Comic Book Reviews Coming Soon.

Later tonight, I will be starting up on old favorite of mine and favorite of some of you I talk to, that I use to do on my YouTube channel. Comic book reviews. Right here. This very blog. Later tonight, I will start with a review of the latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man. So be here...or be square. :D

More Snow, Writer's Fail, and Valentine's Day.

So here I am again, alone, in the house until the snow decides it wants to go away and die already. Oh, only to be Storm of the X-Men for a day. :(

I've just about come to the conclusion that American Doctor Who should be hung up to dry. As strongly as I feel about the ideas. I can't find one person willing to touch it with me, even people I've written with before don't want to touch it! They don't even hear the ideas, before they automatically assume ''It's not British. It'll never work." Oh, brother. Are they right? Am I wrong? I don't feel like I'm wrong. I feel if you've got the passion for something and you've got some semblance of talent, ANYTHING can work.

Then on top of that as I was walking around Wal-Mart this very morn (last minute buys before getting snowed in), and realized. I'm single (for the third straight time) on Valentine's Day. All these couples walking around, young, old, married, dating, gay walking around in the store, made me realize, that somewhere. My love life has gone astray, which is probably the reason I'm so insistently horny and a perv all the time for the past 3 years. I really need to get it back on track.

-sigh- As the internet meme says...fuck my life.

American Doctor Who: The Whys, Hows, and Whens.

Okay, after really no demand I still felt like I should be doing this post. I feel like I need to explain my reasonings behind doing something that my favorite fan base considers a disaster waiting to happen/something sacrilege/off-with his head style! American Doctor Who. I felt like as someone who is about to embark on this, I should clear the whys, hows of why I think this can work out and be good, despite popular opinion (including sometimes even my own.).

Back in 2008, when I moved to Maryland, I had no clue what Doctor Who even was. I may have heard of it in passing somehow, but I had no clue what it's basic premise was, who was starring in it, where it had been before. As British as my TV got before then was Monty Python and James Bond. So I move up to Maryland from Alabama, I become even greater friends with possibly the best friend a guy could have, and one day he pulls this DVD out. Immediately I look at this DVD, this very odd looking DVD and think ''What the hell are we about to watch?" I'm staring at this DVD, blue, with police public call box on the top and a young blonde girl with a man a little bit older than her standing together.

I'm already thinking "What is this?", but the DVD goes in because he says ''I'll love it." and ''It's like the British Buffy." (I should have learned to listen to Ryan by this point instead of defying him when he recommended stuff to me. Tis how I feel in love with Heroes Season 1, Ugly Betty, Veronica Mars and more). The episode begins and instantly I'm transformed into this weird world, there's a young blonde girl named Rose who works in a shop. Human enough I suppose. Then the shop mannequins come to life and I turn to Ryan and I give him this look that just probably said ''The hell is this shit?"

But by episodes end, do you know what? I cared. I wanted to continue, I wanted to find out where Rose would go, how she and The Doctor would behave together. And by the end of series 1, I was hooked, we bought the series 2 DVD right away and I cried with joy and laughter throughout it, then with tears as Rose is stranded on Bad Wolf Bay, never (until Series 4 anyways) to see the Doctor again.

My love affair with the show continued onwards with RTD's version and seeing The Doctor travel with Martha, Donna and all his glorious one off companions (Astrid, Adelaide, Lady Christina, Wilfred Mott, Oh, that fantastic Wilfred Mott.) and battle all his fantastic enemies ! (The Daleks, The Master, The Cybermen, Ood, Slitheen, Silurians, Sontarans, oh, the list!)

I even went back into the long rich history of the show (47 years of it, this year!) and enjoyed as much of it as I can. I grew to just adore this show. It's concept is really one of the most brilliant things in the world. It can continue onwards forever. An alien man who changes his face and his best friends (and lovers) travel through space and time together? Come on! It's fantastic! Infinite possibilities!

But enough of my admiration for such a great great TV Series. You are probably thinking after reading all of the spewing adoration. "Why not just continue from where the British version left off?" And my answer is: That's not my goal nor what I want. There's so much in that version, so much stamped all over that is the goal of Steven Moffat to continue with series 5/1/31. I looked forward so much to seeing the first series of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor.

My goal is to prove that the show is not simply great because it's British. The show's greatness hinges from the fact that it's gotten some of the best characters on it, such rich deep, vibrant characters. The humor, the love, the passion, the hate, the fear, all those characters feel. Those are not inherently British (The only thing that's inherently British on the show is the Tardis's out appearance.) They are traits of characters from every nation, every race and when we laugh at the Doctor do we laugh and say ''Oh he's so British?" (Which sounds silly to say, since British isn't a character. It's a nationality.)

I don't think many of us do and if we do were laughing at him for the wrong reason (Not to mention he's not even British anyways. He's an alien from the planet Gallifrey who just happens to be around an awful lot of British people. ) His humor and his charm comes from his quirkyness, his zany mental ability to be such an utter genius, but such a utter dope the next. I mean only The Doctor would defeat the Daleks one episode with his brains, then the next fight a villainous fire creature off with a water pistol!

Let's go back to series 1 of RTD's era on Doctor Who. Such a great start and rebirth for a show, one that has propelled it into the height of popularity. Take away the fact that Billie Piper and Christopher Eccelston are British actors. Say Rose works instead of Henrik's in London, but say Macy's in Los Angeles. The Autons attack her at Macy's. The Doctor, a charming intelligent zany alien man whisks in to save her. And Jackie Tyler, he flirty slightly dimwitted tart of a mother and her mechanic boyfriend, Mickey are left behind in the dust, everything is still brilliant about that. Changing the locale does not destroy the show's greatness.

Changing the character, changing the fact that you have two brilliant characters traveling together and saving the day, that's the heart of the show. That's what makes it SOOO great. If Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, and Donna Noble were all American girls. It'd still work, because inherently we follow their travels in the Tardis, because they intelligent strong-minded women being shown by an alien man, that anyone can change the world. That is the brilliance and essence of this series. That is why it has survived so long.

And that's why I'm setting out to prove that when Rachael Burrows is whisked away from her life in Los Angeles, California and thrust into the world of time travel and space with The Doctor, a zany brilliant intelligent man from Gallifrey who changes his face, that it can be done. Good stories with the Doctor can be localized to any nationality, if anything the Doctor should be international ,which is something I've REALLY thought about doing with my version.

If you get and this is going away from my fan fiction for a second, a brilliant show-runner (Joss Whedon or even Russell T. Davies himself) who is a fan of this wonderful British television series who respects it and wants to localize it here it can be done. If that show-runner then goes out and casts a great dynamic duo as The Doctor and companion, it can be done. If someone in Japan wanted to make a Japanese Doctor Who, localized for that nation. It'd work. It just takes passion and love for what you are doing.

That covers the whys and the hows, just about, but the when is still in question. When will I get this out? When will this see the light of day on a website? Who knows? Hopefully soon, because when Rachael meets The Doctor and she enters that Tardis, it will hopefully show all what the true heart and brilliance of Doctor Who is all about.

Roommate! Animal Crossing! Doctor Who! Neil Patrick Harris is God!

Okay, so just a mini-update here. I just saw my best friend and roommate, Ryan for the first time in god more than 48 hours. He's in bed now having got home around 8 p.m having to be back in at 4. Seriously, I don't know how landscaper survive during the winter. Sucks arse as the Brits would say. And my car is still trapped in snow with an evil branch, so no update there. I'm going to fish it out tommorrow morning however, no if, ands, or buts. Wish me luck!

I've come to realize two things however:

A) I'm a total cheater at Animal Crossing: City Folk.
B) Neil Patrick Harris is God.

Point A: This weekend I did nothing but hack and cheat my way through Animal Crossing to get money, a golden fishing rod, and the perfect house. I should say it felt oh so wrong, but in the end it didn't. I'm a video game cheater. So sue me.

Point B: Seriously, Neil Patrick Harris is a deity. The man's literally perfect. He's gay, he's strangely handsome, and he's 4 legendary characters from TV/Media: Doogie Howser, Barney Stinson, Dr. Horrible, and most importantly himself. The man could entertain you by reading the phone book. He'd make it funny, captivating and charming. Seriously? Go on try to deny it. You know he would.

Also he in my mind, is the perfect man for if American Doctor Who happened in the now times (and it if did, I'd hope for someone who cared about the project and the British version was behind it.) He's oozing Doctor. He'd give David Tennant a run for his money as the best Doctor period, British or not, if given the chance. I'm just that sure of it. So in my head while I'm writing my fan fiction American Doctor Who. I'm invisioning him standing in the Tardis dressed like the Doctor and delivering the lines and it just works. The man is nothing short of a god. Nothing short of.

Coffee and Coffee Energy Drinks. Must get on normal person schedule!

I'm fighting with myself to get to a regular routine of sleeping, I'm determined next week to land a job. I know things exactly don't work that fast, but damn it, I want it. I want it bad. It's best if I start earlier in the morning with my hunt, so I'm trying to stay awake for the majority of the day while having been up all night. It's quite a task when you are me whose such a night owl to do this, and I have no idea how I'll pull it off even if I dope myself up on the good stuff. Maybe a small nap during the day, but that's all. The rest of the day? For me, Coffee and Coffee Energy Drinks (I Love You Starbucks and Keurig Machine. Also if you are reading, Debra and Curtis Brown for gracing me and your son with a fantastic Keurig Brewer for Christmas! )

Here's hoping to all the snow melting away rather quickly, I still haven't been able check the status of my poor little Sunfire. Though the sun has just rose, so it's early yet! But with so much snow I'm sure it'll take more than today for everything to clear. Just as long as it's not in my way tomorrow, I need a job, I need money. If only I were in L.A. and could sell a script for a shilling or two of dough. Ah well.

Speaking of scripts, I've come to realize that writing my own version of Doctor Who (which yes, I'm doing, just for fun and practice. Great ideas for it as well, to toot my own horn again and yes, it's not British. Which is sacrilege and as a Doctor Who mega fan I'm committing treason for that, but that's a story for a whole other blog post.) is going to be this massive undertaking, and of course knowing me, what do I do?

I think of making it even more of a massive undertaking by not getting other writers to help me along! Right now, I'm only hoping (if I get other writers) to write 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, and 1.12/1.13. (Which is the "season" finale. Keeping the British Format. It just works.) HOWEVER, I got to thinking, I've created such a lovely cast of characters in my companion and her surrounding crew of misfits that I have such a distinct way of how I I want her and The Doctor to sound together and when you throw other people into that it gets muddled and I feel like I'd end up stepping on others toes and rewriting scenes and dialogue in their scripts if I didn't like them.

Yes, I know that show-runners do this all the time in the biz, but this is a fan undertaking between fans and normal every day people. It's just too strenuous on relationships and I'd feel terrible tracking down Doctor Who/Sci-Fi fans who were actually bold enough like me to try something so dangerous within the fanbase as an American Doctor Who for fun, and then changing their lines of dialouge/more. So I'm stuck with the thinking? Do I search out others and then step all over their toes? Or do I just do it all myself and kill myself in the process?

-sigh- Decisions. -sigh- Job woes. -sigh- Such is life. However? The one thing that hopefully won't let me down to day? Coffee. Sweet glorious coffee.

First Post! Ugh! Snow!

Can you see this?! Ugh. I hate this part of living in Maryland. One of the few things, really. If you look closely you might be able to see my main concern in all this. My car has a tree limb frozen/snowed down on top of it. Right around the hood. I hope and pray everything's alright. Just got to wait for the snow to melt, because there's no way I can get it off now, way too much snow. Wonderful. Just wonderful. :(

Why do we need snow even? I mean is their any scientific purpose for it? Rain helps plants grow, wets the soil, etc, etc. Snow? It just falls and makes a big albeit sometimes pretty mess of things. I for one say we find some way of getting rid of the shit once and for all. No more White Christmases. No more white any days. Forever.

In other news, my first blog post ever. Yay! I've been super lame this weekend, because you can guess it, the snow. I wanted to go out and get my current job situation straightened out. I feel so helpless and useless right now. I've had Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter by RTD and Benjamin Cook, DVDs, and Netflix Instant Streaming to keep me busy. That and planning all sorta scriptalicious goodies (Seriously, not to toot my own horn, but I think some of my best ideas ever.)

As per RTD's suggestion in Writer's Tale, I listened to Mika's Any Other World song. It really is truly a great inspirational song. I hadn't noticed before looking it up on YouTube at his suggestion, but I had already heard it back when people were talking how it'd be perfect for the final scenes of The O.C., so I had looked it up back then, but ultimately I was glad with Patrick Park's Life's A Song playing in those final scenes, still everyone should listen to Mika's Any Other World at some point, so here, I've provided it for you. Listen to it, while I worry about my poor little red Sunfire trapped in a snow cocoon with a mean tree limb.
