Are you SERIOUS!?!

I don't know where people get these ideas from. Seriously? People think that Dungeons and Dragons is a gateway into the Occult? Oh come on. Maybe waaaay back in the day or maybe there are some Wickans or pagans that play. But wizard magic that turns someone into a frog does not exist. Playing D&D is no different than playing a video game except that you do the imagining. I've seen war video games that are more disturbing than a group of kids playing a game in the safety of their home. Not doing drugs. Not getting into trouble and their parents know exactly what they are doing.  

I heard of this D&D hatred a long time ago as i was driving to LA from SF. I like to argue with the Bible stations about their philosophies and inconsistencies. For fun. ... and there was an audio version of the comic that is located at the bottom of the blog. UNBELIEVABLE. People will make up whatever they want it seems just so people will do what they say. And if someone with wealth says these things then they MUST be right. 

So, read the comic.. leave your comments on my blog or on their comic... 

I just can't believe how simple minded people are still. No wonder we don't have jet packs.

It bothers me even more that these same people that write stuff like this worship pop bands and actors. Aren't you NOT supposed to put your faith into false deities? I mean, that's what I got from studying christianity. Pop culture/pop religion just confuses me so.

Marvel Museum

I was distracted yesterday but this is what I was going to post. Our home sweet home.

Joe is a HUGE fan of Marvel Comics and as we just moved in to this place we don't have everything up. We have enough art to cover the walls and that's not even including my paintings. I had to leave my 7ft paintings back at the loft I was living in. A loft is a loft is a loft. The fun thing about moving in together is putting our stuff together. His display of Marvel figurines mixed with my collection of DR. Who, bender and random sculptures & Nun chucks turned out pretty ok. One of the cool things about his collection is that he has some cool comics framed. I never thought of that. What a GREAT idea! So up our staircase to our house are various issues of Spider Man. Maybe Mark Millar will be at Comic con next year and we can get him to sign all of our Kick-Ass comics and we can line the other side of the wall with that. Oh I love decorating. 

And just as cool as that, we have joined forces in video game consoles. I used to have all of them but through time and moving things have fallen through my fingertips. All I have to offer is my Atari 2600, my original NES system and a Wii. Mix that with his Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and 60 inch tv... who needs to leave the house. Especially when your couch is a queen size mattress covered in pillows and fur. It doesn't get more cozy than that. 

And to top it off we bought our dining room table for optimal (and comfortable) Dungeons & Dragons play. That's right I said it. I play D&D. been playing off and on for 15 years. (yea, I'll be 30 next year) And it never stopped being fun to play. I find that you're either into it or not. And that's ok. What I do behind closed doors is my own business. Weather its playing D&D or organizing a Hedonist Party. Who's to judge. :)

 

My favorite comics is the Sandman Series By my favorite author: Neil Gaiman. ... anything by him really is fantastic. Bloom County by Berke Breathed is my favorite comic strip.

Off to go Play D&D with some of my hot friends.
