All I have to say about the following link is that even though I am not (yet) a police officer I fully believe everything said in the following post. I believe it so much that I'm taking the police test for my county in just a few weeks. I know my chances of actually getting the job are slim (it's not a good time to be taking the police test in my district) but that's why I'm a criminal justice major and there are plenty of other districts I can go to and take their tests.

It's the end of the world as we know it
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane,
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
Serves its own needs, dont misserve your own needs. Feed
It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength,turn, ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
In a fire, representing seven games, in a government
For hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in
A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team
By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
Overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save
Yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
The revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
Patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
Psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign
Towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
Churn. Locking in, uniforming,and book burning, blood
Letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
Fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,
a Tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,
Offer me alternatives and I decline
(chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (it's time I had some
time alone)
I feel fine
(repeat chorus)
The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
Drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You
Symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right
(repeat chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (it's time I had some
time alone)
(repeat chorus 2x)
Fine
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
- R.E.M.
And, as a bonus, a video! Since the world is apparently ending today I thought I'd go all out. Enjoy! And, to quote a great man... "I'll see you in hell!"
(If you don't know that's Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back then you make me sad...)

Nine in the Afternoon
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah, we're feeling so good
Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can
Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could, 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could, 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good
Back to the street, down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do ya know what I mean?
Back to the place where we used to stay
Man, it feels good to feel this way
And now I know what I mean
Back to the street, back to the place
Back to the room where it all began
Back to the room where it all began
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could, 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could, 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could, 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do

21
I've been trying to write it off
But I'm doing all I can
To take the slur out of my words
You do your best to understand
I'm keeping you in mind
But I'm getting out of hand
Pour the medicine that keeps me right
Is settling
I get so easily distracted
It's 7 and I'm already wasted
I'm 21 and I'm already hazy
What am I gonna, what am I gonna do?
It's 7 and I'm already wasted
I'm 21 and I'm already hazy
What am I gonna...
I'm gonna stand up and brush it off
And I'll become a better man
I've been trying to explain myself
But no one understands
I'm getting out of line
But I'm keeping all my plans
My movements and my messages are all I said
But my constant contradictions
It's 7 and I'm already wasted
I'm 21 and I'm already hazy
What am I gonna, what am I gonna do?
It's 7 and I'm already wasted
I'm 21 and I'm already hazy
What am I gonna, what am I gonna say?
What do you do here in the moment?
What do you say?
What do you do?
What do you need?
7 and I'm already wasted
I'm 21 and I'm already hazy
What am I gonna, what am I gonna do?
It's 7 and I'm already wasted
I'm 21 and I'm already hazy
What am I gonna, what am I gonna do?

This song came up on my Pandora radio station the other day and I enjoyed it thoroughly being a 21 year old myself. So I had to share.

Midtown Comics Free Comic Book Day
Yesterday was Free Comic Book Day! As I mentioned in another post I was going to be attending with a cosplayer group. Most of the members went to the downtown location but I went to the Times Square one because it was closer and easier for me to get to. I had a really great time just hanging out and talking to some of the people waiting in line and hopefully amusing them. Anyway, all the pictures are up on their Facebook page here. From there you can check out all the photos from their three locations.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one:
Also, I was given a free pass for an advanced screening of the movie Priest which I will be going to on Thursday with my dad. We have no expectations from that movie, but it should be a fun thing to do on an otherwise boring Thursday night.
I am now off to enjoy my free comic books!

Free Comic Book Day!
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day! That's right, head to your local comic book store and (assuming they're participating, which, if they're smart they will be) they should have a selection of free comic books to choose from! And if they're really cool, they'll be like Midtown Comics here in the city and have a big celebration type thing. And if they're very very cool like Midtown Comics, they'll have people dressed up in costume!
That's right, I'm going to be at Midtown Comics dressed up, because I'm really cool that way. My Jedi costume is 90% finished (meaning it's acceptable to be worn and looks really cool but not good enough for Rebel Legion standards because I'm missing about two things) so I will be there with another group of costumers promoting comics and the store and otherwise just looking really spiffy in our costumes. No, we're not getting paid for it, we're just doing it because it's an excuse to dress up and have a whole lot of fun. When else will I get to take the subway wearing half my tunic and carrying my lightsaber and not feel like a crazy person? Ok, maybe on my way to some other NYC convention, but I don't have any of those lined up.
I've been looking forward to free comic book day pretty much the entire semester! Here's a preview of me wearing most of my costume that I took while I was in Philadelphia visiting a friend of mine.
For anyone wondering, I still have to get my mom to make the undershirt for my tunic (I'm wearing an an inside out Star Wars t-shirt here), she has to make me better pants and the tabards. I'd also like to get new boots for it, but the ones I have for now are fine. They're not shown in this picture.
Anyway, if you're in NYC come down to Midtown Comics and check out all the cool people in costume, and if you're not, still head to your local comic book store and see if they're participating in free comic book day!

Star Wars Day!
*cue grand John Williams theme*
That's right, folks, today is official Star Wars day! May the Fourth be with you! My plans include wearing my Adidas Star Wars sneakers, writing more Star Wars stories with my friend (we don't need a special occasion to do that), and watching at least one of the movies. Probably Episode III, that's kind of my fall-back for whenever I want to watch one and I want equal parts comedy and action. Because, let's face it, anything with Anakin and Padme in it is just lol-worthy.
Also, my friend sent me a link to download Star Wars games and today they are 15% off! Check it out at direct2drive. Use the code MAYTHE4TH when you buy a Star Wars game. I've got my eye on Dark Forces. Kyle Katarn FTW!
Does anyone have any special Star Wars day plans? Let me know in the comments! Maybe next year with some careful planning I'll have a bunch of friends over and we'll have some kind of epic party. Or I'll just spend it watch Star Wars movies all day again. Who knows. Whatever. May the Fourth be with you!
