Oh yeah, I love life. Why? Because I always look for the positives and right now there are many. First off, the game I mentioned last time "Dead Rising" comes out this week and I was able to download a demo thanks to the love of my life...my XBOX 360. Oh this thing will be unreal...running around killing zombies in hi-def. The demo gives you a handful of weapons, and my favorite might be the sledgehammer. Haven't you always wanted to cave the skull in of a zombie that wants to eat you? I know I have. Runner up so far is the sickle, because you stick the thing in their necks, then push off with one of your feet and rip their head off. Now I haven't been able to use the chainsaw or the lawnmower that I saw some pics of, I guess I'll have to wait until Wednesday to find out. Let me put it this way as to how much this game will rock - I played the demo all the way to the time limit several times because there are so many creative ways to kill zombies and I haven't even scratched the surface. When the full game is out, there will actually be missions and tasks to accomplish WHILE killing the zombies in the mall. Could a videogame get any better? I highly doubt it. And to stay on the zombie theme, I watched a kickass zombie movie last night called "Severed: Forest of the Dead". This movie rocked! Finally someone out there knew how to make a zombie movie. Now I have watched a TON of crappy zombie movies always looking for that diamond in the rough...and this one shined. I mean it was shot well, zombies ate people, it had a good story...it rocked! Plus, there were hippies who chained themselves to trees that got eaten by the living dead...and anytime a zombie eats a hippie I have to applaud. Bunch of environmental do-gooders, they deserve to be feasted on by the living dead. See this movie had the evil big corporation which is needed in any zombie movie, but everything was put into place because of the idiot hippie activists, so I LOVED it because I can't stand hippies. Picture this - I'm a radical right winger watching a movie. In this movie a hippie is chained to a tree to keep it from being cut down. Zombies are advancing and the other people can't undo the chains in time, so the hippie becomes the main course for the walking dead. Oh yeah...justice is served. How dare some smelly hippie try to stop capitalism like that. Did I mention how much I can't stand hippies? So the next time you environmental freaks want to chain yourself to a tree, just remember that zombies may be lurking close by and if you get eaten it's your own fault. The movie rocked so watch it. I really don't know why I love zombie stuff so much. No, I take that back, I do know why. Zombies are flesh-eating machines. They can't be reasoned with, they can't be negotiated with, the only thing to do to stop them is shoot them in the head or they will eat you. It's a lot like how I view terrorists...they can't be reasoned with, they can't be negotiated with, and the only way to keep them from killing you and your family is to kill them first. And I think that's why the end of "Land of the Dead" pissed me off so much. These zombies storm into the city, eat a bunch of people and cause chaos, yet at the end when this group has some serious firepower they could unload on the zombies one dude goes "don't fire, they're just looking for a place to live" or something really gay like that. Yet if this dude and a zombie were face to face, the zombie wouldn't think twice about snacking on his intestines, yet he feels pity for them. Why in the heck would you show any sympathy to someone who is hell-bent on your destruction? Zombies know one thing and that is to eat you...terrorists know one thing and that is to kill you. You can't reason with either one of them.
To stay on this theme about terrorists, why is it people are ready to throw Mel Gibson under a bus yet won't condemn the leader of Iran or Hezbollah? Granted, what Mel Gibson said was stupid, but he is just an actor and director! It's not like he's dictating world policy or anything. Meanwhile the prick who leads Iran denies the holocaust and wants to wipe out Israel, but Mel Gibson says he doesn't like Jews when he's drunk and NOW people are offended? Give me a friggin break. The media harps on Israel "targeting" civilians and Mel Gibson is a monster while Hezbollah puts their missile launchers in the middle of civilian areas. Man these guys aren't stupid, they know how the media will portray things and are playing the propaganda game better then anyone. But what I don't get are the reminders of the crap Hezbollah has done in the past like killed over 200 U.S. Marines in Beruit and stuff like that. I swear, I used to just think the mainstream media in America was just biased, but now it's like they HATE America and want this country to be wiped out. How anyone could remotely justify terrorist activity or portray it to possibly be justified is beyond me, but then again I'm one of those evil right-wing Christian hatemongers. I mean Hezbollah's leader calls this whole thing a holy war, which it is, but could you even imagine what would be said if anyone in our government stated that? The bottom line is you have a bunch of Muslims who want to kill all Christians and Jews...that's all this crap is about. But if anyone who is in Washington ever stated that they'd be a hatemonger and branded as "intolerant". Yeah, forgive me if I'm not tolerant of a friggin religion that wants me to die. Our enemy calls it a holy war, but our leaders want to continue to say that they hate us because of our freedom and democracy. Give me a break. They hate us because we aren't Muslim, it's that simple. I mean this is the religion that has been killing tons of people for a thousand years or so because those people weren't Muslim, and I'm supposed to be tolerant of this crap? I don't think so. I've said it before and I'll say it again...the Muslim god Allah is not the God of the Bible. It drives me NUTS when I hear people say "well Christians have their way and Muslims have their way to God" because that's pure bs. The thing that "offends" people about Christianity is that you are put in a position to make a choice, and that choice is to believe that Jesus is the Son of God or not. No other religion asks that.
Onto campaign news....Bob Corker got the Republican nod here this week and a lot of people are pissed off. This opens the door for me big time. I'm the only one in the Senate race who is a conservative and have received a TON of emails from people who are pissed saying they will support me. My goal at one time was to get 1,000 votes, and the way things look I will GREATLY surpass that. In fact, today I got my first really big break. There's a radio station in Jackson, TN that is a 50,000 watt FM station, so it isn't small time at all. Anyway, I emailed a guy named Steve Hilton who has an afternoon talk show and he contacted me yesterday. I called him back and he wants me to come up there and sit in the studio for the whole two hour show for an interview and to take calls. Can you believe that? Like I said, this isn't some little small-town radio station, it covers A LOT of west Tennessee. And to top all that off, I told him how bad I want to get in the debates, and he told me I could challenge Bob Corker and Harold Ford to a debate, and that the station would actually put it on. Now of course, neither of those cowards will accept this, but that is a LOT of people that will hear me call those guys out and let it be known I'm for real and that the voters of this state deserve to hear from ALL candidates and not just the ones with the most money. Oh I can't wait to do this. You know, it really boggles my mind with this whole Senate race. Now I have to admit, I'm a bit egotistical at times, but to think that a regular Joe like me is actually causing a splash in national politics is a pretty amazing thing. Sometimes I think "what the heck have I gotten myself into" but I know what I value and what I believe in, and I'm sick of sitting on the sidelines. It's just so awesome to have something to fight for. Granted I'm not throwing punches, but I've more than one person tell me it takes some balls to do what I'm doing because of the scrutiny I get. I mean all you have to do is read one of my blogs and you know I don't hold back...I have NO problem expressing how I feel and if someone gets offended then too bad for them. I just don't understand why more people can't see right and wrong, good and evil, black and white. It all makes no sense to me. A clear cut decision on things being right or wrong makes life so much easier. And since I'm brutally honest about how I feel, I never feel like I have to watch what I say because I make no apologies for my opinions. If someone asks me what my opinion is and it offends them, oh well. I have a couple of very close friends I've known for a while, and they're the same way. We may disagree on some things, but I know what they say is what they mean. I refuse to have people in my life that can't express themselves, I don't have time for flakes.
So if Clubber Lang fought Apollo Creed, who do you think would win? In case you forgot, Apollo Creed was the man Rocky won the belt from, and Clubber Lang (Mr. T) was the one that took the title briefly. Remember the exchange between Clubber and Apollo before the title fight in "Rocky III"? Apollo was there as a commentator and goes to Clubber's corner. Clubber knocks Apollo's hand out of the way since Creed was going to shake his hand (or bang his glove) and Clubber tells him "I don't need no has-beens messing around in my corner...and you better get that look off your face before I knock it off! C'mon Creed...." oh it was classic. In my expert boxing opinion, I would have to say Apollo would win. I can also say the press conference would be about the greatest one ever. I mean Apollo was quite boisterous. He went by The Ayatollah of Rock N Rolla, The Master of Disaster, The Count of Monte Fisto, some great names. And on the other side you have Clubber who had such great lines as "I train alone, I fight alone, I win alone", also "Prediction? PAIN!" and then of course when he yelled at Adrian "Hey woman! Since your man got no heart I bet you wish you had a real man....I bet you sit up late at night wishing you had a real man...tell you what...why don't you bring your pretty little self to my apartment tonight and I'll show you a real man". Apollo was a great boxer...he had a lightening quick jab and one-two combo...he'd waste Clubber. But the press conference would be a thing of beauty and I would pay the $50 to watch the fight. Yeah, that was just a random thought. Oh, I saw the trailer for the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw III....oh man October can't get here soon enough. They both look like masterpieces. Until next time sportsfans.
