The Vanguard

You know how crocodiles are patient little fuckers and wait for the right moment to strike before they attack their prey?

Well, let me tell you a story. Sobek, dear beloved Father, has been trying in vain to get me into heavy metal for years. It’s never been my thing, or so I thought, so I figured He’d stopped pestering me about it because He had accepted He’d never win me over.

Apparently not. -_-

Now, this story requires some past history, so bear with me. I have this weird instinct where I just *know* if I’ll like a certain band or artist, usually just from hearing a few songs. This instinct has rarely been wrong, so I tend to listen to it when it calls.

Um. No, I didn’t go mad in a fit of panic and decide to delete everything, that was WP upgrading. :/

Will post what I have left over the next few days, but yeah. Not cool. :/

Don’t you just love technology? -_-

It just won’t die, will it? Jesus Christ, you’d think the media had better things to do than keep talking about them. But no, it was even brought up on Lateline again, both during the Friday Night Fight Club between Combet and Pyne (which was EPIC and lulzy and totally worth watching. XD) and in the intro to a story about Letterman pissing off Sarah Palin by apparently making jokes about one of her daughters. What, is it ‘let’s all get offended by comedy!’ month and I missed the memo? o.O

I was completely shocked by the furore that erupted over their ‘Make A Realistic Wish Foundation’ sketch, especially considering all the other potentially offensive material in that particular episode.

Okay, I’m the first to admit I did laugh at that particular sketch. It was wrong on so many levels, but damn did I laugh. Still, I do think it could’ve been executed better. This doesn’t make it an offensive sketch, it makes it one that was just done badly. There’s a difference. (more…)
