Why I hate politics...

It's real simple here why I hate politics or more so why I hate discussing them, actually more like loathe. I think it's fair to say that now days I am social and I am rather well spoken and have some respectful views of the world, but some people will not be convinced they are wrong. I can, why can't other folks? Well, some folks will lie and lie when everyone around them knows the stone cold truth and never change their mind. They'll flat out say some bulls**t to make a point even though it is well known common knowledge they are arguing against.So no matter how much or how well you argue they will not change their mind... So why bother to argue?

I say I don't belong to any political party for this reason, either side can be right or wrong at any given moment! Labels like this are a huge reason we fight in the first place, someone says they're this or that and some one says they're the other and boom neither of them could ever be right in the other persons eyes no matter what even if they're discussing parenting... Well, in my eyes they're both wrong in that case... I believe we should all just call ourselves Americans with one common goal in mind and that is making a better safer America. Better yet how about we just be PEOPLE with one common goal of making a better, safer, PEACEFUL WORLD? No labels, no fighting, no lying, just coming together to put forth ideas that benefit us all as a whole!

So if I am ever approached about politics keep in mind I follow my own... I believe in helping out in anyway I can to better our planet, telling the truth, being positive, being humane, not making my every goal in life driven towards personal gain, I listen to others opinions and humor them because even though I may not agree with an opinion, fighting over it will only make me feel negative... I also believe that when you know you're wrong to the point that the s**t flying out of your mouth makes people want to cause you harm it's time to give up and admit you're a lying piece of s**t and not continue to lie and make yourself look even dumber than you already have!

Another thing, none of us and I mean NONE of us are anywhere near as smart as some of us seem to think we are... We are insignificant in the grand scheme of things and we don't even fully use our brain! This world and universe is much to vast for you to gain all the knowledge there is to gain in this lifetime, which means when you call someone stupid you in return are calling yourself stupid. We all live in different walks of life and had entirely different learning experiences. No one is any smarter than anyone else, perhaps more knowledgeable in a certain subject but that's it. You need to open yourself up to learning and realize how little you really do know despite how smart you think you are. I know one thing for sure and that is that I don't know anything... I have wisdom, life experience and some education but I'm not even a tiny bit closer to being knowledgeable in all walks of life.

Now if you excuse me I'm going back to writing about zombies...

Why horror?

First of all people who repress feelings of violence and anger are the people you need to be watching out for... People who are bottling those emotions are the folks who are flattening peoples skulls with ball peen hammers and running over old lady's on cross walks. It's like Mentos and Diet Coke, You put in the Mentos and the pressure builds up then boom half a dozen people have died in a school shooting. Why do you think these folks are so outrageously cruel in the end? Probably because some dumb ass hypocrite went after Alice Cooper, Marlyin Manson or ICP after their kid or a student in their school lost their s**t and killed a bunch of people while wearing one of their T-shirts instead of blaming themselves for not paying attention. But why take the blame for not giving a s**t about one student who seemed weird or ignoring your son because his interest in music clashes with your love for gardening, especially when there is such an easy target to blame in the media... Then you probably caused them to repress those feelings by telling them it wasn't okay to feel that way or by shoving pills down there throat because you didn't want to talk to them about it.

Well, the people who make the movies that make most people want to vomit are my hero's. The bands that tons of people love to hate are music to my ears and I don't give a s**t who or why someone thinks I need be locked up for thinking the way I do. Why you ask? because these people took a negative thought which you and I both know at one point or another we all have had and turned it into something positive. A way to express, vent and let go of these feelings. All the while you criticized them because they were different and you were the one who couldn't get their own s**t together. Then you make those folks suppress those feelings and make them unable to express themselves freely without fear of ridicule.

That's why I choose to write the way I do, enjoy what I do, and most of all continue to feel the way I do. I need to share those feelings as well. We give outlets to the folks you ignore and help them through dark times. We touch on emotions that people seem to be afraid of and we work with them to make people feel the emotion and experience the tense feelings and then we are able to let them go. After the whole thing is said and done, the boss you wanted to kill just before your weekend began is safe yet again because you just let us help you cut loose and let go of those feelings. It's why it's fun to be scared and it's what keeps us coming back for more.

So it's time to stop questioning these folks and let them do what they do, they make that stuff for a reason. It's time to stop blaming them, they didn't pull the trigger. It's time to stop ignoring the truth which is the fact you're ignoring the real problem which just happens to be your lack of concern and taking responsibility for your own actions. When you ignore those feelings and cause folks to bottle them up then your the problem... it's time to be way more open minded about these and so many other things...

That's why I feel so lucky... I was encouraged to be open and do what makes me happy. I was told to express myself freely and take interest into things other people didn't understand if it made me happy. I was allowed to experience those sorts of things in a safe environment with someone to explain things to me instead of having to sneak around and not having any guidance. I was raised around the macabre and weird because it was what helped me get through my own s**t and kept me happy right from the beginning. It is the medium that I can express my feelings with. It is what helps me cope with the harsh reality that surrounds us every day and most of all it's what I know best. I encourage anyone who thinks differently to express themselves freely so long as you don't hurt anybody else. When you think about it, someone somewhere will always have something negative to say and in the end all that matters is how you feel!

The 90's...

I really miss the early 90's now days...There was so much cool stuff out when I was little. I had some of the coolest toys, Game Gear, hell Sega in general. So much stuff now sucks and I look back and wonder what the f**k happened... People now seem so much dumber on top of it and almost all media sucks at the moment. I remember Bobby's World, X-men, Silver Surfer... Geez there where so many awesome cartoons when I was younger... Nothing now could even begin to top the s**t I used to watch when I was a kid. Man, and the toys, forget about it. Some of the toys I had back then I would open up and play with now. I really, really miss the good ole days when I run into the commercials and intros to cartoons and toy's I was around when I was little. Now days, everything just seems so boring... I think it's what has been driving me to work non stop on things lately... I feel like so much sucks right now; someone who knows what they're doing needs to step up and share their work and entertain the way things used to... New thing's back then always seemed to pop even if they didn't last long. I wonder if there is just a lack of creativity these days or maybe people are just feeling so much more judged because of all the ignorance being passed around today... Either way, I can tell you this, I couldn't give two s***s and a f**k what people think of me and I know there is always going to be a fan base lurking that appreciates what I produce. I need to finish some stuff and share it quick before I loose my mind over how mundane things have become.

Also people who feel uninspired or shy, forget about everyone else... If people don't start going back to being open and sharing their true feelings we're all going to be f****d and there is not going to be a reach around... On top of that the only thing on TV anymore will be just politics... I mean seriously, when is the last time you even watched Saturday morning cartoons?

Skeleton Warriors - Opening


I want the action figures I had when I was a kid back so bad... If I bought these now I would have to open them and play with them! Ha ha, I really do kind of miss my child hood... Growing up kind of sucks when I see this stuff. I had the skull cycle and everything. Man, the 90's were really awesome!

Stone Protectors Action Figures commercial


Ironically, these also had my attention around the time of Battle Trolls... I need to look up Skeleton Warriors now...

Battle Trolls



These where my <3 when I was a wee little horde... These and the old Halloween monster foot ball cards you got at the gas station... Can't remember which... Also Pogs! Oh my god Pogs... They where so useless yet, I had a million of the little f*****s...

Transworld Haunt Show 2011 - LHB designs (NEW)


It might just be me but I think the masks with the bands for your forehead seem sort of lazy... But I suppose they would be useful for getting lots of people through make up fast. I do think the Air Scare masks are pretty awesome. They're probably a real pain in the a** but with the air blast feature it would probably totally be worth the hassle. Those things always get a good scare.

Artwork...

I also do allot of drawing and painting... I'm not good enough to live up to my own standards  but I work on getting better all the time. You can see my progress here: JT-Rotts My Deviant Art page

Here is the last piece I drew and uploaded so you can get a taste of what I do:






I'll be taking a break to do some art oriented projects after this movie project dies down in preparation for the graphic novel project.  I'll be sure to mention when to look out for new art!
