Evil Fire

Heroes-heroes-6762037-1280-1024

One day about 12 years ago, I woke up to a very different Firechild. I wasn’t sure what was going on or why, but I thought I’d try to handle things on my own. The best way I can describe how I felt was that someone, we’ll call her “Evil Fire” took “me” and stuffed “me” inside one of those domed, Hitchcock birdcages, and locked “me” inside myself. For my Melties who are “Heroes” fans, think Niki and Jessica. I could feel “me” in there but Evil Fire wouldn’t allow “me” to talk, act out or treat people like I always had. If I had a choice to say something nice or shitty to someone, I could hear “me” screaming out something nice, but that’s not what came out of my mouth. It was like PMS 24/7 and it was horrible...

Dr. Martens are cool

(This is the second blog in a series of blogs entitled “Brado’s Quarter-Life Crisis” for the Meltdownshow.com. Enjoy.)

In the middle of the week it was relieved online what the new Doctor, Peter Capaldi, will be wearing in the upcoming Doctor Who series from the BBC.

I usually don’t get all excited about costume design in British television, but figured it was a point of interest knowing that in the next year you’ll start to see tweens dressing like a 1200-year-old Time Lord (55-year-old man) in thick sole Dr. Martens and a red silk lined coat…

Dr. Martens are cool.

World’s Most Beautiful

Every year, People Magazine puts out their “World’s Most Beautiful” issue. This year’s comes out April 26.

In looking at their “sneak peek” of the people included in this years issue, I see (SPOILER ALERT!!) Gwyneth Paltrow, Amanda Seyfried, Halle Berry, Pink (YAY!), and others. While I do agree these ladies, and the others in the sneak peek, look amazing and are soothing to the eyes, my question is this; HOW can they call it the “World’s” most beautiful? Unless People Magazine’s crew travel every inch of the ENTIRE world year after year and look at every individual living person prior to printing this issue… it’s crap

I haven’t had the opportunity to travel much, but I have run into or passed by some beautiful people in my day to day travels; women and men alike...
