The Zombieslayer

I was talking to someone on another board about China and was thinking I should do a blog post about it.  I am a rabid anti-communist.  Why? Let’s use China as an example.

China used to be a world leader in cool inventions.  They’ve invented everything from gunpowder to the kite.  Arguably, the noodle (which is one of my favorite inventions of all-time).  From a medicinal standpoint, I’d take Chinese medicine any day of the week over Western medicine.  You hear Americans scream about health-care this, health-care that.  Screw health-care.  I don’t even want it.  Most health-care plans don’t cover or barely cover acupuncture and I’d take acupuncture over anything we got.  That came from China by the way.

I was talking earlier to a guy whose grandmother is a quadrapalegic and is in constant pain.  She’s on morphine.  That’s Western medicine for you.  Fucking A, put me out of my misery.  I’d want those machines taken off and want to be put out.  That’s not living.  When I’m dying, I don’t want to be anywhere near a hospital because with Western medicine, they’ll drag it out for years.  A bunch of freaking misanthropes, I say.  They’re not helping you, they’re making themselves richer.

But enough of that.  My point is China used to invent cool things.  Another thing, besides the Vikings, the Chinese got to America before white folks.  There are even arguments that the Italian explorers used Chinese maps.  Heck, China knew about the “New World” long ago.  It’s just that white folk like to take credit for EVERYTHING.

Now China doesn’t invent shit.  It doesn’t do anything cool.  It’s because of communism.  You could be a great writer, inventor, scientist, etc., but if you speak out, you die.  It’s as simple as that.

Communism kills

I’ve already done my rant about how communism kills more than any other form of government.  Mao killed 55 million.  Stalin between 19-27 million.  By comparison, Hitler killed 12 million.  Not at all minimizing what Hitler did, but comparing figures and you’ll see just how evil communism is.  Let’s not forget Pol Pot killed 25% of the Cambodian people.  That’s one quarter of EVERYONE in Cambodia.

Learn from History

You’ve heard a million times that those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it.  That saying is lost on this species, I’m afraid.  Humans don’t get it.  Listen, very simply, a government that is powerful enough to give you things is also powerful enough to take things away.  The more power a government has, the more dangerous it CAN be.  And power corrupts.  I can’t stress this enough.  Power corrupts.

Even good people with power will become evil.  It has happened so many times in history that you’d think people would figure it out but they don’t.

Communism puts too much power in only a few people, and those people become drunk with power and end up killing.

You can never trust anyone with too much power.  That’s why we’re better off in a system like ours, where power is distributed as much as possible.  For the record, beware those who want to centralize it.  Remember what I said about power corrupting.  You may start with good intentions.

If you are a Yuppie living in the suburbs and drive an SUV, you lose the Right to complain about the price of gas.  That’s right.  STFU.

Not saying that SUVs have no purpose.  They do.  They’re for Blue Collar workers or people who live in Montana.

If you are “too busy” to vote, you lose the Right to complain about the direction this country is headed.  Funny, people who claim to be “too busy” to vote always seem to find the time to watch American Idol and Survivor.  Go figure.

If you’re an American driving a foreign made car and supported outsourcing and illegal immigration, STFU about the recession.  I don’t want to hear it.  You caused it.  Sure, the avarice of the banks was the last straw, but I saw this one coming from 2005.  You simply can’t export more jobs than we create every year and not expect the economy to collapse.

And lastly, if you support illegal immigrants, you lose the Right to complain about the increases in crime and graffiti in your neighborhood and how the schools are all going to pot.  No shit.  You caused it.

It’s amazing how people go through their lives with complete tunnel vision and don’t see the irony of their complaining.  I got plenty more examples, but it’s a beautiful day and I’m going to enjoy it.  Plus, there are hot babes downtown.

Later.

I should probably do a separate post one day on doing what you want to do.  That was what I wanted to get at when I was talking about Missy Suicide, but I guess it was more steered in the direction of her website.

I strongly believe in doing what you want to do in life instead of chasing dollar bills.  The latter will leave you empty.  The former fulfilled.  Money will come.  You just may need to learn to live on less for awhile.

So once again, hats off to Missy.  She created a niche market and is making a pretty fine living doing it.

Obama, Swords, and Umbrellas

So the Obama police have decided to not allow graduating midshipmen of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis to have their ceremonial swords with them.  Get this, they’re also banning umbrellas.  Yes, not making this up.  I guess Obama’s people are afraid that someone will kill him with an umbrella.  What pussies.

To be fair, the Bush people were just as bad.  When he went to Iraq, he had the soldiers screened, then on top of that, their firing pins removed.

So the tyrants are scared of the people they represent.  As tyrants should be.

Speaking of tyrants, you remember that Saddam Hussein guy? He’s that evil dictator in Iraq that we were fighting against (and are still stuck there).  Funny, Hussein let people fire AK-47s in the air in his presence.  Go figure.

Read this

Clothosfate has a pretty good rant on stupid-proofing the world and keeping the masses ignorant.  I agree on all counts. Read it and be sure to comment. This is my best rant of the week for this week.

If you don’t know who Missy Suicide is, she’s the one who pioneered Suicide Girls, which is a website that has the classical pin-ups, except with a twist - these girls are very punk, goth, or indie.

I bought her first book yesterday, simply called Suicide Girls, and am reading it now.

“I had long thought of the Pin-Up era as something of the past, but that summer in Portland I decided I wanted to be a Pin-Up photographer anyway.  Surely, with the proliferation of hardcore pornography and graphic sex all over the internet and cable, there wouldn’t be the same sort of widespread appeal for the understated beauty of the demure there once was, but so what?”

Exactly.  So what? Create your own niche market and expand on that.  So, a lot of folks are into hardcore porn.  Let them enjoy their hardcore porn and do your own thing, something that you find enjoyable.

I’ve been burned out on hardcore porn for years now.  I no longer own a single magazine and have a whopping zero hardcore porn files on my computer.  Not that I’m against hardcore porn, I’m just sick of it.  It does nothing for me.  The actors look like they’re going through the motions and it’s not at all exciting.  It looks so, well, fake.

“I had done jobs to make money and they hadn’t made me happy; this time I would start with a job that would fulfill me artistically and I’d worry about the making a living part later.”

Bingo.  No matter what religion (including Atheist) you are, you get one and only one shot of being you.  If you believe in reincarnation, you’re no longer you.  You’re someone else.  So in this life, you’re you, and this is you’re only shot at it.

I strongly believe that doing what you like doing is more important than money.  Funny hearing that from a rabid Right-winger, but I strongly believe that.

Money will come.  I make money at jobs and investments and I learned to make it work.  But if you’re not doing what you love doing at least part time, you will have a sick, empty feeling and your life will not be complete.

Trust me on this one.  Don’t get into something you hate because your parents want you to do it, or society expects you to do it.  Do it out of love, or at least do that job you hate, leave it at work, and do what you really love part time until you make enough money doing what you love that you can tell them where they can stick that job you hate.

“If I was going to present images of female beauty, it would be my personal vision of femininity.”

Awesome and thank you.  I get sick of Playboy with their fake blonde hair, their fake big boobs, and the heavy airbrushing.  It doesn’t do it for me.  For the record, if I were single, I couldn’t fuck a fake blonde with fake boobs and a fake tan and a 90 IQ.  I couldn’t do it.

There is something intriguing about the Suicide Girls.  When I was in high school, I had a thing for the nerdy girl two seats behind me in my English class.  She had an IQ within 20 points of mine (which means she was pretty fucking smart), but she wore glasses and she wasn’t exactly popular.  So because I was being a dumbass, I never asked her out.

She wrote her own poetry and listened to Post-Punk music.  Not my thing, but I’ve always preferred anything out of the ordinary to the mindless corporate crap that they shove down our throats on the top 40 stations across the country.

That’s the type of girl who would have ended up in a Suicide Girls calendar.  Dang it.  I’d like to go back in time and slap that 16-year-old Zombieslayer across his head.  Screw popularity ratings.  This girl had it.

As do a lot of the Suicide Girls.

Missy, I’ll be buying the rest of your books shortly.  Still got to finish reading this one.

By request, I’ve decided to bring back Babes, something I had on my original blog when it was hosted by Blogger.

I don’t want to go too political and always wanted to maintain a level of cheese.  Plus, this blog doesn’t have enough images.  I keep telling people I’m going to post photographs of my outings and I never get around to it.  So while I keep dragging, I’ll at least put some Babes on my page.

Salma

So for my very first Babe on the new blog, here’s Mexican hottie Salma Hayek.  I’ve always had a thing for her, first from the Robert Rodriguez film Desperado, then with one of the sexiest scenes ever filmed with Rodriguez directing and Quinten Tarantino writing himself into the scene (in the movie From Dusk ‘Til Dawn).  Heh.  Very clever Tarantino.  I want to get killed in a movie by an undead Salma Hayek.

Cool thing is, she’s now an American citizen, but I give credit where it’s due. Mexico gave birth to her and started her career. If you don’t know already, Mexico has a damn good film industry with some of the world’s better Directors.

Sexiness and Salma Hayek

I said it before and I’ll say it again. Sexiness is like coolness. You either are sexy or you’re not. Same thing with cool. You’re either cool or you’re not. If you try to be sexy, you’re not sexy. If you try to be cool, you’re not cool.

Jessica Simpson tries to be sexy. She’s not sexy. She appeals to the lowest common denominator in American culture. Now, Salma has “it.” She’s sexy. She doesn’t have to try to be sexy. She just is sexy.

Same thing with cool. Sean Connery is cool. He doesn’t have to try to be cool. He just is cool. Nickelback tries to be cool. They’re not.

So if you want to know why my first babe is Salma, it’s because when I hear the word “sexy,” she’s the very first person who comes to mind. From Dusk ‘Til Dawn had hands down the sexiest moment I can remember in the last 20 years.
