Wake-n-Bake Revelations #3

Not that I’m just waking up, it’s the revelation that’s late.

Yesterday my new Facebook account was disabled for violating a few of their “rules”… The rules I broke, I think, were 1) having a fake name 2) having multiple accounts 3) defending the people of Gaza on MSNBC’s comment thread over at Facebook.

Someone must have known the rules and reported me in retaliation for my unwillingness to argue.

Anyway, I went back to my old account like it was an old neighborhood bar. Familiar faces and plenty of chatter awaited me. I really like Facebook, more so than twitter. The friendships on Facebook are at a more intimate level.

If you’re on my Facebook page you see me interact with my brothers, mother, aunts, uncles, rivals, and buddies.. That’s an open door to me and my life and vice versa.

That’s why I like Facebook more.

I think I may have come full circle and I feel better this time around.

Wake-n-Bake Revelations #2 ( could superman catch all the rockets shot at Gaza? )

As I quickly scroll through my twitter feeds this morning, desperately trying to escape the burnt children in Gaza, I'm left feeling less than optimistic about the state of the world. This world needs a superhero, one who is entirely alien, and one who sees and speaks against the absolute barbarity of the world's economic system and war machines. Could Superman catch all the rockets ISREAL is firing into the neighborhoods of Gaza? Is it pointless to wonder? Prayers for the world.. Praying for Peace.

Keep the questions coming. Anon if you want, or ask straight up. Why not? I'll return the support.

Wake-N-Bake Revelations #1

As I burn through a a gram and a half of Grape Ape and enjoy my coffee this morning ( currently 0714 ) I can't help but rant about Marky MarK being an overrated and extremely popular action hero / comedy star of my time period... What the fuck?!!! None of us deserve this.. What is he good for other than that forcing upon our ears that stupid fucking accent? "Mahhhhk Whalllbare-g. Does a Hahd ack-scent." You can hear the cheapness he brings to every movie when he opens that suck of his. "Ohhhhh, it's so much funnier in a Boston accent... He sounds like such a derelict! Hahaha" That's the truth. In the 80's I watched Norris, Stallone, and Schwarzenegger... In the 90's I watched Willis, Jet Li, and Gibson.. Now I get Mark Wahlberg in 5 movies a year and Ben Affleck as batman. What did I do to deserve this?

A comicskyle reflection: HAUNT Here we have a pretty good supernatural / demonic movie still available on Netflix. Haunt doesn't waste anytime scaring you either.. This story moves at 100 mph from the start and is filled with all sorts of directorial wizardry - Well done Mac Carter! There's none of the cheap tricks of excessive gore and bouncing breasts in this film either.. Just legit and visceral horror with a disturbing storyline. My only criticism is that it wasn't longer. This is so unfortunate because of how good this movie is... It would have gotten a perfect score with more closure. ( now don't let that scare you away, this movie is a great investment of your time. )

A comicskyle Reflection MONKEY SQUAD ONE ANNUAL #2 So I'm a big fan of @monkeysquadone and for many reasons, not just for the brilliantly crafted comic you can read FOR FREE at http://www.monkeysquadone.com/?m=1 , but because of the Creator as well. First off, it's hard not to be a fan of Doug Michel. He has a way of marketing his comic by simply being himself and I attribute this to the fact that his comic, MONKEY SQUAD ONE, is an actual embodiment of Doug's creativity. Don't be mistaken here.. THIS is a very difficult thing to do. To completely radiate through a creation that contains people you know could only be done through one avenue and that avenue is named FUN. A comic that is fun to create is a fun comic to read. That sums up MS1 in a nutshell. Pure fun. The world he creates and the characters he puts in it open the door to an alternate reality where you can get in tune to the most meaningful elements of Doug's world: family, friends, mayhem, and comics. I truly believe that MS1 writes itself at times and that's a trait all great comics carry. The Annual #2 was done very nicely and as I read through I often found myself wondering ( between laughs ) if there'd ever be a spinoff for a character or two? The Pinup art gallery in the Annual was also fantastic and features some of the best underground creators on twitter. William Haders ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/William-Haders-Art/911857908830985 ) contribution was by far my favorite. It was truly fantastic to see how other creators ( and friends ) portrayed Doug's characters. I posted a picture of the back cover because It's totally rad. I'm a big of publishers and the logo for Fatman/Littleboy press is a beauty to behold. I hope they publish LOTS of comics. "So much fun this was. Get the Annual 2 you must."
