So I was thinking about how weather channels can get out of hand with their descriptions of upcoming snow storms, and I saw the word "snowlocaust" written somewhere. So it got me thinking, what other barely passable terms could we use for an upcoming winter storm?
child snowlestation
snowicide bombing
hirsnowshima and snowgasaki
vesnowvius
the armenian genosnowd (gesnowcide)
the snownguska event
snowbal warming
the snowdiac killer
the downfall of western snowciety
snowpartheid
the snowlden horde
the siege of constantisnowple
the fall of snowme
the communist revsnowlution
chersnowbyl
snowmageddon
snowpacolypse
snowkakke
snowxual assault
snownslaught
snowjob
rusty trumsnown
baltimore snowfish

Extolling the Virtues of All Fiction
Sometimes I wonder why, in the literary world, science fiction and fantasy are often entirely ignored. Some of the most important literary works are forebearers of the genres, if not the genres themselves -- Frankenstein IS about the effects of reanimating a piecemeal corpse, Dracula IS about vampires, 1984, Animal Farm, Faust, Dorian Gray, I mean the list goes on.
Fiction to me is comprised of two worlds, two possibilites -- that which has not happened, and that which can not happen.
And yes, I will admit that much of the works in Science Fiction are derivative and/or cliche, but can't the same be said for regular fiction? The basic rule of thumb is 90% of EVERYTHING is crap, no exceptions -- 90% of my posts are probably crap.
"Oh, but we can't possibly take anything seriously about anything with elves, dragons, or spaceships"
Oh, well I can't possibly take anything seriously about how difficult it is to be European upper class, but then I'd have to ignore War and Peace. You see, it can't be done.
"Oh, but Foundation is just about smart people trying to outsmart each other ... in space." Aside from space, how is that different from Othello or Much Ado About Nothing?
Maybe I should clarify my argument -- I am not defending science fiction or fantasy, per se, but I am saying that genre is not equal to quality. I think it's ridiculous that in order for a fantasy work to be taken seriously, it must be called "magic realism," or for a science fiction work to be taken seriously, it must be called "speculative fiction." Every genre has its merits, and to ignore them entirely, or let them in on technicalities and exceptions, is pompous, arrogant, snobbish, and ignorant.

Extolling the Virtues of Midnight Ice Running
Midnight ice running came about as a necessity.
I was training at the time to go to Marine Corps OCS, something which now seems a further away dream than other somewhat preposterous goals of mine (but I intend on completing them anyway). It was the winter of 09/10, a particularly wet and snowy winter, and i still needed to run regularly to both keep in shape and keep my 3 mile run time down. Sidewalks were unreliably shoveled, and roads were too lined with snowbanks to share with cars during the day.
Now that I look back upon it, the first midnight ice run was actually before any snow came that winter. I had the idea that running in the freezing cold would toughen me up, make me stronger in ways more than running itself could. So I went out in the same kind of gear I would wear in the heat of the afternoon in summertime. The skies were clear (which at nighttime actually makes it darker) and all the stars were shining prominently. Anyways, I was freezing, not even the increased body heat of rigorous activity could keep me warm -- and then I guess about 2 miles in I noticed I tore my calf (again) and had to walk the rest of the way home, making me even colder. But the initial run high coupled with the freezing temperatures (making a nice burning sensation in the lungs each breath) and the prominent stars -- it was a magic feeling. And then as I was limping home I got pulled over by a cop, probably suspecting a dude running around in his shorts at 1am in 30 degree weather was tweaking.
Due to the injury incurred (a fatigue injury, not an accidental), that was my last run for a while, but they quickly became a fixture in that winter, for the aforementioned reasons. I adapted better to the colder running environs of nighttime, getting warmer running clothes and the like, but the mystical quality of that first one never really faded.
I was still mostly alone on those roads, no outside noises, just my thoughts and my music were with me. I could run through schools too, as there were no students upon which to trespass.
Physically, in addition to the regular benefits of regular running, midnight ice running worked more muscles in the leg (having to always be on one's toes, shifting quickly laterally, hopping and jumping around ice patches, running through and over snow patches and banks) and eyesight and mental discipline (always looking for ice patches, which can come into the field of vision at the last second, and other obstacles, most efficient routes to get around everything).
If running on a treadmill is a too perfect form of running, midnight ice running makes regular road running look like running on a track.

The Deadpool Cometh
Coming to the conclusion that I am ignorant of whatever Marvel is doing with Deadpool nowadays, I decided to find out.
The story begins with rocking an all you can eat sushi lunch special for 5 rolls at like 10 bucks. Dice, I know.
Moving on, the local comic shop is like right next to this sushi place, so I go in and check it out. I had forgotten how messy and unkempt these places can be, but that's exactly how they want them. Gotta keep out the outsiders, you know "hey, I just saw spiderman 3, can you show me some spiderman stuff, I like that venom guy, his face peels back when he talks, that is neat." Anyways, local businesses equal awesome businesses, usually (still gotta keep out the riff raff), and I'd rather support the community than some corporate headquarters in East St. Louis.
So I check out the Deadpool titles (yes, they are plural, they are legion).

So possibly this could be the first (and maybe) last time I write about Tuscon.
So everyone knows what happened by now. I don't need to get into the deets.
So let's get straight into fallout.

Yay, so I got to like 200 posts somehow.
This just doesn't feel like a huge milestone.
anyways, I've decided to put some more "experimental" (sometimes, at least) writings (meaning prolly mostly fictions) on a different blog -- http://natemwinters.blogspot.com
check it out, it's hella dice.

Meh, Linkdup
Again I have accrued a backlog.
Why do I feel the need to keep doing things in linkform? whatevs, here goes.
HYPOCRISY
-- two faced sunbitches they are.
more hypocrisy?
-- not really, I think he's genuinely coming from the heart most of the time. That or he just hates America.
ah, baby boomers
-- they never cease to amaze. is it all about me now? huh?
new chief of staff
-- 'bout time some moderates are put in the spotlight.
thats good enough for now. the rest i can coherently put into larger articles (at least currently in my head).

The New Congress
So the new Congressional session opens up sometime this week, so I thought I'd share the following article.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/21/AR2010122103054.html?hpid=topnews
Arlen Specter, departing longtime Senator of Pennsylvania offered up those thoughts about a month ago, alongside other departing congressmen. Some of the speeches were lightly attended, some not at all, regardless of how long or reputable their public service had been.
Ideologies are threatening to doom our political process.
This is America -- we do not elect parties into power; we elect people. A person, a single congressman has the ability to vote whichever way he (or she) decides to on any given piece of legislation.
This has not been the case as of late, especially within the Senate, where unless 60 people can agree (insert topic) is to be discussed, there will be a filibuster, regardless of whether it's needed or any of that.
Discourse and dialogue have left the arena, to be replaced by party pandering and extremism.
This is the reason Arlen Specter originally left the Republican party (I believe the quote was something along the lines of the Democrats more willing to have someone who agrees with them 30% of the time than the Republicans are to someone who disagrees 70%). Of course that was all rhetoric, and Specter was voted out of his new parties primary. I guess he just didn't agree with them enough. How sad and pathetic is it that a moderate state like Pennsylvania can't even elect a moderate Senator anymore? If Specter had stayed in the Republican party he would've gotten voted out in their primary by Toomey, regardless of anything involving healthcare, the stimulus, or TARP.
The sad part is the change has to come from within. It has to happen in Washington, because switching to another system simply would be finding a way to hand power over to a far more formal party system.
Like I said before, this is America, we elect people, not parties.
Or at least that's the way it ought to be.

Net Neutrality or Something or Other
It looks like I was planning on writing something on the "net neutrality" law that passed about a week ago, but it was like a week ago, so I'll just put up the shit ton of links i procured in preparation, then maybe write a little something.
TV's future: FCC decisions on Internet access, Comcast-NBC merger approaching
FCC set to enact new net neutrality rules
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/timothy-karr/obama-fcc-caves-on-net-ne_b_799435.html
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/12/fcc-rule/
And so it goes...
Clearly there do need to be some rules in place. While the vast openness of the Internet is it's strength, without ANY regulation, it can quickly turn into a madhouse of spam, viruses, and unsavory material. However, favoring the companies which supply the internet itself seems to be one of the dumbest ways to go about it (an alternative though, I cannot think of). I do like the example of what will happen to Netflix, now that comcast can kill the bandwidth dealing specifically with streaming it in favor of their own on demand videos.
By giving control to the gatekeepers, they do in fact keep things under control. By giving control to the gatekeepers, they give unilateral control to the Internet providers. By giving control to the gatekeepers, an entire market is compromised and colluded. By giving control to the gatekeepers, the creativity and ingenuity of the Internet may be reduced to the trickle speed given to off-market sites.
I guess we'll see how this plays out. I don't think anyone was expecting true net neutrality in any case.

A Nation of Wusses
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5960674
"We've become a nation of wusses."
However inelegant, it is true, and perhaps my search for a more elegant explanation is evidence of my own wussiness.
Regardless, all of the circumstances regarding this affair just scream wussiness.
And why? Brett Favre doesn't have any streaks to protect, the Vikings played in worse weather on an unheated field only a week or two ago, the storm itself had hardly even begun when kickoff was slated.

The Baby Boomers Are Dooming Us All
Indeed, they are...
http://www.usatoday.com/yourlife/parenting-family/2010-11-18-boomerloathing18_CV_N.htm?csp=obinsite
I came across that article very (very) randomly (I do not subscribe to anything on parenting -- children are a precious resource, yes, but mainly for food). Anyways, I decided that I, too, am tired of their shit.
It's all about "me", well you know what, who cares?
I guess, ironically (or not, I guess it's more coincidental), this disproves objectivism and other similarly minded philosophies, at least in the manner that I understand them. I am no expert on objectivism or Ayn Rand (mostly knowing her from the works of Rush and the Bioshock video games, though I hear her prose is mediocre at best, and even objectivists dislike her arguments for objectivism, the school of thought she is seen as creating), and I have an outright disrespect for the intellectual dishonesty that is Friedman, but I guess I'm starting to get sidetracked. I understand objectivism as the pursuit of self -- one ought to look out for ones own interests, doing what helps self, not what helps others, and eventually it all works out in the end. Basically it's libertarianism and total free market economics as applied to morality.

So I am backlogged like crazy in links that I bookmarked, therefore I shall merely dump them upon the site. Maybe a witty comment or two, but that's not likely (I'm not that witty). Honestly, I even think some of them I wanted to keep for personal use or sharing amongst friends, not to leave to the barren, cold, and unforgiving anonymous internet. Whatevs, they're mostly in chronological order, in two parts (saved up on two computers), so here goes.

TCU Joins the Big East
http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/ncf/news/story?id=5862368
I might do a College Football rundown later this week, if not next week, but until then I found this story humorous.
TCU is in Fort Worth, Texas (of Dallas/Fort Worth region fame). It is WEST of the Mississipi river, usually the indicator of East/West in NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES.
That's enough caps for now.

Yeah, this? It doesn't fly. Come on!
It's funny how everyday the NHL does something stupid like this to threaten it's own existence, when it was left comatose during the lockout year. It should know better, and it should reprimand REALLY bad officiating in a case such as this (it would be counterproductive to reprimand bad officiating on a regular basis in any sport, examples must be made, however).

Facts Can't Get in the Way of What's Right, Damnit
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40426795/from/RSS/
Remember when McCain was a "maverick" of a moderate? Now he just seems more like a dinosaur (literally) of a conservative (not quite paleo) everyday.
Moving on...
What would it take then to make this work, and allow openly gay citizens to serve in the military? If the study had been done the other way around then McCain et co. could simply have stated that this should not have been done as a referendum, because policy decisions should be made top down. Honestly, I think he secretly agrees with the way it was done, given the way he so quickly deferred, not to the study, but to the Chiefs of the individual branches of the Armed Services.

IT'S A TARP
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40424612/from/RSS/
Awesome, so TARP, which was actually signed under Bush, not Obama (though it was during election season and both then-Senator Obama and Senator McCain bi-partisanly met up with Bush to get it done), is actually going to cost the American budget about 0 dollars (relatively speaking) and pretty much prevented the financial ruin from getting any worse (yes, it could have gotten much much worse, I could have been super-unemployed).
Ok, so it still cost a few billion dollars -- that's less than a percent of the total budget. Can we stop bitching about TARP now, and start bitching about something productive? Like, I dunno, the President that signed this bill was a total socialist...
