"Look, an illegal Alien!!"

I never understood how one human being can look at another and call him/her illegal. Doesn't matter if that person works, is 90, or is even 1 day old. I hear people being called illegal. I can't believe they mean it..Because if they really believed it to be true, then this scenario would be ok too I guess.. Let's say the Aliens invaded, conquered, and then set up shop. Then in 50 years they tell us to get the hell out because we don't belong. Is that fair? Would WE be illegal? I don't think so.

Don't Forget To Smile!!

Tsk... Tsk... On The Hypocrisy Horse

I have an Oxford dictionary that defines Hypocrisy for me.

Here it is

"Hypocrisy-NOUN Falsely pretending to be virtuous; insincerity"

Now I'm no better than anyone else, and we can all be guilty of being a hypocrite at times. This cartoon I sketched captures a piece of that hypocrisy in the laws we've passed and continue to ignore. Now I'm not going to get all righteous on you, lol. I promise! So here is my cartoon sketch poking fun at the hypocritical laws and the people who enforce them.

I'm going to include a description and even quotes because of the shitty image quality. I promise after my move I'm going to outfit my office with a new scanner and a program to color and do it up nice for you. Hope you enjoy, even without all the necessary equipment needed to bring you the highest quality product.

I did this with some pencils and a ball point pen. hahaha #AMATEUR

Below we have a young person rocking a livestrong shirt. He's obviously been busted for possessing marijuana.

Coppa: Smoking marijuana....tsk! Do you realize how unhealthy that stuff is?!?!

Man realizing that this cop is A) Fat and out of shape B) His life is ruined for having marijuana on... He starts to think to himself : I should have just ran....

Then the Coppa's talkie speaks: Sarg! You coming out for beers later?

My Friends,

We live in a world where the danger posed from smoking marijuana is dangerous only because of the penalty that it carries. This is absurd. Here we have a young man who is not only healthy but capable of being a great human being even though he smokes. The Cop is also a good person. But I want his appearance to raise two questions...

1) Can over eating be more dangerous than smoking marijuana? The answer is Yes. No one has died ever from marijuana use. How many people die each day due to obesity and illness related to obesity? Again, I'm not knocking down anyone who's over weight. I'm just saying... if you can trust people to be responsible with cheeseburgers you can trust people to be responsible with marijuana.

2) I'm hoping you noticed the hypocrisy of the Coppa when the walkie talkie speaks.. Just because a person chooses marijuana over alcohol doesn't make them stupid or reckless or even a criminal! It can be used recreationaly just like alcohol. Except there's a huge difference. A man doesn't smoke a joint and go home and beat the tar out of his wife and kids and he certainly wont die from over smoking..It's a million times safer than alchohol and if marijuana was readily available some of our friends and family that we've lost to alcohol might still be alive.

That is all I wanted to say.

One love and Good Vibrations my Friends!!

Pleasant Reviews

One of the aspects of my blog that I'm really looking forward to is writing pleasant reviews. Almost more than anything else. Now, I'm sure someone is asking, " What makes this guy qualified to give a review?" and "Pleasant review?". And they are legit questions. So legit that the answers deserve their own post.

Most people who do reviews are cut throat honest, have some sort of professional background in the field, and are usually an individual with name recognition - one that the reader trusts. All very great qualities in a good critic. To most there might be a lot at stake on a review, for both the reader and creator. The critic is a lot like a financial advisor to the reader. The " Buy this book" or "Stay away from this book" can help steer the investor to a good investment while avoiding a bust. To the creator those terms mean the same thing but the effect of the words can either be a gust of wind towards that tropical island or a gust blowing you back out into the cold dark ocean.

So, I want to be crystal clear. I am not a critic and don't want to be. I do not have the qualifications or the intent to be critical of anyone. That's just how I roll.

What I do want to do however is share my opinions and recommend something if I like it. If I don't like a particular book, movie or cartoon, I wont mention it. I still think the reader will be able to decide by my review if he/she would be interested in the item I'm reviewing, all without the negative. I think the world needs more people who search for the good instead of the bad so it makes sense to me to be that change that I'm seeking in my own world.

 But on top of all that,  beyond all those words I've just thrown together, here is the objective truth that we all must try and remember; all opinions are subjective. Simple as that folks! So can there really be a science to writing a perfect review? Nahhh.

I am a pleasant guy and that makes me qualified to write a pleasant review on anything that I love. Please don't worry, my friends...This wont be an ass kissing fest.

So now when you see it you'll know what it means.


Good Vibrations, my friends.

If you're interested to see how I feel about something, suggest it!



AND SMILE!
