Rip it apart

Dear Readers,

Havok is a huge 'gina.

Love,
Sabretooth

We'd never get anything done that way, baby

Two thoughts on music related subjects:

1) I'm perplexed as to why Susanna Hoffs doesn't get more credit. She fronted one of the most popular all female bands whose name started with a "B", and yet no one really talks about her anymore. She is/was gorgeous and while not technically the greatest singer ever to walk this earth, she put her back into it. But really, you can actually freeze the moment that makes Hoffs so fantastic. Rent "The Allnighter". With about 15 minutes left she goes to finally seduce the guy she's wanted throughout college. Her dress falls off her shoulder and she flashes this look that is seriously the sexiest thing I have ever...EVER...seen. It's unreal. I have no doubt that look was employed on her rise to the top. My only question is how many times?

2) I realized my life would be completely different had "Something to Write Home About" not come out. It hasn't withstood all the advances in the genre as well as one might have hoped, but I can say without question that it changed my life. How many albums are worthy of that claim? Two? Three? There have been some damn good ones, but life changing? It's a rare honor. Would I have the same friends? I might not be dating Polaris if not for that album. It can be traced back that far. Weird. Wolverine says Sensefield would have filled the void, but I'm skeptical. That Wolverine and his crazy ideas about music AND the Canadian government.

H-Bomb

If it all ended tonight

So, just as an aside, if you search in Google for "80's era Storm", guess which blog comes up first.

Mine, motherfuckers, mine.

Yesterday was my birthday, usually reserved for hiding in the closet, only to be lured out by the promise of Gummi worms. This actually happened once upon a long time ago.

But the family and a few friends came together (Gambit, Angel, Rogue, Polaris, Wolverine - for those of you who are enjoying this X-Men game) and the whole thing turned out to be pretty damn fun. Gifts were minimal which is highly preferred. Perhaps that was what I didn't like all those years?

I hope you are enjoying the number one searched for blog on Google.*


*I'll interpret the facts however I want.

Battlestations

In the third person, in honor of Rickey Henderson: Havok had a dream last night that he was on an army base with a bunch of soldiers and some civilians. Civilians kept dying in weird ways. Havok thinks the cast of Reno 911! was there. Havok isn't sure if the dream was farcical or serious, but people were dying a lot. No one seemed to care. Eventually, planes and fast moving helicopters started dropping bombs on the army base...then Havok was scared.

Clearly, Bolgger and I are still getting to know each other. I'm sure we'll work out the kinks sooner or later. Bear with us both in the process.

Have I mentioned my kick ass ideas for weddings? Here are three you can have/ have without asking:

1) The bride comes out first (breaking with tradition, I know) dressed as Princess Leia. A lot of rebel soldiers are with her. Then Stormtroopers come out and kill all the rebel soldiers in a reenactment of the opening to Episode IV: A New Hope. Then, Vader's music plays and out comes the groom. Wedding proceeds as normal.

2) Ask all your friends to create old-school science fair exhibits made out of those cardboard stands highlighting moments in their relationship with you. You could put them all on display before the wedding so people are bored. Then, you could move them to the reception so the nerds and social outcasts had somehwere to hide and have awkward sex with each other. Because it would be like a maze....only no Minotaur. Leading to a funny/ obnoxious joke where you point at your mother-in-law and say, "The Minotaur got out!"

3) Instead of ring bearers, use actual bears. This is expensive and a little dangerous. It would be nice if you could drain the bears and wipe blood on their lips and have scraps of a small tuxedo stuck to them. Then people might wonder if the ring bear had eaten the ring bearer.

Last time I checked, this was still America.

PS: It was decided last night that the most unattractive thing a girl can do on a first date is not snorting, but shitting her pants. True story.

Whereas before

See, I'm not actually going to tell anyone who they are. It'll make things interesting when I say I saw Sunspot and Psylocke giving each other handjobs on the front porch. And that I'm only telling you this because we're such good friends.

I miss 80's era Storm. I haven't seen her in a while, or heard from her for that matter.

But yes, Sunfire, there are Asian characters. Quite a few actually. The obsession with Japan that swept this nation of ours didn't leave out the comics industry.

I received a copy of The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell (a welcome respite since I wasn't actually enjoying Everything Is Illuminated all that much) from Polaris. This dude is really smart, but sometimes I feel like I'm just taking everything he says for granted. I need to try to turn that inner voice that says, "This is not fact. It may all be bullshit." I think it's important to listen to that voice...all the time.

Anyway, I'm off to Genosha to kick the shit out of Cameron Hodge.
