Why I’m not up in arms over the bombing (and jumping on the hype) — Boston Bombings

You may have noticed that while I am from Boston (well, Wellesley, then Cape Cod, and points in-between) — look, people from MA say they’re “from Boston” if they’re from around Boston because the point is, we’re Massholes…people who live in Boston will say, “I’m from the North End”, or “I’m from Southie”, or “I live/d in Boston okay? and Massholes stick together — not like you fakers out on the Left Coast — no offense, props to my people there, shout out to you, sorry, I’m just ranting, painting with a really broad brush.

Anyway, I put this up on FaceBook shouting at my suburban white liberal friends, but these are some of my thoughts on the Boston Bombings, here you go, opinion knowledge bomb incoming.

I just heard someone on the phone say something about…”…she just couldn’t talk to me because she was so upset about the bombings.” (two days ago?) Listen. BostonProud BostonStrong all of that but it’s not a catchphrase or anything, that’s why I haven’t been posting a lot about it. Because I’m also worried you’re all going to do a 9/11 repeat — be REALLY concerned for a few months and then, like, some pop star dies, and that takes over the news, and you just…forget. I said that about 9/11. I didn’t forget about 9/11 and I’ve been warning you guys about it ever since then (the Global Caliphate, sharia law, and all that). You need to WATCH the terrorist videos. If you don’t trust the translations, get an Arab-speaking friend to come over and translate directly. But the point is I’m not making a big deal out of it because horrible stuff goes on EVERY DAY, ask any LE officer (ask Josh Bohm the sh-t he sees EVERY DAY — from so-called AMERICAN “CITIZENS”…sorry to ping you Josh but I’m ranting here, *cough*. So I’m with you, guys, but — are you gonna get all weepy again for a few months and then forget again? Cuz if so, seriously, don’t come crying back to me (or Josh or anyone in LE or the government — even Obama, Obama does half of what he does because YOU voted for it, and you know I’m no Obama fan but the man is POTUS so *show some class and respect for the office, he’s the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, make fun of him as a MAN, never as a PRESIDENT, you understand the difference?*)

Okay, BostonProud BostonStrong We Shall Never Forget all that, whatever, but I remember all the flag stickers after 9/11 (I didn’t have one — I don’t NEED ONE TO REMIND ME WHAT COUNTRY I’M IN — if you wanna put something like that up, fine, but you LIVE it, too, okay? ‘merica ain’t a fucking BUMPER STICKER, okay?). And I’m out to see my dad. Just fucking listen to me, okay? I’m smarter than you, and you know it (except there’s a select few close to/above/just below my level of intelligence to whom I will listen and you know who you are).

Doctor Who — A Doctor Snippet Speech — Is This World Protected?

Okay, first off, new category, since it deserve it: Doctor Who.

Next up, the scene from Doctor Who just is useful in explaining my (and a lot of other Whovians’…and generally civilized people’s) opinion of the world. Not just the US, where I’m writing from, but everywhere. Cuz I’d probably change it to, “The Kipper” and throw in something about individual freedom. Or something. I dunno. I’d just like to talk to a giant eyeball from outer space like this and address it in this manner because, much like The Doctor, I have nothing. To. Lose. 😉 (that’s from another speech) Hey, seriously, if I’m happy now, imagine how much happier I’ll be if I make a little more money here. Anyway, enjoy the speech from The Eleventh Hour, the first with the Eleventh Doctor — remember, this is his regeneration, which is why he’s throwing off the ties (he’s choosing one). And why he likes fishsticks and custard. Right, oy, off you go then.

Me doing a blurry Doctor Who pose

Right, so, here’s me — hopefully you notice I’ve dropped all the weight (and by the way, I didn’t really even try to diet — drink coffee, as it is an appetite depressant, and don’t snack, and just cut calories) doing a blurry Doctor Who pose thing. Because Doctor Who is cool (bow ties are cool…”Matt Smith is really growing on me…”…I’ll take “Things Whovians Say” for $200, Alex…). Mad props to my mom because I dunno what it is but even I can’t take a non-blurry photo with my iPhone, and she has some motor control problems (not too bad for her age, though, I’ll tell ya!) for taking the picture. Anyway…One more, just one more — is this world protected? Hello. I’m The Doctor. Basically…run.”

Me posing as The Doctor with my sonic screwdriver

I’ll just sonic it.

…and Contact Form Back Up with CAPTCHA

Okay, I have put the contact form back up with a basic CAPTCHA function; hopefully this will solve the spamming problem. If not, down it goes again.

Contact Form temporarily disabled

Sorry, folks, someone’s trying to take advantage of my contact form. I think it’s a certain prick who once had a healthy cocaine habit — if he doesn’t stop, I’ll let you know his name — and I’ve got an IP sniffer on him now, so I can mail his ISP and inform them he’s violating his terms of service. I’ll put one back up with a CAPTCHA form when I get a chance. Y’all know where to find me, anyway, don’t worry. 😉

Doctor Who: The Pandorica Opens — The Doctor’s Speech

Okay, right, so I put up the Akhaten speech, but, I mean, that was a bit of weak episode except for that scene. Well, anyway, point is, if I’m going to put that up, I should put up the epic speech from “The Pandorica Opens”. Text first, again, then video.

“Sorry, sorry, dropped it…HELLO STONEHENGE!! Who takes The Pandorica takes the universe! But, bad news, everyone — cuz guess who!! Ha! Except, you lot, you’re all…whizzing about…it’s really VERY distracting, could you all just stay still for a minute, because I!!! AM!!! TALKING!!!!! Now: The question of the hour is, who’s got The Pandorica. Answer: I do. Next question! Who’s coming to take it from me? C’MMMONN, *look* at me! *No* plan, *no* backup, *no* weapons worth a damn, OH, and — something else — I. Don’t. Have. Anything TO LOSE. So, if you’re sitting up there in your silly little spaceship with all…your…silly…little guns…and you’ve got any plans on taking The Pandorica TONIGHT, just REMEMBER who’s standing in your way. REMEMBER every black day I ever stopped you, and then, AND. THEN. ANNND THEN. — DO the SMART THING…let somebody else try first.”

Doctor Who: The Rings of Akhaten – The Doctor’s Speech

Okay, I’m betting a bunch of you out there want to memorize that kickass monologue from the last Doctor Who (Rings of Akhaten), don’t you? Okay, here it is. Enjoy. The video is at the bottom.

Okay then. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgment. All these people whose ancestors devoted themselves — sacrificed themselves — *to you*. Can you hear them singing? Oh, you like to think you’re a *God*. Well, you’re not a God — you’re just a parasite, eaten out with jealous, envy, and longing for the lives of others. You *feed* on them. On the memory of love, and loss, and birth, and death, and joy, and sorrow…so…SO…come on then, take mine. Take. My. Memories. But I hope you’ve got a big appetite. Because I have lived a LONG life, and I have seen a *few* things. I walked away from the last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the *birth* of the universe and I watched as time RAN OUT, moment by moment, until NOTHING remained — NO TIME, NO SPACE, *JUST ME*! I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a *mad* man. And I’ve watched universes freeze, and creation *burn* — I have seen things you WOULDN’T *BELIEVE* AND I HAVE *LOST* THINGS YOU WILL *NEVER* UNDERSTAND — and I know things. Secrets that must never be told. *Knowledge* that must NEVER be *SPOKEN*! KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL MAKE. PARASITE.GODS. *BLAZE*! SO *COME* ON, THEN!!! TAKE IT!!!! TAKE IT ALL, BABY!!!!! HAVE IT! YOU. HAVE. IT. ALL!!!!!!!!!!
