Blog Number One

Alright. Finally gave in and made a blog. Just feel it's something I can do to help pass the time. Pretty much just want to get my thoughts out there and this way people can (although I doubt they'd want to) keep up with what's going on and how I feel about it. So here we go try and keep up and sorry if I offend but hey it's my opinion.

Currently there is something out there giving vampires a bad name. Not that they ever really had a good one to start with but hey. I'm speaking on this Twilight phenominon that is going on. I think it was best described as "the Harry Potter kids have grown up and need something else to turn too." But as my wife has pointed out to me "not everyone who likes Twilight liked Harry Potter." So apparently I'm already busted on that thought. Now don't get me wrong I think the movie was alright (7.5/10) but my biggest complaint with the whole thing: VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE IN THE SUN THEY FUCKING DIE. Now that comment can also be modified to "vampires don't go in the damn sun because they die" and then it isn't just a Twilight attack *cough*Anne Rice*cough*. Now I normally just take vampire movies for what they are and I had enjoyed the movie Interview With The Vampire. My wife informed me that in one of Anne Rice's books Lestat flys to the damn sun. My response to that was to quickly say yeah and he died. Yeah...that didn't happen, apparently he came back to Earth. Now the logistics of A) flying to the sun and being a vampire and B) not being frozen completely in the vacuum of space astound me because neither one of those two items are very plausable. Vampires burn with fire which seems to be a pretty consistent thing amoungst vampiric lore. The sun is a giant ass ball of flaming goodness, so how the hell does that work? Secondly, if Lestat did go into space without protection his "blood" would have frozen and he'd be dead. So, currently I give Twilight the belivabilty factor over Anne Rice. I'm now done bitching about unreal vampire stuff.

Alright I'm done with this first one. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to cut my rants short or just go on mutiple rants when I do this. Anyway, farewell people have fun and remember nothing I say will be held against you.
