I made a decision this morning while casually thinking about it...

I NEVER seem to update either my Beanie Baby page, or my Action Figure page...

The main reason for the non-updates are due to the slowing down of my collecting of these items. I haven't purchased a Beanie Baby in a rather long time. I started limiting myself to bears only some time ago, and my other non-bear beanies were stuffed into a contianer in my closet. I plan on selling my non-bears on eBay, but never seem to get around to it. Since I moved a week ago, I'm basically going to have to leave my Bears mostly in storage. In my house I used to have a shelf about 8" down from the ceeling, which comfortably housed all my bears. As it stands, I don't have the ability to put a shelf like this into my appartment. I am deffinetly going to keep the Bears, though I'm not quite sure where I will store them... When I do sell the rest, I've no doubt I will take a huge loss on them. I bought most of them at retail of $6.99, and if I sell them in bulk, I will probably average around $1 each...

I am still actively buying action figures, though over 95% of my collection is in boxes. My action figure page has not been updated to reflect the fact that I now have somewhere in the naborhood of 200+ figures. In my house around 70% of them were in storage due to having no room to keep them. My action figure collection is unique, however, so a lot of several random action figures probably wouldn't sell so well. Most of the ones I'm keeping out now are some of my more prized ones. They include my Matrix sentinel (the huge one from McFarlane), my real world Neo (which goes pefeclty next to the sentinel). My (McFarlane) Jean Sebastian Giguere action figure (the goaly from the Mighty Ducks, from when they came within 3 points of winning the Stanley Cup), my McFarlane Preditor action figure, a Raiden and Goro action figure (from Mortal Kombat), My Inaction figures from Clerks (I have the color Dante & Randel, along with the black & white Dante & Randel which I actually bought last night), and a few others...

Being these will pretty much all remain in storage, I don't have any method of documenting or photographing any of them. Which basically means my pages won't be updated with new information. The pages also don't really give any useful information, so it's not like having them is giving anybody something they can use in relation to them...

The one collection page I have that will definetly stay up is my Baking Powder Submarine page. This is fairly easy to update, as my collection fits entirely in a small plastic container. Also I gave lots of information on the page that actually may be useful to some... And being it's now currently the premier page on the net about BP Subs, I've not intention of taking it down. If you search for either "Baking Powder Submarine" or "Baking Soda Submarine" on Google, you will find my page comes in either first or second. The only one that ever beats mine is for a framed patent, and really doesn't say anything about the subs themselves...

This is about it. I don't know when I will get to the update, but will probably do it the first chance I get...

I just head this and am offended beyond belief!

I was just listening to the radio & heard a report that said something along the lines of:

A teacher in the San Francisco area has been told he cannot share documents that refer to "God" with his students. The teacher is suing the school.

THIS IS BULL! THE ISSUE IS NOT SHARING DOCUMENTS THAT REFER TO "GOD", IT'S SHARING THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!!!

The teacher was told he could not use the Decloration of independence in class. He could not share the text of the document that served as the backbone for the United States Of America. Without this document, we would have remained a colony of England, and the United States would not exist!!!

Learn about the Declaration of Independence, and just how important it was here (it's very short).

It's amazing how far the liberal media will go to report something that contains no content of the real issue...

Los Angeles Talk Show Hosts Find Killing American Troops Funny

I find this whole article rather amusing. Being a semi-regular listener to the show, and having heard this interview on the radio when it aired, I decided to send an email. The bottom of the article says they will post comments they receive on the article, so it will be interesting to see if they post my email. I'm going to post it here, so you can follow the link above and see if they actually do post the email...

I'll laugh if they don't, since they would pretty much only be doing so to preserve their flawed story...

This is a direct copy paste from the email...

RE: Los Angeles Talk Show Hosts Find Killing American Troops Funny

I find this little article rather amusing, especially after listening to the clip...

The John & Ken show is extremely sarcastic & has a comedic undertone, even during serious conversations. It's clear from the clip (and I was listening to the full show on KFI when it aired) they were laughing at the screaming and loss of control the interviewee expressed when Ken said "Oh, so you think Schwarzenegger is going to kill 6 million people".

Upon the screaming loss of control, John started laughing, in the same manner I did when I heard the interview. Upon the beginning of the laughter, the interviewee comes back with a scream lacking anything resembling control saying "Killing American solders is funny?" and John replied in the sarcastic overtone he is known for. With the interviewee so far gone during the exchange, there was little reason for John to take the statement seriously. And frankly, I don't blame him.


What amuses me even more is the mere fact that this is now being posted as if the statement made by John was a serious one. If someone believes this is, then I would have to say they've never actually listened to the John & Ken show. There is a reason their show is #1 in the LA area among conservatives... And if you don't believe that I'd like to point out the fact that their "Political Human Sacrifice" campaign against David Dryer (REP) came within a few points of actually unseating him, on the issue of illegal immigration...

I'll be watching to see if you post this comment...

We'll see what happens...

Well, it's been a couple weeks since my last blog. I think this is the longest amount of time I've gone without blogging for a very long time...

I'm now located in my new appartment. All my stuff was moved pretty much on Saturday. I was very fortunate that a large group of friends from my Career Fellowship group (from CCCTO & CCCO) helped me move all my stuff. I would probably only have half my furnature without them...

I'm still without cable, so I've not kept up with the news. Probably one reason I haven't been blogging...

I have found time to do some updates to my page on Baking Powder Submarines. It appears to be drawing a little traffic, which makes me happy. I added some pictures this morning. With any luck I'll get a little more time to take a few more tonight... Assuming I don't spend all my time continuing to unpack...

'INTENT' STAR FAINTS ON THE SET

This is unfortunate, as I really like Vincent D'Onofrio's character in the Law & Order: Criminal Intent series. It's him that actually made CI my favorite over the original Law & Order series...

He is a rabid Kerry supporter (which in itself doesn't bother me that much). Since Kerry lost, however:

Tensions on the "Criminal Intent" set are running high. "No one thinks Vincent will last for much longer," the insider said.

"He is so hard to work with -- a total freak. He constantly complains about the scripts and has held up production a lot."

Oh well... I knew the show would loose him eventually, and I think it will be very hard to find someone who can fill his character's shoes... In my opinion he IS the show. Truly unfortunate...

Torgo - Baking Powder Submarines

I spent some time today adding some content to my BP Subs page. If you don't know what a BP Sub is, check the page, it explains it...

I still don't have any pictures, which is pretty much what I've wanted from the begining. Hopefully I'll get around to photographing the ones I have in the near future...

Spaceship team gets its $10 million prize

It's now official. SpaceShipOne has collected the $10 million X-Prize. Graned, the ship cost way more than $10 million to build, however this is quite an achievement.

I'm still in awe, as I seriously never thought I'd see a private organization make it into space within my lifetime. I'm now very excited as to what other space goals will happen in my lifetime...

Well, now that Bush has won, I now feel the political posts in my blog have served their purpose. While I will very likely post more political stuff on occasion, I want to try & move my blog away from being a predominately political blog...

I do realize many of you may have disagreed with some of my points of view here, while still visiting my site to look at other sections (the most popular being my About Torgo page).

You have every right to disagree with me & I fully respect that your perspectives may be different from mine. My mother is a Democrat, and I definitely hold nothing against her. We have disagreed with each-other politically on many occasions, but the issues really don't mean much in the big picture...

So relax, don't think that since I don't share your opinion you should avoid every portion of my site at all costs... If everybody shared the same opinion, life would be dreadfully boring and hopelessly meaningless...

NHL cancels All-Star Weekend

Being a hockey fan (Mighty Ducks being my team), I've been rather down about this season. For those who don't follow hockey, there was a lock out after contract negotiations went unsuccessful... Basically there's been no season up to now...

Being there's no All Star game, I think it's safe to say there will be no season at all. I had held out hope that something would happen, but unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way...

And to think I was anxious with having to wait between the end of last season & start of this one...

I'm rolling on this one, apparently Kerry's campaign released a statement... Something along the lines of: With a quarter of a million votes still left in Ohio, we think the call is premature and when their done being counted Kerry will come out on top!

Being that Kerry is down well over 200,000 votes, that would mean Kerry would pretty much need EVERY ONE OF THOSE VOTES!!!

This one is rich! I litarally couldn't stop laughing!!!

Fox News has projected a Bush victory!!!

It quickly called Alaska, which was a given anyway, which has put Bush at 269 (after having called Ohio for Bush). Assuming Kerry could pull every other state on the map, it would create a tie. This in turn would push the vote to the House, which being controled by Republicans, would obvously go to Bush...

It's possible Ohio could do a 180, but at this point pretty much the only networks choosing not to call it are thoes dominated by the liberal media.

I found it amuzing a few minutes ago after flipping past CBS, hearing Dan Rath
In other words the liberal media refuses to call it, even though the Kerry HQ rally is as quiet is a library after closing hours... They know the truth, and hopefully tommorow so will the rest of the nation - and the world!!!

I don't plan on blogging again tonight, so if things do somehow go 180 (right after pigs fly out of a frozen hell), I've put the time I blogged this at to give proper reference...

JS Online: Weblog

If Democrats claim that Republicans are trying to keep people from voting, and they are trying to allow everyone to vote, how can you chalk this up into that sentiment?

The tires of at least 30 cars and vans rented by the Republican Party to carry voters to the polls were slashed, Milwaukee police said this morning. The discovery was made at 6:30 a.m., said Sgt. Mark Wroblewski.

The rental cars were parked near a GOP office in the 7100 block of W. Capitol Dr. Wroblewski said "at least" 30 cars were disabled. At least one tire was slashed and in some cases, all four tires were cut. Detectives were on the scene, the sergeant said. Police had no suspects in custody as of 8 a.m.

Again, not surprised...

Granted, the Republicans are not without faults (I've never said our party is perfect), however the comparison is like a random pond to the Pacific Ocean...

Meanwhile, Milwaukee police were called to a John Kerry campaign office, 633 S. Hawley Road, at 5:40 a.m. because at least two people were blocking the parking lot exit, preventing Kerry supporters from leaving the parking lot and screaming and spitting on cars, said Sgt. Willie Murphy. The officers removed the disruptive people but no arrests were made, he said.

Democrats Suppress The Vote in Florida

This is appauling. Kerry releases a document saying to claim voter intimidation even if there is none, then when there is intimidation against Republicans (along with evidence) this is what the Dems say?

It's just absurd they would try to accuse us of intimidation efforts...

And if you don't think there is any intimidation against Republicans in Florida, read this...

One woman who voted early in Boca Raton, at the Southwest County Regional Library, complained that as she stood in line, two men behind her were 'trashing our president,' Fletcher said, declining to identify the woman. She tried to ignore them. Then the man touched her arm and said, 'Who are you voting for?'
'I said, `I don't think that's an appropriate question,'' the woman said she responded.
'Uh oh! We have a Bush supporter here,' screamed the man behind her.
For the 2 1/2 hours she had to wait in line, she was heckled by the man. As they neared the voting room, someone in the rear of the line yelled, 'I sure hope everyone here is voting for Kerry!' she reported.
That's when the man behind her held his hand over her head and screamed, 'We have a Republican right here!' There were 'boos and jeers' from the crowd.
'I felt intimidated, harassed and threatened!' the woman wrote in her complaint to the Republican Party.
Elaine Fandino complained to the Republican Party that she took her mother to vote on South Military Trail in Palm Beach County and was confronted by 25 people supporting John Kerry for president. The crowd was 'very angry and used foul language,' she reported. She said the man next to her said, 'Where's my shotgun?'

NBC Finally Joins Kerry Campaign

I made a post some time ago about John Kerry's Unreleased War Record. Someone replied to that post pointing to John Kerry's record posted by him on his website. I explained that there is no way of telling weather or not that which was posted was his FULL record. Well, Kerry finally admitted that it is NOT his full record!

In an interview with Tom Brokaw:

Brokaw: Someone has analyzed the President's military aptitude tests and yours, and concluded that he has a higher IQ than you do.

Kerry: That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it, because my record is not public. So I don't know where you're getting that from.

Interestingly, NBC responded by updating their transcript to reflect the following:

Brokaw: Someone has analyzed the president's military aptitude tests and yours, and concluded that he has a higher IQ than you do.

Kerry: That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it.

Basically NBC is now hiding Kerry's words to help cover his confession... Of coarse, I don't think this is as big of a deal as Kerry's admission that his full war record is still not publicly available, even though he's claimed from the beginning his full record is available on his website...

MONSTER'S DEADLY WARNING TO 'RED' STATES

For those of you who think that Bin Laden doesn't care who wins, or actually would prefer Bush to win, try to explain away this then:

Osama bin Laden warned in his October Surprise video that he will be closely monitoring the state-by-state election returns in tomorrow's presidential race and will spare any state that votes against President Bush from being attacked, according to a new analysis of his statement.

Again, we should NOT give him what he is asking for! I'm stuck in the liberal haven of California. Trust me in saying I do NOT feel any safer after this statement from Bin Laden!

Keep in mind that Spain recently arrested several members of Al Queda planning attacks. This AFTER they pulled out of Iraq, exactly as Al Queda told them. Terrorists words are less reliable than random guessing at lottery numbers...
