I always wanted to have parents that I could see into their twilight years and to have a family of my own some day. To be able to go to Dad, for advice. To be happy to see Mom, when I visit home. I wanted to have my own family, a husband, a wife, the kids; so some day, they could come to see their parents, have the same experiences.
One day, to have the kids to move out, go to college, go off to have lives of their own and then all of us be happy whenever we get a chance to visit. Maybe go on vacations together, from time to time.
But, that simply was not to be.
Dad, left Mom when I was 4. We were living in Spain, 1958. Mom later divorced Dad when I was five, 1959; we were in Philadelphia at the time. Mom remarried some ex musician. She seemed to like to get married. My Dad was her third husband. Then the 60s hit. Life was, weird. All I wanted to do, was move out. Then I graduated High School, and at seventeen, I did. I was outta there, baby.
At nineteen, I joined the service, entered at twenty, got out at twenty-five. University was over by thirty. Then I started my professional level mistakes. This all after my five year marriage at twenty was over. When I got in the service, they said I would leave my main base single. Everyone seemed to. But I made it out married. Ha! But then, we divorced that next year.
I surfed through my life, riding the high waves, and low. I tried hard to not allow my son to have the kind of home life I did as a kid. Yet, oddly, he had nearly the same experience. I wanted my daughter to have a great childhood and in many ways she did, but in the end, I realize she didn't. She has had to clean up her past, just as I had, just as my son had to do.
The point here is this.
There is no real reason people can't have this perfect life. First realize, no life is perfect. Look at any family. Its a constant work in progress with periods of anger, love, fun, misery.
It takes working on a concept of perseverance, loyalty, faith in oneself, from very young. That means, parents have to install this into the kids. How? Figure it out. Talk about it, live it, educate the kids, give them a normal, and regardless of that, a loving environment. Have the right attitude. Pick the right person, carefully, take your time and when you find them, stick together through thick and thin and remain friends.
First and foremost, to grow through life, together.
To work at having a relationship, first and foremost means that sometimes your children will suffer for it, but hopefully, only slightly and for the benefit of their parents remaining together for their life time. Then in the end, the kids will benefit from it also.
Something that most children, if asked, would happily sacrifice part of their lives for. And if not, they would, if they had to experience the alternatives. You're the parent, think, for them, for you, for your family. But you have to start as soon and as young, as possible.

Let's talk, Creepy
When I was a kid, life was so normal. Other than my parents fighting, my lousy grades in school, the Viet Nam War, crap like that. I started reading early. I read deep, young. I was reading Aristotle in grade school. I was reading Sci Fi by Heinlein, Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clark, Bradbury, on and on. So I was expecting, wishing for, crazy to experience the new, the unusual, the different, the wondrous.
It was about that time that I found Creepy and Eerie magazine. They were over sized. They were weird, drew odd looks from people. This was perfect. I liked Eerie magazine the best, but they were all good. Included in this genre were "Tales from the Crypt", "Monsters of Filmland", "Monster Mania", and others.
Brief tangent: I got a phone call last night from a friend who read this, and said I should have mentioned, Vampirella. Publishing History: Vampirella originally published by Warren Publishing for 112 issues from 1969–1983. Numerous series and mini-series published by Harris Comics from 1988 to 2009. A new Vampirella series published by Dynamite Entertainment from 2010 to the present.
This lead me to think about another media entirely, that of TV. Vampira, who hosted the Vampira Show on the Los Angeles ABC television affiliate KABC-TV from April 30, 1954 through April 2, 1955. The series was produced and created by Hunt Stromberg, Jr. and featured the Vampira character created by Maila Nurmi. And if you mention her, you really have to mention the more modern vamp, Elvira. Although, Vampira was quite annoyed with Elvira, because she never gave Vampira any credit for setting the pace, scope and style that made Elvira so famous.
I had been an avid reader of "Mad" magazine and Cracked, but Mad was the best. Still, my favorite was Eerie. This lead the way for the underground comics that later came out and which I blogged about elsewhere a while back and will again tomorrow morning.

Applied Philosophy
I was talking to my son the other night and we got into the concept of applied philosophy. What the hell is applied philosophy? I figured, hey, we came up with a new name for something.
Wrong. So wrong.
Just check out
"What Do We Mean By 'Applied Philosophy'?" by Jonathan Dolhenty, Ph.D.
Oh. Okay. So, well....
"The term "applied" simply means "to put into practice" or "to be used practically.
First-order philosophical knowledge is primarily metaphysical in nature. Second-order philosophical knowledge includes axiology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics, disciplines which tend to be "normative" in nature. Third-order philosophical knowledge is, in my conception, where applied philosophy enters the picture."
I checked it all out. Sounded pretty cool. First, second, third levels of philosophy. What? Hmmm...I don't know, maybe not after all.
Okay.
Then it said: "Applied philosophy, however, is never tightly woven."
Now that, sounded much better. Awesome, actually. That, I think I can work with....

Gay Funerals & Christian "Free speech"
I have to say something on this topic as churches and religious groups seem to be targeting these people. Especially disrespectful and "unChristian-like" are the "Christian" organizations that are targeting funerals for Gay military who have died in the service of their country.
There is the first amendment right to free speech. Then, there are those who should, in their parlance, "Burn in Hell forever and all time." I wish them a warm reception.
I've never found it more despicable, disrespectful or disgusting, than the so called "Christian" groups who do the most unchristian-like things. If they were running for political office, I could at least understand it. But they are just unbelievably mean and should be repressed by a new law, free speech is to speak your mind without recriminations. Fine. But they should not be doing it anywhere near a group of grieving people who are simply trying to lay to rest a loved one.
THAT, disturbing a funeral, should be illegal. It appears this church has done this to 200 other military families, according to the father of the deceased solider in this article. This, is how we treat our soldiers when they are being buried?
From NPR:
"In 2006, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder was killed in Iraq. His funeral in Westminster, Md., drew thousands inside and outside the church to pay their respects. But it also drew a protest from the Rev. Fred Phelps and six other members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. Phelps and fellow church members have traveled the country in recent years, picketing at hundreds of military funerals to protest homosexuality in the service.
"They did not contend that Matthew Snyder was gay. Rather, as Phelps puts it: "When the whole country is given over to sodomy and sodomite enablers ... the country needs this preaching.
"Phelps contends that a country awash in sin needs to know that, 'boys are coming home in body bags. That's the punishment of God almighty upon this nation.'"
End NPR article.
"God hates fags and you're going to Hell," was the sign they were holding.
I believe people should start protesting this church, ANY church that holds such views. Churches, religions that are like this, need to be put down in the public forum. Stand outside, during their services, every single service. Get permission, be legal, and chant something disrespectful. Something as foul and putrid as this church congregation did to someone, to someone's family, who WASN'T EVEN GAY! Which is beside the point, other than, these idiots can't even get it right as to who they are protesting against. They are just doing the white trash, ignorant rant, supremacist, racist, sexist thing that all ignorant like to do.
What is especially bad, is the father of the deceased soldier, sued. Won five million. They that was overturned on appeal. So we need a law, not going against free speech, but protecting family. Which is more important? Family? Or Free Speech. Someone, needs to decide this. I suspect, its family. Free speech can still happen, just out of sight, out of sound, out of experience, of the grieving friends and family members.
Have some compassion, for God's sake, people! When did compassion, get sucked out of Christianity? This is in part, why, when I was Catholic, years ago, I said I was a Jesuit, not a Christian, because I had met so many "Christians" that were just despicable, hypocritical people. Jesus, was a cool guy. His religion, many times, just sucks, meaning his "chosen people" who carry on the organized religious aspects of his teachings, suck. But mostly, what Jesus said, all hearsay anyway, int he bible, is pretty cool.
"We are better than them." these fools think. "God loves us most. We will sit at the right hand of God! Our magical thought is real. We are all important. Other people do not matter." These things they say with their actions; these are their "Christian ideals"?
Like with the Islamic terrorists, how they took religion away from normal Muslims, the greater body of Christians should be furious. They should fight these *ssholes to take their religion back from such bastardizers.
When you consider things like how Christian missionaries brought death and destruction, Hellfire and brimstone to the peaceful tribes of remote locations worldwide over the centuries, one can only say:
"How utterly 'Christian'" of them.
But what can you expect from a church who's web site was www.godhatesfags.com/. Of course, they took down their web site, being the cowardly congregation they are. And even if that wasn't their web site, according to their way of thinking, what does it matter if it wasn't they web site, the world is going to Hell with religious groups such as theirs, so if we mistakenly put them down for a web site they didn't create (which I believe they did, actually), how does that factor in? Truth had nothing to do with their protest over gay funeral at a non gay funeral. Right?
So, check them out here.
GET Pissed off.
Send them antiLove mail.
Call them. Daily.
Give them unto their own devices and more.
Send to them their own form of "love".
Let the world know, what these Christians are like until they change their ways.
Piss their God off. Make him cower under the stairs with his congregation.
Because, I suspect, their god, is not the same God, of most Christians. Just like with the Islamic Terrorrists.
Right back atcha', losers....

Who are your Fifteen Great Directors?
I got a Facebook posting today, asking: "Who are the Fifteen Directors who've influenced you and that will ALWAYS STICK WITH YOU. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes."
I had to think about it. I took on the challenge and this is what I came up with. I thought it might be interesting if I listed them here, and gave a brief blurb on either why and who they are. There is no specific order involved.
Also, James Cameron, John Carpenter, Paul Verhoeven, David Cronenberg, and I'm sure others.

The "cut of battle" - Returning Vets
Some of our Veterans are returning from the Middle East with a propensity to seek out dangerous past times, seemingly "addicted" to the high of battle.
They have been coming back as addicts in one form or another for decades. Battle after battle, especially, with no reprieve, with being signed on for more tours than should be necessary for an individual, more times than reasonable, especially when that individual is ready to be done, or feels they can't do it again, well, what would you expect?
Veterans have always and stereotypically come back from war to become fire fighters, policemen, etc. But they are also now coming home and seeking out hobbies that are not only reasonably dangerous but simply outright dangerous; and its killing them.
We have the right idea to take care of our Veterans, to treat them like heroes, at least generally so. Some are true heroes but its heroic to go and deal with that lifestyle in the service of one's country.
But we need to go further, so damn much further. IF we are going to send them to war, they need full gear when they arrive in theater, not flak jackets that are missing the steel plates that really protect them, not Humvees missing armor and appropriate armor at that. IF we are going to send them to war, we need to give them full medical and rehabilitation benefits to get them back into "normal" society. We even need to monitor them for the first few years back. But monitoring them in a way that is reasonable, friendly and helpful to them, not the bottom line, not the Pentagon, not the Armed Forces, but the individual at risk.
Let's stand not just behind our Veteran's but in front of them too, leading, not just pushing them into things.

What's Johnny Depp doing?
What has Johnny Depp been up to lately? Well, hang on, I'll tell you.
I saw a SNL skit about him being interviewed and I had to look him up. Yes, of course, he's doing yet another Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but I have to say I've enjoyed his Capt. Sparrow character though the evolution of this franchise.
I've been a fan of Depp's since he left 21 Jump Street, since I never saw that show. I gave him little credence until I saw some of this filmic choices. Obviously, "Edward Scissorhands", but also "Benny and Joon", a wonderful film. "Don Juan DeMarco", a sleeper that wasn't given much attention. He did a good job in "Nightmare on Elm Street", and others that were mostly forgettable. But later he only made better and weirder choices, some that hit the mark for me and some that didn't.
He showed some "chops" in "What's eating Gilbert Grape" and "Donny Brasco", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and others: "Chocolat", a film it would seem that everyone saw (if you didn't go see it, then your girlfriend, wife, or simply, date drug you to see it); and the completely unforgettable, "The Libertine", a film I think no one saw but me. Not to forget his foray into musicals with 2007s, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", with Director Tim Burton and his girlfriend as lead actress, Helena Bonham Carter: The Hollywood Triad, Johnny, Tim and Helena.
"Charlie and the Chololate Factory", a film that was fun but nothing could upstage Gene Wilder's version in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". But overall, I enjoy his films. Besides, he's worked with so many other talented actors, even some legends, like Brando, Pacino, and even Keith Richards (who saw that one coming when he was on 21 Jump Street?).
But now, he is working on some interesting projects due to come out soon.
"Paul Kemp is a freelance journalist who finds himself at a critical turning point in his life while writing for a run-down newspaper in the Caribbean. Paul is challenged on many levels as he tries to carve out a more secure niche for himself amidst a group of lost souls all bent on self-destruction." (IMDB) With Amber Heard, Giovanni Ribisi (a very underrated actor by the public), Aaron Eckhart. Written and Directed by Bruce Robinson (screenplay), and the late great Hunter S. Thompson (novel). Release date: 2011 This, should be interesting.
Next up: "The Tourist" It revolves around Frank, an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. (IMDB) With Angelina Jolee, Timothy Dalton. Writer and Director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Christopher McQuarrie (screenplay), and a few others. Release Date: 10 December 2010 (USA)
Finally, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides". Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too. Although I don't see our two mainstays, I now see, Penélope Cruz, Ian McCellan, and of course Geoffrey Rush. Director: Rob Marshall; with Writers: Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, and of course, others. Release Date: 20 May 2011 (USA)
I look forward to Johnny Depp's future releases with the hopes of more solid acting projects but hopefully not without the occasional quirky, unbalanced, fascinating studies for years to come.
