tonight I feel like dying
the stones have cracked my head
there's blood cascading down my face
and all I see is red

tonight I feel like dying
life's promises are lies
no hope, no smiles, no music
but my solitary cries

tonight I feel like dying
an end to misery
call me selfish, call me worthless
tell me what you think of me

tonight I feel like dying
I know that you don't care
I wish for loved ones at my side
but there is no one there

Okay, so I kinda wanted to play along, but I quite dislike Stephen Colbert and did not want to post his picture on Wesoteric in any manner that remotely suggests otherwise. Now, I've always hated his show. I don't even like "The Daily Show" (I think the clips Stewart airs generally speak for themselves, such that his his comments and funny faces afterwards are totally unnecessary and kind of insulting, as if I'm supposed to think that what is essentially scrunching up one's nose after someone else lets a really rancid fart constitutes intelligent comedy), but Colbert's show just fucking sucks. What put him "on notice" in my opinion, though, was encouraging people to vandalize Wikipedia. I'll go on record and say that I think Wikipedia is probably one of the greatest things I've seen in years -- an online encyclopedia to which anyone can contribute his/her knowledge about any subject, resulting in a potentially limitless source of information about a wealth of topics. But it only works insofar as people are including information that is true. (Or at least what they believe to be true. Frex, this "Pee-wee's Playhouse" entry refers to Roger as a memorable one-off, whereas I know for a fact that Roger was in at least one other episode. It's an honest mistake, though.) So I really don't think it's funny that Colbert encouraged people to intentionally falsify entries on the site (about elephants of all things; I love elephants). To someone who strongly values the sharing of knowledge and information, that's like encouraging others to sabotage the construction of a spiral staircase leading to Heaven.

But also -- while Stephen Colbert would've been at the top of my list, at least at the moment -- I couldn't come up with seven others. I mean, I could've filled it with largely trivial stuff -- Colin Baker probably would've made it (I really dislike the sixth Doctor; dissing Peri's weight is not cool), and I was also going to give a slot to people who break ninja bobbleheads and seem determined to avoid watching Grave of the Fireflies at all costs. More serious inclusions would've included President Bush (duh) and conservative Christians. I might've thrown BET in for good measure too.

But I'm really tired and didn't feel up to explaining each of my choices -- which is undoubtedly what I would have felt compelled to do. And I still dislike Stephen Colbert. So instead I made this:

I think that works nicely, yes. (And since the Dalek covers up the text, the meme is available here.) Until next time, then!

For the record, readers, do let me know if you post a comment and then don't see it on the site afterwards, because it probably means that the comment got caught in the spam filter for whatever reason. (As evidenced by the comments thread on the Raven article on Scary-Crayon, it's pretty much my policy not to delete comments no matter how ridiculous or stupid or depressing they are. I'm sure there are potential comments that would cause me to make exceptions to the rule, though...) I don't always comb the spam queue for mistakes -- especially when it gets really large -- but if I know you've got something in there I'll likely be able to find and restore it. 🙂

In other news, for those of you interested in checking it out, I posted a new film review on Scary-Crayon yesterday evening. This is another movie that would undoubtedly make my bottom of the barrel booklet, though it's on a DVD with two other flicks (good ol' budget sets -- two discs with three movies each) that may not be nearly as awful. Anyway, I've included four video clips with the review, so you can see just how bad it is for yourself.

And tomorrow, for the first time in four years, I have an appointment with the dentist. I have a feeling I've got a billion cavities. 🙁

Floory scares me.

And the Daleks continue to haunt my head.

I watched this video on Youtube and liked it so much that I was inspired to do a quick drawing (click the image for a larger version):

Prior to adding that swanky blur effect, I took the background from Justice League Task Force for the SNES. It wasn't a very good game.
