If you could become with one fictional character (book, show, or movie) who would it be? Lestat de Lioncourt from Interview with the Vampire for sure. But with a better outcome in his existence. I know he can be a complete twat at times, but I don't think there is a more cool character that will come to mind any time soon. A close second would be Doctor Who as played by Matt Smith (11th Doctor). He had style in spades, with a hint of being pansexual, but not a certainty of it. The energy of this incarnation was I think the best of all of them. But I'd still rather be Lestat.

The following are animated movies that pushed the boundaries in the 1970's and at times went well over the line for most people. There would seen as offensive, dangerous, and/or disturbing and all ended up banned in several countries around the world. Some have racial content that was over the line at the time - some have sexual contend (including nonconsensual) - Others where just extremely violent for the intended audience, or where considered politically dangerous. 1.

OK, it's been a hell of a two weeks actually. I've had several appointments to go to for medical reasons this last two weeks. This had me in busy waiting rooms with a lot of people I don't know at all. This makes me very uncomfortable and in some case on the edge of a full on panic attack. This last one was just that, on the edge of panic the entire time. They wanted me in a half hour early, then made me sit there longer than if I was to come at the original time. I was there about 40 minutes. There where young kids, and for some reason they trigger the anxiety stronger than adults. I've got no idea why, but it's the way it is. The only comfort I had, was no one sat right beside me, and there was an empty space between me and this little girl. I have to say, she was in a great mood for someone who was about to see a pediatrician. I remember being a kid, and hating going to the doctor. But in my day, they where all kind of rough with kids and not one of them had a fr...

I've been a nudist all my life (for the most part). It started when I was very young and I don't remember a time before it when I was dressed in pajamas at night - but there are photos of me like that. My Dad, my Brother and I used to be nude in the home after 9pm and thought nothing of it. We would watch TV together and just generally be fee from the restraints of clothing. This gave me a good sense of self that for most of my life has stayed with me. I've rarely been ashamed of my body, and I've rarely cared what others think of it. There was a short time in my early teens where I had issues with this, but that seems to be normal, even for nudists. In my late teens I started visiting nudist friendly locations within a day trip distance from me (there are not many). In my 20's I went to a lot of nudist camps and a couple of resorts (both in the USA - don't recall the names as it's been many years). There have also been many trips to nudist beaches in my day...

You can get these here in Canada at Rexall. They are currently at $1.79 a bag. In the last year, the price has gone up about $0.80. However, it's a great deal for the quality of chips you get from them. The taste is of Jalapeño and a hint of cheddar cheese and a very slight hint of lime. The most predominant taste of course is Jalapeño. They are a thick crinkle cut chip and good for dipping. I think if you had a mango salsa with these, it would be awesome. They are extremely salty as are almost all chips. In fact there is a Health Canada warning on it for sodium. So it's going to make you thirsty. But on a side note with that - on a hot day when you been sweating a lot, it's actually good to consume sodium - yes, it's had for the heart and all, but you need it, and when very low on it, you get muscle cramps. The heat from these is not a natural heat to me. It has that chemical burn to it that you get with fake spiciness. It's also kind of hotter than it should be fo...

All of the thumbnails below where generated on Bing Image Generator . A beautiful female ninja in a dark, misty forest at night. She has long black hair tied into a high ponytail, wearing a sleek black tactical ninja outfit with subtle red accents. Her eyes are sharp and focused, holding a katana in one hand with the blade glowing faintly from moonlight. Her pose is graceful but powerful, as if ready to strike. The scene is backlit with fog and soft light from paper lanterns in the distance. Her expression is calm, determined, and mysterious. A tall figure draped in robes made of autumn leaves that fall and regenerate continuously. Face partially obscured by a hood, showing only a strong jawline and lips that hint at both beauty and death. Carries a scythe with a handle made of intertwined branches and a blade that seems to be forged from crystallized frost. Crown of thorns and autumn berries. A futuristic old man traveler wearing a stylish suit and AI-integrated modest wear stands con...

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be many things when I was a child, and not once did I want to be a good or a grounds keeper or a house painter - or any of the jobs I actually ended up doing as an adult. I wanted to be a cop like my Dad of course. I wanted to be a fire fighter. I wanted to be a truck driver. I wanted to be a race car driver. I wanted to be a fighter piolet. There where many others as well, but you get the point. When I saw some job I though was cool on TV, I wanted to be that. The only job not from TV was a cop. Dad was a cop and I wanted to be like him. I realized as a teen that being a cop would suck because of the people you had to deal with, so I did not try for that one.

What is your favorite quality about your best friend? She had the exact same personality that I have. We where the same person with different bodies. I would have to say I liked her personality the best. In particular her sense of humor.

What do you wish you had done differently? 1. I wish I had never joined a youth group that ended up with me being molested by my youth pastor. It's amazing how often you hear about child abuse of child porn and it's a bloody pastor or some kind of person who works with kids. Almost always a person who calls themselves a Christian in our country. 2. Went to Africa to work when I had the opportunity. I think it would have looked great on a resume and the experience would most likely have make me a much bolder person when dealing with the world. 3. Never worked for a commission selling stuff. I tried this twice, and both times ended up loosing money on the bloody job. I was worse off after both times, and it wasted a lot of my time trying to be a sales person when I don't have the personality to do that. You have to be rather exploitive to do it I think, and make money. 4. Become a cook a lot more early in my life, and not wasted a pile of money on education (student loans) fo...
