John Browns and Aliens

Some people have nightmares about monsters, ghosts, murders or going to school naked. I have nightmares about aliens and this man.


Spooky isn't he. This is Old John Brown, the abolitionist or terrorist depending on your take. Here are some of his quotes.

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood."

"I want you to understand that I respect the rights of the poorest and weakest of colored people, oppressed by the slave system, just as much as I do those of the most wealthy and powerful. That is the idea that has moved me, and that alone."

Some of his action include hacking slave owners to death with broadswords and an unsuccessful slaver upriseing in Harper's Ferry that he began 150 years ago today.

I am as opposed to slavery as the next man, I just don't think killig people with swords as a workable solution.

Can you imagine how intense a nightmare about John Brown being an Alien would be? Or maybe John Brown, Clown, Aleins?

Things I don't Really Understand

This is a list of things I don't really "get" or understand.

1. Margarine - I know it supposed to be better for your heart, but butter is truly one the greatest inventions of mankind. Butter turns the boring and tasteless into a kaleidoscopes of pure joy.

2. Fat jokes - I am an Eagle Scout and to be honest the only thing I gained from the entire experience was a long list of fart jokes. Actually it is really only one joke with a number of subtle variations. No cleaver Jokes about Empire, Flags, Cakes, like the link below, just fart jokes.

3. Why my 2 year old enjoys walking around with his pants around his ankles. Really, everyday I come home he come walking in with his pants around his ankles all smiling and happy to see me.

4. Why am I obsessed with Dylan Moran? I think I have seen him in everything he has done.
