Thinking ahead to my tombstone

I want my tombstone to read "She left the world a better place than she found it."

First Lady of the United States Obama was a real class act.

Regulated Militia means what, again?

Way back in 2015, I posed this question about this meme:

When they said "regulated militia," weren't they referring to what has essentially become the National Guard?

I want to pose that again, because I will likely get a different perspective, now after a year of President Trump (barf in my mouth), and I'm really curious what people know and think about the question, especially under Trump's New World Order.

Please Do Not Feed the Trolls

This is a nice, self-contained meme.  Internet Trolls are, by definition, assholes.  Generally they are also angry and get off on bullying and arguing with people, which is childish and stupid, but so are most trolls.

Musical Monday - Gravity Cover

You know what? This one is so good, it deserves a second boost, right?

Yeah, it so totally does.  I love this shit.

Marvel Comics Toxic "Venom"

"Venom" - most fucking annoying character spawn-off EVAR.

The original "Venom" was kind of cool, in a sick and pathetic kind of way. I mean, it was actually possible to feel sorry for Brock and the symbiont, to a point.

But, then, and then, and then, and murderous drivel spawn-off, color change, on-and-on then, and now "Gwenom" - seriously? Fucking _seriously_??

Fucking. Annoying. Know what I mean, Vern?

Live Stream School Shooting - fix the fucking illness!

Now school massacres are being fucking live streamed? Death is again a spectator sport? I'm not fucking kidding!!

Next week the kid will have a GoPro and Twitch feed.

Next month the kid will have a "selfie drone" and a Twitch feed.

Shut the fuck up about guns!

Why the fuck are school kids going absolutely goddamn insane and murdering people the see every day?

What the fuck is now systemically wrong with American society that this keeps happening every damn week??

Musical Monday - Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler

Okay, I'm actually glad my parents didn't let me what MTV during the 80s.  I mean, wow, those were the days when figuring out what a music video could be, right?  This is a seriously classic song, but, wow, sooooo cheesy! :-)

The sound holds up well, even 30+ years later, so mega-props to Bonnie Tyler and her team for that!

And just for fun, some alternate versions :-)

Musical Monday - Losing My Religion - Lacuna Coil

Like "Rise of the Titans," bitch!  I know, that's a totally silly opening, but you don't read this blog on a regular basis expecting anything but whatever the fuck I'm thinking at the moment.

In the dreams where I don't have wings, I dream of being a titan, striding the Earth, like a great benevolent tyrant.

Meanwhile, "Losing My Religion" is like an iconic song, right?  I ran across Lacuna Coil a while ago, because they seem to be in the same YouTube mixes as Amaranthe and Arch Enemy.

Meanmeanwhile, turns out I covered this song before, but I didn't realize (at the time), that Lacuna Coil had an official vid.  Whatever. That previous post was about the vid games featured in the fan splice-up vid, and this post is about the official Lacuna Coil vid.  Blah, blah, blah.  :-)
