Everyone should have their own time travel device that allows them to go back to points where they wish they’d done something different, and then, by trial and error, eventually get to an awesome future.
Screw this nonsense that everything happens for a reason.
Although there probably will be some people who use this power for global domination.
But…you get to change your life and fix your mistakes so…cool, yes?
Discuss.
Good morning 3.5 Readers.
As regular readers, you’re aware that Bookshelf Q. Battledog holds the esteemed position of Security Chief of Bookshelf Q. Battler Headquarters.
That’s right. All enemies of BQB HQ must go through this furry protector:
QUESTION: Do you think BQBD is sufficiently scary? If you were an enemy of BQBHQ, would you cower in terror upon seeing him or punt him like a football and then engage in a hostile takeover of the Bookshelf Battle Blog as the evil Yeti did a couple years ago?
You wouldn’t know it to look at him, but he has actually devoured 7,345 intruders alive. He also knows karate, ninjutsu, kung-fu and tae kwon do.
But I don’t know. There’s just something about him that makes me worry he may not be sufficiently intimidating.
And when you run a blog dedicated to putting more awesomeness in the world, I really need a fearsome beast that will protect me from all who would seek to stop the awesome.
I can’t figure it out. Maybe he needs to work out more. Hit the gym a little.
What say you, 3.5 readers?
But alas the news is too sad to discuss anyway.
Sorry. I did not post a daily discussion with BQB yesterday.
I hate to admit it but I find myself preoccupied with all the news on TV. I should probably turn it off as it isn’t going to get better anytime soon.
This isn’t a political blog, yet at times like these, it’s difficult not to say something.
I believe the Western world, and the United States in particular, is the best because you have so many different groups of people and the people, at least those in the mainstream, realize everyone can be different, work towards common goals and still disagree on many aspects of life but continue to live near one another.
Orlando, Florida is representative of that.
You’ve got a bustling night club scene where all kinds of partying happens.
Minutes away you’ve got a “world” dedicated to providing wholesome entertainment involving a cartoon mouse.
The cartoon mouse lovers don’t protest the night clubs en masse. The night club partiers don’t try to put a rave hat on Mickey Mouse (as funny as that would be.)
You probably even have a lot of people who go back and forth between both worlds. Cartoon mouse lovers feel the need to party sometimes. Party people sometimes feel the need to pretend that a cartoon mouse loves them.
Both worlds exist within the same city. They have for years and neither world has felt the need to stop the other in order to continue to exist.
This is all just the rantings of a nerd I suppose.
What I’m getting at is the West works when we all get up, go about our daily lives, work together on our common interests, then at the end of the day, stay out of one another’s personal lives.
It’s not perfect and it doesn’t always work out, but it’s a better system than other parts of the world where you must do exactly as the powers the be say or else.
I don’t know the answer to any of this madness.
But I just hope people don’t take their freedom here for granted.
Every time you type on your blog, keep in mind there are places in the world where blogging is either outright banned or so hazardous as to make it not worth doing.
And that’s even if you just write about zombies and yetis and magic bookshelves.
Be kind to each other, 3.5 readers.
As Bill and Ted once said, “Be excellent to each other.”
Millennials, Bill and Ted were these California dudes who…nope. Never mind. Google it.
What say you, 3.5 readers?
Uh…hey Orlando, I thought you were the happiest place on Earth.
Eh…seems odd to not say anything about it though all of the usual “I’m offering my prayers” and so on seems nauseating.
What say you, 3.5 readers?
Good morning 3.5 readers.
Some sad news today. A 22 year old singer from The Voice, Christina Grimmie, was shot and killed after a concert in Orlando, Florida last night.
I’m kind of an old fuddy duddy and I don’t watch shows like the Voice so I’d never heard of her before but it sounds like many of you had.
As I read the stories, it becomes increasingly sad. She got her start on YouTube, utilized social media to get her music out there to the world, really took advantage of what technology allows today for budding young creative people.
Imagine being young and on top of the world, plus how happy all her family and friends around her must of been and then that to happen out of nowhere.
Obviously the guy was crazy. I was going to go on a rant about why crazy people do what they do but I will await the news to report the details of the specific kind of crazy that the guy was.
Generally speaking, while suicide isn’t the answer and in a perfect world, the mentally unstable would get mental help before doing something like this, I don’t understand why crazy people who get to this low point often feel the need to take someone with them rather than just go out alone.
Again, I don’t want to speculate further. My assumption is he must have been some kind of obsessed fan but we’ll probably find out more as the story develops.
What say you, 3.5 readers?
I believe they are. They appear to be dumb pets but secretly, they plot evil conspiracies.
Shit. Isn’t there a kids’ movie based on this?
Worst daily discussion ever. Discuss anyway.
Good morning nerds.
BQB here.
Is it possible to make a good Fantastic Four movie?
At first, I’d argue no. The source material is dumb. A rock monster and a rubber man, an invisible woman and a guy who can set himself on fire at will?
Well, then again every other comic book movie, in essence, is equally dumb.
The movies that came out in the 2000’s stunk. Then the most recent reboot last year was panned by critics. I didn’t think it was horrible but it didn’t blow me away either.
In all the movies, I feel there was a failure to capitalize on Dr. Doom. A scary character/dictator…really had potential to be super naughty.
What say you, 3.5 readers? Is is possible to make a good Fab Four movie?
I am uninspired. Just talk about anything.
