Concerning BP

Figured I'd take a step aside from random things and talk alittle about BP. I saw on the news today that they finally recapped their damn leak, and now we only have to deal with the horrifying amount of oil that did leak out before they finally got off their collective asses and fabricated a better plug. I mean honestly, they pull it off, then have to wait days to put another back on? Why? Are they fabricating the parts by hand? It just makes no sense. You pre-fab the new cap...take the old one off...then..and this is the shocking part so bear with me..you put the NEW one on RIGHT THEN. Crazy, I know. Apparently the amount of oil that had already spilled out wasn't enough so they decided to let abit more out...spit on the gulf alittle more. No worries.

I for one am still not going to buy their gas until every drop is picked up out of the gulf.

It's three in the morning...where is your mind at?

Sometimes I like to post a random thing, just something different. Today I drove to the store to get some things and got caught in what I swear was a monsoon....for about 3 minutes. Clear as day about 2 miles up the road!

Weather in SC is weird, that much I will own up to. Its also muggy, and hot. But anyway.

When it gets late like this my mind tends to wander, like its trying to decompress in a million different directions with none of those directions involving sleep. I like sleep, I really do, I just dont feel like its that time yet you know?

Oh - recently got into the anime Hellsing. If you haven't seen this I shame you forever. Its the polar opposite of what Twilight vampires are. In twilight the vampires are man-boys with sparkles that woo innocent girls with a gentle kiss to the neck and platitudes to her ego.

I call BS.

In Hellsing the vampires are psychotic killers that can summon demons, change their shape at will, and carry freaking hand cannons with 13mm rounds.

I call AWESOME.

So if your looking for something that is cool, just happens to be vampire related, and more importantly ISN'T Twilight I HIGHLY recommend Hellsing. Its short, violent, and has a half decent plot if your paying attention. It comes in two flavors - Hellsing (short 13 episode anime that just seems to....end. I was kinda disappointed) and Ultimate Hellsing (only 8 or 9 episodes long but they are longer, pack more plot in per episode, and have better visuals.) The music in the regular Hellsing is better, but the visuals are better in Ultimate Hellsing. Both are readily available in Japanese OR English, with the added bonus of the English voice cast NOT sucking.

Give it a shot sometime and hit me up with what you thought!
