Labor Day weekend

Well if this blog has anyone following it, Hi it's been a long while.  This post is going to mostly be a dump of tonight's events to clear my head.  Basically I think I pissed off an uncle that had a few drinks.  Admittedly that might not be a difficult task if you're trying to do it, which I wasn't.  So here is the basic rundown of my weekend and more detail about possibly pissing off my uncle.

For anyone reading this who doesn't know me, I'm an introvert.  Meaning I can be social, but I need considerable "me" time to recharge.  Otherwise I get drained which can make me ultra quiet and irritable. 

With that said.  Saturday I spent from late afternoon through the night at a wedding.  I had a lot of fun, but that makes for a night that really drains me.  Then Sunday my uncle was having people over for Labor day.  So I went around 2-3 o'clock after not really sleeping well the night before.  So I'm tired and drained from the previous night and slightly irritable.  So I'm largely quiet at my uncles house.  I have lunch and talk on and off with people.  After the baseball game everyone was watching I walked into another room for a while and came back and noticed American Sniper was on.  When it was mentioned I made an off hand comment about how 75% of it was BS.  Which an uncle (not the one who's house we were visiting) didn't like.  He is former military and tends to take the militaries side on anything few to no questions asked.  Now I will admit that I insinuated that the 75% I mentioned was about Bradly Coopers character in that movie.  Which I was wrong to do, I was misremembering something about a bunch of stories that came out somewhere around 2-3 years ago.  There was some quick conversation about that which someone else quickly changed to another topic and I dropped it.  No big deal right. 

I went into another room for awhile again, hung out with other family members and came back out and they were talking about it again.  They were talking about the real life law suit against Chris Kyle by Jesse Ventura.  Too which my uncle again defends Kyle by attacking Ventura.  Saying Ventura (who claims to be a former Navy Seal) wasn't actually a Seal but a "Frog Man" which sounds like someone who did some of the training but not all.  I'm not military so I'm not really sure.  I'm just going by what my uncle said and taking him at his word about it.  Then when I point out that Kyles book also said he was shooting people from the top of the Super Dome during hurricane Katrina.  His response was to ask if that was Kyle saying it or some author saying it.  Too which we have to point out that Kyle had to okay everything that goes into a book like that.  They are claiming it's real life, he is the subject of the book.  So it doesn't go in there if he doesn't tell that story to the writer (if the book was even ghost written, I really don't know).

So my uncle says that you don't get a funeral like his if your a piece of shit so he was an American hero.  At which point I'm not looking for a fight so I drop it instead of pointing out that his numbers are go high because he killed civilians nearly indiscriminately according to his own accounts of his time in Afghanistan.  Kyle was also involved in an action in Fallujah where military snipers killed untold numbers of civilians.  Which by the by, is a war crime. But instead of pointing that out and throwing fuel on the fire I let it drop.

Eventually everyone moves downstairs to play cards.  Not being a card player I just watch for a bit then go and sit on the couch working on something while they play.  Eventually as it always does two of my uncles find a racist tirade to go on.  This time it was about Native Americans.  Some at the table didn't day anything, some subtly tried to turn the conversation.  So I decided it was time for me to go before I popped off at someone (keep in mind nearly everyone else is drinking, especially those two uncles).  So I start to get ready to go then one of them says something about the following trendies.  So I simply mention that if following treaties is the standard, then the government should do it too, because we are still breaking treaties with Native American tribes.  No one responded to that so I figured they were ignoring it or didn't hear me, it was getting kind of loud and I prefer to stay soft spoken.  As I'm going up the stairs the uncle I think I pissed off said Bye (my name) I hope you enjoyed the food.  Which was a bit off putting, but he did like to cook so okay he was just drunk and didn't pick the best words whatever.  But while I was upstairs he started yelling and I caught his wife saying something like nock it off, and my uncle yelling back I caught "I hate ..." and something that sounded like racist.  But I could have misheard it.  When I had all my things and was ready to go, I popped my head back down stairs and everyone else said bye to me and he wouldn't even look at me.  So maybe I'm wrong, but I think I pissed drunk him off.

If I did, what probably happened was that he sees me be quiet most of the time, where he has a really loud personality.  And he is used to being the loudest one and people backing off because of that.  But when I don't back off he doesn't know how to deal with it (especially when drunk) nor can he make a real argument against anything I say as I follow these things fairly closely and he doesn't.  And maybe he's figured out that when the talk get racial, that is when I leave because I don't want to start that fight in someone else's home.  Hopefully I misheard what happened downstairs but who knows.

Weak knees

When you're single long enough you eventually start to miss some things (assuming you experienced them I suppose). These can be big things like sex, long deep passionate kisses, emotional connections, being so comfortable with someone you don't feel the need for someone having to be talking the entire time your together because just being WITH them is enough. Or small things like casual touches, kisses hello and good bye, cuddling up on the couch and watching a movie together.
The list goes on, I could go on all day. But what I want to talk about today is weak knees. Weak knees may be metaphorical or literal, but we all have something that makes our knees shake or give out. I'm not talking about the weak knees we get from sex ... although if you want to see mine quiver there is no better way then giving me a blow job in the middle of a room were I have no other support. ;)

No, I'm talking about the weak knee sensations we get with our cloths on. With some it is obvious when it happens. I've had partners knees actually give out during a particularly hot make out session (and believe me there are few things more satisfying). For some people (like me) it is much more subtle then that. As far as I remember my knees have never actually given out (short of the blow job mentioned above or upright sex acts). For me it is more like a chill that runs down my spine. A wave of excitement that runs all the way from my head to my knees and back again.

The thing is, it isn't all that hard to illicit that type of reaction from me either. But like anything it starts in the ol' noggin. But once that connection is there if you know what buttons to push my knees will turn to jelly. I know that might sound strange for someone who considers him self a D type when it comes to play to say. But I have feelings too damn it. :-p
So what is this super secret Konami code to making my knees weak (get ready because this just took a nerdy turn and video game references will fallow)?

- (Up, Up): First things first: As mentioned above there needs to be some type of connection. Some random person doing these would just be creepy. Wrong type of chill. So before anyone starts entering in the code the game and system need to be on.

- (Down, Down): Get consent, consent is sexy and without the consent to do the what follows on this list there are no weak knees. So it is part of the code.

- (Left. Right): Ok now that we are at the start menu we can begin entering the code. The first thing someone can do is simple, a hand on my knee. When driving or sitting next to a partner I rally enjoy the sensation of them caressing my thigh right above my knee.

- (Left, Right): Surprise me with a passionate kiss. For a guy like me who likes to pride himself on his self control, seeing someone loose themselves in that type of passion is sexy. It will go a long way to making me loose myself in a similar passion. One of the best kisses I remember that made my knees quiver a bit was after asking someone out. After my asking and us talking about it for awhile (no answer was given) she surprised me with one of those kisses. It was completely unexpected, she was a great kisser and I have always felt at ease with her. So all of the pieces fell into place for my knees to waver and waver they did.

- (B, A): Lastly kiss my neck!! I don't know what it is, but kissing down my neck just does it. It sends those wave rushing up and down my back like nobodies business.

Yeah I miss that. I hope you all have someone who knows and enters your "Konami code" regularly. Have a great day.

Who is Eddie Thawne really?

Who has been watching "The Flash"?  If you haven't and are into the whole superhero influx happening on TV and in the movies, you're missing out.  The overarching plot of Barry's hunt for the "Man in yellow" and slowly coming into his own has been a fun ride thus far. 

After watching this season I've developed a couple theories about things, given these theories are just that theories concocted by my often over active imagination.  All evidence I will site is circumstantial at best.  That said this post is also going to contain minor spoilers from the season.  So if you have not watched it, you may want to stop reading now and come back when you have caught up.

I have two theories I want to discuss.  The theories will center around Eddie Thawne and a possible relation to Barry Allen or Harrison Wells.  But before I get into the theories I want to take about the name Thawne and how that name relates to The Flash.  In the comics there are a pair of characters with that sir name.  Eobard and Thaddeus, Professor Zoom (aka Reverse Flash) and Inertia respectively.  Both of which were pains in the backside of various Flashs.  While I don't follow the Flash comics regularly I know that Thaddeus was a clone of Bart Allen and I believe is occasionally disconnected from the speed force.  Eobard's powers seem to have originated from the costume of Silver Age Flash, and a machine that was used to amplify the suits abilities giving him the powers of Flash when he wore it.

So onto the theories.  Anyone that saw this weeks episode will know that at the end of the episode The Reverse Flash reveled himself to be Harrison Wells, which is something we already knew.  In that scene he states that he "protects his own" meaning meta humans.  Which fits into the comics where some incarnations of the Reverse Flash are apparently trying to help Barry be a better hero (albeit I don't know if these versions are cannon or not).  Wells has been training Barry presumably trying to prevent some crisis.  With this paper and presumed knowledge of the future it is a safe assumption that wells is the very same reverse flash who killed Barry's mother.

Now if Wells is the same time traveling speedster who killed Barry's mother, then there must be a young him somewhere right?  What if Eddie is a young Harrison Wells?  What if something happens and Barry fails to save someone close to him and Eddie thinks this is because Barry was unwilling to kill.  Eddie then starts to think that he has to make sure the flash is ready to kill for the "greater good"  Maybe he finds Well's suit or that device he strapped to it and uses it to gain the powers of the Flash.  He has until 2025 to embark on this quest.  Again I realize this is a thin theory, but you never know.

Theory number two.  Does anyone else get the feeling that Eddie seems to know more then he lets on.  There have been a couple times when I have gotten that feeling.  Especially early on in the series.  What if somehow Eddie is the Barry that traveled through time.  If Barry disappeared in the future, then he must still be somewhere in the past right?  What if by some feat of TV magic Older Barry took on the persona of Eddie Thawne?  This I admit is an even more thin theory then the first one.  But again it is fun to think about.

Now it could just be that they used that sir name as a nod to fans just like casting John Westley Shipp as Henry Allen (as he played the flash in the 1990 TV series).  Those are just a couple random thoughts I came up with and lets be honest.  In a world with time travel, anything is possible.

Kinky Night Before Christmas

This is a spoof I wrote about a year ago based on the classic night before Christmas.  Be warned the following writing contains strong sexual content and acts of S&M.

Kinky Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, when down in the dungeon.
Not a creature was moaning, groaning or mewing.
The floggers and paddles hung by the cross with care.
In hopes that Sir Nicholas soon would be there.

The Lady nestled all snug in their bed,
While visions of whips and chains danced in her head.
Wearing little more then a kerchief, not even a cap.
She settled in for her nightly nap.

Then down in the dungeon arose such a clatter.
She sprang from her bed to see what was the matter.
Through the hall, to the stairs she flew like the Flash.
Tore down the steps, hoping to soon receive a lash.

What to her excited eyes should appear.
But Sir Nicholas with his Domly veneer.
So long he'd been gone, but now he was home.
To love her and own her and call her his own.

He pulled out the toys he had in his sack.
Floggers and crops designed to redden her back.
Speaking not a word he went straight to his work.
He pointed to the cross, she leapt to it with a jerk.

A kiss to start then the floggers did fly.
First one, then two at a time, my oh my.
Once her back had a nice luster of red,
He took her from the cross, back to their bed.

By now chubby and plump was his little elf.
She moaned as she took it inside of herself.
Thrust after thrust, no two the same.
Her flesh held tight in his teeth as she came.

Wave after wave of pleasure did flow.
Then off his sleigh she did spring, now kneeling below.
Into her mouth she took it with such delight.
She wouldn't be the only one cumming this night.

He moaned and he groaned as she sucked.
She followed the rhythm of his hips as they bucked.
Loudly between moans he shouted her name.
But she barely noticed because this was when he came.

Done for the night, they cuddled snug in their bed.
While visions of each other danced in their heads.
With that I'd like to wish this cold winters night.
A Kinky Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Happy Holidays

I know I haven't been here long and haven't built up much of a readership yet.  But for anyone who has taken a liking to my few posts thus far and everyone else out there.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season whatever your holiday of choice is.  If you are one of the people who choose not to celebrate anything, I hope you have a wonderful time just the same.

Of the off chance I don't get back here with anything before the New Year, Happy New Year everyone.  :)

Arrow: The Brave and the Bold review.

My last post was about the Flash vs. Arrow episode of "The Flash".  Today it's time to do a quick review of the Arrow's half of the cross over event.  So without further adieu my review of Arrow season 3 episode 8, "The Brave and the Bold".  Though I will try to avoid any major ones.  Be warned, there may be spoilers ahead.

This episode follows Ollie and the crew as they try to track down Captain Boomerang.  Ollie and Roy find out that he is basically hunting Argus (not sure if I got the spelling right, but I'm talking about Amanda Wallers organization) for an unknown reason. 

Where the Flash vs. Arrow episode was the "what would happen if they fight" episode.  This episode shows the drastic difference in each teams approach.  The differences, why they are the way they are and what it is doing to them (particularly Ollie) is the main point of the episode.  The best example of this is during what amounts to raiding a hideout to track down a lead.  While Ollie, Roy and Diggle are getting to their positions you occasionally see Barry running though.  When Ollie reaches the first room which would usually have the "muscle" in it.  Barry has already knocked them out and gives Ollie a joyful "I had eight seconds to spare.  What was that wrong."  Then they move into the inner area with the man they are there to find.  Barry rushes in taking the man off guard and with a smile on his face says "My friend wants to talk to you."  Shortly after the interrogation begins Ollie puts an Arrow into the mans shoulder.  Barry doesn't agree with this and Ollie goes on to explain that Starling City is a much darker place then Central City.  Eventually he reveals that little by little what he is doing is killing Oliver Queen leaving only the Arrow (anyone else seeing another Batman comparison there?).

The final confrontation comes down to the Flash trying to stop a crisis that could once again send the city into complete chaos, while Ollie struggles with his humanity and his oath to not kill anymore. 

As for previews of next week.  Like with the Flash it looks like Fit is going to hit the shan.  With some type of duel or challenge to one with "one of the deadliest men in the world" which I assume to be Ra's, but could be mistaken.

Story:  B

Again it was a good story.  Diggle has a nice moment at the end, Ollie is shown hope for personal growth and that he might be able to be both Oliver Queen and The Arrow.  Nothing spectacular and jaw dropping but defiantly a solid show.

Overall:  B

Just an all around solid episode. 

What did you think of this episode?  Would you rather be the more happy go lucky, boy scoutish Flash?  Or the darker brooding Batman ... I mean Arrow, who admits that what he does chips away little by little at his humanity?

Flash vs Arrow Part 1 (possible spoilers)

As I said in my intro post I'm a card carrying geek/nerd. So it should come as little surprise that I am loving both "The Flash" and "Arrow" series. So when the time came for a pair of cross over episodes the little geek in my heart had flashbacks of watching Hercules and Xena crossovers when I was in school. Needless to say I went into the two day event with high hopes. But did the two day event live up to my expectations? Let's find out and just so that you have been warned, possible spoilers ahead.

First we have "The Flash" season 1 episode 8 "Flash vs Arrow". In this episode Barry and his team are trying to track down a metahuman who can manipulate emotions through eye contact. During a show down where the meta (who Cisco names Prism at the end of the episode, more on the name later).

As you may have guessed early in the episode Batman ... I mean Arrow shows up just in time to keep Barry and Joe for possibly being shot by the enraged cop. We find out that Ollie, Diggle, and Felicity are there in part to have star labs take a look at some evidence they don't have the equipment to fully examine themselves.

Barry seems to idolize Ollie and wants to work with him. Ollie is resistant to the idea, but reluctantly agrees to train and help him out. Ollie being the Bruce Wayne of this universe decides he needs to train Barry. Teach him the important of tactical awareness and knock him down a peg or two. This is done with a typical Ollie lecture and using Barry's arrogance and dependence on his speed against him. Barry leaves the scene a little resentful about being shot in the back with a pair of arrows. But the message to Barry was that he had to be more aware of his surroundings (maybe a play to Batman begins given the Ra's al Ghul story arch happening on Arrow this season).

Eventually Barry gets a lean on where to find Prism. And predictably runs in without a plan and gets "whammed". The effects take longer to hit Barry then they did others. So instead of a drastic sudden turn, Barry gets more and more irritated as time goes on, until he explodes and starts going after people. This leads to the inevitable confrontation between Ollie and Barry.

I saw an interview once where Stan Lee said (I forget the exact quote but I will summarize), anytime you have two heroes fight you want it to end in a draw. This episode takes that advice to heart and Ollie eventually manages (with some help from Diggle, Wells and the others) to calm Barry down.

They then go after Prism, it's probably not much of a spoiler to say that Ollie and Barry win and lock Prism up.

Now back to "Prism". I did a quick search on the DC comics character and the only one who popped up didn't fit. While it is concluded the character in the show uses colors to induce rage and presumably other emotions if he wanted to. The comic character's bio made no mention of controlling emotions. But using light for other effects (that weren't specified). But before they named him in the episode I was thinking this guy fit the bill for a reimagining of Psycho Pirate. A DC villain who uses a "Medusa mask" in control and amplify the emotions of his enemies. I think this is most likely who they based this character after but found the name too hooky of TV so they flipped the names.

From the preview next weeks episode, things are going to start hitting the fan as it looks like Professor Zoom/The Reverse Flash is finally going to have a face to face with Barry.

This being my first attempt that writing a review I figure I will try to work in a score system.

Story: B

It was a good engaging episode and kept my attention throughout. Nothing earth shattering but it worked. Though I thought they may have been able to do a better job playing up Joes mistrust of The Arrow.

Overall: A-

The episode gets a nice boost for working in Ollie, Diggle and Felicity. The fight sequence between Barry and Ollie was really well done, all of which would give it a boost from a B to a B+. The reminder of the jump is simply because we got to see Felicity with her shirt off. ;-)

This ended up being longer then I wanted so I will review the second half of this cross over in another episode. But I would love to hear your thoughts. Did you see the episode? What did you think? What do you think would happen in a full out fight between Flash and Arrow (either the TV or Comic versions)?
