube but this so far had attracted my attention the most. I must say I'm impreseed with the editing skills of Szi Szi,the fellow who made this video. The scenes actually followed the lyrics somewhat and is timed well with the beat and rhythm of the song. Hope you are as amused with this as I was.
I'm in a bit of a music appreciation streak as of late. Expect more of the same later.

The Human Highlight Reel: Rey Mysterio Jr.
Probably one of the greatest in-ring technicians with superb mastery of psychology in our generation. Kudos to whoever made this tribute video.
ECW may have triggered the evolution of professional wrestling back in 1995, but it was both Rey Mysterio Jr. and Eddie Guerrero in their match at Halloween Havoc '97 that changed the "workrate" standard for the mainstream audience. They may have not been the scheduled main event for that night, but they obviously stole the show from other legendary names such as Hulk Hogan and Lex Luger.
