After watching MSNBC last night on John Karr, I am fairly convinced of a few things:
There are some mixed messages from people who "knew" him. Once thing is for certain, he has an inferiority feeling that might be eliviated or lessoned by control over others. I am not sure that I understand why Alabama allows marriages of children of 13 year-olds to 19 year-olds. I would think that it should be outright illegal, but it seems that there may not be a clause requiring parental agreement. This was John Karr's first failed marriage. His second marriage collapsed after two boys were born.
Later he was dismissed for teaching behaviors, allegations, and demonstrated control-issues over others. Children are generally weaker, better targets for predators. I think clearly, he is a hetrosexual pedophile (for what difference that makes), but can be useful for tracking criminal behavior.
His strange obsession with criminal histories of Polly Klass and JonBonet are worrisome, but not criminal in themselves. His confession is likely a low point in his psyche. He was controlling, in that he held minimal paying sub jobs, yet survived fairly well, but matched with possible paranoia (not typical). He took traceable jobs (teaching is a government job, very traceable) so paranoia doesn't jibe well with a pedophile taking high risks in highly visible jobs. Relocating to Bangkok made more sense in that he could blend into a large city and become invisible despite his English-only and pronounced Euro-American visage.
His internet discourse, leading up to his arrest and then surprising confession, were interesting, but his confession is merely a ploy to overcome his inferiority. The inferiority stems, likely, from failed relationships, poorer paying jobs, inconsistent work, body physique and plummet from "successful-looking high school student" to downtrodden meager man, relatively insignificant.
To be sure, his first marriage alone is demonstrative of pedophilia, but his deranged affection for child murder is a clearer sign of what likely lies ahead for society if he isn't executed.

Karr repair
V for Vengence
When I saw this, I thought it was like an incomplete sentence. It was a startling, good sentence, but still not yet complete. I would rate this fairly high for adaption to graphic novel, as there are elements that cannot be portrayed in film as they can be in comic form and for condensing an elaborate series into the movie.
The incompletion was in characters, but that likely would have made it longer and boring. I think, really, the addtion of the Matrix effects didn't help it any. I would have rather had standard quick reflexes and sophisticated, but not 100% CG, as some of the scenes were, and obViously so.
I'm sure the author of the graphic novel read quite a bit of literature, based on its similarity to many more famous works and to the protagonist's vernacular and great use of classic and neo-classic literature and media.
I would give it a 7.2 (high, but I'm ranking it lower because it has little novelty to offer the second time around).
+ It is interesting that Natlie Portman had some scenes that, from a Star Wars fan, seemed, well, "borrowed".
frozen master
I didn't think I could find these, but I did, but boy -- what I saw was not good quality. It looked like a home movie of a home movie of a TV show.
Having watched Dungeons & Dragons the Saturday morning cartoon makes me old.
attic find
This is from The Grudge, which had a great thing of scary elements, timing, suspense. I think what the director, Takashi Shimizu, did well was using the special effects and scary moments in short bursts, not two minutes here, five minutes there. He timed the moments specifically.
Surprisingly, I liked this movie. I re-watched it recently. What else can you do when you are tired at 3:00 am and can't sleep?

He's asking to die
Let's oblige him!
John Karr, calling out that he is the murderer (and rapist), and is a pedophile. I'd say you get anything off him you can, kill him, then check out facts later. Personally, I don't think he's guilty, but I'm gonna pull a three-headed giant on him, "Let's kill him anyway!" Rather than state that, then look around for him, after he quickly ran away. Remember Ted Bundy -- escaped from prison to rape and murder more.
"I am so guilty! I'm so guilty! I did it"
[blam]
"Thanks! We'll look into it."
flight ban
Rather than banning chemicals, clothing, all many other things, why not ban terrorists? Since they don't wear uniforms, I'd have to say that continuing with procedures to screen people, checking baggage is certainly necessary, but I think that most Muslims should be disallowed to fly. Boy! Doesn't that sound racist? I would stand by my decision, but remarking, hey ... a group of 20 some persons were going to get on planes bound for Europe and the US and bomb them.
I am not writing that only Muslims do bombings, but ... there is a distinct relationship. I would just ban all Muslims from flying. If they don't like that, then stop killing people, stop trying to kill people, stop bombing. I HARDLY believe that these 20 some people in the most recent case were alone in their plot. There are people out there that either know what is going to happen, likely to happen or some peculiarities. They don't; they rejoice at the death of others, then wonder why Muslims aren't trusted.
There are really, a low percentage of Muslims comitting the (large bomb) crimes, but I think that would just about end if they weren't allowed to fly. That would then translate to disallowing them to be on boat, then perhaps any transportation. That sounds really wicked, really evil, but I'd say that it's time to take off the gloves here.
If France wants little trouble from the Muslim population and still make a stand against terrorism, then the government should fairly buy their property so they could relocate back to the Muslim world away from the evils of Western society.
I think very soon, Muslims will be Muslims greatest enemy and be coralled into ghettos as was done to the Jews and slowly genocided through six generations, ending the religion, which would later be called a long-standing cult, for the victors write the history.
....
Israel pulls out of Lebanon and Hezbollah grows stronger. Then, they attack again with more weapons, now having a Lebanese military barrier between it and the Israelis. They'll attack, then scurry back to hiding places or into Jordan or Syria.
The conditional cease fire should be: upon any civilian or military deaths or kidknapping, there will be no cecession of fire and attack until terrorist organizations are removed. If the protection of that organization goes up to the government of a particular nation, then that nation has knowingly embraced it. Therefore, in the minds of other nations, the US by this definition already has supported this.

Muslims in the Arab world are as likely to riot over something as Los Angles, CA is to riot and loot over the unrelated. The LA riots wound up killing 30-40 people outright, not to mention those that could not be directly attributed to the rioters and looters. Hey! There's an injustice, let's grab that large screen TV to show our displeasure, while we're at it let's take what money's in the till.

Reagan roasts
Walk Backward
Enter macabe , replay possibilities in head --- outcome never certain, but always the same; what I remember. Betrayed, life improved only after losing then gaining. I've never quite bright, dark and not light, if only I had a dark secret -- at least then I could finger point. Alas, I've no business pointing my finger at anyone. I only wish I had an "alter" spending my energy, gathering money somehow so that I could find that, quash madness and stomp out many flames at once.
Then, thinking about it, maybe I'd rather have the third arm.
In a word -- crappy
It was my week. Borrowing my own money seems to be a difficulty. If MetLife were close by, I'd drive there and finish up the paperwork and transfer myself. Okay, they have my paperwork for two weeks -- still, they haven't processed it. I'm asking for only $1,000 of my own money! How tough can that be? They have all my info -- address, phone, everything vital. What gives?
--- back to the more critical, though not being able to pay bills is critical,
My mother had a couple of really bad nights -- in so much pain, overdosing on other things ... terrible, unpretty -- I wish not to see it again, though got another shadow of it on Thursday.
What was to be a "30 minute" trip to hospital for pre-admission testing, was in fact, 3 some hours -- nearly 4. In the end, she should be ready to go, but now needs to exercise to gain muscle in arms, for that's what she'll use to lift herself.
I doubt that she will successfully complete the physical rehab and on top of that ... she is a bad surgery risk.
I'm not really sleeping well anymore ... Tyler Durden lurks with my face, selling soap, dreams, discontent, revolution to the masses. I like being alive, but this hell I've had is akin to death (for Hell is death+). I have heavy eyelids all the time, matched with dull wit and unsightly bursts of angry talk about topics for which I have some opinion, usually soundbite news (serial murderer cofession, inconsistent with facts) etc.
I'm writing little because I generally unmotivated. I now have a very wonderful schedule of reading job postings, responding to job postings, checking "potential spam" folder for possible responses finding few -- several times daily.
On the bright side, I never traded in my car for one with worse gas mileage and for a higher loan. Thanks God!

girl expresses demands
A short while later, friend Owl reminded her of the dangers of the wolf and again, Red dismissed Owl with, "Thanks" showing a 9mm handgun for protection.
Minutes later, the wolf jumps right in front of her stating that he was going to jump on her bones and play with her cleavage.
"Oh no you're not", screamed Red. She brandished her pistol, leveling it on the wolf's head between his terrified eyes. "You're gonna eat me, just like it says here in the book!"

Convenient timing
John Karr, substitute teacher (my prior job) may very well be the killer. He was regarded as a poor teacher, though. He taught in many different places and was a caregiver. According to some reports, he had a sexual assault charge, but in California during a fingerprint check -- nothing came up. I'll return to this fiend later.
I know that there are two schools of thought on male teachers -- perverts and queers. Little does anyone remember the powermad school masters who beat the snot out of kids who threw a fit or didn't "get with the program" in one room school houses. Later, the state was happy to pay women teachers less and require them to be unmarried. Later still, integration and the vast need for qualified teachers.
Men should be role models -- and many urbanites need good role models, men and women. Generally, it is accepted (through assumption and data) that urbanites tend not to have a stable father figure in their lives (via jail/prison, abandonment, death, etc.) I actually was a novelty, and I love teaching, but as life would have it, I failed to fullfill a requirement, relegating me out of teaching, which didn't pay me much anyway.
During my experience, there was always doubt, wonder, suspicion as to which one I was -- queer or pervert. As it happens, I'm neither, but that wouldn't sway most persons feeling I had to be one or the other or both. An EH (emotionally handicapped) child once called me a pedophile, actually perfunctory response in an attempt to defy me, get attention, and to seem superior. It was my only time that I met or saw the child, in that 5th grade class. A month later, she was removed from the school and into another program.
A woman teacher, "mom" as it were, is trusted categorically because she is a woman, who could be a mother. I have found, even in my small group of 90 would-be teachers, that some carried too much baggage for the trip. One woman would not teach in a mostly Black or high-percentage Black school. She didn't like Blacks. You don't get to always choose. She could not have been a fair teacher. A couple others, I had in the back of my mind -- certain worries about their intents -- control mainly, over others; nothing more.
I did encounter some creepy adults; somehow affiliated with students at a sschool, whether parents, uncles, cousins, etc. Some surely would have been jailed for mindcrimes. Even others were, well, demonstratively too close with some kids. That may or may not have led to anything, but the wrongness was there.

So far, no job, but the month of August might bring something.
Aren't you the stripper?
I also found out that even thirty pieces of gum, singularly or similtaneously didn't hide the smell of that much beer on your breath. I think the stumbling and nudity gave away my condition. In my head I was making words, but listening to me -- not so much.

Sadly, too many people see others as the problem and not their hate. Why think when acting and hating are faster ("more seductive"+)? "History shows that destroying has always been easier than creating."++
The US seems like an odd nation to be finger wagging and pointing, regarding its dismal history and track record (like genocide of native peoples, hundreds of years of slavery), condoning of underpayment of illegals (to some this is evil) -- I'd say, employment is illegal. They entered illegally, then have to be underpaid to exist -- tip from narrow-minded person, learn English and enter legally.
We do, however, allow freedoms -- sometimes too many to the wrong persons. I can go to a restaurant and order Korean food or an Indian restaurant and order food, sometimes not knowing what the items are. Better still, I can send it back. Most things are done by contract, not "I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you." sealing the end of the marriage. Similarly, I can get a job and then not randomly be fired.
I can drive through this small city and find Jehovah's Witness halls, Menenite Chapels, Synogogues, churches of all flavors (Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Evengelical, Later Day, etc.). I do criticize others, belittle small bits of irony and inconsistencies in doctorine, but am happy there are choices. Really, the US is a consumer's market on many things including religion.
You believe that faith and faith only can cure your cancer, that is within your rights as an adult to let yourself go with that method. If you want to include poisonous snakes in your worship of God, that's okay too. If you want to accept no God (or god), that's cool. You may be ridiculed by others, not quite a Job character, but you aren't slain for it.
Killed for gayiety was a possibility, but now homosexuality is a fad. Aparently it's okay or cool, trendy to be seuxally wishy-washy. I think here, I'll be outdated and stick with hetrosexuality, but I'm fine with that. Simple principles, but very complex laws (too ubiquitous lawyers) make for a safer society with freedoms that other nations surrender or don't fight to have.
As for Syria, Lebanon, Jordan -- I think in the 70s you made it clear where you stood, and I'm sure that your mind is stuck, groovy with the 70s hate, retroactively cool, even in 2006.

This is my Dell on fire! Any questions?Since they are Sony batteries and Sony Vaio s haven't burnt, I'd say it wasn't necessarily exclusively a battery issue.

Neither of them are gay and it pans out that Jane was wrong that they didn't go for a little "cuddle" as is in her delusion. Jeff feels even more insecure after this. His homelife, later revealed in the series was scary.

There is no real text in the picture, but clearly the photographer had to know this leaves open some impressions. In mine, expression of perverted, darkly sexual commentary. The reader can make guesses why (another road indeed).
