I Beat the System!

".....meh, okay, so I overreacted. It's still not cool, but it's not THAT horribly uncool. Your block has been reduced to twelve hours. DS 04:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC) - DragonflySixtyseven"

Yeah! Take that wikipedia! Shows them what can happen when the little guy with a healthy sense of humor has a forum to get the word out and no one to BLOCK him. Assuming they realized they should reduce the BLOCK by reading this and not independently reaching that conclusion on their own, I suppose.

Yeah! And that goat anecdote showing up right after Jon Stewart and Jeff Garlin mentioned it? Still very funny. Yeah.

What the - - ?

I got blocked on wikipedia! Tonight on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart and guest Jeff Garlin made jokes about the his wikipedia entry, ending with Stewart making a joke about Garlin being nearly killed by mountain goats last year and how it'd end up on his wiki-entry. So I go to Garlin's page and see someone's changed it, and instead go to the discussion page and say how funny it is that it's been changed so quickly.

And then I get BLOCKED. For three days granted, but I'm BLOCKED for three days. For, apparently, encouraging vandalism. Here's the message:

"It is not awesome to vandalize Wikipedia articles just because Jon Stewart said it'd be wacky to do so. Nor is it awesome to tell people that their vandalism is awesome. You are blocked for three days. DS 03:53, 11 September 2007 (UTC) - DragonflySixtyseven"

What'd I do? Come on! Mountain goats nearly killed Jeff Garlin last year? That's very funny.

And, yes, I can still check out the wiki, and, yes, I only go there, like, twice a month or so, but come on! BLOCKED, for chrissakes!

Hey

What's up everybody that doesn't visit my blog. I know what you're not thinking -- a new message? And just a week after the last one? If I were a better blogger I'd be here posting that often, if not more. Then again, I can't even get close friends and family to stop by, so it's just as well I put my efforts into more substantial pursuits. Like this one game, where you have to get rid of these things without letting the kid on top fall into the water. It's real neat. That one of the other benefits of having a blog whose sole source of traffic comes from people who stumble on it by mistake; I can say things like "It's real neat" and not worry about coming off like a five-year-old.

Here's a link to the game: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/371834

Hey folks.

Mike Wieringo, artist on Spider-Man, The Flash, the Fantastic Four and many other books, died yesterday of a heart attack. He was only 44 years old. He was one of my favorite artists when I started reading Spider-Man back in the 90s, and did some really nice stuff in the Fantastic Four book a few years back. Most recently he did a ten issue run on Spider-Man, and just finished a Spider-Man/FF mini-series. I've always kind of wondered what it'd be like if folks whose work I admired died and what my reaction would be like since I'd assumed that would still be some years away. Turns out it's kind of like a punch to the gut.

(The sketch to the left is from Mike's blog at http://www.mikewieringo.com/. The Site's a busy right now, but I recommend you stop on by and check out his work. It's worth it.)

Wow. I'm a terrible blogger.

Sorry about that. I really need to update more often. For the benefit of the people who don't visit my blog, naturally.

But if you stumbled upon this by mistake, here's a short film I was in a few years back. I played the hell out of that dead body.



Have a good day.

I don't normally like to talk politics...

I don't normally like to talk politics, seeing as it tends to bring out the worst in people, but I took this neat quiz that tells you where your politics lie, the neat thing being that it tells you pretty much what you already know.

So in the event someone happens upon this and considers me the spawn of the unholy because of how it came out, settle down. And thanks for coming by.

You are a Social Liberal (73% permissive) and an... Economic Liberal (26% permissive) You are best described as a: Democrat Link: The Politics Test on Ok Cupid Also: The OkCupid Dating Persona Test

Hi there.

Hi there.

I upgraded my blog to the new version so all of the people that don't visit my blog can better enjoy it. Yippie.

Hope everyone's enjoying 2007. I don't want to get ahead of myself yet, but, and you can quote me on this, just wait until next year!

Happy Holidays All

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Kwazy Kwanzaa, a Tip-top Tet, and a solemn, dignified Ramadan.

I recommend everyone check out Valerie D'Orazio's "Getting out of Comics" series in her blog. It's inspiring, troubling, emotional, and very compelling writing. Kudos to her for having the bravery to put it all down the page.

Hi there.

Not much to say. "Stella" and "Justice League Unlimited" are on DVD. Been playing Justice League Heroes quite a bit. Trying to read more and add spice to my lifestyle wherever possible. Like for instance -- the other day I had caramel on my Starbucks white chocolate mocha. Livin' on the edge, and all that.
