The Best At What I Do, Bub
Posted by Rey
I readily admit that posting this makes this unabashedly a blog; my shame. Ah well, here goes:

You scored as Wolverine. Wolverine is a loner, and a skilled fighter. He’s got the hots for Jean Grey but a better fit for him would be Storm. He doesn’t like to follow orders which pisses Cyclops off. He has terrible memories from the experimentation done on him at Weapon X. Even though he doesn’t show it, he loves the X-Men. Powers: Fast healing and adamantium skeleton and claws.

My Perfect Bible
Posted by Rey
My hope: Bible Publisher reads this and says “Great Idea! Let’s print and publish it.” I was inspired to do this when submitting a form a while back to HCSB. They asked “what would your perfect Bible be” so here it is. Be warned that this Bible will likely break the physical boundaries of time or space but if someone can persevere and overcome these obstacles, I’ll say a hearty “thank you”. Before the charge is raised, I know that this Bible exists in electronic form. But I don’t like carrying my laptop to the pulpit since I’m afraid of a catastrophic incident. Like, it’ll slip off, crash into my glass of water in a sermon stopping moment and an elderly man will shoot up, shaking fist in the air and a shadow on his brow as he shouts “Thus the fiery wiles of the devil shall be quenched!” So here’s the list–see any room for improvement? Add away. Read the rest of this entry »

Pictures of Dogwood Battlefield
Posted by Rey
The Tranquil Dogwood Tree: Note the unmowed square plot of lawn immediately beneath the tree.
Sy Triumphant: Armed with bat and ready to do battle.
Momma Bird exceedingly nervous.
Probably a picture during my running. Of course, I couldn’t capture any pictures of the baby bird lest I would suffer a huge pecking attack.
From inside of my house, looking up at the roof where Momma perched in glaring anger.
Yeah, I don’t have any mid-battle photos. My photographer had her hands occupied with my daughter and my hands were occupied with frantic flailing.
The Battle of Dogwood Tree or Robin-Home Defense
Posted by Rey
June 1863: General Robert E. Lee, upon receiving news that Federal forces were in Frederick (Maryland), ordered the Confederate Army to come down from Blue Ridge Mountains to meet the Feds in battle. On June 30th, Lee’s recon forces discover that Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) is already occupied by Brigadier General John Buford’s cavalry, dismounted, frightened, resolved and entrenched. 143 years later the battle between the Robins and myself, like Gettysburg, happened completely by accident.

McFAT Monday

- What were some of your scariest vehicular experiences, either behind the wheel or as a passenger?
The frost after the Blizzard of ’96 left the roads in a treacherous condition. I was driving in my old 71 Benz (dubbed Ugly) up towards Cypress Avenue in Brooklyn. Anyone who knows the area would tell you that it’s dark, hilly and just not safe to drive in treacherous weather conditions. Driving along I noticed a sheen on the ground and realized (with no small horror) that the road was covered in ice. Apparently the oncoming realized the same but where I had the presence of mind not to touch the brakes, they slammed theirs on. It’s headlights blinded me as the oncoming vehicle careened toward me. In my rearview I saw the guy behind me slam on his brakes—and I sweated, prayed, and coasted past the vehicles (the on comer just missing me) as they slammed into each other and the road-rail. I patted Ugly. I think the snow hit again at one point leaving Ugly buried until May 97. Read the rest of this entry »
Links n’ Junk
Posted by Rey
In the vain effort of creating structure I’m starting this no-brainer-yet-depressingly-standard-blog-category called (obviously) Links n’ Junk. The links may be unnecessarily uninteresting and in some cases darned puzzling. If I document the links it’s probably for my own confused purposes so don’t be concerned: its me, not you single reader.
A Swedish shadow looms over Apple’s future: play or die. I hope this actually makes Apple change how their purchased music isn’t allowed to be played on anything but an ipod and an authorized itunes.
Darrel had an awesome Copyright Violation Week where he stole banner images, post ideas, etc. It was great. I thought about stealing his wife and posting her on my side bar but after spending hours on a D&D poster I didn’t have much steam to do anything else.
I bought multifaceteddesign.com (yay) from GoDaddy (the best place for buying domain names to date. My loyalty to them is absolute…well, until someone better comes along). It was forever unavailable. Now I just have to redesign the main site. ::sigh::
Fun Fact: The genius FedEx logo was created by Lindon Leader. In contradistinction; Jerry uses Photoshop’s twirl feature and calls it an inkblot. Iconic Jerry.
The Invisible Man (by H.G. Wells) is a good book that I (thought I) read, sat down to re-read then was shocked to find that I had never read it before.
Dungeons and Dragons: The Warrior Requiem
Posted by Rey
I was one of the geeks that got good grades so that I could play Dungeons and Dragons. I loved the game and really only started to dislike it when I noticed how addicted other people got with it. At that point, I quit—but I still watched the cartoon. Read the rest of this entry »
Ten Things That I Would Like To Do
Posted by Rey
- Hang out in the city with my wife and kids ala scoboco.
- Take my wife and kids and backpack through Europe.
- Play phenom music. Like Clapton guitar and Connick piano. Sorry, MCF, no tuba.
- Become an art master comparable to the Greats (without ripping their work): Caravaggio, Chermayeff, Rackham, and Ross.
- Publish my trilogy. I absolutely hate re-writing it (again).
- Publish a good (for the lack of a better word even though I’m in complete disagreement with the term) lay commentary on the entire Bible. I absolutely hate writing it.
- Become a Jedi Master who runs around and fights and stuff. Maybe slay the Bugs. Not dark side Jedi Master. I don’t want my son to come back some fifteen years from now and duel me to the death.
- Build a castle. A real one.
- Score big on the lottery without ever buying a ticket. (I have to afford my Europe trip, my castle and building a lightsaber somehow).
- Get my hand on the Infinity Gauntlet. With it I can conquer the Bugs. Barring that I’d like to throw something at my tv (The original Nutty Professor is on again). I do feel that number 10 is being wasted because of this distraction, so I’ll just go ahead an post this.
